His complexion was not of the clennest ever viewed nnd he was niatked deep with smallpox pits. Resides this, lie had a wooden leg. Re Hint ns it' may, he 1 knew how to whitewash and that was the point. Rnrbnra, however, did not think it ended there.

Though n child of Euro pean romnntieism, the romantic temper in Whitman was invigorated by the realities and purposef illness' of American life, nnd the wnr for the Union joined with the inspira tion of Lincoln's personality gave to that temper its positive national expression.

ITS SECOND CONCERT Philadelphia Violinist Has a Hear ing, as Well as Good Local Or chestral Composition The Philharmonic Society of Philadelphia gae its sccoud Sunday evening symphony concert before n large audience nt the Shu b6rt Theatre last evening. The orchestra consisted of about sc'cltty musicians, under the direction of 'Wnlter Pfeiffer. In this concert the organization started to carry out some of the, things in which it can be of the greatest possible value to the music of the city, for it gave 11 talented joung Philadelphia soloist the opportunity of being heard, nnd nlso presented .a com position of one of the representative musi cians of the city. The concert opened with the Vorspicl from the "Mcistersinger," played by the or diestra witli good effect. This wns followed by the E minor (New World) Symphony of Dvornk. of which Sir. PfcMer gnve a vigor ous rending. The work was creditably per formed when the very limited amount of rc hearsuUis taken into consideration. The soloist of the concert wn William Greenberg, a joung violinist of this city, who appeared in Snrasatc's well-known "Gypsy Airs." There is not much iu nn interpreta tive way thnt can be done with this thor oughly violinistic composition, as it is writ ten for the instrument in a purely solo capacity, nnd the main requirement in its presentation is 11 sure nnd fluent technique. This Mr. (Jreenberg has nnd, iu addition, plnjeil with a poise rare in so oung nud (with orchestral accompaniment) inexpe rienced a player. During the tiunle he broke n string, but quickly exchanged, iolins 'with the I'Micci transfer, Mr. Witzcmnnn, uud curried the piece to 11 successful conclusion, in spito of the fnct Hint he was playing on n strange instrument He wns heurtily en cored and responded by phijing the closing movement of the Snrnsate number ngnini with equal success. The original composition presented was tlio introduction nnd scene from "Aucnssiu nnd Xicolette," by Sir. Heddu Van den Rcemt, a member of the Philadelphia Or chestra and one of the leading musicians of the citj. The music ia based upon a medi ovnl pnstornl. but there is none of the Orion -tnl color which is so frequently used in sim ilar works nnd generally with a forced ef fot. Sir. Vim Jen Iioeint hns wisely re frained fnun this doubtful experiment, and his work us a whole follows the classic (iiiodel. It is melodious, well orchestrated, especial ly in the use of the more unusual instru ments, .such as the English horn, bass clari net, el lotera. nud carries out with fidelity the spirit of the story whiih was printed on the program. The composition was written some j ears ago iind was first gheu nt the concert which the Manuscript Slusic So ciety gnve in conjunction with the Philadel phia Orchestra. The following season Sir. Stokovvski put iu on the program of the reg ular svinphony 1 onccrts. It was well per formed last evening under the baton of the composer, who conducted with skill and re straint. The roncert closed with the brilliant and tuneful "William Toll" overture of Rossini, of which Sir. Pfeiffer gnve another vigorous reading, taking the closing movement nt a terrific tempo, which some of the members of the orchestra maintained with some dif ficult.!. ENGLISH COLLECTION AT ART ACADEMY "Pictorial Record of War," From Overseas, Will Be Opened Next Wednesday "England's Pictorial Record of tho War." which is said to be the largest collection of contemporary art brought from overseas, has reached Philadelphia and will be opened at the Academy of the Fine Arts next Wednesday. The pictures, made by noted artists under the auspices of the Rritish Ministry "of In formatioji, include portraits of famous gen erals and scenes at the fiont and'among the munitions workers of England, and have at tracted much attention during their tour of the United States. There arc oils, water-colors, etchings and drawings, and they came here .from the Carnegie Institute of' Pitts burgh. The pictuios will occupy all of the north ern galleries and will remain in this city for one month. The exhibition vvljl be open to tho public without charge. Aprivatc view will be held on Easter Slonday evening and several addresses will be given during the course of the show. Twenty-four artists are represented, among them Sir William Orpen, Sir John Lnvery, James JIcBey and Muirhead Rone, who were officially appointed war painters. There arc also C. H. W. Nevinson, who en listed in 1014 as a motor transport driver, was invalided after two years and wont ngain to the front as an artist ; Frank Rrangw.vn, Rothenstoin, Spencer Pryne and Augustus John. EMERGENCY AID GIRLS CONTINUE WAR DUTIES Aides Should Not Be Criticized for Wearing Unjforms, Mrs. Norman MacLeod Points Out .A defense of the right of giris in the Emergency Aid corps and the motor service corps to continue to wear their uniforms is contained. in the report of Sirs. Nor man MacLeod of the work don" by these organizations duringtne last mouth. t "If persons who have taken occasion to criticize the aides for wearing their uni forms should take the tiouble to investi gate, they would discover these girls with their many duties should not discard thflr uniforms," said Mrs. MacLeod. "Roth or ganizations are conducted under strict mil itary regulations." Scores of charitable associations are be ing helped by the organizations, and tho majority of the girls are now preparing to take nn active part in the fifth Victory Loan campaign, it is pointed out. During the last month, according to Mrs. MacLeod's report, the motor corps visited the homes of 200 persons who had suffered from infantile paralysis, in order to niukc investigations for tho infantile . paralysis committee of the Emergency Aid. Twice weekly some of the members use their au tomobiles to convey wounded, officers from Mrs. Richard x Cndwaladcr's Convalescent Home, at Camp Hill, to theatres iu Phila delphia. They also have taken a number of wounded officers and enlisted men from railroad stations to hospitals.

Many people collect and sell or give away their waste paper, but there is a much larger waste, it seems to me, in these days of canned goods, from the discarded tinned cans. Hero is a waste of iron, tin, and soldier which could and should be utiliz-ed. The waste of metals in this way is greater than would be that in carrying out the foolish idea of sinking the Orinnn sub marines and warships. '. A. O. Writes of Fools and Fogies To the Editor of the Ki-tmng Public Ledger. Sir Your editorial stand in 1 elation to the tremendously important i-siies of the peace treaty and leagueof nations strikes me as admirable. No one can ever measure the evil thnt has been done or that may result from the lack of a united stand by all Americans to back our representatives in the pence council. It's an association of nations or war, and more war. nnd worse wars; and America would not be able to keep out of thorn yiMy. It's the fool pacifists and tho oltl fogy dic tionaries, men without spiritual vision, who seem not to see the necessity for an asso ciated effort to preserve the peace of the world. .1. A. OAKKS.

The Cause of Peace Delay 'lo the Editor of the Evening Fubtlc Ledger: yr Senators Lodge and Knox, with their league of thirty-seven Itepiiblican senators (Democrats not invited), and George Whar-' ton Pepper, wifh his so-called "League to Preserve American Independent e," huvc done more to cause delay in the settlement of peace, and to cause division and strife among the peace delegates at Paris than the strong est and most active and effective pro-Oerman enthusiasts could do, I do not believe their deliberate intention was to do this, but I do believo that they intended to do all they could to discredit President Wilson wth the Peace Conference. Tlut in discrediting him they were discrediting the country for which he was the officiiM representative. In dis crediting their country they were depriving it of the great and commanding inQucneo for good that it had for settling justly nnd hon orably the great problems of the world. l.ct us not allow the politicians to foyl us vylth such sllly'fcara as that this league would imperil our Monrof Doctrine!
