Emotional Tightwads

The great peace turmoil Of last Mon
day night seemed like rare lark to
most of those who were in it. But these
giddy souls were evidently mistaken. 1t
was nothing at all so pleasant or re-
spectacle. It was, in fact, disgraceful
saturnaia, whatever exactly that may
be. This we know on the word of sun
dry solemn critics who have expressed
their scorn in dignified print.
Who arc these pompous grouches who
always come forward when anybody un-
bends and cuts caper? It is interest
ing to speculate, and there are several
theories. One view has it that they are
always elderly gentlemen in limousines
without teeth enough to eat or energy
enough to play. That is simple solu-
tion. But it unfortunately fails to fol-
low the facts. Crouches and prigs are
born, not made The cold eye Of disap-
proval is Matched with the chick, and
years while they may intensity or
weaken cannot create.
Looking just at the facts and not seek
ing causes there is much to be said for
the observation that conventionality is
essentially bourgeois trait. The peo-
pie can always cut loose. They always
do. They have no dignity to lose, no
reputation to tarnisl,. They will dance
in the street and cheer when they are
excited and generally carry on as the
spirit moves.
We are inclined to think that aristo-
Gratis, real ones, that is, have the same
willingness to play. Not bourgeois aris-
tocrats, Of course, Of which our Ameri-
can top-layers are so largely constructed.
But aristocrats falling within Mr..
Wells's definition. These outstanding
folk of individuality and parts and con-
iidence born of justitiable egotism are
so sure Of themselves that they don't
have to be eternally minding the rules
They can afford to be clowns when they
feel clownish and raise a riot when riot
is the word.
Luckily we haven't much Of the true
bourgeois spirit in America. Dignity
and conventionality have a poor market
in this jesting, carefree land. Perhaps
we should be a nobler breed if our man
ners were more solemn and we spent
more time restraining our emotions. But
then, again, we mightnt. Hoarding any
thing, from pennies up to emotions.

Poland's Resurrection

Two items in yesterdays news signal
ize one of the most extraordinary come
backs" in history.
One dispatch-from Berne. Switzer-
land-said: Count Lerchenfeld- -Moefer-
ing, the German Civil Administrator.
has fled to the headquarters of Brigadier
General Joseph Pilsudski of the Polish
Legion for protection
The other-from Copenhagen-read
as follows: "Polish troops, according to
dispatch from Berlin, have entered Up
per Silesia, Prussia"
Here is the palpable evidence of the
resurrection of Poland That chivalrous.
impractical, unfortunate kingdom, once
the most powerful in Central Europe,
suffered three partitions and one supple
mentary partition. Her great inheritance
was divided up among strangers Her
people were subjected for more than a
century to indignty and persecution. AS
DR.. Wilhelm Miihlon said, three emper-
ors sat on the coffin Of Polish liberty.
They purposed sitting there forever.
But suddenly those three guardians of
the Polish sarcophagus vanished off the
face of the earth. There is no longer a
Car in Petrograd Kaiser in Berlin or
Kaiser in Vienna. The doors of the
Polish sepulchre have been opened.
Poland is alive again. Her armies are on
Prussian soil. The German oppressor in
Warsaw cries "Kamerad" and scurries
for safety to Polish military headouar
terS.
The Germans have been accustomed to
sentimentalize over the tragedy of Po-
lands apparent extinction. In the early
days of the war Kurt Kuchler, the well
known German novelist and dramatist
wrote short story entitled "The
Funeral Pyre"-perhaps the best short
story produced in Germany in the war
period. 1t dealt with the disordered
fancy Of an aged Polish nobleman, whose
only son was killed fighting in the Ger
man-Austrian Polish Legion against the
Russians. The old man brought the BODY
back to the family castle near LubIin
and turned the castle itself into funeral
pyre. He despaired, because he saw no
other fate for Poland than merely to be
turned over from one foreign oppressor
to another. All the aspirations Of Poland

Your Last Chance

To-day, tomorrow and Monday are the
last three days of the United War Work
drive. You must give then if you give
at all. 1t may be your last and best
chance to express little Of the graft
tude and appreciation you feel toward
the men who bore the brunt of the war.
Already reports Of a slackening of
morale among our soldiers are arriving.
That is human nature. Our men would
be saints and prigs if the sudden advent
Of peace did not thus affect them. The
great strain is over, as we all feel. For
the soldier the drop is appalling, de-
moralizing. The need for the Y. M.
G. a. and the other six activities Of the
united fund WAS urgent in time Of war.
1T is even greater to-day. Beyond ques-
tion cur men in khaki arc passing through
an exceedingly critical stage. They need
and must have every force that makes
for cheerful, homelike, American living.
Your dollars given now will do more
good than ever before. Dig into your
pocket. To-day is the day.
