Chicago's Mayor Leaps
Into the Limelieht

GENERAL events of the last few weeks
y have made William Hale Thompson
the most widely known Mayor in the
United States. And Mayor Thompson
cannot be accused of being the kind Of
man who stands still humbly until Fame
yanks him by the forelock into the light
Of publicity. Mayor Thompson has him
self. to the contrary, contributed largely
to the fame which now surrounds his name;
first, by an apparent reluctance to welcome
the French and British missions to Chi
cago, over which city he stretches a SOW
creign hand; secondly, by an expressed un-
willingness to push the sale of Liberty
Bonds in the Chicago City Hall, and, third
ly. by strategic advance upon the Board
of Education in Chicago, ir which circum-
stances he was forced to retreat from the
council chamber few feet ahead of a
bulky volume Of the law aimed at his
head. That Chicago talks impeachment of
its Mayor is merely incidental to the
events of a career that has already con-
tributed much to the nations headlines.
Mayor Thompson, strange it may
seem to some and possibly expected as it
may be to others, was born in Boston
the Massachusetts town. However, with
his parents he removed to Chicago at an

4 SA CLIMAX to General Sir William
~ Robertson's graphic review Of
the units of the human race at
war comes the alarming assurances from
Former President Taft that the United
States will have to put millions of men
and billions of money into the struggle.
Speaking at Pittsburgh, Mr.. Taft said:
Canada alone has sent 100000 men out OF a
population of not more than 100000 II
we arc to do our part in the same proportion
we must send six million men to the front.
General Sir William Robertson in a
recent speech employed statistics which
are available to him only for building up
a remarkable picture of Europe at war.
The Sum- quotes him as follows
It is a warfare of machinery and mechan-
isms, many Of them new and heretofore al
most untried. These have required to be
produced. to be tested and to have great
bodies of men trained for using them.
"ln the present war the killed alone can
be counted by the million. while the total
rumber of men engaged amounts to nearly
100000. In fact, this war is not, a. in the

One of the Militants

HHABEL VERNON. national secretary
wi of the National Womans Party,
is a firm believer in militant tactics when
it comes to suffrage. Like the other mem
hers of the Woman's Party-formerly the
Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage
she advocates Federal amendment
1t was her particular suffrage organi-
cation which was responsible for the SUI
frage banner which, hung out in Wash
ington late in June as members OF the
Russian mission were driving to the White
House, evoked cries of Treason! and, 1t
is said, caused bitter opposition to the suf-
frage movement. 1t was rumored recent
~ that Miss Vernon had been lodged IN
Jail. This, however, was denied at the
local headquarters last Thursday.
Originally from Wilmington, DEL, Miss
Vernon is now a citizen Of Nevada, with
residence at Reno-and vote. She was
the organizer Of the suffrage automobile
trip by which ENJOYS from the suffrage
convention in San Francisco brought their
resolutions to Congress and the President

ton from the various liberal parties went

Woman's Party in group which has been
described as composed If Socialists, Pro-

business. Last week General Brusiloff
began the first offensive undertaken by the
New Russia It's initial successes were
enthusiastically received in this and the
Allied countries. General Brusilof is
again the man Of the hour.
Who is this military genius? The story
Of his beginnings was told recently in "The
Times" by Charles Johnston, whose wife is
a sister-in-law to General Brusiloff:
Born at Kutais. Aexe Alexeevitch
Brusilof went to school in TAis, the capital
OF the Caucasus; thence 20 one Of the Rus
sian military schools, where he greatly dis
tinguished himself and laid the foundation
Of future staff appointments; thence once
more to the wild, magnificent. semi-Oriental
Caucasus as a Lieutenant in the dragon reg
iment which bears the name of Tver, an
ancient town on the railroad between Moscow
and Petrograd.
"As a subaltern Alexei Brusilof entered
thoroughly into the daring and adventurous
life which was traditional with regiments
quartered in the Caucasus, in the midst Of
some of the grandest scenery and some Of
the widest, most warlike tribes on earth;
the life that both Lermontof and Tolstoy
have depicted. He had a heart for every
adventure, but, most Of all perhaps, loved the
wild and rather perilous boar and bear hunts
in the mountain forests which are a part OF
the regular training of officers and men sta
toned there. Alexei Bruslof earned a repu-

mental steeplechases'
His military rise was steady. Brusloff

adopting the kilt for boys and for adults
in certain lines Of work.
In support of kits government fashion
expert says they dispense with the nuisance
Of pressing, and of their durability there
can be no question, because Scottish fami-
lies have passed one kilt from generation
TO generation.
Another argument advanced in favor Of
the kilt is the advice Of physicians, who
gay that it is the ideal dress for boys, be
cause it gives them the greatest warmth
around the stomach and greater freedom
than trousers.

the knees and all in vain. Trousers bag at
the knees because they ought to, and it is a
crime against nature to try to keep them
from it.
Which is it to he? The pantaloon Of the
civilian. the leggngs of the soldier, the
kilt of the Highlander or the bell-shaped
trousers nuisance of the sailor? The New
York Call" thus makes merry over the
kilt:
This is the psychological moment to take
the pants off the Britsher and rig him out
in n short petticoat, as was the fashion among
the ancient Britons. The ancient Brtons used
2 sort of blue for their scanty skirts. They
called it 'woad.' And sometimes, as history
relates, they painted their bare hides with it,
also.
1.-THE kilt should henceforth always be re-
ferrcd to euogistically as the garb of old
Gaul,' and all disdainful references 20 bare
legged savages' should be frowned down by
the best society. That was all right to throw
out as gbe against Scots, but this is no
time for such fool mockery."
Godolphin e. Ginkle, British agent in
this country to purchase socks for the
Tommies, stated recently in THE New

with the old-fashioned Glengarry cap and
feather and leather brogans. OF course, the
kits are quite all right for fellows built on
the plan of an Apollo, but what about the peo-
pie who are bow-egged or knock-kneed?

rerience | had even if / should be compelled

tragedy which occurred at an out-of-doors

tragedy being the rector's wife, Ginkle's
are shins and certain insects of saw
age type" technically known as "a spiny-
tailed gezeka" and "a double-horned flying
goozgog." The wearer of kits was stung
simultaneously on both unprotected shins,
and his wild rise into the air is reported to
have precipitated the rector's wife cover
into the ditch"
But it seems there are even more ex-
IRENE reforms on foot in England. Says
Mr.. Ginkle:
"ln addition to the kilt revival crowd. an
other lot of dodos have formed society to
have men and women dress like the ancient
Romans. You know the kind of thing
mean-toga for the men and Jacket with
I. sarong like the Dutch women wear in Java;
no hats, and sandals for all, without socks"

Americas Lagging
Demand for Books

TIME complete subordination of the
American. book production TO the
newspaper and magazine world
was demonstrated by Congressman Rainey
of Illinois. in his recent speech in Congress
attacking the mail privileges Of periodicals.
He does not call Americans illiterate, but
he does show that they are next to Spain
in the smallness of their book output. We
quote from THE Congressional Record:
To-day the only nation in the world that
produces as few books per million population
as does the United States is Spain In Spain,
instead Of having cheap magazines 20 crowd
out her literature, they have bullfghts and
entertainments Of that kind, just as edifyng
and contributing just as much to her culture
as these cheap publications, and she produces
for each million Of inhabitants as many books
as we produce.
The figures | have given you are startling.
Little Switzerland, one-eighteenth Of the size
Of Texas and one twenty-ffth the size Of the
United States, publishes more than three
quarters as many books to-day year as we
do ip the United States. Denmark, Sweden,
Norway have each an output of eight times
as many books per million of inhabitants as
the United States. Rumsnia, with only one
thirteenth Of the population of the United
States, publishes each year one-quarter as
many books as are published in the United
States. Japan, with half our population. pub
fishes four times as many books. Russia,
which has an ignorant class comprising 70
per cent Of her population, produces nearly
three times as many books as the United
States. and has a population only two-thirds
greater.
Americas movement commenced in this
particular with the advent of 1-cent postage
in the land. When this law went into effect,
permitting cheap periodicals 20 be carried
throughout the land, we had 1000 bookstores
in the United States, selling nothing but
books To-day we have less than 1900 book
stores in the United States, and they are
diminishing in number with each passing
month.
Our Ambassador TO England, Mr.. Page, a
member Of the publishing firm Of Doubleday,
Page & Co. before he left for England made
the statement that American men spend less
money to-day for books than they do for
nccktcs and that American women spend
less money for books than they do for the
buttons that 20 on their dresses.

ton of Poland, and was regarded by the
Poles as their chief executive body.
At the other extreme Of the Austrian
Poles stands Ignace Daszynski, the leader
of the Polish Socialists. He represents the
elements which look toward the defeat of
the Central Powers as the only sure guar
antee of reunited Poland The Russian
upheaval added much force to Polish So
cialism. His resignation from the Polish
Parliamentary Club, which took place last
year, had an importan: effect on the leu
tonic governments, as it amounted to a
clear warning that radical Poland would
no longer identify itself with the groups
supporting the policies of the Central
Powers.

In the matter Of neckwear the soldier
has something to learn from the sailor, but
not in the matter of trousers. The trous-
ers of the modern soldier are tight where
they should be tight, at the bottom, and
loose where they should be loose, at the
top. Best Of all, they bag at the knees.

Here's Another War

"HERE have been so very many
prophecies concerning the end OF
the war that prophets land they
continue to fourish) have come to arouse
rather an emotion of mild curiosity than

whisper of hope is not silenced.
DR.. Arthur Shadwell, writing in The
Nineteenth Century" believes the nations

Events have moved so fast of late that
though the future is still uncertain it is less

It will not drag on indefinitely or even for

cuperation, the war might have been drawn
out longer.
That is what used to happen in the old
wars, which lasted for decades Troops used
20 go regularly into winter quarters, and
there were long periods of inactivity. with
arm'stices and occasional spells of peace.
Warfare was not continuous
Nor when it went on did it involve efforts
comparable with those demanded by this war.
in which the whole strength of the belliger-
ent nations is thrown into the struggle. This
unprecedented strain we owe TO the German
military policy, which set the pace in the
scale OF armies and development of weapons
in preparation and finally, of operations in
action.
The result is 10 make a long drawn war
impossible the strain cannot be borne. And
by a just decree of fate the consequences OF
Germany's own policy are recoiling on her
own head.
