Anatole Frances photographed Idyl

He relies for his knowledge on the popu-
lar wisdom of his maid Melanie or the
blind intuitions OF his dog Mitzi. Here
Anatole Frances scepticism meets the
mysticism of Maurice Bares and Lott.
The Bergsonians would have q right
to count him as an adept were it not for
the contradictions in the book.
Instinct or intelligence, the reason or
the heart, who knows, after all, which
guide to followf
VI
What, then, is the last word of wisdom
for Anatole Francef 1t is still in 1919
apparently what it was for his master,
Renan, in the '9Os. Anatole France IS
the last of the "esthetes," those "esthetes"
of whom France had so many reasons to
be proud but who could have cost her so
dear.
The end of the quest for Anatole
France is not on the line of facts and
action, but on that of art. His is Walter
Pater's ideal. Art and beauty are the only
consolation left to us mortals. "Since I
was g." says Anatole France, ~ felt
that he is fortunate who, giving up all
thinking and comprehension, loses him
self in the contemplation of the beau
tiful."
At the end Of his life, as at the be-
ginning, Anstole France stands high up
on peak, somewhere on Mount Olympus,
among the gods of Greece and the demi-
gods Of French classical literature, in the
company of Voltaire, Renan, Racine, to
the memory of whom he sings dithyramb
at the close Of Petit Pierre. There, on
those heights, France may be ready to
hail him anew some day, when she has
finished rebuilding her devastated home
steads, her cathedrals, her mines, her
orchards
No doubt Petit Pierre has chosen i'll his
time to be reborn among US in that ebb
and tide Of so many conflicting passions.
Even a prodigious child like him re-
sembles more to-day fossil of another
geological period. If Petit Pierre had
been born after 1880 instead of in 1874 he
might be now keeping watch on the Rhine
if he had not fallen, one among so many,
on ''the field Of honor" But, after all,
did not Petit Pierre, not so very long ago,
write Sur Ia role glOrie1ase, that battle
hymn sung to the allied soldiers by the
author of The Epicurean Gdrdenf What
a reeantation on the part of NJ. Bergeret
There must be a planet near Sirius
where the contradictions Of Anatole
France, alias Petit Pierre, alias Sylvestre
Bonnard, alias jerome Coignard, may be
roeoneiled by one Of those kind divinities
who endowed him at his cradle.

"Flsh' is not "fesh," but on the other
hand, it isn't "fsh" Readers who may
have thought the lines in Amy Lowell's
poem, printed in our number of April
81, to have asked, ''is it catgut and horse
hair, or fish saving against the cold blue
gates of the skyf" are duly warned that
the word was fish" and should have been
"hesh." Several have asked if the ref
erence was TO swordish-SUordJfsh and
Poppy Seeds, you know-but two wrongs
do not make a right, hence this correction.

enough for child to learn. Why does
the twentieth century cynie step in to tell
the naive child that, after all, the heart
is not a safer guide than reason?

LOSING
 VALUABLE TRADE

New York, Jan. 23.-Because of de- lay in the issuance of passports to rep resentatives of American Commercial Houses, American manufacturers are losing valuable trade in Cuba and oth- CT Latin-American countries, accord ing to Geo. M. Bradt, published and editor of the Havana Post. who arriv- ed here today from Havana aboard the Steamship Morro Castle.
 While I do not desire to criticise in any way the American passport regulations" said MT. Bradt, "I think that perhaps method could be found whereby reputable representatives of reputable American firms might be given passports with less delay than has been the case heretofore"
 "Red tape" was MT. Bradt's ev- planation of the delay which has been holding up American representatives, while those of England and other countries already industriously apply ing their methods of business expan- sion in the Latin-American countries, The foreign agents are securing long term contracts amounting to many thousands of dollars, he said

PLANS FOR RUSSIA ARE IN BALANCE
 AWAIT REPORTS

Paris, Jan. Whether the effort of the great powers to tranquilize Russia was to succeed or fail was still in the balance tonight. No reply had come from the Bolsheviki and as the wireless message embodying the pro- posal of the Associated Powers was not sent until o'clock this morning, some days may intervene before any thing definite is known.
 In the meantime, prominent anti Bo1shevik leaders in Paris are not clear on their course. First reports that they were favorable to the plan have been followed by statement by such leaders as Sergius Sazonoff that they would not sit at the table with assissins.
 The semi-official Temps also asserts that the supreme councils proposals permits traitors who withdrew Rus sia from the war and turned the en- tire German strength against France to be received on, the same footing as the faithful" The American and Brit ish delegated feel however that the proposal was the only course open.

BOLSHEV|K| HAVE PLANNED ID SEIZE
 THIS GOVERNMENT
Schools to Teach Doctrine Have Been Estab-
 lished.

Washington, Jan 23.-Testifying before the Senate committee investi- gating German propaganda, Archibald Stevenson, of the Military intelligence bureau, said today that representa- lives of the Bolshevik movement al- ready have organized Soviets in the Industrial centers of this country and that their plans contemplate eventual eseiZure of the government.
 Mir. Stevenson also said evidence exists that Germans in the United States have begun postwar propa- ganda with view of exerting an in- fluence which would make the peace terms imposed on Germany less oner- ous. He called the committees atten- tion to a recent editorial in the New York. Staats Zeitung, which he said endeavored to convey the idea that American soldiers overseas had come to regard the Germans in light other than that of enemies.
 John Reed Leader.
 Leaders of the Bolsheviki movement in this country, MT. Stevenson testi- fled, included John Reed, who, he said, was the consul general at New York, of the Russian Soviet government, and Albert Rhys Williams, of New York. Schools for the teaching of the Bolshevik doctrine to children have been established, the witness said and lecturers sent out. He told the com mittee that Hutchins Hapgood, of New York, was one of he lecturers and that Leonard D. Abbott, of New York, was head of the school for teaching radicalims.
 Money From Russia.
 Money for the Bolshevik propagan- da work, MT. Stevenson asserted, was sent from Russia. N
 ''The element that is furthering radicalism here is the same element that is fighting American soldiers in Russia" said the witness. "They can be said to be the same, for Reed and Williams are their representatives in this country"
 Asked by Senator Overman for remedy for Bolshevism, MT. Steven son said he would recommend deporta- tion of alien agitators, punishment under law specifically drawn for that purpose of Americans who ad- vocate revolution, barring from the countr yultra-radical publications, and counter-propaganda education.

LACK OF IMPLEMENT SHEDS COST ARKANSAS e, ,ooo, 900 tAsT'YEAR.

The lack of implement sheds cost Arkansas farmers, $2.0O0,000 last year, and this does not take into considera- ton the tremendous losses from i'm proper care to avoid unnecessary wear and tear, which, will add another S6s- 00O, ,000. f
 Cheap sheds should be provided and implements repaired. Remember that wood rots and metal rusts unless pro. tected. If it is impossible, however, to house the machinery, it is especially necessary that liberal coats of paint and oil be applied All working parts should be greased and oiled; the blow bottoms, cultivator shovels, disk hal- row blades planter and grain drill furrow openers should be painted to prevent rust. A good combination is made by mixing axle grease and lu. bricating oil until thick paint is ob tained. A liberal application of this material will keep moisture away from the metal wearing parts and prevent rust. Where paint has been knocked from the wood or metal parts they should be repainted wherever possi- ble, keep the implements off of the ground in the sheds. A few boards we'll placed will do the work
 A little care during the winter will certainly save many dollars and & great deal of trouble next spring.

TO PROTECT QUAIL.

A resolution to secure legislation for the permanent protection of quail has been adopted by the farm bureau of Clinton County, Ill. The bureau took this action chiefly because of the value ofthe quail in destroying chinch bugs, other insect pests, and obnox- ious weed seeds. As many as 400 chinch bugs have been found in a quail's crop. The quail is especially active in gathering bugs from hedge rows, punches of grass, and ether covers that are. difficult to reach by burning.

Pola was q Thracian colony when the Romans swooped down and took it in IFS B. C., and stormy existence followed this descent of the world-con. querors. In 1879 it was virtually blot ted out of existence when the Genoese, daring forbears of Admiral Christopher Columbus, defeated the Venetians in 8 great sea fight off the port, and then wrecked the town-and kept it out of the annals for century and a half. It came back finally and gwaxed impOr- tant again and since 1915 was Austria's g principal naval harbOr.

INSANITY TO HAZING

a Washington dispatch to the Balti-
more Evening Sun has the following
to say:
Washington, Nov. 6.-Philip H
Settler, of Lebanon, Pa, midshipman
at the Naval Academy, who recently
was the central figure in what had
been variously termed an attempt to
commit suicide and a renewal of haz-
ing at the Annapolis school, has been
admitted to the Government hospital
for the insane at Washington He
is suffering from a complete nervous
and physical collapse. Physicians.
however, state that his condition is
only temporary and hold out hopes
for his recovery.
Miss Margaret Settler, sister of the
young man, stated that she believed
her brothers condition to be due to
the treatment he had received at the
hands of hazers in the Naval Academy,
although she had no evidence to sup
port her belief She denied that
Settler drank iodine and ink with
suicidal intent.

WOULD DOUBLE PAY
OF EVERY MAN IN
THE NAVAL SERVICE
So States Secretary Daniels When
Asked About Legislation In
House Affairs Com.

''If / could dispose of the matter
man in the navy get double pay"
This statement was made yesterday
BY Secretary Daniels when asked
about legislation pending before the
House Naval Affairs Committee pro-
viding increased salaries for commits
stoned officers and enlisted men of the
navy.
"Of course. we must be reasonable"
continued the Secretary, "and our
personal wishes cannot be considered.
II know that every man living on a
salary, unless his compensation be
very large. is having hard time un-
der prevailing prices. This is espe-
cia.ly true of commissioned officers
in the lower grades. of warrant and
petty officers with home establish
ments to maintain, and of the enlist
ed men generally.
The only thing 1 have said one
way or another about any pending
bill is that do not think it would be
just to give the same percentage OF
increase to officers receiving, say.
$4,000 a year and those receiving
$4,000.
II want the men who need it most
to receive the largest percentage of
increase. Congress undoubtedly will
work out the problem along this line.
I'VE have lost many excellent men
because they found it impossible to
make out on the compensation allow
