Art cannot sever itself from his
tory. In the cataclysm of today we
find ourselves looking to art for some
record of these unprecedented nap
pc nings. And what do we find in the
modern trend of music? What influ-
ences are most potent today in the
radical changes music Is undergoing?
Something new and something revo-
lutionary came into our art world
with the advent in America last sea-
son Of the Russian Ballet; IL resolved yea
itself, strangely enough. into the
one word Bakst-Bakst. the designer
OF costume and scene, whose 6arharlc
colors seem 10 have inspired cor
responding riot of movement and or
sound.
This union of music. of the modern
dance drama. and of those "clashinE
colors and breath taking costumes
as they have been called, must be II
manifestation of the hour and are
therefore deserving of consideration.
Our first view, our. first hearing or
this novel art brought amazement,
question, and doubt.

Pleads With
Farmers of N Y. For
Patriotism and Tariff
Only Hope for Nation Lies in Willingness to Sacri-
flee for Country, G. OF Nominee Declares.
No Basis for War Charges of Wilson,
He Says.

OGDENSBURG, y. Y. Oct. 20
Nominee Hughes made an impassioned
plea for patriotic sentiment in the ma
ton in his speech here last night.
II don't want to be the President OF
people not ready to give their all for
their liberties. their land. their coun-
try that they love-" he declared.
There must be with us as with our
fathers, a willingness to sacrifice for the
country we love.
There IL no hope for n decadent peo-
pie. You may pass what laws you
please, you may have whatever party
In power you please, but unless you
have that love OF country which pre-
served us In the awful struggle fifty
years ago. unless you have that
patriotic sentiment which will make
you have some of the ideals OF our
institutions, Of the liberties which we
have gained here. more than OF any
material advantages, II N idle to talk
Of the future Of the United States.
"Amiable Men Unequal to Tasks"
Hughes attacked the Administration
for placing "amiable men totally un-
equal to their tasks" in the Navy and
State portfolios, and OF Secretary of
War Baker he said:
Recently we have found our Secre-
| unfortunate utterances that 1t seems
he could hardly have time to attend to
the necessary duties OF his office
Hughes reiterated his pledge of nc
promises to any group.

THIS ACCUSATION MUST BE
ANSWERED

Senator Lodge has been as specific
as anybody could wish in his charge
of weakness, insincerity, and at
tempted classification, on the part of
the Administration in the Lusitania
correspondence 1t is not the charge
of an irresponsible unknown. Mr..
Lodge is the senior Republican men,
Der of the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations. He is one Of the
country's greatest experts and au-
thorities in that realm. Whatever
people may think of certain Of his
merely political views, he has for
many years commanded he conf
dence and respect Of the whole coun-
try for his authority in foreign af-
fairs, and his answering Ameri-
canism.
Senator Lodge declares that when
that note was written to Germany
whose Cracker" was in the declara-
ton that this country would ."omit
no word or act" to enforce its views
the President got it approved by the
Cabinet; but subsequently, without
knowledge of any Cabinet minister
except Secretary of State Bryan, the
President appended to it a post
script, for the private consumption
of the German foreign Office, indi-
eating that it was not desired that
Germany place too serious an inter-
probation on those words. On the
other hand, said this private MEM
orandum, the President would be dis
posed to leave the matter to an in
ternational tribunal for determine
ton. after the war.
knowledge of this addendum, &C
cording to Senator Lodges state
ment, reached some Cabinet men,
bers, there was a protest from them,
a threat Of resignation and expos
ure, and, finally, the withdrawal OF
the Objectionable secret surrender.
The story is completely consist.
ent with occurrences at that period
Mr.. Bryan signed the "omit no word
or act" note, but later resigned
rather than sign less vigorous one
Apparently he signed the stronge,
note in the belief that its edge was
to be taken off by the private com.
munication. When the private note
was withdrawn, Mr.. Bryan was un,
willing, as an extreme pacifst, t.
go farther. So he resigned.
AS authority for this story, Mr.
Lodge quotes former Assistant Sec
rotary of War Breckenridge. HI
says that the memorandum was seer
by Mr.. Breckenridge and Secretar,
Garrison; that two or three Cabine
members threatened to resign if i
were not eliminated.
There is no hiding behint
anonymity or dead mems names, il
this. Mr.. Breckenridge, Mr.. CARR
son, presumably any member of tn,
Cabinet, knows whether Senate
Lodges information is correct
There must be an answer to tn,
question that has been raised. l
involves the last shred of public con
fdence in our whole foreign polio,
under the present Administration.

As to the Tariff.


Turning to the tarlfr. Mr.. Wilson
added:
Have you noticed the interesting gy.
rations OF the opposition with regard
to the protective tariff? II Is very in
teresting how they have diclosed their
real mind about II. You know, FOR 4
long time they said this ought not to be-
a matter OF partisan politics. II ought
to be treated with absolute impartiality
We ought to have tariff commission TO
put this upon a scientific instead OF a
political footing Very well. We gave
them n tariff commission.
at Ia going to be put on a scientific
footing, and as far as ] am concerned,
Democratic theories are going TO have
no more to do with the facts than Re-
publican theories. The tariff IL going
to he handled. II I can find the. right
men to handle II so, so that nobody 8
opinion Is paid any regard to, and the
facts. and the facts alone, are dis
closed.
but that does not satisfy them,
Now that they know they are going to
have a commission. they are uneasy
because they are not going to appoint
II. And not only that. hut hey say we
have protection on tne old lines. and in
the old familiar way, right away, with
out waiting for the conclusions of the
commission.

based tariff, or are we TO assume that
they don't know what they are talking

ion can be written only In a private
| room by a particular body of persons
And after it IL written in that quiet
room for the benefit OF the persons who
write it. then they promise the Ameri'
can workingman and all the rest OF MS
| that we will, OF course. share with then
| in the generous distribution of the
| largess OF fortune that will ensue. The
deception is 80 old that 1t no longer de-
