Germany "llto catfish In the rowilc
tank" wriggled on the end df Dr. Wilbur
C. Abbott'u argument before the Ameri
can Academy of Political and Social Sci
ence thin morning. Doctor Abbott showed
how hla cosmic catfish had stirred up this
"codfish nation" and prevented ua from
becoming ovcrfat with material prosperity
by giving us something olso to do nnd
think nbout besides getting rich. Doctor
Abbott Is professor of history at Yale Uni
versity, which Is In the land of tho sacred
codfish, and hla application touched many
hearers from that same section.
Doctor 'Abbott's paper stuck close to tho
catfish simile. It served to keep IiIh audi
tors In thoughtful mood ns he proclaimed
that business nnd tho acquisition of wealth
were not the chief alms of mankind. The
effect of a larger armament will Increase
'taxation, ho declared, will open to n far
wider portion of our people a now pro
fession, and will turn men's thoughts
away from, complacent satisfaction engen
deredJy our long Isolation.
"Armaments and Cnsto" was treated
by Simeon Strunlisy, of the editorial staff
of tho Now York livening Post. "Pre-
naiedness.!' declared he. ."Is" not only a
I case of tho selfish Inllucnce of the muni
tion maker, but also of the Inllucnce of his
son at the university and his wiro in so
ciety. I am thinking of tho well-to-do
classes not merely as consciously favor-
lug war for tho nalte J)f profits, but as
. favoring tho growth of military Instltu
' tlona out of that spirit of caaXo which
among all aristocracies and leisured
1 classes the world over finds In the busi
ness of fighting the most congenial of pro
fessions. "Much stress upon hyphenlsm nnd
Americanism has created the uneasy feel
ing that the heavy dilution of tho old
stock by Immigration has weakened tho
spirit of national prida and national re
sponsibility. The facts arc, of courso, to
the contrary."

PREPAREDNESS CALLED
, CLASS ISSUE: ELEVATING
Preparedness Is a cluss lAsue, and a pol
icy of preparedness will Increase caste,
wero two points "emphasized by Simon
Strunsky, of the editorial staff of tho
New York Kvcnlng Post, In a paper on
"Armaments and Castu." read this morn
ing before tho American Academy of Po
litical nnd Soclnl Science In tho Chamber
of Commerce.
After a brief preliminary analysis of
the nocesblty for military establishments,
the speaker said:
"Tho division of opinion on tho subject
of preparedness la usually ncouuted for
by a difference in local t-plrlt nnd condi
tions. And It Is true that the geographical
factor affects the situation, with the two
seaboards uud especially the Atlantic
coast clg4i- for preparedness, and tho
middle west and south lukewarm or Indlf
, ferent. But within each section there Is
1 d. very appreciable gradation of senti
ment based on social class differences
"Thus preparedness takes on much of
'the aspect of a class Issue, using the
word 'clans.' In no rigid economic sense,
but au describing whom we usually call
the 'better people.' -It Is not only a ca3e
of the selllsh intlucnco of the munition
maker, but uImi 'the Influence of hid fcon
at the unlNCrslty and hla wlfo In society.'
I am not thinking merely of the well,
to-do classes as consciously favoring var
for tlto, nalte of profits, but as favoring
the growth of military 'Institutions out
of that bplrlt of caste which, among all
aristocrats and leisured classes the world
oven find.-! In the business of lighting the
most congi-nlul of professions.
"Caste distinction shows itself In a ec
ond element which enters Into the agita
tion for military Increase, This Is the
exaggerated feeling of separation between
our population of the old stock and the
people of foreign birth or of foreign
parentage. Much stress upon hyphenlsm
and Americanism has created the uneasy
feeling that the heavy dilution of the old
stock By Immigration has weakened the
spirit of national pride and national rei
sponslbility. The facts are, of cgurse, to
Jhe contrary,"

Police Court Chronicles
He was ragged. He was out of work.
Furthermore, he wa blind. Which com
bination Id bad enough for one individual
In these days of prosperity. It was no
ticed., however, that he went along rather
llvelyt for u man so afflicted. He seemed
to know the neighborhood of 40th street
and Lancaster avenue either by Intuition
or the benso of touch.
A few women who were out' marketing
dropped some pennies Into his yearning
palms, but the men who chanced by were
for some reason Indifferent. There was
something In his general appearance which
aroused a feeling of suspicion. Perhaps
It was Iho sign which adorned his neck,
It was he lid of a pasteboard box. on
which was scrawled "I Am Blind" In
wobbly letters. t
If a medal had been awarded for blind
pedeslrianlsm this man would have surely
won It. When he reached the car tracks
he skipped over them with as much agility
as his Bight-seeing bro'thers. He dodged
an ominous automobile with the grace of
a fawn. He barely escaped this Coroner's
inquest when a dashing maid In glad
spring raiment floated by. Her dainty
skirt was far enough from the ground to
display tin latest Idea In feminine hosiery,
From her there radiated the sweet scent
of healthy violets. Her appearance had
a magical effect upon the blind man. His
eyes suddenly opened and he stared at
the fair creature as she floated down the
btreet.
Instead of congratulating him upon hla
quick recovery, a few heartless persons
laughed. A cop happtned along and asked
for an explanation? ,
"I'm Joe Dlggins," said the man of the
sign. "Sometimes my eyes go back on
me, an' that's why I carry the sign."
The bluecoat took him before Magis
trate Stevenson.
"It's, the only way I could get any
money to get my breakfast," said Joe. "I
tried the plain touch stuff, but It, wouldn't;
go. Yer see, I haven't 3ny place to
sleep."
"Ob, yes, you have." said the Judge,
"you can sleep for Ave days In the couniy-prteoo.'
