MYTHS AND MYTH MAKING

(F'rom the New York World)
 Stephane Lauzanne, who came 10 the United States with M- Vivian1, has carried back to the Paris Mat1n the curious myth that George liar vey's Weekly defeated MT. Wilson and the Wilson policies. M. Lauzanne undoubtedly believes it; George liar vey certainly believes it; but Harvey's s Weekly had no more to do with the November election than did the Paris Matin.
 MT. Harvey's periodical never had a circulation of more than 45,oo0, even when the Republican National Committee was exploiting it Its readers were confined to a small class of professional Wilson haters and it was largely an organ for the e2- pression of Henry Cabot Lodges per sona1 and political venom Most of the voters who went to the polls nev- CT heard of it.
 Yet for all that. Mir. Harvey may be a person who makes and unmakes Presidents, just as M. Lauzanne pie lures him. For the last two weeks he has been actively engaged in un- making President Harding. who ap- pointed him Ambassador to the Court of St. James's.

(tTom the Rochester Democrat
 Chronicle)
 Historians, though they have chron- icIed and interpreted events from widely divergent and bewiIdering viewpoints, seem to have succeeded in accomplishing one feat. They have agreed, generally. on a com mon name for each great war that has taken place since the time that the armies of Cyrus discovered Baby lon. down to the recent war, when discovered America It was the imaginative historian, Homer, who dubbed a certain battle the Siege of Troy" the principal Roman battles received their titles before they passed into history; we hear of the battle of Waterloo, the War of the Roses, the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, Sc
 Now the casualty lists. the money expended, the energy wasted and the numerous orators have indicated thar the latest war was the greatest in all history; that compared to it; the Siege of Troy was like a football scrimmage practice; the War of the Roses game of ping-pong and the Civil War a little backyard quarrel It was a notable war, every one was willing to admit, but what are the historians going to call it2
 The historian has not a large choice to pick from. Some call it the World War; others, the European War, the Great War, sc. If it is called the World War, Spain. Sweden, Liberia and others may take it as an insinua- ton that they aren't to be considered a part of the world; if it is named the European War the Canadians, the Americans and the Bo1ivians will rise md shout, Where do we come in ?' If 1t is dubbed the Great. War who knows but Ceasar. Napoleon and Co., Hath will turn over in their graves and murmur in our own colloquial phraseology: Where do you get that great stuff?''
 It's a delicate choice. But that is Tor the historian to worry about Long after those who lived through this war have passed away, the his tonans will be pondering and ex- pounding and writing. So it certainly behoVes us to call the war what ever we want to, and spend our en- ergy on much more concrete things. such as figuring the intricacies of the income tax and the batting aver ages of Babe Ruth.
