Johnson Co. Pleases
"Vaudepille" Acts

AS the vaudeville descriptions says,
the Lillian Johnson company did lit
tie singing, a little talking, and quite
a good deal of smiling. They wore
bright colored and eyeful dresses and
had glorious time out OF
their appearance at the chautauqua
Saturday afternoon and evening.
Miss Johnson herself has stepped
before the bright lights Of the vaude-
vile stage, 1t is said, and shows
adapability to chautauqua work.
A number Of very taking songs were
given by the trio, which consisted of
Miss Johnson mezzo soprano, Miss Ell
len Hill, soprano, and Miss Mildred
Chadwick, contralto. Zithers and an
Irish harp added to the uniqueness
Of their program.

that Major William Waldorf

Personalities in the Neus
F0ch M0urns Death of His Son

another boy from the Pyrenees country
and one who loved it as much as he
did. His name was Joseph Cesaire
Joffre. Side by side these two worked
In the classroom, and side by side, some
forty years afterward. they worked for
the salvation of France.
HE was graduated with honor. and
then was sent to Fontainebleau for
further military training. From that
day his life was a series of deserved
successes. Steadily he advanced from
lieutenant through the various ranks
OF an army officer until he became a
MAJOR, but there was nothing spec
tacular about his rise. No exploits
on the red path of adventure took him
to far corners of the world or caused
him to be acclaimed at home as a con-
quering hero, for unlike Marshal
Joffre, who had years in Indo- China
and brilliant victory over the Tuaregs
in the marshes of Sudan, Major Foch
was stationed at various posts in
France. Thus twenty years passed and
then we find him in Paris, a professor
OF military history, strategy and ap-
Piled tactics in the Superior School Of
War. From there he was sent to the
field again, and this move was followed
by other changes of rank as we'll as
location, for he was steadily promoted.
until In 1913 he became a general and
was assigned to the command of the
Twentieth Corps and stationed at
Nancy.
I'm dozen other places he proved.
as he had proved in Lorraine and at
the Marine, that he was the greatest
strategist in the world So what was
more natural than, when General Joffre
retired, that the governments choice
for his successor should have been
Ferdinand Foch? But there were dark
days ahead, for they faced mighty
ana remorseless foe, and as the weeks
dragged on and a crushing German Of
lenslve came, it was decided bv the
Allied chiefs that one master mind
must direct the Allied operations. and
all thoughts turned to the slender.
blue-eyed commander, Ferdinand Foch.
His own son was of that multitude
of gallant Frenchmen who died on the
field of honor, and, as one writer saws.
The laying down of arms meant to
him not leisure to wear aureIs, but
the right of heartbroken old fatbo,.
to sit again by his hearth, desolate
now, thinking back upon happy days
and forward to a reassembled group
IN the house not made with hands. -,

taken passionate interest in DOS

began TO verge on reality.
until several attempts were actually
made to kidnap young Astor. and Mrs.
Astor's health broke down under the
strain. Finally William Waldorf Aston
came to the conclusion that there wa,
no safety for his children IN America.
and, alarmed on their account and bv
has wlfe's health, he transferred his
nome from the United States 10 Eng

bitterness which fell to his share and
much Of his subsequent urpopularity
can be laid to the doors Of the vaults
containing his real estate titles and
his industrial certificates. William
Waldorf Astor's wealth more than his
personality pushed him from America
to more congenial soil.

With the ladrels of victory that a

Katherine D. Gather, writing of the

Joffre, he was born in a Basque viii

philosophy Of the Iron Chancellor
Professor Forester attacked this
Bismarck cult before the war and
ne fought it even more bitterly dur
ing the war. Hence it is that as soon
as the revolution subsidized in Ba-
varla and the revolutionary gov
eminent assumed more or less sta
hlllty it was Professor Forester,
a non-Socialist, that the Social
lst Minister President, Kurt Eisner,
appointed as Ambassador to Berne.
Foerster's personality is interest
ing. His father before him had
been an educator and he was
brought up "konsequent religion
slos'-consistently without confess
sion Of faith. Later Forester came
to Christianity of his own accord.
Ethics, social reform, and especially
reform among criminals, became mis-
lifework. He travelled through
England and the United States
some twenty years back, and some
of his books on criminology had
been translated into English.
II can we'll understand" Pro-
fessor Forester said to me, in the
course of an interview at his home
ir Zurich, "the spirit of revenge in
Allied countries. l am not blind
to what the German army has done
to the north of France and Belgium.
| can readily understand what ha-
tired the sinking of the Lusitania
and the Zeppelin raids provoked,
but for the sake OF future humanity
these acts must not be made the
foundation of new hatreds.
Germany is moving toward
democracy. But, true to the Ger
man character, she is protecting
slowly and deliberately. We are
digesting the heavy experiences of
recent years which refute in radi-
cal manner the course which Ger
man civilization has followed in the
past fifty years. Necessarily the
change which is going on in the
German heart and mind will be
slow, but it must not be mistaken
or even denied"
At this point Professor Forester
came back to America and the in
terest that America takes in the
criminal. Citing some of the prog
ress which America has made in
recent years in the treatment of
juvenile delinquents and of Grim
inals generally, Professor Forester
said:
AS you see, it is now becoming
universally recognized that even TO
a criminal must be held out posi-
bilities for better activity and hon.
est success if he is to be regencr-
ated. How much more, therefore,
IS it necessary to let know great
people that has fallen in error that
the rest of the world Will not ex-
clude it from the most elemental
means of new life 1t is essential
that friendship be held out to the
German people as speedily as pos

William Waldorf Aston was a young

wealth had habit of working two

his immense inheritance automatically
made him national figure. He and
his millions came in for the usual dis

a multimillionaire but leader in

America is so fond. On the decease

he was the head of the entire Aston

His aunt, the late Mrs. William AS

should be distinguished by her Chris
tian name. SO it began with a simple
family argument, such as only an IL

The trouble was that they carried il
too far. Both nephew and aunt ap-
pealed to the postal authorities as ar

Fighting The Bismarck Cult

DR.. Forester was a professor of
philosophy and ethics at the Uni
versity of Munich and at various
other universities in Germany, Aus
tria and Switzerland. He is the
sort of professor whose teaching
always runs counter to established
politics. The principal thing Pro-
fessor Forester was running coun-
ter to in Germany up to the No
vember revolution was the Bis
marck cult. While in the army cir
Giles Bismarckism went over into
junkerdom of the worst order, in
civil life Bismarckism was held up
as a model for the German youth
to follow. Professors were writing
books and treatises expounding the
