MONSY FIGHTS
."!;
-T-HE millions of Mien In the trenches
. would be impotent If It were not for
the billions of money which Is fighting
with them.
Money buys tho Intrenching tools.
Money buys the guns. Money buys the
cartridges. Money buys the big cannon
In the rear which prepare the way for
taking tho German trenches. Money
buys the shells fired by the big guns.
Money buys the ambulances, the surgical
Instruments, tho anesthetics and the
medicines used in treating the wounded.
Money buys tho food and pays for its
transportation across the ocean.
There can be no victory for democracy
without the sacrifice of irioney as well
as of. lives. It is imperative that all the
money called for by the Government be
supplied without delay.
Two great Liberty Loans have already
been floated. Tho campaign for tho
third loan Is to be started on Saturday,
April 6. Particular attention is to bo
paid by the men in charge of it to the
West and the South. But the East and
tho North will not be neglected. Secre
tary McAdoo will begin the drive with a
speech in this city on April 6 to dedicate
the Liberty statue. The campaign will
not succeed, however wide the appeal,
unless every man, poor as well as rich,
Is ready to do his utmost.
The rich have responded handsomely
to the appeal in the previous loan cam
paigns. They have done more than that,
for they have prepared themselves to pay
the enormous income taxes levied by the
Government. The Federal Treasury l-uts
its hand in their pockets, and takes out
right between 60 and 60 per cent of their
income above a certain amount. Under
this law John D. Rockefeller Is mulcted
in the sum of $34,000,000. To say that
he will not miss it does not affect the
situation. The point is that the burden
of war taxation is being laid in propor
tion to the ability to bear it. The very
rich must pay an immensely greater pro
portion of their wealth than the men of
moderate means.
We should keep continually in mind
that the purpose of the loan is to fight
the Huns. The man beyond military ago
who cannot go into the trenches in
Europe can do his bit by fighting with
his dollars. He will not be called upon to
sacrifice his life, or even to lose an arm
or a leg or an eye, but before the war is
over it is likely that he will be called
upon to lend money to the Government
until he has to live with the strictest
economy, without any luxuries and even
without some of the things which he has
regarded as necessities. He must face
the situation with the same courage that
the soldiers show when they go over the
top.
The father whose son Is now In France,
or will soon be there, can reduce the
chances of injury to that son by putting
his hand down in his pocket and supply
ing money to keep that son properly
cared for and properly equipped and
properly sustained with re-enforcements.
There are some fathers who do not real
ize yet that there Is anything they can do
here at home which will help their boys.
They will not be allowed to remain in
ignorance long. The harder they work
to keep industry here from demoraliza
tion and tho more diligently they dis
courage strikes and lockouts the sooner
will tho Hun be whipped.
Money is called upoij to volunteer. So
long as it responds it will be unnecessary
to 'draft it.
Apparently the Donskl Cossacks are not
doneskl.
JOY FOR THE SPECTATORS
THE days have come when the old-time
Prohibitionists can tilt back In their
easy chairs and chuckle. Politicians of the
old-line parties who will say In public that
the constitutional amendment should be
rejected are almost as scarce as peach,
orchards in mldocean.
We are now treated to the edifying spec
tacle of one candidate for office Insisting
that he is the only simon-pure prohibition
ist and that every other candidate who
professes to favor the amendment is insin
cere and is nothing better than a whited
sepulcher.
The exchange of courtesies has pro
gressed to the point where men are calling
one another liars. What they will be say
ing, by tho tlmo of -the primaries no one
can foretell. The capabilities of the lan
guage have not yet been exhausted, and
as the candidates are expert word sllngers
we may expect much entertainment as the
weeks go by.
In the meantime it is worth while noting
that the controversy Is between candidates
wt"p profess to be for the amendment and
the only Issue is whether one Is a better
prohibitionist than the other.
This certainly Is not a matter for the
rest of us to get excited about.
Concrete seems to serve more admirably

The Haverf ord
of Isaac Shax'pless
THEHE Is a little college, not much mors
than eight miles from the brim of William
Penn's beaver, cet on' the loveliest campus
In the world. Her sons are not so very many,
but they love her. Let us call her Haver
ford, for that Is her name.
The loveliest campus In the world. Let
there be no argument on that point. When
William Carvlll. an English landscape sculp
tor, laid out the college grounds some eighty
five years ago. he found In the richly swell
ing tract settled by the Welsh Quakers some
hint of the old-world countryside that was
so dear to him. Ho leveled cricket fields.
plotted terraces, gardens, avenues of oako
and maples, molded launs dropping away
Into fragrant hollows. He designed for the
little Quaker academe a bowery retreat, full
of sweet dreams and quiet breathing. He
taught the first generation of Haverferdlans
to play cricket, noblest of games; to cry
"Cowled, Indeed, sir!" and "Well held!" Then
he retired Into obscurity and legend knows
hlra no more.
ALONG came the Pennsylvania Railroad
. In course of time. The brick pavement
In front of 'Founders' Hall grew squashy
with many a tprlng thaw and undulated un
der eager feet. The Ivy aspired and covered
the simple countenance of that plain build
ing; sparrows twittered there so loudly as
to Interrupt the professors at their lectures.
Other halls arose one by one. As the years
ent by hundreds of stalwart Quaker youths
bunked In tho narrow cubicles of old Found
ers, took In their nourishment of Greek and
calculus and biblical literature, sat on First
day and Fifth-day on the bruising benches
of old Haverford Meeting, and llftened to
the revelations of their elders. They de
veloped the prowess of plllow-flghtlng from
a rude Instinct to a ballistic science. By and
by the curriculum, designed an "a guarded
education In morals and manners." admitted
tho existence of the heavenly bodies and as
tronomy flourished. Later the literary arts
and finally even music were acknowledged.
(Not until this present winter did the college
officially admit the existence of the dance.l
A seminary for young ladles, by some called
a college, was founded within range of stout
legs, only a few sonnets away. And then
came the telephone and broke down the last
ramparts of the old Quaker claustratlen.
IN THH autumn of 187S a young man Just
under twenty-seven, wise and humorous
beyond his years, came In as a scratch sub
stitute on the faculty, "because," asthey told
him, "they could not get any one else." This
man, Isaac Sharpless. was to be the shrewd
and kindly pilot" under whose guldanco tho
little college has grown In wisdom and stature
to play a valuable ' role In the educational
Ideals of our time. Under his hand the In
stitution became more than a happy-go-lucky
country club for the young Quaker bourgeois.
It Is dua to him, and the corps of devoted pro
fessors he gathered round him, that Haver
ford stands new In a unique position: a
college where the tradition of old Quaker
simplicity Is linked with sound scholarship
and the necessity of hard study. It Is now
one of tho half dozen men's colleges In this
country where students are admitted only
by examination, not by the certificate of
feme complaisant schoolmaster.
ISAAC SHAUPLKSS was president of
Haverford College from 18S7 until 1917.
In 1887 the number cf students was ninety
four, the salary list $20,000, tho college en
dowment $100,000. In 1917 the number of
students was 105; the salary list $71,475;
the endowment $2,577,571. This expansion
seems In Itself sufficiently remarkable; but It
has to bo remembered, to President Sharp
less's honor, that not once In the thirty
years of his office did he or his associates
encourage growth at tho expense off Ideals.
Under his sure and steady hand Haverford
has chosen a niche of Its own, and proved
the value und need of the small college as
against the contrasting claims of bigger Insti
tutions, and adhered loyally but not pedant
ically to tho tradition of cultural rather than
technical training.
IT WOULD ill beseem any of the thousand
or to men who abode at Haverford during
Isaac Sharpless's presidency to vaunt above
Its due place the success cf that quiet Quaker
experiment In education. President Sharpless
has made self-effacing modesty almost a vice,
nnd his quick neiise of humor would render
It unbearable for any of his fledglings to
offer him too public or too patronizing praise.
The purpose of these remarks Is to call atten
tion to his book, "The Story of a Small Col
lege," which has Just been Issued by tho
John C. Winston Company, In which lie tells,
with naught extenuated, of his adventures
In steering a course. Fortunately for some
of his ducklings, he does not tell all he knows
about us.
AND, somehow or other, at this time of
.jear, one's heart goes back to thoe care
free days "sweet hours, and the fleetest of
time" when there were no wars, no meat
less' days, no coal bills, no more pressing
problem than buncoing the faculty with some
kind of Intellectual barratry we called a
"graduation thesis." When warm, moist
purls come Into the air and we know that the
forsythla Is out near the Conklln gate, and
the bricks In front of Founders seesaw up
and down as the frost leaves the earth, and
the golden windows of Barclay Hall blaze
In the dusk at the top of that long Hope of
campus then there comes a very real nos
talgia for that dearest erf places. Of courbe,
it would never do, really, and It Is childish
folly to Imagine It, but we would like to be
back there just for a week with "Ike"
looking at us In that quizzical way, I think
the secret of our love for him was that we
knew we couldn't bluff him. Most of the others
could be hocused one way or another.. But
there was no getting past "Ike."
IT MUST be a pleasant feeling to round out
one's seventh decado with the sense of
honorable accomplishment and fine human
service that President Sharpless ought to
have. But probably he doesn't have that
feeling at all, he's so busy thinking about
what he's going to do during tho next ten
years. And If you read his "Story of a Small
College" you'll see why we lovo Haverford
and love Isaao Sharpless.

EDWARD T. STOTESBURY
rINIKO with Charle3 S. Harrison, the
-' former provost of the University of
Pennsylvania, on the evening of September
23, 1914, at his attractive country place, I
sat at tho table with Mrs. Harrison, and on
my left was E. T. Btotesbury, the million
aire, who, entering tho houso of Drexel &
Co. years ago as a clerk at a small salary,
is now the head of the establishment. A
short, meager man, with much vivacity,
he told me that ho had been much opposed
to the nomination of George II, Earle, Jr.,
for tho mayoralty of tho city, but that now,
under the Wilson regime, 1100 men had
been discharged by the Baldwin Locomotive
Works and every business in which he
was interested was stagnant, Rnd he hoped
for the return of Penrose to the United
States Senate.
"I have Just received a letter from the
head of the firm of Harjos & Co., in Paris.
It is pitiable. He asks me to be his execu
tor. He tells mo the Germans are near the
city, that ho docs not know whether ho or
his children will bo alive n week hence,
that ho does not know whether lie will
have anything to leave to them, that no
man can tell what will happen."
Stotesbury was Interested In the opera
In Philadelphia.
"I paid Mary Garden," said he, "eighteen
hundred dollars a night, and made an en
gagement to pay her eighty thousand dol
lars In the courso of the winter. The
newspapers accused me of spending too
much time in her dressing room, while, on
tho other hand, she described me .as 'such
a timid little man.'"
PEARY AMUNDSEN
SHACKLETON ,
On the evening of January 16, 1913, at
tho Art Club, in Philadelphia, I met Robert
E. Peary, who discovered the North Pole;
Roald Amundsen, who reached the South
Pole, and Sir Ernest Shackleton, the Eng
lishman, who made a brave attempt to get
to the South Pole, but failed. It certainly
was an unusual combination to encounter
at one time. A reception was given them
by the Art Club, at which many distin
guished Plilladelphlans were present. John
Cadwalader escorted me to a seat at the
luncheon upstairs, and, be.lng a member
of the club, acted as a personal host. While
we were chatting, we were Interrupted,
however, by a gentleman who said he had
been hunting for me, and that the presi
dent of the club wanted mo to dine with
tho guests. About twenty persons sat at
the dinner table. It gave me the oppor
tunity of seeing at closer range tho ex
plorers and saying a few words to them.
Peary I havo known and have elsewhere
depleted Amundsen Is a tall, bony man,
with the lines of his face drawn, thin and
tough, giving much the impression of a
Calvlnlstlc Scotchman fed on oatmeal and
the twenty-nine articles of the Covenant.
He was, nevertheless, cordial, and answered
such questions as were put to him with
few but direct words. He Indicated a
certain senso of power, and Is probably
made of sterner stuff than most men.
Shackleton, a short, stocky, dark-eyed and
dark-haired Englishman, I pitied. What
could be more uncomfortable than to feel
that you had como near but had not
touched the goal, and then to be shown
lit contrast with two men each of whom
had succeeded in the difficult quest.
General Nelson E. Miles, who was one
of the party, came over and sat with me
at the tablo after tho cigars had been
handed uround. Much of Ills talk was about
Roosevelt, whom he detested.
WALT WHITMAN
Once while I was active in the manage
ment of the I'enn Club In Philadelphia,
an institution ut tho corner of Eighth and
Locust streets, started by my friend Whar
ton Barker, and which lias entertained
many distinguished persons, we concluded
to give a reception to tho "good gray poet."
The gentlemen of the city were there,'
all In their evening dress. Whitman came
over from Camden In a rough gray suit
Intended for tho street and considerably
the worso for wear. This was permissible.
If duo to necessity or even to his own con
venience A large-framed, muscular man,
he wore a long, heavy beard and gave the
Indication of brawn and muscle. Before
coming he had Industriously Inserted forty
or fifty pins In tho lapel of his coat and
they bhone forth conspicuously. This, of
course, was puro affectation, throwing
doubt on the suit and giving the appear
ance of humbuggery to the wholo per
formance. It has ever seemed to me that
this clement ran through all of his so
called poetry.
ELnnThooT
I hae met Mr, Root on two occasions
at Chicago, where he made the speech
nominating Roosevelt for the presidency, a
speech which could not be heard and,
therefore, made little Impression on the
audience, and again at the Franklin din
ner of the American Philosophical Society,
where he sat between me and Henry Cabot
Lodge, of Massachusetts, whom he spent
most of his time In Jibing. A slim, rugged,
iron-gray man who gives tho impression
of will-power and Intelligence, which lie
undoubtedly possesses. He is a living
Illustration of the old saw, "First get on,
then get honpr, then get honest." Begin

As a United States Senator he repre

welfare of these interests, always found
good or plausible reasons for clinging, to

DEEDS OF WUDRO, SON OF WYL
rpHERE has recently turned up in Eng---
land, from goodness knows where, a
singular and hilarious concoction which
seems immediately to havo become thero a
kind of national enjoyment, like the'Bank
Holiday. It is a satirical comment on
contemporary conditions, dealing with
conscientious objectors, prohibitionists,
meatless days, llghtiess nights and such
like things. It is written In biblical
language und divided into chapters and
verses, with a summary of each chap.,
tcr, after the style of the King James ver
sion of the Bible. Two of the chapters
treat of America and her entrance Into the
war. The first of them tells of the Presi
dent's long correspondence with tho Kaiser,
discusses U10 kinking of tho Lus,ltanla and
the dcn.and of the war party hero that wo
bring hii end to talk and act. The second
chapter tells of our entrance Into tho war.
'Hero It Is as it appears in the American
edition of "The Bpok of Artemas," pub
lished by George H. Doran Company;

NOW the longest rope, ft Ziatfi an end.
Wherefore it came to pass In time that
Wudro, tho son of Wyl, did send unto Willi,
that was the King of the Hu, and ho said
untd him,
2. Such tilings and such things hast thou
done, all these being against thy plighted
word; and thine iniquity. It hath tormented
me for a long (Cmo pabt. Now, therefore,
hearken unto me, and pay attention:
3. Because I am a man of peaco, therefore
have I borne with thee long enough; and
I am become sick unto death mllh thy
carryings on. And the blood of my murdered
people, it crleth out for retribution.
4. Take heed, therefore,, and mend tho
evil of thy ways, for, on, the next occasion,
assuredly shalt thou rua the day.
6. And when Willi had heard tfiese things
that Wudro, the son of Wyl, did bay unto
him, he sent In haste unto his chief captains,
and ho did commune lolli Inrm,
6. And he questioned them closely con
cerning the words of Wudro. And ho said
unto them. Think yo that this man, ha
meaneth anythlnot
7. And they made answer unto him, saying.
Be of good cheer and heed him not. forMio
Is a man that acteth only according fo his
advantage. And to make war, It ' juld ad
vantage him nothing. For tho land of Amer,
t prospereth exceedingly; and the miller
turneth not away Jftat sfream which work'eth
his wheel.
8. Also he llveth afar off and his servants,
thev are unready. Verily, the threats of such
on one, they be full of emptiness; and what
roever he cayeth, that hath he also sad be
fore. Nevertheless, we will smite him because
of It when the time Is ripe.
9. And after Willi had heard all the things
that the captains of his host did 'say unto
htm, his heart was rejoiced uiltAIn him, and
he said unto them. Assuredly are ye men
after mine own understanding. Let us, there
fore, ceo about IN And they did see about
Ik ,
,10. And when vord was brought unto
Wudro concerning these things and how
V1H did set his warnings at naught, making
mock of )i!s threats,.theo was he very wroth,
end he cried out, in the violence of his anger,
saying. Am I, then, Job, (Ant be born-again,
tobe tormented thus?
' 11. And he ftrafghticai called the people
unto ' him. and Ke spake unto them. And'
after ho had told them everything, he said
int,ci them. Is lt therefore, a matterifor
war! Ana they answered him with a mighty
...laa wlnar' It 1 Mllffl IB ' t ""
voice, saying. It Is a matter lor war,.
l:,. And when Willi heard what was come
to pass, ke was amazed, and ills knees, they
, did tremble beneath him. And Wa commanded,
hia servants that they should brfngunto him
.the braxen mask, being part of the.' royal
attire; and he did put It on . ;

things! neither shall any man dare to with
stand It.
16, And when he had finished speaking, he
sent out messengers uufo the four corners of
the earth, Instructing them that they should
tell these things unto all people, for he was
a Iioastful fellow and a bracga.t. for ever
holding forth In large manner for to be
heard of till the world.
17. Now Wudro, the son of Wyl, after that
ho had madu him war, he cried not out from
the housetops what things he would do, but
ho gat him about It for fo do them.
IS. And ho opened wide the strings of his
purse so that the shekels, they gushed forth
as the waters of a brook after' rain.
19. And he sent much munition of war
unto them that were loffh him, and he com
manded Ills physicians that they bhould go
out for to succor the wounded.
10. And he did send Ills vessels of war
also, which were useful things and ready
for tho fray. And of men that did fly In the
air, ho sent ulso of these, an eager band,
nttd valiant.
21, Neither was he backward In the matter
of food, making due provision In all thing.
And he did set him about it for to build him
an army, a mighty host sucft as never before
was seen. And he rested him not, neither
In the day nor In tho night did he rest him,
doing always those things that were requisite
for the undertaking.
22, And when word was brought unto
Willi that Wudro, he had taken the coat
frcm oft his back, nnd that he was labour
ing without any respite, ho grew Bore afraid,
and he did shake all over with the violence
of the tremble of his knees.
23, And when he was recovered by a
potion of strong drink, he did call the Minis
ters of State unto his chamber, and he spake
unto them, saying. Is there no cne noio
amongst the men of peace fftat loll; raise his
voice against this bloody war?
21. And, lo, straightway, there teas a voice,
and it spake concerning peace. A.nd It was
blown along by the wind, even unto the land
of Amer was It blown.
25. And when It was come unto the cars
of Wudro, that was the son of Wyl. he made
answer unto It, and he did say. Verily, It hath
a goodly sound. Xevertheless, this peace. It
thall not come to pass, for tho King of Hu.
he hath a. lying tongue, and his plighted word,
hath he not brpken It before?
20. And because he Is icAnJ he Is, there
fore Mini) the compact of peace be made
only with that man which he fa not.
27, And the words of Wudro, they were
blown along by the wind, even back from
the land of Amer icera ihey blown on the
wings of the wind.
