(4) Collier's "Brlnnlnn; the War to England." (5) Saturday Evening Post "A Com munique" WAR War's jrrlp on tho magazines 1b beginning to loosen. Several of tho now February tnblcs of contents do not oven mention war tho Cosmopolitan, for Instance Others mnko only Indirect and hurried references. McCluro's has an article on submarines, and Tho World's Work makes a special number of "A Manual of National Defense," which Ignores tho European war as such, nnd do votes Itself to Bpeclal pleading for tho Ameri can militarist group, presenting Its argu ments, which nro based on tho hypothetical possibility of this country's being drawn Into war. In 20 of tho Rcnerat magazines which pub lish Berious nrllcles an well an fiction, thero Is a decrease of nbout 25 per cent, in the totnl number of wnr nrtlcles. Against about 40 artlclos each month slnco last September, thero nro nbout 30 this month. Tho chnrnctcr of tho wnr artlclo linn changed notlccnbly. Men who wroto ono or two brilliant descriptions for tho October nnd November magazines seem to liavo nbout written themselves out. Every ono Is look ing for tho blzarro and unusual, slnco all tho obvious things havo been written and rowrlttcn. While- famous wnr correspondents dashed off their first brilliant Impressions, morn subtlo vlBlons woro appearing to somo of our greater nrtlsts, and now nro gradually coming into print. John Gnlsworthy has wiltten a most frngllo and tender tribute to his country's ally in "A Lovo Lottcr to Franco" (1): wr'?nceI ne,ni,t"ul word! Beautiful landl What a proud soul lives In that France now racked nml tnrfn,u t ;.,".. ror whom, when you nro hard driven, tho wnmL"10 m ftChcal Is U tlmt ylt oro n woman, with a caress In your oyes nnd your S2.m,5 robM' wlt", notary In your clear, woman a smile, nnd that promise of eternnl consistency which man never offers? Is It that in you we feel, oh in no other land, a prosenco sucli as In some houses makes life assured and lovely; n presence Inhabiting1 the air of overy room, moro precious than Its garnlturo? Franco I When I think of you thero comes into my mind tho Imago of a llmo tree, in her spring garb of buds, dolicate, brenklng to llttlo gny leaves, ecstatic in each wind; in her summer dress so full, so perfumed with honey-colored blossoms; in her autumn robo of few golden leaves, flat on tho clenr air nnd trembling, trembling with each breath of tho day, and In her palo winter nakedness over tho samo essential goddess of a tree, perfect In form. Franco! It Is your power to seo that "soul in things" which wo call Ideals, to bring to llfo tho truths you havo Been nnd bo to concrete nnd shapo your vision that It becomes tho rock spiritual on which nations stnnd. Bccauso you nro tho living Incarna tion of your clear, unflinching spirit, wo others lovo you. Franco! You have sloughed oft tho gross and vainglorious flesh of nations! You nre tho flnmo In the night! In this hour wo seo and know you! Great and touching comrade! Clear, In vincible Frnnce! Today In your grnvo chivalry you wore never so high, so desirable, so true to Franco and to humanity. G. B. S. The Incomparable Anothor great Englishman, Bernnrd Shaw, has boon tho centro of floods and torrents of controversy over slnco the publication of his "Common Senso About tho Wnr." In tho last numbor of tho clever new English weekly, tho New Statesman, ho replies to somo especially violent Individual criticism to tho offect that he has accused Sir Edward Grey of "a policy of incredible deceit and treachery In flatly donylng tho exlstenco of his fighting compact with Franco and Rus sia ngalnst Germany and her Austrian and Italian allies." "What else could Mr. Asqulth have done?" asks Mr. Shaw hi his title (2): Now It is, of course, easy Tor tho Germans to cull this a policy of Incredible deceit and treachery, and for Professor Ramsay Mulr to echo them under tho Impression that ho Is only reducing mo to absurdity. But tho criticism aimed nt mo passes over my hend and hits Mr. Asqulth, bocauso tho facts nn I havo stated them nro now public and ad mitted, not to say gloried In. Tho defenco I tnko It If a thoroughly popular stroko of diplomacy needs defenco Is that every thing is fair In war (this Is tho fundamental objection to war), and that an armed peaco involves nil tho strategic dovlces of war, in cluding tho laying of ambushes and tho de ception, not only of tho foreign enemy, but of tho domestlo opponents of tho war. Something had to bo done, and tho im perialists havo done It according to their lights and subject to the conditions Imposed on them by our institutions, many of which nro rotten and obsolete, and our public opinion, much of which Is 111' Informed, ro mantic, conceited, silly and incapable of grasping tho problems of foreign policy, I havo not wasted tlmo calling Mr. Asqulth nnd Sir Edward Grey offensivo names for doing what I must havo done myself in their places If I were, like them, an Imperialist of tho old dynnstlc, power balancing type. I havo carefully explained what I should have done, being what I am. I have ex plained what the Kaiser might have done had ho understood the democratic forces now fermenting In tho world. Tho professor finds mo dreary and foolish, though he seems never to rend any other author. I conclude thnt ho has alternative views. Suppose ho were to tell us what they are. Why should I have to do all tho building and he nil tho stone throwing? British Btolldlty, or If you prefer, reserve, has long been a by-word In this country. Will Irwin delves into tho psychology of it In his "England, trjo Puzzle," adding tho sub title. "Are her neonle 1 v.oo-or Asieep;- Brave or Blind?" (3): All classes alike, they meet their cersonal crises in this war with that same lmpertur bablo spirit. "Father," said a young; city man at breakfast one morning1, "I've cone Into the London Scottish." "Bob." said his father, "It'a tlmo." An elderly Englishman was. concerning himself with a regiment of. home guards. His chauffeur, a blank-faced, mechanical English servant, drove him back from the grounds one day, "Sorry, sir, but I must leave tomorrow," said the chauffeur as they drew up at the, door. "I'm going with the Xancers," How It Feels to Be a Target English psychology is approached from an other point of view by Frederic Palmer, who, in "Bringing the War to England" (4), takes us among the people of Hartlepool, after the bombardment, to bear their quaint, Inconse quential comments on this undreamed of catastrophe: -' "We stayed in the house," said a work man's wife, "right in the kitchen. It was the Germans, wo says, and that's all. But when some soot come down the chjmnay We stood In the back door." She laid particular stress on the soot When soet cama down the chimney it was time for her retreat. Three bouses away a man an4 hip wije "were both killed. I made up my mind you'd a likely bo bit ona plac as another," said an old tntn, "and I Bat rl&ut down In inv chair bv thu window, I wasn't gsiug' to 1st ta Gennana tlic Magazines ecnro mo when 1 was geltlhg nd rheumallo nnd old I couldn't stand on rny lcgB." "I took tho children and started for Mm. Denklns', next door," enld another wbman, "and Mrs. DeakltiR, sho started at the sama tlmo, nnd wo mot, and wo Just stood there, our children around us, ntid wrung our hands nnd prayed." "A funny thing wnn a man who kept cry ing, 'Keep cool,' nnd every tlmo a shefl would go screaming over he'd double Up and put his hands to his stomach." Bald another man, "Thoso nliclla did sound like they was scooping all the flesh off your bones. Then that man'd tnko his hands off his stomach nnd wave them up and down and say, Keep cool,' till tho next fihell came." Heading war articles does not necessarily make ono a militarist, In fact, It might easily accomplish tho reverse. Certainly Its oyowltncsses are not over Impressed with Ha glory and honor. Corra Harris writes (D)f Ono of tho Innt things I saw In Franco was n dozon Red Cross orderlies and nursen having their broakfast In a comfortablo hotel. Just Inside tho door of thin room throe children ntood regarding them with hungry oyes. They woro In rags. Their faces wcro emaciated, nnd they wero trem bling with cold. Thoy wero orphans. Their fathor had been killed in Alsace-Lorraine. Thoy wcro not begging; thoy had not learned how yet; they wore Just learning how to bo hungry nnd pntlent. IJesldo tho "cannon fodder" which war makes of men It makes gutter straw of Innocent children. While much was going on In England lit tho namo of charity, Parliament was having tho mischief of a tlmo trying to mnko up lt mind whether or not tho guardians of tho poor law children Bhould dcprlvo them of "an egg for breakfast on Christmas morning as an object lesson on tho horroro ot warl" AMUSEMENTS ACADEMY OF MUSIC PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA I.norOLD HTOKOWSICI.
