SHAKESPEARE AND SLANG.
Later Day Phrases That Were Used by
the Immortal Bard.

Later Day Snra8eS nat were USED by
the Immortal Bard.
"Good night" terse ejaculation that
has taken ranking position among the
slang of the day, had its source in 10
less authority than Will Shakespeare.
It took Hamilton college student to
discover that the magic words were
frequently used in Shakespeare plays
and with as much variety Of meaning
as we have been giving to thesS.
"The idea that good night has the
mark of modernity," declares this stu
dent. "is a sad mistake. In act J..
scene 3, of the first part of King Hen
~ w. Worcester says he will disclose
a matter of Hotspur which is as full
Of peril 'as to o'erwalk current roar
ing loud on the unsteadfast footing of
a spear To which Hotspur replies.
II he fall in. good night"
Many other bits Of modern vernacu-
lar are from Shakespeare. the student
says. among them "Go to it, "You
cheese!' II am for you." Dead drunk
and plenty of others.
And regarding that once very favorite
phrase "Beat it, the student says
this: Every one from former presi-
dent to newsboy has made use Of
these two words. Yet in act 2. scene
L. of The Comedy of Errors Luciano
exclaims: 'Fie! Beat it hencey Hart

IN: lndionant Mandr;II.

The blue faced mandrill which, or
who, has ended an unhappy life in his
solitary cage at the zoo was a victim
to! the human sense Of humor He had
Il long, broad, light blue nose with a
pink stripe down the middle. The
nose always caused a laugh. And
when, in acute irritation, he turned
his back upon the inevitable guffaw
the bright blue thighs, edged with rose
color. raised a new shout Of delight.
He knew perfectly well that the laugh
was the laugh of derision, the third
ard lowest of the forms of human fun.
He visibly hated his visitors. Nature
had so colored him to enchant the
eyes of mate. but men have other
eyes than hers. Swift in his days OF
failure and despair might have looked
with the look Of the indignant man.

SENATE MAY BE TIED.

Several months ago, in speaking of the
necessity of nominating against Presld-
ent Wilson a candidate who could poll
more than the normal Republican vote,
it was pointed out in this column that
more than party vote would be needed
in order to elect Republican Senators
from many States now having Demo.

above named it will not be defficult to

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

For the past week there has been little
developed on the fronts in either the
east or in the west. The Russians have
been gaining considerable ground over
the Austrains but heavy reinforcements
on the part of the Austrians and Ger
maus seems to have brought check to
their progress. According to reports
the Austrian army which was reinforced
by several divisions taken from the
italian frontier brought this set back,
but the Italians have been making en-
roads from the south and the greater
portion of these troupes had to be sent
back to check the progress of the Italian
army.
In the west the English and the
French armies have been continuing
their aggression and have gained con.
siderable ground since their forward
movement two weeks ago. Late reports
however show that the Germans are
stubbornly contesting every trench and
have retaken several of them ceded to
the allies at the beginning of their drive.
At Verdun the Germans still continue
on the aggressive but the situation is
but little if any changed.
That 1t is the intention of the allies to
force the issue to close as speedily as
possible there seems to be but little
doubt now, but how successful they will
be remains to be seen.
The landing of the German submarine
sDeutschlsnd' in the Baltimore harbor
last Monday morning with cargo of
s4O0, ,OOO, coo worth of die stuff and other
product from Germany may be a prelude
to a crimp in the blockade of England.
1t will open commercial traffic between
here and the belligerent countries to a
considerable extent. This was trial
trip but it proved that one of these un-
der sea crafts can be equipped for exten-
sive journeys and if the war continues
the submarine traffic will increase In
proportion. Captain Koning's report Of
the trip is interesting. The Deutsch-

OUR METHODS WITH MEXICO.

There are certain aspects of the Mex.
lcan situation that all American citizens
should keep in mind. We have been
greatly occupied with Mexican affairs
while assert that we were standing alooi
in order to allow Mexico to fight it out
and adjust her own future. We forced
Huerta's downfall by impacable opposi.
ton, exhibited in many forms and in.
cluding the seizure by naval and mil.
itary force of Mexico's chief seaport,
Vera Cruz. We favored the Carranza.
Villa movement and supplied it with
arms and ammunition. Later on we
favored Villa in his warfare against Car
RAMA. When Villa failed we gave
oountenance to Carranza and recogniz-
ed him as head Of the de fa:to govern.
ment. The Villa elements were reduced
to state of marauding and brigandage
in northern Mexico. Our abandonment
of them and refusal to supply them
with munitions .embittered them, and
they sought to embroil us with the Car
ranza government. In this purpose they
we're remarkably successful because Of
our lack Of definite policy of our own,
and our apparent inability to adjust our
selves to facts and conditions.
Since we had undertaken to guard
our frontier, We might have guarded it
we'll. Instead of which we guarded it
badly. The bandit attack upon the
town Of Columbus owed it's measure of
success to the fact that the officers who
should have been on duty were off at
and another town partaking in certain
social festivities.
To chase the bandits across the line
and pursue them was so obviously pro.
per that nobody of trained intelligence
would pause to discuss the question.
And this was what our soldiers actually
did on the day of the raid. But the au-
thorities at Washington proceeded to do
something wholly different. They
strained all the existing resources of our
regular army to organize military ex-
pedition for the invasion of Mexico.
Preparations occupied number of days.
Villa and his appearing and disappear
ing little group of bandits were by that
time hundreds of miles away, with inac-
cessible hiding places always available
in mountain mazes where the few in
habitants we're Villas friends. With
out the consent and against the protest
of the government of Mexico which we
had recognized, We proceeded with a
British.like valor and a British like
stupidity, with sufficient equipment,
to march southwark about 800 miles into
the heart of Mexico. We paralleled a
railroad built by American capital, which
we did not use because the Mexicans
forbade US, although it was highly ab.
surd not to seize it and use it. We
avoided towns and cities, having agreed
in advance to do 80. This was three
months and half ago. The friction
along the border became much worse,
because the Mexlcans we're highly in
censed, whether or not with reason.
We needed our troops to protect the
border; but 5000 of them were halted
uselessly on long line extending south
ward into Mexico.-From "The Progress
of the World" in the American Review
of Reviews for July, 1916.

A LETTER FROM
LAWRENCE BECKER

Washington. D. c.. Nov 90, 1916.
Editor TIMES.
Hammond. Indiana.
Dear sir: In THE LAKE COUNTY
TIMES for November nth appears a
printed report Of a speech I delivered
at Hobart. which misconstrues AMI
twists my words in critieising the
German-American newspapers. For
inStance His (Becker's) conclusions
were not based upon the opposition OF
these papers to President Wilson. but
upon their adherence to the exploded
ideas of old Germany" NY remarks
were the exact opposite 70 any sucn
conclusion. These newspapers do not
adhere to any of the ideas OF old
Germany as to its social justice and
welfare laws. city government public
ownership and operation of public
utilities. but are in constant opposf-
ton to the men or party that advocate
such Ideas. Germany prior to the
present war was the social experiment
station for the world. and it's institu-
tons were studied and advocated by
the progressive leaders of all parties
| in America, namely. late Governor
Altgeld. Hon. ". J. Bryan. Hon. a. j.
Beveridge. DR. Frederick c. Howe,
late Tom l. Johnson. and many others.
and even by Roosevelt; also by many
of our university professors. but not
by the secular German-American
newspapers. for the reason that these
newspapers with few exceptions are
like our metropolitan press. controlled
and subsidized by our plutocratic ex-
ploiters
did claim credit for the Democratic
party for the Federal Reserve Act. the
Federal Farm Loan Act. the act Great
ing a Government-owned merchant
marine. the Government marine insur-
ance act. the act providing for Gov
ernment-owned armor plant and the
Government-owned Alaskan railroads.
the coal and mineral conservation act.
and many similar acts based upon
Germanic ideas; that President Wilson
and the Democratic party stood for
the extension Of the function of gov
eminent along Germanic ideals. and
that Mr.. Hughes stood for a Grass
plutocratic individualism under which
an Efficient America" was impossi-
bic; that these newspapers in their
support Of Mr.. Hughes were traitors
70 the progressive movement in the
United States which is based upon
9ermanic ideas: that Australia. New
Zealand. Switzerland. and other count
tries have copied those ideas and that
David Lloyd George. prior to the pres
ent war. advocated these ideas. and
that the Liberal Party was kept in
power because it stood for the Bis
MARKHAM program Of social justice
and social welfare for Great Britain
How your correspondent could draw
the conclusion from my speech as re
ported in your paper that / was OPP
posed 70 Germanic ideas and considec-
ed them exploded is a mystery to me.
unless lie deliberately intended to
place me in a wrong position with
your readers. consider the report Of
that speech as published in your paper
as wholly foreign to my views and
contrary to the word 1 used
I do not blame your paper. as you
published identically the same report
as appeared in the Hobart News.
