MARSHALL AS A CANDIDATE

VICE PRESIDENT MARSHALL is
being trotted out as possible har-
mony candidate for the Democrats
Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts, is said
to be able to control the thirty-six dele
gates from his state and possibly the
total eighty eight from New England. If
he desires it the Massachusetts delegates
will present his name to the convention.
But Senator Walsh leans strongly to-
ward the Vice President, and Mr.. Mar
shall can have the Indiana delegation if
he wishes it.
Former Senator Bailey, of Texas, and
Senator Reed, of Missouri, are working
for anti-administration delegations to
San Francisco from their states. It is
not yet disclosed whether they will back
Marshall, but if they do it will be neces-
sary to eliminate the word harmony when
speaking of his candidacy.
This talk is interesting, but it is not
important nearly five months in advance
of the convention. 1t will continue, how
ever, until the President himself let's his
views be known. Then all but the re-
calcitrants will follow the bell wether.

municative. Naval commanders sta
toned abroad said very little for publi-
cation. The army chieftains seldom an
nounced their plans to laymen. 1t was
difficult at times for even the most en-
ergetic news services to discover just
what was going on.
The value of such reticence was so re-
peatedly emphasized that the public came
to believe that too much discussion of
military and naval matters might play
into the hands of the foe. Now that it is
all over we realize, even more than we
did during the conflict, how uniformed
we were.
Moreover, the thought is hard to dis
pei that if we had asked then for en-
lightenment we should not have got any
and would, from official quarters, have
been roundly berated for perilous prying
in a crisis.

KERENSKY'S HINDSIGHT

BARRING Gogol, the Russians have not
~ been notable for a sense of humor
For that reason it is unlikely that Alex
ander Kerensky was indulging in quaint
irony at his own expense the other day
when he blamed the Allies for having
played into the hands of the Bolshevists
for more than two years.
Historians will argue the subject, but
it is improbable that they will have many
doubts concerning openings which Ker-
ensky himself gave to soviet rule. If ever
a statesman proved "dud' and bunged
his opportunities at a critical period, it
was the former leader of Russia. Con-
fronted with the choice of weak man
with sensible ideas, or strong one with
mad potions, the unfortunate Slav
selected the latter.
Kerensky accusing others of misman-
aging difficult situation for which he
was directly responsible is in the posi-
tion of man cutting the cloth of his
indictment "a bit thick"

MAYOR MoORE'S doctrine of utili-
AZ tartan beauty, as eXpounded before
the City Parks Association the other
night, is not new, but it is always worth
emphasizing. AS an example of how not
to exemplify it, he referred pointedly and
frankly to one of the most futilely ex-
travagant projects ever railroaded
through Congress-the act authorizing
the construction of the harbor of refuge
at Cape May,
Foreign engineers have laughed at that
foolish undertaking, but the cost of fur
nisSing them with fun has been some
what too great to be comfortably appre-
ciated at home, save by those whom the
Mayor described as "the then reigning
statesmen"
In contrast Mr. Moore cited the prime
necessity of the Delaware bridge, pOmis-
ing preliminary work within six months,
and the need of rehabilitating the Della
ware and Chesapeake and Delaware and
Raritan canals. Although beauty should
receive expert consideration, it is the
wants which such enterprises will fill
that most commend them to public at
tention.
The claims of art, important as they
are, are often misconceived. The French
erected an attractive statue at Colon, but
they did not build the Isthmian canal.
n 1t is possible to balance values better
than that. The Camden bridge can be
made tasteful and still respectful of the
service it owes to two municipalities.
Mr.. Moore is quite correct in regarding
it as of more consequence than hand
some harbor of refuge in which nobody
wants to hide.

SOVIET INSURANCE

THE New York Life Insurance Co. has
= announced that the soviet government
of Russia has assumed all its obligations
in that country and has taken possession
of its Russian assets to enable it to meet
the obligations.
The significance of this action. so far
as it can be judged at this distance, lies
in its apparent revelation of the purpose
of the soviet government to protect those
who are insured in the company.
That is, the government has appar-
emily abandoned its policy of confscation
and it is attempting to conserve the
wealth of the country.
If this be the correct view, then ex-
treme radicalism is being abandoned and
common sense is beginning to govern.

The Battle Song of the Ages

OH, TWAS work and twas fight
" Where the guns spat death,
With will and a might
To the last gasped breath!
Out of the west with thunderous roar and a
cracke of f1ame-did you hear?--
Out of the vaulted, remote dim past with its
treasures of dreams-did you hear?-
Came chorus of Testers and Sages,
And of Paupers and Princes aid Pages,
Twas sad song,
Twas a glad song,
Twas the Battle Song of the Ages!
Out of the west with a ringing cheer
Their khaki forms came, line on line
Steadfast their eyes, not a sign of fear ~
All, bleeding France, what friends were
thine
Men who before, defiant, hurled
Their clarion call that reused the world
''Give us Liberty or Death -
"Give us our freedom, or let US die!
The very breeze on "F'landers Field
Heard from the dying the deathless cry
''To thee our selves, our lives, we yield ~
And breathed it to the golden wheat
And sobbed it o'er the clover sweet
''Give us Liberty or Death"
Up from the reek and noise and stencil
Where blood clots marked the place Of
Mars,
Up from the gas-choked, shell-wrecked
trench,
To where the dizzy twirling Stars
Looked down, the cry rose clear and strong,
Like trumpet blast both full and long
''Give us Liberty or Death ~
Back DER the valleys of Marne and Aisne
Where flowers choked in heroes blood
Back with sure and steady gain,
Where flowed the Rhine with reddened
flood
They fled who neer before had feared
A foe save that which grimly cheercd-
"Give us Liberty or Death -
And of Paupers and Princes and Pages,
Twas sad song,
Twas glad song.
Twas the Battle Song of the Ages!
