ANONYRIOUS CITIZENS THE object of an Investigation Is to find out something that everybody nt ready knows. Now that tho vice Inquiry Is well under way, It Is possible to rovlew Its net results as If It wcro n thing of tho past. Nay, euch nn Inquiry Is even moro blzarroj It starts at the end of the problem and tediously works Its way backward to tho boglnnlng of it. When It gets to tho beginning, that Is, tho root of the evil, It drops It all. The result Is that, whereas everybody already knew that a certain percentage of tho police forco was corrupt, they aro now to be provided with a few meaningless names of culprits to fill In tho blanks In tho story without helping the plot. The names of a handful of vice-mongers nro mado public, as if for tho sole purpose of pro vldlng neighborhood gossip for tho under world. This investigation, as Its predecessors were and Its successors will be, is called "sweeping." Sweoplng Implies that tho thousands of person who make possible tho various ovlls under fire aro to bo named. But a. glunco nt tho newspapers reveals tho ludicrous paucity of names named. On tho sldo of tho angels thoro como forward Mr. Qlbbonoy, of course; Mr. Rotan nnd Director Wilson, ox-ofTlcIo stars In tho cast, and a hnlf-dozcn social workers. Tho villains who are brought forth aro only a fraction of the Tender loin traffickers. Certain ones nro singled out and aro marshaled about several times llko a stago army, which, by walk ing around und around a ploco of sconory, seems llko thousands Instead of tho scoro It Is. Thoy are symbolic figures. Mr. Olbbonoy Is a symbol of a certnln modo of thinking. Ho reappears from tho shadow nt thoso tlmos not as a citizen, but ns a point of view. Really, tho anonymous nature of the situation Is not rellovcd by tho naming of a few names that evory ono remembers nnd of a few othors that overy ono will forgot. Yet names aro what nro wanted, and this fact seems to havo dawned on tho lnvostlgators. A list of owners of guilty houses has been asked for. Who owns tho property whero tho pollco clubs wero wleldod nnd from which tho men nnd woman wero driven Into tho patrol wagons tho other night? Whoro Is ho at Nowport? What 13 his opinion nbout all this? What 13 tho opinion of othor ultlmato owners of tho Tondorloln? When did they last visit tholr properties personally? Do thoy consider tho doublo rents thoy obtain from shady tenants a permanent economic condition? Then thero aro tho members of tho various reform associations that como Into promlncnco only when thoro Is ono of theso Investigations going on tho Law and Order Society, tho Travelors' Aid So ciety, otc. Who aro they? Aro their societies growing In momborshlp and are thoy preparing now to como forward to Identify themselves as leaders In a great permanent campaign, or are theso socie ties all one-man or one-woman affairs whoso survival by vicarious activity de ludes tho rest of tho community into tho belief that all Is well? Tho various em ployers', business mon'3 and labor organ izations certainly como into contact with effects and causes of tho vlco now under probe. Aro their officers to como forward as named and known citizens to con tribute their share of information and advice In solving tho problem? Of tho charity organizations and children's aid leagues, are only tho secretaries respon sible citizens and tho presidents and rank and file mere donors of funds? A great mountain was moved in the transit fight because n couple of thousand prominent citizens made It their business to come out into the open, with names and addresses given and printed, day after day, while tho fight was on, with their Intentions and plans and suggestions frankly expressed. Another great moun tain and Its shadow hangs over the city. It can be moved and if only an inch, that Is a great deal, considering the diffi culty of the task 'by the same kind of candor and publicity. FAILURE AT VERDUN HAS Verdun gone Into the post tense? Tha Brandenburgers "of Douau mont fame1' aro officially on the Sommo front, A few bombardments continue on the Meuse, but the offensive la as fre quently French as German, and the ter rible alege which lasted since February seems raised at last. The relief to France must be great, for human energy could not have held out much longer, For Germany Verdun became a failure after the first weeks, since the price was so high. The failure la made mora des perate by the freshness and vigor of the French attack in Plcardy, by the ap parently unlimited quantities of ammuni tion tho French are ready, even now, to expend. Tha attacks of tha Allies some times go on together, sometimes alter nate, but Germany is never at rest. Vaguo reports of lack of shells in Turk ish Armenia and of Bulgars and Turks coming to the western front indicate that tha struggle which spread so rapidly a year ago will draw in its radius, and that in the small clrclo which Includes tha two Central Empires .decision will ba reached. For a month there las been no hope of victory In Germany. It will take many months before Germany can convince herself and tho world that aha WSt to h Oafeated, Tom Daly's Column Who's the Philistine? IT) WILL be remembered that wo wero talking yesterday about tho beRhfiilng of tho Phlllstlno and wo had como to that part of our story which dealt wU'.i tho dissolution of tho partnership botwoen Mr. Harry Persons Tabor, the founder, and Mr. Elbert Hubbard, the financier. T.ie split came In February, 1390. At this tlmo Walter Blackburn Hnrto was publishing In Boston a little maga lino similar In form to tho Philistine. It had been established for somo time, nnd aB tho Fly Leaf had gained many friends, Mr. Hubbard mado nn arrangement with Harto to mergo his magazine with tho Phlllstlno and becomo the editor of tho comblnod publications. Harte cntno to East Aurora nnd all went merrily for about flvo months. Tho Fly Leaf was wiped out. Then camo some disagree ment and Harto was dropped from tho rolls. His spirit was broken. Ho went Into a dccllno and lived but a short tlmo after tho crash. Then cntno Michael Monahan, and his spectacularly brilliant career ns editor of tho Phlllstluo la n matter of history. When his position becamo no longer ten ablo ho left tho works, hired tho opera liouso nnd delivered nn nddrcsi which Is btlll remembered with delight by thoso who lovo tho picturesque- In oratory. Then ho took tho 4 o'clock train. Aftcrwatd ho cstabllHhed tho Papyrus and tho Phoonlx, and tho work of tho brilliant Irishman may still bo found on tho nowsstnnds monthly. When tho memorial meeting was held In East Autora on July !, 191B, Mr. Monahan delivered nn address of oulogy for Mr. Hubbard, whoso tragic end on tho Lusltanln Is well remembered. But to go back to the stirring days. It was In December, 1893, shortly be fore tho general tragedy, that tho Society of tho Philistines gavo Its first dinner. This was In honor of Stephen Crane, whoso "Black Riders" was tho first of tho vers llbro to attract general nttentlon. At tho dinner wcro men well known In news paper and magazine work from nil over tho United States, and tho affair was marked by ono peculiarly rcmarkablo In cident. Tho nttltudo of tho Philistine in tlio beginning was that of a frco lance ono should sny what ho pleased about any man or thing ho pleaded, so long ns ho maintained a frnmo of mind that was right nnd proper from the point of view of the framors of libel laws nnd tho ten ets appertaining to good taste. During tho dinner ono of tho speakers assailed Crano's work, not indecently, not with bad tnsto, but with a certain blttorncss that brought ono of tho guests to his foot with a distinct protest. This guest inter rupted tho speech with a tlrado which bo camo historic, and for a few moments tho situation was tenso. Then roso Robert Mitchell Floyd, of Delaware, and saved tho day by Jeering at both tho speakers for their grouch. Crano wn3 called upon then to speak, and tho calm, slight (In staturo), brilliant genius told a fow truths which wero summed up In his final phrnso: "Tho man who can't stand tho gaff Isn't a man at all; ho's a hell of a bum sport." Tho hand-printing of "Tho Song of Solomon," to which roferonco has been mado, was finished In January, 1896, and In Fobrunry camo tho disagreement which ,resultod In Tnber's retirement. With his former associates In newspaper work In Buffalo ho formed a company, and naked Mr. Hubbard his price for his Intorcst In tho Roycroft Printing Shop nnd tho Philistine. Mr. Hubbard named hla prico. Tho ambitious company rontcd n new building, purchased a full new outfit of machinery and typo and was ready to go ahead as an Individual cor poration, separating the affair from tho Whlto & Wagonor Company, nnd went to Mr. Hubbard, offering him a certified check for tho prlco he had named. i tfTjH. tiattf St ft'JfUrn &-. VJvn$-,w 0c 9?.;? Mr. Hubbard said ho had changed his mind, and refused to sell any part of his Interest. As it would have cost an inter minable legal battle, the new company gave up, and Mr. Hubbard continued the work under his own name. When tho split came there was In Taber's desk in the ofllce a manuscript written by the late William Mackintosh, which was, In effect, the essay which ap peared some years afterward as "A Mes sage to Garcia." Certain details were necessarily changed, but "The Message to Garcia" was really written by Mr. Mackintosh. The first real dollar paid for a sub scription to the Philistine was sent to Taber by the late Samuel Bancroft, of Wilmington, Del., in June of 1895. That was long before Taber ever thought that Delaware would become his adopted State but when he went to Wilmington 10 years ago this was remembered, and he presented to Mr. Bancroft the original copyright certificate, which is in his library at this time. Also there is tho matter of "Little Jour neys." Tho idea of them was suggested to Hubbard by Taber, aa la shown by Mr, Hubbard's dedication, reproduced here. Taber set the flrat ones in type and wrote three or four others or, rather, rewrote them. He also suggested a few publishing firms that might take the pub lication, which was finally taken over by Putnam, and he Illustrated "No Enemy" with tha help of Mr, James B. McCreary and hla brother. Then, top, the first chapters of Tha Legacy" wero planned and set in type by Taber. All these facts, as set forth above, wera gathered of a pleasant summer evening in a roof garden above an old mansion .in Wilmington, where Mr. Taber now makes hla home. He told tho story without show of heat, without bitterness, as a thing of no great moroeut that had passed and Utt bim no regrets.

PRIVATE BURKE CLAIMS IT To the Vdltbr of the Evening Ledger: Sir Having noticed that your edition of Tuesday, July 18, contains a Eong, as fol lows : There's a lot of men In Company M Who had to say "Goodby." Some wcro rich and somo wero poor. But none too proud to die. They went away from Phllly gay To help out with tiio war, But when Company M got there Carrnnza got tho scare And we didn't havo to go to war. I wish to say that Mr. Husaey Is not tho author of this song. I composed this sontr on our way from Phllly to El Paso and In tho presence of Privates Gannon, Ilyan and Corporal Balrd, all of Company K. If proof Is needed to establish tho same, Company I of the First Pennsylvania In fantry will substantiate tho assertion and Company K offers to Prlvato Hussey tho loan of a few good men who are willing to do his share of fighting and glvo him tho credit If ho bo desires, but would sug gest that ho bo a true soldier and not crib what ho wants nnd claim to be tho author of the same. I do not caro for publicity, but my candid opinion of a man who would do a thing like this and claim authorship Is that ho would hide behind a tree and faint away and upon recovery try to grab a distinguished service medal. Another ono of Company K's songs, to the tune of "Glory. Glory, Hallelujah!" Is: We're from Pennsyl, Pennsylvania, The Dandy First from Pennsylvania; K. of the First, from Pennsylvania, ' That grand old Keystone State. Composed by myself. PRIVATE JOHN F. BUBKE. Co. K, First Penna. Inf. Camp Pershing, El Paso, Tex., July 23. A DEMOCRAT TALKS BACK To the Editor of the Evening Ledger: Sir The Administration of Woodrow Wilson may be a know-nothing Admlnlstra. tlon. That Is where It differs from the state of mind of its critics, who know next to everything and know It wrong. "The Administration did not know what to do when war frowned on the horizon of Europe.," according to your editorial. It seems to me that It did know. It wanted to keep out and kept out. "It Is not recorded that the greatest re publlo on earth offered its services as mediator or did anything whatever to avert the, conflict." I quote again from the same editorial, It has not been the habit of Americans to treat, official documents ns scraps of paper, but that Is apparently what must ba done to the record of the official offer of mediation made by President Woodrow Wil son to the German Emperor, the Em peror of Austria, the Emperor of Jtussia, the King of England and the President of France. Only the merest formal ac knowledgment was ever made of this ten der, because the European nations did not want peace and would not have It. Nothing the President could have done would have prevented It. We are all wise after the fact. We all know, or think wo know, that If this country had threatened to go Into the war the only effective thing left undone Oermany would have drawn back. We think we know this, and yet wo know, absolutely, that Ger many went in In spite of England's adhesion to her Allies; that Germany went In with the prospect of our supplying arms to her enemies; that she knew alt along that this country could not add an effective man or ship or gun to tho Entente. Mr. Roosevelt, who hasn't been cutting qulta as much of a dash la recent months, was also vrtia. He would have prevented tha war. prevented the Lusltania massacre. now gently referred to as a disaster by the j AorMTOURSff. ,'OHN, !MV I if you dont Think 2C OUGHT TO PROTEQTJ t -WHY, www J . '',.

Oh, yes, ho would ex cept that Boien weeks after tho war had begun, nnd nearly 100 weeks before tho necessities of tho campaign becamo urgent, Mr. Itoosevclt deliberately Indorsed every single net, commission or omission of Wood row Wilson. As for ultimatums which ultlmato, It seems to mo I recall a particularly nnBty note addressed to Totsdam or thereabouts. In which n smart Aleck diplomat who tried to tlo up tho United States In an agreement to hurt England or get hurt by submarines, wan told what wns what. Tho note wns tho last word and Gcrmnny hasn't peeped no far, Is that ultimate enough? I recall nlso tho German complaint that "our sub marines aro tied up In n net of notes" the samo notes you used to Jest nbout. I recall tho Navy Journal of England (though I don't recall Its exact name) saying thnt "President Wilson did tho trick." I say, don't you think we'd better leave this foreign affairs business out of tho cam paign? What aro you going to do with Mr. Hughes? What nro you going to do with tho German-American voto, which says very definitely that It doesn't caro much about Hughes, but is going to "get" Wil son? Are you going to support God nnd Mammon or the servants of God and Mam mon nt tho samo time? Wo Democrats grant you that Mr. Hughes Is an American. Hut wo know and you know that ho Is being used as a club by the Germ-Ams, simply because Woodrow Wilson Is not favprablo to Potsdamnntlon. So better drop this war stuff. It doesn't get you anywhere. As for Mexico, will you explain Just how tho blngle-track mind of tho obstinate Presi dent who bullies Congress, and all that, happens to bo the weak, vacillating mind of tho man who doesn't know what to do In Mexico. SGANAIIELLE. Philadelphia, July 27. ' DISAGREES WITH M'LISS To the Editor of he Evening Ledger: Sir The artlclo by M'LIss on tho Na tlonal Woman's party In the Evenino LEDaEtt of July 25 Is somewhat misleading ns well as antagonistic to one branch of tho suffrngo movement. Tho Executive Board of tho National American Woman Suffrage Association, under the leadership of Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, some years ago made a radical change In the policy of tho national association. Susan B. An thony believed Implicitly In concentrating on Washington In fact, advocated holding nil conventions of the National Woman Suf frage Association In tho national capital. Sho recognized, as we do, that the various States had all sorts of enactments or con stitutional provisions on the subject of suf frage, and theso embarrassed the franchise reform to the point of paralyzing action. Then, as now, they constituted a Qordlan knot, and this knot the clear-minded Susan B. Anthony proposed to cut. The way to cut It Is for the people of the United States, through their representatives In Congress, to demand the passage of a Federal amend ment enfranchising all the women of the country. As showing the position of the early leaders In the suffrage movement, per mit me to quote an utterance of Elizabeth Cady Stanton as early as 1809: "The fundamental principle of our Gov ernment the equality of all the citizens of the Republic should be Incorporated Into the Federal Constitution, there to remain forever, To leave this question to the States andrpArtlal acts of Congress Is to defer Indefinitely Its settlement, for what Is done by this Congress may be repealed by the next, and politics In the several States dif fers so widely fhat no harmonious action on any quettion can ever be secured except as a strict party measure. Hence we appeal to the party now In power to end this pro tracted debate on suffrage and to declare It the Inalienable right of every citizen who Is amenable to tho laws of the land, who pays taxes and the penalty of crime. We havo a splendid theory of a genuine Re public; why not realize It and make our Government homogeneous from MalneVo California?" MRS. GEORGE MORGAN.

Thero will nlwnys bo gold enough In Franco to gild nnow tlio flaming stntuo of the Mnld that rldea triumphant Into the Huo do lllvoll Frcmlot's equestrian mastcrpleco seems over to bo about to plunge head foremost In nmong tho motorbuscs and cabs to scatter modern mnterlnllsm nway with ono thrust of her pennnnted lanco. Wo have, by tho way, n replica of thru statuo nt tho cast pud of Glrnrd aventjo bridge, and somo ono with nn extra doTOr or two ought to put It into a golden drcja and keep it so. Woman's Place Among (he Angels Tho French did tho scnslblo thing In adoring Joan Instead of testing thd, strength of her bleeps. They had tho best answer yet for tho mnxim, "Woman's place Is In. tho home." Thoy said "Woman's plnco Is nmoug tho angels,' nnd let It go at that. Every movement., thnt modernism has Inspired to degrado tho Maid Into n femalo bully has expired beforo tho fury of tho gallant youth of Franco. In 1910 thoro was a gentleman named Thalnmas teaching In tho Unlvcr- . slty of Pnrls. Ho wroto somo nbuslvo comments on Joan; said sho had led nn immoral life, which, of course, Is not true. Tlio students stormed tho liouso of M. Thnlamns nnd broko tho windows. Thoy went on n strike nnd marched across tho river to tho Ruo do lllvoll, whero thoy hung garlands on tho statuo of tho heroine. Thalamas resigned nnd in dis gust got himself elected to tho Chamber , of Deputies. Voltalro took a whack at tho reputation of tho Uttlo girl who heard tho voices talking to her nt tho vlllago pump In Domrcmy Saint Michael In his shining nrmor bidding her tako sword In hand and lend men. Anatolo Franco takes his whack in n moro gentlemanly fashion; says sho wa3 guided by her parish priest and skeptlclsos about tho voices. AU tho atheists bcllttlo her, but soon their mouths are stopped with dust. What stands out after nil tho contro versies is that tho only place for women In war Is nt tho top as n lender whether as a Queen, llko Elizabeth, or as a sym bolic figure on horseback, llko Joan; in a word, to glvo victory only by inspira tion nnd to bo beaton only to bo beatified. Molly Pitcher's Chivalry It was suggested a moment ago that tlfb femalo biceps wero not to count In tho equation. But In a nation like ours, which draws Its Inspiration from n raco of men nnd women pioneers, whoso women had to busy themselves with tho loading nnd firing of muskets against Indians, It Is natural that wo should want a flesh and blood heroine. Molly Pitcher serves this purpose. Llko many Mexi can matrons of today, sho followed her husband to tho wars In order to do hla cooking nnd laundering for him. Thero wero n good many other young wives who did Hkewlso In tho American Revolution. Thoy did not expect to fight. Neither did Molly Pitcher. However, -tho day of tho battlo of Monmouth was a very hot day (96 degrees In tho shado), and sho could not sit still In tho rear while wound ed folk wero dying for n drink nnd tho gunners parched nnd blinded by smoke. Sho mado trip after trip up tho hill on which her husband, Hays, a gunner, was tolling at tho cannon, with a pall or pltchor (whenco her name, sho having been born Mary Ludwlg) full of water taken from n neighboring spring. On ono of her trips sho saw her husband fall back dead, na sho thought and Bprang forward to tako his place. There wns no one clso to man tho cannon. Sho seized tho rammer, loaded and fired the piece and kept at tho task throughout tho battle, Hays was only wounded, sho found out after sho had "avenged his death." Next day, In her soiled attire. General Greene presented her to Wash ington, who praised her nnd commis sloned her n sergeant. Tho 'French soldiers admired her greatly, and thero Is an amusing story of her marching along their ranks occa sionally In uniform with a cocked hat into which our allies dropped coins to eke out Moll's scanty pay, which no doubt all went to keep her young son John in bread and butter. She served in the army for nearly all the eight years. After the war she received an officer's half-pay, and for many years lived at tho Carlisle, Pa., barracks, near the place of her birth, cooking and washing for the soldiers. She was employed as a nurse by various families, and while very fond of children, brought tho atmosphere of army life into tho home. She is said to have been a Btern disciplinarian and at tlme3 rough her Idea was probably to raise her boys . to be Boldlers, She kept a small store for somo years and was a garrulous and ex cltablo shopkeeper, which she had every, right to be, considering her services. She married again one Sergeant McCauley, who was a .bad lot, according to all ac counts, and lived off her income. In i822, when Molly was 78 years old, tho State- Legislature voted her an annuity of fifO nt Sft7 - a year, and when she died she was buried with military honors.
