CHRONICLE AND
COMMENT pAsrsz44 s2 AF1Hgs MAURICE

NTOW that the teaeup tempest-in q
1N sense it was literally that-stirred
by Glare Sheridans alleged interview
with Rudyard Kipling at Batemans, Bur-
wash, in which certain remarks not ex-
-actly complimentary to the United States
were attributed to the host, has died down,
it seems time for intelligent Americans to
consider the whole matter from the point
of view Of good natured common sense,
and to draw from 1t useful lesson. AS
Mr.. Kipling has denied giving the inter-
view and repudiated the sentiments
ascribed to him. that completely closes
one aspect Of the case. Mr.. Kipling has
never lacked courage. We do not recall
that he has ever denied, or attempted
speciously to explain why, as for exam
pie, Thackeray attempted speciously to
explain away certain passage in the
opening chapter Of "The Newcomes," what
was meant to be read in the lines, as we'll
as between the lines, of "The Truce Of
the Bear" or "The White Mans Burden"
or "rhe Rhyme Of the Three Captains"
or France"
THE real significance of the affair was
L not in what Mr.. Kipling was alleged
to have said. That, even before the fiat
denial, was relatively of little Importance.
What was Of real Importance was the re-
ception Of the cabled statement in this
country. Utterance, Senatorial and edi-
torial betrayed strange and uncomfort-
able lack of self-control To borrow
line from the familiar Kipling poem. it
was "inopportune, shrill-accentcd." 1t
suggested the heart, leaping, 'as babes,
at little things" 1t served toIjustify
what has always been regarded as the
rather absurd portrait Of Wilton Sar-
gent, American, Of "An Error in the
Fourth Dimension" Some years ago
Katherine Fullerton Gerould wrote an
article that was widely quoted called "The
Amazing Rightness of Mr.. Kipling." Was
he right again in the remarks that were
attributed to him? Then there were the
many letters to the newspapers revealing
a surprising ignorance of Klpling's work
the appalling ignorance Of the "discov-
erer," who imparts the information tina.
Mr.. Kipling made such and such a state-

ment in the course Of a book called
American Notes"
TN the heat of controversy certain little
touches in the alleged interview
which stirred up all the trouble seem to
have been entirely overlooked. For ex-
ample, no one has pointed out that Clare
Sheridan began her account of the inter-
view with a misquotation Of Sussex"
which is the finest Kipling poem since
"The True Romance" IL not the finest he
has ever written. Then some one GER
tainly should have recalled Kiplings
arraignment Of American journalism in
what he considered its elementary stage
Of exaggerated sensationalsm in the
highly humorous story "A Matter of Fact"
in which the American journalist Kellor,
having witnessed in an upheaval Of South
Atlantic waters the death of the sea SER
pent and the agony of its mate, blind
white and smelling Of musk" realizes to
his dismay that it is impossible to dis
pose Of what should be the greatest beat
in newspaper history. and that the only
way that the truth can be told is in the
form Of the fiction which he regards with
the contempt Of the real journalist.
CUPPOSE that Mr.. Kipling had made
~ the remarks that were ascribed to
him. Suppose in the course of long talk
which he supposed to be confidential he
had said that we have "got the gold Of the
world" and that the real America died
in 1860" In the printed page these state
ments glare But what Of the context
which may have given the words an en-
tirely different meaning? Nor is the con-
text mere matter Of other words. Three
thousand-odd miles away the reader sees
the condemning words, hut he does not
see the possible twinkle of the myopic
gray eyes behind the thick glasses or the
raising Of the shaggy thatch eyebrow.
Many years ago Mr.. jesse Lynch Will
Jams. then reporter on the New YoRK
