New Yorker Accused of Swim

Washington, Aug 5.-Holding out the
prospect of getting poorly paid school
teachers in Porto Rico positions TO
teach Spanish in American high schools,
according to the Postoffice Department,
J. NJ. Paradis, of San German, Porto
Rico, who is alleged TO have operated
under the names of "The Great Agency"

According to w H. Lamar, solicitor
of the Postofiice Department, Paradis
sent letters to teachers in Porto Rico
stating that nine states had made the
teaching of Spanish in all their schools
obligatory; that 5000 or 1000 teachers
were required for this, and that The
Great Agency" and al. II. Barcel" had
contracted to furnish the required
teachers, whose salaries would vary
from SIS to $50 a month. Applicants
were called on to send 81 each.

FRENCH LITERATURE
A Forecast Of Changes to
Come After the War.

Many inconclUsive opinions regard
ing the influence Of the war upon the
literature OF the immediate future have
been printed here and in England. The
subject, an interesting one, since no
bounds are set to the imagination, was
taken 10 recently in France by 81. Victor
Giraud, who predicts, of course, a new
literature for his country, having the
ardor and virility that fit victorious
nation.
Pessimism, he predicts, will disappear;
so will the ironic skepticism OF an Ana
tole France, the "culte du moi" and all
its eccentricities, and the scabrous
novel of "meurs Parisiens." France
will return to her own classical liter
airy traditions and reject foreign in
fuences, especially. Of course. those of
Germany.
In historical literature, especially, the
scientific German spirit will no longer
be tolerated.:
Il had become the accepted view
that history should be a science,
that is to say, a nomenclature OF
facts and a juxtaposition of docu-
mentary texts, and accordingly its
writers kept heaping unreadable
books one on top Of the other. In
all likelihood this mania will pass
away, and we shall perceive, in the
light of contemporary events, that
history is a living thing, and that in
order to reproduce the full move
ment Of life, the resources Of art,
and even those of philosophy, may
advantageously be added to the
exact knowledge of documentary
archives.
There will, of course. be an over
production of war novels and stories,
concludes VI. Giraud.
French lyric poetry will revive. Great
epic poems, he believes, are unsuited to
our times, but he foresees "epic frag-
ments," such as those of Victor Hugo,
and poetic drama.

all villanies and atrocities are on the
other-locting, wanton destruction, the
killing of the wounded, the mlstreat-

malefactor of them all, murderous
