‘SECOND “PLACEZGOES TO 1919 WITH ONLY
_BRYN.MAWR, PA, APRIL 25, 1917.
Price 5 Cents
In spite of an extraordinarily interest-
ing and varied program the recital by
Miss Edith Wynne Matthison last Satur-
day evening, given for the benefit of
1919’s Endowment Fund, was monotonous.
It is well known that a dramatic recital
is often disappointing and, although Miss
Matthison’s uniformly deep pitched voice
is highly successful in the portrayal of a
single dramatic role, it was not satisfac-
tory in the reading of many different
poems. The recital cleared $240.
Among the selections on the first half
of the program were “The Child’s Grace”,
by Robert Herrick, very simple and ap-
pealing, and Coventry Patmore’s “The
Toys”, which showed finely the remorse
of the father, who, having sent his moth-
erless boy to bed in a moment of anger, is
now weeping over him and his pathetic
little toys.
In her recitation of Shelley’s “Skylark”
Miss Matthison portrayed to her audience
the poet, aspiring to the heights of song,
but in trying for lyrical swiftness she
missed the proper lightness of effect.
The “Recessional” an Appropriate Encore
In the latter half of the evening the se-
lections most enjoyed by the audience
were “A Musical Instrument”, by Mrs.
Browning, “The West Wind” by John
Masefield, and Kipling’s ‘“Recessional”,
which Miss Matthison gave as an encore.
In these poems Miss Matthison reached
the height of dramatic expression of the
whole recital.
The poems from “The Gitanjali” by Ta-
gore were typically oriental. The con-
trast between the serious beginning and
lighter ending was well conceived and
rendered.
Mr. King said of the recital that Miss
Matthison was one of the few actresses
with really good diction.
THREE RECORDS BROKEN
IN ,TRACK—SENIORS
CAPTURE HONORS
—_—_——_
HALF AS MANY POINTS
By breaking three records and winning
95 points the seniors captured first place
and a big margin in the preliminary track
meet held last Saturday. The sopho-
mores, showing up well in the dashes and
hurdles, came out second with 40 points,
but will have to contest the winners hotly
in the final meet if they wish to cut down
their long lead and get a chance at the
championship.
In several events the juniors were
obliged to default and their consequent
failure to secure a single place will prob-
ably not be repeated next week when
their entry list is complete. E. Downs
and R. Cheney, who formerly starred
for 1918 in the dashes, and P. Turle,
who won third place as_individ-

M. O'CONNOR TO MANAGE NEWS
F. Buffum Chosen Business Manager
M. O'Connor '18 was elected manag-

at a meeting of the board on Monday.
Miss O’Connor has been on the News
since her sophomore year. She is
vice-president of Self-Government and
was class secretary sophomore year.
F. Buffum '18 was elected business
manager. She is a member of the Un-

1912 SECURES GABRILOWITSCH TO
PLAY FOR ENDOWMENT FUND
Concert To Be in Cloisters—Sounding
Board Will Be Built
Ossip Gabrilowitsch, who will give a
concert May 18th in the cloisters for the
benefit of 1912’s Endowment Fund, is
classed as “among the four or five leading
pianists of the world”. When the Rus-
sian Choir tried to give their concert in
the cloisters last year the acoustics were
too bad. 1912 plans to build a huge
sounding board for the occasion.
When Mr. Gabrilowitsch first visited
this country fourteen years ago he was
a player of “wonderful freshness and
fire’, one critic has remarked, but his
reputation was not made until a later
visit. One of the most interesting of his
recent exploits was a series of orchestra
concerts given in Berlin and Munich be-
fore the war illustrating the development
of music from Bach to the present day.
At the outbreak of the war Mr. Gabrilo-
witsch, who with his wife (Clara Clem-
ens, the contralto, a daughter of Mark
Twain) was living in Munich, was ar-
rested as a spy, but fortunately only de-
tained a short time. They had to promise
not to return to Germany until after the
war.
Several years ago Mr. Gabrilowitsch
wore the usual artistic long hair, but an
incident in Chicago convinced him that
flowing locks were a source of danger.
He was standing near a cigar lighter
not well. Prompt investigation led to the
discovery that his forelock was aflame.
“Rub it out”, cried someone, but he real-
ized that while he could play with his
hair burned he could not play with his
hands burned so he seized a handkerchief
and put out the fire. “Since then I have
visited the barber at prudently frequent
intervals”, he said.

|1918 GIVES “BEAU BRUMMEL ”
|Four-Act Play Written for Mansfield
“Beau Brummel”, a play in four acts by
Clyde Fitch, will be given by 1918 as their
Junior-Senior Supper Play on Friday and
Saturday nights of this week. Virginia
Kneeland will appear in the title réle.
“Beau Brummel” was written by Clyde
Fitch for Richard Mansfield and the idea
of the play was Mansfield’s. It was first
produced at the Madison Square Theatre
on May 17, 1890. The 250th performance
took place at the Garden Theatre, on
January 30, 1891. Clyde Fitch spent a
year in London getting local color for the
play and studying the period from 1778
to 1840, when the historical Beau Brum-
mel lived. Penniless and forgotten after
long reigning in society Beau dies in a
garret in the play as in real life.
Automobiles are requested not to park
behind the gymnasium or to drive up be-
hind it except until eight o’clock, when
the rear door of the gymnasium will be
locked. After eight automobiles must
drive round by the Gulph Road and enter
through the Merion driveway.
PASTOR FETLER THE
BILLY SUNDAY OF RUSSIA
PREACHES AT VESPERS
Russian Girl Students Suicides for Lack
of Aim in Life
Pastor Fetler, the Billy Sunday of Rus-
sia, who was sentenced to Siberia for
holding tabernacle meetings in Petrograd,
drew a vivid contrast between student
conditions at Bryn Mawr and in the uni-
versities of Russia.
Fifteen thousand students, he said, live
huddled in one building at the cost of 15
kopecks or 7% cents a day, while many
who cannot attend the universities com-
mit suicide for lack of aim in life. Pastor
Fetler, who is in this country to arouse in-
terest in work among war prisoners. in
Germany and Austria, came here a con-
vict under a four months’ sentence and re-
turns a free man by the recent proclama-
tion of religious liberty in Russia.
FORMER BRYN MAWR
STUDENT WANTS HELP FOR
BABIES OF PARIS
1S DEPENDENT ON INDIVIDUAL GIFTS
Helen Davenport Gibbons ex-’06, who is
now doing war relief work in Paris among
the children, has sent an appeal to Bryn
Mawr College through the News to aid in
her work. Since the war began she has
taken care of 1300 children. Her work is
entirely dependent on individual contribu-
tions, and six dollars will clothe one child.
Mrs. Gibbons is the wife of Dr. Herbert
Adams Gibbons, author of “The New Map
of Europe”, and is herself an author. Her
recently published “The Red Rugs of Tar-
sus”, is a vivid and interesting description |
of the Armenian massacres of 1909 from
a fresh and unusual viewpoint, that of an
outsider on the spot. Her admiration for
the Armenians is intense and “The appeal
on my sympathies”, she says, “made by
the sufferings of the Armenians of to-day
peauired that something should be done”.
For her work in Paris Mrs. Gibbons
wants money especially. Checks may be
made out to her order and any supplies
may be sent through the War Relief
Clearing House, 133 Charieton Street,
UNDERGRADUATES DO NOT
BAR MERITLESS FROM
PREPAREDNESS COURSES
May Petition to Continue Patriotic Work
MOTION AFFECTS TWENTY-FIVE
The meritless will not be barred from
preparedness courses by the student body,
for the original decision advising that
they be kept out was reversed at a sec-
ond undergraduate meeting Monday noon.
The vote taken at this meeting affects
about twenty-five students, who will now
petition the faculty to allow them to con-
tinue the courses which they have begun.
D. Shipley '17, president of the Asso-
ciation, read a statement from the Under-
graduate Board defending the power of
the Association to keep the meritless out
of preparedness classes. “There are two
courses of appeal’, she said, “who may
decide the question, and first comes the
Undergraduate Association. The faculty
acts as a higher court of appeal”.
Last Week’s Meeting Transacts Odds and
Ends of Business
At the meeting held the Friday previ-
ous Miss Shipley announced the cut sta-
tistics, which show a much higher rate
this semester than last. Twenty-nine stu-
‘|}dents have cut six times while last sem-
ester only nine had cut six times. A sense
of the meeting was suggested but not
passed that the magazine room be moved
down stairs to the present Christian As-
sociation Library. The bad light in the
C. A. Library was urged as a conclusive
argument against such a change.
A motion was proposed and almost
unanimously defeated that the Associa-
tion should regulate dress worn at plays
where men. were admitted, with a special
protest against jumpers. The prevailing
opinion was that such a matter was one
for individual taste and public opinion.
DR. GRAY TRAINS FOR ARMY
Will Leave Bryn Mawr Two Weeks Early
Dr. Howard L. Gray is planning to
leave Bryn Mawr on May 4th or 5th to
enter one of the fourteen government
camps of the Reserve Officers’ Training
Corps. Each of these camps purposes to
give 2500 men three months of intensive
training, and those who pass the final ex-
aminations will probably receive coni-
missions in the cavalry, infantry, artil-
lery, or engineers.
Preparatory to leaving Dr. Gray is giv-
ing his classes two lectures instead of
one each day.

As an experiment two free concerts are
being given on successive Sunday after-

first last week and the second next Sun-
day. If the venture proves successful
such concerts will be given all next win-

“They Toll Not”!
With the example of Beau Brummel,
the “glass of fashion and the mould of
form”, before us on Saturday evening,
the decision of the Undergraduate Asso-
ciation as to jumpers worn at plays seems
heresy indeed. 1918 plans to station at
the door a fashion expert who will censor
all costumes in order that we may be
quite A la mud and correct in every par-
ticular’. Those arriving in deshabille
can only exclaim, in the immortal words
of the play: “Great Heavens! the bailiff”,
and retire in confusion to their boudoirs.
The Right of Eminent Domain
Many events of late, both national and
local, have conspired to point out the vir-
tues of unanimity. President Wilson em-
phasized it in his proclamation of April
17th: “The supreme test of the nation
has come. We must all speak, act, and
serve together”! This week’s Independ-
ent, in an article entitled “United We
Stand”, declares:
“Never in the history of the United
States have the people of this country
entered a war with such unanimity of
mind and given it such united support.
In the days when an Englishman named
George Washington took up arms against
a German king called George III we were
very far from being united. A large and
influential part of the population took the
Tory side and all through the Revolution
the country was torn by dissensions. The
War of 1812 was a sectional war. It was
approved by a bare majority in Congress
and New England threatened to secede
because of it. The Mexican War was re-
garded with abhorrence in the North—
and the popular song of the day was:
“Go, go, g0,
Mr. Polk, you know,
Bids you fight and kill and quell,
Cut their throats and make them yell,
Send their spirits down to hell,
”Y
Conquer Mexico”!
Again, in a recent question nearer
home, the singlemindedness with which
the whole college, faculty and students
attacked preparedness was a strong ar-
gument for taking common counsel.
But no matter how united a nation or
even a college may become there must
still be division of powers. The action
of the undergraduates in making deci-
sions concerning “merits” looks like an
infringement on the academic domain of
the faculty which is not likely to prove
of much value. The case of merits is too
personal a one to be decided by a court
partly composed of the culprits.
wo tek Milan ot fas Oia ek
the liberty of commenting upon the letter
and editorial in the last number of your
excellent paper regarding the use of the
college grounds for the raising of food
crops.
The present movement to stimulate pro-
duction and avoid waste is most com-
mendable, but it is quite possible that
such efforts may be misdirected and re-
sult in an economic loss. ~
Let us suppose that the college grounds
are planted with potatoes (which offer
the greatest possibilities) and consider
what would be the probable result.
The college grounds have not been
plowed for many years; the soil is hard
and compact; tree roots extend close
under the sod over much of it; there is a
lack of humus, and when plowed it would
be difficult to get a seed bed that would
yield a fair crop. Several years of plow-
ing and the addition of manure well
plowed in would be necessary to secure
this.
Therefore, if it is decided to put a crop
in this year, it would be necessary to use
ground quite unprepared for the purpose.
To get even fair results it would be nec-
essary to add large quantities of potash
fertilizers, and as these come only from
Germany and the American stocks are al-
most exhausted, this would be very ex-
pensive, if not indeed impossible.
It is my judgment, therefore, that any
crop which is put upon the college
grounds within the next year or two
would be a disappointment.
Another question which should be con-
sidered is that of the labor which would
be used in preparing the ground and tend-
ing these crops. This would all have to
be hired, as I should not expect the col-
lege girls to do more than drop the:pota-
by “some farmer. This farmer and his
teams and plow and the men-who are
employed later to care for the crop would
be taken from farms where they could use
their energies under better conditions and
produce more than they could possibly
produce on the college campus.
I assume that it would not be proposed
to use the college grounds in this way
more than one or two or three years (in
producing each time a disappointing
crop) and at the end of that time the
lawns would be restored. This would re-
quire a large amount of labor which
should be charged up against the experi-
ment.
Altogether, therefore, I feel that in
making this venture the college itself
would be contributing nothing and doing
nothing of value to the community, but
would, on the other hand, be diverting
labor from useful occupations to an en-
terprise that is exceedingly doubtful, to
say the least.
In my opinion, anyone who desires to
aid in the present movement for national
economy should consider what labor he or
she is best fitted to undertake and do
with. the worker’s own hands, and not at-
tempt to direct labor in occupations which
are entirely unfamiliar. I believe that the
college girl can best help by continuing
her course without being agitated by
these efforts to find something unusual to
do, and when her college year is over,
take a hand in solving some of the domes-
tic problems which she will find at home.
Yours very truly,
Charles G. Rupert.

SCHOLARSHIP TO JUNIOR
TO LIVE IN NEW YORK FOR JULY
The Charity Organization Society of
New York has invited a junior to be its
guest in New York, living at one of the
settlement houses and working under
them for the month of July. The ex-
penses including board and the railway
fare from college to New York is given
them.
Eleven other students will also repre-
sent eleven other colleges, the six women
staying together in one settlement house
and the men in another, and all meeting
for discussion.
The work will include taking a boy or
girl to a dispensary, taking allowances to
the aged, the finding of employment for
the head of a family, and helping children,
crippled, unemployed and sick. Saturday
afternoons and Sundays will be free and
recreations will be planned for the stu-
dents so that they will see how the people
of New York find their amusements. Any
one interested should communicate with
Dr. Kingsbury at once.

“The third of the best-known colleges
for women in America is Bryn Mawr,
which is in Pennsylvania, near the univer-
sity for men, Haverford. It was later in
foundation than the other two colleges
mentioned (Wellesley and Vassar) having
come into existence in 1885. The princi-
pal of Haverford, Dr, Isaac Sharpless, is
on the governing board of Bryn Mawr,

B. M. CLUB OF NEW YORK
INVITES SENIORS TO JOIN
Initiation Fee Waived for Those Who Will
Join Within One Year
Seniors are now eligible to the Bryn
Mawr Club of New York. By joining
within one year of graduation they n
not pay the initiation fees.
There are three possible classes of
memberships—resident, suburban {within
forty miles of New York), and /non-resi-
dent—all of which give the use of rooms
and restaurant. The club hovse is situ-
ated at 137 East Fortieth St
ently near the Grand Central Station.
Represented in Fiction
A cosmopolitan collection of new books
has gathered on the shelves of the New
Book Room during vacation. Among the
most important is the series of “Pelle the
Conqueror”, comprising four volumes; .
“Boyhood”, “Apprenticeship”, “The Great
Struggle”, and “Daybreak”, by the Danish
writer, Martin Andrew Nexé, translated
by Jessie Muir and Bernard Miall. Al-
though each is in itself a unified story,
the four volumes when taken together de-
scribe “a career of experiment, of search
for the meaning of life—and a successful
search”. It is a study of the labor move-
ment as a whole through the story of the
life of a Bornholm peasant.
Other novels that are new for the li-
brary are “Anna of the Five Towns”, by
Arnold Bennett, and “The New Machia-
velli’, by H. G. Wells. Here also are
three works of Dostoevsky, “A Raw
Youth”, “The Insulted and Injured”, and
“The Eternal Husband and Other Sto-
ries”, which have recently been translated
by Susan Garnett. These translations are
the first version in easy idiomatic Eng-
lish that has been made of this “most
deeply Russian of the Russians”.
The Drama Criticized
Among the new critical works there are
three books on modern drama and drama-
tists, two of which, ‘“Dunsany the Drama-
tist”, by Edward Hale Bierstadt, and “The
Contemporary Drama of Ireland”, by Er-
nest A. Boyd, treat of Lord Dunsany. The
former is a fascinating sketch of that
Irishman’s works and personality, and the
latter describes the movements and ten-
dencies of modern drama in Ireland, and
shows how “after long years of purely..
political struggle the soul of Ireland has
once more found expression in literature”.
In “The Contemporary Drama of Eng-
land”, by Thomas H. Dickinson, the au-
thor has taken a rather critical attitude in
writing of the successes and failures of
English drama from the accession of Vic-
toria to the beginning of the Great War.
ETHOS SUPREME
Even though the substitution of women
in the trade of printing would result, it is
said, in more detailed and careful work,
it could hardly result in-a- more supreme
esthetic feeling than that evinced by the
printer of the Lantern, who encouraged
the editors to mark all the blank verse
plainly, so that the compositor would not
try to make “poetry” out of it.

SCHOLARSHIP TO JUNIOR
TO LIVE IN NEW YORK FOR JULY
The Charity Organization Society of
New York has invited a junior to be its
guest in New York, living at one of the
settlement houses and working under
them for the month of July. The ex-
penses including board and the railway
fare from college to New York is given
them.
Eleven other students will also repre-
sent eleven other colleges, the six women
staying together in one settlement house
and the men in another, and all meeting
for discussion.
The work will include taking a boy or
girl to a dispensary, taking allowances to
the aged, the finding of employment for
the head of a family, and helping children,
crippled, unemployed and sick. Saturday
afternoons and Sundays will be free and
recreations will be planned for the stu-
dents so that they will see how the people
of New York find their amusements. Any
one interested should communicate with
Dr. Kingsbury at once.

Emphasizes High Standards of Exam-
inations
In a of a Recent Tour in
Mh,
ies near Havertord” and nite
“stiff” entrance examinations and a “se-
lect” membership. The quotation reads:
“The third of the best-known colleges
for women in America is Bryn Mawr,
which is in Pennsylvania, near the univer-
sity for men, Haverford. It was later in
foundation than the other two colleges
mentioned (Wellesley and Vassar) having
come into existence in 1885. The princi-
pal of Haverford, Dr, Isaac Sharpless, is
on the governing board of Bryn Mawr,
and both colleges are under the Society
of Friends. It educates about four hun-
dred girls, and its entrance examination
is always stiff, so as to keep the members
select as the space is limited”’.
NEW HEAD PROCTORS IN OFFICE
1919’s new head proctors went into of-
fice last Tuesday. E. Biddle who was
elected from Merion, tendered her resig-
nation at a hall meeting, saying that she
was often away over the week-ends, and
E. Carus was elected in her place. The
new proctors are: Pem West, Marjorie
Martin; Pem East, Frances Day; Rocke-
feller, Marjorie Ewen; Denbigh, Augusta
Blue; Merion, Clara Hollis; Radnor,
Eleanor Marquand.
B. M. CLUB OF NEW YORK
INVITES SENIORS TO JOIN
Initiation Fee Waived for Those Who Will
Join Within One Year
Seniors are now eligible to the Bryn
Mawr Club of New York. By joining
within one year of graduation they n
not pay the initiation fees.
There are three possible classes of
memberships—resident, suburban {within
forty miles of New York), and /non-resi-
dent—all of which give the use of rooms
and restaurant. The club hovse is situ-
ated at 137 East Fortieth St
ently near the Grand Central Station.
Represented in Fiction
A cosmopolitan collection of new books
has gathered on the shelves of the New
Book Room during vacation. Among the
most important is the series of “Pelle the
Conqueror”, comprising four volumes; .
“Boyhood”, “Apprenticeship”, “The Great
Struggle”, and “Daybreak”, by the Danish
writer, Martin Andrew Nexé, translated
by Jessie Muir and Bernard Miall. Al-
though each is in itself a unified story,
the four volumes when taken together de-
scribe “a career of experiment, of search
for the meaning of life—and a successful
search”. It is a study of the labor move-
ment as a whole through the story of the
life of a Bornholm peasant.
Other novels that are new for the li-
brary are “Anna of the Five Towns”, by
Arnold Bennett, and “The New Machia-
velli’, by H. G. Wells. Here also are
three works of Dostoevsky, “A Raw
Youth”, “The Insulted and Injured”, and
“The Eternal Husband and Other Sto-
ries”, which have recently been translated
by Susan Garnett. These translations are
the first version in easy idiomatic Eng-
lish that has been made of this “most
deeply Russian of the Russians”.
The Drama Criticized
Among the new critical works there are
three books on modern drama and drama-
tists, two of which, ‘“Dunsany the Drama-
tist”, by Edward Hale Bierstadt, and “The
Contemporary Drama of Ireland”, by Er-
nest A. Boyd, treat of Lord Dunsany. The
former is a fascinating sketch of that
Irishman’s works and personality, and the
latter describes the movements and ten-
dencies of modern drama in Ireland, and
shows how “after long years of purely..
political struggle the soul of Ireland has
once more found expression in literature”.
In “The Contemporary Drama of Eng-
land”, by Thomas H. Dickinson, the au-
thor has taken a rather critical attitude in
writing of the successes and failures of
English drama from the accession of Vic-
toria to the beginning of the Great War.
ETHOS SUPREME
Even though the substitution of women
in the trade of printing would result, it is
said, in more detailed and careful work,
it could hardly result in-a- more supreme
esthetic feeling than that evinced by the
printer of the Lantern, who encouraged
the editors to mark all the blank verse
plainly, so that the compositor would not
try to make “poetry” out of it.

= “Meet the Present Labor Crisis
The feeble-minded, in such a labor sit-
uation as the present, offer a large supply
of cheap labor easily available at the ex-
pense of a little training, said Mr. Alexan-
der Johnson, Field Secretary of the Na-
tional Committee on the provision for the
feeble-minded, who spoke before Miss
Kingsbury’s class in social study last
Wednesday.
He went on to explain that the fields
cannot begin to be cultivated to their full
capacity on account of the shortage of
labor. The most successful plan for meet-
ing this emergency, he said, was that of
Mr. George Barnstein of New York, who
establishes colonies of twenty boys on
100 acres of land, which he has them cul-
tivate intensively, allowing them to work
out in their spare time for neighboring
farmers. In this way a large class who
might be a menace to the community are
kept contented and self-supporting and
prevented from leaving behind them an-
other generation like themselves.
To-night Mrs. Raymond Robins, Na-
tional President of the Women’s Trade
League, will talk on the protection and
advancement of woman in industrial pur-
suits.
CAMPUS NOTES
Dr. Crenshaw has advised all those tak-
ing the Minor Chemistry course who wish
to use their knowledge of chemistry in a
preparedness course to learn stenography.
He said that already positions were open
in munition factories for stenographers
who know something about chemistry.
Dr. Savage read from the Western
verse of Henry Herbert Knibbs at the
English Club tea last /Wednesday, intro-
ducing the selections/ with a preface by
himself, in which he urged that the pur-
suit of the modern be carried on with dis-
crimination.
The sophomores have voted to give up
their class banquet and have a picnic to
which everyone brings her own supper.
The money saved will be devoted to War
Relief.
1920 will have a reception in Rockefel-
ler Hall with speeches and stunts instead
of a class supper. Alice Harrison has
been elected as toastmistress.
Professor Benjamin Le Roy Miller, who
is to give an illustrated lecture in Taylor
on Friday evening, is Professor of Geology
at Lehigh University. Dr. Miller was
Associate in Geology at Bryn Mawr from
1903-07.
Hilda Raetzmann, Fellow in German,
has won a German Fellowship at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin.
By a recent decision of the Self-Gov-
ernment Board graduates who are not yet
twenty-five may act as chaperons to the
Bryn Mawr movies.
“Dream Life”, a poem by Mary Senior
ex-’'18, has been published in the North
American Review for March.
Dr. Ferree read a paper on “Lighting in
Relation to the Eye”, before the American
Philosophical Society for Promoting Use-
ful Information, last week.
WOMEN IN EXECUTIVE POSITIONS

ences held in Taylor last Friday Miss
Florence Jackson, of the Boston Bureau
of Occupations for Trained Women, dis-
cussed the executive positions open to
women. The main requirements of an ex-
ecutive, she said, are ability to control
and keep happy the workers under her, a
firm belief in the policy of her firm, and
a thorough knowledge of her own job and
of those of her assistants.
Executive Committees, chosen by the
Board from the members elected one
from each class, have been announced.

BUNTHORNE A PACIFIST ?
THE SENTIMENTAL FASSION CON-
SIDEREDHIN WAR TIMES
Shortly after the performance of Pa-
tience by the Glee Club, the following no-
tice appeared in a daily paper entitled,
“The Vegetable Fassion”. Bunthorne’s
satire is turned to a use probably not
intended by the author.
“The main advance of the pacifist forces
upon Washington is thus announced in a
headline: ‘1000 Pacifists Bearing Tulips
Go Crusading’ The tulip is ‘The Hague’s
white flower of peace’. An inspiring sight,
surely, at a time of national crisis. The
mind instantly reverts to Bunthorne’s
creed:
Then a sentimental passion of a vegetable
fashion should excite your languid
spleen.
An affection A la Plato for a bashful young
potato or a not-too-French French
bean! :
Though the Philistines may jostle, you
will rank as an apostle in the high
gesthetic band.
If you walk down Piccadilly with a poppy
or a lily in your medieval hand.
And every one will say
As you walk your flowery way,
‘If he’s content with a vegetable love
which would certainly not suit me,
Why, what a most particular pure young
man this pure young man must be’!
Tulips and twaddle! Heaven send us
men”!

MME. BIELER TRACES GROWTH OF Tv
_ FRENCH SPIRIT uP TO TO-DAY
That of a Woman.
To “a fair, intelligent, captivating
woman” who has at last found herself,
Madame Charles Biéler likened France
when she spoke last Friday evening in
Taylor .on “The Soul of France”. From
the dawn of history down to the present
war, Madame Biéler traced the develop-
ment of the nation’s human qualities.
“In the old forests of Gaul”, she said,
“Baby France was born”. In a little while
her life became better organized and she
moved into a feudal chateau. Presently,
realizing the rudeness of her life she
turned her chateau into a dwelling of the
Renaissance. Starving her people to in-
crease her allowance she followed the ad-
vice of her ministers, “une foi, une loi, un
roi”,
August, 1914, Brings Salvation
“In 1870”, continued Madame Biéler,
“France, a practical, scheming woman,
was shaken to the depths by the declara-
tion of the Franco-Prussian war. Pa-
triotism became a mere superstition, sci-
ence shook men’s faith in religion. From
this nightmare France awoke at the be-
ginning of the twentieth century and for
a few years enjoyed renewed health and
vigour until on the second of August,
1914, the war cloud once more overshad-
owed her. Then, confident, strong, united,
her sons shouldered arms and marched
to the front, while their nation, tem-
pered by years of trial, suffers and waits
in patience, assured that success will
come, And thus, we hope, France is sav-
ing her soul”,
Madame Biéler, who has four of her
own sons and two adopted boys now fight-
ing for France, then told of the work her
sister has done, first in reuniting refugee
families separated in the flight to Paris,
and now in the care of the wounded
“poilus”’.
