Skerlern Seems Insane

Marcel Skerlein, who three months
ago made an attempt to escape from
the Sante prison, appeared In court
in the strait waistcoat of which we have
heard so much of late. Skerlein, who.
having appealed from a sentence of five
years imprisonment for theft, was await
ing his trial in the prison, managed to
escape from his cell into the room of a
warder ON leave. There he donned the
warder's uniform, armed himself with his
revolver, and would probably have made
good his getaway had not the owner of
the clothes Unexpectedly returned. Skier
lein was disarrned and taken back to his
cell. On his appearance In court a month
later he behaved In such an extravagant
way that his case was adjourned for an
investigation into the state of his mind.
The prison doctor having concluded that
the prisoners madness was simulated.
he was once more brought up for trial.
However, 1t was thought prudent to make
him don the straight waistcoat before
placing him in the dock. The prisoners
obvious emaciation and apparent exhaus-
tion painfully impressed the court, which
on the demand of his advocate founded
on article 80 of the code, ordered the
strait waistcoat to be removed This

in his surroundings, and made no reply to
the question put to him, was condemned

Failings of Young Men as

by PAUL yILLIERS

Paris, May 3.-(Special.) .)-Bryan's plan
for world peace appeals TO President
Poincare, who has long cherished the am
bition OF leading Europe out of the bond
age of military ensavement. 1t is to be
doubted, however, that even the interest
of popular president and the French
mans ever-present desire to second any
American project will secure for the Ne
braskan's proposals anything more than
an academic approval. War scares may
be made in Essen, but the conviction
still prevails that France Is constantly
menaced my her Teutonic neghbor. And
with the spectre of war casting his shadow
through the Rhine window there there is
no serious notion of turning swords into
ploushshares or dedicating international
diplomacy to. the service of the dove of
peace.
Bryan is very good man and a very
great man." said NJ. Poincare recently to
an American woman guest of the execu-
tive mansion Il admire him very much.
He is one of the most notable Americans
since Thomas Jefferson, whose doctrines
he has made more logical and compre-
hensible.

Enterprising Firm


Some s9,OOo00O, with the possibility OF
a very large increase in the future, is
being saved to Ireland annually by the
enterprise of famous brewery company
which, after long research, has found
the barley best suited to the soil and
climate of the island.
The Irish breweries use tremendous
amount of barley. For many years they
have been compelled to import most of il
from foreign countries. A few years age
the company in question went in search
of a seed that would reproduce the bar
ley of the required quality In ireland
and its efforts were rewarded with sue
cess. Curiously enough they found thai
barley which originally came from Eng
land and had been reproduced in Scandi-
navia was the most suitable. 1t is known
to the trade as Anglo-Danish. Seed was
obtained and distributed among the farm
ers in Ireland. The result was very
satisfactory, and now Irish farmers are
raising barley for Irish brewers.

Fountain for Peace Palace

A fountain made of porcelain and stone
ware will be donated by the Danish gov.
ernment to the new Peace Palace at The
Hague, where it will be placed in this
court of honor. The basin will be of the
rarest porcelain, and its design shows
striking treatment in which polar bears
seals and other marine animals are use6
in the decoration. 1t is the work of the
Royal Danish factory
For Danes in America the factory is
making a limited number of Panama
Pacific Exposition souvenir plates to be
sold for the benefit of the Denmark
building which the Danish Americans
will erect at San Francisco for 1915 The
number of plates will be limited, and as
some of the best Danish artists have
contributed to their designs they will
probably be of exceptional value They
are all finished with paintings of beauti-
full Danish landscapes. Much of the
porcelain work for which Denmark is
noted will be exhibited at San Francisco

Sargent In Paint lanes

John Sargent, the American painter,
who makes his home in London, is to
paint the portrait of Henry James, the
distinguished American novelist who
likewise has adopted England as his
place of residence.
1t has been announced several times
that Sargent had given up portrait paint
ing, but this commission is hardly one he
could refuse. He and Mr.. James are
friends of long standing, and the writer $
admiration for the painter dates back a
good many years. In the early eighties
Mr.. James wrote most interesting essay
for an American magazine on Sargent S
work, and the two men, American exiles
by choice, always have found much in
common.
The portrait is being painted for presen-
tation to Mr.. James by his English
friends in commemoration of his seven
teth birthday, which fell on April 10.

Peace Palace at Hague

| London, May 3.-Sr Arthur Nicolson.
who as permanent under secretary of for
eign affairs since 1910, has practically
managed the foreign relations OF the
British empire, reaches the retiring age
this year and may be expected to pass
out of the service to which he has de-
voted his life In England, where in lat
ter years the foreign policy does not
change materially with change of gov
ernment, the permanent staff of advisers
to the foreign secretary are largely re-
sponsible for all diplomatic negotiations,
and there are few foreign ministers who
would care to depart from the advice
given by him.
Sir Arthur entered the foreign office
as long ago as 1870 and he has served
at as widely separated posts as Berlin,
Pekin, Constantinople, Athens, Teheran,
Budapest, Bulgaria and Morocco as Sec
retary of embassy and minister, and in
Madrid and st. Petersburg as ambassa-
dor It was from the latter post that he
came back to the foreign office as it's
permanent head. Lord Hardinge, then
Sir Charles, who had been ambassador
in st. Petersburg during the Russo-Jap-
anese war and later laid the foundation
for the Anglo Russian entente, was per-
manent under secretary and he and Sir
Arthur Nicolson worked for a better un-
derstandng between the two great en-
pires that for years had been the bitter
est enemies. They had the assistance of
the French government, which desired
her ally, Russia, and her friend, England,
to settle their quarrels, which really arose
more out of a misunderstanding of each
other than any tangible differences, and
they were supported by Sir Edward Grey.
The agreements which now exist and
which prevent the former squabblings
We're the result.
The great majority of the British pub
lie are ready to applaud Sir Arthur for
this consummation, for to him fell the
lions share of the work. but there is still
a little coterie of anti-Russians who can
see no good in any of the Anglo Rus
sian agreements,i who are glad to see him
go, and who express the hope, as voiced
by one of their papers, that the Russo
phile policy which he did so much to de-
velop is coming to an end with his de-
| parture'
| ceed Sir Arthur. Among those promi-
nently mentioned is Sir Eyre Grove, who
| has been assistant under secretary for
a number of years, and in addition to
| having held diplomatic appointments
abroad, was a delegate to the second
peace conference at the Hague In 1907.
