The Miracle of America.


Chicago Herald: In this crisis the
country as whole Is learning OF the
remarkable patriotism of most of the
foreign born residents of this country
In the Chicago recruiting station three
immigrant patriots are said to have
enlisted for every native son.
This remarkable record throws light
on state Of affairs long recognized
by those-Americans who have come
into intimate contact with the alien
residents of this country. 1t is true
that many new immigrants bring to
the United States passionate loyalty
possible only among people who have
endured the political tyranniss OF the
autocracies of the old world. The
tradition of liberty and of freedom, of
individual rights, lures man. across
the Atlantic. To the land which has
nourished these precious human pra.
rogatices they offer a burning devo-
ton.
1t is natural that this intense devo-
ton should express itself in the re-
markable number of enlistmenTs. II
is the normal development The fact
itself, however, calls attention TO the
perpetual miracle of America, to that
peculiar combination of circumstances
which ever makes Of this country a
place of Inspiration for those con-
cerned about the long marcn of the
human race toward enlightenment and
equality.

THE NOVEL AND THE PLAY.

John Drew has a new play, MaJor en
Dennis about which the New York critics
write cordially but which is so frankly follow.
ing of Thackeray's novel that knowledge Oh
that story is particularly helpful to full appre-
citation of the play. Evidently the playwright
supposed that audiences would have this knoWl-
edge. but in New York it has been found neces-
sary to print brief synopsis Of the Thack-
cray novel to be handed to members OF the
audience as explanatory of the action. inns IS
not as surprising nor as indicative OF low inter-
airy standards as press writers OF the metropohs
are inclined to claim In the first place, 1t is no
unforgivable literary sin not to have read
Thackeray, though his greatness as novelist IS
more firmly established now than ever; IN the
second place, the present theater public OF New
York is not recruited from the people who may
be most reasonably supposed to have read
Thackeray. Furthermore, a play properly
made must be complete in itself. The character
of Major Pendennis is one of the best pieces OF
written characterization in English fiction, and
a self-explanatory story in which Thackeray
characters are concerned ought to be eslly pos
sible for the stage. Meantime Mr.. Drew may
do excellent missionary work in stimulating
reading of Thackeray.

Broadway on War Basis.

New York World: Broadway's
cheerful observance of the / a. M
closing order does credit to its pat
riotism. Instead of the usual attitude
of resistance to any regulation inter
fering with all-night amusement-seek-
ing, the proprietors of restaurants and
after-the-theatre resorts show com
mendable disposition to comply with
the spirit of the mayors Instructions
But apparently their obedience Of
the law is to be made less onerous
through readiustment of the night
amusement schedule to meet the new
conditions. AS first step to that end
it is proposed to have the midnight
reviews begin at IL. and restaurant
