The Ancestry of Nations.

Tracing the ancestry Of nation shows
an odd tendency to parallel the tracing Of
family forebears. The name controls to
very large extent. When YOU are consld-
ering your ancestors YOU give ridiculous
remembrance to the male line down which
your name travelled. Yet how many
a glorious house was as dull as dull until
some unsung young woman was grated
upon its line and brought it brains and
courage. We like to think Of our family
stock as something very pure and straight,
quite forgetting the fact that it was mixed
every generation.
Name and language are apt to control
nations. The English are Angles to the
easy-going mind; and a famous group Of
English historians have swallowed the
same simple theory. Many Americans
have commonly thought Of themselves as
an equally simple product-transplanted
English, just as the English, in their turn
were transplanted Angles Well, the
Great War promises to have a very appre
ciable effect upon this theory Of British
ancestry It is no longer a welcome
thought that the English are own brothers
to the Prussians. Truth is protesting, and
at last. by the accident of national cnmity,
Dis gaining ground.
1t is Mr.. Quiller-Couch who has deliv-
cred the most entertaining protest, and his
voice, as newly appointed King Edward
VII Professor Of English Literature at
Cambridge University, was, in fact, raised
before the war. He spoke as a constitu-
tional Cornishman and Celt and his lecture,
now included in his delightful volume, "On
the Art of Writing deserves wide read
ing. Stubs, Green and Freeman were
the great trio who securely fastened Sizes
wick ancestry upon the English people.
Mr.. Quiller-Couch has much TO say Of
this theory, which would revise "Rule
Brittania" to run:
when Sleswick first at heavens command
Arose from out the azure main.
His protests are both historical and lit
erary. TO begin with, he rejects the con-
venient assertions Of the Sleswickers
that the Celtic Britons were exterminated
by the Angles, Jutes and Saxons and the
Romans picked up their household gods
and fed before them, leaving no trace Of
Rome behind. Britain was permeated
with Rome for four hundred years, and its
customs and blood could not be removed.
As for the Ccts, there is the view Of the
great Freeman, who wrote them down as
probably cxtirpatcd, yet in the next breath
remarked that "the women doubtless would
be largely spared an amusing parallel
TO our example Of family ancestry, which

Perhaps an Embargo.

There is slight need for the investga-
ton Of the increased cost Of materials
used bv the bakers which the Brooklyn
Master Bakers Association has asked the
President to have made. A short wteat
crop, not only here but in other countries,
together with an unusually heavy demand
on this market from abroad, has sent
wheat prices sky-rocketing. Naturally
flour prices follow. Sugar has gone up
in price tremendously since the war began;
even salt and paper for wrappers cost
more.
What can be done about all this is the
real problem Consumers have become so
used to paying a little more and little
more on each article in their dietary that
only an advance or threat of advance
in some staple like bread moves them to
violent protest. There is a violent protest
now all over the country over the actual
increase Of bread prices from five to SIX
cents a small loaf, or the indirect increase
by the cutting down of the weight OF
loaves. whether or not accompanied by
such false statements OF weight as have
been disclosed in this city. Inevitably the
demand for an embargo on wheat eX-
portation viii grow as more and more
people are hit by the higher cost Of bread.
The war has brought widespread pros
perity to this country, but that prosperity,
so far as the working classes are con-
cerned, is more apparent than real, for
living costs have mounted v,v"s with
wages. And the unfortunates who work
for small salaries have been hit by the
higher cost of living without any compen
sating increase Of income. The Demo
cratic party's promises to reduce living
expenses by tariff tinkering and otherwise
have proved to be a delusion and a snare.
It may be that Congress will be forced,
when it reconvenes, to undertake the job
hv wav of a foodstuffs embargo.

A Peach Feeling Machine.

tIrOm The Gdireatoh NcUS1
There has been quietly and secretly in
stalled at the California peach growers plant
No 9, which is better known as the Fresno
Home Packing Compauy's plant, a peeled
peach machine which promises TO revolution
ize the peach industry and make it profit
able TO market peeled peaches at the low
price of 5 or 9 cents per pound. In past
years there has been very little demand for
peeled peaches because OF the difficult task
Of removing the skin without injuring the
peach and the high price Of II to 10 cents
per pound has prevented the housewife from
making much use Of the peach in this form.
But with the advent of the peeled peach
machine. which can put out perfect peeled
peach at less cost than can be done by hand,
it is predicted that there will be big de
mand for the peeled peaches, and this will
form one Of the important outlets for the
peach industry. The California Peach Grow
era. a 100000 cooperative marketing or
gsnization, is pleased over the good fortune
In obtaining the machine, which. until II is
patented, will be most carefully guarded.

meant 10 have done with it two years ago,
when they came at last to war. Their
mood now is only different from that Of
one and two years ago, in that where they
then had the will to win they now
feel the victory within their grasp. And
this being true they are not likely to per
nit their foe to escape them because OF
foreign agitation or Intervention
What would have been the sentiment Of
America of the North, if France or Great
Britain had endeavored to intervene in
our Civil War in the last days Of 1864,
when the victory of the North was no
more clearly in sight than is the victory of
the Allies now? Would the men who had
fought through three years of agony to
decide a great issue have consented to ad-
iourn the decision because Britons or
Frenchmen were led by Confederate in
fuence to suggest peace in North Amer
lea?
The key to the European situation now
is the realization by all the foes Of the
Germans that the Teutonic defeat is in
evitable; that the crumbling has begun;
that the collapse cannot be long postponed;
that only by the premature termination OF
military operations can Germany be saved.
Every American must hope that the
President of the United States will not be
ovcr-persuaded by politicians or influenced
unduly by personal ambitions at this mo-
ment. No useful service can be rendered
to any just cause by American interven-
ton, by the profcr Of American media
ton. The nations that are beating Ger
many mean to finish the job. We shall not
persuade them to abandon it, but we may
easily reduce to nothing the little credit
we now have beyond our own frontiers.

Utterly Unreasonable.

Endeavoring to defend President Wilson
and the Democratic Congress for the en-
actment of the eight-hour railroad law, so
called. Senator Stone declares that COM
from all parts Of the country
indicated that public sentiment almost uni
versally favored any reasonable means Of
averting a strike. He overlooks the fact
that the present criticism of the Presi-
cents course arises because reasonable
means" was not taken.
Just one sane. sensible way existed Of
meeting the situation produced by the
strike vote of the brotherhoods-ar
ton or, failing that, an investigation con-
Quoted by an impartial government agency
which would have given the government
and the public alike facts on which to base
a settlement plan. Arbitration was urged
by individuals and business organizations
in all parts of the country. 1t was recog-
nized by every one but the President and
the union leaders as the just and enligh-
cned way Of meeting the issue. That way
was not taken. Arbitration was prevented
by the attitude of President Wilson, who
set his face against it and lent the great
prestige Of his office to bolster up the de-
termination of the brctherhoods to plunge
the country into catastrophe rather than
submit the validity Of their claims to any
scrutiny.
The surrender Of the President and Con-
gress to the railroad workers was not =
reasonable means Of averting catas-
trouac. II was a cowardly, selfish, un-
American evasion of the responsibilities
and duties in,rc-cA g. nose officially req
rcsenting the public. If it spared the pup
lie the hardships Of a general railroad
strike. it imposed on them another hard
ship-the necessity of paying from $780,
OoO. 900 to $lOO,OOOOOO a year TO a class o..
labor already the highest paid in its field
Of work in all the world
In its text the "eight-hour" law con
fesses its folly, its unfairness, by granting
this pay increase and then providing for
an inquiry into the Justice Of it. To refer
10 the law as a reasonable means of avert
ing trouble is, under the circumstances, a
challenge of the good faith or the intelli
qence of its defenders, or of both.

habitually ignores the female line. Mr.
Ouiller-Couch has much fun with the
mighty memory Of Edward Augustus
Freeman and his masculine theory OF an
cestry.
Turning the same criticism upon those
scholars who trace the English literary
lineage back to Beowulf, Mr.. Quiller-Couch
makes an even sharper case for the Med
iterranean sources of our poetical lnspira-
ton. It was not only that Chaucer studied
and consciously followed Dante and
Boccaccio-as did all the leaders Of the
great revival. 1t was that, using IN large
measure an Anglo-Saxon vocabulary, the
new literature of England was in every
essential, "in style, feeling, imagination, "
and even more "in knowledge Of what It
aimed TO be-" a new thing, "as different
from Anglo-Saxon poetry as cheese Is
from chalk, and as much more nutritious"
Mr.. CUTLER Couch, to-day looking across
Europe for close intellectual kin, would
ignore the whole Teutonic peoples and
rest his eye on Rome.
It is an interesting pursuit, ancestry,
and so delightfully."- beyond scientific estab-
Iishment that every one may have his
guess. Mr. Quiler-Couch is properly mod
est, taking warning by the absurdities of
he Freeman-Green school So should we
all be. The only facts we Americans can
feel sure Of are that our original stock was
very thoroughly mixed, that we are pro
ceeding to mix it still further, and that
mixed races have done very fair work in
the history Of the world.

Priests Who Fight for France.

When the history of the great war is writ
ten. one of the finest chapters will be dedi-
Gated to the heroism Of Frances soldier
priests" Serving as private or military chap
lains to the troops, they have shed fresh
lustre on the glory Of France
When the war broke out France needed men
to place against the strong and numerous
German forces. and as the French regular
troops and reserves wre not sufficient to cope
with the invading Teutonic hordes, the French
War Office had TO call for volunteers. The
Archbishop of Paris Endorsed the appeal OF
the War Office and urged the young priests
who could be spared from their clerical du-
ties in the different parishes throughout
France to join the forces.
Thousands offered their services as army
chaplains. others joined the rank and file OF
the army and to-day there are more than
twenty thousand priests on the battlefield,
either fighting or giving the last rites Of the
Catholic Church 20 the dying in hospitals or
on the field OF honor. Many have sacrificed
their lives for their country, others have been
taken prisoners and are now doing their
benevolent work in the prison camps in Ger
many. To the German Kaiser, though hated
.Lv every patriotic Frenchman, ! cannot do
otherwise than pay the hlBheat respect lor

prison the privilege accorded to officers by
granting them parole and placing them on the
ray rolls the same as officers. They are al

Many heroic deeds on the battleheds have
been reported. and many a wounded French

Doina of Love and War.
Rumsnian war Song

Rumsnian War Song
From The Westminster Gazette
If loved a maiden. maiden fair,
With the ravens gloss DER her braided hair;
Had a sweetheart, faithful true,
With lips like roses moist with morning dew;
Had wife with eyes like autumn sloes
And bosom chaste as Balkans driven SHOWS,
Then like a nightingale twilight fell
My Doina Of love to the pale white moon
I'd tell
Ii | were the owner Of carabine
n sword as true as sisters love were mine;
If were the master of noble steed,
Like lightning, swift and black as sinful
deed;
Were the leader Of those brethren seven,
Who on winged dragons dared to scale to
heaven,
Then as an eagle at dawn of day I'd soar.
Ny Doina of war to the fierce red sun I'd
pour.
To my love I'd say: ooh! sweetheart, by the
Cross
swear to guard thee from all pain and loss"
To my horse I'd shout: oh gallant charger,
fly;
Outstrip yon swallows darting through the
sky"
To the chiefs I'd call; ooh! valiant brethren
mine.
DER YOUR brave bosoms trace the Holy Sign
And VOW that never on the battlefield
Whilst life remains shall you to foeman yield.
Awake! Arise! The Moslem foe is near;
Strike now for hearth and home, for kin
and country dear"
