SATIRE PLAYED
 GREAT PART IN WORLDS HISTORY
Finest Talents Poured Out
 Along This Line.

On Oct. II, 166O. Paul Scarron, the eminent comic writer and satirist of France, died. Over and above his brilliant works his name and place in history are forever assured for his name is associated with the fe- male ruler of the Grand Monarque, Paul Scarron, deformed cripple, the first husband of Madame de Main tenon.
 Born in Paris, he became an abbe with a benefce at Le Mans, but he lived in Rome, where he indulged in the widest debaucheries which left him the deforned cripple, the broken man in body. Returning to Paris he attached himself to the great Cardinal Mazarin during the minority of Louis XIV. His house was the rendezvous of all the wits and the 1iterad of the epoch, for old Scarron was brilliant conversationalist, and also knew how to draw out nascent talent. Scarron's s burIesque poetry was highly popular. His prose novels had an enormous success, while his dramatic bur Iesques created a furore in Paris. Scarron was famous for his flashing epigrams, his jeux d'esprit and his scalding wit.
 As we open the daily paper, each morning, and survey the cartoon on the happenings of the day-Govern- ment, Society, Labor-it is scarcely realized what an august history lies behind that cartoon, and leads just up to that cartoon. Satire" is the
 employment of irony, or keen wit to
 ridicule vices or abuses in govern ment, or evils of any sort. In the modern cartoon humor is blended with wit-one does not criticize merely, one bursts right out laugh
 ing. Wit and Rumor are entirely dis
 tinct creatures. Wit is biting, often
 bitter, unsparing as though charged with electricity. Humor is playful,
 jocose, genial, delightful in the ludic-
 rous and in sympathy with it. Dickens was a great Humorist
 Thackeray was the eminent harpist.
 Says our own Edwin P. Whipple,
 ''Wit laughs at a person; Humor laughs with him.
 The saving grace, 1t has been said, is Humor. No gift of the gods is more precious.

A special feature of the mid week service at Park Street Congregational church this week Wednesday night, will be the returns on the question naire that has been sent to a dozen or more men and women in regard to the Peace Treaty and the League of Nations.

Do you approve of the League of Nations covenant as now incorporated in the Treaty? Should any of the Reserva- tions in the form proposed by the majority report of the Foreign Rela- tions Committee be adopted? If not, should any reservations be adopted, and, if so, what?"

STEVENSON DAM
 TOBE INSPECTED THIS SATURDAY
Members of Connecticut Editorial Association to Have Meeting.

The members of the Connecticut Editorial Association, and many other
 newspaper executives and editors of the state are planning for an inter esting days outing on Saturday, whes1 they will go to Stevenson for an in
 spection of the dam and reservoir of
 the Connecticut Light and Power Company. The Editorial Association
 will hold it's annual meeting in Derby
 following the trip to the dam. While
 at the dam, the newspapermen will have luncheon at which Governor Aol- colm will be present. The governor will be a member of the party i throughout the trip.
 The mammoth dam and power plant at Stevenson. between Monroe and Oxford, a,vout seven miles above Der by, is the biggest engineering feat ever attenH-ed in the state, and is ] now in the process of completion: It
 will be the largest dam of it's kind in
 New England.
 The dam itself is 125 feet high, and i from one bank of the Housatontc to 1 the other, it measures nearly q quar- ter mile; 155,C0G cubic yards of con-
 crete have already been used in the
 dam, which is S1 feet in width at its
 base. Across the crest of the dam, 20 2 feet above the structure, a concrete l highway bridge is being completed, 25 fleet wide, which will connect the roadways on either side of the river.
 Work is not yet completed at Stew 1 enson, so it will be possible for the ! newspa permen to witness the darn in 1 construction. Locomotives hauling i cars about the plant concrete mixers. l steam shovels, derricks, pumps, car l penter shop, machine shop, laboratory, 1 the workmen's living and dining 1 quarters, engineers quarters, hos 1 pital and other buildings will prove l interesting to the visitors. The l power plant with it's big 10000 HIP l generators. will also be a spot of l considerable interest.
 In the tour of the reservoir behind l the dam, the newspapernen will visit l part of the drainage area. When l the reservoir is filled the water will l be backed up for over ten miles. and l will contain one and one-haIf billion i cubic feet of water.
 The Stevenson development should 1 prove a big economic factor in the 1 states industrial life, for by the use 1 of this water power thousands of tons | of coal will be released monthly tc | other industries of the state.
 The newspa permen will meet at the Hotel Clark in Derby on Saturday, at
 11:30, and at 2 they will start in au- l tomobiles for the dam. Luncheon will l be served, after which a tour of the dam, power house, and reservoir will | be made, the party returning to Der l by at 4 o'clock. Practically all the | prominent newspa perInen of the state | have indicated they will be present
 as guests of the officials Of the Con- | necticut Light 6S Power Co.

Vienna, Oct 14-Austria, since the collapse, has no need to fear enigra- tion, for in the time between Nove1n- ber, 1918, and July, 1919, no less than 100000 contradictions have taken place. The majority of them are of residents of Bohemia. and NIoravia of German ancestry, who, rather than come under Czech rule and be Czech citizens have rushed ito Vienna and taken on German-Ausrian citizen ship.

The comedies were presented on a movable stage on four wheels, and the performers were rewarded with a basket of figs and a cask of wine. These comedies merged into the Drama proper.

GIVES REPORT
ON JAP CRIMES
Presbyterian Mission Tells Of the
Cruelties Practiced in Korea
by Japanese.

New York, July ia report Of
alleged Japanese atrocity in Korea
was made in public today at the
headquarters of the Presbyterian
church in America. 1t is a result of
Investigations by representatives in
Korea of the church. The imprison-
ment of some of it's missionaries by
the Japanese authorities is report
ed.
The report, which is several thou
sands of words in length, is de-
scribed by the Presbyterian church
in its introduction as follows:
"The American papers are al
ready full to overflowing with the
reports of atrocities in Korea. .
knowing that another Belgium is
on the worlds hands, it becomes
necessary that the facts be stated
by someone and that these be held
to form the basis of constructive
reformation later on. This article
is written with this idea in mind.
Many OF these reports are re-
pulsive in the extreme and our
readers blood will boil with indig-
nation as ours, who have witnessed
these things. We =" leave the
facts to convey their own lesson"
Preliminary police examinations
of Koreans suspected of completely
in the revolutionary movement are
said in the report to include every
human refinement in brutality"
men being beaten to death and
women subjected to nearly every
possible form of shameful treat
ment
A signed statement by an Amer
ican resident in Korea dated April
%, 1919, said that "the execution Of
women who have been arrested for
their activity in the independence
movement is the most disgraceful
and humfliating possible"
Press Endangers Relations.
In conclusion, after publishing
what are alleged to be violently
anti-American articles from certain
Japanese newspapers, the report Of
the Presbyterian investigators says.
'it is unnecessary to say more.
These articles speak for them
selves. The reader can Judge of the
attitude OF the press when the gov
ernment permits such stuff to be
printed. AS the press always is un-
der the censor here. when such
stuff is printed the government be-
comes morally responsible. The
truth is prohibited. Falsehoods and
libels are allowed. Such course of
