"SOCIETY"

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
A book reviewer-James L. Ford pre-
sumably, although the article is not
signed-takes up cudgels for Society"
Reviewing novel by Kathleen Norris,
in which there is an effort to depict the
higher social life of the American me-
tropolis, he says:
Her heroine lives in a perfect whirl
of highballs, divorce cases, bridge and
fashionable inquiry. The society
that Mrs. Norris portrays as a back
ground for the emotional vaporings of
her heroine is apparently made up of
everything she had read on the subject
That such persons exist is I'M
doubtedly true. but they belong to the
sporting life of the suburbs rather than
the circles of fashion to which she cred
its them. 1t is impossible to create the
illusion of social distinction by cata-
logues of automobiles, country houses,
dresses, jewels, dinners, games of golf.

ances of wealth.

York, and in several other large Amer

that their set shall be a law unto itself.
There are few native New Workers, de-
spite the rapid growth of the city, and
there are many New Workers by adop-
ton who have lived there long enough
to feel at home and have the common
instinct to defend the home against SLAM

patience with literary caterers who serve
their readers what their public likes in
the way of depletion of representative
social life in Americas first city. Nearly
every considerable city has a set charac-

HIGHEsT-PAID SOLDIER

From the New York World.
The double salary drawn by Maj. Gen.
John F. Organ for commanding the
New York troops in the army on the bor-
der gives him a unique distinction. War
makes many regulations, and generals
during the last two years are more plas-
tered over with medals and orders of
merit than ever before; bpt none can be
discovered who has equalled Gen. DRY
ans feat of drawing two salaries for the
same work. In the matter of emolu-
ments, at least he is bigger man than
Scott or Funston, and doubtless the best
paid general in this hemisphere. Re-
garding military service on cash basis,
he is exhibiting 200 per cent efficiency.
Certainly New York is showing itself
generous employer in the matter In
continuing to: give the commander of it's
National Guard full pay while he is serv-
ing the federal government as an officer
it sets an onerous example to private
employers. This is making service in the
guard decidedly profitable, but with an
effect on the tax that will hardly tend
to make this kind of martial glory popu-
lar with taxpayers.

A HERO SINGS HIMSELF

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
A brave man is Capt. David Thomson,
master of the British steamer Strath-
ness, which has just arrived at Balti-
more, so recently the port of call of the
world renowned Deutschland. A stout
ship, too, is the one he shippers It
may be that he has heard some of the
things about the U-boat and the gallant
Captain Koenig and the attention the lat
ter received may have inspired his tale
That is as it may be. There will be some
inclined to skepticism, regarding his mar
rative, Others will recognize that the
men who go down to the sea in ships
encounter odd experiences which in these
days should lose nothing in the telling
when the telling is done in the port of
Baltimore.
The plain unvarnished tale of Captain
Thomson is that about a month ago in
the Mediterranean he encountered Ger
man submarine and, following admiralty
instructions and with the confidence Of
hero, he gave fight. The Strathness
was struck several times, according to
the captain, and once the submarine
launched a torpedo which found target
in the British ship. But the ship, as
remarked before, is stout one. and the
torpedo sank helplessly into the depths
of the ocean while the good ship kept up
the fight unframed. Like many of the
other merchantmen of her country, the
Strathness carries a gun mounted aft
for defense, manned by two gunners Of
the British navy. With one well directed

SHIPLOAD OF ACTORS

From the New York Herald
Seldom has the international character
of the American stage been so faithfully
illustrated as when the st. Paul arrived
in New York yesterday with varied ma
tionalities of men and women stars play
wrights and others on board. There was
distinguished British playwright who
has been serving his country as ply
sician in the trenches, an American
comedian who has contributed to the gay
ETY. of London at time when gayety is
much appreciated by the soldiers in
valided home, a famous English woman
star who has been lodging Zeppelins even
at her quiet country place in Suffolk and
many beauties of both the English and
the American theatre.
One Of the most interesting personali-
ties on the st. Paul was w. Somerset
Vaughan, who is both a physician and
playwright and who has not been in
America in three years. He served in the
French field hospital at Arras and lately
has been attached to the intelligence de-
partment of the British army.
All came to New York aboard the same
steamship to help make the American
theatrical season just beginning one of
the most interesting in it's history.

shot these put the submarine out of COM

tain says the shot was followed by an
explosion. The submarine dived imme-
diately and rose no more. Wherefore the
captain admits she was sunk and he is
entitled to all possible honors a grateful
government can bestow the next time he
hits a home port.
1t is all very interesting as well told

that the captain sails stout ship; if
