Splain of New Haven rises up to tell a Waterbury audience that “Ireland is praying for the success of Germany,” and that that most dan- gerous of all hyphens in America is “the Anglo-Saxon hyphen.” Possibly so. Still we may note in fayor of the congeniality of the Anglo-Saxon hy hen in America that while it recog- nizes its breed it sternly refuses to demand partisanship in the cause of any country other than the United States of America.
