BALFOUR STATES
lOontinued from page one.l

Taking step nearer his auditors,
the British envoy, his tall, frock-coated
slender form tense, spoke quietly and
earnestly of his feelings toward Amer
lea and the feeling he has sensed in
America toward the allied cause.
You will see the war through. If
there is any certainty IN human affairs,
that is certain.
Balfour did not mention a separate
peace, but everyone who heard him
know what he meant.
No one who has walked among you
can for one minute doubt the full de-
termination of the American people to
throw themselves intellectually into
the greatest conflict ever waged," he
went on.
"I, indeed, appreciate this opportun-
ity to say to the American public how
very deeply we value your kindness,
your enthusiasm and the warmth of your
welcome.
GAN our hearts are touched by your
outward and visible manifestations of
that sympathetic emotion which accom-
panies the assumption Of your part in
the great cause and the insuring of its
success"

Turning to the arrival of the French

in the newspapers were only average.

they grew larger, and by the end Of

again. Englshman is annoyed that
most of the New York critics arc young
men. At all events, so far as my per-
sonal knowledge goes, only one of the
leading critics is under the age OF
thirty-fve or forty years.
"Of course, much as one may regret
an unnecessarily fippant attitude in
regard to Sir Herbert Tree, you, good
natured Mr.. Broun, would be the first
to suggest that your remarks should
not only be taken cum grano sails, but
with little sense of humor. You, Mr.
Broun, would probably claim the same
right TO make a point Of merely a
humorous one) as Mr.. Gerard, the late
American Ambassador to Berlin, did
recently when taken to task for his
structures in regard to a distinguished
evening newspaper. And, Mr.. Broun,
you would be the first TO admit that
Trees undeniable position as an artist
of the highest rank renders his cosmo-
politan reputation unhurt by such
trivial attacks as mere personalities
may inspire. however undesirable they
may be.
Usually the American critic has a
fine appreciation of his opportunities
and the power with which he is en-
dowed, and rarely abuses it.
Critics all the world over like TO
have their own ideas Of art and artists
not unnaturally-while they may
sometimes be averse to take for grant
ed regulations which have been made
elsewhere. Every critic comes from
, Missouri, and you must "show him.
These evidently are the "overwhelm.
