For all his jhard work, his adfe English outdoor life makes him stand out in sharp contrast to many an Amerioan on the wrong side of fifty. He te straight and spare and eturdy, his complexion fe like a well-colored if ightly wrinkled app!c, and his fringe of ail- ver-gray hair only makes his brown eyes younger and brighter by com- parison. The best conversational ice-pick I know is a pet heresy. So I imme- diately brought up one of Mr. Jerome's, after he had settled himself comfortably in the corner of a capa- cious leather sofa at the Prince George, where he is staying. “You've said,” I reminded him, “that America ts a disappointment to @ democrat, that it calls itself the land of the free and there ‘sn’t any freedom. Do you really mean this?” AME..CAN8 TOO PATIENT AND SUBMISSIVE, Mr. Jerome does. And it isn't a Joke to him, “You must judge the liberty of a country by what happens to the man in the crowd,” he sald. “And here in America no one seems to be looking out for the interests of the man in the crowd. You are the most patient and submissive people | ever seen in my life. “I don’t know how it is now, but when I was here seven years ago I saw crowds of men, women and chil- dren, loaded down with heavy lug- gage, compelled to stand on a plat- form and wait up to the last minute before the departure of their train. ‘Then all were forced to rush together for their seats, with no porters to re- Neve the frail young girla and old women of the bags they carried.

No Militant Violence, Thinks Playwright and Who Sees No Millennium When Women Vote. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. Jerome K. Jerome, who wrote “Three Men in a Boat,’ of an Idle Fellow” and “The Passing of the Third Floor Back,” has just long ago, and the blanket identification has more to justify {t than many another. When we stop to an- alyze our chuckles over Mr. Jerome's boating and bdicycling three men, we find that in his own quiet way the author {s turning Mark Twain's old trick. He is putting the preposterous in terms of the matter-of- fact, leading us on from one sly exaggeration to an- mountain peak of delightful absurdity. ‘emsmace’! Mark Twain, Mr. Jerome is acquainted with the humor Every Woman There’d Be “Idle Thoughts Mark Twain the, christened him we know it he has us topping a Also, like Who hasn't a mirthful remembrance choose such officials?” Mr. Jerome was smiling now, but a wrathful gleam shone tn his eye. “Then in the very busiest part -of the day I have seen whole lines of wagons and of pedestrians held up for two hours at a railroad crossing in the middle of the town. Why? Be- cause the officials deliberately select- ed that particular time to shift a lot of empty freight cars back and forth. “If a thing like that happened in England, or if even a single man were overcharged for freight by a railroad, letters would be written to the Times about it, questions would be asked in| Parliament, and the offending com- pany would be threatened with the loss of its charter or franchise, Here, apparently, nothing happens. You are) imposed upon and exploited and you suffer in silence, Is that freedom?" I wondered what Mr. Jerome would say if he learned of the bland pro cedings of the New York Telephone Company, the Yellow Taxioab Co: y and the Brooklyn Rapid Trans! leanwhile he was hammering home ‘his point in crisp, staccato English. “I talked recently with a New Eng- land lady who had just returned from Germany. Her chief impression was the remarkable liberty enjoyed by the dweller in the rman towns. 5! sald she didn’t know any one was ev 80 anywhere! And yet in o1 eyes the German restrictions on oe sonal liberty are intolerable, hi must we think of yours?" “It's because we hate to spare the time to make a fuss," I said. “We working so hard”-—— “Each of you hae the hope of milfionaire dangling be- eyes,” said Mr. Jerome. ur ealllien alls re too e rest of you.

If English life is to be judged by English novels, nearly every young man has five hundred pounds a year led on him.” ‘ell, in the novels some arrange- ment has to be made so that the he: can have time to make love all da: smiled Mr. Jerome. “But our parasite class, as Lloyd George called it, is large enough, And, for all your mil- Monaires, you haven't such awful pov- erty as we have, The east side in New York is bad, but it’s not so sordid as a London slum, There seems to be enough work for every one in America, The problem you have to solve is the bringing of the work and the workers together.” SEES NO BENEFIT IN WOMAN SUFFRAGE, Not long ago a suffrage play by Mr. Jerome was produced in London. So I asked him if he didn’t find real drama in the modern woman's Indus- trial and professional victories. Do you know, he’s rather pessimistic about them! “1 do not think that women to- one, eo In high places, but in other turies thie hae been true, life and work a @ WORLD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1914. ?

"Are women using sensational methods of attraction because men are leas easy to attract?” Mr, Jerome's brown ey: and he smiled broadly for almost the first time during the interview. "So long as men and women eat and sleep they will love,” he said. “1 don't know, no one of us knows, to- ward what goal the world is moving. It would be rather a bore if we dtd. tinction between the sexes except what nattre makes. Only I don't see that women can accomplish very much with votes. Men accomplish ttle enough.

I asked. “No, that’s due to a reaction from an age of Puritanism,” decided Mr. Jerome, “Of course, in the literature and drama of the Continent sex has alwaye been the most important con- cern; writers don't consider much of anything else worth bothering about over there. “A sense of humor hi kept England and taking sex too seriou now women seem to 9 clothes for the sole purpose of at- freeting jain costumes I've noticed In New York, with ‘my, had been shot as @ spy. eald, to understand how such an absurd rumor can have been stai It ts merely @ shameful untruth.’ ‘The Rev.
