TWILIGHT OF THE wAGNERs.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Were Frau Cosima Wagner dead at any
 other time than this the world would
 hang more or less breathless on the last
 days of the aged woman who, through
 herself and her more celebrated hus-
 band, was the subject of intending adula- ton and controversy for nearly half a century. Surviving Wagner by 35 years. the characteristics of her father, Liszt,
 made her one of the most notable figures
 in carrying on the Wagner propaganda and in a way in making her husband
 sort of mythical and legendary char
 acter; hero to whom earthly honors
 were paid as if he were demi-god Strong minded and filled with the con- viction that her hero and husband had a mission, and that mission was the con- quest of the world through his music dramas, Frau Wagner naturally delighted those who were of the cult, ruled the
 opera singers with a rod .of iron, as 8
 sort of female tyrant of the wings, and irritated those who, while perfectly will ing to recognize the genius of Wagner, took the Lowellian idea that they didn't
 know everything necessary at Bayreuth. Moreover, had the venerable widow of the Nibelungen dramas passed away in the late nineties before, of course. the rape of ParsifaI by the Americans had
 aroused a desire for bitter reprisals. she | would have been hailed as one whose personal loss was an almost irreparable one to the world of music and art. But l the use of the Wagner operas as Ger 1 man propaganda, the amazing behavior 1 of her son-in-law Ernest Stewart Cham
 berlain, an Englishman, who repudiated his birthright and defended Germany s I right to rape and rapine and piracy as a
 sacred obligation in the interest of kul- | tur, have quieted the eNuberance of art l lovers for Wagner and Wagnerisms un- dilute.
 | Consequently the passing of Frau Wag-
 ner will call forth but perfunctory atten- l ton, and what she really stood for will | be worked out later on when the world
 has time to give a sort of final estimate | as to what Wagner's works really mean
 to the music of his own time and to all time.

\ TRUCE ALSO OF POETS

From. the New York World.
 It is nine years since salon of poets was organized in New York. The pro- ceedings were marked by ecstasies and noble speech. It was a high occasion. Even the studio dedicated to new pur- pose was on 14th floor. Nevertheless. since that ideal gathering of February, 19l0 little enough has been heard of the salon.
 Various affairs have intervened. Two presidential elections have been carried against loud protests from Oyster Bay War has diversified the industry of Poet George Sylvester Viereck Col George B. Mcclellan Harvey, w,io sort of foster- fathered the salon, has diverted himself from free verse to free speech about the administration. There have been no Red Cross activities especially supplying first aid to crippled poesy.
 But now the piping times are returning of peace and its fine frenzies The reviews begin once more to ask, What is poet ry?", Ludwig Lewisohn and Miss Amy Lowell disagree more or less rhythmically in the current Bookman as to the quail ities of tbe new minstrelsy. Most im- portant of all. 10 poets meet after evening service in the anteroom of old St. Marks in-the- Bouwerie and read each to tho others. blessedly his or her own verse. This getting together of brothers and sisters in rhyme. this nsistence on mak ing mutual tke joys of individual in" spirations, 1we are to hail with full hearts, Such a gathering and such a sharing would add brightness and hope to an armed truce. They bring the roundness of perfection to the absolute armsrice. We hope Colonel Harvey has taken notice. Having failed to impress reason on the President why should he not return to the good work of cherishing rhyme in the rhymesters? Why not seek the res- toration of the happy salon of poets? ! The elevator runs still to that 14th floor.

COURTSHIP IN THE AIR.
From the Indianapolis News

From the Indianapolis News.
 Thore was time, and not so many

 invested his hard earned cash in what
 was known as best girl buggy, got

 purchase was chronicled with the ad-

 soon, it seems. it will also pass away.
 In New York newspaper is the ad- vertisement of an aircraft concern. What about the boy who overseas s has been roaming the sky. day after

 | Now that the stress of wartime pro- auction is over. this particular concern is offering flying boats, seaplanes and chummy flyabouts for commercial or pleasure purposes An appropriate Christmas gift for your son or daugh- ter' is the concluding sentence. We have passed from the best girl buggy to the chummy roadster and 1t Is only a step further to the chummy flyabout. The day may be here short ly when the young man who is court

< x * Berlin Celebrates Birth of New Year

W1TH the tango and the f01-tr0t w war-weary Berlin greeted the New Year. Revelers thronged the streets and restaurants, throwing confetti. Away in Holland-but not so far away-Germanys late im- perial master fyetted with cold. The former crown prince celebrated in what, we are told, was mild way for young man of his experience in the worlds foremost razzle-dazzle re- sorts.
 The spectacle in Berlin must have aroused the curiosity of any thought full observer. Except that the war is over and there will be enough food to satisfy their wants some day, Ber- liners had little cause to rejoice One of the worlds proudest capitals has been humbled and her streets are no longer filled with strutting Prussian officers. The symbols of her power and her glory have disappeared and the spectre of hunger is not far dis tant Yet, Berlin behaved much as New York and Paris and London did. And to carry out the comparison, there was a strike of walters seeking to enforce their demands for fixed wages and no tips.
 Perhaps Berlin has more philosophy of the everyday kind than she was given credit for.

Flat Occupants Shiver
 When Janitors Strike

1THAT typically Prussian individ- S ual, the janitor, has won anoth- CT l1ttle in Chicago. With the mer- cur nearly down to zero and Lake Mic ligan's justly famous breezes nip pin Chicagoans fore and aft, 150 janitors, presiding over 5000 apart ments and holding in subjection about 25, 1000 people, went on strike. They demanded 16 per cent wage increase.
 Flat dwellers found themselves without heat on the coldest day the city by the lake has experienced this year. The Chicago Renting Agents association, which has had more than one tilt with the janitors and has fared more or less badly in previous encounters, hastened to offer explana- tions and make amends. It was stat ed that practically all owners of apartment houses had agreed to grant a wage increase, but some of the owners had neglected the formality of signing the agreement.

Snow and Freezing
 Good for the Farm

II N this latitude snowfalls are far N apart, but time was when they were more frequent.
 Here in Birmingham we had fine sleighing in 1899 and again in 1900. Livery stables were well stocked with sleighs and many individuals possessed stylish "runners," but today the sleigh has dropped out of sight. Even the boys sled is scarce in this neck of the woods.
 Yesterdays heavy snow was an un- expected event. Children rejoieed in lit, but grown-ups of the city, especial ly those who had to foot it." were liar from jubilant.
 The farmer welcomes freezing tenn pefature and he welcomes snow. Both Iare good for the land. Snow is an excellent fertilizer and every freeze makes the ground mellow and more tillable when spring comes. Snow is of particular benefit to winter wheat and is worth incalculable dollars to the wheat grower.
 There is promise, according to the goose-bone prophet, of much rough weather in January and February The thermometer will probably regis ter below zero and the sleigh will be in frequent demand.
 If the town folks suffer, they should find satisfaction in the thought that their farmer friends are the gathers | x & x

Prospective Visitors
 During the Year

During the Year A CCORDING to reports King
 A George of Great Britain and President Poincare of France intend to visit the United States during the present year, and King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, it is reasonable to assume, would follow their example. They may be assured of an enthu- siastic welcome.
 From time to time royal person. ages have been guests of our govern ment, but no crowned head of a European power has ever been among them. It is of sentimental interest to recall the fact that King Georges father, when Prince of Wales, visited this country in 1860, and while in Washington was quartered at the White House. Buchanan was Presi- |
 dent and gave reception to his royal 1 lhighness, but as the prince came technically incognito the usual form alities observed on the occasion of state visitors were dispensed with at the request of Queen Victoria, com- municated in an autograph letter from her majesty to the President.
 As is we'll known, the Prince o1 Wales has a string of titles, but he used only his lowest while here Baron of Renfrew, or simply Lord Renfrew.
 In the sovereign's case his kingly title would come With him as matter of course All three of the prospective visitors would be received with official and military honors and elaborate ceremonies.
 The war has resulted in great ad' vance of democracy and of closer kinship among the allies; and if a league of nations is formed an eX- change of visits between Americas chief executive and heads of foreign Igovernments may become frequent Taking this view the project of build. ling a new and larger mansion for the President, discussed in Congress dur ling McKinley's administration, will b; revived.

THE SOLDIER DEAD IN FRANCE.

 By Samuel Minturn Peck. Far far from their homes they died Where they fought and fell shall we let them bide Or bring them back from the other side?
