two Irish-American emissaries. has alb
solutely cut off Ireland from the outside
commerce of the world, allows no ships

The history of the condition which
has made Midshipman Settler a patient
in st. Elizabeth's hospital for the in
sane at Washington. D. c.. is in dis
pute. The debated point is whether
the severity of the recent hazing at
Annapolis to which he was subjected
is responsible for the reaction that
has cost the young man his mind. The
claims for and against the conclu-
sion that the shock must be charged
anced, SO far as mere words are con-
cerned Some of Settlers friends as
sert outright that his attempt at sui
eide, reported from Annapolis following
the hazing. was the first effect, limiting
at worse results which appeared in
due course, resulting in his removal
to the government hospital for insane.
The report from the institution is
that the young mans mind is dead
blank. though the physicians hold out
hope for his ultimate complete recov-
cry. If the coincidence between Self
zer's breakdown and his experience as
the victim of the naval academy's ira
ditional hazing programme, prior to
which his physical and mental condi-
ton was fully up to the rigid stand
ard required. it is not difficult to be-
lieve that a tragedy has been set down
to the record of a brutal. senseless
practice with which the authorities
so long seemed unable to deal. There
is no other rational explanation to the
sudden transition from physical and
mental vigor to the darkness of in
sanity so intense that the unfortunate
victim has lost all knowledge of his
own identity, according to hospital

A WONDER YEAR of SCIENCE,

From the New York World.
While the men Of action have been
engaged in changing the old politica,
order of the earth the men of sciencs
have been equally quietly making dis
coveries that may revolutionize az
cepted theories of cosmic space.
Thus an Italian professor claims to
have disproved Newton's theory Of
gravitation and upset the laws of
physics governing the motions of celes-
tial bodies. and an Italian clergyman
is said to have invented a perpetual
calendar" which the astronomer Her
schel regarded as impossible. But
most important of all are the conclu-
sons of the British observers of the
total solar eclipse of last May verify
ing the hypothesis of the Swiss SCENT
list, Albert Elnstein. that light travels
in a curve. and not as has been held, in
straigh line. the findings of the
eclipse expedition demonstrating that
rays of light from stars are bent or
DETECTED in passing the sun.
These are interests far removed from
trench warfare and treaties of peace
But they whet the Imagination. 1t
the period of the great world war to
coincide with a period of great dis
covery in physics and astronomy? Is
a nannus mirabilis of science to supple
ment the dreadful years of destruction?
The present generation of men has seen
wonderful things. and it is not impos-
sible that besides the great command

were not in this work, neither did
the people back home feel that the
hardships imposed on them were nee
essary.
Nevertheless, the Ill dead who
were honored yesterday, as well as
their comrades who had previously
returned from Russia, and every
American soldier who is now there,
deserve to be extolled equally with
their comrades who fought in France
They answered the call of duty

POOR PLACE FOR PATCHES

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
The arrival of the president of the
Oklahoma Patched Clothes league in
New York hardly made one-day SEN
sation in the metropolis. Mr.. Frazier
selected mighty poor place to begin a
propaganda for patches. Instead of
emulation he beEot derision. as anyone
at all conversant with the sartorical
psychology OF Gotham could have fore
told.
If there is one thing that stands out
in New York life more than another it
is what one of it's dramatists has
termed Keeping up with Lizzie" the
cult that has made the ''hallroom boys''
universally recognizable New York
institution. In the provincial west it
is styled putting up front" 1t is a
cardinal in fact almost exclusive, ar
ticle in faith on Broadway to dress bet
ter than you can afford in the hope
than you are, better in the financial,
of course. not moral or mental sense.
Imagine. then. what possible effect
propaganda of patches could have in
such environment. If every New York
er, permanent or transient. owned an
oil region in Oklahoma like Mr.. Fra
zier. they might be ready to consider
his gospel because they would take
care that everyone knew they had the
stuff" But there is neither romance
nor reputation in confirming ones
poverty by patches.
Mr.. Frazier's purpose may have been
admirable. his ethics excellent but he
will never convert New York to
patches. Gotham may turn it's clothes,
may conceal their threadbare condition
under camouflage or the utmost in
genuity, but not even the widest
stretch of Imagination can conceive
Broadway boasting of it's patches. We
might as well expect it to boast of
it's poverty, the one thing that no
Broadwayite will ever admit
