the world was his. But he failed, ana

It is, then. to the west that the world

He must not only hold his line. he
must break the line of the enemy. be-
cause the mask is of his face at home
and abroad now. and every German
knows today that the war is war OF
conquest.
In every sense. then, the crisis which
is approaching is the supreme crisis OF
the war. The real decision must be
Germans do attack, the decision will
not be delayed.
Seven days after the attack upon
verdun. the most gigantic blow of the
war, up to that time. had been parried.
Less than five miles from the point
of departure the German rush had been
halted, and to gain another mile took
five months. In Champagne. in 1918, It
was plain in two days that the French
would not break through. The Somme
became a siege in the same time. And
If the German attack becomes a siege
in the first week the kaiser will have

stance OF loss of life In buildings OF this
size. With n reasonable amount of
exits to the street and the roof the few
dozen persons permitted TO work In the
building can get TO safety before a fire
becomes dangerous. Loss OF life from
ME usually occurs at night when folks
are asleep and are thrown into panic
by the sudden realization that their
home Is afre. Small business buildings
are rarely occupied at night. yet nearly
all of the fire safety element found In
tall buildings must be installed in the
smaller building The only exception
Is that fire or smoke towers are not
demanded. Hut FRONT and rear fire
escapes are required and Il lot of other
things also.
II has been found that the transfer OF
jurisdiction from one department to an
other usually works against the owner
as the new department has ideas which
are veDS often contrary 10 those of the
former department. The Fire Depart
ment took over from the Labor Depart
ment the task of inspection. One of the
FIRST things the, Fire Department dis
covered was that fire escapes which had
been ordered and approved by the former
were not sufficient protection, since the
ratings were not high enough. Then
there are many other incidents Of annoy
ance. Owners as a rule are willing to
place their property in condition that
will safeguard life. as they do not care
to be burdened with the Charge that
their carelessness had resulted in loss
OF life. The trouble comes with the too
many orders and what seems to many
ridiculous orders. orders which have no
meaning and seem to be placed against
a property for the specific reason OF an
noying the owner.
Multiplicity and overlapping of orders
covering the construction and upkeep OF
buildings may have a far reaching effect
now that recession in building heights
has set in. with the result that Man
haitian north of the well developed bhsi-
ness zones will be less majestic city.
In such an event the effect on New York

A TIRPITZIAN TROPHY.
The Arrival, by Easy Stages, of Part
of n Celebrated Beard.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUE--Str: The
other day l received a letter from
friend OF mine, an officer OF the A. II T.,
who is now somewhere in the northeast
ern part OF France. When opened the
envelope l was surprised to fnd. along
with the written sheet. what mt first
glance appeared to be a small lock OF
horsehair tied with a narrow ribbon of
German colors. ! Immediately threw
the ribbon away. My friends letter
went on TO explain why the lock was
sent to me and It's history.
He says he believes the hair TO have
come from the discarded whisllers OF
Won Tirpitz. lie get It from an Eng
fish Tommy. who told him that he took
Il from a German Lieutenant he cap
tured near Vigny. Lorraine My friend
paid one shilling and half Il box of
cigarettes to the Tommy for the hair
According 10 tho German Lieutenant he
in turn got the lock from q fraulein who
worked as chambermaid in a small hotel
at odeakirchen. a small place northwest
OF Cologne. The fraulein asserted that
Won TirpitS stopped there in his flight
sor one night, and the next morning
hppcdTcu Cle3tu hHANeo ana unfecOEniE-
able. so that she gave him somebody
else's seat Mt the breakfast table by
mistake. Later on. when tidying I'D the
room occupied by the once was German
Admiral. she found nearly n bushel Of
hair IN the middle OF the floor Re-
meinbAring the shaved face at the table,
she concluded that the hair must have
once been a personal part OF Won T!r-
pitt. and. thrifty woman that she must
be, she tied it up into small locks finding
ready purchasers for them at two pfen-
niss each. This will probably explain
why, later on, Won Tirpitz's whiskers
will never be exhibited. collectively at
least, in a German museum.
OF course this lock OF hair have has
passed through many hands. and for
that reason the chance OF deceit looms
large, But on the other hand suppose
thiE hair did grow Oh or out Of the face
OF Won T!rptz. what then? l have
examined the lock carefully under a
glass, and have come TO the conclusion
that the lock is not only not composed
OF human hair but It is rot hair Mt all.

A VERNAcULAR BIBLE.
1t Would Not Help Those Who Cannot
See the Beauty OF the Book.

To THE EDITOR or TIE SuH-sir.
thank you most sincerely for your edl-
torial article "A Bible In the Vernacu-
lar" OF November II.
In these days OF Journalism and the
cheap style which is so prevalent IL is
keen satisfaction to md so able a
Journal as THE SUN proc,aiming the In
tsllectual integrity of our speech and
The value OF the ancnor OF our Eng
l!sh language.
l entirely agree with you that those
who do not feel n dramatic and poetic
thrill of the stately beauty Of the Bible
in the ancient and noble style OF its
present translation would not feel 1t in
the vernacular.
Moreover. the translation OF the Bible
into the vernacular would be a false
translation. The essence OF a good
| translation 70 20 give the spirit and the
atmosphere OF q book, and there was
no ve-nacuiar in the Bible.
Tho great prophets OF Old did no,
use the jargon and slang OF their day /;
this was their eternal power. One can
not imagine David using the vernacular
OF the market places OF Judea.

ing to suit the writer's and the read
ers OF some OF the books which have
came down to us, 20 give picture OF
what was then used and desired by the
common people. 1t was because lie did
not do this that the common people
heard Him gladly" His words finger,
In the minds OF tho most untutored.
What could be better than to famil-
iariLe the untutored with the stately and
the lofty style7 The familiarity with 1t
necessarily entails an unconscious cul-
ture and refinement,
You quote DR.. Burrell as saying:
What the average non-Christian wants
IS a cool and refreshing drnught OF the
water OF life" No invitation In the
coarse style OF a Roman drinking song
could compel the attention Of the multi
tude as did and do the words of that
great Prophet Jesus III any man thirst,
let him come unto Me and drink"
1t would be much better II the children
were made to study the Bible In our
common schools, e. only as mere In
tellectuai exercise
IT is the familiarity with the lessons
and the collects OF the Church OF Eng
land which gives the advantage in edu-
cation to the lower classes in England.
II seems to me that to break down the
simplicity and the nobility OF the Lam
cuage OF the present Bible would be
very much like the vandalism of break
ing down the wide spaces and lofty
arches OF n great cathedral.
The child wanders through a great
cathedral and unconsciously becomes o.
miiar with the beauty which it cannot
comprehend. 1t is tho duty of democ-
racy to lift up the less fortunate. and
not to descend to their level to make
common meeting ground.
Again I thank you for this most nee
essary word which shines out with a
clear light In the midst of the cheap
slipshod English Of the vernacular,
