SERIOUS THEMES IN

With Feminine Jealousy,

Extravaganza.

Is It ineradicable from the feminine ma

stein, the distinguished French dramatist.
whose play THE Secret" will open at
the Broad Street Theatre Monday, with
Frances Starr in the leading role.
In THE Secret" NJ. Bernstein dra-
matioally expresses his none too hatter-
ing opinion of the fair sex. And in the
character OF Madame Gabrielle Jannelot
he portrays q Notwithstanding loving
and loved-swayed and distorted by the
sinister green passion. Jealousy" NJ
Bernstein has said, 'is an integral ele-
rnent OF the feminine nature. Sooner or
later It will master a woman. Madame
Jannelot. OF my play, is jealous even of
peoples happIness-when she is not the
cause OF their happiness. She cannot
even endure seeing her husband made
happy by his sister, and. pretending to
be the sisters champion. for years
schemes to bring about an alienation.
Yes, believe she represents phase of
the character OF every woman"
Whether one agrees with NJ Bernstein
or not. he has written a compelling play,
and one In which Frances Starr, during
the long run in New York, showed her
superemInent abilities as an emotional
actress. The production OF a Belasco play
is always an event OF Importance, and,
having seen the play in New York. We
can conseientiously recommend 1t.
In Today" by George Broadhurst and
Abraham Schooner, there is presented the
problem of feminine extravaganza. The
play deals with wife's desire for gaudy
clothes and social position. Here is
indeed problem not unfamiliar In life.

Cotton Still King.

1t begins TO look as if the national apprehension
concerning the satisfactory disposition of the cotton
crop has been needless. Great Britain has made it
manifest that she does intend to retire from the
textile industry unless conditions become more in
volved than they now. She also has announced
her intention to exempt cotton from the list of
articles which she regards as contraband of war
Further than that if report is to be credited, she
has intmated semioficially that cotton carried in
neutral ships will not be molested by British COM
merce desroyers even though these cotton carriers
be headed straight for German and Austrian ports.
There is no doubt that it is a hardship for Ger
many to be deprived of American Gotten Her need
of that practically compelling staple is as urgent now
as ever, even more so. The manufacture of cotton
products is industry which does not depend SOLELY
or even chiefly, upon adult male labor. Even in
peaceful times it is carried on largely by women and
children Although the adult male population of the
German Empire is now in the field, the spndles and
looms of the Fatherand may still be kept in profitable
activity provided the essential raw material can be
obtained
At the outbreal, of hostities, the expectation of
cotton from America to Germany and Austria came
to sudden stop and IT has not been resumed There
seems to have been impression both in this coun-
try and in Germany that cotton and wool were on the
coutraband list Instead of this being prescribed they
are the very first articles to be specified by the Lon
don declaration as free from seizure on the high
1t is only recently that American cotton brokers
have come to the knowledge that Sir Edward Grey
has disclained any intention on the part of Great
Britain to interfere with cotton cargoes from
America to Continental ports This assurance has
revived interest in the business
So as it has turned out it is not only possible to
find ready market for American cotton in Ger
many and Austria, but it may be sent to those coun-
tries without any special risk 1t has also been dis

seattle. MedIntIng Plan.

We find ourselves deeply interested in
an undertaking just started in Seattle
designed to add moral force to President
Wilson's offer Of media lion between the
warning nations. The plan Is well worth
the attention Of multitudes OF persons
in all parts Of this country now grieving
over conditions abroad, yet unable to see
any immediate solution OF the problem.
This Seattle movement started with a
meeting OF forty representative citizens,
each OF whom was born in one or an
other of the Juntries now engaged in
warfare. An executive committee was
created consisting Of a Belgian. a Ger
man, a Frenchman. a japanese. a Servian
and a Britisher. II l. turn convened ten
or more representative members Of each
OF the various nationalities for further
consultation in the hope that some way
would be found to express effectively the
united desire of all these American citi-
zens Of foreign origin that war should
speedily be brought to an end.
So far as We know Seattle has the
distinction of being the first city thus
to try to unity its citizens Of foreign ex-
traction at time when naturally they
would be at swords points with one
another. Just to get them together at
4 common luncheon table is an achieve
ment in itself Undoubtedly the outcome
would be a better understanding of one
another's attitude and the fostering Of
common sympathies, notwithstanding
loyalties which each might own TO the
country from which he came. The method
strikes at the heart Of racial prejudices
and antipathies that are to be found in
almost every community in this land. 1t
is the Christian method OF closer personal
ecr raintance with those with whom one
might be supposed-because of his an
cestry-to differ. II Is the method OF
frank and friendly debate. In short, it
is mediation itself on a small scale, the
influence Of which cannot easily be over
estimated. Let us have just at this
juncture of the worlds a airs similar
expressions Of brotherliness and high pUr-
pose in many cities and towns the coun-
try over.-The Congregationalist.

THE WAsHNGToN HERALD. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1914


covered that il Is still possible for American con-
sumers to import many articles used largely IN this
country, but supplied almost entirely by Germany.
The consternztion Of American importers over the
sudden deprivation Of dye stnfs and certain chemi-
Gals used largely Ia our manufactures seems to have
been purely gratitous The only difficulty in keep
ing up the supply arose from the temporary dispo-
siton Of those who controlled these coveted supplies
to be disagreeable. That was but momen.ary
crouch, however, and it has passed into forgetfu-
ness There need be no dearth Of any Of these
valuable articles if vessels flying the American flag
can be found in which to transport them.
According to recent communication to the State
Department from Ambassador Gerard. both Germany
and Austria now ready and anxious to resume
their customary importation of American cotton, 1t
is stated by these who are promoting the matter that
a market for 5000 bales month is awaiting Amen-
can shippers in those countries II such deal can
be accomplishment there seems to be no good
reason why it cannot-it will bring very material
relief to the cotton interests in this country Before
the war. Germany was second to Great Britain as a
cotton customer The latter has already signifed
her intention to supply of raw material from
the usual source
So at this stage of the business, it does not appear
that the cotton growers of the United States are
likely to suffer any serious hardship from the collapse
of the various efforts put forth in their behalf in the
late Congress.

How Col. Roosevelt Befriend-
ed a Presidents Son.

A few days after the Fourteenth Regi-
ment Of New York Volunteers for the
war with Spain went into camp on Long
Island. the colonel who was Frederick
ID. Grant, spent an afternoon in New
York City and after he had finished the
business which brought him to town
he dropped In at q place where he was
accustomed when in private life occa-
sionally 70 meet his friends and entered
into conversation with two or three
whom he met there. Col. Grant was
( in uniform and seemed TO be in excellent
spirits.
I ventured to say TO him that the war
with Spain had offered TO him an op-
portunity for which for some years he
had been yainly seeking.

I often found myself wondering why

HELP AND HOPE FOR LEPERs.
What an English Woman Has Ae-
compIIshed in Japan.

One Of the most interesting persons
among the weeks visitors to the Capital
is Miss H. RiddeIl. of Kumamoto, South
Japan. founder of the first scientific
medical work for lepers in the empire
and for twenty years head Of the Hos
pitaI OF the Resurrection Of Hope.
A daughter of a British military officer
who had seen service in India, in her
youth she cherished the desire to do mis-
sion work in that country, but instead
she was sent to Japan. a rather curious
coincidence of her coming was her special
request that she be not sent to kuma-
motto, where the year before there had
been a devastating earthquake. On her
arrival there she was requested by Blshop
Bickersteth to take up work in that very
locality It was while paying a visit to
a temple in the vicinity that she first
became impressed with the great need
for work among the Outcast lepers. In
speaking of her experience she said re-
Gently:
When / came to Japan 1 was not
aware that Japan had any lepers, but
one day l went to a temple to which
lspers go by the thousand for prayers
in hopes Of miraculous cures. At this
temple there is buried a military gov
ernor Of the city, who died over 800
years ago and who, it Is claimed, was
cured of leprosy through the oft-repeated
prayers of the priests The day 1 visited
the temple was a festival and the poor
victims of this disease thronged the place
"A sight TO touch the hardest heart
Above the clatter Of geta and crutch and
the shifting shifting of crippled bodies
We could hear the murmured prayer OF
the priests: ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Hail to thee, Lotus
Naturally / began to make inquiry as
20 what was being done for these poor
sufferers, and learned that nothing was
done for them, that they were supposed
not to be absolutely human-to be with
out souls; so that in addition to their
frightful physical sufferings they were in
the abyss Of despair.
As soon as possible made arrange
ments to open a cottage IN the country
to which any leper who applied could be
admitted regardless Of race. creed. or
class. Out OF this has grown the Hospital
OF the Resurrection Of Hope. which now
shelters sixty-nine in-patients and treats
all out-patients who apply for medical
aid"
From the beginning the hospital has
been supported by the generous subscrip-
tions Of Miss Riddelrs friends in Great
Britain, Canada, and the CRited States.
Since her work was established, the Jap
| anese government has established five
governmental asylums patterned on the
| same working plan, in order to clear city
streets and public highways Of leper
vagrants. No one, however, Is admitted
I who has an income Of even "A few sen
a month or who has relatives with any
/ means. This restriction naturally ex-
! cludes men and women Of education and

Where East Seems West.

Those who have crossed the line into the
southern regions OF our globe are aware
that in Chile the sun seems to rise in the
west and set in the east. In spite OF
knowing the contrary to be the fact IL
is well-nigh impossible to shake on the
strange illusion. And this because our
senses conspire to tell US the reverse. As
in north temperate latitudes the sun
never attains the zenith In its PhOebus-
driven course, We tnstinctively face the
sunward half OF the sky when we look
south and below the equator, and we are
abetted in our deception by the cold
winds which blow as at home from the
opposite quarter. To all our senses north
is south and south north. The sun rising
on our right to set upon our left seems,
therefore to travel daily backward from
west to east. in a thoroughly upsetting
way.-Percival Lowell in the Youths
