A Plea for Nelsonisn

1t IS wonderful how quickly the his
torlans contrive to shape facts to the i'm
mediate needs Of the DAY A few of them
are intent Tor the moment on proving that
the war at sea has been a lamentable fail
ure, and in looking back they agree that il
was the Battle of Jutland that opened the
eyes Of civilians and brought about the re-
forms that are shortly to change the whole
lace OF affairs and achieve such wonders
as were never seen in any former war.
most original and instructive review
OF events comes from a Paris correspond
ent Of "rhe New York Times" AS usual
he begins with Jutland "Public opinion" :"
he says, "stung to the core, enforced it's
demand for an immediate change. Jellicoe
came to the Admiralty but con-
servatism still prevailed, the same Safety
first policy, the ncgation of Nelsonism.
which is the breath of the navy" The
immediate change" it may be remarked
occurred exactly six months after the bat
tie. 1t is worth bearing this point in mind.
IN order that people may be prepared to
wait while for the immediate restoration
Of "Nesonism'
There are some other points in this stir
ring appeal for "Nelsonism" that require
further consideration. The historian, de-
ploring the state of the British navy before
the civilian critics took it in hand, lets out
q great secret:
In the greatest of all wars the navy has
prevented German victory undoubtedly.
but it has not crushed Germany. Excuse
and explain it as you will, the fact remains
that the German navy is stronger to-day
relatively to the English than at the outset.
This is most interesting. 1t is truth
50 little known that there have been pro-
tests in England against spending more
money on big ships and some grumbling at
the recent supplementary estimate for
more men. II is very doubtful whether
there is the slightest justice in these COM
plants, but they show at least how little
any one suspects the extraordinary growth
of the German fleet. 1t is a great pity that
the writer has not made known the source
OF his valuable information.
AS to the business Of "Nelsonism," it is
indeed great pity that the navy 'has not
crushed Germany" 1t must be humiliat
ing for Britons to look back to the time of
their great -grandfathers and to reflect that
what the heroes of those days could do in
twenty years or so has not been achieved

Why Wait =?

The best way to fight sediton and paci-
fsm is to fight them in the open That be-
ing the case, it is hard to understand the
reluctance of the Governor of Wisconsin to
call special election for the purpose of
filling the seat in the United States Senate
made vacant by the death of Paul Hustng.
Mr. HustIng, an ardent patriot, free from
any taiNt of "neutraity" or ro-German-
ism, died last October. Since then the sole
representative of Wisconsin in the Senate
has been Robert NJ. La Toilette.
The Seventeenth Amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution, which provided for the
direct election of Senators, also provided
1or the filling Of vacancies occurring
through death, resignation or removal. 1t
directed the Executive to issue writs of
election to fill such vacancies. But it also
permitted the Legislature of any state to
empower the Executive thereof to make a
temporary appointment until an election
should be held.
Some of the states have given their Gov
ernors that power But Wisconsin has not.
1t was the duty Of the Governor of Wiscon-
sin to call a special election to fill Mr..
Husting's place. He cvaded that d,.ty.
After a delay of three months he has
called the State Legislature in special sos
sion with the intention Of asking it to give
him the power Of temporary appointment,
thus postponing an election by the people
until next fall-more than wear after
Mr.. Husting's death.
Does Governor Philip dstrust the
voters Of Wisconsin? Does he think that
they will fail to return to the Senate as
true an American as Mr.. Husting was?
Or IS he merely figuring on personal and
party advantage in postponing an election?
There is great deal Of bitter complaint in
Wisconsin that the Governor is manuu-
wing for position. The people of the state
do not believe that he is safer custodian
OF the states honor and loyalty than thev
themselves are. Why should he be? If the
people want another La Toilette in the
Senate they will have their way eventual |
~. BY delaying an election the Governor
in effect, intimates to the world that thew
desire to replace Husting with some under
study Of La Follette
1t would be better to have the issue de-
cided at once. To dodge it is to becloud
the states loyalty. Good Americans do
not believe in running away from a test of
Wisconsin ought to 90 or
record, whatever the result is; and we Sc.
no reason to be alarmed about the result

An1iiens
(Twenty-four Hours)

(From The English Rcvew)
Ghosts laughing in the street
The spirit being dead,
And on entrnnccd feet
Desire with red
Warm lips
In Loves spc!l'd rament trips.
And many perfumes float
From her quick hair;
And all the white
Allure of wrist and throat
Arc trebly fair,
And thrice
Fair are her eyes
Whcrethrough Another looks.
Yet shall Remembrance make,
For that Ones sake,
thousand mocking memories OF each kiss
And out of this
Bought rapture of an hour
Fashion probe Of fire
To scar the hooks
And crannics of the mind;
And on Desire,
Dying and cold and blind,
Cast the solid petals of an April flower.
And yet
If to forget
Were all; if we might so
Over each ycstcrnight
The dust of oblivion throw,
The cup that bears forgctfulncss within
Should drown and rase
Each evenings flaming sim
But fair and white
Our sons, who are not vet
Heirs of our days,
With impatient fingers fret
And tear at the walls
OF these towcr'd sophistrcs.
But wherefore may we heed,
We who dedicate
TO death; and soon or late,
Flung by this clamorous breeze
Crude and untimcly falls
Green fruit and unborn Seed
But you, child, who
Hold fast my few white years,
And gather'd up
Into one golden cup
Laughter and flowers and fairy lore and song;
And anew
Made of familiar things a Wonderland,
And on that ship that steers
Only by orbed moons
of swift bluc-nighted Junes
Anchor'd beside the strand
OF my lost Fortunate Isles:
Naught of this wrong
Touchcth our mutual DAYS,
Nor sways
Another sceptrc than your laughing wilcs.

We hope that President Wilson will well

properly supported, do his utmost to meet

different topics Of general interest to teach

During the meeting a long list of Germsa

found the following: German FAIRY Tales
"Aschen5rodel" l"Cinderella') and "Rotkaps

books, paraded as German, were written BY
Charles perrault French poet and teacher
OF the Duke of Burgundy, son Of Louis XIV.
Perrault was born in Paris in 1928 and dsa

and the series of Mother Goose" verses

Though chill it be and coldly grey
The aspect Of these blood drcnched ven,
Yet shall return the minstrels day
With solacc for our ccasclcss tears,
Since every song the poet sings
Is but the tears of things!
All they who fought and are no more
Among us. the immortal dead,
Shall as Of old, again restore
The singers whom their spirits led,
For all true poets draw their breath
From Life no more than Death.
BE sure there is sunlit sea
Beyond the sullen waves we scan!
Who could have hoped for Sicily,
The charmed muse Theocritan,
But one who knew that after pain
The singer sings again?
Warriors, ,,ere Homer lived and died.
Raised by their fires a thousand SONGS,

Are they to whom the gift belongs
The gift made perfect at the last
