I had nearly recovered\nfrom my wound when I returned to Washington to find I had\nbeen honorably discharged because of its severity. I defcided\nto see Lincoln about it. With fear and trembling, I sent in\nmy litle card, stating I was a wounded soldier. He at once\nadmitte'd me, leaving Generals, Senators and others waiting.\nI asked him if there was not some way X could serve my\ncountry more. \"Well, my boy, you are serving your country\nby being wounded. However, I am glad you want to serve\nyour country more.\"\nHe' was reading a letter as I entered. He looked at me over\nhis spectacles, then lifting them above his eyes on his forehead,\nhe looked at me searchingly, as if looking for my wound. Then\nhe took off his glasses and laid them on the? table. I remember\nit was a long table piled with maps and books. He arose and\nwalked slowly around to where I stood—no longer with fear,\nbut as if I had met my best friend. He put his hand on my\nshoulder. \"And you would like? to go back to the front? But\nyou are too badly wounded for that! Wait a little. Go back\nhome and get well and strong.

The states will not want to bear\nthe expense and give the Government control. 'Let us adopt the\nSwiss system, then.' Here, again is a difficulty.

It is an\ninteresting venture and I hope to give you an account of it\nsome day. Last week \"Bethlehem\" was given at Glastonbury.\nThis is a setting of the Coventry shearmen's nativity play. I\nunderstand the text was modernised and amplified in some re-\nspects, and that Zarathustra was added to the Kings, while the\nWarwickshire dialect was replaced by _ that of Somerset.\nBoughton is a most ambitious man, whose ideas on the develop-\nment of music-drama were set out some' time ago in a little\nbook called The Music-Drama of the Future. One of his ideas\nis that it is impossible to develop any art in the unreal and\ncommercial atmosphere of a great city such as London, which\nI think is true; if not self-evidently true. Boughton believes that\nas art has generally sprung out of a communal life, it becomes\nthe first necessity of the artist to secure this communal ex-\nitence to be the mother of his artwork. Hence, he hopes that by\nbuilding up in Glastonbury a communal village life he may at\nthe same time provide the matrix for a national art of music-\ndrama. But there is more than this in his plans—a great deal\nmore, and I must return to it some day.\nIn connection with music, Madame Liza Lehmann's musical\nversion of the old morality, Everyman, has just been given at\nthe Shaftesbury theatre', with Mr. Poel directing the scenic and\nlighting arrangements. It is doubtful if any music could add\nanything to the curious power of Everyman, and to destroy the\nartistic unity of the play by cuts and alterations in order to\nsuperimpose a mood of modern music on the mediaeval morality\nseems nothing less than ignorance or selfishness.\nThe French edition of the book I mentioned in my last letter,\nRomain Rolland's Au-Dessus de la Melee is receiving consider-\nable attention here at the hands of the reviewers. In a long\narticle in the New Witness, entitled The Impartial Mind, Mr.\nV. Y. Eccles writes of Rolland. \"He is a citizen of the world,\nand perhaps the last of the French romantics.

I\nwouldn't be surprised if he actually paid a visit to Greenwich\nVillage. But most likely—as all these Bohemia hunters—-in the\nevening, and then just making the rounds. From on£ \"ultra-\nBohemian\" place to another. Had he chosen the daylight, he\nnever could have written about MacDougal Alley as follows:\n\"MacDougal Alley offered us short shrift. It was fille'd with\nrubbish-barrels, Italian children, teams and evidently, tenants.\nHigh rents—for even Bohemian Washington Square has its\nelite districts—seemed not to hav£ frightened off budding or\nbudded genius. Not a studio was for rent. Bedelia sighed—if\nfrom disappointment or relief, I did not know.\"\nHe means Washington Mews, evidently—the! prolongation of\nthe Alley this aristocrat among all our streets and thorough-\nfares on the other side of Fifth avenue right through to Uni-\nversity Place. But that's how it happens. They come' down\nhere and drink refd ink and eat roast chicken, admire a few\nshort-haired women and a few long-haired men; they think it\nis a characteristic of Bohemia to be! served on yellow tables and\nto sit on blue chairs .... and they write and tell to the world\nin its \"popular\" mrgazines: What? Nothing. After you have\nread one of those stories you know just as much as before,\nand you were not eve'n entertained while you were at it. But\nthen there are some equally valuable caricatures and such a\ncombination is irresistable, and even to you, it looks like some-\nthing which it really is not.\nOr, take for instance1, that celebrated sage of The Cosmo-\npolitan, Samuel Merwin. He, too, followed the vogue of the\ntimes and wrote a Greenwich Village novelette. Of course, in\ninstallments. It is the only thing that re'ally pays. To say\nnothing in generously-measured amount of words and to con-\ntinue to say nothing in several issues will make you the man\nwhose name appears on subway advertisements. So Samuel\nMefrwin left his Forrest Hills home and took quarters in the\nJudson Hotel, on Washington Square. There he was closeted\nin his rooms with his genius and his contract for a Greenwich\nVillage novelette. And 10, behold! The Greenwich Village\nstory was born, the' Januarv installment of his \"Trufflers,\"\nwhich really should b£ called Les Toughs.\nIn his \"Remnants of Bohemia,\" the third installment of his\n\"New York of the Novelists,\" Arthur Bartlett Maurice tells\nyou in The Bookman, about as much of Greenwich Village's\ngreat past, about its landmarks which are today, and\nmight be torn down tomorrow, as is known to eVen well-in-\nformed sources and it is good to know that this interesting\nseries will appear shortly in book form.\nCaptain Hall’s Exhibit\nCaptain Hall's Exhibition of paintings, marine scenes and\nforest scenes, including portraits of Abraham Lincoln and of\nNancy Hanks, Lincoln's mother, will be continued until February"}, {"page_pdf": 15, "page_imprimee": "439", "url_page": "https://bluemountain.princeton.edu/bluemtn/?a=d&d=bmtnaaq19160205-01.1.15", "debut_caractere": 16, "fin_caractere_exclue": 2700, "texte": "15th.

Among othe'r interesting material Captain _ Hall has in\nhis possession to prove that his conception of Lincoln is the\ntrue one are photographs by Brady, the war photographer,\nwhose chemical and optical reconstruction shows the uncovered\nmole as can be seen on Captain Hall's paintings, and not\nthat familiar wart which, as he claims, was not a. wart but the\ntwitch of a very prominent muscle. The widely circulated\nstory of a death-mask taken from the president on his death-\nbed he disavows as fake, and in the1 face of the authenticity\nof this storjr claimed even by historical .and semi-historical\nbooks and magazines, he is able to produce the testimony of\nRobert Lincoln to the contrary.\nPoetry Readings\nOn Monday, the 7th, H.

This in-\nstantaneous knowledge of Lincoln rarely made a mistake.\nI came to meet Lincoln in this way. I had nearly recovered\nfrom my wound when I returned to Washington to find I had\nbeen honorably discharged because of its severity. I defcided\nto see Lincoln about it. With fear and trembling, I sent in\nmy litle card, stating I was a wounded soldier. He at once\nadmitte'd me, leaving Generals, Senators and others waiting.\nI asked him if there was not some way X could serve my\ncountry more. \"Well, my boy, you are serving your country\nby being wounded. However, I am glad you want to serve\nyour country more.\"\nHe' was reading a letter as I entered. He looked at me over\nhis spectacles, then lifting them above his eyes on his forehead,\nhe looked at me searchingly, as if looking for my wound. Then\nhe took off his glasses and laid them on the? table. I remember\nit was a long table piled with maps and books. He arose and\nwalked slowly around to where I stood—no longer with fear,\nbut as if I had met my best friend. He put his hand on my\nshoulder. \"And you would like? to go back to the front? But\nyou are too badly wounded for that! Wait a little. Go back\nhome and get well and strong. We are thinking of organizing\nan Invalid Corps to displace able men now on guard duty, and\nwhen we are ready for wounded recruits, send in your name and\nyou shall do more duty for your Country!\" He then asked me"}, {"page_pdf": 4, "page_imprimee": "428", "url_page": "https://bluemountain.princeton.edu/bluemtn/?a=d&d=bmtnaaq19160205-01.1.4", "texte": "BRUNO'S WEEKLY\n\nwhere and when I was wounded. \"Oh, yes, these bad bulls that\nran, but the\" last was not so mad-bad as the first.\" He then\nasked me about the management of the second Bull Run battle.\nI told him I felt my commander, McDowell, had been sacrificed\nby the jealousy of othe'r generals. And I had the pleasure of\nentertaining him quite a little, while the great men waited\nin the lobby. This illustrates the great good feeling of the man\nwho gathered his wisdom from the lowly multitude.\nAnd I, today, remember as if it were but yesterday, that\nbenevolent face and the great hand that encompassed mine as\nhe said, \"My dear boy, don't forget to send in your name for\nthe Invalid Corps. God bless you, good-bye!\"\nI sent in my name promptly and was promptly appointed\nSecond Lieutenant and ordered to Providence, R. 1., where I\nwas again mustered into, the United States service, and from\nthere ordered to Washington, appointed to First Lieutenant\nand placed in command of the 4th Company of this new\ncorps, doing guard duty in the vicinity of the White House.\nAnd then I saw considerable of Lincoln until promoted to\nCaptain and ordered with my company to this city to guard\ncriminals. And then and here came the saddest duty of my\nlife —to guard all that was mortal of the immortal man while\nhe lay instate at the City Hall for the weeping multitude\nto gaze upon. Little thought I when I saw his face in life that\nI should so soon be called to guard his face in death. And\nnow, at seventy-seve?n, I am devotedly trying to recall that\nsublime face, that the people may see it as I saw it then in\nlife. And I have no help but my memory, for his face has\nbeen commercialized by artist and artisan until it has become\na caricature, rather than a character. Even a death-mask has\nbeen produced to villify his gentle face in death; and one\npurporting to be a life cast leaving the* mole off! If it had\nbeen from life, Robert T. Lincoln would have never written\nme: \"As to a cast, I have none and have never wanted one, I\ndon't like them.\" And God save the* mark! our halls and our\nparks are filled with Lincolns that never were.\nThis is a gullible age!

But don't you\nbelieve it. First, it's easy to say 'Let us have a standing army\nof 500,000.' But where are we' to get that many men? The\narmy _ cannot be kept up to its present complement of men.\nAmericans won't enlist in numbers, save in hard times, and the\nrecord of annual desertions is depressing. Well then, \"Let\nus have the Government take over the militia of the states.\"\nBut the consent of the individual states must be? secured, and\nthat is not going to be easy. The states will not want to bear\nthe expense and give the Government control. 'Let us adopt the\nSwiss system, then.' Here, again is a difficulty. The Swiss\nsystem begins with training in the schools. The states support\nthe schools. They won't want to pay their money to educate\nsoldiers. Later it will take' men from their work. They will\nhave to be paid for their time. Who will pay, the states or\nthe United States? Suppose we go to conscription. The\npeople will not stand for that. The National Government cannot\nquickly do much of anything without co-operation of the states\nand that co-operation will involve' changes in the National\nConstitution. Secretary of War Garrison makes all these points\nclear, and the main point is that with regard to the military\nsystem there is no unity of authority, responsibility and control.\nSecretary Garrison plans a small regular army and a con-\ntinental army, raised 133,000 men at a time, each to serve?\nthree years, until it reaches 400,000. The continental army is\nto be \"recruited territorially,\" say 333 each year from each of\nthe 400 Congressional districts. But if the me\"n won't come?\nCompel them. It will be seen, that while the Secretary of War\nfinds it easy to knock out all other plans of preparedness, his\nown plan is up_ against the objections to those other plans.\nChiefly the individual state?s are in the way, and then the people\nare not wild for military service. Nor are they hot for centrali-\nzation. The present Constitution is an obstacle. It will take\ntime to change that and, considering the theory that there\nis no time to be lost, we cannot wait on that change?. But can\nwe proceed extra-constiitutionally ? It is not likely.

It is an\ninteresting venture and I hope to give you an account of it\nsome day. Last week \"Bethlehem\" was given at Glastonbury.\nThis is a setting of the Coventry shearmen's nativity play. I\nunderstand the text was modernised and amplified in some re-\nspects, and that Zarathustra was added to the Kings, while the\nWarwickshire dialect was replaced by _ that of Somerset.\nBoughton is a most ambitious man, whose ideas on the develop-\nment of music-drama were set out some' time ago in a little\nbook called The Music-Drama of the Future. One of his ideas\nis that it is impossible to develop any art in the unreal and\ncommercial atmosphere of a great city such as London, which\nI think is true; if not self-evidently true. Boughton believes that\nas art has generally sprung out of a communal life, it becomes\nthe first necessity of the artist to secure this communal ex-\nitence to be the mother of his artwork. Hence, he hopes that by\nbuilding up in Glastonbury a communal village life he may at\nthe same time provide the matrix for a national art of music-\ndrama. But there is more than this in his plans—a great deal\nmore, and I must return to it some day.\nIn connection with music, Madame Liza Lehmann's musical\nversion of the old morality, Everyman, has just been given at\nthe Shaftesbury theatre', with Mr. Poel directing the scenic and\nlighting arrangements. It is doubtful if any music could add\nanything to the curious power of Everyman, and to destroy the\nartistic unity of the play by cuts and alterations in order to\nsuperimpose a mood of modern music on the mediaeval morality\nseems nothing less than ignorance or selfishness.\nThe French edition of the book I mentioned in my last letter,\nRomain Rolland's Au-Dessus de la Melee is receiving consider-\nable attention here at the hands of the reviewers. In a long\narticle in the New Witness, entitled The Impartial Mind, Mr.\nV. Y. Eccles writes of Rolland. \"He is a citizen of the world,\nand perhaps the last of the French romantics.

I\nwouldn't be surprised if he actually paid a visit to Greenwich\nVillage. But most likely—as all these Bohemia hunters—-in the\nevening, and then just making the rounds. From on£ \"ultra-\nBohemian\" place to another. Had he chosen the daylight, he\nnever could have written about MacDougal Alley as follows:\n\"MacDougal Alley offered us short shrift. It was fille'd with\nrubbish-barrels, Italian children, teams and evidently, tenants.\nHigh rents—for even Bohemian Washington Square has its\nelite districts—seemed not to hav£ frightened off budding or\nbudded genius.

But that's how it happens. They come' down\nhere and drink refd ink and eat roast chicken, admire a few\nshort-haired women and a few long-haired men; they think it\nis a characteristic of Bohemia to be! served on yellow tables and\nto sit on blue chairs .... and they write and tell to the world\nin its \"popular\" mrgazines: What? Nothing. After you have\nread one of those stories you know just as much as before,\nand you were not eve'n entertained while you were at it. But\nthen there are some equally valuable caricatures and such a\ncombination is irresistable, and even to you, it looks like some-\nthing which it really is not.\nOr, take for instance1, that celebrated sage of The Cosmo-\npolitan, Samuel Merwin. He, too, followed the vogue of the\ntimes and wrote a Greenwich Village novelette. Of course, in\ninstallments. It is the only thing that re'ally pays. To say\nnothing in generously-measured amount of words and to con-\ntinue to say nothing in several issues will make you the man\nwhose name appears on subway advertisements. So Samuel\nMefrwin left his Forrest Hills home and took quarters in the\nJudson Hotel, on Washington Square. There he was closeted\nin his rooms with his genius and his contract for a Greenwich\nVillage novelette. And 10, behold!
