WHERE IDEAS OF GREATNESS DIFFER
The London "Spectator"' of the present week
ivs in effect that the war in Europe has deprived
resident Wilson of a rightful claim to greatness
scause it has shown him to be "too fearful of i
•eaking neutrality." The "Spectator" professes
be reliably informed that that is the general
)ink>n of the American people regarding iheir
resident. Tfie "Spectator" says further:
President Wilson will go down in history as a man to
liom fate has been especially hard. But for the war the
»rld would probably have regarded hint as one of
nerica's greatest *»< l most high minded statesmen. As
is the verdict will be like that of Tacitus ou the Soman
nperor. Every oue would have deemed President Wilson
pable of nobly tilling his high office if he had been
itried in the fire of a great crisis. Political luck never
ruck a man harder tiiau it has struck him.
The "Spectator's" idea of greatness must be that
: too many of the men in places of much authority
id power in Europe,—men who might, had they
:en a little greater, have prevented the cataclysm
iat now is bringing death and ruin to their people
id their people's homes and institutions.
If President Wilson succeeds until the end of the
aropean war in doing what he has been doing
lUS far in keeping the United States out of the
nflict and thus conserving this nation as a source
food and other necessities for the sustenance of
e people of the war-weakened countries of the
arid, then perhaps, when history is written, it
ill show President Wilson to be a far greater man
an if he so far lacked forbearance at this time
permit America.—even though sorely tried, —
break neutrality.
Perhaps the London paper's attitude is prompted
some measure by a more or less pardonable preju
ce in favor of the Britaius which leads it to desire
see United States involved in the war on the side
the Allies.
SPOKEN ENGLISH GETS ATTENTION
Teachers in high schools and grade schools are
ginning to realize, it seems, that pupils cannot be
pected to learn how to use properly the English
iguage merely by writing compositions of certain
lgths on assigned subjects at stated intervals.
Practice in composition writing, when it becomes
udgery to students, does not have the beneficial
suits intended. It may become hateful to boys
d girls whose supplies of ideas arc not at any
ae especially abundant, because it rccpiires care
lly written work on topics which are not familiar
them and in which they have no interest.
A plan which seems to be working well in a nmu
r of schools, and which ought also to be applicable
tside of academic walls is that of training ears
hear as well as eyes to see even the slightest
ammatical errors. A Good English Club at the
iWitt Clinton High School, New York City, has
late been active in eliminating faults from the
flinary conversation of students. The members
Ve been intent upon detecting all flaws in the
eech of their companions. Although inter
fence would ordinarily be very annoying, jt has
d its advantages among these particular students.
Oral and written composition are so closely re
fed that thorough training of pupils in the former
ping recitations in the schools, easily leads to
ility in the latter. One teacher who made her
pils follow the principles of good writing in
iir class room speech taught them so well in that
,y how to give proper expression to their thoughts
M. she did not need to assign to them any great
lount of written composition work.
Cornell University recently established a depart- J

ment of expression in which the exercises are in
oral composition and supplement the regular in
struction in written English. Lack of tbfe power of
self-expression is evident among students in uni
versities as well as among those in secondary
schools. If needed improvements would be made
in the grade schools and the high schools, however,
in the training of pupils in oral and written compo
sition, the universities would not have to spend
precious time teaching the pupils who come to them
froiA these schools how to use correctly the English
language.
HEROISM IN AMERICAN RED CROSS SERVICE
Certain persons in Europe have since the outbreak
of the war been fighting fearlessly and facing death
unflinchingly, not for the cause of anj- country nor
for the realization of personal ambitions. As Amer
icans they have no interest in the outcome of the
military operations. As members of the medical
profession fulfilling the purposes of the Red Cross
they are combatting disease and death and running
chances of themselves falling victims to both.
At the headquarters of the Red Croßs in this coun
try reports have been received of the heroism of
American Red Cross doctors and nurses who arc
at present fighting tJie plague in stricken Servia. A
group of Americans is now on the way, according
to one account, to rescue countrymen who have been
facing death for some time in Qevgelia, and several
of the group have made final adjustments of their
personal affairs in expectation of certain death.
In Gevgelia. nine of twelve American Red Cross
nurses and three out of five surgeons, it is reported,
have been attacked by typhus. It is these toward
whom the rescue party is headed.
Official communications say that typhus and ty
phoid are spreading rapidly in Servia and that in
the last two months deaths have resulted from the!
• former alone to the number of 50,000. In the
plague-stricken districts American surgeons are or-;
ganizing the fight against the disease, and it is be- j
cause of their unselfish services, supplemented by |
the ministrations of the nurses, that the large lium-1
ber of victims is not considerably larger.
The lives of afflicted Servians cannot be saved!
without cost. Americans are sacrificing their own]
lives in the performance of their self-imposed tasks.
They are ib'ing as individuals in their endeavors
to save whole communities from a frightful malady.
With the approach of warm weather Europe may
well fear an unprecedented plague. Red Cross work-!
ers will not be able to stop severe epidemics, nor j
even noticeably to check them perhaps. Yet they
will relieve suffering here and prevent it there as
the Old World horrors increase. Humanity now has
and will have much for which to thank them.
And to think that anybody would go to reform Attornev
i General for information about poker!
It soon will be the wide open season for killing in
Europe, and it will be a race between disease and gun
powder in piling up the corpses.
In answer to your question, Geraldyne. we beg to inform
you that what the fashion papers say about this season's
skirts being "fuller" refers onlv to the material.

More Ring-neckea Pheasants Here
A consignment of 500 ring necked
pheasants for the State Game Commis
sion arrived in Philadelphia yesterday,
the second in the last few weeks,
making 1.000 iu all. These birds will !
be distributed throughout the State by
direction of Dr. Joseph Kalbfus. secre
tary of the Commission, but it is not
expected that they will live long. Many
attempts have been made to acclima
tize ring-necked pheasants in Pennsyl
vania, but all have failed. The birds
have only lived on the coast side of
Oregon, and soon die in colder lati
tudes. They cost $2.37 each, but the
demand from the sportsmek of the
State that a iot be brought here was
yielded to by the State Commission.
They are a beautiful bird, almost as
large as a chicken, and the cock pheas
ant has a long tail, wears sharp spur*
and is a great lighter, having been
known to engage a game rooster in
combat and kill the rooster. They do
not fly. They feed on the ground and
are hunted with dogs trained for the
purpose.

MAUDE ADAMS CHARMING
AGAIN IN 'QUALITY STREET'
Her First Appearance Here In That
Barrie Masterpiece Since Before
the Opera House Burned Olves
Bare Pleasure To a Crowded House
Harrisburg had seen Maude A damn
iu "Quality Street" before —ves, it
was some time ago, before the old
Grand oper.i house was destroyed, and
there still lingered the memory of the
daiutv, sweet little woman who was
the star of the piece in which Barrie
seems to have done bin very best in
the writing, but there were many iti
the splendid audience in the Majestic
last night who had never seen her iu
this play. To say that they were de
lighted with pl'av and player--ami
the company—is but putting it mildly.
Miss Adams, albeit she hue lost a
trifle of her youthful charm, is still
the accomplished, finished actress, with
no stage tricks but only her natural
artlessnoss, or artfulness (wrhjips, it
is—to give her actiu.; that cliarui,
that captivates her audience.
Seeing her in the old play one for
got that she has so !ong figured as a
star uiiil only saw the freshness of her
remarkable interpretation.
"Quality Street," for the sjke of
theme who have forgotten, is n story
of simple English country life, in
which the English ' gentle-lady figures
iu a love romance. The guiielessness
of a refined country maiden in love
with the soldier who goes to war una
ware of her love for him, and returns
to disclose that he is in love with her;
u final understanding brought about
as only Barrie can work out such
charming plot«, and all ending happily.
In her full maturity as an actress,
Miss Adams ban added to the charius
of former days, and her acting was
simply perfect. She wan the dainty
maiden, romantic aud modest, shrink
ing and coy, and prettily lover-like.
Jler company was one of the best we
have had here this season, and from
the star to minor character gave pleas
ure to an audience that filled every
seat, ups'airs and down, and sat en
raptured from the rising to the fall
of the curjain.
