A Permanent Chorus

A theatrical manager in New York plans
to build a musical comedy playhouse IN
which he purposes to install permanent
chorus" At first glance this may seem
a pretty and chivalrous concept. 10 the
familiar fondness for "old friends, old
times, old manners, old books, old VINE"
it impulsively adds cold show girls" The
scheme reaffirms belief that there is some
thing Of the eternal Lillian Russell IN
every fair face and form.
And yet second and sober thought gives
pause. Mae and Gypsy and the rest may
properly resent an invitation to JOIN
permanent chorus. Ambition to speak fur
Their and more fully than ooh, girls, here
comes the king" gnaws secretly at the
heart of many a proud beauty. Nor does
the slur of a permanent chorus end with
the slight which it puts upon the dramatic
ability of its recruits.
The insult is deeper. The votary who
dedicates herself to this organization ac-
cepts the implication that she is incapable
of inspiring cotton king, beef baron or
MARQUIS of munitions with that enthusl-
asm which dsrupts choruses and makes
first page stories. She may firt with the
freshmen of 1917 and of 1857, but never
know the blessed peace of her own fireside
and limousine. Art is broad and long and
deep; but this is too much. Mae

The Call

To arms, my countrymen, TO arms.
How shall your councils now avail?
Gods tocsins wake the loud alarms;
Let not the towards dream prevail.
From lands whence Freedoms self sas fed
They call you from your homes of ease,
And the deep pleading OF the dead
Assais you from the tragic seas.
Awake, my countrymen, awake!
Need not the voice that bids you pause
Rouse you, for truth and honor's sake,
For the long ages holiest cause.
The soul within you bids you come;
Your hazard death itself shall bless,
wake the great music OF the drum,
Unshoathc the Sword OF righteousness!

Akhmef iii and the Zaporogians

THE Zaporogian Cossacks held a famous iron
tier fort the Seech. at the falls OF the Dnepel
River. against the Turks and Tartars. ihelr nam'
sianises that they were "backfsllsmen"-like oui
ls,, .haclvyoodsmen." The letter written by thu
Cossacks to the Sultan is in museum IN Russia
In the year 1900, in that Gods year
A letter came from Akhmet
To our Zaporoge
81 Sultan. the son of Mohsmmed,
The grandson Of the one God,
The brother of the Crescent
And even of the sun;
Knight strong and great
King Of Kings,
Champion of all the world,
And Tar of Tzars:
Tar of Constantinople,
Tar of Macedonia,
Greece. Serbia, Moldavia;
Tar of Babylon, Podolia and Halych,
And glorious Krimea:
Tar of Egypt, Arabia, Jerusalem,
The Keeper of the Tomb in Jerusalem
And of your God;
| am the Sorrow and the Help
OF all Christian men
] say to ye, Cossacks,
Surrender!
Or expect no good from me-"
In the same year the Zaporogians
Read the Letter
And said to their foe, the Sultan:
"Thou. Sultan, art the DEVILS son,
The Grandson of Haspid himself,
And thou, horned chortI
"Thou art but a wretched inn-keeper
In ConstantinOple;
A Macedonian brewer,
Greek and Moldavian swine,
And Babylonian blacksmith;
"Thou oppressor of Serbia and Podoiia,
Krmean parrot, Egyptian swine-herd;
Owl of Jerusalem!
No help Of Christians art thou, but 1901;
No protector of our God.
Nor worthy TO hold our Zaporog1e.
ave shall fight thee
BY land and sea!
We do not fear thee
Thou son of dog!
Such is our answer.
ave know not what year this may be,
Because we have no calendars in our Scech-
Our 'Meassiatz" is now in the heaven;
This day is the same day as with you
Then. Turks after these words
Try to take .us!"

had a community of interests with the Teutons. The bureaucracy repre- sents the off1ce-ho.ders and officials appointed by the Throne who have for generations, and one might almost say for centuries, preyed upon the resources of the Russian Empire.
 There has been during and before the war cooperation between these two parties, the enduring prestige of which depended on German victory and Russian defeat. It Is clear that if Germany had been overwhelmingly defeated. both the pro German and the bureaucrats would have lost the hold they had on the Russian Elm pire.
 Tt is probably true that none of these dark forces had any great ap- prehension at the beginning of the war that Germany could lose; for. be- ing well aware of Russia's unprepar- edness. it seemed incredible that she could triumph over her enemy effic- lent. and ready for the war"

GERMAN INTRIGUE IN RUSSIA.
Country Has Been Laboring Under
 Unsurmountabie Handicaps.
Especial to The Bulletin.)

Washington, D. C., July How German intrigue began and grew in Russia is strikingly set forth in a bull letin issued by the National Geogra- = phic Society, based on a communica- tio11 to the society from Stanley Wash burn, the war correspondent who is at the present time connected with the American commission to Russia, head ed by Elihu Root. The bulletin says:
 ITO understand the almost ursur- mountable handicaps under which the Russians have been iaboring it is nec- essary to appreciate the nature and importance of the German influence in Russia, which for the last few de- cades has become such a vital menace to the independence of the Russian people.
 After the F'ranco-Prussian War when the new economic and industrial era began to develop in the Teuton Empire, it was but natural that the Germans should look to Russia for

their most important market. Al first this outlet for their trade was 8 luxury to their economic development but as, to a greater and greater ex- this vast territory it became more and mre of an economic necessity that they retain and increase their grip on Russia.
 The northern Baltic provinces of Russia are very largely populated by persons of German blood who have for many generations been Russian subjects. It is natural that these peo- pie, in a measure, should feel and un- derstand German inspirations and aid and abet in their plans where possi- ble.
 By this I do not mean to assert that all Baltic Russians are pro-Ger- man, for some of the ablest and most loyal men and devoted troops have come from this part of Russia; but 1t is true that many of the worst in- fuences have also been of Baltic pro vince extraction. For ten years be- fore the war we can trace the Ger man influence through every specious a ctiyity to gain ascendency in the in ternal policies of the Russia Govern ment.
 There is little reason to doubt that the German influence has aimed in every way to check the growth of liberalism in Russia. There are many who believe that but for the German influence there would have come the a bolitio nof vodka five years before the war The elimina ton of this curse would have meant education, and with education inevitably must have come the demand for more Hber- al government an da ministry respon- sible to the Duma.
 Alone the Germans could not have hoped to exert this influence; but we ind in Russia another group, com monly known as bureaucracy, who
