A Happy Traveller

hugh w dlpOlS is Inc 1lTSC VlSlClnS
author who succeeded in having a
good time in this country and is not
ashamed to admit it. His summary
of his impressions of America is re-
freshingly frank and welcome after
a century of British travellers who
felt constrained to analyze and dis
sect and patronize the strange
creatures who inhabit "the States"
Even the most modern and least
ostentatious of them, when they be-
gin to flower with anecdotes in the
magazines, yield to the temptation
to find many things strange or terri
flying or quaint or absurd in Ameri-
can ways. Seldom indeed have we
entertained visitor who took us so
calmly as does Mr.. Walpole.
Only genuine friend, we feel
sure, would dare sum us up, as he
does, in half-dozen lines:
when / say l love America it
will be because of doctor in Indian
apolis, two ladies in Chicago, an
oyster stew in San Francisco,
cocktail in Baltimore and the Ari-
iona Canyon"
This guileless climax is the result
of the Walpole philosophy of travel,
which permits man to go about
having good time in strange
country without fretting himself
over its politics or ethnology, or even
the manners of it's womenfolk.
good and fellow feeling, those
are the things that we want, wher-
ever we may be-" he says, in CYAN
ity Fair" "People may say that
money is third necessity, but, if it
be so, only because the gaining of il
leads to the possession of the other
two. The duty of traveller, then,
is threefold-to see beauty in
Nature, to discover food that is COM
Portable to the belly, and to discover
men of like mind to himself. The
country which for traveller provided
him most happily with these things
is the country that he will love-"
If more Englishmen would come
to this country to enjoy food and
friends-to recall as worth while
General Pershing kissing little
boy in New Orleans, myself catch
ing a red snapper below Miami, and
a very clever colored boxer in Jack
sonville" eff Englishmen would stop
trying to analyze the workings of
our Senate or baseball as a nation
al institution, we wonder how
long it would be before Americans
learn to stop staggering at crumpets
and cricket. How pleasant it would
be to travel in England without get
ting nervous prostration over the

His admitted activities in behalf of the

They manage these things better
abroad, even in Germany. There have
been food riots in many German cities,
and prices have fallen in consequence,
while the dealers who keep on profit
eering are boycotted.
Riots, though for worthy purpose,
are not to be condoned. Smashing win
dows and looting goods is poor way
of showing resentment. But the boy
cott is weapon which American
housewives might fairly use. The es-
sential basis of profiteering is the will
lingness of the public to be stung.

Mild Insanity
From The Los Angeles Tin

(Frorn The Los Angeles Tines)
Although the Nonpartisan League
bitterly opposed the measure, the bill
cutlawing the red flag appears to have
been carried in the North Dakota ref
erendum. Apparently North Dakota
wishes to stay in the Union, and yet
half the time she behaves as if she
would rather not. That's what the
Nonpartisan League does to people
who might just as easily be sensible
all the time.

Who Will Take a Wounded
Soldier Down the Bav}

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: At Fox Hills Hospital, Staten
Island, there are six hundred soldiers
recovering from wounds received dur
ing the late war. Many of these men
would enjoy day at sea and be great
ly benefited by it.
Cannot some of the public or pri-
vate vessel owners attending races
make arrangements with the hospital
to take few of these men, and per-

day of the race?

The Silver Button
To the Editor of The Tribune

o the Editor OF Inc Tribune.
Sir: In a recent issue of your 100
per cent American newspaper a letter
was published, written by the wearer
of bronze button, in which he aptly
relates the general public's indiffer-
ence toward the possessors of silver
buttons.
Perhaps the public is not all to
blame for this apparent slight Few,
with the exception, of course, of rela-
tives of ex-service men, are aware of
the distinctive honor attached to the
silver button. And for that matter,
many do not know that the bronze
button is entitled to its particular
share Of glory.
For the last eight months I have
been the proud wearer of silver but
ton, having conspicuously worn this
victory emblem in my lapel. Twice
my attention was called by friends to
the fact that insomuch as L saw serv-
ice overseas l should be wearing a
bronze button. (No debut these friends
were confusing the silver service stripe
with the silver button and thinking
that bronze button was similar to
the gold stripe)
On several occasions I have been
asked "if that was a victory button"
And so, wearer of the bronze button,
when the people know that a bronze
button means an ex-servicer and that
silver one former wounded soldier
sailor or marine, why then your Grip
pied buddies won't have to stand in
crowded subways.

Merrick's hero, Lingham, puzzles us
throughout. Most Of his expressions of
high principle seem to us utterly alb
surd, while, on the other hand, he does
things without question which seem to
US of very doubtful ethics. For in
stance, he makes the most violent OBJ
lection when his wife suggests that
she should return to the stage, as their
money is exhausted. But little later
we find him composing a favorable
review, for the weekly which employs
him, of a performance by his wife
which he has never seen.

flew to it and wrestled with the string;
she had never possessed such expensive
lingerie before. Lingham cut the knot
for her, and she drew out some stock
ings, smiling. There were three pairs,
of different tints, to tone with the
costumes that she wore-and there
were voluminous garments of peculiar
design. He touched these curiously.

murmured, lowering her eyes. And,
indeed, they we're; but he realized that
the world was to see them on her.
