Earning at that time only fifty or sixty

one OF the most sarcastic OF the illus
trations shows a trio of Germans of
thousands of years ago, clad in skins
and armed with stone hatchets and
spears. One of them wears a head
piece which looks most suspiciously like
the helmet the modern German soldier
wears.
Eventually, says Hansi, scores OF
these people got across the Rhine and
fell upon Alsace with great fury. "All
the evil that has ever befallen Alsace
has come from across the Rhine" says
Hansi. He proceeds to tell how julius
Caesar marched into Alsace from Gaul
and inflicted a great defeat upon the
Germans under AriGEistus.
Under the Roman rule, SAYS Hansi,
golden days came to Alsace. The Romans
governed wisely and did not try to force
their customs upon Alsace. Their sub
jects soon assimilsted the higher civili-
EatiOn of their cODCTerors. Hansi here

force back barbarians on other borders.
The Germans across the river were not
slow in taking advantage of the change.
They crossed the river in the dead of
winter. Hansi tells of the vandals over
running Alsace and then Of Attila and
his men. Through Attila Hansi again
berates the Germans, for he de-
scribes him as being as much monkey
as man, with huge arms and eyes as
cruel and ferocious as those of a Pan
Germanist."
The Germans it seemed were residents
Of Alsace from the beginning of these
restless tribal movements which came in
the earliest days of our era until the
time of Louis XIV. when Marshal Tu-
renne invaded the land with a great
army and drove all the German soldiers
out. Then Louis and the succeeding
kings did what they could to make AL
SAGE as French as 1t had been German.
The next important historical event
WAS the coming of the French revolu-
ton. To Hansi's way OF thinking Al
sacc proved itself French by being the
birthplace Of the composer of the great
revolutionary song the 4Marseillaise."
During the Napoleonic wars says Hansi,
mary Germans came into Alsace and ate
so much they could hardly move. One
of his most sarcastic illustrations shows
an cfficer posted close to bridge across

On the one hand is the Alsatian, proud
OF his inheritance, of his ancient ciViliZa-
tion, above all of the sufferings he has
endured; on the other hand, is the in

to take possession of all the resources
of the country, TO impose upon it his
customs, his language, and all that
makes up his "Kultur." And that, as
you know. my children. is something
that will be forever impossible. ."
Hansi's book is undoubtedly the clev-
crest book connected with the great Eu-
ropean war that has been published
since the war opened. II is irOnic rather
than strictly truthful and satirical rather
than historical. But it has been in
great demand in France and is read
eagerly, enthusiastically and with loud
laughter wherever it is obtainable. 1t
has made more Of a national hero out
OF Hansi than anything he might accom-
plfsh on the battlefield would ever do.

Each is expected to tip the scales at
200 pounds or more. If he doesn't he
is forbidden to return to his home in
Germany but must go back to where he
was stationed in Alsace until he comes
up to the required weight.
When Hansi comes to the section
which tells of the re-occupation Of AL
SAGE by the Germans in the Franco
Prussian war of 1870 he inserts a page
on which is drawn a huge, shadowy
spiked helmet which serves as a back
ground for the text. The terrible

refers to this period.
With these words Hansi concludes his
history:

feeling found emphatic expression few
years ago in the more or less general
nrotest against tainted money. So, fig
uratively speaking, every mans hand has
been raised against him. Extremely SEN
sitiye, Mr.. Rockefeller knew and felt all
this keenly and, knowing. his natural

and more a recluse.
Only within the last half a dozen
years has this barrier been broken down.
Today more than ever before the human

where formerly only his insatiate thirst
for wealth was apparent. While 1t was

$50 ALIMONY FOR
GRACE LA rue
Court Reads AfhdavitS and
Gives Her That Much
a Week.

According to Mrs. Byron u. Chandler,
who on the stage is Grace La Rue, the
earning Of large profits does not neces-
sarily 60 with the glory Of being a
theatrical manager. As for Chandler,
whom she is suing for separation,
there is no financial gain IN beng
known as the million Dollar KID
especially phcn one is worth only about
$4,000 in cash instead Of $l.00O,OOO.
Chandler has Informed the Supreme
Court that the smaller sum more accu-
rately represents his financial status.
Chandler used 10 have more money.
hut that was before he became "angel'
for his wife. He said he starred Grace
La Rue in Betsy" and the venture cost
him $4,000. while "Molly May" with
the same star, removed him from the
million Dollar Kid" class by $4,000
more Some Of this money nc bor-
rowed from his mother.
These experiences were detailed in
an affidavit filed in court in opposition
20 the application Of his wife for ali
mony. He pointed out that Grace La
Pue was earning $4,000 on the stage.
in view Of which fact hc did not think
income.
The question confronting Justice
Weeks in the mat OF awarding ali
mony was whethc be million Dollar
Kid" was too poor TO pay alimony or
whether Mrs. Chandler was too aiFluent
20 deserve a further allowance. Mrs.
Chandler expressed some surprise at
the large loss Chandler said he had
!, al
lures, and she was not quite ready 10
accept his figures. But if he did lose
il the fault was all MS own. she said.
"Thc real reason for these produc-
tons" said Grace La Rue. "was my
husbands ambition to become a thcat-
rical manager and 10 make money. He
felt that he was thoroughly competent
10 conduct such an undertaking | was
reluctant. but consented because of his
insistcnce. My husband said that If |
could make money for any one else |
could do it for him" Mrs. Chandler
added that she never received the $500
a week which hor husband manager
promised her rs his star.
Chandler said he was compelled to
sell two Of his automobiles and has
placed a third car in storage to cut
down his expenses.
Chambers mother added an affidavit,
in which she said she had been allow
ing her son $500 a month to show her
"motherly love" but she might discon-
tinue this allowance ut any time. She
asserted that her son gave her notes
for loans she made TO him so that he
could star his wife. The loans have
not been repaid. According TO his
mother, Chandler has spent $4,000
from the estate Of his grandmother and
$4,000 from his fathers estate.
Notwithstanding the statement Of
Chandler that his wife was earning
$l2, 800 a year, she made affidavit that
she is now destitute. Her only prop
crty is her jewelry. OF course, her
husbands mother might at any time
stop the income Of her son. but Miss
la Rue has been warned by throat spc
cIalists that ahe might lose her voice
and have 10 leave the stage.
Justice Weeks fixed $50 week as the
amount Of alimony the wife in danger
Of losing her voice should receive from
the husband in danger Of losing his
allowance until tho suit for separation
is tried.
