Library Notes. Why are the older novels, long &p- proved by the best readers and critics, so often neglected for the books of the hour? For several reasons. The classic novels were written for a leisured class. They are too long and discursive. for many present-day read- ers, but chiefly we are, and should be, intensely interested in the life of our day and generation, for fiction is one of its great interpretators. A lessef reason is that the book of the day is constantly brought to our attention by advertising, reviewing, library lists and shop windows. Why do not libraries spend more time clearing the dust from celebrated names and ‘less in lamenting their neglect? Jane Austen lived the most uneventful of lives in a period as ex- {citing as our own, but the cannon of Trafalgar and Waterloo find no echo in her pages. Her keen, humorous and well bal- anced genius found enough for her art in the lives of the country gentry who formed her circle. Her characters are sometimes bores, we know it because they bore us, she never needs to label them, but if we really care for .human beings and not merely” their clothes, furniture and muscular movements, we can hardly help liking Jane Aus- ten. Sir Walter Scott confessed “The big bow-wow strain I can do myaelt {but her exquisite touch is denied me.” Macaulay said that she dpproached nearest to Shakespeare as a portrayer of character and George Henry Lewes approves the judgment. Cardinal Newman advised a yearly reading as an aid to acquiring good style. If you have read Jane Austen and do not like her books you may bolster up your {judgment with that of Fitagerald, Charlotte Bronte, and Mark Twain. st Fuirness To National Guardsmen. (South Norwalk Sentinel). " A different attitude toward the militia is perceptible as the mnation begins to realize the important place occupied by such a body in our na- ftional scheme.of defense. A guards- man is no longer looked upon as a sort of crank with‘a harmless pen- chant for marching .in uniform and going camping. And when he asks now, for leave of absence from his employment in order to. attend the regular encampment or manoeuyres, the isn’t so likely to be ~threateped with the loss of his job. No longer ago than last year many a conscientious guardsman did lose his job for taking the time off to attend evening drill or summer camp to prepare himself. for his military duties.- The - just complaints of guardsmen, reinforced by. the spec- tacle of the Huropean conflict. and by’ Coningsby drawn into it, have made employers suddenly respectful of .their citizen |'soldiers, and willing to co-operate ,with them. A big Boston firm has announced its intention of encourag- |ing its men in every possible way Ito becorme membérs of ‘the. national jguard. The guardsmen of Tiffin, O, eport that without exception their mployers have expressed their plea- |sure in letting the men off for the state manoeuvres. The same dis- | position is manifested all over the | country. That’s the way it should be all i the time. The national guard, the ‘citlzen army, is the ideal defemsive force of the United States, the one most in harmony with .our .ideals, and if properly developed .most .suited Ifor the only purpase that. we need jan army for. % i | Ingrowing Age. (Providence Journal.) i i Every old or elderly man would do | well to take to heart this little .pass- 'age in the news from Paris detailing ithe debate in the chamber. of depu- ‘ties on the new French loan: “Premier Vivianai exclaimed -once jupon what he called M. Ribot’s suc- cessful efforts in behalf of workmen’s pensions. To this the minister of finance replied: “ ‘This is not the hour to recall the stages of my career. I have lived, I ' have acted, and in aging I try. not to | constrict my ideas.’ " | Age is subject to a constant tempta- | tion to ‘‘constrict its ideas.” It Joses not only in enthusiasm, but in self- ‘confidence and often in the common faith of humanity. The. futility of ,human endeavor becomes one of its watchwords. It looks back, not for: | ward. It - minimizes the scope and {value of man's possible accomplish- t ment. It draws in upon itself. It suffers from an ingrowing mind and spirit. i M. Ribot, one of the “elder states- | men™ of France, a veteran of many | and varied campaigns, finds himself at ‘length confronted in his latter years b\' the supreme emergency of his life. And instead of yielding to depression ‘and discouragement he simply says: {ideas.” i A man is young or cld according to | his success or failure in combating the | influences against whi¢h the { minister of finance has so successfully | striven, | | There are 93,002 holders of record | of Pennsylvania railroad stock. | man, woman and child will belong to “privileged classes” are growing fast, and the time may come when every thé’ income tax aristoctacy—Brooklyn Eagle. the sobering possibility of our being| | “In ageing I try not to constrict my | irench | Our | Wumnmlln'u- z @nq.(bnmh!.nll i de R A ‘Dyestaff Industry in America. (Springfield Republican.) 1f there is good foundation for the report that a movement is on foot | for the creation of a huge dyestuff |industry in this country, to serve ine | eeds both of the United States and ]the group of nations comprising the allies, the development s nf large Industrial importance. Manufactur- ©rs in the United States and other countries chut off from the German dryestuff supply are seriously handi- capped. America has the raw ma- terlals and can probably command the necessary force of expert chem- ists to solve the difficulty, but capi- talists have hesitated to invest large Sums in an industry that probably would be subjected to the fiercest kind of competition from the Ger- mans as soon as the war was over. This objection would be overeme if United States manufacturers eould feel assured of a large and steady trade in dyestuffs in England, France and other countries that now feel the punch. It is reported that such foreign manufacturers are willing to make a contract for a long term of years, provided to create a dyestuff in- dustry and supply the world with the supplies it so much needs just now. The American government, it is be- lleved, would support such a plan. If this report is correct it shows that big concerns of dyestuffs are convinced that German secrets and German skill are not essential to a successful dyestuff industry. This may be a golden opportunity for the United States to open up a business that will be permanently profitable. while achieving industrial independ- ence in a fleld where it has hitherto depended entirely upon Germany. At any rate the efforts mentioned will be worth watching. The Reckoning. (New Haven Regster.) The next few weeks are crucial in at least .two important respecs af- fecting the situation in Burope, Within that time it should be lp- parent whether or not the Germans can really break Russia’s offensive military power, and whether there is to be an actual end to the .« de- plorable labor conditions land which have hitherto been re- sponsible for heavy disaster to the allies. 2 Brilliant' .as the German drive across Galicia has been, if it has no other results than to push baeck Russian lines to a point just yond Austrian soil, the 8o far as any ultimate decision in the war is concerned, is negligible. The present position of advantage consists in the fact that the main body .of Russian'troops lies 'well to the westward of the mic forces occupying postions fawrable to ~an encircling movement ‘they have the power to execute it. If success- ful, not dhly could Warsaw be cap- tured, but the Russian army could be practically destroyed: On this chance Germanw will undoubtediy stake every effort within her re- source. The disloyalty of British work- men since the war began thas been a shame to the race which gave them birth. For years they have been cod- dled and played to by politicians. For years they have been breeding a class sense which foreign observers have viwed as a symtom of decadence in British blood and a menace to the future of the Empire, Labor leaders have promised Lloyd George to bring immedijate re- form. Can they accomplish it against the handicaps of fixed habit amd ‘he curse of intemperance? Unless they do acapbmplish it there can only be shuddering for that which is to eome. It seems evident enough thpt so far as can ‘be humbly foreseen the final issue of the great conflict hinges di- rectly upon the stamina of Russia in the east, and of England in the west. If either fails, mothing else will count much. Both are being put to their termining test. Before August one may know to resonable certainty if the Germans are to win, or if the allies are to win. de- The Theater. (Christian Science Monitor.) That there is to be a great change in the theater is the - conviction of some of the most expert students of the: subject. No two at present en- gaged in discussion of the matter are agreed as to what character the change will assume. All seem to be ynited on one point, however, that the stage set- ting, as this generation has known it, must be superseded by something en. tirely different, and, above all things, by something better. But when this point is reached it is necessary to re- trace steps and ask what will be the nature of the theater of the future. And until this can be satisfacterily an- swered the question of the future of stagecraft as well remain in abeyance. Peace Talk. (Norwich Bulletin.) ! Even though there was only the best of motives back of the peace talk | and efforte in connection with the present war it is quite evident that it is a long way off Despite the fact that the kaiser says that peace could be declared at anytime if he said so. Miss Jane Addams finds as the re- suit of a visit to'and a discussion with | authorities of the belligerént nations | that there is no disposition to talk peace. There is a determination that war shall be carried to a decision. | This only bears out the statements { which have been made by Co.. E.

There s plenty of evidence of de- termination and hope on both sides, There has been a great expenditure of money and a tremendous sacrifice of life but the war hae not been waged to a point where either side can enter into an agreement that would be sat- isfactory or that would prevent a re- ° H, currence in the near.future. There are demands which either side would make at the present time which could = not be obtained and any attempt to reach such an understanding now would simply mean an armistice to be followed by a resumption of hostil . ities. This is so thoroughly recog- nized by all coneerned that none is ready to listen to peace talk Drop the Hyphen. (Louisville Post.) Leét us drop the hyphen so we may understand each other better; there are no longer any German-Americans among us, only Germans on one side of the line; Americans on the other. There is no German-American alli- ances it is only a German alliapce, an alliance of certain sojourners in America with Germany, from which their ancestors fled to find liberty in | America. 4 Sunday at memorial services = for Federal soldiers who lost their lives in the Civil war, the orator, the Rev. George H. Froh, the departmental chaplain of the G. A. R., began by saying he was born in Germany sixty - years ago: “there is not a drop of: blood in my veins ithat is not Amer!- can” Dr. Froh drew a striking con- trast between the volunteer soldicrs fighting for prineiple and serfs driven to battle, making the prophesy that at the end of the war royalty will be rejected and the people of HEurope will take charge of their govern- ments. At the graves of the soldiers who died in our war with Spain the ad- dress was delivered by the mayor of Loulsville, himself a native Amerigan born of German parents, loyal to the best traditions of his ancestors, but loyal above all things, loyal over all to the traditions and the institutions of America, his own fatherland. These are the Americane all Amew ‘ica can delight to honor. Headlines Tell Story. (Bridgeport Telegram.) “Tragedy one year ago,” save paper headline, “furnished pri plunged 11 nations into war.
