The News is rather short on material
when it brags about entertaining the

contemporary has probably forgotten
that the leading contralto who sang with
her in grand opera in Covent Garden,

BRIGHT LITTLE STAR.

THAT was his Blue suit. He had
looked at his White suit, and at his Sill

wearing anything but his Blue suit.
Even with the little Stars twinkling
around MIN he couldn't make up his
mind to wear anything else.
Some of the Stars became unhappy
too and went to sleep or disappeared
from view. And Mr. Moon looked Bluer
than the whole Sky.
"One very brave little Star was shin

Moon, just TO chat with you
THAT'S good of you, little Star. I
would like to talk to YOU

does look very much like Rain, though
and the Star almost faded out of sight.
"Ihen,' said Mr.. Moon. we won't
talk about the Rain. For l don't want
you to leave me all alone in the Sky
But what shall l talk about said
the Star. Tn not used to talking. I
beam and sparkle and twinkle and all
such things-but talking, alas and
alack, I've never been much of a
talker.'
"'Well,' said Mr.. Moon. 'Then III
say what We'll talk about And Mr..
Moon grinned a little. Well talk

A bitter blow has fallen on 200 or
more American born residents of Eng
land. \ cruel state department refuses
to let them register as American citi-
zens and refuses to give them passports.
The tragic result is that a good many
of the gentlemen concerned face the
prospect of being drafted into the Brit
ish army. For if they are not Ameri-
can citizens, it seems to follow naturally
that they are British subjects and there
fore liable to military service.
The English have coined an apt name
for such persons. They are Twilight
Zoners. " They dwell neither in light
nor in darkness, but in a shalowy Dor
derland between the two nationalities.
In all of the cases in question, our
state department maintains that the
men and women now claiming the pro,
lection of the Stars and Stripes have
really expatriated themselves. They
may not have taken the oath of allie
glance to the British sovereign, but they
have made their homes in England fol
periods ranging from ten to thirty
years, and in all that time have not per
formed any of the duties of American
citizenship. They do not belong to tn,
growing class of Americans who resid,
abroad as business representatives o.
American firms, and who usually pre-
serve their Americanism unimpaired
They belong rather to the leisure classe
living abroad from preference. Ant
now, says Uncle Sam, having made thei
choice, let them stick to it.
There s sort of poetic justice, too
in many of these eases. 1t is mostl
such =" Americans - as these who are re
sponsible for the slanderous and dis
loyal criticism of the American peOpl
that has been so frequent in Europea
/ capitals since the war began. 81 am a
American, such a person usually say
by way of preface, Fbut l am ashame
of my country Thus the poison sink
deeper, the Islander spreads farthe
than if the critic had spoken as a fol
eigner or simply as an impartial oil
server.
Real Americans, wherever they live
will shed few tears over the plight G
these people who, having repudiate
America now find themselves repudia
ed by America.

Criticism is harbed shaft which is
aimed at the heads of people who have
climbed far enough above sea level to
make a good target.
Very few people escape criticism in
one form or another, but when they do
get off altogether it is time to pick out
the quartet. The man who is criticised
the most will usually be found in the
possession of something which other
people would like, but never had the
nerve or the brain to 90 out and get.
1t is a favorite pastime to critlcise
the pastor for the falling off in the Sun
day evening attendance, but if every
critic on the membership record We're in
his pew on Sunday the ushers would
have to bring in chairs and the past or
wGuld faint in a crumpled heap behind
the pulpit. We have too much free
mouthed criticism of the clergy on the
part of church members who will not
attend divine worship because there is
somebody on the official board who gave
them nine bars of soap for a quarter
| instead of ten
Probably the best target for the critic
is the political candidate who won
the nomination and would like to hold
office long enough to get back 2 per cent
of his campaign expenses. If there is
anything the candidate S family diln I

No one can blame the Vermont re-
eruits for being thoroughly disgusted
with the official red tape that brought
them as far as Brattleboro on their
way to Eagle Pass and then sent them
back to Camp Governor Gates with the
prospect that they will not get farther
south than that station during their
term of active service. However, in
spite of their disappointment the bows
should remember that it is the part of
4 good soldier to look at all orders
philosophically and that they are serv-
ing their country best when they are
doing their work cheerfully wherever
they may be. just what was respon-
slble for the order that sent the Yer
monters back to Burlington early yes
| terday morning has not been officiallY
disclosed but it may safely be assumed
that the reason was related in some
way to the threatened railway strike.
| 1t is passing strange, though, that the
order could not have been given in
time to save the troops the diseomforts
of n journey the length of the state
and back although it may be that the
ride, even with the disappointment at
one end, was welcome relief from the
monotony of camp life.
