sCRAPPING THE OLD ORDER.

Ralph N. Easley, chairman OF the executive
council Of the National Civic Federation asks
if the old order shall be scrapped without stop
ping to consider what it has done, IS doing and
can do to achieve all that is proposed by pro
rhets of the new orderf'' Nh. Easley IL right
in calling attention to the foolishness OF the
radical call for change without proper inVestl-
CATION Of what we have and what we need to
change: and this is just the sort Of call which
the radicals are making. There never was a
time when opportunity for getting together Of
money. management and labor was well at
fordcd as it is today The old order-so called
has immense benefits to industry and society
10 it's credit: labor radicals do not attempt TO
deny this They admit that wages, hours,
working conditions, educational opportunities,
Punishment of child labor from factories, clean
ups Of sweat shops, regulation Of public util-
tiles, make a vast total accomplishment; and
all to the credit Of the existing order.
Mr.. Easley says the doctrinaire radicals are
trying to "sell'' their idea that there must be-
new order by harping on this as if it were al
accepted fact; people are continually told tina

SAD STUFF"

SEinburne died. would reveal the thlnness, the
poorness and the colorlessness OF Anglo-Sazon-
dom 3 poetic harvest The fault Of Swinburne
was the ruthless sacrifice OF thought to verbal
harmony But most of the poets who have sue
iceeded him exhibit neither thought nor verbal
harmony Both Edwardian and Georgian
poetry have for the most part been what George
the third called Shakespeare's plays, sad
str,ff "a phrase as admirably applicable IN the
case Of these latter aay poets as it was inappl-
cable IN the case of Shakespeare.
Of course such poets as Thomas Hardy and
John Masefeld stand ont from the feeble crowd

tivated with the utmost assiduity.

re have now lost, and Cole Young Rice have
followed the old tradition Of Wordsworth, Ten
uyson and Browning.
But when Just praise has been awarded to
the best poetry that has been written In English
in the course Of ten or eleven years, the output
must appear discouraging TO all who look upon
poetry as great art
Poetry is low cultivated mostly by weak
lings. The great mass OF II is a disgrace TO the

arrive for some days.
In Alsace and Lorraine French sov.
ereignty has already been established
In Poland proper the German forces
have long since disappeared. Thus
Germany is reduced to its new proper
tions, and becomes a smaller state
than at any time for fifty years. Save
for Poland the territorial reductions
are not material, in proportion, on
the map, but they are vitally signifi-
cant. They include highly valuable
areas, especially in AlsaceLorraine
and Upper Silesia. The mines of those
areas have for many years proved of
the greatest use to Germany. Schles-
wig, too. has been a material advan-
tage, while Danzig was one of the
most important Of Germany's ports.
The farewell parades of the Ger
man troops in Flensburg and Danzig
ure quite different from the grand
march through Paris that was so con-
fdently expected in 1914. 1t is now
the business Of the allied powers to
see that those troops do not return
to the lands they have just evacuated.
