Foreign Minister Simons in a speech

The foreign minister asked the rea-

new strategic Rhine bridges had been
prepared and why Belgian troops

have been stationed in tactical posi-

He declared that these features OF
the situation gave the impression that
territory along the Rhine was being

mostly to the southwest quarter. No
measurable precipitation was reported
from the north half of the state.
Wheat is generally reported as good

southwest, where it still shows the eff
feet of dry weather that prevailed
early in the fall. Late wheat, espe-

condition, with plenty of moisture in
the ground to keep it in good shape
for long time.
The week in many parts of the state

as the ground was too wet to get

"HER UNBORN CHILD"
TENSE AND GRIPPING

The Lafayette Players opened their
farewell week at the Avenue Theatre
Monday night with the sensational
drama, Her Unborn Child" present.
ing one OF the most pertinent prob
lens and evils of the day The pro-
duction is tense and gripping through
out, but is we'll tempered by a strain
OF farce running through the whole
story. The offering ends with an anti
climax when the. curtain falls on the
inquisitive brat being whipped on
its mothers lap.
Her Unborn Child" is the story OF
a twentieth century mother who still
clings to nineteenth century ideas OF
what children should know about
themselves. Her daughter falls in
love with the nephew OF a wealthy
social reformer, and as result OF the
sins OF omission on the part OF the
mother is about to become a mother
herself. Her lovers "aunt" has
learned OF her predicament. and being
an apostle OF birth control offers to
give the girl medical aid which will
prevent her disgrace from being made
known. In the physicians office it is
learned that the wealthy "rcformcr"
is really the mother OF her nephew"
and that her agitation for birth con
troll is merely a salvc for her own
conscience, covering up the skeleton
OF so many years, which has suddenly
fallen from its cloest.
The tense moment comes in the
home of the girl, where her sweet
heart, having been disowned by his
mother, there confrohts and rcpudi-
ates her before the wronged girl and
her mother The final act in the Ken
nedy home is really eloquent, and
stands ont as a fine example of the
dramatic art in an otherwise mediocre
evening

Another mistake in which the majority oil
people indulge is the idea that the accom-
1anist must subordinate his personality to
hat OF the artist he is accompanying. That
dea is entirely wrong. The pianist is indeed
)ne member OF what may be regarded as a
duet. What is really most necessary is that
he accompanist shall quickly perceive the

musical critics appear to feel that he is re

able to moduate himself in the ear

nate the overgrown boy, but in the
final act rises to truly eloquent

usual. We hope, however, that when
Criner appears again with the Lafay-
cite Players, he will have relieved
himself OF a certain amount OF unnec-
essary brusqueness that he has. He
also speaks with not quite enough
deliberation at times when it could
be effective. Criner, however, is a
valuable asset to the Lafayette Play

OF the show, is good so is Rosa Ty-
