PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE placing Of
Franco-American relations on a pro-
founder basis of friendship. which viii
result in the immediate future in
greater commercial and financial ben
efits to both countries than has been
the case in many years, is the domi-
nant note of world politics to-day, IN
the opinion of leading statesmen of
Europe with whom | discussed the
question this week
The San Francisco Fair is largely
responsible for this fresh flip given
to the traditional friendship of the
two greaS republics. Owing to the
Anglo-German agreement to abstain
from participation in the Panama Ex-
position, France to-day finds herself
in the very enviable position of being
alone among the greatest of European
powers whose arts and commercial
products will be brought before the
eyes of the American public at the
greatest fair ever organized, and pol
iticians and economists here are fully
alive to the tremendous advantage
that this exceptional position is bound
to confer on France.
One of them, a leader in his set,
said to me this week that Germany
and Britain could not have done a
better turn to France than to decline

Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Feb. 14.-George fBer-
nard Shaw to-day, when asked what
he thought of the peace centenary
celebration, said:
My view of 1t is that the celebra-
ton is the greatest nonsense ever
conceived even by the Anglo Ameri-
can race. Here are two peoples who,
individually and collectively, loathe
and hate one another, and have done
so for the past century.
Suddenly they realize that they
haven't fought each other for a hum
bred years. Immediately they wish
to raise big sum of money in order
to celebrate the event by SOLDERING
over one another.
He Can't Understand 1t.
Now, if they had been fighting
each other for hunded years and
suddenly stopped, would be able to
understand such a movement But
for two unfriendly nations suddenly
to eonjure up feelings OF thanksgiv-
ing because they happen to behave
like decent citizens, although all the
time ready to fly at each other S
throats, is beyond my powers of COM
prehension,
Il might Just as wen WISH 10 cele-
brate the fact that ! have not exer-
cised my pugilistic instincts in the
last "a hours and have not punched
your head"
But, admitting all this to be true,
how would you celebrate the partic-
ular event 2" was asked.
But | wouldn't celebrate it" re-
piled Shaw.
Might Get "Mad Drunk"
We'll, how would you celebrate not
punching anyone's head for day.
well I might go get mad drunk; !
might erect monuments, but when II
comes to peace celebrations I'd rath-
er not try to imagine the Anglo Saxon
race all getting drunk.
Yes, | think monuments would be
the best for the present occasion. You
see, there wouldn't be any lies told,
except when the speeches were made
unwilling them and in the actual in
scriptions. 1t might be unacceptable,
but it would be unique. Yes, on the
whole, favor monuments for the
celebration of the Anglo American
peace centenary"

PARIS, Feb. 14.-Lina Cavalieri,
ethereal and exquisite beauty, figures
twice in the news of to-day. First
there comes from the United States,
where she is with her very newest
and, as she vows, her most beloved
husband, Lucien Muratore. She is
there proclaiming her secret of di-
vine happiness, telling Americans
how to be safe against the troubles
Of this world and fears of the next
Her thoughts. according to reports
from Philadelphia, are soaring far
above this earth to the seventh circle
of bliss.
And then the other news. She has
practically won a suit brought against
her by tripe seller of Paris. The
lowly vender of tripe, caring nothing
for the newly welded bliss of the
famous beauty, invaded her happi-
ness with a suit for $1,000 because
her St. Bernard dog, in playful
moment, and probably inspired by
the scent of the tripe sellers wares,
overthrow him. injuring his eye. The
court, however, awarded him only
$50.
Disdains Triple Verdict.
The news of her legal victory was
cabled across to Cavalieri. Immedi-
ately there came back the news OF
how she received the tidings. 1t is

to blissful contemplation of her beam
ing husband. Again her thoughts
scared above tripe sellers and other
mundane things, and she smiled hap

According to the news that comes
from the United States, Lima Cava-
lieri has found happiness at last, ac-
cording to her own confession. This
prize beauty, former wife of Bob
Chanler, has a secret recipe for joy
which she offers free of charge
ty hints--to the world. She divulged
that secret to newspaper men who
found her, smiling into the face of
her new husband, who is a tenor of
the Philadelphia Chicago opera COM
pany, and whom she married here
last summer.
And here it is:
Marry of your own kind, of your
own blood, of your own country.
For without happiness, marriage is
cruel and harsh. l know now. 1t

And to prove it, she smiled up at
Lucien Muratore her spouse.
THE secret came unsought," she
said. And it must be beacon to all
women who seek happiness in mar
riage."

ROME, Feb. IA little storm in
a tea pot has been raised over the
inaccuracies and "defamatory and
unwarranted" statements which have
been inserted in so many of the ltal-
ian guide books, written by super
fetal and biased persons" The result
is the Government has been urged to
suppress or recall these misleading
guide books.
Even Baedecker, as well as the Jo-
hanne and Hare guides, has not been
exempt from this scathing criticism
from infuriated Italian writers. Heir
Baedecker, at the time his firm was
under fire of the critics, promised to
have the "libelous matter" inquired
into, and II found wrong to be cor
rected without delay.
To Improve Facilities.
At the same time a movement has
been started to improve tourist ia
cillties. Visitors are on the increase
yearly, and nothing has been done
until now, either by the Government
or those who directly benefit thereby,
to help make the sojourn of tourists
pleasant. The new movement is spe-

now prevailing that the foreigner WIS.,

furnished in the eyes of Queen Mary
by his brother, Prince Aage's mar
riage to the daughter of a poor Ital-
ian nobleman, whose patent of no.
billy is barely q century old.
Princess Mary, however, was de-
lighted with the romantic marriage,
which shed luster in her eyes also on
her beloved Prince Eric, and without
the knowledge of her mother she sent
a telegram and a wedding present
bought with her own money to the
young couple in Italy, for which she
was most severely scolded when a
message of thanks arrived.
= Princess Mary, by the way, feels
greatly relieved, l am told, because
there Is reason to believe that the
sutton favored by Queen Mary, the
Grand Duke OF Strelitz has fallen
into disgrace, probably because of
his continued escapades with the fair
Niscountess Curzon. At any rate, he
has entirely disappeared from court.
