Something Easy

The peace conference has decided that
Austria shall do without navy. The
decision was arrived at without contro-
versy. Austria has now joined those
high and dry communities on the order
of Switzerland and Bohemia, which have
seacoast only in the imagination of
careless geographers like Shakespeare
austria needs neither warships nor sea-
gong merchantmen. The Danube is her
only all-water outlet Trieste is her
natural port, and that has become 1tal-
ian. The fleet which the Dual Monarchy
maintained was luxury both in peace
and war. The new Austria is well rid
OF such a burden. The conference has.
therefore, satisfied everybody For the
first time it stumbled on something
really easy.

with the Feet OnIv"

an inspiring battle-cry Of the Uplift
comes from Philadelphia. Color is given
To- life in that staid city by open-air
dancing. 1t is ono Of the chief summer
diversions The plaza in front Of that
temple Of ugliness, the City Hall, ia
nfghtly centre Of festivity. But Pbila-
deiphia insists that all shall be done
decently and in order. That is why the
police have issued ukase to the effect
that Philadelphians must dance with
their feet only"
inns might seem supcrf'uous warn
ing. How else could they be expected to
daHcey Certainly not with their hands.
But there is more In it than meets the
casual eye. The police, acting ay CEN
seyeg 7aorpou, intend to bar the "shimrnyv
and other dances which they consider
New-York tribune., 1919-05-11

demoralizing. The question is whether
they will know the "shimmy' when they
see it. Are they expert enough to dis
tinguish among all the odd varieties of
dances which modern ingenuity has de-
vised? And may not the offensiveness of
any dance lie largely in the eye of the
spectator? 1t is easy to surmise i'm
propriety where none exists. There was
time when any round dance was
frowned upon by many people. Byron's
attack upon the waltz found sympathy.
Yet he was not generally regarded as
stern moralist. 1t has been ungenerously
suggested that his attitude arose from
the fact that he couldn't dance But
the ascription of motive does not blunt
the force of just criticism.
1t is hard to believe that the polka, the
galop and the schottische were ever re-
spirit of revelry. No one dances them
now; how "slow" they would seem to the
devotees of the foxtrot and it's success
ors! Even the two-step, criticised in
Its day as something less than beautiful,
Is tame in comparison. Is not the waltz,
after all, the best embodiment of the
poetry of motion? There is not much
poetry about the "shimmy" and it's ex-
aggerated contemporaries.
1t is not with beatty, but with morals,
presumably, that the Philadelphia police
are concerned. They will have to dis
criminate with care, however, between
what is moral and what is not The feet
only may be guilty of undesirable con-
tortions. Nor are the police often good
judges of ethical matters. They can dis
pense at best but rough justice. Prob
ably the dancers will be able to dance al
most anything, provided they do it dis
creetly. AS the old topical song put the
case, cit depends on the way it's DONE"
New-York tribune., 1919-05-11
More Logomachy

AS supplement to the league of ma
tions covenant the President, in an Off
cial statement, announced he had agreed
to promote an engagement under which
Great Britain and the United States
would support France if attacked by
Germany.
To the average person this seemed as
If somewhere it was thought the cove
nant did not provide adequate protection,
and that the engagement was to supply
the deficiency. And nothing was said
about approval of the special engage
ment by the executive committee of the
league
Now comes supplement to the sup
plement; to the effect that the engage
ment will not be operative unless ap-
proved by the executive council of the
league, or that it would merely hasten
action to which we would be bound by
the covenant of the league of nations"
1t Is not easy to follow the plays in
the game of logomachy. Messrs. Taft
and Lowell have been going up and down
asserting that the covenant did not bind
us to anything. Mr.. Taft, standing on
the same platform with the President
declared there was no impairment of the
exclusive war-making power of Congress
by the covenant The President did not
contradict the statement, nor has the
subsequent declaration of Mr.. Taft, that
we are not to be even morally bound to
act, been repudiated.
But the Presidents new statement i'm
plies that even without special engage
ment the covenant will bind us to pro-
tect France, and bind us, it is to be in
ferred, to protect every other nation.
Which is the orthodox doctrine? If this
nation is bound" by the covenant, what
has been said by Messrs. Borah, Reed
and Poindexter seems justified.
Another matter seems pertinent. Last
September, in the second supplement to
the Fourteen Points, the President sad
"3.-There can be no leagues, or all
ances, or special covenants or understand
lngs within the general and common fam
lily of the league of nations"
Seemingly this utterance was in the
Presidents mind when he sent yester-
days cabegram. The distinction, how
ever, does not seem of practical conse-
quence. The three nations which as in
dependent powers propose to make the
engagement are the same three nations
which, it may be assumed, will control
the league. What is of consequence is
the implication that the covenant will
olnd us to do what the engagement pro-
poses, even though the engagement is not
entered into.

Music in Anne rica

Persons now living recall the time when
there was comparatively little appreciation
in this country of music of artistic merit:
when the symphony orchestra was unknown
and when the few vrtuosos that appeared at
infrequent intervals came from Europe
1t is very different now. Native born ar
lists are plentiful and nearly every city of
any pretenton to culture supports local
orchestra capable of performing master
works Grand opera and concerts attract
large audiences and American composers are
coming steadily to the front

The Somnolent Sow
fFrom The Manchester .unrdin,

fFront Ihe Manchester IuQrdinul
The distinguished Danish vegetarian DR..
NJ. Hlndhede has made the interesting dis
covery that Germany owes her downfall to
the pig. In 1914 she had over 25. 600 oOo
pigs to feed. For the first five months Of
the war slaughtering was discouraged. at
the cost Of enormous reserves of food
stuffs Early in 1915 this policy was re-
versed, and by April the number of nips
had been reduced by 35 per cent. Then a
reaction in favor of pigs set in. and their
numbers were kept at about 70 per cent Of
the pre-war figure. Not till late in 1917
and early in 1918 was the fatality of this
mistake realized, and then it was too late
Or. Hindhede argues that Denmark avojdea
starvation by killing her pigs early and
that If Germany had adopted the same
course her collapse by starvation and
Spartacism would have been avoided. His
theory conjures up the picture Of somno-
