The West Winds Lullaby.
From the Kansas city star.

From the Kansas city star.
Out Of the caverns of jacinth and pearl
Far in the deeps Of the west.
Out OF the clouds that so lazily curl
Down on the wide oceans breast,
over the mountains that tower serene,
Snow capped and silent and bare.
over the valleys that nestle between,
Sheltered and smiling and fair.
Into the maple trees over thy bed
Softly and swiftly I come.
Smoothing the pillow beneath the wee
head,
Soothing with drowsIest hum.
Listen I'll sing to thee, swinging thee
slow
To and fro.
Tenderly murmur in cadences low,
Lullaby, lullaby-oh.'
Down through the leaflets that stir in
their dreams
As pass silently by,
See! / will scatter the shimmering
CLEANS
Out Of a star dimpled sky.
Into thy slumber their brightness Will
creep.
Filling thy dream with delight.
Close by thy side sweet vigil to keep,
lowering near thee all night.
Back to thy cradle / drift in the gloom.
Shadow hung meadowland through.
Laden with fragrance OF many bloom
Slumbering there in the dew.
Listen! My singing again thou shalt
hear.
Do not fear.
Sleep while I murmur so low in thine
ear,
Lullaby, lullaby. dear

years OF revolution and seven years
OF anarchy are before us!"
1t is striking commentary on the
situation in which the world finds
itself that such depressing forecast
of the coming ten years will not
alarm those who take 1t seriously
in anything like the degree 1t would
have alarmed them score or even
half score OF years ago.
In the last seven years humanity
has disclosed to itself such a ca
pacity for withstanding suffering and
sorrow, for adapting itself to strange
and burdensome conditions. for do
ing without the comforts it once con-
sidered its right and for depriving
itself of those things 1t was wont to
look upon as necessaries of existence,
that it looks forward with resigned
confidence. If not complacency. to
whatever terrors the futnr,> may hold

The designation of SAMUEL WooD-
FILL as the most heroic American in
fantryman Of the war brings out
something beyond the remarkable
story of WooDFILL's exploit. 1t re-
veals the astonishing stupidity and
neglect Of the American army system.
System. we say, because no partic-
ular official can be blamed for it. 1t
Is one of the sins of our old enemy,
Red Tape.
| WoopFILL was first lieutenant OF
F! the Sixtieth Infantry Oh October
! IL, 1918, when he went out ahead of
his first line with two privates to
take a German machine gun nest.
Four Of the enemy attacked him and
he killed three at ten yards and fin
ished the fourth in hand to hand
fight. He rushed a second nest, ST.
fenced the gun, shot several Ger
I mans and took three prisoners. At
tacking q third machine gun posi-
tion, he killed five men with his rifle
and. failing to finish two resisting
gunners with his revolver, killed
them with a pick. Some adventure!
For his heroism WooDFIIL was pro-
NOTED TO q captaincy and he received
the Medal of Honor and two French
decorations.
But what happened to WooDFIIL
after the war? Well, like most men,
he went back to his business. But in
his case that business was being a
soldier. 1t was being regular. Cor
WooDrmL had been in the army a
dozen years before the war.
After the armistice WooDFuL re-
enlisted in the army. But the best
rank that the army would give WooD-
FILL. who had put up the greatest in
dividual fight that is Of American
record in the war and who had won
in succession lieutenancy and cap
taincy, was that OF sergeant!
SAMUEL WooDrILL was good enough
to be a commissioned officer in the
war. He was great enough in the war
to inspire every soldier who heard
Of the exploit which made CGUR
DE LION look like mollycoddle. But
after the war he was not good enough
for a commission. WooDFILL could
kill nineteen Germans in half an
hour. but he couldn't kill Red Tape,
the invulnerable old paralyzer Of the
War Department.
WooDFuL is not to go without
honor, for it is fine distinction TO
represent the infantry at the Un-
known Soldier ceremonies. But as
he stands there--unless somebody
does something in the meantime-as
sergeant who was once captain,
what will our guests from Europe
think of nation which denotes its
heroic living?

The New Courts.
Judge Mayer Speaks in Favor Of the
Fifth Constitutional Amendment.

To THE NEW York HERALD: / was
greatly pleased to note your comments
in favor of the fifth proposed amend
ment to the State Constitution to be
voted for this fall in respect of increas-
Ing the power of the Legislature In re-
gard to children's courts and domestic
relations courts.
The Children's Court was opened on
September 2, 1909. It's first session was
presided over by the late Mr.. Justice
olmstcd. / being then Justice OF the
Court OF Special Sessions had the priv
ilege Of being the next Judge to sit In
that court. Since then Its usefulness
has been fully demonstrated and 1t has
served a purpose Of the highest value
to the community.
/ was counsel to the Inferior Courts
Commission which, among other things
recommended the establishment OF the
Domestic Relations Court. That rec
ommendation was adopted by the Leg
islature and that court likewise has
proved its great value.
Both OF these courts have developed
most favorably since their inception and
I believe that the proposed amendment
will enable the Legislature 10 enact
statutes which will be Of added useful
ness In the administration OF the prob
lens which come into these courts.

will again call attention TO the impor-
tance Of this proposed amendment.

Formally in the Theatre.

The custom of requiring full eve

parts of the theatre has been re-
sumed at the Paris Opera for the
first time since the war, and Is taken
to indicate to the rest of the world
that the informality in theatre dress
Of the past few years has come to an
end. In London, and in less degree
here, evening dress was regarded as
more or less questionable in taste by
those who during the years of war

This Time a Milk Strike.

Now it is milk strike, and there
is this to be said OF it. A dispute
over wages and hours between the
organization of distributors and the
union OF drivers is private question
TO be settled among themselves. But
the supply of necessary, life sustain
ing milk for children, babies and the
sick is a matter OF deep public CON
Germ. not to say safety.
The nourishment of tens Of thou
sands of lives which depend upon
milk coming to them regularly and
adequately could not be cut off with
out causing widespread suffering and,
as Commissioner CoLER says, even
death. Such a thing cannot be per-
mitted in New York and will not be.
1t will demand no genius and it
will be merely common humanity for
the Health Department to take COM
mand OF this situation wherein it Is
OF vital Importance So long as milk
can be sent into the city, and this
ought to be indefinitely, the Health
Department, with the backing of the
broad chested and big hearted police
and with the cooperation OF whatever
volunteers may be needed, can make
absolutely sure that no hospital, no
nursery and no household where milk
is essential to life and strength shall
be helplessly cut off from their in
dispensable supply.
The Health Department can deliver
milk at some houses and institu-
tions; it can maintain throughout
the city numerous supply stations to
which others can go for theirs. How
ever the work be done, the milk must
be available for those who cannot do
without it.
In these conditions the people of
New York could be very well salts
fed to let the milk companies and
their striking employees fight it out,
confident that If the unions are in
the right as to their claims they
would win, while hopeful that if they
are in the wrong they would lose, to
the larger consideration and ultimate
benefit of the innocent bystander, the
public, which, whatever the outcome,
pays all the bills.

As to Beautiful Women.

Professor FREDERICK STARR OF the
University OF Chicago has surveyed
feminine America. weighed our
women in the balance of his anthro-
biological knowledge. applied to them
the discerning eye of scholarship and
found them deficient in physical
beauty. Only American good nature,
he is quoted as saying, causes us to
call q girl beautiful who is not phe-
nomenally ugly. and he adds.
There Is no reai beauty In the
United states. Only among the LII
berian and kindred races is real
beauty to be found"
But what the scientist assails the
artist defends. DR.. RICHARD STRAUSS,
the composer, just arrived in New
York, with sight unsurfeited by the
American girl, says he finds all
American women beautiful.
Perhaps this difference OF opinion
may develop into a heated argument,
with dictionaries full Of technical
terms hurled by the aggressor and
salvos Of realistic music fred by the
defender. II would be struggle
worth hearing.

Loneliest of Islanders.
People Of Pitcairn, in the Pacific,

fvv Dean In London Daily Mail.
A lonely island in the central South
Pacific Ocean and more than thousand
miles from anywhere, Pitcairn Island,
with now about $50 inhabitants, forms a
part Of the High Commissionership Of
the Southern Pacific. Owing, however,
to it's isolated position it had never hith-

first--consisted Of French airs and songs
ranging from Lully and Paer to Faure.
Massenet and a group of folk songs. His
voice so well controlled. his elegant

delight. He sang with splendid dramatic
effect the "Ah. Fuyez Douce Image"
from Massenet's opera, "Manon." Mr..
Clement. having now completed his Ca
madam and American tour. under the
auspices of the French Ministry Of Fine
Arts. will sail to-day aboard the Paris

gave recital at Town Hall yesterday
afternoon, and in Chopin's f minor fam
tasy and other numbers hardly showed
the progress in his playing to be ex-
Dected from his first hearing nere last
year. His technic Is well trained,
though not entirely trustworthy and his
fondness for the loud" pedal persistent.
In his last selection-a one movement

came more interesting. The work was

opera. Only evening dress was known
there. In the theatres there is less
strictness in the rule. First appear
ances OF certain actors with fash
ionable following usually succeed in
dressing the masculine spectators in
customary black. There is always
at such performances a fair proper
tion of men in formal evening dress.
Yet it cannot be said that to men
who are unaccompanied by women
evening dress is compulsory at the
theatre.
1t rarely if ever happens that the
progress of any social movement,
however trivial, is un3ccompanied by
a tendency working in the opposite
direction. There are, therefore, IN
fiuences tending to increase the in
formality OF theatregoing. They seek
to make the function as easy and
comfortable as it can be, apart from
the quality Of the play. ARTHUR
Vine PINEBo in London has even
come out in favor of smoking in the
playhouse. He believes that the Sc
rious drama would with this drastic
change be better able to meet on equal
terms those forms of theatrical di-
version at which tobacco smoking is
possible. Other advocates of this
same movement seek to remove all
restrictions that may make attend
anee at the theatre any more irksome
than dropping in at music hall.
Only by this means is ii thought pos
sible TO place the serious and the
frivolous drama on an equal footing
with the music halls. In the mean
time the New York playgoer will in
all probability continue to follow the
rules that prevail here and which
have never been too exacting for his
comfort since they are largely de-
termined by his own convenience.
He will, moreover. certainly be able
to take his drama without the ne
cessity of smoking.
