That he made considera ble use of Brooke's poem is certain from divers verbal resem- blances as well as from a general likeness in the matter and ordering of incidents. As regards the incl dents of the play, Shakespeares in vention is confined to the duel be- tween Mercutio and Tybalt, and the meeting of Romeo and Paris at. the tomb of Juliet. Shakespeare elevates Paris with the breath of -nobler sen timent than is found in the earlier versions of the play; and the charac- ter of Juliet is proportionately raised through the pathos shed around her second lover, from the circumstances of his death. Moreover, in our inn mortal play of Shakespeare the incl dents are managed with the utmost skill for dramatic effect, so what was before-in the hands of others less gifted-a lazy and 1ymphatic nara tive throbs with animation and inter- est and the passion of Love.

The immortal love story of Romeo ard Juliet which age cannot witner nor custom deprive of its in finite charm; the story which fur uished the basis of t!oe tragedy was exceedingly popular Shakespeare's time.

 In the dark corners of the shop are collected lanterns of every descrip- ten. with slim, graceful ones with modest crests to the great, fat, bulgy kind splashed with bold black and rcd characters.

TRADING WITH RUSSIA.
The Possibilities and Difficulties Of
 the Situation.

American business men are casting about in an effort to determine whether or not they should endeavor to do imm ediate business in Russia, in case the United States government concurs in the recent announcement by the supreme council in Paris, which partially lifts the blockade, but definitely refuses to change the allied policy toward the Bolshevists, and ex- pressly limits trade to that done di- rectly with the great cooperative or Sanizations of Russian.
 In my opinion, writes Phil Norton in The Worlds Markets. published by R. G. Dunn & Co.,, the possibilities and difficulties confronted in this proposed renewal of trade appears to be about as follows:
 American business men thoroughly realize that they must make every ef- fort to prepare the way for trading with Russia at the earliest moment, such trade is practicable. They real ize that this is not only their oppor- tunity, but their duty, that they can not afford to lose faith in Russia. They can not afford to lose the friend ship of Russia; they wish to keep that friendship for reasons other than those expressed, in terms Of com

merce. They recognize the danger of trading with Russia on a large scale at a time when that trade must be purely speculative because of the moral and financial risk involved. They know that British and other competitors have formed combinations with adequate government protection, whereby the winner will carry the loser, thus making it difficult for American firms working single handed to operate on an equally con servative, non speculative basis. Americans realize the danger of in creasing the enmity toward this coun- try in Russia, on the part of the peasant, through offering him goods at a price, which, though not netting the American a great profit, because of unavoidable losses due to sur rounding conditions, must appear to the individual easant, who must help carry these losses as highly specula- tive and of a profiteering character. SpecuIators are well known and well hated in Russia. It was due to them that the co-operatives came into existence. zr
 American business men must decide whether or not-is better to attempt to commerce trading irnm ediately in the face of these conditions and po- tentialities, or to prepare now for trade when conditions are more near ly normal. The solution promising greater and more immediate results
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-03-11

would seem to be a combination of American interests through which in dividual concerns can be given such protection as will enable them to do business on conservative margin of profit. If such a combine deals through the co-operatives, many of the risks referred to already may be: eliminated, because of the widespread organization of the eo-operatives-
 The American business man is quite well aware of the fact that the CO., operative organizations no matter what their native weaknesses may be are the only economic institutions now functioning in Russia and Si-s beria- The co-operatives have made known to the American business man the conditions which caused the de- velopment of the remarkable cooper ative purchasing and distributing sys- tems, and have pointed out to them the fact that the co-operatives have not only held together during the war and during. Bolshevik domination. but have actually increased their mem. bership and scope.

MARINES
 ARE NOW PART
 OF THE CORPS

In spite of the fact-that the ordin- ary- oldtime application of the term
 horse marines' was simply a jest manufactured or repeated to annoy the Marine Corps, who, of course, when aboard ship are not mounted.
 Horse Marines are now actually an integral part of the United States Marine Corps, according to Sergeant Marvin L. Nelson of the Marine Corps Recruiting station. Is Fairfield avenue.
 The American Marines, however, by no means have the monopoly of this sobriQuet. We read of horse ma rbnes'' serving with the British Fleet in Lord Howe's victory of June 1, 17s4, and British Horse MarineG' did some severe fighting on the West In dian Station in 17e5. The "horse marine" joke was anticipated in France as far back as 1859, in spite of the fact that she never had an organized corps of marines on ship board.
 The '-1orse Marine joke is now a feeble one inasmuch as the present day U. s. Marine Corps has actual need for and employs many horses in it's varied service the world over.
 When ashore marine field officers are mounted, s 1n army regiments, and all marine corps officers are now required to be proficient in horseman- ship. Mounted patrols of marines are used in navy yards at home, at naval stations in our foreign possessions and at American Legations abroad. Only recently mounted detachments of marines proved very useful in rid ding Haitian jungles Of bandits. Ma rine corps artillery has need for horses to draw their field pieces and for fire control and reconnaissance details. t+.
 The need of instruction in horse manship has been felt by marine corps officials to such an extent that regular equitation classes for officers and enlisted men are today being conducted at the Quantico, Va, train ing station.

YANK. MAY MEET TANK ON SOME
 BATTLEFIELDS

There is an American auxiliary to the plucky little Lithuanian Army, com posed of former veterans of the A. E. F. who are too proud to stop fighting.
 In The Home Sector, the eN-sold- iers' magazine conducted by the for mer editorial council of The Stars and Stripes in writing of the new band of Tanks overseas who can pick an army to order, Philip Won Blon says: ..The Lithuanians are said to have obtained scores of American and British volunteers, and the little country's ambitious military program that might mean armed intervention Ip the affairs of other countries, IS viewed so seriously in Allied Europe that it might bring to fulfilment pro posed international action to nip the whole crop of wou1d-be Napoleons.

versions of the tale make no approach to such nasterly delineation. Herein is the great difference between the older tale and the story in Shakes peare's hands ;in the former, the persons are used as a frame work for the story; in Shakes peares hands the story is but a can vas for the portraiture of character and life.
 Says Coleridge of Romeo and JE- 1iet'': That law of unity which has it's foundation in Nature itself, the unity of feeling, is everywhere ob- served. In Romeo and JuIiet'' all is Youth and Spring-Youth with it's follies, virtues, precipitancies;- Spring with it's odors, flowers, transiency Romeo's change of passion, sudden marriage, rash death, are all the eff fects of Youth; whilst in Juliet love has all that is tender and melancholy in the nightengale, all that is voIup- l tuous in the rose, all that is fresh ness in the Spring.

DANVIi.l.E, VA, Sept. 2S.-Much
OF the gloom apparent here early last
week was dispelleu Monday when the
Danville tobacco market resumed
after remaining closed for part of last
week. at the request of the farmers.
Prices showed an upward tendency
on every grade except perhaps the
very common type and some wrappers
brought as high as SOS, which was
cheering to the market Observers
Fully $4,000 pounds We're disposed
of, and SO far as could be learned
no farmers took in their tobacco or
turned in their tags. Nobody was
prepared to say whether the reaction
was due to tho recent agitation for
better prices or If the general trend
of the offerings was better. Planters
oppressed satisfaction at the close OF
the sales.
over 100000 pounds of tobacco was
sold here today at encouraging price
levels. today's being the largest sale
OF the season. Among the planters
here was G. Il. Smith who lives near
the city, and who has raised this year
$4,000 plants of tobacco He dis
posed of nearly $500 pounds at an
average of $50. He has still fifty
two barns of tobacco to be marketed.
