and the labor party lined up in sup
port of it, England is watching
with tremendous interest the new
element of the labor party. which
has never worked with its hands,

The coal crisis is the first to face
the party since it admitted the
brain worker as well as the man

eral months ago.
The introduction of this new ele-
ment provided the laborites with
the necessary mental elements to
fight the stalled parliamentaries be-

been powcrIess in debate.

Berlin, Aug. a9.-The Breslau in
oident, which has involved anew the
German government in difficulties
with the entente, may be the after
math Of last weeks troubles in
Upper Silesia. In the ensemble they
are a repercussion of a national
state of feverishness which has
manifested itself continually in the
last few months in local convul-
sions Almost everywhere in Ger
many.
These arc merely the first signs
of a greater revolution which is
coming" is the kind of answer
which officials invariably make to
any request for an explanation of
events. What happened in Katie
wit, Breslau. the Saar Valley and
even Danzig is likely to happen in
Berlin.
Revelation Feared.
The government issued an order
yesteray that military detachments
marching through the streets of the
capital, especially in Inter Den
Linden. refrain from letting their
bands play.
The whole trouble instead OF
being put up to the population Of
the district where outbreaks OC-
CURED is now simply charged to the
government. 1t has been unable to
check the nationalist agitation
against the entente on the one
hand and the Communist activities
against the Polish elements on the
other.
Propaganda Unchecked.
Exhortations for the blOCkading
Of Poland have appeared in the
Red Flag" and the Call to Arms

launched by the radicals. The de-
ve4opment of the secret military or
ganization is continuing unabated.
The absence of interference has
been mistaken for official approval
and the chaos goes merrily on.
Public attention is being focused
on events in DanziE, but here too
the helplessness of Germany is
strikingly Illustrated. The papers
are mute on the subject. The Eov-
eminent has an opinion but cannot
express it because it is neutral. 90
and leading Germans say it does
not do Germany any good to have

men.
Senator, this is just the members
OF the press who wish to congratulate
you.s or course they do not expect

got of the elevator.

hedging or deceiving the boys. I want

Then some one suggested that they
form a line, which they did. and
Harding shook hands and had a greet

members OF the press.
Everybody might as well know
from the start that I am going to play
square game and not dodge any

"Mere Movements" Is Criticism
of Russian Dancer-lack

LONDON, June 13.-Mme. PavlovA,
the great Russian dancer, does not
sec anything interesting in the mod

In an interview, recently printed
here. she says of modern dancing
that 1t is mere movement for personal
pleasure, but lacks the grace of the
real dance
When I was in America they ask
me what I think OF the tango, the
jazz, and the other--what they call
dances. How could I say?' said Paw

personal amusement-but not what to
us is the dance. To me IL is not grace

There is no space. On the stage,
danced by artists-as a tour. as an
exposition framed. too. in space, 1t is
quite another thing. But what suits
tho stage does not suit the ballroom;
all is different-the whole atmos-
phere.
Such dances, in a crowded room,
no air. very often 'unbeautiful dancers
all intent on personal sensation-
oh! Then. too. with us the dance is an
ideal; It is not for personal pleasure :;
an artist rarely can satisfy her own
standard. Woman, too, on the stage

cious-yos. even in passion dance

She rippled into a light peal of
