est the French people in their style
of dancing. Then suddenly they
caught on and were the sensation of
the capital. They returned to New
York as the wave of dancing popu-
larity neared its crest and were car
ried along with it.
For lessons, for exhibitions, for
moving picture performances, they
got almost any figure they demanded.
They became owners of the Castle
House across the street from the
Ritz Carbon; the Castles by-theSea,
at Long Branch; the Castles-in-the-Air
in A street. And, at the same time,
they were generally engaged at high
salaries in one musical piece OF
another. Their photographs were
everywhere.
The Castles probably made million
dollars out of their dancing, although
they lived on a very lavish scale
There was no necessity, except the
urge of patriotism, for Vernon to give

self always inwardly cringing to the
autocrats whom he trusts to defend
him from the world.
1t is the problem of this war, first
to break the military autocracy in
Germany, and then to set free the
minds of the people. Any attempt
to punish tmem for their cruelties will
drive them, hereafter, with a new
timidity, into the arms of some new
despotisnl. They must be treasured
of their safety in the world. They
must be persuaded to dare the re-
sponsibilities of freedom. These peo-
pie, who have never had a revolution
in the whole course of their history,
must first be liberated and forgiven,
and then protected in their freedom
and encouraged to feel self-respect.
1t is a pathetic sort of problem.
1t is a problem that can not be solv-
ed in terms of hatred and revenge.
1t is peculiarly the problem of the
American people, who have nothing
to gain from the defeat of Germany
but the safety Of democracy in world
politics, and who can not establish
that safety till Germany is itself a
true democracy, unservile and reas-
sured.
