Monday night, at a meeting of North

of the accident. While there he met
Arthur C. Smith, driver of the car in
which Schaffer was riding just before
his death.
Mr. Smith and o. s. Drake, his coun-

were there with a photographer taking
photographs of the scene.
There was no light on the first pole
where the poles shifted from the east

Going north from 18th and H streets,
DR.. Walter pointed out that the trolley

Just beyond Mount Olivet cemetery
the poles are located to the west of
the tracks, three feet distant from
the tracks and having a roadway Of
about sixteen feet to the west line of
the thoroughfare. At 28th street Dr.

THE HEEL OF WAR
Vivid Pictures of the Balkans
and the Russian Retreat.

THE WAR ~ EASTERN EUROPE. Described By
John Bell. Pictured by BoardmAn Robinson.
syo. pp. xiv. S55. Charles scrlDner's Sons.
Mr.. Reeds text combines two quail
tiles which are rarely found together:
1t is gorgeously picturesque and 1t IS
vastly informing. Here, after twenty
months of Allied withdrawing and
benevolent misrepresentation, we have
facts about conditions in Russia that
bear the stamp Of truth-pictures Of
the wretchedness Of Russian Jewry con-
trasting cruelty with the promises of
Liberation and justice made for the pur-
pose of influencing Western public
opinion; glimpses of smouldering dis
content; instances OF the bureaucratic
inefiiciency which has made corruption
ten times more disastrous than other
wise il would have been; tales OF graft
that leave one agape. Fifty batteries
of Creusot guns, for instance, were de-
livered to the Russian government dur
ing the Manchurian war But SIX
months later they were found TO have
passed into the possession of the Bra
lillian government. There Is an appar-
emily well authenticated tale of a bat
tleship built, launched and reported
sunk on its trial trip. II had never been

a French general on an Official mission
in 1907, who insisted on inspecting a
fortress on which many millions Of
French money had been spent. Every
possible obstacle was put in his way;
and when ultimately he proceeded on
his trip secretly and alone, he discov-
cred that there was no fortress. Ammu-
milton manufactured in Moscow accord
ing TO specifications furnished by the
Russian military establishment was
found not to fit the guns. The Ger
mans used il afterward. Seventeen mill
ion bags of -four bought by the govern
ment for the army were lost" in tran
sit from Kiev to Tarnopol, distance Of
some $50 miles. 1--WE have reason to
believe" said Mr.. Reeds military infor-
mant, that they were sold TO the Ru-
manians and then shipped to Austria.
Such things will happen" At the begin
ming of the war the Russian commanders
had no maps of Galicia and Bukowina.
1--WE didn't even know the lay Of the
land" said one Of them, until we had
captured some from the Austrians." A
trade in military secrets has been car
ried on almost openly in Russia, and
some of the traitors have been found
too influential for punishment. And,
when Messrs. Reed and Robinson were
informed, in Cholm, where they were
under arrest, that they were free TO go,
and that the government would pay
their hotel bill. the manager exclaimed;

excepted) and turn over the bulk Of
them as free gifts TO various Latin.
American republics. The United
States. having reduced itself to the
position OF minor partner in the
Pan-American firm, would at its own
expense proceed TO enlarge the terri
torial holdings OF five or six of the
other partners. This Is the climax cor
is it the anti-climax y Of Mr. Sherrill's
remarkable scheme for the ronuncia-
tion by this country VI its primacy IN
the Western World ard for foreclos-
urc at the same time Of all its future
interests in the Pacific.
Ex-Governor MacCorkle's little book
on Hayti and the Monroe Doctrine is
a good antidote to Mr.. Sherrill's frothy
sentimentalism about pGn-American-
ism. There are various test cases on
which the theory Of PGn-Americanism
inevitably goes TO pieces. Nicaragua IS
one. The Dominican Republic is
another. Mexico, in her present condi-
ton, is still another. But the most
hopeless Of all is Hayti Even Mr..
Sheriff. lodges hayti and the Domini-
can Republic, saying that they are ex-
ceptional communities, being AFRO
American rather than Latin-American.
The purpose of Mr.. MacCorkle's book
is 20 show that the Monroe Doctrine is
not only not bar to tho creation OF an
American protectorate over Hayu, but
that, on the contrary. a logical irterpre-
tation Of the Doctrine requires this
country to assume responsibilities for
the proper discharge Of Hayti's obliga-
tions TO the rest Of the world. lie says
bluntly:
Under its original application IL
viii not allow q situation to obtain
which will give foreign nations the
opportunity 10 interfere in the gov
ernmental life Of countries Of our
hemisphere. Under Che fundamen-
tai meaning Of the Monroe Doctrine
il will imperil the peace, safety
and happiness Of this country II an
island lying at our doors, within
touch of our daily life, athwart our
greatest line Of commerce, be al
lowed to continue its lie Of dis
order
Few will dissent from such a conten-
ton in the case Of Hayti or the Domini-
can Republic Why is the principle any
the less valid if applied 10 Mexico IN
Mexicos present state? M. MacCorkle
wrote his book in 1914. In 1915 an
Administration which is still talking
volubly about Pan-Americanism inter
vened by force to make an end OF
Hayti's 'life of disorder He was
prophet in Haytrs case. lie is equally
safe and sane in this other prophecy
Of his about the Doctrine:
While II should be carried out in
justice, the mode. the time, the
place and the manner OF its oper-
alton should be, and believe will
be, directed and controlled abso-
lutely by the United States.
In other words, Americanism first.

"The government will pay? Then we
shall never see our money!"
The American COnsu. at Bucharest
gave Mr. Reed a list Of Russian Amerl-
can citizens known TO have been IN
Russia at the outbreak Of the war. with
the request TO trace them. The list
served the correspondent and the artist
as a pretext for getting across the IRON
tier But once they were IN the Cars
domains that list became source OF
suspicion and danger. IL contained
several Jewish names; ergo, the two
visitors were trying TO get into touch
with revolutiOnariesl One military au-
thority arrested them, another set them
free, third did not know what TO do
with them Most of them could not
read their passports. And when these
muddlers had snarled the affair all
up, they sought to put a safe end to
il by reporting 20 the Grand Duke that
the two were uhquestionabiy connected
with an insurrectionary movement. The
American Ambassador, Mr.. Marye, de-
clared that he could do nothing for Mr..
Reed. an American. The British Am
bassador set everything right when Mr..
Robinson. a Canadian, appealed TO him.
And he extended his good offices 10 the
unprotected American citizen as well.
A cheerful, charming, conversational,
unconventional nation withal, with no
more order in its private and social LIE
than in the conduct of its national al

Turkish women Bucharest and the
Rumanians made a deplorable impress
sion on both the author and the artist,
the city a pinchbeck imitation OF the
Paris of the Third Empire, its beau
monde in keeping. There is a touch
of opera bouffe in Mr.. Robinson's
drawing Of Victorili Street, in the Ru-
manian capital, at the fashionable hour.
A picturesque book with quick eye
for the humor Of things, but also at
times a terribly, an appallingly serious
one. The chapters on Serbia, one vast
battlefield, one vast cemetery, where 1t
was not a typhus camp, with hunger
and exposure stalking the survivors,
haunt the Imagination. And Boardman
Robinson's drawings of these horrors
have a brutal power that strikes home
unerringly. He is the man, above all
others of our day, TO illustrate new
edition Of Poe.
The two adventures did not see
ectual warfare, but they saw the i'm
print Of its crushing heel and the ex-
pectation of it in Salonica, CONSTANT

which Serbia has been turned, in Bull
garia and Rumania, and in Russia at
the beginning Of the great retreat.

soldiers and their leaders, though these,
too. they show US, as OF the peoples
who paw the cost. A book of excep-
tional quality and value on a much be-
written subject.
