French Political Writer Presents In
terestins Review Of international
Situation Caused by President
Wilson's Interference With Plans
of Settlement OF Probtems-Soft
Words Fail to MolIify Wilson.

Paris, Feb. 21.-John w. Davis
American ambassador to Great Brit
ain spoke in London last night of
certain instructions" he had re-
ceived from President Wilson. altho
the presidents reply to the allied
council has not arrived in London,
says "Pertinaux." political editor of
the Ecnc de Paris.
IN order to properly follow the
course of events" he writes, 'it
should be said that the note received
by the council from President Wilson
on Feb. 13 was in answer to state
ment sent to the state department in
Washington on Feb. 13 by Earl Cur
zon, British secretary Of state for
foreign affairs"
Hugh c. Wallace, American am
bassador to France, attended meet
ings of the supreme council In this
city last month and In the name of
his government expressed formal re-
servation to the demand sent to Bel
grade on Jan. 20. On that occasion
speaking as much in regard to Tur-
key as to Jugo- Slavia, he said: "You
are going much too far and much TOO
fast. President Wilson cannot fol-
low you."
Soft Words Fail Of Purpose
Earl Curzon then drafted his note,
which was intended to calm Mr.. VIII
sons anxiety, assuring him that
greatest Difference would be shown
his views and that Ambassador Wal
lace would be kept informed. APP
parently after three weeks Of patient
waiting these soft words would not
be enough. It can thus be seen the
note of Feb. 1S was not a bolt from
the blue sky
also throw light on Mr.. Wilson's prob
able policy relative to Turkey. In
October the American president for
mally asked the conference to post
pone drafting the Turkish treaty
until spring. He hoped II congress
agreed to his demand to be able to
join In the task. Rapid developments
in the near eastern situation prevent
ed compliance with his wishes. It by
no means follows, therefore, that Mr..
Wilson will ratify all that has been
done without him. In one Of the last
meetings Of the supreme council 1t
was decided that before the treaty
be submitted to our great associate"
be admitted to our grand associate
what will he do? In whatever
way one looks at 1t the work done in
Downing street seems more or less
threatened, as q word from across
the Atlantic may reduce to nothing
the important conversations that have
been going on. The arrival Of Pre-
mier Millerand in London his week
will be of great Importance"

AN OLD PROFESSION

BARRIERS, speaking generally, may
not know it and the most of them
would not care if they did know it,
were regarded five or six hundred
years ago as belonging to profess
sion "conjoined," as one authority
has it, with the art of surgery" I"
In the reign of that godly man,
Henry VIII, of blessed memory,
"they were united with the company
of surgeons, it being enacted that
the BARRIERS should confine them
selves to the minor operations of
blood letting and drawing teeth,
while the surgeons were prohibited
from "barbery or shaving"
It is added: "The BARRIERS shop

sons; and, in addition to its attrac-

JOSEF HOFMANN'S
First Appearance Since European
Triumphs in Augusta, January
The 9Th.

Reports of Josef Hofmann's strik-
ing concert successes in England
continue to reach US. The great pian-
ist has been abroad since October,
his first visit to England in sixteen
years, by the way. The Daily News Of
London remarked after his first reci-
tai, that he has "what looked like the
most knowledgeable audience drawn
to piano concert for long time"
According to the reviewer, the audi
ence "began by being cool, but at
the end of the program they were
shouting like any football crowd and
made him play six or seven encores."
The Daily Mail (London) of Octo-
Der 28th remarks: "Last night Mr..
Hofmann's playing brought about
one of those "scenes" that definitely
set seal of London approval. He has
the ear of our public for his life's
remainder. Ninety per cent of the
audience probably were pianists Of
sorts. They gave the judgment of peo-
pie who know. He has the infallibili-
ty of a musical Frankenstein; he
shows US sheer perfection of finger
ability. His cantabile is exquisite,
his rhythm and life-save that it can
not err"
Mr.. Holman, at the completion Of
a score of recitals on the other side,
will return for another American tour
which opens in January. His engage
ments include many appearances on
the Pacific coast during February.
His appearance in Augusta under the
auspices of the Woman's Club Thurs
day evening, January 9Th, at $50
o'clock, is made possible by the cur
tailment of his vacation period Prior
to his regular concert season.
Careful attention will be given
out of town orders for seat reserva-
tions. ~

BOBBED HAIR.
(By Jack Bradley.)


What will they do next? Girls have
pulled out their eyebrows, cut of
their dresses, changed their stockings
into half hose, and now as there is
nothing else to excommunicate, they
cut off their hair. When the girl from
Chicago came to see Mr.. Austin
Roche this summer she brought this
awful style along with her. Now half
the fairer sex of Abbeville have cut
off their only chance to acquire
beauty. AS I am a male I do not see
their object, but l suppose they think
if they should vote like a man, they
must look like a man also.
Christmas eve hight Santa Claus
gave a most peculiar gift to Miss
Ada Faulkner and Miss Mary Louise
Dargan who is visiting friends in the
city. Elizabeth Gambrell, who is the
barber of Randolf-Macon, acted as
Santa Claus. While Mrs. Faulkner
was out visiting across the street
Elizabeth bobbed the hair of Ada
and Mary Louise. And as there was
plenty of room for Improvement,
their bobbed hair has helped out very
much. Elizabeth Gambrell had cut
eleven heads of hair already and she
made very neat job of it. When she
finished, she remarked that she would
probably cut thirteen more before
leaving Abbeville, but that she would
never ruin" her own.
Christmas morning Emmie Haig-
ler bobbed her hair with the eXcla-
nation, "they can't get ahead of
me-" But when Ada saw her the next
morning she told her that she was
twelve hours behind time. Santa had
visited Vienna street before reaching
North Main.

STRONG" LANGUAGE

Sam Wakefield is one of the fore
most citizens of Abbeville County and
halls from "the Nation" as it was
called, where the Honorable Profess
sor John G. Clinkscales of Wofford
College got his start in life, and like
all the people from that region uses
strong language on occasion. The
other day he was down at the Court
House looking around and dropped in
at the office of The Press and Banner
to express his opinion, of certain out
givings of that organ of sanity. He
allowed" that the P. and B. chad

ago he had ever read, except he
didn't say biggest eve asked
him." says The P. and B. 'to what
editorial he referred (Which was a
plea in confession and avoidance, it
might be called, had he possessed the
mental acumen to discover it) when
he replied: Why, hell, that editorial

Clinkscales will recognize "the Ian
guage of the tribe" at once and that
it has ost nothing of it's pristine force

WEDNESDAY, DEC. 2s, 1920
soJoURNING IN SPARTANBURG

Major and Mrs. J. c. Hemphlll' OF
Abbeville, who are sojourning for
season in Spartanburg, spent Sunday
and Monday in Greenwood with Mr..
and Mrs. James C. Hemphil. People
staying for awhile in Spartanburg
like to get to a big town like Green
wood occasionally and the Major en-
joyed seeing the sights.
Being born and bred" in Abbevlile
the Major wanted to talk mostly OF
.Abbeville people. He asked all ABOUT
the town of a Press and Banner re-
porter for whom he sent in order to
get up-to-date information. He par
ticularly wanted to know whether we
were still serving "a salad course"
at the parties and if all such "cour-
ses" were delicious" He wanted too
to know whether Pat Roche had ever
learned to play setback, and how
much forty cents cotton Uncle jim
Stark has saved up. He inquired whe-
ther any rich man around Abbeville
had endowed the ho"pital and wheth-
er Sam Wakefield had begun to buy
anything yet.
He also wanted to know whether
any of the young girls around town
were beginning to show their ears
and whether or not the town looked
better with the street paving.
The Major inquired also after the
aristocrats on Greenville street stat
ing that he lived on a street in Spar
tanburg where there was something
always going on, the recent happen
ing being two first class homicides
and woman giving birth to baby
something that is getting to be a
lost art on aristocratic street he said.
The Major was the Christmas
guest Of Col. Foster McKissick, of
Greenville, where he says he saw
a quart of actual genuine whiskey
stored at a constitutional pediod
and forty pound turkey.

CUBA WILL EMERGE
FROM DIFFICULTIES
Minister to United States Thinks
Country Will Be On Sounder

Washington, Dec. 28.-The belief
that Cuba, with the friendly assist
ance of the United States, will
emerge from her present economic
difficulties on sounder basis was
expressed in a statement issued to-
night by DR.. Carlos Manuel de Ces-
pedes, Cuban minister to the United
States. The minister characterized
reports of sentiment in Cuba favor
ing intervention by the United Stat
es as "absurd and nonseasicaF and
as not meriting consideration.
"The present economic situation
though serious is by no means des-
perate," the minister said.
"The Cuban congress is now about
to convene in order to provide neces-
sary legislation to meet the final diff
fculties. The political difficulties
will be patriotically solved in Cuba
and by Cubans themselves, l earnest
ly hope and believe.
"Claims brought by both political
parties are now being passed upon
by the judiciary and whatever the
courts of Cuba decide will surely be
patriotically accepted by all con-
cerned."

CHRISTMAS TREE

Mrs. John T. and Mrs. ]. l.. Evans
gave a Christmas tree Saturday af-
ternoon to their little nieces and
nephews and about 20 little friends
on Church and Main Streets. The
tree was beautifully decorated and
each little child was given a toy and
three bags of red, white and blue
tissue paper containing candies,
nuts and fruit. They played games
and each little child went home
feeling that Mesdames Evans were
charming Santa Claus.

was always kept for the entertain
ment of waiting customers" It can
be testified that the BARRIERS in such
towns as Greenville are still con-
spicuously gifted in minor opera
tions of blood-letting," but, general
ly, they have been driven out of the
business. of drawing teeth. The
point that should be emphasized is
that as they were once entitled to
rank professionally with the sur
geons they should hold themselves
entitled to as much consideration
now as other professional men
they certainly look and dress as well
as any of the\ professional class.
AS for the barber shop being a
resort of idle persons, it is keeping
up it's ancient distinction. We have
all seen persons of this description
enjoying the hospitality of these
institutions, and it is not to be re-
GREETED, generally speaking, as the
intelligent hearer can learn much
from the conversation of the SUR
geon operating on him and from the
topics of conversation in which the
plain people sitting around are in
terested. Fortunately, as they would
interfere with the flow of thought,
the lutte and viol have been scrapped
in most barber shops; but the bar
bers and "idle persons" are left. AS
a rule, BARRIERS of the better sort
are philosophers. It does not matter
what the subject, they can discuss it
If anything has happened in the
community they have heard about it
and know the facts. They can talk
with the utmost assurance on points
of theology, and with equal enthusi-
asm about the touchdowns in foot
ball or the bogies in golf. They do
not agree among themselves on
questions of finance and political
economy.
Yesterday there was quite an ami
mated discussion between two of
these professionals on the subject OF
the present financial depression, its
causes, and it, course. One of the
debating BARRIERS, an optimist of the
"get-rich-quick- Walingford" type in
sisted that there was nothing in it,
that it would all pass more quickly
than it came and that we should all
have more money than ever. The
other barber, who was not a pessi-
mist but just a plain, commonsense
individual, was not impressed with
the hopeful spelling Of the governor
of the next chair, closed the argu-
ment: "Ah, shut up; you don't know
what you're talking about. You.
have seen more money than you
will ever see again as long as you
live. Money is worth something
now. That's the reason it is worth
having and worth saving."-Spar-
tanburg Journal.
