KRIDAY, DECEMBEB 24. 1915.
Should a break witb Austria and Germany come. It wlll give the American people a tremendous ob¬ ject lesson. It would teach even the most susceptible of the super-senti¬ mentalists of the peace-at-any-price school the necessity for being pre¬ pared at all times to uphold the dig¬ nity and the rights of the United States.
We heartily congratulate Con¬ gressman Hicks upon I'eceiving the favorable decision of the Court of Appeals and a certtlficate of election. The first has been a hard one; he has fought valiantly not only for him¬ self but for his party.
We are in receipt of the season's greetings from Congressman Fred¬ erick C. Hicks. We thank him sin¬ cerely for this expression of good cheer.
Secretary Lansing's note to Aus¬ tria is more than an ultimatum. It Is also an indictment, and addressed mind you to the proudest court In Europe.
Never In the memory of the politi¬ cal leaders have there been so many candidates for the Presidential nom¬ ination as have already appeared.
Every citizen of the United States will rejoice that Secretary of State Lansing is a firm believer in the dig¬ nity of this Republic.
It is for Berlin and Vienna to de¬ cide whether friendly relations with the United States are worth preserv¬ ing.
Williiini .1. Uryan is declared to
be .simple "obsessed" and Theodore Roosevelt "the giant in Mother Goose."

Literary News Notes
Mr. Kiplinsr on France. "Broke to every known mischance,
lifted over all By tbe light sane joy of life, the
buckler of the Qaul. Furious in luxury, merciless in toil. Terrible with strength that draws
from h«r tireleaa aoll.
So runa the refrain to "Ftance," the poem written by Rudyard Kip¬ ling on the occasion of Preeldent Polncare's visit to England In 1913 and now Just published in book form in Mr. Kipling's little book of war sketches entitled "France at' War: On the Frontier of Civilization." The prophetic verse could not have been more appropriate written especially for this volume of personal observa¬ tions on the French front which seeks to impress on the En^^lish mind the sacrifices of the French and their nobility In the war—tlie spirit of F'rance re-surgent.
•A Woman's Way." Doubleday, Page & Co. announce that they have just published "A Woman's Way," by Thomas Buchan¬ an, as the latest addition to their "Drama League Series of Plays," with an introduction by Walter Prichard Eaton. In explaining the signifi¬ cance Mr. Eaton says:
" 'A Woman's Way' belongs to a
i (lass of comedy curiously rare on our
I native stage In recent seasons, the
fomedy of smart people, with the
llavor of character study to give it
dignity."
Walker on Fairies.
So great was the interest in the work of Dugald Stewart Walker, the illustrator whose fanciful drawings in full color and in black and white adorn the Doubleday, Page & Co. illustrated edition of Andersen's Fairy Tales, at an exhibition of his work recently held in Buffalo, that he was Invited to ."JO there and give nne of his well-known fairy tale talks In which he interprets the fairy lore with which his pictures are fliled.
It is not generally realized that William Winter, who is not only "the dean of American dramatic critics," as he is so often called, hut also one of the moet solid of our poets and es¬ sayists, was a contemporary of the giants of the Qolden Age of American literature — Longfellow, Whittier, Holmes, Lowell and their peers. Win¬ ter was born in 18.'i6; Longfellow In 1807; Holmes In 1809; Lowell in 1819. All of these men, and their peers, Mr. Winter knew Intimately— yet he is still among us, a hearty and happy man, living on Staten Isl¬ and, In Greater New York, and writ¬ ing steadily. His latest book, "Va¬ grant Memories" appeared this fall.
Norman Angel, author of "The World's Highway, " "The Great Illu¬ sion," etc., is a thoroughly trained newspaperman. He began his work as a youngster in this country, with reporting, and when he returned to Europe It^ wa.s as correspondent for various ^American newspapers. He has since been one of the most trusted men on the various staffs of Lord Northcliffe, the Napoleon of journal¬ ism. He has been editor of the Daily Messenger, Paris; on the staff of Eclair, Paris; general director of the Paris edition bf the Daily Mall.

THE GIRL AT "INFORMATION,"
ARE YOU "FAIR" TO HER?
She's a clever girl and she would like to answer every question asked her. She Is not a weather prophet, however; ahe is not a newspaper; she is just a well trained, efflcient, special telephone operator whose work Is to supply telephone numbers to sub¬ scribers.
Unnecessary and Irrelevant ques¬ tions prevent her doing to the best advantage her part in furnishing good telephone service generally. Such questions slow down the service of those who ask them and delay others who really need her help to locate telephone number which can be found in no other way.
You can help "Information" to be of even greater service to telephone users. If you will not ask her for num¬ bers that you can flnd in the tele¬ piione directory.

CONNOMICATIONS
Editor The Naasau Post,
Freeport, N. Y. Dear Sir:
My attention hae been called to an article that recently appeared in the columns of the Brooklyn Eagle com¬ menting upon the present status of the Brown-Hlcks controversy and charging In terms "that tbe responsi¬ bility for throwing It into the House before the highest court of the State has opportunity to pass on the matter rests upon Mr. Hicks." And all this because upon the denial of the motion made by counsel for Mr. Brown in the court of appeals for a further stay, Mr. Hicks asked the boards of canvass in Suffolk and Nassau counties to con¬ vene and comply with the orders of Justice Jaycox as modifled by the Ap¬ pellate division, orders which the various boards could only ignore at their peril, it may be that this step wlil result In the issuance of a certifi¬ cate of election to Mr. Hicks. But will the author or authors of the Eagle statement for a iDpment ques¬ tion that Mr. Hicks wa» absolutely within his rights in having Justice Jaycox's orders executed?
Furthermore, it wlll be recalled that In the earlier stages of this con¬ troversy, Mr. Brown obtained certain orders directing the inspectors of election in the various election dis¬ tricts to reconvene and open the bal- lat boxes, and remove certain ballots and mark them in conformity with the provisions of the election law. After the inspectors had proceeded under these orders for a time and had removed and marked a large number of ballots, Mr. Hicks appealed to the appellate division from these orders, and applied to Justice Jaycox for a stay pending the appeal. This appli¬ cation was vigorously opposed by counsel for Mr. Brown. Why? If Mr. Brown ie only solicitous to have the Judgment of the highest court upon the questions Involved, what harm could a stay have done? Does anyone for a moment doubt what Mr. Brown, through his counsel would have done had Justice Jaycox denied our application for a stay? Will Mr. Brown's counsel now say that If Jus¬ tice Jaycox had denied our applica¬ tion, he would not immediately have done what Mr. Hicks did upon the de¬ nial of Mr. Brown's motion in the Court of Appeals? Would Mr. Brown have quietly waited until "the high¬ est court of the state had opportunity to pass on the matter?" Will the author or the authors of the state¬ ment in the Eagle assure the people that Mr. Brown wouid have so waited?
Again, when the Appellate Division affirmed Justice Jaycox's order, Mr. Brown's counsel, urging every argu¬ ment that mind singularly fertile in that regard could devise fought our application for a stay pending our ap¬ peal to the Court of Appeals. We heard nothing then about giving the highest court in the state an oppor¬ tunity to pass upon the questions in¬ volved. If they were so desirous of such determination, why oppose our application? What harm could a stay do? No. If our application had been denied everyone knows that the way would have been clear for the enforce¬ ment of Justice Jaycox's orders and that within twenty-four hours the Boards of Canvass would have been called together now, only with a pos¬ sible consequence of the issue of a cer¬ tificate of election to Mr. Brown, and forcing Mr. Hicks to transfer the con¬ test to the House. Will counsel for Mr. Brown now say that they would not have pursued that course? And if that course would have been 'justi¬ fiable and commendable on the part of Mr. Brown, why is It open to cri¬ ticism now when pursued by Mr. Hicks?
At the risk of a somewhat prolix statement I deem it my duty to remind the people of another matter. There are interests involved in this contro¬ versy other than those which are purely personal to Mr. Hicks or Mr. Brown. The people of the First Con¬ gressional District have a right su¬ perior to that of either of these gen¬ tlemen, the right to present and con¬ tinuous representation in the Con¬ gress now sitting. For more than a year Mr. Hicks has upon the face of tbe returns been entitled to that seat. Why is he not there? Why is there
a vacancy from this district? Is it because of anything Mr. Hicks has done? He did not begin this contest. From beginning to end he has been on the defensive, forced there and kept there by counsel singularly alert and able. Meanwhile the people of this district have been denied their equal voice and vote in the House. If either Mr. Hicks or Mr. Brown can put an end to that condition and give to this district the representation which is its lawful right, he is en¬ titled to pnbllc consideration and es¬ teem for so doing.
Very truly yours, JOSEPH M. BELFORD, Attorney for Frederick C. Hicks.
