England IS the power responsible for the continuation
OF the hopeless effort TO crush

might have been expected to have arrived at
turity of thought and behavior. No witness
the spectacle presented by this appalling sacrifice this
inconcevabe suffering preposerousy out of proportion
to any result obtained without wondering whether

Recalling that the German prince credited
with being of the leading spirits and chief opponents
Of German militarism, his utterance is the
remarkable IN that It shows how military ardOT may

Bernard Shaw a Modest Man.
From the Boston Post.

40l lIIc 1oOSION 1OSC.
That George Bernard Shaw is not the
cold economist who would kill all per-
sons past 40, or burn undesirable ba-
b1es in slaughter houses erected
by municipalities, was the assertion of
Louis III. Wetmore at the Notre Dame
academy: He was defending the u
thor socialist and s%atirist, and explain
ing why he is SO hated by England.
Shaw destroyed the passion for
yawning," he declared. He added that
Sha had kept the world awake.
Shaw is not the cold economist who
wants to kill all people past 40 or burn
undesirable babies in human slaugh-
ter houses erected by municipalities.
That is not the real Shaw at all. He
is a kin hearted Irish gentleman
Shaw is not a harlequin, he is an
earnest n consistent That is
why England hates him. England
never feared Shakespeare, who was,
above all things, a comic artist. but
Ehsilshmen have always feared and
mated Shaw because he was a serious
artist. l know of no 1nan.today with a
more consistent creed.
Indeed, one does not exaggerate to
say Shaw is personally a shy and mod
est Nothing could be farther
from the truth than to say that he is
a 'capering humorist.' Behind the
twinkling gray eyes there is intense
seriousness and into that wonderful
irlsh voice comes a hard note at the
wrongs of the poor. The facts that the
public know about Shaw are quite
trivial, The Shaw of the interviews
and the studied insolence is public
enough, but to understand the man you
must rid yourself Of the fable at once.
Nor must you regard Shaw as an
original thinker or as a reckless fire
brand aching to assassinate a king or
destroy English society. Do not think
OF him as a firebrand playing with the
coentraband of morals without compa
sion or shame"
