FORMIDABLE    CULTURE    OBSTACLE
TO BRYN MAWR WRITERS
English    Club    Heart    Address    by    Mr.
Francis Hackett
LITTLE  KNOWN ARTIST  STIRS
ENTHUSIASTIC  AUDIENCE
DECIDING   MATCH   TOMORROW
NIGHT
Francis Hackett. author and editor of
the New Republic, addressed the English
Club on Friday night. You must get back
to life, present day American life, if you
would write for publication was the pur-
port of his advice.
"I don't know anything about 'Writing
for Publication", he said, "The only Eng-
lish I know is the English 1 write myself
and the magazine I write for has to print
It". Nevertheless, a hundred people pres-
ent, the English Club and its guests were
charmed by the simple, direct speech
which struck at the vulnerable spots In
American literature and Bryn Mawr
standards and gave helpful advice to
those who would work along this line.
"I have formed an impression of Bryn
Mawr as the most formidable culture I
have known. There is such a tremend-
ously high standard and strong censor-
, ship that many Bryn Mawr graduates
have lost their spontaneity. There is
only one that I have known who has had
the courage of experience. Miss Edith
Wyatt.
"You must have a strong sense of what
is in season. The editor is not a path-
finder, he is the stupidest man living and
he has to print what the public is familiar
with. If you really have something to
say the result will probably be so eubistic,
so like the table manners of an eskimo.
that you cannot expect readers for it.
There may be a long period after you
have the Impulse to write when you have
nothing to say but you must write and
write".
"Sex still has something to do with
writing", he added. "A Miss H. G. Wells
would be so enormously disreputable that
ishe could not write".

(Continued on  Page })
With consummate art in the  manage-
ment of a beautiful voice. Reinhold War
i lich interpreted a diverse and interesting
1 program of Old Folks Song* and Eliza-
bethian Lyrics.
"Can't you see why Krelsler plays for
ihim"? was one comment which expressed
the   general   feeling.     1920   took   in   $13
jfor the Endowment Fund.    Mr.  Warlich
starts west on a tour with Fritz Krelsler
i very soon.
Absolute ease and faultless enunciation
characterize Mr. Warlich's singing. He
, was called to repeat seven of his num-
bers. The last encore was a Russian
Lullaby sung- by a mother "on the steppes
of Russia" to her son whose father has
gone away to the war. Mr. Warlich
played his own accompaniment for this
one.
Explains  Russian Selections
Explaining the idea of the Russian and
two of  the  German  songs.   Mr.   Warlich
| read translations which be had  made of
: them.    The "Red   Sarafan"  is the  head-
; dress of the peasant bride and In the song
a mother pleads with her daughter not to
i marry and leave her soon.  In "Siberian
| convicts"    where    their    "hearts    are
j heavier than their tread" the very rattle
'of the chains could be heard.   The super-
'natural voices which came in three of the
most   interesting  selections showed   that
Mr.   Warlich   is as  much  an  actor  as a
singer.     In   "Trepak"   Death   entices   a
Russian drunken peasant (Russian peas-
ants are always drunk, said Mr. Warlich)
to dance a fatal dance with  him.    The
"Erlkonig" was magnificently done;   and
"Tom   der   Reimer",   Mr.   Warlich.   filled
with the eerie charm of the Elfenkonlgln.
Mr. Warlich was accompanied by  Elmer
Zoller._______________
MR.  HACKETT  ON THE   IRISH   CRISIS
With the Sophomore victory over the
Seniors 3-1 last Monday afternoon the ri
valry between the final contestants for
the water-polo championship reached its
highest pitch. The deciding match comes
to-morrow night at 9.10, when 1918's ban-
ner will fall and red or green go up.
A. Thorndlke '19 again starred at goal
and D. Hall '19 played a fast aggressive
0BM at halfback.   The efforts of M. Wil-
Hard '17 and M. Scattergood "17 to cripple
| D. Hall were unsuccessful and, eluding
them both, she swam to the side, making
long passes up the pool. On one of these
passes E. Lanier shot the first goal for
1919. A previous goal by M. Scattergood
'17 left the tie scored at the end of the
first half.
1919 clearly outplayed 1917 in the sec-
ond half. The Seniors constantly took
the ball under water while E. Lanier 19
and F. Howell '19 seized every chance to
shoot, scoring a goal apiece from difficult
angles.   In the sharp water duels between
| M. Scattergood '17 and D. Hall '19 the
Sophomore came out on top. A Thorn-
dike, ably supported by her guards, was
: impregnable.     The   Seniors   felt   the ab-
sence of C. Hall '17 at left fullback.
The line-up:
l�17                                                            1MB

of indoor gymnastic training.    Miss  Bal-
lintine,  who is physical director of Vas-;

On being interviewed for his opinion on
the Irish question and the present crisis.
Francis Hackett, editor of the New Re-
public, who lectured to the Knglish Club
last Friday, contributed th*> following
statement to the News:
"The cause of the Irish crisis is this:
the brutal executions last May have in-
fJmmed national feeling in Ireland and
forced John Redmond to demand n re-
demption of English promises now.
"Lloyd George and his government ad-
mit the nationalist issue, but they give
imperial need a priority. They say it is
the 'duty' of the Irish to suspend their
national animation during this war. They
add that war or no war, I'lster cannot be
coerced.
"i SosJTOtd? Nationalist Ireland does not
admit that Home Rule is a case of coer-
cion. Redmond conceded the exclusion
of certain unwilling I'lster counties last
summer, but refuses to accept the conve-
nient dilatory principle that the I'lster
tail should always wag the Irish dog".
Students at the I'niverslty of Geneva
are frequently exiles from their country
and destitute both of food and clothing.
The foyer under the World's Student
Christian Federation, partly supported by
the Bryn Mawr Christian Association,
gives such students employment in mov
ing furniture, polishing floors, and waiting
In Its 20c. restaurant. Free lodgings can
sometimes be found them and a small
sum often helps them to a means of self-
support. The foyer also enables poor
medical students to buy the expensive
bOOkl iliey need for their studies. Money
lent in this way Is paid bark s<Ttipiilously
