So that when America caught up the arrogant challenge and called to her defenders to take the field, Martin Erlwein was a citizen in name only, with Teutonic stubbornness voicing the opinions that- damned him. The process of a just and liberal naturalization law has taken his once-prized papers from him. For the remainder of his life this man will walk a clouded pathway, in all probability. It is difficult to moral iza. to speculate, concerning the blame and where it rests. Martin Erlwein was a failure In American ization, that much is certain. But to some ' extent his neighbors born on the soil, were also failures. For surely there must be some method of so expressing, in daily life and letters, the principles of our patriot Ism that none can misunderstand them and that all must accept. There must be some means of indelibly in scribing on the thought of the can didate for citizenship the sacred val ue of the obligation he undertakes. We do not know what it is unless it is th 1st that every utterance at va riance with our national conscience should be given the lie at the mo ment it is heard. That too easy toleration of opinions inimical to our own tradition-s and affairs should be replaced by aggressive and logical championship. It 1b too late to save the admirable material for citizenship in the caae of Martin Erlwein. He claimed the evacuation may lead it to abandon communist plans. supply.

Of fifty-five noteworthy men thus far. chosen. only four have been inventors. These are "Robert Fulton, Samuel F. B. Morse and Ell Whitney, who won admittance in 1900, and Elias Howe, who was not chosen until 1916. Of a total of 120 who have been nomi nated but not elected, only eleven forts, but he yielded to duty to his country at Kitchener's solicitation. When on May 14, 1915, it was de cided to reinforce the fleet at the Dardanelles in support of the army, he would remain silent no longer and "This is the much to be regretted' passing of a very gallant gentleman!" raid Spain. To the Spaniard the bull ring is a stage of heroism, where mighty hearted men meet animals no less courageous and stake their lives on the issue. "We give the bull a chance to die heroically," explains the Spanish novelist, Ramon Perez de Ayala. "Americans seem to think that a bull should always end unro mant fcally from a sledge-hammer blow between the horns in some Chi cago slaughter-house." The points of view will not amalgamate, though resigned. Many of the "hush-hush" I there is admitted logic in the Span ships which he was building had been , diverted to other services, others were abandoned and his Baltic scheme .was abandoned. He has since been the target of venomous at tacks, to which he retaliated in his book with stout, sailor-like blows, but the estimation in which he is held may be Judged by the honors paid him in Westminster Abbey.

The typesetting machine immeasurably multiplied facilities for the spread of knowledge and the enlightenment of the world. Authors now far outrank all others in the Hall of Fame.

He was the builder of the modern navy, and to him is duw the power which kept the Ger man high sea fleet cooped in harbor and which sent it scurrying home from Jutland when it ventured to give battle. Fortunately Fisher lived long enough to publish his "Memoirs and Records," in which his critics are answered, mainly by his friends, who were able to speak with author ity. They leave the reader with little doubt that, but for Fisher, Germany would have wrested naval supremacy from Britain and would have been free to challenge the United States to decisive combat. Fisher wrote in the forcible style ln which a sailor talks. He worked his way up by sheer merit in "active sea service, then was' called ashore to use his experience in revolutionizing the navy, which he saw transformed from the wooden sailing ship to the dreadnought propelled by turbines using fuel oil. He gives this graphic description of his hard training: I entered the navy penniless, friendless and forlorn. While my messmates were having jam. I had to fro without. W"hi:e tneir stomachs were lull, mine was erten empty. I have always had to flight like heli, and fighting like hell hue tmule me whaf. I am Hunger and thirst are tne w. to heaven. Modernizing of the navy was bet- gun by 'Fisher as first sea lord in 1904 and he was. the driving force in overcoming the opposition of the fos sils. He built the dreadnought ln record time, many other ships of that type and the battle cruisers; he scrapped 160 ships, he established the naval war college, he democratize'd the naval service and made every of ficer learn engineering, for he real- ion.

The decision of an Illinois judge that "a hotel Is entitled legally to the tips given to its employes" removes some more of the underpinning from the tipping system. It shows the customer what he is really doing when he thinks that he is paying for exceptional service. The case in which the decision was given was a suit brought by a hat-checker to re cover $3339, which he alleged had been given him by customers of th place, but which he had been forced to turn over to his employers. "Noth ing," said the court, "would please me better than to decide against a hotel which profits by tips given its , employes; unfortunately, I have no law to back me up in such a de cision." The public have a recourse, though diners downtown are ..slow to avail themselves of it. Nobody seems to hesitate nowadays over declaring a strike or a boycott, with the lone exception of the brigade of reluc tant tippers. But even these will take heart from the circumstance that a monthly pcribdical has been started in their interests. It is pub lished in New York, and it has for its motto the declaration of Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, "Millions for delense, not one cent for tribute." Despairing of attaining the ideal through legislation, it is conducting ish contention if one chances to be a Spaniard. American ; critics will reply that the bull has no choice in tho manner of death, no wit to-make the decision, else he might bellow for a demise less cruel, a death more expeditious, though the splendor of the arena were cheapened to the prosaic, drab efficiency of the pack ing plant. What the Spaniards might retort, with more effect, would be that full- blooded sport selects its sacrifice In America and elsewhere as it does ln the land Of the Dons, and that the Romanesque fancy for sanguinary thrills is not peculiar to Spain alone. They might point to our prize ring, as doubtless they do, to our motor races, our gridiron classics to a score of sports that take their toll with more or less regular spectacu laiity. They might remind us that I.uther McCarthy, world champion ln the lists of heavyweight pugilism, drew his ticket to eternity with one murderous clout from the glove of Arthur Pelkey, and that this fatality of the prize ring Is among the many. Turning to our newspaper files and consulting the front-page headlines, they could demonstrate with ease that automobile and v motorcycle races are scarcely successful and cer tainly are not typical, unless each claims its human sacrifice to the grim gods of sport. The clement of risk cannot be entirely dissociated from sport. If It were to be eliminated the epic feats of clean athletics would recede to mere " May-day gambols, pretty enough but wholly incapable of arousing enthusiasm. And while the American .sport realm has its fatall ties there is a marked difference be tween these incidents and those of the Spanish bull ring. Death in American sport is always accidental and Is not the incentive for attend ance. In Spain it is a concomitant of the bullfight and every senor and senorlta anticipates and applauds the bloody finale. El Gal 11 to dares the horns once too often. Just as everyone knew he would, and lakes of Spanish tears do not disprove the contention of the outlander that an essentially grim and sanguinary pas time reached its emotional climax ln a human death BY - rRODl'CTS OP THB TIMES Geographer Reveals Baptismal Font f America In Voices Mountain. While millions sing "America," com paratively few know the origin of the name. Its history and Its sym bolism are described in a communi cation to the national geographic so ciety by John H. Finley, as follows: "'America,' a name that was first heard on the planet, or at any rate first put on a printed page, according to th best authorities, in the village of St. Pie. among theVosges moun tains, in the east of 'France, often called the baptismal font of America. "On a pilgrimage to this valley of I the Vosges some years ago, I found still standing. the cloisters where the scholars had lived who wrote 'The In troduction to Ptolemy's Cosmography, the book in which it was suggested that the name America' be given to the newly discovered fourth conti nent, und who prepared the now fa mous map on which the emerging continent was identified. There, too, I found the plte of the old printing shop, and the house Itself in which the printer, Jean Basin, had lived. "At the beginning of the war the Germans had occupied it, and in 1917 their guns looked down upon it from the "blue line of the Vosges." Th cloisters, close under the mountains, I found in a recent and second pilgrim age, had not been damaged, but there were many houses that had been de stroyed by shell or by wanton fire. though Jean Basin's was still stand ing. But the printer, who a few years ago reproduced ln facsimile the fa mous book, lad had both legs shot off while crossing the bridge one day between tho two parts of the vil lage. 'Alas!' he said, when he learned that he must die. "alas!! I shall not be the first to carry flowers to Strass- burg!" For h! had dreamed of the day when Strassburg. where rests one of the original copies of this fa mous book, again would be withi French borders." Our Insignificance. By Grace E. Hall, They say that the Lusitanla may be raised from her grave on the ocean floor that it is practicable to hoist the gloomy hulk, with her freight of death and memories, to the surface and the sunshine, where sho floated when the torpedo drove home. What purpose would be Served ln breaking the sleep of those who rest with the Lusitanla the great shin that suffered outrage and be came a' cause celebre, a symbol of retributive justice against Germany? Irrevocably she should be the prop erty of that very sea that swallowed submarines.

He quietly and gradually concentrated the fleet ln home waters, bo quietly that the world was startled when Mahan said that 88 per cent of the guns of the British navy were aimed at Germany. He foresaw the important part that submarines would play in the war, and he built them by scores. He had equal foresight as to aircraft and mines anr1. applied himself feverishly to overcome tbe "fools and asses," as he called opponents of change. In overcoming, resistance and in saving money from useless, things for those which he held imperative he was, to use his favorite adjectives, "ruthless. relentless, remorseless.' He was displaced in 1910 and in the next four years saw much of his work undone. He hal foretold Ger many s use of the submarine so ac curately that his description, written in 1904, would have fitted many ac tual sinkings of merchant ships. The war no sooner began than the need of him was felt and he was called back on October 30, 1914, the day before Cradock's ships were sunk off Coro nel. He immediately sent his pride, the battle cruisers Inflexible and In vincible, which "went 7000 miles without a hitch in their watertube boilers or their turbine machinery" (which he had introduced) "and ar rived at the Falkland islands almost simultaneously with Admiral von Spee and his eleven ships" and sank all except one of them. But for that victory, he says, Germany would have made the Falklands a naval base, would have cut off the nitrate sup. ply from Chile, would have com. manded the Pacific and South Atlan- j tie oceans, would have sunk the Brl ish squadron off the Cape of Good Hope and Botha's transports going to conquer Southwest Africa and would have exterminated British trade. Fisher's strategy was summed up by him in these words: War la tha essence of vlo'ence. Moderation ln War Is Imbecility. Hit ftibt. Hit hard. Keep on hlttlnsr. In accord -with these precepts he prepared a plan for the invasion of Germany by co-operation between the British navy and a Russian army. With the approval of Winston Churchill and Lloyd George, he be gan to build at record speed a great fleet of 612 ships of various types, which, led by five fast battle cruisers, wa to have forced the entrance to the Baltic sea, taken a Russian army of a million men to the shallow coast of Pomeranla and landed it within 90 miles of Berlin. Thus he planned will come when legislation will be unnecessary. The estate of a "bellhop" who died in San Francisco the other day has been appraised at $28,775. No heirs have been found and It Is likely that it will escheat to the state. It would be Interesting to know how much of the $28,775 was obtained for service foi which the patron also paid the bellboy's employers. But if the fate of tipping hung on the evidence against it, it would have succumbed long ago. We await with curiosity the outcome of the new movement to abolish the practice. We have our hopes but our doubts, also. ZEST OF THE ARENA Upon the spectacle of the Spanish bullfight the northern races have looked with shuddering disapproval. They cannot comprehend the deriva tion of pleasure from a contest of blood, that infallibly must end with the butchery of the bull, goaded and tortured to blind rage, and not in frequently with the dramatic death of the matador beneath the venge ful thrust of the deadly horns. The color and pageantry of the episode are to the foreigner in Spain or Mexico, shadowed to eclipse by blood spilled in brutality. Disem boweled horses scream their agony from the splotched sand, a picador is tossed to mortal injury as his mount fails to evade the charge all is dust, death and confusion, set to an accompaniment of laughter and cheering. If the outlander feels the spur of any sentiment other than sickened disgust it is one of parti sanship for the beast. "So Nero laughed," say the travel ers as they study the incomprehensi ble temperament of the Spaniard at his bullfight. And it is true that the bull ring is more than a reminder of the Roman arena, where gladiators buffeted and slashed their comrades to defeat and death, giving the coup de grace at the mandate of the lustful spectators; where naked men their thews playing and rippling with alert, desperate resolve, met the Nu midian lion with the sword. The con troversy is centuries old and is no nearer to mutual understanding than when it began. It wanes to rise again with each new episode of the bull ring. Joee Gomes, beloved In Spanish sport as El Gallito, or. "the little cockerel," died in the provincial city of Talavera, Spain, on May 16 and with his passing the conflict of Spanish and outland opinion surged up again. El Gallito was a veritable maestro of the bull ring a youth of twenty-five years, skilled in tech nique and keen of wit, with a thrust that bad butchered 1430 savage an tagonists. This in eight-years. Spain and Madrid Idolized "the little cock, erel." And Spain mourned, with' Latin extravagance, when the black bull of Talavera caught the intrepid gladiator in a single slip and drove its keen horns through his pros trate body. "This is the toll of the i bull ring!" exclaimed, tho outlandero. cruised again. And an unimpaired memory of the Lusit&nia is worth the keeping. I've stood in silence underneath the sky. When not a cloud was drifting o'er the blue. The sounds of day all hushed, tha breeze a sigh.

There is a short acreage of grain this year, but a fine crop so far as it goes. The consumer will not omit his regret that there could not have been a big acreage and a big yield at the same time.

The alacrity of democrats in Ore gon In responding to appeals for money to carry on the state cam paign will be wonderful to those who know the democrats who have the money. It may be Vermont and it may be Tennessee, but suffragists who can count know that it, was the repub lican states that overwhelmingly made the amendment possible. How do you know that It is so? "A certain party told me." With this introduction of a sadly kicked-about -loun. our old frlena ."parly," the purist of the Columbus Dispatch lectures interestingly on the proper use thereof. Th fi.rprnine conversation was overheard recently, narrates the Dis patch. The second speaker should have said: "A certain person told me not "a certain party." This use of the word "partj- for person" is quite common, but it is condemned oy all authorities on jing Ush grammar as being incorre't. Some, indeed, go as far as to call i. vulgar. It should be remembered, howevei, that the word "party." meaning an individual, has a proper place in Eng lish. We may ipeak of "a party to a contract," or "the party of the first part." or "the parties to" the mar riage." Wooley's Handbook of Com Dositlon" gives the following sentence as an example of the correct use of the word: "The parties to the mar rlage were both young." The follow lng Is given as incorrect: "The, party who wrntn that article must have been a scholar." When King Solomon in all his bore dom cried. "Triero is no new thing under the sun." cigarettes, chewing gum, the thermos-bottle and the tnapper" for fastening ladies' frocks (a-n Indispensable thing when one has several hundred wives) were yet to be invented, writes Oliver Herford in Leslie's. So far as wo can learn, had Solo mon, who knew and could address ln its own language every flower and tree in existence, ever heard of the Tuttl-Fruttl tree? There Is to my certain belief only one tree ln txlstence aaswering to that name, and I christened It myself. I am Its godfather. In the heartrnost heart of the fruit ful parad.'se of New Jersey stands a small but ancient stoned cottage that has come to regard me as Its lord, and on Squire Williams's estate, whose verdant acres lie just outside my gar den fence, grows this Tuttl-Frutti tree. Once it was a young apple tree. It Is still young, but as the result of series of sap transfusions it is also several other kinds of tree, and when It grows up it will rear appiea. quinces, two kinds of pears, peaches and, I believe, plums almost every thing In fact except watermelons. It's quite absurd, of course, but just suppose the tree of knowledge ln that first garden had been a Tutti-Frutti tree instead of an apple tree! With seven separate kinds of fruit to choose from, all equally forbidden and, for that reason, equally desir able, how could Eve ever have de cided which one to pluck? And with Eve's hesitation sin would have ben lost to the world! Let us give thanks that the tree of knowledge of good and evil was not a Tutti-Frutti tree! HOMESICK FOR MOTHER. Tes. I'm homesick for mother today. 1 hough the grave closed between us long ago. There are many tender things Td like to say. And I would kiss her hands and temples gray. And stooping down I'd whisper deep and low: I miss you. Mother, O. I miss you so! And I am sure the words would sweetly fall Upon her heart Just homesick, that is all! I'm tired out with the big game of things. The heat, the rush, the feverish ways of men; My brain Is tired, I'm sluggish with the stings Of human scorpions. Oh, to put again My head upon her knee as I did when My young heart's wounds unto her love appealing. Closed their red springs ln her soft touch of healing And her dear words "I understand it all": Just homesick for Mother that's all. I've had my little share of praise and blame; My hands have not been emptied all of gold; A slender spray of myrtle binds my name. And many of my thoughts have been retold; And love has filled my breast all it would hold; I've traveled far by land and ocean's foam. All tribes my kindred and all spots my home; To sea you,"' Mother, I would give It. all. For I'm homesick for you homesick, that's all. The home brewers say ln one breath that theirs is better than the real article and in another that com mercial brewing ought to be restored. There Is a flaw somewhere. It is a curious thing that these famous people take the trouble of going to faraway states to get their divorces. Publicity pursues them just the same.

Searchers have recovered one arm of the man who went, over Niagara Falls ln a barrel. They'll never find his brains. As the shade of Alexander Pope observes the belated financial tribute of modernity, as evidenced in the cur rent rates for famous manuscripts, the departed author of "Lo, the Poor Indian" must feel that some portion of his anthropological . sympathy might well have been reserved for himself. The .New York World notes that three books of Pope's "Essay on Man," in the manuscript, have just been sold ln Philadelphia for J55,000. This is undoubtedly a great improve ment on the terms offered by the poet's publishers. Still, It would hardly have paid Pope to wait 187 years for th advance. He had in 1733 a sufficient fortune to assure his personal independence and to en able him to afford the luxury of vis its at great houses. And little did he dream of a nation growing up across the Atlantic to furnish a market for 40 musty pages of his handwriting. Modernizing some historic utter ances that have gone ringing down the corridors of American fame, the Boston News Bureau presents revised versions In a satirical thrust at the spirit of the times.

MOTJJf- BEYOXD THE SHINING TAIXS. Here I am a-sitting, watching, ever watching. The golden sun a-sinking, in the western sky; Thinking of my sw.eetheart, far be yond the mountains. Far beyond the mountains where spring will never die. Here I am a-longing, a-longlng to be with her. In tbe land of sunshine, by the Pa cific sea; Where the shining mountains stand in majestic splendor. And in the evening sky, a lark's sweet melody. All my soul is aching, aching for a homer ire. Deep in a sweet scented valley Til build a little nest. Redwood and green spruce shall be our leafy bower. Beyond the snow-capped mountains of the golden west. CARL FRANKLIN BANGEKT. SUMMERTIME. The gentle winds are singing In the happy summertime; The joyous Dirds are winging With their notes of love sublime; The air with rapture's ringing In glad forest chirp and chime; Earth's music's heavenward springing In the happy summertime. But sweeter than the bird's song In the harjpy summertime. Than harmonies of nature Is the voice of love divine. And ringing through the whole year With melody sublime. Love's song brings back the beauty Of the happv summertime. EMILY GRANGER. THE HILLS. Blue and green they lie. The guardians of the old world's tale: Sentinels, silent, majestic and high. Hiding toe path from the eairth to the sky. Stretching cold, and endless and pale. Seek'st thou great secrets, heart of mine? They lie in the hill's embrace; Not in the man-world, but the line Of blue-gray hills; there thou and thine May learn to know God's face. LOIS SMITH.
