RECRUITING MEETINGS AND THEIR EFFECT

THAT was an inspriiing mass meeting that was held
in the Garrick Theatre Sunday evening under the
auspices Of the British and Canadian Recruiting Mission
II was call to TO every British subject incidentally
Il also stirred the blood and the warlke fervor Of
many Americans.
While the immediate results accrlng from such
meetings may not be large in American communities
there Is telling how large the subsequent events are
into what British American heart the call to arms
nnds lodgment and leads to enlistment.
Nor is there any accurate way of telling what an in
domitable spirit Of self-ssorhce such meetings arouse
among men and women who while not available for en-
lstment or conscripton remain at home and give
moral financial and material support to the men at the
front

harhor in this country and who fails heed the call

land or for the land which has given him sanctuary

THE JOHNSON PICTURES

THE splendid collection of pictures left
= to the city by the late John G. Johnson
have an added value because they repre-
sent In a peculiarly illuminating way the
successive achievements of the various
classical schools Of painting.
A survey Of the collection would be to
any student as enlightening as a course OF
lectures. As an exposition Of the best that
was achieved by the masters. the johnson
collection has a permanent value aside
from the intrinsic worth and the beauty
Of the canvases themselves. 1t Is the more
evident, therefore, that the collection
should ultimately be housed In the great
museum building which the city will erect
on the fine site overlooking the Parkway
at Spring Garden street. 1t Is presumable
that a school Of art will have a place in
the building. Such school would profit
greatly from the johnson pictures.
The appeal to the Orphans Court by the
municipal authorities for a right to place
the collection in the new museum would
be altogether proper. Mr.. Johnson s
stipulation that a special building should be
erected for his paintings was made, ap
parently. when there was no certainty that
the collection would be properly cared for
and displayed.

SPEAKING OF WONDERS

NOWADAYS. since so much has occurred
to astonish mankind In recent years,
the Seven Wonders OF the World have
ceased to be wonderful. 1t has become the
habit Of some American cities to catalogue
their own monumental achievements in
lists of seven, with the boast that almost
any great American community has as
much to startle a beholder as the whole
round earth could have revealed fifty years
ago.
While official minds are straining at the
task OF listing the Seven Wonders of Phila.
delphia the attendant summary of our
occasional triumphs might serve to guide
the wavering admiration of the curious:
The smiling audacity Of Brother Bill
Ware.
The even more smiling audacity OF

MIR. TAFT AND THE CAME

IF MR.. TAFT should decide to accept the
L regency Of baseball in response to the
prayers OF the Ail.Hopeful Soviets Of
owners and Managers We shall see in this
country the sort Of bloodless revolution
from autocracy which Europe has reasons
to regard as an unattainable ideal.
Ban Johnson federated baseball. The ma.
tional game Is his empire. He is accused
Of a disposition to regard himself as
diviney appointed. He never appeared IN
silver armor and he never babbied OF
secret understandings with Gott. but he
has, nevertheless. manifested liking for
the role Of All Highest.
Ban would not have to fee to the Neither.
lands were Mr.. Taft to accept supreme au.
thority over national and International ball.
He would. indeed. retain virtually all OF his
old prestige What the club owners and
managers and all others interested in the
future of baseball wish now. apparently. is
to create d supreme Office and to find for
It a personality which might adequately
represent what the world usually calls the
VIII Of the People. Thus the present trend
in baseball reflects the trend in word
politics
Baseball Is full of tangles. It seethes
with painful problems that have a legal
an ethical. a technical or a temperamental
basis. It actually needs an authoritative
head qualified and empowered to issue ex.
cathedra judgments and decisions. The
sort of direction and influence which the
owners seek to obtain through Mr.. Taft
might help greatly to revitalize baseball
and to lift It quickly from the slough into
which It fell because OF the war. In a time
when the players and managers and even
the fans are dreaming Of international
games frightened by the recently acquired
enthusiasm Of the French and the British,
| It Is conceivable that personality like
Mr.. Taft's could have an almost magical
| effect upon the hopes and the energies OF
every one concerned, and in the end. help
| wonderfully in bringing about the golden
age Of the game.
On the other hand. the suggestion In

| of an ex.President of the United States
| functioning as the head Of a great national
| diversion may be bit disconcerting al
flrst But the plan as the baseball mer
have formulated it is not without an attrac
| tive side.
Mr.. Taft Is a relatively poor man. He
likes the open air and the men who like
the open air. He has always had a sym
