Writing in Harper's Magazine Mrs. Humphrey Ward tells a curiously in- teresting story of. a visit In recent years with her daughter to the home of Wordsworth, What happened on that visit is. told as given and set down at the time. "I found myself. in September, 1911, the tenant of a renovated and rebuilt Rydal Mount, for a few au- tumn weeks. The souse was occupied then, and1s still occupied, by Words - worth's granddaughter and her hus- band—Mr, and Mrs, Fisher Words- worth. My eldest daughter was with me, and a strange thing happened to us. I arrived . at the Mount before my husband and daughter. She join- ed me there on September 13. 'I re- neember how eagerly I showed her the many Wordsworthiana in the house, collected by the piety of it's mistress—the Hayden portrait on the stairs, and the books :n the small,, low -celled room to the right of the hall which is still just as it was in Wordsworth's day; e garden, too, and the poet's walk. All my own, ear- ly recollections were alive; wo chat- tered long and late. And now let the account of wbat happened afterwards be given in my daughter's words as she wrote it down the following morning: " 'Rydal Mount, Sept. 14, 1911. "'Last night, my first.. at Rydal Mount, 1 slept in the corner room, over the email sitting -room. I had drawn up the blind about hajf way up the window• before going to bed, and had, drawn the curtain aside over the back of a wooden armchair that stood against the window. The window, a casement, was wide open. I. slept soundly, but wake quite sud- denly, at what hour I do not know, and found myself sitting bolt upright in bed looking .toward the window. Very bright moonlight was shining into the room and I could just see the corner of Loughrigg out in the dis- tance. My first impression was of bright moonlight, but then I became strongly conscious of the moonlight striking on something, and I saw per- fectly clearly the figure of an old man sitting in the armchair by the win-' dow. I said to myself -- "That's Wordsworth!" Ile was sitting with either hand resting on the arms of the chair, leaning back, his head rather bent and he seemed to be looking down, straight iri front of him with a rapt expression. He was not looking at Cue, nor out of the window. The moonlight lit up the top of his head and the silvery hair and I noticed that the hair was very thin. The whole expression was of something solemn and beautiful, and I was not in the very least fright. ened. As I looked. --.I cannot say, when I looked again, for I have no recollection of ceasing to look, or looking away—the figure disappear- ed, and I became aware of the empty chair. I lay back; again, and thought for a moment be a pleased and con- tented way — "That was Words- worth." And almost immediately must have fallen asleep again, I M not, to my knowledge, been dreaming about Wordsworth before I awoke; but I had been reading Butteiz'e es- say on "Wordsworth's Two Styles" out of Knight's Wordsworthains, be- fore I fell asleep. "'I should add that. I• had a dis- tinct impression of the high collar and stock, the same as in the picture on the stairs in this house.' "Neither 'the neer of this striking vision --. unique in her experiences— nor 1, to whom she told it . withi.0 eight hours, make any claim for .it to a supernatural origin. It seemed to us an interesting example of the influenceof mind and association on the visualize g power of the brain. A member of the Psychical Society, to wriom I sent the contemporary re- cord, classified it as 'a visual hale iucination,' and I don't know than there Is anything more to be said about it. But the pathetic coinci- dence remains still to be noted ---we, did not kntbW it till afterwards—that the seer of the vision was sleeping in Dorothy Wordsworth's moth, where Dorothy spent so many sad years oe death -in -life; and that In OW. very corner by the wiudoer, Wordsworth must have sat, day after day, when he came to visit what reg maiaed to him of that creature of fire and dew, that child of genius, who had been the inspiration and support of his poetic youth," Mtwltions Output Larger.

Germany has staked all she has on the possibility of a military triumph --a dee'1"sien, a win-the-wur victory over Britain, These condi, tions are at once political and Mili- tary. With the collapse of Russia. Ger- many was at last able tie reap it rich harvest as a result of liter great efe torts. Taken with her Balkan achievements, m uts, and her Anal destruc- tion, to be sure, Meanly aceomplieh ed by Trotzky and I,enine, Germany had now reached a point where she could erect new states and arrange new frontiers to the east and to the south, favorable to her future both politically and economically, Russia and the Balkans, together with Asian tie Turkey, were hers to exploit in the future, provided only she could get such a peace from her western foes as would leave her eastern ar- rangements undisturbed. By negotiation Germany cote c pot get such an arrangement, Her west- ern toes were all the more determin- ed to fight it out as they perceived the character and ultimate conse• quonce of 'Germany's eastern settle- ment. The fate of Serbia, of Rou- mania, the still surviving German de- termination to enslave Belgium and. to mutilate France still further,-- these were considerations which con- tinued to weigh in the minds of the Western Allies who began the cam- paigning season of 1918 with as firth a resolution -to go forward to victory as they led' when they began the year 1915.' In this situation, the German lead- ers felt the sheer pressure of time. The German people were becoming so weary of the strain of war that the prospect of a new campaign of great length might produce a grave weak- ening of morale. It was likewise im- possible for the Germans to await at- tack, because the delay would give the Allies fresh American aid and it would i the d d sparse t o temporary enthus- iasm and confidence of the German ment, people, evoked by the eastern settle - Thanks to this settlement, and to the improved German prospects due to Russia's collapse, the German peo- ple believed that they could still win the war and make France apd Britain pay the costs. They were willing to listen to military chiefs who told them that a short, tremendous effort would end the struggle and put the western enemies out as Russia had been put out. But they were no longer so con- fident as to insure their continued consent to a protracted struggle and another blood bath like Verdun, but even more costly in life. The German High •Comtaand, ac- •eordingly, determined 'tipon one tre- mendous 'effort; a concentration of every'man and gun available upon the western front; a super -Napo- leonic campaign for a super -Napo- leonic victory. From Russia all the best troops were brought west. From Russia and from Austria vast masses of artillery were transported. AlI the captures of guns and material from Russia. Roumania and Italy, together with the best •of Austrian artillery, were brought ever the western -front. • As between the British and • the French, the Germane decided to at- tack the British because they reason- ed that a defeat of the French might put France out of the war without disposing of Britain; while a total defeat of Britain would inevitably compel France to make peace. They' argued-, also, that it would be easier to defeat the British than the French, because the British were a newly con- structed .army, while the. French was a professional army officered by men who had Tna.de the problems of wax' the study of a lifetime, With the Verdun experience inemind the Ger- man elected to assail the British, How far his bitterness for the Eng- lish influenced his decision one may not say. But in the main the deals siou grew out of the fact that Bre. tain had become the principal enemy, , the one great abstacle to . German success, the corner -stone of the alli- ance against the Central Powers. —Frank H. Simonds, in Review of Reviews. tier stateir carriage. The play was over.
