The Art of Friendship

There is certain way Of talking about
the psychological differences between men
and women which has interest chiefly in
showing how tenaciously Anticipated ideas
survive, once they have become a lit
erary tradition. Professor Charles Gray
Shaw, Of New York University, is cred
tied with the discovery" that women are
lacking in the essential qualities for
friendship. Friendship which is possible
only when one has "clear-cut personality
and a disinterested outlook on life" is
distinctly masculine accomplishments
woman is only Satellite, well adapted
to revolving about some centre, but not
so organized as to stand alone
Where have we heard or read of this
discovery" before? Surely somebody
has anticipated Professor Shaw in the
proclamation Of this bit of wisdom. How
strikingly the assertion resembles that
early Victorian habit Of making broad
congratulations about the psychology Of
the sexes. One wonders if this type Of
thinking is more prevalent to-day in aca-
demic circles than elsewhere Certain it
is that a discovery" of this sort savors
of a mind stated upon the literary pro
nouncements of the Byron-Bronte period
rather than one which bases its deduc-
tons upon the facts Of twentieth century
life.
As to the charge that woman has not
clear-cut personality, there are nu-
merous feminists who would like nothing
better than TO answer this bit Of mas
culist logic by "tu qHOque.' Moral de-
pendonts seem to be about equally dis
tributed among both sexes. 1t is the
easiest thing in the world TO draw gen
eral conclusions like that Of Mr.. Shaw
and his nineteenth century predecessors.
To the unacadcmic mind there would APP
pear to be just as many genuine friend
ships among women as among men. II
want Of personality or of independence is
characteristic Of the modern woman,
the ordinary observer has not noticed the
fact. We suspect that the notion that
woman's chief delight is to shine in the
reflected glory of her lord and mate was
always something of a myth-possibly a
subtle feminine device for fattering the
well known naive vanity of the male.
II any one wishes really to enlighten US
on this subject let him give us a study of
the effect of our industrialism, with the
gradually increasing economic indepen-
dence Of women, upon women's capacity
for friendship. Let him also investigate
the effect Of our civilization upon men in
this respect.
Why not make study Of the friend
ships Of our modern age, regardless Of
sex differentiation, as compared with the
friendships Of former times? Are both
men and women gaining or losing in the
capacity for disinterested personal deyo-
ton in this age Of industrial competition,
democratic equality and self-repression
Compared with the exalted ideals ex-
presst% in Cicero's de Amicitia," or with
the violent personal attachments and

Third Mate

All the sheets are clackng, all the blocks
are whining,
The sails are frozen stiff and the wetted
decks are shining;
The reefs in the topsails, and iCs coming
.on TO blow,
And I think Of the dear girl left long ago.
Gray were her eyes, and her hair was long
and bonny
Golden was her hair, like the wild bees
honey
And / was but dog. and a mad one to de-
spise,
The gold Of her hair and the gray of her eyes.
There's the sea before me, and my homes
behind me,
And beyond there's the strange lands where
nobody will mind me.
no one but the girls with the paint upon
their checks.
Who sell away their beauty to whomsoeyer
seeks
There1l be '-rh nd women there, and songs
and lighter,
Peace from what is past and from all that
follows after;
And fellow will forget how woman lies
awake,
Lonely in the night watch, crying for his
sake.
Black it blows and bad and it howls like
slaughter,
And the ship she shudders as she takes the
water.
Kissing flies the spindrift like wind-blown
smoke,
And think of woman and heart broke

MIR. BritIing's Americanisms

When Mr.. II. G.. Wells wishes TO present
Mr.. Direck. the young American set up as
a contrast to very British Mr.. Drifting in
his latest and very excellent novel, he eggs
him on 10 exclsim: "Lordy Lordy. My
wordw For a moment we hoped that Mr..
Wells was having fun with a transatlantic
visitor who might conceivably be attempt
ing a supposed criticism. But not at all.
He makes il clear a moment later that Mr..
Direck reacts into a more extreme Ameri-
canese under pressure Of foreign environ
ment, wanting even TO say "'Yep' and
Sure. words he would no more have used
in America than he would have used a
bowie knife" Moreover, he is made 70

his prospective sweetheart. Evidently 1t
is rated the most natural expletye Of his
very American tongue.
This is only the beginning, too. When
Mr.. Wells wishes 10 describe Mr.. Direck
he remarks that he much resembles the
clean and pleasant looking person" one
sees in American magazine advertisements
who smiles and says: Good, it's the Fiz-
gig Brand" or, My shirtfront never

Consumption for the Militia

The Militia Bureau Of the War Depart
nrent has lust issued orders applying the
draft provisions Of the Hay army reorgan-
ization act. These provisions have escaped
general notice. The Tribune called atten-
tjon 10 them last summer when the claim
was being made that the Administration
had kept US out Of CONSUMPTION as well as
out Of war.
The Evening Post" calls Section 70 Of
the Hay law Joker" Yet there is no
convincing evidence that it was slipped
surreptitiously into the part Of the law
which provides for the liberalization OF
the National Guard 1t is, in fact, an in
dispensable bulwark Of the liberalization
scheme. For if the Guard is TO be ex-
handed to war strengthen even to its
normal peace strength Of 100000 TO AGO.
O0O-some form of CONSUMPTION is abso-
lutely necessary to secure the required
recruits.
The Hav act retains the volunteer sys-
tenn so far as the maintenance Of the active
Guard formations in peace time is con-
cerned. But as soon as war comes, or an
emergency which may be construed as
equivalent 10 war, one reserve battalion
Of four companies is 10 be created for each
regiment Of infantry and cavalry, for each
nine batteries Of field artillery and for
each twelve companies Of coast artillery
taken into the service of the United States.
When members Of three or more regiments
Of the Guard Of any state enter the Fed
eral service the reserve battaliOns Of such
regiments are to be organized into regi-
ments.
But since the flow Of volunteer recruit
ing is uncertain and irregular, the Hay
act provides that when voluntary enlist
ments fall short a sufficient number Of the
unorganized militia shall be drafted to fill
out the ranks Of the reserve battaions.
The reserve battalions feed the battalions
at the front Consequently, conscripting
for the reserve will relieve the govern
ment Of the necessity Of conscripting di-
rectly for the active formations.
1t is not clear whether the orders issued
by the War Department will apply or not
to the recruitment Of militia organizations
now on the Texas border. These were
called out TO meet a military emergency.
The forces Of the United States in Mexico
have been held by the Judge Advocate Gen
eral Of the Army to be operating under
conditions which constitute an actual state
Of war. No decision has yet been made as
to the status under which the troops Oh
this side Of the border are operating. If
their status is the same as that Of General
Pershing's force, reserve battalions can be
created at once for all the regiments now
on the border.
This is CONSUMPTION in homeopathic
doses. II is an awkward, round about APP
plicaticn of a principle which should be
applied directly, impartially and univer-
sally. The country is bound to come event
ually to conscription Without it no ade-
quate army can be created and maintained.
Without it it would be impossible even to
maintain ON a war basis the present hollow
substitute for a real army which Congress
has imposed on US in the shape Of feder-
allied National Guard.

Trade Winds

In the harbor, in the island, in the Spanish
seas,
Are the tiny white houses and the orange
trees,
And day long, night long, the cool and pleas
and breeze
OF the steady Trade Winds blowing.
There is the rcd wine the nutty Spanish ale
The shuttle Of the dancers, the old salts tale,
The squeaking fiddle, and the soughing in the
sail
or the steady Trade Winds blowing
And o. nights there's freaies and the yellow
moon,
And IN tho ehostly palm trees the sleepy tun.
Of the quiet voice calling me, the long low

QUICKER AND BETTER
Street Car Service is Assured
to AdamStOn When Cut
off is Completed.

Traction service to Adamston will
be much improved when the new
Limestone creek cutoff of the local
system is completed, according to Of
Gcials of the traction company, who
say that rumor to the contrary Is
without foundation.
When the cutoff is finished and
cars are operated upon it, Wilson
burg and O'Neil passengers will be
carried oyer it by way of Glenwood,
thus relieving the Adamston line,
which will be operated only to Ad-
amston, that being the terminal OF
that line. Three of the prepayment
cars, which were ordered some time
ago and which are expected to arrive
at any time now, will be put into SER
vice on the Adamston and city loop
line and this will provide fifteen
minute service to that suburb, in
stead of the twenty minute service
now maintained

ment had not been abandoned
Permanent Commission,

ment had not been abandoned
Permanent Commission,
Among the railroad managers to-
dav there was a discussion OF a pro
posal of some sort of II permanent
commission to consider all railway
disputes in the future and that II
should begin with the present one.
Whether 1t should be a semi-priyate
tribunal Organized by agreement be
tween the railroads and men was not
made clear. But there seemed to be
some sentiment in favor of having 1t
created by act of Congress, somewhat
in the nature Of an enlargement OF
the present board of mediation ana
Cancellation. 1t was not made clear
whether President Wilson was con
sidering the idea or not.
Brotherhood leaders would not sa?
whether a compromise might be
reached by putting an eight-hour day
into effect for six months for trial
and allowing pro rata pay for over
time as had been suggested but they
said that such a system would have
decided advantage over the one under
which they are now working,
Under that plan man earning
81 in ten hours would make the same
amount in eight hours and overtime
would start at fifty cents an hour in
stead of forty. Thus at the end of
ten hours he would have earned s.
instead of 81 as he now earns and be
getting one and one-quarter pay for
overtime.
