ITAAIGHT TALK By all odds the most effective and piercing arraignment of the Prussian savages that we have ever heard was made last Tuesday evening in the Caro lina ball room by Captain Fallon of the British army. However much one may read of the devastation of the old World, and hideous plans and operations of this junker Insane Asylum, the written story pales into insignificance in comparison with the impression received from one out of the shambles. The cap tain brought with him the appeal and the conviction burned into his mind by three years under fire. He went through the terrible disaster at .Gallipoli, and then joined the great drive on the Somme. He comes here wounded in seven places, with his left arm out of commission and the scars left by a double explosion all over him. But he is the nearest to a red-hot fighting man we have seen in this settlement. The hotel was packed to suffocation, every window sill and peeping hole was mobbed for a glimpse. Governor Brum baugh of Pennsylvania, presided and in troduced the captain, and led the ova tion that greeted the conclusion of his speech. And Prussians and their sympa thizers, pussy footers and pacifists were conspicuous by their absence. This man had seen the game. He had seen the appalling results of unspeak able brutalities practiced upon the women and children of the Marne and Yser; he had seen his own comrades de capitated and crucified; with his own eyes he had read the bloodthirsty and diabolical notices condemning the people of Belgium to slavery, degradation and death. And he spoke in a way to iron into the soul of the most flabby slacker. His platform is simple and clear enough. Jt is to smash this German devil until every bone in his body is broken, until he screams in vain for mercy, until he curses the Kaiser, and crawls back to his hole in anguish to the light of his burning arsenals and his exploding ships. That to even speak to him is a sacrilege, and to treat with him a disgrace. . It isn't war that has bred this re solve. He told how the Turks cut them all to pieces at Gallirjoli: how thev J. y trapped them in the wire under water, and decimated the battalions, and finally drove them from the hard won footing on the peninsular. . But he said that when they went they Jeft a big sign in the front line trenches evacuated, to the effect that the Turks had given them a hard and clean fight, and that they hoped to return the compliment some time. But the Prussian is not taken pris oner. Not by the Anzacs. He recognized and we recognize that no useful purpose is served in a civilized country by the germination of hatred of anything snakes or murderers or pirates or Jack the Rippers or Prussians. But it is of the utmost and final neces sity that every man should know what he is facing. Decent people did not in dulge in a soul destroying, blind hatred of the Apaches, who burned their vic tims at the stake and cut the scalps off their heads. But they harbored no de lusions about them. We do not hate Hela monsters. But we are quite pre pared to go the limit to have none loose in the house. We are under the greatest possible obligation to this Irish captain who has not stopped his battles with seven wounds. He has taught us this at least. That there is nothing to discuss with the Prussian. And that ink used to print peace discussion is not only wasted but probably poisonous. OUR PLAN OF BATTLE That was the conviction felt by every person in the room when Captain Fallon finished. But convictions are of small value unless they lead to some definite action. And even the captain hardly expected everyone in the Carolina Ball room to seize a Browning Gun and a gas mask and rush for Berlin. The crisis he is endeavoring to have us meet is more intangible and perhaps as deadly as the assault on the front line. It is the absolute shortage of food and material. It is slowly coming home to us that what is required is saving. But not pri marily a saving of money. It is a saving of food aid labor and material. The time is here when it is next to treason to use the work of any man upon a useless object; to use iron or copper or cotton or wool or any of the essential materials of industry for any purpose whatever except to live and to beat the Germans. It avails nothing to give large sums of money to the Red Cross, or even to the Government, if we use other sums to divert the last rem nants of our resources to needless pur poses. The answer is that women cannot buy jewels and be patriotic. The artizans have a more vital task than making trinkets. That the men cannot employ an army of tailors to make Norfolk jackets. We are short too many uni forms. That the person who spends any needless sum for display or fashion, whether in functions or on his back or his car or his yacht or his stationary or whatever his pet vanity is, is essentially a slacker. The corollary is that the money so saved should be put at the immediate disposal of the government. A great army of patriotic volunteers all over the country are devoting their whole time this month to selling and urging the sale of Thrift stamps and War Saving certificates. It is impossible for the subject to become stale, or less vital. It is our duty, and yours, and your cooks and your chauffeurs to preach sav ing, and to practice saving, and to buy and urge the buying of these stamps without limit or cessation from now un til the day the Black Eagle is hauled down from the Wilhelmstrasser Chicago Bridegroom What in tears, my love and on the day after our wed ding, too? What has happened? Chicago Bride Oh, dear! I fell up stairs this . morning and that's such a bad sign I Cleveland Leader. THE VILLAGE GOSSIP Dear Duchess: Looked for a while as if the disturb ance in Flanders would get all the men and that we would become a bandage factory down here. Not at all. To be sure, except for the landstrum that turns up to play golf and the old guard there were signs that the war had rounded up the gang. Everybody's sou is in the fight. And. a young golfer 13 a curiosity. But that didn't last long. The mili tary and the food fighters, the camp directors and the Export and the Import and the N'emporte Boards all found that their members had to get away from the grind once in so often or pass up the game. So they flock down here, when the surgeon major prescribes rest and change. It makes the neighborhood more interesting than ever before. This week the initiated could almost hold a grand council of war right here. Sena tors Frelinghuysen, Kellogg and Otis have arrived straight from the trials of the famous and much debated Brown ing Machine Gun. Raymond D. Fosdick, who runs those Training Camp activi ties and Gurdon Parker of New York, his left hand man, are staying at the Holly Inn, and have joined the Sand hill Councils. Mr. and Mrs. Fosdick attended the horse show Saturday with the Tufts and Henry S. Thompson of Boston, who is now in charge of the Eed Cross work at the Cantonme'nts. Later they had dinner with George Maxwell Clark. The soldiers are no exception to the grind. The woods are full of captains and field marshals off on furlough the latest to fill the ranks being Captain and Mrs. Elias Field and Captain and Mrs. Neil Loynachan from Camp Greene. Governor Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania has returned from Harrisburg and joined Mrs. Brumbaugh on the links. Governors will be plentiful here by Sat urday, when Bickett comes down from Raleigh with two admirals and three generals to get this bunch of joy riders in behind the starvation program. They are going to have a big time. Col. and Mrs. R. E. Swigert will do the honors at luncheon at the Club House, and the local soldiery and chivalry will escort the company to the exercises at the Race Course. A round of the links and the shows and the races and all the rest going on would reveal a long list of your friends, with a strong contingent from New York. Here are Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Hawkins and J. H. Ottley, staying at the Carolina; Byron P. Newton, the col lector of the Port of New York, who succeeded Malone when he went crazy over the suffragettes a guest of the James Barber's;4 Bishop J. G. Anderson of Boston, and nobody knows who all. The Joseph H. Choates left last night after a two weeks siesta, and Mr. Cole man Drayton did not get a single golfing victory out of the visit. It is sma11 wonder, for in his time Choate has won the medal in National Tournament. The Harper Sibleys in from Rochester have made a most delightful addition to f
