War Brings Peace to New York.

All is peace In New York's toughest
district since the war. A year or so
ago any person who wandered through
the "Gas House" district, on First ave-
nue. from Seventeenth to Twenty-sec-
Ond street, Mt night usually came away
minus his watch and roll and with a
battered countenance. Many were the
actual and alleged breaches of the
peace laid to the young manhood of
this section of the city. 1t run the
gamut of everything from riot to mur-
der. Today all this is changed. Since
the "Gas House" gang has donned the
khaki there is an air of refinement and
culture In the district. Men neigh
bOrs meet on friendly terms and
clothes-line fights and feuds between
the women are only memories. Gone
is the old order of things material
Fights have given way to celebrations
in honor of the lads from the district
now fighting in France. There are
III of them from this section and
the other night service flag was un-
furled. 1t showed five gold stars.
Two thousand men. women and chill
dren, many of them mothers and fa-
Tiers, lifted their voices in pean of

Various observers testify to the fact

TRUTH STRANGE AS FICTION
Novel BY William De Morgan Has
Counterpart In Real Life-story
Of Enolishman.

A little more than ten years ago an
Englishman, deep In the sixties, won
great renown by going to a hospital.
His illness, though severe, was Ordi-
nary enough. The use he made of his
convalescence distinguished him.
PrOpped up in bed, William De Nor
gan wrote his first novel. When he
was entirely recovered, he wrote an
other, which was destined to carry on
his fame around the reading world.
The book told the story of an engi-
neer returned to London after many
adventures. There mishap in the
tube caused him to lose his memory.
In the dazed state he lived a new life.
BY chance he met mis- former wife, fell
In love with her and married her again.
Strange as was De MOrgan's tale-
critics said only he could make 1t con-
vincing-London itself has duplicated
it from life.
John Arthur Lewis, q returned sol.
dier, was lately hailed into court for
absconding with money he had col
lected for his employers.
His innocence was easily proved. On
the collecting trip he had been struck
by van and injured. Bereft of his
memory he wandered over England,
arrived at his old home, and was in
trOduced by his mother to young
woman, said to be his wife.
He refused to accept his past until
one night the German airmen dropped
bombs, and the shock of the explosion
restored his memory. Then all came
back, even the uncOmpleted days
work Of last August.
History here modifies the ancient oh.
servation as to truth and fiction. Truth
is not stranger than good writing.
Rather the artist senses probably
ahead of the facts and later reality
cOrrobOrates him. Who knows not at
least one Enoch Arden? Tennyson
guessed them all.

TWO Ex-PREMlERs IN CABINET
Situation In British Politics That Has
Never Before Occurred 10 Among
the Possibilities.

Herbert III. AsQufth, former premier,
Is often mentioned as possible addi.
tion to the present cabinet. The Man
happens Lloyd George will have two
former prime ministers among his sub.
Ordinates. There Is no former instance
of this state of things in modern his
tory, and 1t is n long time now since an
English government contained In
secondary place even one former pre-
mier.
The classical case occurred about the
middle Of last century, and is furnish
ed by the game of see-saw which was
played by Lord John Russell and Lord
Palmerston. In the government of
1862 Lord John Russell was prime
minister and Lord Palmerston foreign
secretary, and in the government of
1S59-65 their two positions were eX-
actly reversed.
1t was Lord John Russell's excep-
tional fate to be prime minister from
the age Of fifty-four till that of sixty
to be in and out of subordinate office,
under Lord Aberdeen and then under
Lord Palmerston, from sixty to seven
ty-three and at that age to be prime
minister again.
If Lloyd George gets Mr.. Asquith as
well us Mr.. Balfour he will have all the
living former premiers except one, the
exception being Lord Rosebery, whose
period of office-15 months-was so
short as to compare with the mete-
oric premiership of the age of Cam
ming.
