Out Of the Past
New York Ttmesl

When Gen. Joseph Warren Keller retired the other
day from the presidency Of the Lagonda National bank
at Springfield. Ohio. persons startled at seeing that IA
miliar name again discovered that the general has al
ready passed his ninetieth birthday. It was 50 long ago
that Gen. Keller WAS . speaker Of the house Of represent
atives-betwecn 1881 and lS83-that his name Is UNI
Yet here he Is. just relinquishine the banking position he
has held for fifty years. and doubtless looking on at the
political show with interest and perhaps with that gift
for pungent comment which distinguished him.
He had already been ~practictns law for two years at
Springfield when the Civil war broke out. That war he
ended as a major general Of volunteers, and at the OPEN
ing Of the Spanish- American wAr, as was true In the case
Of his former e-ncmies-0enerals Fttshugh Lee Of Viz
ginia and Joseph Wheeler Of Alabama-he became q
major general Of volunteers again.

Artists and Entertainers
(Ttnael

Busy Mayor q. Ramon de Pe.edes OF Colon last week
called on the chamber Of cofnmNcc. the municipal coun-
Gil and the Rotary club for one volunteer each. He
wanted, he said, to form . "A Of three to decide
which Of the young women employed In Colon cabarets
are artists" Or which. merely female entertainers" VOL
unteers were not lacking.
Soon ingenious Mayor q. Ramon de Paroles had as
sembled his committee Of three" was imparting precise
definitions, minute instructions. Said he:
An artist may be defined ~ one who performs q
specially such - Z song. 4 dance, or Z comic number.
On the other hand an entertainer is one who sits With
guests at : table assisting In the buying Of drinks. You
will view the girls accomplishments and decide which are
entertainers and which are artists"
Casual. amused observers wondered II the distinction Is
worth making. Perhaps 1t Is IN Colon. BY edict Of Mayor
entertainer" will Be allowed to work In . Colon cabaret
without Z health certificate from Dr.. Carlos Beiberach.
Dr.. perAlta Ortceo. or d. Daniel r. Oduber. Bona fide
artists will sing. dance o. perform comic numbers un-
certified.

Note on a Species

The British sent their soldiers into the Rhine region at
tho end OF 1918. They arc about to withdraw. Thus
for nearly II years 4 great body OF British troops has
lived Inland o,-a foreign country. theoretically policing
It and providing the threat Of force necessary to insure
tho fuifillmcnt Of the punitive clauses Of the Versailles
treaty.
Eleven years Is a long time in this fast moving world.
That same II years has seen changes which could hardly
be matched in any equivalent period Of the worlds his
tory. It has seen tho substitution Of tyranny for democ-
racy in mere than half Of Europe. It has seen tho rise
OF new PHILOSOPHERS Of government and OF life. II has
seen proud Britain herself reduced from her position OF
prinacy to a sfaky nervousness and her government
taken from the hands Of the ancient class which held
it almost BY divine right and turned over to the party OF
the wage workers. 1t has seen conquered and cnslavcd
Germany emerge once more into the sunlight Of Geo.
nonlic power.
That II years has been an era, indeed. The young man
Of IS today. just beginning to assume the responsibilities
OF tho world. was q mere boy Of IA or IS when the troops
marched In. He can hardly know how or why they got
there. Brought up in tho hectic tempo Of the jazz age, he
can with difficulty visualize tho calm world which was
thrown into sudden uproar BY the events or 1914. He
cannot understand the long concealed bitterness which
broke out and overwhelmed tho world in his childhood.
The withdrawal Of the British troops must be to him
something as difficult to comprehend as the withdrawal
OF Caesars lceions in the fourth century.
And 1t may be wondered whether the British troops
themselves may not have forgotten just how it happens
they were stationed SO long on foreign soil. They marched
IN as conquerors, but they remained to sec their rcspec-
tive nations resume ancient friendships. Many. Of them
have forgotten, almost, the sights and the sounds Of their
own land. Hundreds and perhaps thousands Of them
have formed attachments in Germany. taken German
wives. bcgat German children and become to all intcnts
and purposes citizens Of the land they were to cnslavc.
And now they must march out into the changed world.
There Is a lesson in all this. We arc certain. But the
only moral NC can think Of at tho moment is that the
human race, IL it Is not composed OF idiots. is certainly
led BY them.

Not So Wild, After All

Moving pictures and novels In the last few years have
delighted in picturine modern college students as . gay,
uproarious and somewhat self indulgcnt crew. We have
heard many wild tales OF ~'petting,' drinking and what
not on the campus.
Good Housekeeping magazine recently decided to In
vcstigatc. It sent Rita 8. Halle out to look into the mat
ter at first hand. Miss Halle. having investigated thor
oughly, reports as follows:
There is far less drinking in the colleges now than
there was 4 decade ago. Not more than 4 tenth OF one
per cent OF the goods Of the country are guilty Of i'm
proper conduct. All but an Insignificant minority of
students. both men and women. are in college to study.
and have neither the time nor the inclination to dissipate.
You might bear that in mind the next time someone
rcgales you with wild stories OF flaming college youth.
A stable government Is one In which the people will
remain hitchcd.
