The world at large can profit
from this tragic lesson, the eff
feet of which is unlike the Tier
nan scandal as it will help to
purify, instead of contaminate,
our social structure. This cat
astrophe in the life of two per-
sons who were as you and l, as
good or as bad, should awaken
in us deeper sense of what
tragedy means in our literature.
1t should drive home the realiza-
tion that its enactment in our
theaters is the same as waving
a danger signal to warn us when
fate lures like the Lorelei to
destruction upon the hidden
rocks of love and adventure.
The tragedy of the stage is the
tragedy of real life. It pictures
what may happen in our own
lives. 1t gives a warning that
should be needed.
But that our reasoning power,
our moral conception, our re-
ligious beliefs are insufficient at
times, is also proven by recent
happenings in Greece. Just a
few days ago, leaders in the ill
fated Turkish invasion were exc
cuted by the revolutionists who
have obtained control of the

heroes. Their sin was defeat.
And again death was the wage.
If their invasion of Turkey had
terminated in victory, instead of
rout, they would have been load
ed with public honors and would
have been idolized by the very
ones who condemned them to
death in defeat.
England holds up her hands
in holy horror at the spectacle
Of these wholesale executions Of
Grecian war leaders. She calls
the Greeks barbarians.
Not so many months ago. Eng
land branded Germans barbar-
ians because they refused to try
and execute their war leaders.
How to reconcile these two at
of the same people is a
task for a mental contortionist.
If you do not slay the leaders
who take you into an unsuccess-
full war, you are barbarians; If
you do slay them, you are still
oarbarians.
All of which goes to show that
one cannot escape fate. The
Re. Mr.. Hall and his choir singer
could not. Neither could the

mistake of doing what their
country was induced to at

- edy came to life again in
~ the Hall-Mills murder at
Sommerville, N. J. The modern
Romeo and Juliet suffered death
as did those of Montague and
Capulet.
There is evidence that the
pastor and his choir singer
fought against their illicit love,
that they made an heroic effort
to live within the bounds of
moral decency and to break the
ever narrowing circle of fate
which finally crashed them.
Unlike the Poulin : Tiernan
case, we are not dealing here
with a scandalous immoral de-
bauchery but with a real trag-
edy, the course of which could
not be controlled by the mental
power of it's victims. We may
call them weak; but criminal
they were not and it may even
be said they were not immoral.
These victims-church men,
bers-had lived under the most
exacting religious influences.
Still, there was no avenue of es-
cape from that unexplained sex
that disregards all
reason and lures to destruction,
be that destruction at their own
hands or at the hands of those
who were wronged and from
whom legitimate affection was
Lovers have always disregard

ways furnished the theme around
which our poets have woven the
story of the drama. And that is
what the grand jury felt intui-
lively in the investigation of the
double murder. 1t failed to re-
turn an indictment tho there
might have been some tangible
evidence to justify true bill.
To this jury-composed of hui
man beings, susceptible to the
impulses and attractions of other
humans-there was no guilt.
There was only a tragedy in
which both victims and slayers
had followed a course from
which there was no escape. !
The two lovers paid the pen
atty for their sin with their, lives.
The avenger goes free, but to
suffer in silence and remorse.
Punishment enough for both and
cruel justice has been meted out
without the aid of human laws.
Death is still the wages of sin.
And a living death is oftimes
more horrible to contemplate
than speedy dissolution.

There's story in that paper

That's memory of the war.
And man who never figured in the news.
There's cross upon his breast
That's the d. s. c.,
The Croix de Guerre, the Militaire,

And there's q heart beneath the medals
That beats loyal, brave and true
That's Dreben,
A Jew!
He is short, and fat and funny.
And the nose upon his face
Is about the size of Bulgar Dugan's horn.
But the grin that plays behind it
Is wide, and soft, and sunny,
And he wore it from the day that he was born.
There's cross upon his chest
That's D. S. c.,
The Croix de Guerre, the Militaire,
Mon Dieu!
He's He-Man out of Texas,
And he's Altman through and through
That's Dreben,

That breathe of racial hate,
Or hear arguments that hold his kind to scorn.
