ONE ISSUE SETTLED.
The Atlantic Ocean Separates Two
Territories Of Literary TASTE

To THE F;piroR OF THt SUN-Sir, The
spacious symposium OF the continental
arm of novelis,s which you gave on
Saturday settled this International issue
beyond dispute. II showed II to be all
- question Of taste. and therefore in
disputable.
Indeed. the symposium contained a
wonderful assortment of strongly de-
veloped tastes of many qualities. Wher-
ever you dipped you drew a prlae-of
one quality or another. You might get
a fine ringing sentiment like this from
"Amelie Rives':
The Tag OF the spirit Is not only at half
mast. II Is down In the dust.
or you might &c, a piece Of this
quality from the authoress OF "Ameri-
can Wives and English Husbands:

having been killed on.
The relative proportion at least Of the
classes in Great Britain will scarcely he

Again. you might bring up a gem Of
this humor from a more or less recent
British emigrant, Pelham Grenville
Wodehouse'::
The whole difference between the men

they borrow them from a circulating H.

GEORGIA'S SHAME.
The Honorable and Honorary Title o.
Colonel Held In Light Regard.

TO THE EDITOR OF TIL SuN-Sir: One

The latest sacrilege Is to laugh at the
title Of Colonel In Georgia and to at
tempt to abolish Its use in the court
room.

poetic South. hut all lovers OF art and
beauty will hone hat the bastard hand

North. where military titles are wor-

In Massachusetts, and Connecticut,

refinement, learning and wit. the title
OF Colonel IL looked up to with almos
az c~nvious an eye a q the title OF. Pro-
fessor.
In fact, the demand is so great for

THE DRUM OF LEXINGTON.
Reflections for Patriots Day.

But yesterday I saw the historic drum
Which William Dimon beat.
Upon that fateful far off April morn.
Along each winding street.
And on the memorable Green OF Lexing-

Bidding the patriots come
And face the banded hosts Of tyranny.
Al the revcille was a nation born
Pledged to the sacred rights of Liberty.
Now meath the rays of the same vernal
Peace broods about the Green,
But It remembers yet.

The hurtle of the deadly musket ball.
And how It's sod vas wet
With eacrihcial blood-the whole sad,
ruthless scene.

Might sound its eummoning call.

Where AgimcDticus, inland. fronts the

Round the Floridian ouays!
Aye. sound from Puget. on which Shas.

Beyond the brown coils of the Rio

Abasement for a garment? Are We loath
To rouse us. and to don

That girdled us when men indeed were

On the Western Front.

After fifty days of fighting about
Verdun the issue is still in doubt.
General PETAIN, the French COM
mander, says in n general order to
his troops congratulating them upon
their splendid resistance to the en-.
emy's assaults: THE Germans no
doubt will attack again. Let each
work and watch To obtain the same
result as before. ON los aura 1--WE
shall get them. But by acting upon
the defensive the French can never
get "them." Unless the Allies I'M
dertake n great offensive on the scale
OF the German operations in the Yer
dun sector there will be no hope of
even expelling the enemy from his
lines that extend from the sea to
Switzerland.
The bulletins issued by the French
War Office since the first gun was
fired In the battle of Ncrdun could
be condensed into n sentence Of re.
lief: ut might he worse" The Ger
q have occupied II great deal more
territory than the French took in the
Champagne Offensive in the latter
part of 1919. and the German total
Of prisoners is from 10000 to 1000
greater than that of the French.
Still, the Germans have neither taken
verdun nor opened Il way To Paris
on theO other side of the Meuse. II has
been bad enough for the French, hut
1t might have been worse. In spite
of the great slaughter on both sides
and the capture of nearly 10000 pris-
e by the Germans. Ncrdun throws
no light upon the issue of the war.
WILLIAM II. is quoted ns having said
mt q review of Il division tn" other
day: "rhe present war ought to end
at Vcrdun." I;ut nothing can he
made out Of this declaration except
encouragement to the German troops

This is the first federal game pre-

Deer, wild turkey and pheasants are
said to be plentiful, and herd Of elk
and one of buffalo will be added this
winter.
Camping and fishing privileges Will

FINDS SUCKERS IN PLENTY
New York Faker Makes Ecsy Money
Selling False Mustaches to the
creduIous Public.

Every now and then a faker appears
on Broadway with false mustaches for
sale. The one he sports himself Is
rather a nobby hunk of hair and looks
quite natural as result of the way 1t
is pasted to his lip. He soon gathers
crowd by offering similar mus
tache for nickel. Scores Of people
buy, planning a Joke of some sort.
But the purchaser who does not then
and there open the little envelope con-
tanning the mustache will find later
on that he has been nicely gulled.
All that the envelope contains is
wisp Of coarse hair similar to that
used in upholstering furniture. There
is not even the semblance of mus
tache form-just tangled wisp. II
1t were usable at all it would make
about enough mustache to cover one
side of a lip. Does the buyer seek ont
the faker and demand his money
back? He does not, for he feels like
a fool for having wasted his money on
material for thlrd-rate piker's joke.
And besides, If the faker is not hunt
ed up Immediately he never VIII be
located. He doesn't care, for he has
no pride in his occupation nor perma-
nent standing. The inner circle OF
takers scorn such coarse work.-New
