A book by Professor Thorstcin Web
len, head of the department of cconom
les at the University of Missouri, en-.
titled "Thc Nature of Peace" in which
the author argues that the world prob
ably should surrender Internationally
to the Huns in order to bring universe,
peace, was described yesterday BY
Henry A. Wise Wood as the "most
amazingly damnablc piece of pro- Ger
man propaganda that the Federal au
thorities have ever overlooked"
What Veb!en Suggests
Professor Neblcn in his book assert:
in substance. according to Mr. Wood:
That by surrendering uncondition-
ally to Germany the world could stop
the present war "waste" of blood
and money.
That with the Kaiser ruling the
world the expense of maintaining
rival armies and navies would be
eliminated in the future.
That with Germany owning the
world, there would no longer be the
national markets..
many made the subjected nations
pay all Of them, would hardly be
higher than they are now.
That the condition of the enslaved
peoples would probably at least be
better than the present plight Of
Belgium.
That the wholesale murder of
Armenians by Turks on orders from
Germany was an endeavor to re-
duce an 'undesirable" population
beforehand, without bringing un-
necessary blame on Germany.
That the intellcctuals of Germany
(thc parents Of kultur) have thought
the whole matter over very care
fully, and have come to the decision
that it is really best for the world
TOR Germany to rule it.

"Professor Veblen is trying to in

Excerpts from Professor Veblen:

joys the unqualified usufruct of sucf
resources as are placed at its disposa
by the feudalistic loyalty of the Ger

it may concern.

In speaking of her recent Famous Players Paramount picture, Her Better Self" which will be the at traction at the Coliseum Theatre Sunday and Monday, Pauline Fred erick said: Working in motion pie lures is like taking course in a University I should have said like taking every course in a University, for with every picture something diff ferent comes up and one is learning new things every day It is fascin- ating work. For instance, in Her Better Half we took many of the scenes in one of the most famous neighborhood charity houses in the country and I learned much of the practical side of the work. We saw hundreds of poor people that benefit each day from these busy centres of charity-mothers sent away with their arms piled high with food and clothess for their little ones, children suffering from neglect or cruelty re- lieved and all sorts of misery allev- iated It has made me form reso- lution to do. more than ever towards helping this wonderful work along" and with this the energetic star hurried away at the call of her di- rector.

Emma Magdalena Rosalia Maria , Josefa Barbara, Baroness Orczy = that's the way it reads. Despite all those names, however, the Baroness has written one of the masterpieces of dramatic literature-"The Scarlet Pimpernel."
 The play of that name was the joint work of the Baroness and her husband, Reverend Montagu Bars tow. The novel, from which Will liam Fox's magnificent picturization was taken, was the sole effort of | his wife.
 Baroness Orczy was born in 1885, of an ancient family of European mo- bility. When fifteen years old, she | went to England. The country and the people pleased her so much that she made the island her future home and cemented her loyalty to 1t by marrying an English clergyman. Her first artistic efforts were spent in pen and ink sketchings and oil color work Then she decided that she should be able to write as we'll as a great many of the authors whose works were ranking among | the six best sellers.
 The first pieces from the pen or the Baroness were published in Eng fish and American magazines. They were a series of short stories, writ ten around character called "The Old Man in the Corner"
 Their success encouraged her to embrark on larger ventures-with the result that she was soon one Of the best known woman playrights and novelists in England.
 The Scarlet Pimperner was first produced on the stage in London in 1905. The roles played in the Fox production by Dustin Farnum and Winnifred Kingston. were acted there by Fred Terry. brother of Ellen Terry and Julia Nelson.
 The novel based on the play was published the same year. The stage production was so successful that it registered more than 2,0O0 perform ances. within the first six years of
