UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT

That was an unfortunate incident
at the Chautauqua last night, in
which the speaker of the evening took
occasion to reprimand a mother be-
cause her child was making a slight
disturbance. Our heart goes out to
the mother who was there for the
purpose of entertainment and recre-
alton, just like the rest Of us were,
and she doubtless could not leave her
child at home.
We have watched the Redpath
Chautauqua for a number of years
and we have always found them to
be free from such incidents. In fact
they have won distinction for being
courteous to all and very considerable
toward everyone. We do not believe
for a moment that the management
will countenance such rudeness as
was displayed last night, and we are
at loss to understand why a speaker
of such polish would so forget him
elf.
The Chautauqua management
should seek out this mother and see
that an apology is made to her. If
this is not done, a few more such in
cldents will put an end to the Chau-
tauqua in Morristown forever, and
the Evening Mail does not want this
to happen. The greater part of the
audience last night was disguised,
and the speaker killed his great ad-
dress by his undergraduates

AN ACID TEST

1t is announced that the acid test is to be applied to
the good faith of Germany by sending the United States
navy hospital ship Comfort out of the Brooklyn navy yard
within few days her way to England without arms
convoy with lights blazing and flags flying. Bearing
the emblem of the Red Cross which should guarantee her
full protection from any power which processes cvza
tion she will sail without even single rearm on board
or any other possible for subectng her to de-
tenton or attack She will carry and complement
of $50 to 200 men.
Will Germany permit this hospital ship to cross unmo
Tested? Against the charges of rang hospitals from the
air and on sea Germany has entered most solemn dena
and in cases where such attacks have occurred she has
pleaded mistakes of identity &c. Upon occasions she
has put forward the charge that American officers have
crossed to the battleeds of France hospital ships
taking advantage of the immunity of such vessels to guard
them against the dangers of the voyage accusation
touching the honor and courage of America soldiers in
sulting as it is untrue.
Now we shall see what Germany will do in the case
of the Comfort There is to be no secrecy concerning
the sailing Any spy in America is welcome to telegraph
the news direct to Berlin so far the Navy Department
is concerned If the German U-boats which have been
operating along the Atlantic remain in these waters
a few days longer they will have target in this Red

Perhaps it is well to make this test and yet there are
many thousands Of persons in the United States who will
be fearful of it. believing there remains vestige of

to respect the Red Cross might merely be proof that

John Foster Frazier

The address of this distinguished
Englishman at the Chautauqua tent
last night was remarkable in several
ways. That he is scholarly, widely
informed, and even brilliant, will not
be denied by any one who heard what
in many respects was an exceedingly
interesting and informing lecture.
In view Of Sir Johns acknowledged
ability it is indeed remarkable that
he should display such assinine stu
pidity as to the fines of things. For
illustration, his conduct in regard to
the crying children was an exhibition
of sheer brutality that one did not
expect to see on the part of cultur-
ed Englishman. The mothers of the
cryin gchildren brought them last
night, not from choice, but because
they had no place to leave them, and
they paid their money and endured
the discomfort of the care of their
children that they might hear the adj
dress of representative of one of
our great Allies. 1t is humiliating to
the manhood of Greeneville and
Greene County that some man did not
arise in the audience and say to Sir
John, that though he were English
Knight, he stood badly in need Of a
kindergarten course in the code of
the American gentleman. Another
respect in which theaddress was re-
markable was, in its apparently call
culated and deliberate effort to an
tagonize his audience in regard to
England our great ally in the present
bitter struggle. We are happy to be-
lieve that Sir John does not fifty or
fairly represent the great English
people, for if he did the American
people might well say they did not
care to engage in any quarrel along
with such insufferable Doors. He does
not truly represent the English ma
ton, but the serious phase of the mat
ter is that many people, who hear him
will not thus discriminate, and the re-
suit of his addresses over this country
will be to discourage the enthusiasm
of the American people in their fight
with England for the liberty of the
world. Sir John warned us last night
against German propagandists. 1t is
certainly true that he is a most malig-
nant sower of seeds of discord be-
tween the American and English peo-
pie that has appeared in Greeneville
during the war. If the Redpath
Chautauqua desires to serve the coun-
try and to promote patriotism it will
certainly remove from its platforms

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Quick Shrinkage in Values Comes With
Maximum Limits.

Chicago. Feb. 23.-Quck shrinkage in
values resulted today on the Board OF Iraae
as soon as new rules establishing MAXI
mum price limit on every commodity were
put into effect.
Oats especially made a sharp descent. NOT
declines were Nc to Is @ 1ac, corn Shc 44sc.
and provisions 35c to $l0O.
In the oats market there was general
rush to sell at the instant the opening gong
struck. Notwithstanding, however that
transactions amounted to big aggregate.
the pressure was of a widely distributed
sort which gave no evidence of affecting
any large individual holders. Rallies that
followed severe initial breaks in prices ap-
peared to be due wholly to profit taking by
shorts Liquidation broadened again in the
last part OF the day.
Corn was easier with oats, but the new
restrictions did not apply directly to corn
any more than has been the case for some
time. The fact that all freshly arrived
corn here was in request helped to prevent
radical weakness.
Sudden wiping out of all chance to make
money on the buying side of provisions
brought about collapse of the market to
the greatest extent allowed for one day.
Virtually all the business done was at the
extreme bottom.

"The Fools Might Have
Fired High," Says German

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
Stockholm, Sept. 15.-A story of
the fraternizing of the German and
Russian troops along the east front
is told by a Swedish journalist. The
usual daily visits were going on, he
said, and all was peaceful, when the
Russians suddenly began firing furi-
ously from one section of their
trenches. A German officer ran over
and called out Indignantly, what do
you mean by shooting with ball cart
'ridges?"
A Russian officer explained apollo
getically, "The colonel has just come
up for inspection. but he'll be going
away in a minute"
When the Associated Press corre-
spondent was at the front a German
major told how one of his officers
was shot through the leg while walk
ing in front of the trenches at time
when, by the custom of that period,
neither side was supposed to fire. He
made indignant representations about
it later to the Russians and was told
that a party of high officers had Wis
tied the trenches and the soldiers had
to shoot
"But even at that" said the major,
"the fools might have fired high"
