DESCENT OF MAN

By C. B. Quincy.
o, Darwin, you have made us sad
1t is a sorrowful reflection
That we've descended from the monk
BY most unnatural selection.
Oh. why did we descend, I ask,
From heights where every prospect
pleases?
Our fathers had no rent to pay
For flats among the choicest
treeses.
They never cramped themselves in
skirts,
Nor choked themselves in starchy
collars;
And, strange as it may seem today,
They didn't care cent for dollars.
They had their fill of open ar,
And gayly swung from tails pre-
hensile-
How useful for street car strap
We'd find that atrophied utensil!
They had no arguments with Japs;
They had no plays to shock the
morals;
They had no-that's enough to show
Why man with evolution quarreis.
Ignorance was truly bliss
Till Darwin came and made an
ending.
Now, knowing what we might have
been,
We blame ourselves for e'er de-
scending

CHARITY
NEEDS TAYLOR SYSTEM

New York.-While deficiency" eX-
perts are losing sleep trying to con-
vince workers that millions of dol
lars will be saved if they take longer
steps when walking, organized charity
is in sore need of one of these So
called engineers. to put it on a
Taylor system basis, if this editorial
by the New York World states the
case:
Further light on the growth of
organized charity as a gainful occu-
patton is furnished by the report of
investigators for the New York School
of Philanthropy. They find that more
than 1000 men and women in New
York City make a living in social
work supported by private philan-
thropy. One social worker is paid
$4,000 a year, eight receive $4,000 or
more, and the salaries of 1853 sub
ordnates aggregate $S59,000 an
nually. Altogether the salaried work
ers in the private charities of the city
are as numerous as authors, editors,
reporters, civil engineers and sur
veyors, and they form a larger group
than clergymen, architects, dentists
or chemists.
Surely an excellent record of de-
velopment for a comparatively young
industry. Conceived of as a white
collar charity for the support of de-
serving persons looking for an occu-
patton that is entirely respectable and
not arduous, organized social work is
an admirable institution. 1t is some
thing to provide for the financial
needs of 1000 citizens annually.
Tested by results in the way of direct
social service and uplift of economy
an deficiency in humanitarian relief,
after the due disbursements have
been made for rents, furnishings, sal
aries for managers, supervisors,
agents, inspectors, stenographers, ex
penses for stationery, postage and
what not-estimates of the net profit
to society of the lavish expenditure
for social work are not so easy.
at is clear that the middleman
furnishes the same problem for philan-
thropy as for regular forms of in
dustry. Here again the point is to
bring the producers in closer touch
with the consumer and effect econo-
mics of distribution which are impos-
sible under the present wasteful
methods. Private charity in particu-
lar has much to gain in efficiency
from the abolition of sinecures and
the elimination of extravaganza.
Having become a business, it should
be administered on the same condi-
tons of strict accountability as any
other business"

An important and UsuaIly-Hidden
Aspect


Aspect
Since we were stunned by Shaw's
brilliant but verbose Common Sense
About the War" the public has heard
comparatively little from him, al
though he has written briefly for
English publications nearly every
week. A recent letter to the New
Statesman" however, contains one of
the most eloquent passages we have
had from his pen. 1t deals with the
question why the present state
Socialist" measures for war purposes
are not. applied also for the purposes
of peace. The passage follows:
"The main reason why l do not
make our British voters happy in NJ.
Saintyves fashion is that l do not
want to make them happy. I want
to make them howl, to drive them to
rend their hearts and not their gar
ments; to see them heap ashes on
their silly heads whilst they confess
in the dust, with humble and contrite
hearts. that though they may buy
victory with their blood and iron,
they deserve defeat and even eXter-
mination, and have no plea to offer
against that doom except that the
Germans deserve no less. For just
consider how I must feel about it. I
read in the Times Lord Curzon's de-
mand for the suppression of the
Derby on the ground that it is I'M
becoming to have .unketings' in the
face of bereavement and wounds and
death. | ask Lord Curzon whether
he supposes that there has been
single Derby run during bis lifetime,
or a single junketing of any descrip-
ton, that has not been held in the
teeth of the most abominable socially
preventable evils, including child
mortality, compulsory prostitution,
artificially produced vice, disease,
degradation, suffering, squalor, fraud,
violence, plague, pestilence and
famine, battle, murder and sudden
death. Mr. Sidney Webb offers to
put an end to British unemployment
and restitution, with their infinite
loss and decentralization, for a paltry
couple of million pounds. Sir Horace
Plunkett offers to quadruple the
produce of the Irish soil, and thereby
avert the land and labor war that is
hanging over Ireland, at cost of
$4,000 a year for technical education
in agriculture. They might as well
ask for the sun and stars. No mother
sends her son to live for England.
No father shakes his sons hand and
says, I wish l were young enough to
stand beside you in the fight for a
decent country to live in Yet for
this senseless, suicidal slaughter of
civilization in Flanders and Poland,
this illusory hatred this monstrous
fruit of selfish, lazy apathy, soothed
by huge doses of falsehood, we are
putting down thousands of millions
of poinds eagerly; and the mothers
and fathers are sending their sons to
kill and die, to MAIN and be MANNED,
because none of them took as much
thought and care for the welfare of
Europe as for the shininess of their
boots. And now that we are walked
up at last, our first step is to cut off
all the little grains-n-aid that few
struggling reformers have managed
to procure for our social needs, and
to sweep them into the till of the
armament contractor This is what

VISIT OF GERMAN SUB
Carried Letters From Emperor Will
liam to King Alfonso

Cartagena, Spain, June 23-Ihe
German submarine U-35, commanded
Nv Lieut.. Won Arnauld, arrived here
yesterday with letter from En-
neror William to King Alfonso. The
lieutenant said the letter expressed
the Emperor's thanks for the atten-
ton given by Spain to the refugees
from the Kameruns.
The submarine first anchored along
side the informed German steamship
Roma, but the port authorities re-
m,ired her to move and take up an
chorage near the Spanish cruiser Ca
taluna.
The secretary of the German En-
bassy arrived here on a special tram
late Wednesday night to receive the
letter. Accompanied by the German
Consul, he went on board the subma'
rine and visited the commander. A
Spanish cruiser and a DESTROYER re-
ceived orders to watch closely the
movements of the submarine. Instruc
tons were given to keep the entrance
to the harbor lighted brightly with
searchlights.
The submarine departed from the
port shortly before daylight.
London, June ga news agency
dispatch from Cartagena says the
German submarine U-35 left that port
at 3 o'clock yesterday morning trav'
cling in an easterly direction. In ad'
dition to the autograph letter from
Emperor William to King Alfonso the
submarine brought hospital stores for
the Germans informed in Spain.
The commander of the submarine
is quoted as having said he had de-
stroyed fifty ships, including thu.
French liner Provence, which was
sunk in the Mediterranean last Feb,
ruary, while serving as a transport
As the U-35 left Cartagena hel
crew gave cheers for Spain. The YES
sci was accompanied beyond Spanish
waters by Spanish destroyers, as i
was reported allied warships were
waiting for her.
An official dispatch states that thu
British Ambassador at Madrid called
on the Spanish Prime Minister ant
expressed the hope that the U-3!
would disappear from Catagena har
Dor at the expiration of the "a hour
allowed by international law. The
Minister made no further represen
tations to the Spanish Premier, tn
dispatch adds.
