Germany, once cMabllnhed In Itui-ola. can fight the whole world forever! Iord Itohert Cecil, Under Kecretnry of State for Foreign Affairs, on Saturday. "IORLORN Russia, friendless fn tho r dark, still manages to servo the world mightily as a mirror in which civilization may road tho sum of Its major errors. Toryism lashed the Russians to revolu tion. It was not BtirprisinR, therefore, that Toryism elsewhere in tho world should call down the loudest curses on tho revolutionists. It is tho way of human ity to hate nnd suspect thoao whom it has hurt most cruelly. Even Lloyd George hud days whe.i ho conceived Rus sia to he Ktrcnsky or Leon Trotilsy nnd little else. Thero ate other statesmen who still believe that Russia i.s Lenino nnd the Rolshcviki. Allied diplomacy is only now revising its opinions nnd its attitudes to the con sciousness that Russia nctually is about 180,000,000 people, a great hope, a flam ing spirit, high faith, limitless icsourccs nnd almost limitless territory, a poten tiality for good or evil that transcends all possible estimates. Certainly Pres ident Wilson has had most to do in bringing about n now viewpoint among tho Allies in the intervnl between Lloyd George's brusque dismissal of the Rus sian tragedy and Lord Cecil's somber hint, of the possible consequences of that majestic ciror. Fate and circumstances have helped. Yet nil this suggests merely the surface meanings of Russia. Russia i.s like a cry, in these uncertain days, to every intelligence that is not diverted by the tragedy of war from the ultimnte pin poses of war. The sins and cirois of tho Allied diplomatists in Rus sia were, after all, but minor reactions of the larger aberrations of that pait " society which uuu-y has diplomatists as representatives and spokesmen. Tor. in the larger sense, Russia i.s everywhere. Russia is the poor of the world, the misguided, the uninformed, the ignorant. It wonders and listens nnd suffers in every land. Its shining faith goes out momentarily to any bawling idiot on u soap box since it has waited long and has never ceased hoping for the one who shall lead it out of the wilderness. It is tho ingenuous heart of this larger Russia that i.s thrilled by any dema gogue who happens along. It is every whcio trying to understand and trying to make itself understood. Its gentle faces are in every crowd. It bides in the little streets, cnduiing much in si lence, tending its children with difficulty, making no sound. And in this Russia something as sin ister as the spiiit of Germany has al leady established and fortified itself "to fight the woild." It is ignorance and suspicion nnd distrust of the social order. Those who are to blame are those who long ngo thought they "were through with Russia." Is it strange that any cheap agitator can get a bearing and n following, or that even thoughtful men will defend the fanaticism of organiza tions like tho Industrial Workers of tho World because of tho spark of justice that is behind their complaints? There are faiths and philosophies which hold that nothing is lost in the universe and that even human suffering tends by some mystic process to enrich life and tho world for future days. The assumption is founded, of course, upon the successive miracles that began at Calvary. It' might bo believed, therefore, that the heart of Russia today is the anvil upon which a new and better social idealism is being hammered out. It is trite to say that the problems that will follow after the var will be as try ing as those of the war itself. To sup pose that the world of humanity, which has endured so much, may still be left to trail with straining eyes in the heels of demagogues is to encourage an intolerable assumption. It is only possihle to wait unci hope that tho directing intelligence of the future will have become aware of the present symbolism of Russia, that it will have realized that one part of hu manity can never be "through" with an other. For Lloyd George, in tho moment of his amazing statement after the Rus sian revolution, was no more ignorant of Russia than one-half of America often has been of the life of the other half G.rm-iny s submarine campaign has failed and staff officers are admitting In the I.e'clistag that her air campaign has broken down The land defense will lie the next to go to pieces, and after that the deluge for Gcrmaii ambitions THE CLASSICS rpHK classics nio bafe for a few more moons, It seems. The Classical Associa tion of tho Atlantic States, which con cluded Its annual convention In this city on Saturday, still keeps tho best-sellers of antiquity sheltered under Its plumy wing. The classical associations perhups are not altogether unbiased advocates, but when so eminent a scientist and engineer as Dr. Hollls Godfrey, of Drexet Institute, pleads for the classics, thero must ho some goodly ministration that they perform In modern life. Even In wartime wo cannot afford for a moment to forgo the great and beneficent strain of thought and Idealism that Greece and Romo have handed down to us. Not McGuffcy of the readers nor Dr. Frank Crane of the press syndicates was the first man on earth to cull nnd utter memo rabilia. Thousands of men In the trenches and training camps havo been heartened and nerved to their grim discipline by some remembered Bnatches of l'urlpedes or Horace, or the eclogues of Virgil. It is a quaint thought that there are more copies of Virgil and Caesar and Cicero told every year than of most modern novels. Yet It Is true. And one who takes the trouble to look hack at his old dog's eared texts will sometimes find 'a curious thrill when ho discovers that 'those old fel lows were Just as humun as the corner of Broad and Chestnut streets. Take this, for Instance: Gather and save our time, which (111 lately has been forced from you, or niched away, or has merely slipped from your hands. Believe the truth of my words, that certain moments are torn from us, that some are gently removed,, and that others ctlde beyond our reach. We are mistaken when we look forward to death ; the major portion of death baa already .passed..

Mean while tho question of housing Is cumula tive In Ha Importance. The confusion nt Hog Island and tho tendency to grossly Inflated rents In this city Indicate merely tho beginning of a logical reaction. Ships and guns nnd ammunition are moro press ing needs than houses, to he sure. Tet tho question of shelter has como to havo an nctite hearing upon means of military pre IMiedncss. It will continue to grow In Im portance as population shifts to tho con lets of Industrial activity. And It Is likely to reach tho most trlng stage Immediately after tho war when Increased Immigra tion further taxes tho exltting accommo dations In towns mid dtles everywhere.

No one who has studied the question has yet been ablo to offer u solution tor a situation which is the tnoie confusing because It was altogether unexpected. It has been sug gested tli.it In the absence nf transport facilities cities with extensive slum areas might very propeilv iae ancient and un hygienic buildings and utilize the material In creating new communities of hvglcim: dwellings.

Tho ofllcials In Jersey nro working with a lamlablo ambition ami a logical plan, und ,et it Is because of the'r own pi lor disregard of tho cooperative theory that they arc now finding co-operation difficult to obtain elsewhere. It has been an old habit of the exalted nt Tren ton to regal il tho roads of tho Stato in tho peculiar pioperty of their own tax pajers. This theory has been embodied In tho motor laws in clauses which dis criminate definitely ugalnst Jlccnso hold ers in other States. Tho current agitation of tho roads de. partment In New Jersey Fceks tho estab lishment of laws In Pennsylvania and New York under which any chauffeur convicted of negligence In n case of serious accident will have his license revoked for a year.

He had a faintly speckled breast and his bead, back nnd wing were olive brown, while his tall was reddish brown As I looltrtl he slowly and stlfllv raised said tall until it made an angle vvltii his bod.v This action betracd him It was the hermit thrush, who can nlna.vs be told by this tilck from any of the other lour tiirusnes. l stood quiet and watched Dim Suddenly before mj iyes he opened his beak and began his whisper song which be sometimes slug while Journeying north, al though usually he Is a silent travelir. It pounded miles away and If I bad not watched him sing I should have supposed that the notes were coming up from the valley be low. Then ho sang loud and louder, until at last 1 was listening to the full summer song which I had last heard In a Midi grove In the Berkehlien at twilight with the raK of the setting sun inhering down through the green leaves. Kirst came n pure fluted note, followed by u tremolo of grace notes Then suddenly the song soared up and up until It broke In a spr.i of golden sound Still the bird with open beak and lluttrrlug wings sang on In mi ecstasy yet I heard no sound The song had gone beyond the ranee of human ears, for the best part of tho hermit thruh' song Is only heard by tho wild folk alone. All day that fairy music sounded In my ears and many years may pass before again the hermit thrush sIiiks ids full song to me In migration A few days later from a dark thlclcet I heard the song of his cousin, the veery or Wilson thrush, also rarely ever heard when tho bird Is on his travels. It only lasted a moment, a weird arpeggio chord of so prann and contralto notes like a phrase of harp music. The veery Is the lightest brown of all our thrushes and Im sometlmeH called the tawny thrush from tho color of hlu bark and sides. In almost any nearby pasture can be heard the silver flute notes of the little field sparrow, with Its pink beak and unspotted breast, lrom the nearby treetops sounds the tlamboant song of that grand opera singer, the brown thrasher, with his long brown tall and beak and heavily spotted breast. He likes the topmost hough, where all can see and hear him while he pour forth a Hood of finely executed florid phrases more artistic, but to inv mind not more beautiful, than the single limpid notes of the Held spanow. Below the thrasher on the lower limbs I.s that slate-colored sing er, the catbird, win nt his best Is nearly equal to his more brilliant rlvHl. He will take snatches of half n dozen other bird songs and weave them together with trills and tipples and whistles of his own until you would believe that u whole chorus of birds were sinning In the bush. If the catbird were as rare as the nightingale people would travel hundreds of miles to hear him Ab It Is, he sings In our door yards, and most of us won't even get up to hear him.

Ho has been relegated to tho limbo of discarded, moth-eaten, obscene fetishes. The phosphorescent brilliance which deluded us Into thinking him really luminous soon wore off. Yet It ml.glit be well to lift the revolting idol for a 'moment fiom the cosmic gar bage can and let the sun shine upon him while we study him with fully open ejes. There nio certain very Illuminating aspects of the Superman which can only be fully appreciated now that his brief day nt glory is over. Wo can gain new lipdght Into certain forces which ncrvci ted Gel many by re-examining the fetish which a perverted Gei many put up for adoration. Wo may even observe a i acini "tmnsvuluatlon of values" which Is one of the most ludlcious and absurd things In all hlstoiy. Tho books of NleUsche. In which the Supeini.in slowly giew fiom an idea Into it voodoo, are all comerncd with the gloilfl c.itlon of the picd.ttnry instincts of man ut the expense of the herd or gregarious In stincts. NOW the geographical situation of Kng kind has generated over many long centuries such pied.itoiy liiiltnct.t In her sons that, with little recognition of what they were doing from necessity nnd us u matter of course they conquered one-fifth of the earth's surface and learned to gov ern one-fifth of the world's peoples. Yet eo little (ilrHcrfmil, so little artleulnle, has the process been that only the tiniest frac tion of Englishmen have ever taken se llously the attempts of Kipling nnd othcis to create an Imperial consciousness, u sense of great race destiny. Englishmen are too healthy for that sort of thing. They pliy too much, meditate too much. They conquered an empire nil In the day's work, but they have always loathed any "Intel lectual" or "damned professor" making a philosophy of what they had clone. TllH ceographleal conditions of Germany, on the other hand, developed over long centuries tho gregarious, herding hisflncfj. Gemuthllchkelt," "Suengcrfcsts," music with Its subjective appeal, ' philosophy, dressing gowns and china pipes all the warm human attributes so Identified with tho old Germany were manifestations of such Instincts. But with suddenly developing power, wealth and lmpoitanre, a national dislike for these Instinctive race characteristics developed. Germany felt her oats. She wanted to swagger und strut, she wanted to throw off tho philosopher's cloak nnd assume "the attributes of an Imperial, con querlng race." Nietzsche feels the Impulses ubout him. He studies with Teuton thoroughness and lack of humor undent languages and shows that always men have apparently accepted the equations: "Bold, flerce-noble, good." "Weak, klnd-lcuoble, baBe." It wu3 what Germany wished, to hear. She accepted the equations avidly. And with their acccptnncp the world beholds an unthought-ot philosophy of force de velop in our modern life; sees predatory qualities, acted upon not simply and In stinctively and naturally, but deliberately, consciously and with articulate design. WITHOUT question the Germans con- WMwwimmm i " ' : i ."v -! ;." V.r '"V"' ) Bennett llberatelv sought to develop those Instincts and to accentuate their peculiar diameter Istlcs. But that Is a task which is beyond tho powers of man, who can develop his mind hut cannot deliberately change bis In stincts. .Moreover, It happens that tho truly predatory mces havo not only not worshiped uhstiaet force they have been somewhat ashamed of their own natuio mid hnve dev duped nil nppirent sentimen tality and hypocrisy to hide them; have elaborated sportsmanship and fair play to temper them. What gi eater paradox docs history 10 cord than that thn nation with Instinctive piodatory Inheritance should develop u philosophy of ft (sinfulness, hardness and exploitation'.' rpili: antithesis of the Superman phlloso - pliy may be summed up In a few sen tences by Thomas Huxley, who said: "Tho cosmic process has no sort of relation to moinl ends. Let us understand, mice and for nil, that the ethical progress of society depends not upon Imitating the cosmic process, still less In tunning away from It, but In combating it." In other vvoids, a cleanly iinlmal people learns slowly by self-control, service, pity and .altruism to temper beastliness, create standards of honor and conduct. A sud denly rich "highbrow" peopio uses logic and leason to glorify rudimentary hruto Instincts rather than to suppress them; accepts tho nonlntelllgcut, evolutionary forces of life ns the greatest forces nnd. Instead of combating them, assists nndper fects them. That Is the "trnnsvaluntlon of values" which tho world will observe with amaze ment long after Nietzsche's "transvalua tkm of values" has been forgotten. Tho Supetmnn was never a truly heroic figure. Ho was merely a .glorified cad, bounder and i otter, loud-mouthed, un scrupulous and selfish. JUs "brutal, frank philosophy," far from representing nny thing new or admirable, represented things very old and very bad untempered seltlsh ness und uncontrolled bruto Instincts, the slow mastery of which by Individuals or races lepresents tho only leal human prog- ess. The Superman, we can now clearly see, was but u crude glorification of tho very Instlnctlvo forces existent In every man and, opposed. In their essence, to uii the fine und beautiful things which will nnd discipline and altruistic development have purchased so-slowly Intthls old world of ouis. With which result of our scrutiny .we may now drop back Into the cosmic gar bage can the half-silly, half-fiendish fetish We took from It. Moloch, Mumbo-Jumbo and those hideous gods of ancient Peru will surely try to remove themselves as far us1 poasiblo from the noisome relic thus thrust umong them. So It Would Seem Spring is here now, or at least almost here, and we suppose those of our patriotic rltlaens who put up their automobiles when It was so slippery last winter, in order to win the war by conserving gasoline, are thinking of taking them out again In order to win the war by conserving time In go ing from one place to -another.
