FLYER UPSETS
TRADITIONS Of
STAID ACADEMY
Sayants TrembIe at Demand for
Admission of Aviator, Play
wright and Woman,
la cabIe Id The Amerlean.

Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Nov. S.-The French
Academy is living in fear and trem-
bling. Founded by Richelieu, pro-
-ected by Louis XIV, it is necessarily
a most conservative body and 1eal-
GUS of its privileges.
Now a fourfold innovation threat
ems it. First of all, an airman seeks
membership. Brinjoin des Moulinais
IS distinguished aviator, and he
foes not see why he should not be a
member of the Academy. The stat
ltes state the Academy is open to
all men of France who have achieved
great distinction in any walk of life.
But they have never been interpreted
i'm this liberal sense BalzaC, Frances
greatest novelist, was refused admit
lance.
The second innovation comes from
Jean Richepin, the distinguished
lramatist At the annual meeting of
all the academicians Richepin dis
cOursed on the word tango" Bellies
lettres, science, economy, history and
arts all were represented. 1t was
under the first head that Richepin
treated tango. He traced it's ancient
origin and showed how it is the pa
rent of fantastic movement. He and
Madame Richepin have written a play
called Tango" which will soon be
brought out at the Marigny Theater.
Woman Seeks Admission,
Another attempted Academy inno-
yation is that of the election of a
woman, a very distinguished woman
and a poet, the Countess Matthew de
Noailles.
Her work is compared with that of
Alfred de MuSset and Andre de Che
nIer.
The Academicians have a twofold
objection to her The first is that she
is a woman. Secondly, the Count
ess Identifies herself with Nature and
The universe and is a Pantheist.
The fourth innovation is an ex-
pected communication from DR.. w j..
Mayo. Away out in Minnesota are
TWO surgeons, Doctors Mayo, whose
fame has spread to that most con-
sentative organization, the French
Academy AS a result, DR. w. j. Mayo
was elected a foreign member of the
French Institute or Academy of Med
icine
Other Americans Honored.
The Academicians could scarcely
believe their ears when they learned
that DR.. Mayo is the son Of q physi-
clan who settled in Minnesota when
Indians we're ar sGe warpath, and
that he had never studied in any of
the renowned centers of medical
science like Paris, Berlin or Vienna.
Besides Dr. Mayo, only two other
Americans have been elected to cor
responding membership in the French
Institute One of these was Ben1a-
min Franklin. The other was Count
Rumford. or plain Benjamin Thomp-
son, born in Rumford, Mass.

BERLIN, Nov S.-Was the presen-
tation at court in civilian clothes OF
James w. Gerard, new United States
Ambassador to Germany, the result Of
orders from America?
Does this mean that President Will
sons sartorial policy will continue to
put the burden of proof upon Am
bassadors who, in their crow-like
evening dress, have had difficulty in
avoiding being mistaken for walters
at court functions where foreign dip
lomats endeavor to surpass each other
in elegance of dress and brilliance of
decoration?
The face remains that, despite the
Kaiser's love for display, the Ameri-
can envoy and his two secretaries
were presented to the War Lord in
conventional black" The assistants
inherited handsome gold braided unit
forms from the Leishman regime, but
they will continue to remain with the
moth balls while social prophets spec
ulate If this action. which they pro-
fess to take as a sign Of mere dollar
diplomacy, will result in another mix
up, such as that marking the wind
up Of former Ambassador Leishman's
term.
Wife Proves Captivating.
While court etiquette experts puz-
zle, the new Ambassadors wife who
was the daughter Of Marcus DAILY. the
copper King, continues to captivate
members of the exclusive court circles
ana visiting Americans, and the Am
passddor sets new records for strenu-
ouslty. His leading exhibition Of ac-

PARIS, Nov. s.-Leoncavallo, the
distinguished Italian composer In an
interview with the correspondent Of

some decided opinions on the various
so-called schools Of music and their
influence.

compelled to express himself only in

is dirt AS to the methods and ep

German Dancing Masters Attempt In

SPCS'a' Sabic u I nc american.
BERLIN, Nov. S.-Yielding to the
popular craze for new dances, the
Berlin Dancing Masters Association
is making a valiant effort to intro
duce the tango to German aristo-
cratic circles
Under the stringent rules of the
imperial court all modern round
dances are rigidly forbidden. Royal
Chamberlains prescribe in detail the
dances for the court set. At Of
fetal balls at the Castle the sedate
gliding walk is interrupted only by
the dignified leisurely pirouette.
Those who try to indulge in a real
waltz are promptly called to account.
Both the Kaiser and Kaiserin are
exceedingly opposed to the introduce
ton of what they regard as the vul-
gar romping dances of the period.
AS the aristocratic set takes its cue
from court, not only the tango,
but the waltz and two step have
been under the ban.

The upshot of it all was that the
