and certainly the most human that
has been offered TO students. His an
alytlcal works on SHAKEsPEARE, on
American literature and other topics
are themselves permanent literature.
In spirit he caught early something
of the mordantly contradictory tone
which has been made popular in late
years by the ironies Of SHAW and
CHEsTERToN. He scintillated with
wit; sometimes even ran TO paradox.
This perhaps initiated against him
in his early professional career. Some
Of the too serious refused TO take him
seriously. But as time went on he
overcame all prejudices by the force
of his real attainments and the
brilliancy of his intellect.
When he retired from active teach
ing three years ago there was none
to dispute his standing in the front
rank Of contemporary letters. The
university gave him emeritus honors;
the American Academy of Arts and
Letters elected him member in 1916
In succession to HENRY JAMES.

Europe's Balance Sheet.

For purposes of arriving at the
economic relationship Of Europe to
the rest of the world and determining
how far 1t has recovered from the
war that continent can in general
cases be treated more satisfactorily
as a single unit than in all it's sep
arate parts. The war brought home
10 Europe that there could be no such
thing as economic independence In a
closely knit civilization. The quick
resumption Of trade relations between
friend and foe Is another proof.
1t may be assumed with equal pro-
priety, therefore, that consolidated
balance sheet of Europe showing the
aggregate position represented by both
visible income and outgo from trade
and invisible receipts and disburse-
ments from varied sources would re-
feet more faithfully the true strength
or weakness of Europe than would
an abstract balance sheet Of any one
Of the nations alone. Such n balance
sheet is presented below, drawn up in
most cases from official figures, but in
the case Of Italy and Germany esti-
mated from official reports for part
OF last year 100000 omitted):

Trying to Save the Elk.

The recent announcement that the
elk, which was formerly so common
in the Yellowstone and other por-
tons Of the West, Is in danger of
becoming extinct is a matter of con-
Germ to sportsmen and naturalists. 1t
was estimated that the United States
held 24,000 elk In 1914. This was
reduced to 1900 three years later.
Now 1t is reported that 10000 head
which were supposed to be I'm the
Yellowstone have disappeared. Sports
men are inclined to place the blame
on the encroachment Of the cattle
grazing interests in Wyoming, much
of the area formerly employed as
winter feeding ground by the elk hav-
ing been leased by cattle men. II
was the custom of the elk to remain
in the higher attitudes during the
summer. They were driven from the
hills when winter brought SHOWS of
such depth that the elk, which is not
splay footed like the moose. was un-
able to navigate the drifts. In the
valleys where the snow was not so
deep the herds paved their way to
the summer cured grasses and passed
through the rigors Of the winter In
comparative safety.
With the advent OF cattle men in
ever increasing numbers their herds
left these grazing areas compara-
lively clean in the autumn. The elk
coming down from the hills found
their old pastures denuded and are
said to have perished In great num-
bers Ranchmen actuated by pity
have in many instances fed hay to
many OF the beasts which invaded
their hay yards while tame under
the pressure of starvation. The Fed
eral authorities as the result OF an
appeal bought quantities OF hay and
stored 1t rs an emergency measure in
the hope that the breed might be
preserved.
The latest reports. however, are of

The Great Mystery.
A Father Who Fears His Children
Will Ask Him Why We Are Here.

To THE NEW York HERALD: DR.. Red
ways interesting letter "Why Babies
Die" contains a side reference to a topic
even more interesting than the subject
which he treats so ably. lie suggests
that this generation knows brt ignores
the fact that "the perpctuation Of the
race is the first law OF life" II It
is the first law of life clearly nothing
that we can do will prevent it. But I
am not sure that we do know IL. or that
If we did we are under any obligation
to aid in perpetuating IL.
Perhaps Or. Redway can tell us why
we should consciously lend hand in
keeping IL going. A friend Of mine who
is n man of fairly broad vision said the
other day that he was fearing the day
when his children would ask him why
he had brought them here. lie confessed
that he did not know what to offer in
extenuation. Perhaps DR. Eedway can
help him. ANDREW BARTON.

Get All the Brindellisrn.

BRINDELI, the labor cZar who preyed
alike upon builder, wage Garner and
the public, received a prison term of
Ave to ten years on conviction under
one indictment. He might have re-
ceived, he may still receive, thirty
years on conviction under all the in
dictments against him. If he had
received all Of that punishment at
once minds that think clearly and
honestly would not think he got too
much.
But nobody ought to forget that
BRINDELL also was only an incident
Of what has come to be known as
Brindellism. Working alone he would
have been nothing but filthy little
CRATER. Except for those back of and
above him BRINDELL Of himself could
out of the mouths Of workmen who
wanted to go straight, he could not
have driven honest contra ctors out of
business so as to clear the field for the
corrupt contractors, he could not have
pyramided building costs, rents and
taxes while stuifing the pockets of
big crooks. BRINDELL Of himself
never could have achieved a fraction
of the monstrous wrongs that were
done and the colossal pillage that was
torn out Of the public. This was the
conception and the feat of the loftier
plotters and criminals.
What BRINDELL got the public
wants to see the master minds and the
master beneficiaries Of his rottenness
get, every bit and more. Big builder
or little builder, legal adviser or po-
litical boss, every one of them that
had his hands in the crookedness and
crime must get what BRINDEIL got
or there viii be q sickening miscar-
riage Of justice. Let no guilty man
escape.

Suppressing Strike Violence.

There Is a strike on the lines of the
United Traction Company, which op-
crates in and between Albany and
Troy. The company has announced
25 per cent. cut in wages and l,200
employees have quit work. The COM
pany has collected a body of strike
breakers, said to number 600, to run
the cars, but when the attempt was
made on Tuesday there were wild
tumults. Cars were wrecked. electric
wires were cut and torn down and
several men were so badly beaten
that they went to the hospital.
The merits of the difference be-
tween the employing company and the
strikers is not in any way involved
in the proposition that law must be
upheld, order maintained and life and
property made safe under all circum-
stances. If there are men willing to
accept the company's terms, peaceful
suasion, argument, appeals to feeling
may be used on them legally and with
rroprety. But the attempt to break
their heads and the windows in the
cars, the blockading Of streets and
threats to passengers are criminal
acts and must be repressed as such.
These tactics of violence are usu-
ally the first sure indication of the
failure Of a strike. Indeed, they sug-
gest a consciousness in the strikers
minds that they have not a sound
cnuse on which they can win by fair
means. In the troubles In Brooklyn
last year the various mob outbreaks
did more to render the mems position
hopeless than any utterances of the
receiver of the car lines.
Governor MILLER is doing his duty,
no more. no less, in crushing riot in
the State capital district.

Barrett Wendell.

OF the man BARRETT WENDELL 1t
may be said that he was less Gre
ator than a critic. more a citizen Of
the world Of letters than a university
don. Yet when his work comes TO
be finally appraised Il will PROBABLY
rank as highly creative and its didac-
tic results its most valuable part.
His impress upon the body Of Har-
ward graduates, made through the
thirty-seven years of his teaching
there, is an achievement in itself.
The tradition Of scholarship crossed
with the spirit Of inquiry. Of scepti-
cism, of acute and eager criticism
belongs not merely to those who sat
under him but by diffusion to the
country and indeed the English speak
ing world.
BARRETT WENDErL's writings along
the lines Of his own speciality, the
language and its literature. have a
lasting value. His Textbook of Eng

sort as the Colonial Hotel in and about
New York are only waiting for the care
less smoker to start new blaze with
greater or less loss of human life. There
should not be any IL the authorities will
see to it that buildings are arranged
or equipped for automatic control of
fire so that fires will be confined to the
locality of origin.
In forty years in upward of 10000
fires in properties equipped with auto
matte sprinklers there has not been a
single disaster such as that at the Colo
nial Hotel. and a number OF these prop
critics are hotels.
Laws fixing personal responsibility for
fires will do far more than anything
else to arrest the criminal waste OF life
and property by FIRE, for under such
laws property owners will have to face
the fact that to have a fire is a crime
for which they are accountable.

Lochinvar in Scarsdale.

When young Lochinvar, on a far
famed occasion, rode out of the west
to capture a bride, we are told on
the highest authority that "he rode
all unarmed and he rode all alone"
His most recent imitator took along
with him two high power cars, a
posse comitatus of fifteen and several
revolvers. When Lochinvar entered
so boldly the Netherby Hall his tao
tics were those of subterfuge. The
Scarsdale wooer and his friends shot
up the house.
Lochinvar blandly said he had Just
dropped In for a drink and a dance.
and when the parents Of fair Ellen
incautiously took him at his word he
took advantage of them with lone
touch to her hand and one word IN
her ear" They made q quick get
away by an extraordinary feat of
horsemanship.
So Hight to the Group the fair lady he
SNullB,
So light to the saddle before her he
sprung.
Apparently he must have jumped
over her head; at any rate, he got
away without any rough-house, and
all the racing and chasing that fol-
lowed brought back neither him nor
his willing bride.
The hero Of the Scarsdale episode
showed no such tact or diplomacy.
He heightened out the scene and SO
permitted it to take an acrimonious
turn. Whether the lady In the case
altogether resented his cave man
methods or not seems open to dis
pute, but it is certain he so prolonged
the word in her ear that she was
heard to cry bitterly. The rest of
the family had time to get beyond
the fretting and fuming stage and an
all round scrimmage resulted, in
which the abductor's friends peppered
the ceiling with bullets, fractured the
furniture and left two of the feminine
defenders seriously damaged.
Presumably the pursuit in this case
will be as eager as when "Forsters,
Fenwicks and Musgraves, they rode
and they ran" 1t is to be hoped that
it will be more effectual. There is
distinctly a third party in interest
beside the nocturnal suitor Of primi-
tive instincts and the lady of his de-
sires. The perfectly peaceful people
who gave her the shelter and comfort
Of their home and who only aimed to
exercise a prudent restraint in her
interest were subjected to violent
wrong in the invasion Of their sleep,
the destruction Of their property and
in personal injury reclklessly in
fiicted. Surely the State should have
a last word to say as to this.
