Professor English Literature of Yale
University, was so impressed by the
William Fox perturbation of LES
MISERABLES, with William Far
mum playing the part of the immor-
tai Jean Vatican which will be shown
at the Opera House Thursday, May
1st, that he wrote a letter of COM
mendation to Mr.. Fox.
"I was deeply affected by LES
MISERABLES," wrote Professor
Phelps. "The artistic and spiritual
values of the great novel are both
preserved to a remarkable degree in
the adaptation; and the acting is ex-
cellent. I wish everyone in America
could see this picture"
Discussing the production, Prof.
Phelps said the educational value OF
such pictures as LES MISERABLEs
would not be over estimated.

before the American Bar Association,

he declared democratic national
ism, as contemplated under the peace
covenant framed at Paris, will sur
vive as the basis for future society.
Further, he urged the establishment

cut such q court, Mr.. Lansing pre-
dieted q return to diplomatic anarchy.
Mr.. Lansing explained the stand Of
the American commissioners in op-
posing q trial Of the former German
Emperor. on the grounds that there
was no basic law, except the general
law Of morality, on which TO base
such charges. His guilt was not Of

said.
