Two Visitors TO M. Cambon

Prom The Manchester Grdrdiaa)
Some months ago an old man called at the
French Embassy and asked to see the am
bassador. NJ. Cambon saw him, and the man
produced little square Of old red silk He
explained that this was part Of a trcolor
flag captured at Waterloo by a party OF
soldiers which included his grandfather.
They had cut up the flag, and this piece had
been treasured in the family ever since.
The old man felt that he could no longer
keep it, and wished 10 hand it back to our
friends, the French. Another gift at the
embassy was no less curious. A visitor
called carrying heavy fat case. lie opened
it in the presence of the ambassador and
showed fine picture by Greuze, which he
asked the ambassador TO receive as gift
10 France. The donor said that it had been
in his family for some time, and he wanted
now TO present 1t to France for a French
museum, or to be sold for the French hos
pital funds or anything they wished. He re-
fused to give his name, and left no clew
10 his identity but the picture. Both Of
these donors mentioned Verdun as deciding
them to give back these things to France.

Authors Neither Heard Nor Seen

In the letter which Mr.. Bernard Shaw
wrote to his friends Of the Drama League
in defence of his liberties and declining to
visit this land of the Mann act he re-
marked: Authors, unlike good little chill
dren, should be heard, not seem" By
"heard," he plainly meant read; for ne
was fatty refusing an invitation to lecture.
An authors books were sufficient, seems to
have been his point. To see or hear an
author in the flesh is none of anybodys
business.
Perhaps it is modesty that lies back of
the modern dearth of lecturing writers.
A few poets venture forth, Mr.. Alfred
Moves, Mr.. Wilfrid Gibson, and always our
own Vachel Lindsay. They seem to find
pleasure and profit in the spoken word.
The tradition of their trade, from Homer
down through Blondel, supports their
practice But what recent parallel is there
for the famous visits of Thackeray and
Dickens-or Matthew Arnold? Mr.. Wells
blows into America and writes us up. So
does Mr.. Bennett. The lecturing author
is all but obsolete. And is it modesty that
keeps them off stage, as Mr.. Shaw implies
The shifting Of interest, of economic in
terest, of the cash, in short, seems the
more likely explanation. The Chautauqua
survives in lusty fashion in certain sec
tons Of America. But it is not the equiva-
lent of the old Lyceum system. The spoken
word for better for worse, has yielded
before the onrush of the printed word,
drowned out in the rustic of one-cent news
papers and five and fifteen cent magazines.
There the treasure is, the ten cents a word
and upward; there the public is always
waiting eagerly for more, and what author,
however handsome or well spoken, can be
expected to turn the stream uphill and in
sist upon speaking his pieces rather than
writing them?
Take it simply as question Of infu-
.ence, Of human beings reached. There is
no possible comparison between, let us say,
Emerson lecturing and Mr.. Bernard Shaw
writing newspaper articles and plays. For
hundreds that can attend a lecture tour
there are millions TO be reached through
the front page Of Sunday newspapers in a
widely syndicated article. No; whether
you are preacher seeking souls to save or
merely thrifty manufacturer of popular
trash, the answer is the same: Write,
don't speak.

Sir: Your editorial What Must Be Under
stood" was most disconcerting, for II fitted
into my own feelings-which I did not wish
to believe in-of amazement and fear over
the apathy in the country toward the Allies
in the present terrible struggle
But great good fortune brought me to
Western Pennsylvania, and here in the two
small boroughs of Sewickley and Edgeworth
together claiming something over 5000 In
habitants-I find so much enthusiasm and
sympathy for the Allies that there Is no mis-
taking the public sentiment here. There are
but there is constant work and help for the
Allies going on, and those Indifferent to the
war and its issues, those whose admiration
for the German military system carries them
beyond reason, those who cannot think
clearly or straight on universal military
training or woman suffrage are, am happy
10 say, in the minority. Already eight ambu-
lances, fully equipped, have been sent TO the
front to France from these villages of Sc
wickley and Edgeworth. Should the war last
longer than we hope eight more will follow.
Thousands of garments have been made and
sent over. French orphans adopted and funds
provided for their bringing up in their own
loved country, large sums Of money have
been contributed, and here at least the war
is looked at and considered with you from
the British and French view of German
purposes and methods

tion of your editorial and pleasure in finding

correct knowledge and understanding of this

annapolis Democrats are in a fine row
among themselves that promises to spill
their beans at the city election, and
nobody seems to know inst who is to

y few days ago Gilbert H. Hendren,

statement of his report on the investi-

Indianapolis has a Democratic city

mayor. Bell is under indictment in the
Federal court on a charge of conspiracy
to commit election frauds and viii be

Why Rheumatism Comes

\ close connection exists between
these two-cold weather and rheuma-

fession in the belief that the presence
in the system of uric acid, OF its salts
in excess, is the real cause OF rheu-
matism. Every one has recognized the
difference in the appearance Of their

often a copiOus sediment OF ''brickdust"

weather. and the kidneys are unable

other reason is that people do not
drink as much water in cold weather
as in summer, which helps to flush the
kidneys. Again, they eat more meat
in cold weather. and some people are

rheumatism after eating meat.
Al All such times persons should
drink copiously Of hot water, say,
