DR.. Conan Doyle writes very frankly
to the Author concerning the profits Of
Ills lecture tour In the United States;
his statements are thus summarized In
the Critic: "rhe subject Of the gains
to be made by lecturing In America Is
one. he declares. upon which there has
been great deal Of exaggeratiOn.' Any
one who goes to America with the pri.
mary Idea Of making money will. he
thinks. be disappointed; but II he goes
to have a good time. and incidentally
to make his expenses, he will not be
disappointed. Thackeray and Dickens
made money. and when we have an.
other Thackeray aud Dickens they
may do the same. but the British lee.
turer whose credentials are more mod.
est will find that the margin left over.
after his expenses are paid. Is proba.
bly, less sum than he could have
easily earned In his own study The
story that he averaged $500 night hc
brands as nonsense. He intimates that
he made about 1923 night. from
which the agents commission ana trav-
cling expenses had to be deducted. Al
lowing him four lectures a week. In
two months he would have made 5000.
From this. he says. the lecturer has
to subtract his double passage money.
and about month extra spent In the
Journey and preparations. If the bal.
ance will exceed what he would earn
In the same period by his pen. 1t Is
then worth his while to go to America
for money My own trip to America.
he adds, In conclusion, was one Of the
most pleasant experiences OF my life.
but II 1t had been the wish to earn
more than could have done ut home
which had attracted me thither. l
should certainly have been disappoint.
ed. This would be a merely personal
ana unimpOrtant matter. We're 1t not
that the mention OF exaggerated sums
In your pages might mislead and cause
disappointment to some of your read
ers.' One infers that the writer makes
at least $4,000 year by his pen"

Chicago Record: The condition Of the
war In Cuba Is exciting "a much In.

In Europe, aud especially In England,
Is thoroughly with Spain. aud the Eng.
l!sh papers go to the extreme of advis.
Ing Spain to patch up her difficulties

the island. Part of the British press
regards Spain's effort to subduc the
Cubans as hopeless, and advises com.
promise. because II believes the next
step after Independence would be an.
nexatlon to the United States. And.
says the London Times. annexation to
America would be regarded with little
favor by British statesmen" While
Cuban independence does not mean
annexation to the United States by any
means, 1t Is not certain that Spain can
patch up compromise with the In.
surgcnts. The Governor General Of
Cuba has tried In every way possible
to trent with the rebels ana has failed.
They have rejected every offer OF
reconciliation. They are not only ter.
ribly In earnest but are confident of
success. The rebellion Il spreading.

the rate Of $5O.OOO.OOO a year-a drain
which that country's treasury cannot

tempts to subdue the rebellion have

don Times In closing Its advice says:
Giving autonomy Ito Cuba will be a
bitter pill. but unless 1t IL swallowed
the embryo movement for annexation

present no avOwed national sentiment
for the annexation Of Cuba In this
country. The feeling that we have
territory enough Is general. ana the adj.
vocates Of territorial acquisition do not
create public opinion In the United
States. Spain may fix up her dispute
