descendant of Homer, this immortal
wleder of the white-keyed typewriter
has been easily the best portrayer Of
unportrayablc things our modern society
has yielded. His phrases thrust forth
each spring like trumpet cals-as clear
and blatant and vivid as crocuses.
This spring, alas! what has he to do?
Never before has his material been 80

Well, that is better than nothing. But
can they appear flying over Diana on the

something worth while. We give to our
old and best love, the circus, for what it
is worth. Surely if ever the circus to-
day needs the spirit Of Barnum at his
best. "The flying elephants" Let the
typewriter tick, unrestrained. Nothing
would greatly amaze US in print. And
once we were in-the old charm would
come back, we would forget the adiec-

The Passing of the Classics

has the war beaten a tattoo over the
grave of the classics? Princeton has
abolished Greek as an entrance REQUIRE
ment and will hereafter insist on onlv
single year of Latin in the Bachelor
of Arts course. Yale has decided tn
drop Latin even as an entrance re-
quirement
1t may be charged that these de-
partures are only symptoms of the vast
intellectual unrest and impulse to in
novatlon excited by the war. Mavbe
they are, in part. Yet the classicist bat
tie for Greek was lost many years ago.
Greek has remained in most college cur-
rlcula merely on tolerance. 1t was as
dead as Sanskrit, so far as it's ancient
priority as the basis of "libcral edu-
cation" was concerned.
Now Latin's status as such a base is
being rudely challenged For Latin it
can be said that it is the mother of The
languages of Western Europc--Frepch
Spanish, Italian and our own Norman
lzed English. It's words live in modified
form in our daily speech. What gram
mar English retains it owes to Latin
The latter was also for centuries the
backbone Of English education. Eng
lish schoolboys wrote Latin verses and
English oratory was stuffed with Latin
quotations.
What would the American college up
to 1870 have amounted to without it's
Latin instruction? Yet in this country
if not equally in England---Latin has
remained strangely alien and unassimia-
Bile. 1t was taught generally not as a
real language, but as grammatical
mystery. 1t never got into the brains

New-York tribune., 1919-03-24
The British Policy

Some persons appear to be confused
over Great Britan's willingness to fol-
low President Wilson in his league of
tortuosities. Lloyd George early said a
league would be valueless if it did not
provide for sanction, yet here he is for
sanctlonless one. Two weeks ago the
British delegates at Paris held that of
course 1t was practically impossible to
Tie up the league and the peace, and that
OBVIOUSLY peace should be first attended
TO- Now, on instruction, the delegation
IS Tor the lncongruous marriage.
This changeableness naturally has bred
suspicion. The covenant, as every one
knows, is chiefly of British origin: is
fruit of the labors of Jan SHUTS and
Robert Cecil; so it is intimated that
Great Britain must have matters ar
ranged to her satisfaction. There are
elements in this country who excitedly
call attention to the guarantee which we
are to give to Great Britain of the integ
rity of her domnions.
The more heated see the United
States being reduced to vassalage and
fear Brother Jonathan is to play the
role of John Bulls private policeman.
Are we to foreclose against India and
ireland the hope of independence? Are
we to become underwriters of the existent
British Empire?
The British variability is explcable on
other grounds. Great Britains chief in
terest is in her sea power which means
sef-defence to her; is her Monroe Doc
trlne. Behind the gray flood she wishes
TO have her homeland safe and her lines
of communication unbroken. This essen
tlal she gained early in the negotiations.
president Wilson suddenly discovered
that the sea power item of the Fourteen
Articles represented a "ioke" on him.
Having gained recognition of Britains
sea power British statesmen could we'll
be complaisant and accommodating in
other matters.
And British policy is based on another
deep lying feeling. For some years It has
been evident that Great Britain has been
solicitous to cement The two parts Of

Suddenly British opinion seemed TO
realize it was backing the wrong horse
IN the West as Salisbury said had been
done IN the Near East. British states
men think well Of France, but they long
for dual alliance with this country.
President Wilson came bearing before
him the fasces Of the consul, and no
chances of offending America through
Il difference with him are taken.
So Great Britain plays polonius to
President Wilson's Hamlet. When it il
sad cloud looks like camel. she
agrees, and then next moment agrees
1t looks like weasel. On the other hand.
France is rcstivc, not because unintcr-

Germany which is the analogue of Great
Britain's sea power. If this is conceded
