Compulsory Magnihcence

In Paris, lucky Paris, as a war
measure, the uniform of pleasure
has been officially discarded. Day
clothes are made compulsory at the
Opera, the Opera Comique and the
state theatres. Conversely, that
worry of the visiting American, COM
pulsory evening dress, goes out the
window. The most regular citizen
of the most American state-even
Cousin Egbert himself-can circu-
late at will and regardless.
Our native American happy-go-
lucky system Of wearing whatever
you happen to find handy has certain
evils. But it has huge compromising
merits. We sadly lack the brilliance
and smartness of London and Paris
theatres which only uniform effect
can give. But we have comfort and
convenience which are not to be de-
spised. Comfort seems to be the
controlling word in most American
dress, as the rise and spread Of the
dinner coat bears witness.
Sometimes we produce individuals
who insist upon paying high price
for propriety. There is, for in
stance, the top-lofty commuter who
carries his suitcase and hatbox down
to the office, there makes hasty
Transformation and later, after din
ner and theatre, boards his train
with the garments of his duller ego
still at hand, but this time concealed
within the suitcase and hatbox. A
pathetic figure altogether-only
slightly less pathetic than that of his
neighbor who dons his evening
clothes at home and comes to town
by daylight on the 5:16. We are re-
minded oddly of another uncomfort-
able figure in evening clothes, Colo
mel Roosevelt at King Edwards
funeral. No official uniform was
available upon that occasion, so
the Colonel was obliged to submit
to the one unofficial uniform known
to courts, and stalked the streets Of
London in dress suit in broad day
light. Any commuter knows ex-
actly how he felt
No, the neutrality-suspicious. sys-
TEN is the only one that America
can endure. Our exceptions who
distort their lives TO look like what
they are not only prove the rule.
Compulsory dress spots in our town
have all gone to smash. You can
wear almost anything from over
alls up almost anywhere in New
York and nobody will blink an eye.
For the simple reason that some
body else is sure to be wearing the
same or worse.

A Far-Reaching Disturbance

The endeavor Of New Jersey com
munities to split the port of New
York and to obtain by decree of the
Interstate Commerce Commission an
advantage of three cents a hundred
pounds on freight rates is not to
be fought by New York State and
New York City alone. Baltimore,
with no especial interest in New
York Hsrbor, has yet distinct in
terest in freight rates, and has ap-
piled for and received permission to
intervene In the case. New York's
protest against the proposed action
is that II would leave this commu-
nifty with q higher freight rate than

The Old Admiral Speaks

From The London Westminster Gosefte)
say this land of ours is like q ship
Built hard and trim 70 weather out
the seas
That wait upon her with the Vikings
whip
As she puts forth on her long voy-
ages:
Sometimes her crew may not seem Of
one mind,
And there be men aboard who mutt
neer,
Or like the leveret turn, and look be-
hind
Yet even they must sell their sea-
way dear:
And she has sailors on her quarter
That never quailed or stopped a flag
to death;
For she is greatest in the cry Of wreck
Being a Lacquer with the sea beneath.
Az, ayl her orders are the open sea-
Led BY her sailor-lover. Abertyl

THE KALINA

By the river flowing?
Ny fathers only child was l

But they plucked tho boughs of the

They made great punches.
Such is my fortune oh, unhappy

And on a day they married me.

Forever hidden,

But dry the bed now.
And youths-brave, gallant youths

But they are dead now!

Further Clamor for a Channel
Tunnel

Those who are endeavoring to re-
vive the demand for Channel tunnel
between France and England were
not at all discouraged when Mr.. AS
quith informed them the other day
that only a fortnight before the out
break of the war the project was con-
demned in a majority report drawn
up after careful consideration by the
Committee Of Imperial Defence. The
offhand answer of "The Westminster
Gazette" a strong supporter of the
scheme, is typical: without disre-
spect to that distinguished body, it
may be said that this report is of no
more value at the present moment
than If it had been delivered hun
bred years ago. All opinions which
come TO US from the other side Of
the great watershed Of 1914 need to
be revised in the light of the tre-
mendous experience which has come
to us since then"
Quite naturally, this kind of rea-
soning makes a very general appeal
TO the public and to soldiers at the
front. One who has lately returned
from France and Flanders says the
question was frequently discussed
among the officers there "and he had
never heard any variation Of the one
opinion-what outrageous fools we
had been not to have the tunnel"
These men, however, are facing the
tremendous experience" of the mo-
ment, and are perhaps not the sober
est or most impartial judges of other
contingencies. They are thinking
how invaluable such a tunnel would
be at the moment without considering
how inconvenient it might possibly
be under different conditions.
Supposing, for instance, that such
a tunnel had existed, it is not i'm
probable that the efforts of the Ger
mans to take Calais would have been
made earlier and might conceivably
have succeeded. 1t is argued that
the tunnel would even then have been
Of no use TO them unless they had
possession of the other end, but is it
altogether inconceivable that they
might land men enough to insure
command Of the tunnel for some
hours at least? A comparatively
small force would suffice, and in n
short time considerable army could
be landed in England.
So, at least, some apprehensive
experts have maintained and their
opinion will perhaps be strengthened
by Lord French's remarks on the
recent raid in the Channel. How, he
asked, could any one know that there
was not something behind the raid,
that there was not a fleet OF enemy
transports ready to come out? On
the other hand, it must be recognized
that were command of the Channel
to be lost Britain's position under
any conditions would be desperate.
Perhaps the truth is that the dan
gers and the advantages Of such a
tunnel have both been exaggerated.
The argument that the danger Of
submarines would be eliminated,
though much stress is laid on Il, is
hardly valid when it is considered
that for more than two years not a
single life was lost through the act
of the enemy in the Channel trans
port service.
