NEW YORK DAY BY DAY
(By J. M. Allison, Special Corre
spondent of The Times.)
NEW YORK, November 18.—It’s a
queer fad that a wine buyer of the
white light district has deevloped. He
has practiced it now. until it is well
known. It is, in fact, his chief occu
pation. He spends his nights trying
to get an orchestra drunk in one of
the dancing places. It is not unusu
al, in some of the smaller places, for
visitors to tender their compliments
to the musicians in liquid form. Pro
prietors encourage it because it helps
the receipts. Knowing this, the man
in question goes about in search, of
joyful opportunity. He has develop
ed a highly effective system. He tells
the leader that he is Sousa’s only ri
val, and invites him to have a glass
of wine. After the next tune the man
with the fad is fairly overcome with
j enthusiasm. He asks the whole or
chestra to have a drink with him. As
soon thereafter as possible he puts his
arm around the leader’s shoulders,
and proposes that the boys shall all
have another drink and that he and
the leader shall split a small bottle
between them. At the proper psycho
logical moment he surreptitiously
bets the drummer five dollars that he
can’t drink a whole quart by himself.
He has other devices for the accom
plishment of his fell purpose, all of
which he practices with persistence
and cunning. At last, if he has suc
ceeded in making the rag-time so rag
ged that the dancers kick, and the
leader roasts the drummer because
the proprietor has roasted the leader,
the man with the fad goes happily
away. He doesn’t care what it costs.
He just looks for a new place and
does it over again. He considers his
money well invested in harmless
pleasure.
“I came here to find my boy. The
speaker was a man nearly seventy.
He addressed the clerk at the Har
lem hospital. “He wasn’t really my
boy,” he continued. “He’s my son’s
boy. But I’m with him so much that
I just call him mine. An automobile
knocked him down, but the policeman
told me he wasn’t badly hurt. He’s
only seven. I came here to find him.
His name is Hawes—Keneth Hawes.”
The clerk talked into the telephone,
calling one and then another depart
ment of the institution. He lowered
his voice so that the old man outside
the desk, straining his ears as he
might, was unable to hear. “You must
wait a few minutes,” said the clerk
finally.
The old man looked uncertainly
here and there and then sat down on
a bench. A doctor entered. “Who is
inquiring about the Hawes boy?” he
asked.
“It’s me, sir,” said the old man.
“He’s my grandson. We are always j
together. Only, tonight, he ran out j
alone and when I went to find him on
the street the policeman told me that
he had been knocked down by an auto
mobile. So, I came to find him, here.
The policeman said he wasn’t badly
hurt.”
“I’m sorry,” said the doctor. “He
was badly hurt. Very badly hurt.”
The old man rose to his feet. He
spoke uncertainly. “He’s not—” he
said, “He’s not—”
“He died,” said the doctor,- “before
the ambulance reached the hospital.”
“He died,” said the old man, “he
died.” He repeated the words as if
to repeat them would enable him to
realize what they meant. “He was
seven and he died; and it could have
been me.” Then the old man fell
back upon the bench. The doctor
sprang to his assistance. An expres
sion of wonder—rather, perhaps of
awe—came upon his face as he felt
the old man’s pulse and listened to his
leart. Then the doctor turned to the
:lerk.
“What’s the matter with him?” the
clerk asked.
“Nothing is the matter with him,
now,” replied the doctor. “He’s gone
to find the boy—some place else." >
And so were recorded the deaths of
Kenneth Hawes, aged seven, and his
playmate, Andrew Hawes, aged 67.
“I am satisfied of one thing in the
American view of the war in Europe,”
said former Governor James E.
Campbell, a couple of days after his
return from England, “and that is
that the people of this country do not
have even a faint realization of the
depth and bitterness and tenacity of
the British determination to carry the
war to the 'extreme aiyl utter end.
The Germans, by undertakings of no
military moment, such as the Zeppe
lin raids, which kill helpless and in
offensive women and children, and by 1
the severity of their military admin- j
istration, evidenced in the execution j
of Miss Cavell and in similar cases, j
have simply written a guarantee of !
the downfall of the German empire, j
provided, of course, England and her
| allies are capable of accomplishing it.
i The nations now allied with England
; will follow her policies in the matter
, of the prosecution of the war, and will
! do so more implicitly as England
takes more and more of the burden
of the struggle on her shoulders. No
thing will satisfy the English people
but the expiration of the Hohenzol
lerns and of the Prussian military
system. The kaiser must meet the
fate of Napoleon, if England is not
decisively defeated. At the outset of
the war there was much slackness
among the lower classes of England,
especially in London. Now, the most
I ignorant and lazy class of the em
pire, the London city cockneys, are as
determined and as ready with their
personal sacrifice as were the aristo
crats, who had a'ways fought Brit
ain’s wars, when the strife began,
j You may be very certain that neither
j you nor your children will live to see
j the day when Germany will occupy
j the place among nations that she did
when this war began.”

WILL EXPERIMENT
IN REVIVAL OF OLD
AMERICAN PLAYS j
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—To find out
i whether there is a native American
tradition in drama from which plays
of genuine American fibre may be
w'ritten the Drama League of America,
in December, is to gove a revival of
some of the old time thrillers. The pro
gram includes parts from “Uncle j
Tom’s Cabin,” “Davy Crockett,”
“Shores Acres,” “The Contrast," “The
Girl With the Green Eyes,” and “An
dre.” When Edgar Allen Poe was
dramatic critic of the Broadway Jour
nal he saw “Andre" forty times and
even then had not entirely made up
his mind that it was a genuinely good
play.
Only portions of the plays will be
produced, the best from each, and in
such order that in an afternoon’s sit
ting a spectator will see the progress
of American drama from its pre-Civil
war stage of development to that
reached just before the present.
