THE BLACK SHEEP

The death In Munich, Bavaria April
10, of William Bayard Hale, former
American journalist and diplomatic Of
fetal, brought to close the career of
the "black sheep" of a family whose
name figures in some of the produest
pages of American history. From Ma
than Hale whose one regret was that
he had but one life to give for his coun-
try to Edward Everett Hale who wrote
"The Man Without Country" the
Hales were an unbroken line of patriots
It was the irony of fate that the son
of the man who wrote the powerful
story of Lieut.. Philip Nolen, who cursed
his country's name in moment of
piGue and thereafter lived his life in such
surroundings aboard ship that he never
even. heard that country's name pro-
nounced, should himself become man
without a country. That is what hap
pened to William Bayard Hale, who
did not learn the lesson conveyed in
the tragic story written by his father
and which is regarded as one of the
most convincing lessons on patriotism
ever penned.
Although William Bayard Hale denied
the charge he acted as agent for the
German government and head of the
German propaganda service in the war,
there is ample documentary evidence to
prove he did. The evidence is the pom
dereus volume which Hale produced and
Won Bernstorff, German ambassador,
published in defense of Germany's ruth
lessness on the seas. This volume was
printed after the sinking of the Lusi-
tania, when hundreds of Americans were
killed.
But If Hale had written nothing in
defense of Germany's murder on the
seas, his employment at $4,000 year
as adviser to the German intelligence
bureau would have been enough to con-
vict him in the eyes OF patriotic Ameri-
cans. This bureau devoted itself to a
condemnation of loyal American publ
cations: the bribing or attempted brib-
ing of American publishers and writers
the promotion of strikes and disorders
the secret control of airship and ammu-
milton plants, and to anything in gen.
eral that might tend to weaken the
cause of the allies in the estimation OF
the American public.
AS tragic sidelight on Hale's career
he had been highly honored by his
country. He was chosen by Former
President Wilson to perform delicate
and intricate duty in connection wifi
diplomatic dealings with the Carranzs
government in Mexico and he acquitted
himself with honor and success.
Subsequently Hale went to Berlin a.
foreign correspondent for the Hears
newspapers and the opportunity came
to sell himself TO the German govern
ment, an opportunity of which. he tool
advantage as was proven by a senatorial
investigation which developed his con
ncction with the German intelligenc,
bureau. Following the finding of tn
Senate committee, the Authors League
of America took steps to expel him a
member on the ground that while bein,
m the employ of the German govern
ment and without acknowledging thos
affiliations he had circulated German
propaganda and had even gone so ia
as to criticize the President df his coun

try who at that time was trying to de-
fend the country's rights at sea.
These disclosures and the criticism
which. followed embittered Hale's life
and he could not bring himself to lace
the consequences of returning to Amer
lea after the war. He died abroad, lit

GENERAL CONFERENCE.

Representatives of the Roman Cath
ollie. Episcopal and practically all OF
the other Christian denominations will
sit together at Madison, Wis, from
June 80 to July II, next, for a con-
ference on church work in rural COM
munities, according TO an announce
ment received in San Antonio by Rev.
Claude r. Parkerson, vicar OF st.
Pauls Episcopal Church.
The announcement came from Rev.
Charles n. Lathrop, secrtary of the
social service department of the Epls-
copal church.
The unusual fact that the clergy
of the Roman Catholic church are
10 participate with the clergy of the
Protestant denominations in this con-
ference" Rev. Mr.. Lathrop said. "was
not entirely new since similar con-
ference was held at Madison last sum-
mer, in which clergy of the Roman
Catholic church participated; and, in
the interim. an intergroup committee.
composed of representatives from a
score of churches and organizations,
including Roman Catholics, has been
at work throughout the year on plans
for the forthcoming conference.
"The rural problem of the churches,
IL is explained, is one which has puz-
zled the leaders of all denominations,
in consequence of which there was or
ganized at the University of WiscOn-
sin a general conference on the prob
lem, which had such marked success
through an. interchange of views, that
IL was determined to conduct SINH
lar conference this year. The prob
lem will embrace such subjects of gem
eral interest as the economies of COM
munity life. rural sociology. commun-
ity recreation, special interests like
boys work, community service, health
program and agricultural subjects"
Under the plans adopted last year.
and which will be continued at the
forthcoming conference, separate meet
ings Of the different church groups
were held. and then at stated inter-
walls. all Of their groups combined in
one general conference for the discus
sion of the common problems. 1t has
been recommended by>$he committee
appointed at last years conference that
a course in rural work for the clergy
be prepared to cover two or three
year cycle, whereby ,lergymen en-
gagged in rural work may return dur
ing successive years and that course
of training during the intervals be pro-
vided.

mind, the Gatti mind.
There probably has been no other
such opera ficld-marshal as he. He
has both vision and Imagination. and
coupled TO them vast amount of in
formation in every detail of the re-
spective departments of his business.
Because of this he has been enabled
10 keep the artistic and the financial
ends of the Metropolitan in close prox-
unity.
Sometimes we are moved to regard
Mr.. Gatti as overmuch of a Snowman,
and yet-how otherwise could the
Metropolitan be kept going?
There were expressions of doubt. in
some quarters. that this silent. UNI
obstrusive man would wish to go on
with his work. But he is pledged to
continue at his post until the summer
of 1929. We should not be in the
least surprised if he were to be there
when spring arrives in 1884.
The Art-Center Battle.
When the smoke clears from the
present battle between the forces who
want six acres of Central Park allot-
ted for an art-center and those who
object all concerned will know they
have been in fight
Mayor Hylan's adherentS, led by
City Chamberlain Berolzheimer. have
been pecking away at their objective
for something like two years. A few
days ago quick-action flank attack
ended in the board of estimate voting
thirteen TO three to introduce meas
ure in the New York State Legislature
authorizing the granting of the afore-
mentioned six acres of park property
as a site for a proposed S15,OO0,0 900
edifice to contain new opera house
and sundry other auditoriums and
space suitable for the fine arts.
Several prominent New York City
organizations are resisting this move
ment. They are reinforced by many
individuals: and il the engagement at
Albany gives a victory TO the Hylan
clan. then the matter will be taken
up in the courts.
An art-center is needed in New
York: little question as to that. But
dangerous precedent will be estab-
lished. il this ceding of park space
materializes, for other projects which
may not be of so excellent nature.

Concert and Opera.
A second representation of lie Roi

and Aida comprised the recent-week
operas at the Metropolitan. Nobody
tainted on the stage, nor did anything
else occur of an untoward nature. The
Metropolitan's wheels turned smooth
ly. there were large attendances, the
claque worked as industriously as
ever, and generally satisfactory time
was had by all.
Meanwhile there were two concerts
each by the Boston Symphony and
the Philadelphia orchestra, and sand

offered by the New York Symphony
and the Philharmonic forces.
Other organizations appearing were
the ElshucO Trio of stringed instru-

More excellent fiddle playing was sup
piled by Jascha Heifetz at his recital.
and also by Erika Morini. That ad-

gram that will be well remembered.
and just before he appeared we were
entertained by Maria Ivogun. soprano.
