OCEAN POINT
Ocean Point

Ocean Point
(By Edward Preble Norton)
Q Ocean Point. Thy breezes fresh are
blowing.
The salt spray through the air is
flashing free,
Thy Tree crowned heights with rosy
light are glowing,
Thou gem whose setting is the sum-
mer sea.
We hail thee with delight, the world
behind US
Is full of cares and worries which
we fee;
At Ocean Point they surely cannot find
Here We will rest, here we will
We gaze with joy upon the distant
Islands
The blue waves rise, and full our
pulses thrill,
The sunlight glory on thy cliffs and
highlands
Its golden radiance will our mem
When day is on the Western forest
And from the East the night comes
stealing in.
The lights flash out, the home-bound
sailor aiding.
MonheganS blazing star and calm
Seguin.
We sit and watch the tall ships speed
ing seward
May fate be kind to them with faN-
orng breeze,
Perchance some may find India on
their leeWard,
And some may sight the Tar Hcs-
perides
We wander on the beach in search OF
treasure
Brought BY old Ocean on his swell
ing tides
We breathe the fragrant air with
kecncSt pleasure;
We tread the shore a last where
health abides.
But time moves on, the Summer will
not tarry
The world is calling us from sea and
shore.
We leave thee with regret. but back
shall carry.
Bright memories to haunt us ever
more.
We leave thee with regret, but not
forever;
We love thy every wave, and rock,
and tree,
Some other Summer we from care will
sever
And rest again. beside the dreamy
Sea.

interpreter of strauss.

Interpreter OF strauss.
When Mengelberg came to America in
1893 he was 35 years old and had made
a name for himself, particularly as an in
terpreter of the music of Richard Strauss.
To him Strauss dedicated Elm Helden-
leben," and one has only to turn to the
files Of the New York papers following
his concert to see that his performance
of this tone-poem caused a great stir.
He also played Schumanns d minor
symphony and won praise with that.
But Mengelberg is much more than a
specialist in Strauss. True he did much
to make the music OF Strauss popular in
Europe--witness his Strauss festival in
London in 19O3-but before he had be-
gun on Strauss he had made a name for
himself an an interpreter Of Bach and
as a true Brahmsian. And in recent
years he has undertaken for the SYM
phonies of Gustav Mailer much the
same campaign that he undertook for
Strauss when the latter was struggling
against a hostile public. Only last
spring he gave a nine days Mailer fes-
tival in Amsterdam. which. despite the
troubles of the time. the inconvenience
OF travelling. the high cost of everything
brought to Amsterdam a crowd OF
strangers which would have been nota-
BILE before the war.
As a matter OF fact, Mengelberg seems
from his record to be a man Of broadest
musical sympathies, a modern who has
the deepest of loves for the classics. His
education and career really precludes
anything else. Brought up in a culti-
waited family. amid cultivated surround

Later he entered the Cathedral School

the piano, and at the end or three years
he was graduated from the Cologne
Conservatory with highest honors in the
piano, composition and CONDUCTING.
After spending another year in Cologne
he went TO Lucerne. where for three
years he was the municipal musical

Bergdoll's Substitute

eff it is Gods will that I come
through, I shall at least feel that l
have done something for civiliza-
ton"
So wrote the man who was killed
in Bergdoll's place and whose body
was buried yesterday in Philadel-
phia. When the Stacker failed to
respond to the call Russell Gross
was assigned to fill the vacancy.
No coward soul was his. Even
before Bergdoll hid from the draft
Gross was trying to persuade the
authorities that because he was
under weight was no reason why
he wouldn't make a good soldier.
He eagerly stepped into the place
that BergdolPs gold had made, and
went forth to death so as to make
the world safe for the man whose
craven spirit babe him "volup-
tuously surfeit out of action"
By failing to take his place in
the draft Grover Bergdoll sent an
other man to his death. To the in
fanny of his conduct toward his
country is added this further curse.
While he and his kind lodged the
service and lived in ease Gross and
his comrades prepared to make the
great sacrifice. They faced death
unf1inchingly, because their souls
were big enough to see that whether
or not they came through they had
done something for civilization.
Gross was one of these men. And
Gross died, while BergdolI lives,
and not only Bergdoll lives, but the
crew that sneered at and opposed
the war and since the armistice has
steadily labored to undo the work
of Gross and his comrades.

To-Day's Plain Duty

To-day, between the hours of 8
and 8 p. M, will be decided the
question of breaking Tammany's
grip on the city.
The enrolled Republicans are to
say whether or not in November
Tammany is to meet a divided or a
united opposition. The coalition
tickets supreme appeal is that it's
success means union, while it's de-
feat means division. The other
tickets and candidates., with their
sham issues, are in fact, even though
not by design, in Tammany's in
terest.
On Democrats and Independents,
as we'll as on Republicans, rests a
duty to-day. If it is the business
of the enrolled Republican to vote
for Curran, it is the business of his
neighbor to see that he does it. So
there is work for all.
If the city's redemption is to be
insured, if graft is to be throttled
and living costs reduced, if the
school system is to be rescued from
wreckers. the plurality for Mr..
Curran and his associates should be
large Don't rely on others to do
your job. Do it yourself! Do your
part in lifting the present Hylan
tax burden of $500 per family.

Buying Castles in Europe

If the inventory published is ac-
curate the job lot of castles Of
Archduke Frederick and Arch
duke Albrecht of Austria, pur-
chased by group of Ameri-
can capitalists, are numerous
enough to give each partner feudal
towers and moat. Some re-
Elected glory falls on the newspaper
craft, as a whole. For is not Mr..
Munsey, of "The Herald" and "The
Sum-" charter member of the club ?
If the title of Frederick passes with
his goods, has not our colleague
as good chance as any to be the
new archduke?
Hitherto it has been the practice
when royal family met hard luck
for the nation to appoint itself heir
to property accumulated through
special privileges. The art gal
leries and public places of Europe
are the palaces of departed great
ness. No syndicate of foreigners,
on the plea that private property
was sacred, purchased and held
Versailles, or Fontainebleau, or the
Louvre, or the Borghese Gardens at
Rome, or the Pitt palace at
Florence.
The successors to these Hapsburg
archdukes are hard-headed bust
ness men. They have doubtless
considered the difficulties of large
scale absentee landlordism-of how
a country, although welcoming out
side capital for development of
local industries and natural re-
sources, usually is averse to paying
rent to aliens. This weakness is
quite general, and of human nature
our dollar princes are, Of course, not
ignorant.
To what extent the purchasers
of property which the original own
ers find it unwise to keep expect
Uncle Sam to bring pressure to
compel quiet seizin of the new
owners is not indicated. There is
disturbing talk of litigation against
the governments now in adverse
possession, but where the suits are
tryable is not stated One can
imagine Secretary Hughes energeti-
cally keeping out of the cases; and,
happily, most Americans have more
urgent needs for their money than
to invest in bargains offered by
Hapsburgs or Hohenzollerns or
Wittelsbachs, or other families
which have recently found the king
business improbable.

but it may be greater, after all,
merely by the force of example rath-
er than by the actual results
achieved within limited circle of
students. Intellectual ladies and
gentlemen with incipient cultural
ambitions derive comfort from
course Of Browning or from more
or less analytical survey Of the dra-
matte performances of Pinero or
the tergiversations of a Shaw. The
Bible, however, perhaps unfortu-
nately for all the multiple-cylindered
theologians who have tried to invest
it in mystery, is no such book as re-
quires what the experts SO love to
refer to as "exegess.' 1t is the east
est book in the world to read and to
understand and is smothered rather
than interpreted by layers of learned
comment and explanation.

Studying the Bible

Columbia University, by introduce
ing course in the study of the
Bible, sets an honorable example
but let us hope that the conductors
of the course will avoid weakness
which has tended to diminish knowl-
edge of the Bible.
A vice with many scholars, who
may have devoted lifetime to origi-
nal research and who derive a pas
sionate pleasure from their own
studies, is that they almost invari-
ably try to force upon students their
own systems. They are so full of
speculations that they would unload
on the poor student. The number of
possible readers who have been
driven away from the Bible by the
number Of introductions written to
it or by the frightfully intricate
methods of approaching it devised by
ecclesiastical pundits is impossible of
calculation, but there can be no
doubt that 1t is very considerable.
The decrease in familiarity with the
Bible was coincident with the arrival
of the lesson leafiet.
The value of the Columbia Bible
course may, of course, be very Sreats
