POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS

I'VE are told that we shall break
the heart of the world If we do not
take the league as it stands" says
Senator Lodge. II fear that the hearts
of the vast majority Of mankind would
beat on strongly and steadily and
without any quickening l fthe league
were to perish altogether. If it should
be effectively and beneficently
changed, the people who would lie
awake in sorrow for single night
could easily gathered in one not very
large room, but those who would
draw a long breath of relief would
reach to millions"
Apropos of the President, Senator
Lodge says: 1--WE hear much of WIS.,
ions and l trust we shall continue to
have visions and dream dreams of a
fairer future for the race. But Wis
ions are one thing and Missionaries are
another, and the mechanical appli-
ances Of the rhetorician designed to
give picture of present which does
not exist and Of future which no
man can predict are as unreal and
shortlived as the steam or canvas
clouds, the angels suspended on wires
and the artificial lights of the stage.
They pass with the moment of effect
and are shabby and twdry in the day
light. Let us at least be real Wash

Senator Borah: II have in my desk
perhaps the most brilliant defense
that has been made in America of late
years of the policy of isolation, so
called, and of the maintenance Of

Nancy puts on a lot of style. Nancy
and Paris were areas closed to leaves,

passes to Paris in response to the
popular demand. Regarding Nancy,

Metz more showed up, until there
must have been over twenty of us at
once. Lorraine is very like Germany,
and Metz is dandy city; the people
are perhaps one-third German, and
everyone seems to speak both French
and German, also quite bit of Eng
lish. As in Coblenz, there are mag
nificent hotels and fine shops. The
cathedral is the largest and most
splendid I have seen. A round hole
about five feet through goes up the
high tower, and we climbed a spiral
iron stairs up this. Some climb! A
fat person could not make it, and
would advise the short-winded and
stiffnecked to keep away. The view
was grand, could see the city spread
out, with two great forts one on
each side, and the whole surrounding
country. This cathedral was built
in 1915. Around the front end Of it,
about thirty feet from the ground, are
four statues Of saints, each about
twelve feet in height. Since the
seizure of Lorraine by Germany some
forty years ago., the statue to the
right, nearest the high tower, has
been changed to a very good likeness
of the kaiser, thus making him
saint (D However, it now has been

HIGH BROW STUFF NOT ALWAYS IS
 DRAWING CARD
MaeterIinCk's Great Human Interest Play Teaching Lesson of Life is Being
 Shown Here

Theatre managers take a flyer "highbrow stuff in the parlance of the theatre, which is always more or less of a gamble whether it will take with the public.
 Such a piece is Maeterlinck's Blue Bird" to be seen at the Coliseum the last time tonight. Most students and readers of human progress are fam liar with the works of Maeterlinck, which delve into and search out the secrets of life and are known as classics.
 No expense was spared to produce Blue Bird" in order to carry out his ideas of the author and open the eyes of humanity to the beauties and surroundings of every day life. Blue Bird is an allegorical representation of the restless quest of man for hap piness.
 Maurice Maeterlinck Is a Belgian French dramatist, who is classed as "A Belgian Shakespeare" His strong mySulClSH uodlS WllA luHudulolltdlo of life. He has delved into Flemish and other medieval history. Whether in philosophy, or drama, or lyric, Maeterinck is exclusively occupied in revealing or indicating the mys- teries which lie, only just out of sight, beneath the surface of ordi- nary life. As one writer says: "He allows life itself to astonish us by its strangeness by its inexplicable elements. Many of his plays are re- ally highly pathetic records of unseen emotions; they are occupied with, the spiritual adventure of souls, and the ordinary facts of time and space have no influence upon the minds of the characters. We know not who these strange characters are, but their life is intense and consistent-of whol ly spiritual character, they are mys- tories with the mystery of the move ment of the soul"
