MEMeER or THE ASSOCIATED PREsa
Calling Our Bluff

For many years we have boosted of our inven-
tine genius and have advertised the excellence of
our mechanical ability. We have asked the world
to admire our skyscrapers. our long bridges and
tunnels, our marvellous labor-saving devices. We
have pointed to the reclamation and irrigation
work of the West and asked the world to dupli-
cate the Panama Canal
Today we are being put to the test. We must
prove anew and with conclusive evidence that our
speeches have not been idle boasts and vainglori-
ols braggadocia
Europe has called oar bluff.
England France, Italy, Russia and Belgium
are asking US to undertake a task too big for
them to handle. Fhe inventive genius, the adj
ministrative ability, the executive finesse, the in
dustrial capability of these countries have grap-
pied manfully with the job, but the task remains
undone
Now America, youngest and most powerful of
the nations, has been called to service.
The specifications for the job of defeating
Germanys war machine have been placed in our
hands. What are we going to do about it? How
will American genius assert itself?
Every patriot answers that we will bring the
best thought and execution of our nation to the
task. The spirit that hewed nation out of a
bowling wilderness, that bridged streams, built
trans-contnental railroads invented flying ma
chine, and devised thousands of mechanical de-
vises will not quail before Europes challenge
Our whole nation, men, women and children,
have consecrated themselves to the task of win
ming this war, cost what it may, and last as long
as it may.

COLOR AND SOUND

Now that the Cincinnati Symphony
orchestra has Just come and gone, and
memory with listening ear still hears
The flutes sweet vail, heavenly
music floats,
And ike bright dew-drops fall the
oboe's notes"
there also comes in accordance with
all this, the thought of that strange
and mysterious analogy between the
crs, and to which Plutareh makes al
ors, and to which Fiu;arch makese al
fusion when he speaks of the kindred
harmony in colors and sounds. Thorn
as Moore in his lode on the Genius
of Harmony has given expression to
these ideas.
In a biographical sketch of Mrs. H
II. A. Beach, it is related that when
this famous composer was but two
years old, she associated certain
pieces of music that her mother play
ed. with certain coiors. by designating
them as the blue, pink. or purple mus
lie. It.Was at first supposed that this
manifestation of musical feeling was
connected with the color of the out
side paper with which musical publi-
cations were covered. but it was aft
erwards discovered that this associa-
ton of color and tone had no CORE
spondence whatever. with colored
wrappers, but pertained purely to the
analogy between sound and color.
This association OF keys and colors is
shared by many other composers, al
though their color-schemes are by no
means unanimous. The following Is
the list of kindred harmony as ex-
pressed by Mrs. Beach. and which 10

An appeal to neutrals, Mechlin, Nov. Z, 1916.
Bands of soldiers break into their peaceful
homes snatch youth from their parents, the hus-
band from his wife, the father from his children,
guard with fixed bayonets the doors through
which wives and mothers attempt to pass to bid
a last farewell to those who are leaving them;
marshal their captives in groups of forty or fifty
and hoist them forcbly into open trucks; the en-
CINE stands ready under full steam; as soon as
the train is full superior officer gives the signal
for departure. Here we have another thousand
Belgians reduced to slavery; condemned without
previous trial to the severest penalty in the penal
code save the death penalty-deportation They
know not where they are going, nor for how long.
.All they know is that their work will benefit no
one but their enemies"

Cardinal MERCER on Belgian Deportations

It is a far cry from the deportations of Bel
gian men and women last year to present issues,
but the war utterances of Cardinal MERCER, arch
bishop of Malines, printed under the title, THE
Voice of Belgium give first hand evidence of
the outrages perpetrated by the German conquer
ors.
It may be said in passing that the little vol
ume is brimful of Incidents that harassed the
pastoral work of the archbishop and portrays the
