IN 1909 William Watson published a
poem which stirred up much comment
in England and in this country, too. 1t
was said to be an indictment Of a lady
high in social and political circles; indeed,
It's safe to say that Watson would not
have been knighted If Lloyd Georges
immediate predecessor as Premier were
still in office. Here's a sample stanza or
two Of The Woman with the Serpents
Tongue:
She ia not old, she is not young,
The Woman with the Serpent's Tongue,
The haRgard cheek, the hungering eye,
The poisoned words that wildly fly
The famished face, the fevered hand
Who sights the waTthiest in the land,
Sneers at the JUST Scontemns the brave
And blackens goodness in its grave
To think that such as she can mar
Names that among the noblest are!
That hands like hers can touch the springs
That move who knows what men and
things?
That on her will their fates have hung
The Woman with the Serpent's Tongue.
Since a blow as fierce as this, II aimed
at a particular woman, would be a most
unknlghtly thing, it may be we'll to be-
lieve that the honor conferred upon Wat
son acquits him of any ungallant intent
In the verses in question.

A NEW BRITISH
REVOLUTION
Demand for a Federal Empire
Growing in Strength as the
Colonies Fight for
England
BY GILBERT VIVIAN sELDEs


LONDON, May IS.
NIFTY years from now the record will
Il be written Of the silent revolution which
took place in Great Britain between 1914
and 1917. II will have many important
items, but the first in its effect on the world
will be the change Of heart concerning the
British empire itself. I put this fifty years
hence because It is safe TO assume that the
full meaning Of the revolution will not be
known until that time. Only the surface
things can be mentioned today.
Until we came into the war It was rather
unpleasant to think about this change
which will transform the British Empire
into the British Commonwealth. We we're
out Of IT, and It always seemed that, In
tentonally or not, we were the object or
this change. The French, too, felt that GER
tain aspects Of the new order OF things
would stand between them and their great
ally after the war; We can be certain now
that no such fhlng will take place.
The British Empire Is slowly merging
into new federation. Traditional and Inn
perlalistic to the end, the Briton will prob
aDly continue 10 call u the empire Doeeh
he still swear by Jove? But the time has
passed when this tight little isle can hope
TO be actual mistress of the vast dominions
in which she could be swallowed up hum
dred times. The war has accelerated a move
ment which was slowly working through
the empire. In fact the war has rather
thrown out the most ambitious plan for the
,k1ts
the change would have been long in coming
If the war hadn't shown the monstrous abb
surdity Of the present system.

Anti-CrueIty

Cruelty to animals should in some
way be reduced to- the minimum if
not effectua1ly prohibited. And it is
safe to predict that with the onward
stride Of Christian reforms the amount
of cruelty will be gradually 1essened
until we will wonder at things that
were permitted and are now usual
and frequent 1t is probable that this
needed reform will advance with 9TH
ers, for great movements are inter-
locked and related, and one reform
cannot make progress without afford
ing an up1ift to the rest. But as hope
full as we may be, yet definite and
aggressive work is required in order
that the advance of the anti-cruelty
crusade should be as fast and great
as possible and made continuously.
That organization should be encour-
aged and money freely used in order
that information be literally given
and the law vigorously executed, who
GAN conscientiOuslW question? In
this era Of an effective mail and phone
service instances of cruelty should at
once be reported to proper authori-
ties in the country, in the village,
town or city. 1t is quite certain that
few examples of law execution will
not be without a benefcient effect up
on many who manifest a proneness to
cruelty. We. believe, too, that anti
cruelty should be taught in the schools.
In harmony with lessons on temper
ance and peace, children should be
taught the baneful, harmful effects
of cruelty-baneful to perpetrator as
well as victim. Such a course will
be enlinently practicalJ and cannot
but enhance the temporal and moral
interests of all classes. 1t does seem
that in the vast amount of legislation
in city councils, state legislatures and
congress that the creatures which
Coz has given us, both for enjoyment
and convenience, should receive am
pie protection in the enactment and
enforcement of needed legislation.
