"After all, the country paper in

"These country papers must be

Dramatist Says Don t

BY Eugent Brieux

PARIS.-My confidence in the un-
Outstanding between France and the
United States remains unchanged.
Even If the Misunderstanding be-
tween the two nations were much
deeper and more serious than at
present, my faith would remain un-
shaken. For the sentiments and the
interests of the two peoples make
lasting friendship inevitable.
From November, 1914, to April,
1915, l toured the United States lee
turing almost every evening in q
different town. Before I left I had
been given the most careful instruc-
lions to avoid the appearance OF
propaganda. For this reason tried
to confine myself to speaking about
our much maligned French women,
whose merits were not sufficiently
appreciated in the United States.
But events broke in rapidly on
these six months - the German
atrocities, French resistance, the
battle of ideas at stake-and gradu-
ally as the facts of the war came out
the heart of the people began to
throb more quickly and soon I found
it was impossible for me not to step
beyond my prescribed subject. "Tell
us about France" my audiences
cried. And did not need much urg-

Mr.. Wilson. Yet the chamber rati-
fed the treaty! Couldn't your senate
have done the same? -.
The other French grievance? LIT
describe 1t by an anecdote.
A man was once set upon by
band of ruffians, who wounded him
seriously. A friend went to his aid,
and after having put the band to
fight, thought that he had done
enough. He left the victim prone
upon the ground, exhausted, blood
pouring from his wounds, returned
to his home, washed his hands and
went about his business.

us. Neither with you.

has a role in this new play which pre-

The Perfect Lover roles por-
trayed by this star not only won him
great credit and high praise, but they
stamped him the indisputable matinee
