AUSTRIANS APPLYING FOR
 NATURALIZATION PAPERS,
Courts at Hartford Re<eeed-Tsns of
 Thausands in Conneeticut.

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 7.--kSubiects of fae Austro Hungarian empire, who are numbered by the tens of thousands ir Connecticut, have been 4acking here and to Hartford to secure nat uFaHzation papers from the courts Today the number was large and one shop fierce came from Seymour, each man intent upon becoming a citizen.
 In Bridgeport and Waterbury the number of Austrians and Hungaria as and all the tongues that the dual enn- pire embraces is large, and most of them, finding employment in the founderies and metal working plants have been drawing substantial wages.
 The problem which is now presented by @4&ing to the list Of enemy aliens has been considered by the state council of defense and it is understood that plans for meeting it have been formulated should the occasion arise The draft exemption boards have the problem already. Many young men of Austrian nativity have been willing te accept service and have i,eep called for exaEnizfatien, Now the boards must call large numbers of eligibles in some districts to get the small balance due on the draft quota because so many will be added to Che list of ineiigfbles by reason of a declaration of war against Austria-

Let Us Have No Art Frontiers,

In view Of the fact that the
directors Of the Metropolitan
Opera Company of New York
are said to intend reducing the
number Of German operas to be
presented next season from 40
TO 20 per cent. Of the total num-
Der Of operatic performances,
the following fair and unpre-
JUDGED article which appeared
IN The New York Evening Mail
IS Of more than passing inter-
est:
All the music lovers hope that
the directors Of the M~etropoli-
AN Opera Company, in their
important task of planning the
coming seasons programme,
will adhere to the cosmopolitan
standards which they have fol-
owed in the past. New York
Aas learned to rely upon the
artistic Judgment, the enter
prise and the elevated taste Of
.hese gentlemen, including con-
spicuously Mr.. Gatti-C asazza.
This confidence has been justih-
I'd in the past by the presenta-
lion Of the best operas in the
world, with the most accom-
plished artists in the world and
with the most elaborate artistic
accessories in the world.
Mr.. Gatti-C asazza and his
lellow.directors can be relied
spon to present an equally
cosmopolitan programme of
3peratic works this season.

GUS QOlidIS viii nave 10 DC
spent before the wal is brought
to a successful conclusion and
many thousands of young Amer
leans will be unnecessarily kill
ed. All that the German general
staff really needs in the way
of war propaganda is a liberal
supply Of quotations from such
spokesman Of democracy as the
New York Times and Sun OF
the Morning Post Of London.
There is no. exaggeration in
the foregoing indictment. The
cables from Copenhagen and
Amsterdam have illustrated re-
peatedly the obstacles which
American jingoism is placing in
the path Of American democratic
diplomacy. German liberal jour
nails have been obliged to warn
their readers against the way
in which American newspapers
have perverted the meaning Of
the Presidents reply, and the
great difficulty which the Ca
tholic Centrists have had Of
converting the Presidents offer
into a help rather than into a
hindrance to their work on be-
half of reform in Germany has
been its popular Interpretation
in America as a mere shrek Of
defiance. This kind of talk or
writing is clearly male6cent.
The President has officially
adopted the contention that the
war can be won for liberalism
if and only if military force can
be redeemed by a clarifying and
%reassuring diplomacy. Hence
forth any American citizen or
newspaper who breaches an ir-
reconcilable program, who in
dulges in angry determinations
against the whole German ma
ton and who insists upon mill
tary victory as the only instru-
ment Of political and moral
victory is injuring the successful
prosecution Of the war by his
own government. The most
fragrant pacihst who wishes to
stop the fighting before the end
is achieved is not giving any
more aid and comfort to the
enemy than the lingo whose talk
and whose program tend to ce-
ment the union between the
German people and the German
government True patriotism, even
in the midst of war, has ceased
to mean prescription, the ex-
IRENE Of emotional intemper-
ance, a harsh Jacobinisrn of
mind, and the systematic at
tempt either actually or morally
to lynch everyone whom the
patriot prefers to suspect or
to dislike. 1t has come rather
to mean, as it did in the case of
Abraham Lincoln, scrupulous
fairness of attitude towards
enemies within and without the
gates, ultimate stability Of ma
tional purpose, and an indefatig-
able and opcn-minded attempt
to fulfil it in the least costly
way by uniting the immediate
resistance Of wal with a polite
al policy of ultimate concilia-
ton.

Art knows no frontiers. The
masterpieces in opera belong,
not to the nations whose genius
originated them, but to the
world. To exclude Wagner,
Beethoven and Mozart from the
repertory of the Metropolitan
would be to limit greatly the
scope Of the work that is being
done in our temple of music.
Germany would not suffer from
such an act of art-yandalism,
but New York and America
would suffer most decidedly.
1t is barbarous business to in
ject the rancors of wal into the
peaceful domain OF art and
literature. Nobody would think
Of consigning the masterpieces
Of Goethe and OF Schiller to
the flames, as a Moslem con-
queror once consigned the pre-
cious parchments Of the library
Of Alexandria. Ii would be
equally absurd to eliminate Ger
man opera from the Metropoli-
tan for the sole reason that we
happen to be at war with the
nation that produced Wagner,
Beethoven and Mozart
Let us have Italian opera,
and Russian opera, and French
opera, and let us also have
German opera, as we have
had it in the past. Let us have
the best that the world has pro-
duced. New York will be salts
fed with nothing less.

AIDING our ENEMIES.
HECTIC AND RECKLESS JINGOISM INJURIES
SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTION OF THE WAR.

By request Of many readers
we herewith print in full the
concluding sentences OF that
significant article which appear
ed m the latest issue of The New
Republic.
but they (the o~yerzeal-
Gus paci6sts) are not the only
Americans who are giving aid
and comfort both to the enemies
of their own country and to
the enemies of democracy. Not
less unpatriotic and equally
baleful in its effects IS the be-
havior Of those of our fellow
countrymen who instead Of
seeking to discipline the weapon
OF war to the service Of demo-
eraey are doing their best to
poison the souls of their coun-
trymen with sheer Jacobin bar
barism. Until the President
broke. his long silence we were
drifting into a situation which
permitted vacant and bumptious
minds like that Of Mr.. Cleve-
land Moifett, to set themselves
up as the arbiters OF loyalty.
The man who could most easily
become red in the face was
erected into the model which
others were expected to initiate.
If you were disposed to be a
little less hectic, a little more
reasonable, a trifle discriminat-
ing, you were suspected Of sedi-
ton. 1t rendered you liable to
be hailed before an unofficial
Vigilance Committee Of Public
Safety and be morally lynched
or guillotined in order that the
republic might be purified. Win
ming the war, so it seemed, de-
pended on losing our reason.
The purpose of the Presidents
reply 10 the Pope may well be
frustrated unless something is
done TO revise these simple no
tons Of how a patriot should
think and feel and talk. The
Americans who ~repudiate and
abhor all moderation and all
federation, and who confuse
complete loyalty with complete
jingoism, are not only peryert-
ing the spirit of democracy at
home for the ostensible purpose
of safeguarding its interests in
the world, but they are thwart-
ing the success of the declared
and accepted policy of their own
nation. They are aiding the
German government in its mill
taT1St ambitions by helplng IL
sustain the morale and secure
the thick-and-thin allegiance of
the German people. They have
been making it extremely diff
cult for German liberals to con-
vince their fellow-countrymen
that the President really means
what he says. Thus they are
actually strengthening the re-
sistance which the American
army and navy will have to
overcome. Unless they can be
persuaded to cease their re-
ordinations and moderate their
turbulence, billions of superflu-
