And the best of it is you need nev

HENRY JAMES'
DICTATING EXPERIENCE
(William Lyon Phelps in the July
Yale Review.)
I did not dream until the year 1898
that Henry James could draw a win
some, lovable, charming little boy, who
would walk straight into our hearts.
This year was a notable year in our
writer's career; because it saw the
publication of "The Turn of the
Screw," which I found then and find
again to be the most powerful, the
most nerve-shattering ghost story I
have ever read. The connoting
strength of its author's reticence was
never diplayed to better advantage;
had he spoken plainly, the book might
have been barred from the mails; yet
it is a great work of art, profoundly
ethical, and making to all those who
are interested in the moral welfare
of boys and girls an appeal simply ter
rific in its intensity. With none of the
conventional machinery of the melo
drama, with no background of horri
ble or threatening scenery, with no
hysterical language, this story made
my blood chill, my spine curl, and i
every individual hair to stand on end. :
When I told the author exactly how |
I felt while reading it, and thanked
him for giving me sensations that I
thought no author could give me at
my age, he said that he was made'
happy by my testimony. "For," said
he. "I meant to scare the whole world
with that story; and you had precisely;
the emotion that I hoped to arouse in j
everybody. When I wrote it, I was'
too ill to hold the pen; 1 therefore die- |
tated the whole thing to a Scot sten-'
ographer. I was glad to try this ex
periment, for T believed that I should
be able to judge to its effect on the
whole world by its effect on the man
who should hear it first. Judge of my
dismay when from first to last page
this iron Scot betrayed not the slight
est shade of feeling! I dictated to him
sentences that I thought would make
him leap from his chair; he short
, handed them as though they had been
geometry, and whenever I paused to
see him collapse, he would enquire in
a dry voice, 'What next?' "

Companies D and I Are Guests
of House; Bill Good and Boys
Enjoy Themselves
To the tune of a patriotic air played
by the orchestra while the audience
stood and applauded loudly, compan
ies D and I of the National Guard of
Pennsylvania entered the Majestic the
ater last night, for a farewell look at
vaudeville. They were the guests of
Mr. Hopkins and from the first few 1
rows which they occupied, came fre
quently laughter and applause, the
very best evidence of their apprecia
tion of the manager's gratuity. Open
ing the bill for the last half of the
week are Dick Henry and Carrie Ade
laide in a singing and dancing act.
Mr. Henry carries off the honors with
a clever stunt in the form of com
pletely changing his dress while danc
ing. Santley and Norton offer some
good songs and some better jokes
with a clever encore. "Mr. Inquisi
tive" is the title of the next act, but
the title doesn't have so much to do
with the act as does-a new method of
treating the profession of dentistry.
Painless and entirely esthetic with a
dash of the "futuristic" is the newest
method, and, yes, a bevy of pretty
girls to make the patient feel at his
case. Some method. Pity is, that it
can't be done. There is music to the
act. with some exceptions. "Doc"
O'Neil "kids" his audience into a good
humor, but it's hard to tell who en-
Joys it the more, "Doc" or the au
dience. Pete and his Mule complete
the roster with a laughable sketch in
which Mr. Mule figures prominently
with all feet and body.

ALLIES COULD
EXTEND BLOCKADE
Possible to Neutralize Strategic
Advantages of Kiel
Canal
Paris. June 23. (Correspondence of
The Associated PressV The allies
could extend their blockade to the Ger
man coast in the Baltic and neutralize
the strategic advantages of the Kiel
Canal, according to Vice-Admiral De
gouy, of the French navy.
The first of the necessary operations
to accomplish this, he points out, would
be an attack upon the canal by an
aerial force of 120 to 150 units divided
into flotillas of twenty to thirty ma
chines each. One of the flotillas would
attack the bridge of Grunthal, one the'
viaduct of Rendsburg, and another the
bridge of I..evansau. while three other
flotillas held in reserve would repeat
the attack after an Interval of twenty
four to forty hours. ->ne fli. flotilla
would resume its attack after the
time required for taking on fresh sup
plies and the reserve flotillas would
follow again as before.
This continuity of attack from the
air upon works known to be vulner
able by reason of the instability of the
soil in certain places and the insuf
ficient reinforcement of certain bridge
heads after the enlargement of tlie
canal, would. Admiral Degouy declares,
assure obstruction of sufficient dura
tion; whatever defensive measures the
Germans might take against these con
certed attacks would not prevent fruit
ful result?.
While the base from which such air
assaults might be made is only hinted
at by Admiral Degouy. an operation
speedily executed would, according to
his theory, make possible a landing at
isolated points on the German coast und
its sufficient fortification so as fully
t oprotect the establishment o an im
mense aviation camp within sixty to
eighty mile 3 of the canal terminus.
Would Involve I.OKM
The forcing of the straits and mine
fields would involve considerable losses
f«-om submarines and mines before the
entente fleets would get into effective
contact either with the German battle
fleet or the defenses of the Elbe, the
Admiral declares, but be did not think
this should be considered as prohibi
tive of the effort. Admiral Degouy
discards the hypothesis that it would
be possible to surprise the German
fleet under present conditions: its mo
bility would be such that it could meet
an attack at either end of the canal,
since it requires only twenty-four
hours to pass through the Elbe and the
canal to the Grand Belt.
The entente allies could put into ac
tion 110 vessels of the line, of which
seventy-six are dreadnaughts and
twenty-eight are protected cruisers,
against forty-four German dread
naughts and three or four battle cruis
ers. according to the admiral's esti
mate. The Russian fleet Is not included
in these figures, but Admiral Degouy
points out that even If the Russians
could not join the British and French
fleets they would detach a certain num
ber of the ble German units so as to
enable the allies to present at both
ends of the canal simultaneously forces
outnumbering the entire German fleet.
This estimate takes no account of
probable losses In approaching the po
sitions. and hence the admiral holds
that effective operations of the air fleet
on the canal is an essential condition
of a successful attack. The forcing of
the Grand Relt and the Belt
in sufficient strength to blockade the
flord of Kiel and the forcing from west
to east of the Fehrmann Belt. Admiral
Degouy declares. Is, notwithstanding
the mine field and submarines, far
easier than the forcing of the Dardan
elles, and entirely feasible with the co
operation of an aerial fleet.

WHEN REDSKIN IS
GIVEN SHEEPSKIN
Popular Science Monthly Tells
How Carlisle Students
Graduate
A gaily decorated platform on
which are seated the graduates, fac
ulty, speaker and other invited
guests; a lengthy program of music,
orations and addresses, probably all
cut to order and sugar-coated for the
occasion; an award of sheepskins and
a benediction—this, in brief, consti
tutes the stereotyped graduation cere
mony of most colleges and schools.
But there is one school which has
a different commencement, says the
Popular Science Monthly for July, it
is the United Stales Indian industrial
School at Carlisle. Pennsylvania. Its
twelve hundred students are children
of America's original people, and the
institution is the largest industrial
school in the country.
Graduat'm day is a day of proof
and snowing. A girl steps to the plat
form. and curtains near the back of
the stage are suddenly drawn. If she
is a graduate in nursing, other nurses
step out with two patients and illus
trate her talk. If she tells how wash
ing in the home should he done, oth
er girls are there to help her Illus
trate it.
An Indian lad graduates in agricul-1
ture. He has his charts of farm lands!
with plots to illustrate the methods of
scientific farming. Another boy is a j
plumber, and while he is explaining'
trade helpers are putting together |
bathroom fixtures and sections of!
heating plants.
Dairying from beginning to end is
described by another hoy while pretty
Indian milkmaids churn real butter
and place it in molds for marketing.
How to furnish a home is explained
by another lad, while girls help him
arrange various pieces of furniture in
sectional rooms. Here is a splendid
house model and here is a boy telling
how it is erected. Helping him are
other carpenters and the house shown
is completed on the stage so far as
the woodwork is concerned, even to
placing lath for plastering and erect
ing the inner staircases.
Blacksmnhing is another trade
taught at the Carlisle school and a
blacksmith shop is placed on the plat
form. Several pieces of curved iron
and wood are bolted together and
wheels fastened to the ends. Run
ning-gears of a carriage are thus
made. Another lad grasps the bel
lows-lever of a forge and soon flames
spurt upward. A smithy thrusts real
irons into the Are and presently two
boys are pounding out red-hot horse
shoes on a real anvil. Sparks fly into
the air and the ring of the anvil
sounds throughout the building. An
other lad finishes the shoes at a bench
vise. Such is the way Indians grad
uate.
