SMALL CITIES PAY FIRE LOSSES

companies during the year 1918 and during the

$685. the losses paid $7,47117 In the past 26 years
the premiums paid 1922 ,85156, the losses paid

Humorous Criticisms On
Ibanez, Spanish Orator
and Vigorous Writer.

Next Tuesday we were to have
heard Vicente Blasco Ibanez, called
the greatest Of living novelists" (by
his publishers.) Coal miners have
decreed that he shall not speak to
an Omaha audience at this time
The engagement has been cancelled
for the present. We can only buy
his "The Four Horsemen Of the
Apocalypse" "The Shadow of the
Cathedral" Mare Nostrum," or
others of his sweeping stories, and
curl snugly around the hreside and
read. After all, to be optimistic,
this may be more satisfactory, for
lbanez does not speak English,
gentleman who knows both Spanish
and English reads a translation of
what Ibanez is about to say. Then
Ibanez himself takes the floor and
speaks in Spanish. He is said to be
natural orator.
His gestures seem impulsive, they
follow his thought, the whole man
moves as he talks, and at the right
moment he glides from one side OF
the reading desk to the other. There
is manuscript on the desk; he
never refers to it; but the desk is
useful to tap upon with his long
fingers when he wishes to emphasize
points. Frequent applause follows
his periods, which he utilizes to pat
his brow with 4 beautiful white
handkerchief.
One critic says of him. "He is a
force; he has gusto and vitality, and
lie is fercely interested in many
things, besides the writing of fic-
ton, politics, history, sociology.
"a vital, vigorous, fearless man
who spurns the word neutral. He
is as pro-ally as Raemaekers. A
sturdy man with bull-like head;
an 'agin the government man; in
1885 he was imprisoned for six
months for writing a sonnet against
the Spanish government; a imam OF
imagination and dynamic driving
power. My only objection to him
is that he allows himself to be called
the greatest of living novelists."
But perhaps, as he doesn't read Eng
liSn, lie is not dWdIS tudt NiS Hoo
been said about him. So here's to
you, Vicente Blasco Ibanez.
Another critic says:
"Mr. Ibanez is preparing to write
a novel about America. This ardent
Spanish writer and publicist does
not know English, but "the greatest
of living novelists" rises above such
a slight limitation. A few months
of rapid observation and travel,
few months of rushing writing, and
the book will be done. We shall all
be reading it. His publishers will
see to. that. They have exploited
Ibanez magnihcently. By the clev-
crest advertising campaign that has
come under my notice, outspoken
and intelligent as well as clever,
they have forced America to take
Ibanez to its Preside. For weeks
resisted the Establishments of their
advertisements, as ! resisted the adj
vertisements of suit of B. V. D.
underwear and an electric toaster;
but in the end I was conquered. Ad-
vertisement always conquers pro-
