MANNERS AND OUR MILITARY

There 10 an unwritten, or maybe
1t is a written, rule at the Naval
and Military Academies that the
cadet in uniform may not carry the
wrap or the parcel Of the lady he is
escorting. Il Is presumed to be un-
military. uniting to the dignity of
his uniform and the stern quality of
his profession. With which there
may be, perhaps, no especial quar-
rel.
But IL isn't desirable that such a
rule Of conduct should be made the
basis for Prussian code Of military
manners. This country doesn't care
to be impressed by the spectacle of
it's military officers crowding other
people of the sidewalks or otherwise
displaying lofty superiority to COM
mon manners and simple courtesy.
These observations apropos the
conduct Of q group Of young men
In the Annapolis uniform, who orna-
nented Warrington streets yester-
day. At ons stage they occupied
long section Of seating space In
street car. While other and older
men, possibly not so punctiliously
trained In the proprieties Of manly
conduct A. they should have been,
yielded their seats to women laden
with bundles. the young men from
the Naval Academy sat uncon-
seiously and unconcernedly In their
places. They were the only men in
the car who did 80.
II there IL q Naval Academy rule
which requires this proceeding, apol-
ogics are herewith extended to the
young men. and the gravamen Of
whatever criticism may be assumed
to We herein will be regarded as d.
rected toward the rule.

THE CHRISTMAS SENTIMENT

Christmas holds a unique. place rs
yearly celebration. The observ-
ance Of other holidays has changed,
but Christmas has yielded none Of
It's original sacredness. Il is now. as
at first, essentially 4 religious day.
Its reality voices a song of frater-
nity-people grow at this season
more generous. more indulgent,
more human. II is evangelistic for
the destruction of malice and ill-will
differences between one and an
other are forgotten.
Year by year Christmas devitalizes
selfishness, and consequently the day
Is a powerful factor for good. II is
a positive influence which awakens
exalted impulses and fine motives.
Peevish as may be the temperament
generally, it now becomes suscep-
tible to sentiments Of gentility and
nobleness. Great characters step
from the spiritualized atmosphere;
majestic deeds Of charity leave their
blessing and example everywhere.
Yuletide is not merely period of
gift bestowal or solely a time of
thoughtfulness. Its significance Is
more profound. Feeling is immersed
in kindness. Conduct is adapted to
what is highest and best.
The first plain Christmas, of which
today is a sublime issue, dignified
sacrifice. The Good Book says: "And
there were shepherds watching, and
keeping the night watches over their
fiocks." A manifestation of personal
sacrifice. Those who would be rich
must give. The gift need not be
monetary. Giving is without limita-
tion-if a singer, give to others a
glad-song; if a millionaire in ex-
perience, give freely of advice;
IL table of plenty. share the re-
past with those who are not only
physically hungry, but thirsty for
sympathy; IL invested with geniality,
become a prince-giver of laughter, of
service, Of encouragement. Be con-
structive. Followers o: this doctrine
draw from the season a rich return
in happiness. They are the good
hearted. These folks make Christ
mas annually an occasion for definite
cd abiding benevolenee. 4

servance of the holidays which
really were community events in
their beginnings.
The persons who conceived the
form Of today's celebration, like
those who planned the Thanksgiving
community exercises at Park View,
deserve credit for making it possible
for Washington to lead the way In
this revival Of good, old customs.

FUTURE HEROES IN BRONZE

Has anybody stopped to think of
the fearful task that this war Is pre-
pairing for the sculptors and painters
Of the future, when they shall be
called upon TO depict the military
heroes in action. moro action" as
I, the movie impressrios say. The
proper combination used to b, "A
fiery steed, ridden by = -visaged
and utterly imperturbable parsonage
in military garb. The fact that
George Washington, Napoleon, Fred
erick the Great, and the rest Of the
masters were addicted TO the tamest
Of steeds. was quite immaterial to
the sculptors. A general has no time
TO fuss with a plunging. bulge-eyed,
nervous mount. He wants a horse
that will stand still and permit the
commander to use his field glasses
most effectively; or. rather. that was
what he used to want. In the days
when he didn't ride In q motor car
and use flock Of aeroplanes In lieu
Of a pair Of binoculars.
But the steed with the bovine dis
position TO chew q cud and 20 to
sleep under fire. didn't lend himself
70 the purposes Of art; and so we
see efigies Of G. Washington and Old
Hickory doing perfectly impossible
stunts on horseback, presumably
with shells bursting around them. At
least, art benefited.
What, however. will become Of the
sculptor who has 10 depict Joffre
tearing around In a muddy motor
cart Will the seulptor's art OF the
future be confined chiefly to making
stream-line bodies for buzz wagons?
Will II be possible to make the i'm
passive commander look more heroic
than the chauffeur? The latter will
be the acting partner In the COM
bination; there will be some chance
to give him the appearance Of ami
nation. but It can be done only at
the risk Of reducing the hero to
drowsy unimportance.
Possibly the battered-up motor
car would be about as ornamental as
some of the rocking-horse statues
that "adorn" public places; but the
sculptor that gets a commission to
carve heroics into a modern military
setting will have his hands full.
There viii be no glorious cavalry
charge for the painter. no fiery,
charger for the sculptor; only pick
and shovel as implements in place Of
the sword Of the infantry officer or
the cutlass that added SO much to the
naval hero. Who shall invest a ma
chine gun with the heroic atmos-
phere, or a tank" with the life and
movement Of squadron of cavalry?
1t looks as IL war was lost to art.
