Not altered through a window pane.
But, IN some wide and open space.
Would feel upon my eager face
The touch Of rain and wind and sun
And feel them gladly every one
My roots that are so crampcd and stf
Would spread themselves along cliff;
Ny little leaves would lift and grow

Mr.. Wilson's vigor.

The many admirers Of former
President WILSON cannot fail to be
pleased by the recent indications
that he is again in possession of
that temperamental vigor which was
such salient part Of him in most
Of his official career.
Mr.. WILSON'S letter denying his
authorship of the message" pur-
porting to be from him which Mr..
TUMULTY read at the National Dem
ocratic Clubs Jefferson Day dinner
was good example OF the incisiye
terseness which Mr.. WILSON knows
how to use.
Now comes the letter to the st.
Louis Globe Democrat repudiating
praise o. Senator REED which LEE
MERRrwErHER attributed to the for.
mer President. Mr.. WILSON'S state
ment that Senator REED has shown
himself incapable OF sustained al.
legiance to any person" may pro-
woke reminiscence, and, as we'll, it
may be unfair to the Missouri op-
popent of the Wilson Covenant who.
incidentally. has made public the let
ter in which President WILSON
praised him. But it is sign that
the spirit of Mr.. WILSON can be as
fiery as of yore.
Those who feared or hoped that
tho wilsonian bark had forever left
the main stream of politics for the
peaceful coves OF solitary reflection
must be disappointed, pleasantly or
otherwise.

From Palm Beach in Ten Hours.

To appreciate the speed with which
CLIFFORD WEBSTER drove a seaplane
from Palm Beach to New York on
Monday his exploit must be compared
with the epochal flight of the NC-4
from Newfoundland to the Azores on
May 1, 1919.
The mileage of both seaplanes was
about the same. Commander READS
boat made 200 miles, from Trepassey
to Horta, in one hop. WEBSTER went
1920 miles in two flights, stopping of
in North Carolina for luncheon.
The naval seaplane made its his
toric journey in Is hours and Is min
utes. The trip from Palm Beach to
the North River consumed only 8
hours and Sc minutes of flying time.
REaD's seaplane went at the rate of
so miles an hour: WEBsTER's at the
rate of 1913 miles an hour.
While the navy plane was heav-
lily built craft, the new record
breaker is not frail. A flying ma
chine that carries nearly ton Of
men and fuel and can stand the
strain OF driving two or two and a
half miles minute through the
ocean winds is no weakling.
The fine feat accomplished by
WEBSTER. and particularly the swift
ness OF his flight, suggest how near
the seaplane will bring South Amer
ica to us. IT WEBSTER had started
for the tropics instead of for New
York he could have lunched on the
Island OF Jamaica and dined In Co
lombia or Venezuela. Or he could
have taken his midday meal at Yuca-
tan and his dinner in Colombia or
Venezuela.
Exploits like this of WEBsTER's are
examples of real progress in avia-
ticn. Engines are being made
stronger and swifter. Planes are
safer. Two miles minute becomes
a reasonable pace. Manhattan to At
lantic City in 40 minutes! 1t takes
train that length of time to run to
Long Beach.

John McCormAck's Recovery.

The news of JOHN MCCORMACK S
mending health will bring genuine
relief to larger circle Of admirers
than any other singer now before
the public can boast of having. He is
the singer of the people. He has, to be
sure, appeared with success in opera.
He has been soloist with symphonic
orchestras. He has contributed to
the extremely musical concerts or
ganized by professionals for the
glorification OF their art. But 1t Is
as the singer of the peoples songs
that he has made his far reaching
fame.
He might depend on the sensuous
beauty of his uncommonly lovely
voice or the popularity OF many of
the works on his program. But he
was not satisfied to live hy Mother
Machree" alone. He gained his hold
on the people In measure from the
use of their own tongue in his per-
formances in addition to making his
programs out Of the ballads they love.
He was too ambitious and too thor
ough musician to stop here. He
would never consent to let his fame
rest simply on his appeal as singer
of Irish songs.
So he is heard in translations Of
the romantic Germap composers.
such as SCHUBERT, ScHUMANN and
BRAHMS. He sings Handel with a
skill appropriately suited to the ex-
quisite natural organ he possesses.
Mozart he sings and Beethoven. These
essays in the classical field are the
result of his own artistic instincts.
fIe delights with his beautiful voice
the ears of his listeners. But he has
an artistic conscience ana 1t would
be impossible for him to lack in re-
spect for the ideals which are always
before his eyes.
So, while he woos the senses with
his Incompatible tones. Re has nj
ways stimulated the taste by his ad-
dition of some music OF the highesr
class to every concert. This pro.
gram he has carried almost with
the thoroughness Of propaganda. No
other singer has done SO much to in.
troduce the highest kind OF music
into the small and outlying towns
which are eager to hear him. The
popular numbers OF his programs are,
to be sure, in their place Of impor-
tance. But he always adds as well a
classical number. On subsequent
visits the classical features OF the
program are likely to be more numer-
Gus. This has always been his rule.
1t is not probable that 1t will be
changed In the future.
His popularity was greatly in
creased by the generosity with which
he put his gifts and his art at the
disposal OF the country during the
war. No other singer was more gen.
erous. He was unflagging in organiz-
ing concerts whenever they were
needed. Nor did he confine himself
to aiding the good works OF any one
creed or race. Already admired as
their singer, the people came to love
JOHN MCCORMACK as patriot. So
the pews Of his approaching recovery
will carry cheer to thousands who
will be more eager than ever to sit
under his artistic ministrations.

Perpignanese were called to do their
lighting on the Flanders front.

PorpignaneSe were called to DO their
lighting on the Flanders front.
Andorra, next to San Marino. in
eastern Italy, is the smallest national
entity in the world. 1t is pictur-
esquely situated in a Pyrenean val
ley, surrounded on all sides by noun
tains. The Andorrans are robust.
good looking race, and rather proud
of the fact that they are the sole sur
vivors of the warlike, independent
people who dominated the Pyrenees
in medieval times. Possibly they re-
tain some of the old military spirit.
but as they have not been engaged in
war for centuries they are looked
upon as peaceful people.
The Perpignanese, however, are
proud of the fact that they are often
referred to as fierce. lighting peo-
ple." They are mostly of Spanish
blood and at the time when Andorra
set up as a republic under q sort of
joint control by Spain and France
they were gathered in by RIcHELIEU
and annexed to France. They have
always felt that Andorra, too, should
be French. They were especially
aroused some years ago when
through the rupture between France
End the Vatican it was announced
that Frances rights in Andorra had
been permitted to lapse.
The Pyrenean region is watching
the progress of the hostilities with
interest. The war is the smallest on
record for Europe; and after the
great war a small war is enough of a
novelty to attract attention. 1t will
evidently be war of short duration,
for the fierce Perpignanese must soon
go home to their blowing. and, be-
sides. the French police are likely to
stop it. The President Of Andorra,
however, wishes the world to under
stand that the Pyrenean republic
is in no peril and that if 1t becomes
necessary the Andorrans will fight
the fierce Perpignanese or any other
people in defense of the independence
of their republic.

In that it was made and signed

In no other sense is it surprise.

Sullivan Law Effects.
It Does Not Prevent Bandits From
Carving Weapons.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The way
to stop the present outbreak Of crime Is
to teach the public how to shoot and
properly to arm them. Bandits don't
spend their precious time in holding up
armed policemen or soldiers; they
choose the unarmed citizens.
IL the Sullivan law were repealed and
shooting galleries opened robberies
would be less popular.
Gunmen obtain permits 70 carry guns
IL they can. but II not they carry them
anyway. The law-ahding citizen may
stretch matters by carrying a flask, but
he does not bother to obtain a revolver
permit and arm himself.

The moon pours down its silver. dimly

Upon the beeches in the avenue.
That step like ghostly damsels, two BY

wreathed with faint green and robed In
shining white;
Perchance they mask as Dryads, or they
might
Be vestal Virgins. bearing sacrifice.
Or Sirens, wise with magic. who entice
Mortals unto the loveliness OF night.
No matter what Protcan gulse they wear.
Theirs is the lure that misty. half
seen things
With poesy and scent and music share ;
The immemorial charm that beauty
brings,
In whatsoever shape or form It be,
If it may still evoke a mystery.

rom the start of the game it was

showed flashes of excellent form. One
or their faults was in circIing the ball,
ana penalties were called on them no
less than three times. On two of these
occasions goals resulted from the pen.

Miss Sue Goodman was the out

sterling defense, breaking many a threat
at the Yellow goal. Most Of her six
