pep to play the Thanksgiving Sue
Bennett game.
Many of the boarding students
we're disappointed when DR.. Frank
lin announced in chapel the other
morning that no one could go home
for Thanksgiving unless in case
of special emergency. We know they
will be glad they stayed when they
partake of one of Aunt Macs big
Thanksgiving dinners. She has been
getting ready for some time.
Saturday nights games in the new

second basket ball teams played a
ripping good game, the first team
winning by large score as always
seems to be the case.
Mr.. Joe Metcalf played violin
solo in chapel Tuesday morning that

that his stay cannot be longer.

James Berry, like hts SUCCESSOR in
the post Of hangman, thought him
self inadequately paid. In his auto
biography Berry suggests that the
Honse Office should pay the hangman
fixed salary Of $3.50 q year. He
would have much preferred this to
the fee Of 410 for an execution. It
would bring him = larger income.
for he reckoned on an average Of
only twenty executions in = year,
and, moreover, the hangman would
be spared tho dista steful task Of
perusing newspaper reports In the
hope that fellow creature may be
condemned to DEATH Berry points
regretfully to tho remuneration of
his French confrere. M. Antoine

amount to divide among his four as
sistants. Samson. the first execu-
tioner to manage 4 guillotine, WAS
originally paid $3.50 q year, but
when executioners were appointed in
each department. this was reduced to
$500. Before tho Revolution tho To-
gal tariff in France was 25s for a
behcading, los Sd for u burning at

quarter Of . century ago. It was
not a break which promised OF
threatened war, as did the earlier
incident, but it did threaten the
destruction Of the Anglo French
entente, for the world. a circum-
stance only less perilous in 1920 than
an Anglo French war would have
been in 1898.
On the whole, however, while Lloyd
George was supported by Lib
eral and Labor leaders and jour-
nails, British public opinion plainly
reacted against any break with the
French. There was still a profound
conviction that the virtual alliance
must be preserved; there was SYM
pathy with France, even where there
was a conviction that Franco had
acted precipitately and was unduly
alarmed as to the future.
Opposed a French Break
In a word, British opinion did not
seem ready at the time to advocate
or support a break with France
growing out Of q policy mainly de-
termined by the desire to realize
commercial advantages by assisting
in the swift recovery of Germany.
Once more Lloyd George sensed the
drift of sentiment instantly and
accurately. He went to sea in the
midst of the crisis, but he kept in
touch by wireless with the British
public pulse, and his first words on
landing at Marseilles were devoted
to reaffirming the solidarity of the
Anglo French association. More
over, while he was travelling there
came from London to Paris the
cheering announcement that Britain
would take the initiative in advocat-
ing an immediate policy Of coercion
to force Germany to comply with
New-York tribune., 1920-04-25
Unenforced Ultimatums a Peace Conference Special

restoration would have as its imme-
date consequence the vast expan-
sion Of British trade. Thus, once
more, a domestic situation, condi-
tion Of great Importance to his home
political front, led Lloyd George to
a complete change of orientation in
the matter Of foreign policy and into
immediate dispute with France.
A Notice to Lloyd George
Out Of this difference grew the In
cident Of the Ruhr. The action Of
the French in sending their troops
to Frankfort, while a specific warm
ing to the Germans, a deliberate
step to compel compliance with the
letter and spirit Of the Treaty Of
Versailles, was in no less degree
notice to Lloyd George that
France did not purpose to consent
to sacrifices involved in his new
policy OF modifying the treaty in
such fashion as to facilitate German
recovery and increase British trade,
sacrifices which could have no in1me-
diate or eventual reward for the
French and might be fraught with
the gravest dangers.
Lloyd Georges first reaction to
this French challenge was character
istic, for he Is at bottom one Of
the most impulsive of men. Recall
ing the traditions of the British For
eign Office, one can appreciate the
value of an incident in which the
Prime Minister ignores his Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs and through
his own private secretary proceeds
to deliver a vehement scolding of
friendly and, in a sense, allied
nation publicly. We had then the
first open break between Britain
and France Of any real magnitude
since the Fashoda incident, nearly
New-York tribune., 1920-04-25

such sum, which was close to the
total wealth Of the nation. Then
Lloyd George turned to tho Ameri-
can financial delegation, and in sub
stance asked it to assume tho
responsibility for Disappointing his
public. In effect, he said to our
representatives:
my experts have got mo into a
hole by their figures, on which I
have promised to make Germany
pay for the war. You can get me
out Of the hole if you will only
oppose me openly. Then can say
that / failed to keep my promise
only because Of American opposi-
tion."
Presently the British pubic ap-
preciated the fact that Germany
could not pay, that the cost Of the
war would remain saddled upon the
back Of the British taxpayer, and
drifted off to the more rational con-
clusion that, while no indemnity was
possible, there was money to be
made In German trade, II the peace
terms were so modified as to allow
the Germans to achieve restora-
ton Of their economic condition.
And, with accustomed ease, Lloyd
George put himself in the forefront
Of this new movement, exactly as
he had done in the matter of the
$120, 900, 100000 a little more than
year before.
But this new movement depended
for success upon persuading or COM
pelling France, whose claims upon
Germany were immense, whose
future depended upon two things,
German disarmament and German
reparations, to reduce her claims, to
set them aside, to consent to such
notifications as would facilitate
German economic restoration. Such

AN UNUSUALLY weird topic
came up for debate the other
day in the House Of Commons, when
the fees Of hangmen were discussed
by the honorable members. This
occasion inspired a correspondent
of "The Manchester Guardian" to
send in the following contribution
touching upon the history of that
sinister trade:
"Hangmen have always been re-
garded as dreadful persons in Eng
land, though not without a certain
gruesome attraction, especially to
curious people Of moro or less dis
eased imaginations. But they have
requited this interest in different
ways. Marwood. for instance, was
great frequenter Of the Green
Dragon in Fleet Street after carry
ing out his duties at Newgate in the
morning, and che retiring little
man, dressed IN tho most 1unereal Of
clothsss clutching . pint pot with his
long and nervous fingers, could some
times be drawn out for a considera-
tlon by tho young bloods who know
his Avorite haunt and resorted
thithcr.' Very different was tho fate
Of those who tried to draw Calcraft
whom In retirement no visited the
Peacock at Islington. 1t was his
rule thst no reference 60 the subject
Of his profsssion must bs made in
his hearing. He looked like IAN old
alderman.' and his real identity was
