A Call for Volunteers.

In a few days the people Of Wash
ington will be asked directly to con.
tribute to the fund for the erection in
Potomac Park Of memorial to those
men Of the District who served the
country during the Great War, a
white marble temple which will cost
100000 and will be q permanent and
an inspiring addition to the glories Of
the Capital.
For this canvass OF the people Of
the District, all Of whom have some
degree Of interest in this commemora-
tion Of the patriotic services of Wash
ington's participants in the war, 1t
is desired to secure the aid Of persons
who will cover the blocks in which
they reside. Today elsewhere in The
for this service.
In every block in Washington doubt
less lives q man who himself did his
Bit as one of the Districts soldier
resented by a son or brother or a
husband, and in many Of the blocks
live persons whose dear ones gave
their lives. They are asked especially
to participate in this work OF assur.
ing the funds for the erection Of the
memorial. It would be most meet
and fitting that the canvass should be
thus conducted by those who either
in person participated in the war or
members Of whose families wore the
uniform of thes United States in the
war. perhaps in death.
With every block in the Capital GOV.
cred by a canvasser who has a direct
personal interest in the fulflllment Of
the obligation to commemorate appro-
priately and beautifully the services OF
the country's defenders in war the
success Of this work will be fully as

Washington to contribute. Those who
volunteer to canvass their own in.

At the same time, there remains an
active party favoring a return to a
monarchical form of government. such
as existed from the reign of the First
August Emperor. $50 BIC, up TO the
revolution Of 1912. While the Chinese
are notably advocates of a let-alone
sposition-''laisser faire"-and are
ultra conservative, that conservatism
Is rather based on the traditions of
the more than 1000 years of autoc-
racy than on the last IA or Is years
of experimental republicanism. This
tendency is aptly expressed by DIR.
Frank Johnson Goodnow, president of
the Johns Hopkins University, in his
book, just issued. China, an Analy
sis" He says:
Social and economic conditions
favored the development of autocracy
for a number of reasons. In the first
place, the family system and the recog-
milton of the obligation of filial piety
encouraged habits of subordination.
The individual who, during his years
Of great vigor and energy. had with
out serious protest, yielded obedience to
the commands Of the head of the fam
lily was not likely, when he reached
maturity, to disobey the injunctions
Of those who were set in authority
over him. particularly when the ethi-
cal system which enjoined submission
to parental authority likewise required
obedience to the father Of his people,
the Son of Heaven, and to his rep
resentatives"
Nevertheless, the submissive Chi.
nese are credited by DIR. Goodnow-
who formerly served as legal adviser
to the Chinese Enperor-with having
drastic method of recall" of any
official who displeased them. They
imply ducked him in stream of
dirty water, which caused him such
humiliation that he lost face" and
consequently felt obliged to resign,
If not to commit suicide.
While they recognize all rulers as
holding power by divine authority,
yet when the ruler becomes arbitrary
or unsatisfactory the people interpret
that fact as an indication that divine
sanction is withdrawn, so that they
are justified in setting up another.

There is no other section of the
earth which has been farmed so long
--4 900 years at least-yet there is
none which produces as much per
acre. This is partly owing to- the soil,
but more to- the intensive cultivation.
Recent years have brought Occidental
enterprises into China, which, in time.
will industr1alize the people; as yet
there Is comparatively little work ex-
cept agricultural and home industry.
Under the Manchu regime, which end
ed only IA years ago, there was no
undermining progress-no building of
railroads, except a few miles built by
foreign enterprises: no postal service,
no educating of the masses, although
the literati were disttnct class of
students, and from the competitive
literary examinations came all civil
service officials. China is awakening,
but drowsily still.

The Bach Choir.

Tonight the music lovers of Wash.
ington have an exceptional oppor-
| tunity. The Bach Choir Of Bethlehem,
Pa, will at the Auditorium render the
! St. Matthew Passion, by the great
composer whose name they proudly
bear and whose works they have for
| twenty-five years been engaged in rem
! dering devotedly. The Bach Choir is
| the leading choral organization In
America. and on this occasion it will
! be accompanied by the Philadelphia
Orchestra, one Of the foremost organ
| izatiOns OF instrumental musicians of
this country. The combination is rare
and should be given the support neces-
sary to insure a financial success.
This occasion is in no wise a COM
mercial venture. The members of the
Bach Choir are not professional" in
the sense Of singing for profit. They
are giving their services, and are i'll
deed complimenting the people Of
Washington by appearing here on this
occasion. It is, however, necessary
that expenses be paid. The orchestra
must be compensated. The highest
hope of those who have sponsored and
Guaranteed the recital is that the pub
lie patronage will meet the bills. If
the attendance is not adequate to that
end a deficit must be met by the in
dividuals who have with commendable
public spirit stood as guarantors. If
on the other hand the attendance is
sufficient to yield a balance beyond ex-
penses, that balance will be held as
fund against future musical events Of
this character. 1t is probable that II
a deficit results from this present en-
gagement there will be no further
appearance Of the Bach Choir in
Washington.
This city is developing into musical
center. 1t can progress. however, to
that end only in the degree that the
music lovers Of Washington avail
themselves Of such opportunities as
the present to hear the finest Of
music, rendered by the most skilled OF
musicians. So it is to be hoped that
this opportunity will be seized to DEM
onstrate that the Capital appreciates
the best in this great art, especially
when it is offered in the spirit OF de-
yotion which -is the inspiration Of the
work of the Bach Choir.

A friend OF ours, n most careful
man, has harbored a suppressed de-
sire for many years to take Il disc
phonograph record and sail 1t over
the roofs of houses, just To- see how
far one will sail.
This dignifled fat man still threat
ems to try it, too, although he has so
far compromised with his family as
to say he will select u large open field
for the experiment.
There is another man who holds
himself in from smashing a mandolin
over the bedpoSt. All his life, he con-
fesses, he has wanted to take the neck

If he ever INDUCES in this expert
nent-which it is not likely he ever
will-he thinks he will choose an old
fashioned brass bed. with nice round
knob at the end of the post
Then. at a given signal. he will raise
his hand in the air, brandish the man
dolin as a Mohawk brave might have
a tommyhawk, and suddenly bring
il down with all his might upon the
shining brass knob.
What a splintering will be there,
my countrymen!
OF course, this gentleman is not
going to do so foolish q thing. any
more than thousands OF persons who
feel an inclination TO jump from
high place are going TO give in to that
desire.
These inhibitions are the residue of

common sense OF the animals, has

We do not walk away with the pot

The Netherlands Nourishment.

the appointment by Her Majesty
Queen Wilhelmina Of the Netherlands
of Jonkheer A. c. d. de Graen as
governor general of the Dutch East
indies, DR.. de Graeff has been min
lister Of that kingdom to the United
States for little more than three
wears past. It is probable that every
resident of the National Capital will
learn of his departure with regret.
It Is not so probable that so many
of them are fully sensible Of the ma
tional and international importance
and the authority of the new oftice
to occupy which he will journey half.
way around the globe.
Holland, as Americans and others
are apt enormously to call the King.
dom of the Netherlands, Is a little
country, barely discernible on a small
scale map. She owns, however,
far-away tropical empire Of a mag
nitude. a population. resources and
commerce Of which not many stop
to think. 1t is her proud possession
today because Of the seafaring and
colonizing ability Of the Inhabitants
of "The Land Of Pluck" She might
be compared to the small central
Office of a great producing plant, or
again to a brain nourished by the
reserve strength Of q powerful body.
The gravity of the task of ruling this
kingdom is indicated by the fact. that
Princess Juliana, heir to the throne,
now only in her seventeenth year, is
busy studying international law. con-
stitutional government, the relations
of a. sovereign toward the states of
the realm, and a variety Of kindred
subjects in preparation for the day
when she will need to be proficient in
them all.
Governor General de Graeff will
rule from Batavia, his capital, a. ter
ritory Of 733,642 square miles, rough
ly one.fourth OF the area of the
United States. Residing therein are
SO 900 900 persons, or nearly half our
population. The great islands Of Java,
Sumatra, Celebes. Flores and Timor,
most of Borneo, half of New Guinea,
the, Moluccas or Spice Islands, to-
gether with many smaller groups, will
be under his rule, for he and his coun-
Gil OF five not only represent the
executive power of the home gov
ernment. but also have the power of
passing laws and regulations SO far
as that power is not reserved to the
mother country. From this vast ter.
ritory are sent out to all the world
rubber. coffee. sugar. tobacco, tea.
tin, rice, indigo, spices and many
other necessities and luxuries. The
trade of these colonies with the
United States alone amounts to $780,
100000 a year.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
