KXTKRTAINED BY LINCOLN Graciousness to Sarah Bernhardt Brought Her Recently to rublic Attention. Prior to the war Major Moraht was not known as a man of any particular strength In Germany.

Ho had been a Major of Infantry and had retired from acthe service. When the war opened his articles In the began to attract attention. While he was thor oughly Teutonic In his leanings he never failed to point out the strength of his enemy, nnd his Independence of thought led to break with the Tnyebfnff, the paper upon which he made I1I3 reputa tion. In this respect It was pointed out last night that Major Moraht and Col. Rep-Ington.

the British critic, had travelled the same route In that both had been forced to leave thn Journals upon which they had earned the public attention. Major Moraht's break with the Tnpe- blotf did not, however. Involve any dif ference of opinion with any or the Government authorities. He consistently declined, it Is true, to follow the teach ings of the various bureaus which Issued propaganda matter, ami based his writings purely upon the map positions, the official reports and the teachings that he had derived from Von Clauso-wltr, Bernhardt. Von Moltke and the host of other German authorities on war.

Hlei fellows considered him In the light of .1 technical military chess player, who figured his work purely according to the German rules, regardless of civilian opinion. Tt was In that he went from tne Tagrblnlt to the Mrufrfic Tagca where he continued his discussions of current military topics. He predicted in the course of a reilew of the nrst year of the war, written for tho Associated Press, thx disintegration of the Russian army. Ills worst error In the war wai his prediction of German hucce.s at Verdun, and he seemed never to understand how Petaln's men were able to check the organized German offensive. Ho ridiculed the British advance Into Mesopotamia thit resulted in the capture of Gen.

Townshend's army, and said that the disaster resulted from the fail ure of tho British to take the expedition seriously, lie correctly estimated that the remnant of the Serblnn army would not remain inactive after the German conquest, and made a like fair estimate of the allied position In the Balkans, or, more properly, in Macedonia, Major Maraht alone of the German critics frequently took occasion to comment favorably upon allied movements, and fie was sometimes taken to taak In Berlin for being ablo to find capable leadership on the other side and soldierly qualities among the opposing troops.

In fact, back In the time In mind, and It was a long stretch of time, perhaps a thousand readers would first have read the account of Maggie Mitchell's death to one who would read first of the nationally famous statesman's demise. Maggie Mitchell did die yesterday morning In a bedroom of a large apartment house owned at tho southwest corner of West Knd avenue nnd 102d street. And although tho little blond haired, gray eyed woman, whose noting and singing and dancing for almost two ecoro years was the delight of millions of American theatregoers, was born back III tho dim ages of 1S3" John Onlm-v Adams and Andrew Jackson didn't die until years after that she was still somewhere In her twenties when she died yesterday morning. Ten years beforo thei Confederates fired on Sumter Maggie Mitchell was an actress. A few days before Lincoln was hot the great President sent his own carriage to her hotel when sue was pia-In In Washington so that he and Mrs Lincoln might hhake her hand inside ine White House "and have tt dish of tea," an Mrs.

Lincoln nut it. Just befoie Grover Cleveland began his second term she waa still the viva-clous ingrfnuo back of tho footlights of Washington theatre. Hinging as merrily and flitting about the stage as lightly as In Lincoln's day. And on the day that Woodrow Wilson was last elected I'resl dent not In the 1912 election, but tho election day of 1916 she mounted her horse a1 her summer home. Cricket IXKigo.

at niberon, and went for an nil dav ride- which at otio time brought her Into the country road which parallels tho third hole of tho Spring Lake Country-Club's golf course, where the reelected present Prealdent of the United States that dav was trying to forget campaign troubles by swinging his drler. "Most rtemarkahle Woman, Not long after sho died yesterday one of tho physicians who bad attended her 11 her last brief Illness spoke of her as the most remarkable woman, mentally and physically," with whom ho ever had conic in contact. Tho last tlmo her name appeared In New York newspapers and there was a time when her name was almost dally In the papers was In an account few months ago of a gracious little act the had done. I'p around the fourscore age then, ahe had been Invited by George Tyler, the theatrical producer, to sit In a stag box at a seml-prlvate matinee per formance which Miss I-auretto Taylor gae in honor of Mme. Sarah Bernhardt.

Mr. Tyler had placed Mme. Bernhardt In the second box from the stage solely because he thought the great French actress could see the performance better from that box. and he had given the stage box to Maggie Mitchell largely because she wn the most venerable of noted Amerlc-ui actresses. But when Mme.

Bernhardt, was carried to the box placed at her disposal she objected fervently to being seated In anything but the box nearest the stage. vv hereupon Mitchell, whoso keen "young" ears had sensed the cause of the commotion In the box behind her, Jumped up Hi chipper fashion and Insisted In so lovely a man ner that tlio Dl lne Sarah take the Mage box that the French eatress was quite mollified. And the last time Maggie Mitchell's name got Into print occurred the next morning, when the newspapers told of the graciousness with which the fine old American actress had quieted the troubled waters. And up to the time of her death Manhattan was her real home, except for tho time ahe spent at Klberon In the summers and autumns. cored Many Successes.

The first theatrical success which made tjie name of Maggie Mitchell nationally famous was "Fanchon the Cricket," In which she made her first bow as a star nt New Orleans In 1fil. A year later she leased Laura Kecue's theatre In Manhattan nnd produced "Fdnclion" for the Prst tlmo here with 1 pronounced success. "Fanchon," "Lorle," 'Mlgnon."

Also Maggie Mitchell was proud of something else In connection with her walk last December and suffoted In Juries which resulted In hardening of the arteries. Mr. Delano was a New Yorker if the early days.

He was born July 12, 1835, In an old house which stood where K0 Ann street now Is, In tho rear of the place where he built up his drug business. He founded that business In partnership with th" lite Charles N. Crlttenton. founder of the Florence Crlttenton Homes scuttered ncr the country. When Mr.

But whether this will really put him back, on his feet depends on what the public does to help or hinder. In the past, the attitude of the public has been a greater handicap to the cripple than his physical disability. People have assumed him to be helpless.

Too often, they have persuaded him to become so. For the disabled soldier there has been "hero-worship;" for the civilian cripple there has been a futile kind of sympathy. Both do the cripple more harm than good. All the cripple needs is the kind of job he is fitted for, and perhaps a little training in preparation for it. There are hundreds of seriously crippled men now holding down jobs of importance.

Other cripples can do likewise, if given the chance. Idleness is the calamity too hard to be borne. Your service to the crippled man, therefore, is to find for him a good busy job, and encourage him to tackle it. Demand of the cripple that he get back in the work of the world, and you will find him only too ready to do so. For the cripple who is occupied is, in truth, no longer handicapped.

Can the crippled soldier or the industrial cripple as well count on you as a true and sensible friend?
