the description of the manner in which
Gino attended to his small baby.
"'Wake up!' he cried to his baby, as
if it were some g>own-up friend. Then
he lifted his, foot and trod lightly on
its stomach" And ag- n we felt for
Gino when he complained to his English
visitor:
"What is to be done? T cannot afford
nurse, and Perfetta is too rough.
When he was ill / dare not let her
touch him. When he has to be washed,
which happens now and then, who does
it? I. 1 feed him, or settle what he
shall have. I sleep with him and COM
fort him when he is unhappy in the
night. No one talks, no one may sing
to him but l. Do not be unfair this
time; like to do these things. But
nevertheless (his voice became pathetic)
they take up a great deal of time, and
are not at all suitable for a young
man."
There is also a gorgeous chapter
about performance of Lucia" in a.
small Italian town, during which fam
lilies greeted each other across the au-
ditorium and shouted encouragement
to the singers until the English visi-
tor had grasped "the principle Of opera
in 1taly-it aims not at illusion, but
at entertainment"
1T was in this same opera house that
There was also a drop scene, repre-
senting pink and purple landscape,
wherein sported many a lady lightly
clad, and two more ladies lay along
the top of the proscenium to steady 8

appalling was the effect that Philip
could scarcely suppress a cry. There
Is something majestic in the bad taste
OF Italy; it ia not the bad taste of a
country which knows no better; it has
not the nervous vulgarity of England,
or the blinded vulgarity of Germany.
1t observes beauty and chooses to pass
it by. But it attains to beauty's conf
dence. This tiny theater of Monteriano
spraddled and staggered with the best
OF them, and these young ladies with
their clock would have nodded to the
young men on the ceiling Of the
Sistine."
The attempt Of the police of New
York to suppress "The Story of a
Lover" would leave US cold if there
were nothing more than the merits Of
the book in question. Although it is
an honest effort, it seems to us to have
little distinction, but the thought of a
ponce censorship Of fiction opens up
horrid possibilities. We wonder why
authors are so patient under the con-
dition. There ought to be an authors
league, or some such organization, in
which the writing men of America could
loin hands to protest against a condi-
zion which may very well throttle good

The French Decision
Bp Frank II. Sir1onds


The latest events in the French
Chamber Of Deputies must be under
stood by all Americans who desire to
keep abreast Of foreign affairs. The
French Parliament has, by an over
whelming majority, Endorsed policy
which means an end Of the effort on
the part Of the French nation to &C
cotnmodate it's necessities to the poll
cies and purposes Of its recent allies.
France, after long experiments with a
dissolving alliance, has determined
henceforth to resume freedom OF ac-
tion.
america Out
This French decision is predicated
upon a state Of facts which is unr1ls-
taxable. The United States has retired
from Europe and the Treaty Of Yer
sailles has been rejected by the United
States Senate. America is thus no
longer in any sense a partner in the
enforcement of the treaty. Great Brit
ain, through Lloyd George, has been
persuaded Of the need of a modification
of the economic terms Of the treaty, a
modification which may benefit the
British, but can only harm the French
Italy has thrown her lot with the Brit
ish for the sole purpose Of crippling
French policy.
In this situation France has no other
choice but to look out for her own in
terests. Despite the treaty agree
ments the Germans have failed to fur
nish France with coal, essential to
French economic recovery. They have
cvadcd practically every one of the
provisions Of the peace pact, notably
those which regulate the disarming OF
the nation. Almost a year after the
signing of the treaty Germany has
hundreds of thousands Of men under
arms and has not the smallest inten-
tion of complying with the promise
made in the treaty.
Frances Duty
For the French the duty is, there
fore, unmistakable. 1t is for them
single handed, to undertake to obtain
that reparation and that victory. For
tunately for France, she has the neces-
sary machinery. Her army is incom-
parably superior to any available Ger
man forces, not so much in numbers
as In resources and in organization
The industrial and transport crisis in
Germany has abolished all chance of
the concentration and operation of an
army such as existed before or during
the war.
If the French actually determine to
use force to carry out the treaty pro-
visions, to enforce performance Of
agreements by the Germans, then Ger
man resistance will be hopeless. And
the French mean to enforce the treaty
provisions. The whole nation is aroused
at what it conceves to be the combina-
tion of German purpose to evade the
treaty with British policy to seek the
softening Of the terms themselves
! We are seeing the final breakdown
Of the alliance against Germany. What
is to come in the long future is beyond
all reach of prophecy, but in the i'm
mediate future we are bound to see
energetic and effective French action
designed to end the period of defiance
in Germany, so far as compliance with
the peace terms is concerned. In re-
cent weeks French officers have been
murdered, French civilians insulted and
maltreated, the supplies of coal prom

The Latest In Irredentism

Trouble Is brewing in the extreme
northwest Of Europe. After living
contentedly from time immemorial
under the flag Of Denmark the in
habitants Of the Farce group Of
islets-that bleak archipelago stu
ated due north Of the Shetland
Islands-have caught the fever Of
elf-determination, and attract at
tention in the Scandinavian press
by throwing their hats Tor do they
wear olskin caps?) into the great
New-York tribune., 1920-03-31


and the final defiance is contained in
the increase, not the reduction, Of Ger
man military forces.
Now at last, despairing Of all Allied
help, possessing q strong and united
majority in the Chamber, majority
which approximates unanimity; for
tunate, too, in having strong man as
Prime Minister in the crisis, France
purposes to act. Failure to act would
bring down the Millerand government
in AN hour--its latest colossal major
ity was due solely to the promises
which it made. Moreover, the only ef-
fective opposition is the opposition
headed by the former Prime Minister,
BRAND, which seeks to take Office on
the pledge to enforce the treaty
strictly.
President Wilson's Insult
The break between British and
French policy will now come into the
open, unless, executing one of his IA
miliar somersaults, Lloyd George
ranges himself with France again. In
any event, France has reached the limit
of concessions in the interest of har-
mony. The next yielding will have to
be British. After ALL. France has so
far been made to pay the costs both of
the war and Of the peace to wholly
disproportionate degree, and the whole
French people are weary Of this policy
on the part of those whom they long
regarded as allies, but now conceive to
be rivals, taking advantage Of French
credulity and good faith.
What has happened in France now is
in some slight degree due to the insult
which President Wilson leveled at the
French nation the other day. when he
alleged that the militaristic element
had come into control. This served to
crystallize French sentiment to an
amazing degree. France has been the
first of the European nations to regain
political equilibrium after the war.
The most conservative of all nations
by reason of the fact that her politics
are dominated by her peasant proprie-
tors, she has escaped the menace of
Bolshevism and extreme radicalism
which remains so dangerous for Italy.
She also is beginning to recover her
balance and her confidence, temporarily
shaken by the terrible loss in blood
and treasure in the World War. A
clear vision and a new strength are
discernible in recent French events,
and together these give vitality to a
new French policy.
The Friends of France
Convinced of her present needs,
aware of the strength which remains
in her hands, perceiving that she has
nothing more to expect from her recent
allies, France now proposes to harvest
the fruit of her victories and to obtain
so far as it is possible that security
7 and reparation which alone can save
the victory of 1918 and alone can pre-
vent the war from being for her only
a sterile bleeding. French policy will
now and instantly be subjected to criti-
cism in Italy, Great Britain and in GER
tain quarters in the United States. but
the friends of France throughout the
world will perceive in it the spirit
which saved the world and France at
the Marne in 1914 and on many other
occasions in French history.

Dear Sir: 1t would be futile to At
tempt to answer your letter in detail
The whole civilized world has passed
its judgment upon you and your coun-
try-not the hasty judgment Of fieetins
passion, but cold, dispassionate analytl'
cal judgment. Inexorable and irrev-
ocable is this verdict casting you out
side of the pale of all respected
peoples.
No self-respecting, God-fearing Amer
lean would to-day accept the bloody
hand of an unregenerated German IN
good fellowship. This is but the echo
of the spirit which now permeates the
worldwide human breast.
Whatever may be done for your
country will not be done from any de-
mand or any sense Of justice. bus
purely from q sense Of charity for the
benefit of the whole world at large.
The only ones duped in these horrors
are those who, like yourself, for so
many years have been the obedien'
slaves of a fiend incarnate, who dii
not think for themselves, but acted as
ordained by the "Madman Of Berlin,
receiving rewards for their hellish aess
according to his decree.
The sooner you and your peopie
realize these views the better for you
and the better for your country, ana
the sooner and more substantial the
assistance.
I trust you will now recognize tns
finality of this correspondence, At least
until the dawn of the day Of regeners-
tion, which must surely come.

Of which alone brought about tho
quick foundering. Yet, in spite Of the
official warning of the German Am
bassador, the English allowed women

and honorable act, not to speak Of the
violation Of international law.
Did you ever read Jack Londons
book, Burning Daylight? If not,
advise you strongly to read ii, espe.

writes about the working of press
calumny. Further, refer to the book
of Mr.. Hanotaux, the former French
Minister of the Interior, surely not Q
German sympathizer He states that
before the First Battle Of the Marne
the French were willing to give up, and
that the English threatened IA that
case to blockade their coast, while
three American gentlemen, among
them the American Ambassador in
Paris, came to him and assured him
that, given about a year and half
time, they would surely succeed in get
ting the majority of the American pub
lie around to their view of thinking.
That they we're at present only some
$4,000 strong, that they had, however,
unlimited means behind them and
would gain their end; i. e., war Of the
United States against Germany. That
was in August, 1914!
You quote Mr.. Choate. Rather than
take this "Englishman's" word, wish
to quote the words of a really great
and true American, Abraham Lincoln:
"You can fool all the people some time,
you can fool some people all the time.
but you cannot fool all the people oil
the time"
l have never mixed politics with my
personal feelings, and can only hope
that time will bring about revision
of your present extreme views, 50 that
some day we can renew our former
pleasant connection.

Asking In chrlst's Name.

Another peak which attracts our at.
tention is that Of the believers prayer
life. In the teaching on prayer. words
that challenge and stir can be found
in this transcendent message: what.
soever ye shall ask 10 my name. that
will I do, that the Father may be glo.
rified in the Son. II ye shall ask any
thing in my name, ! will do It." In
the Old Testament teaching on prayer
the idea of Righteousness is prevalent
as a basis for petition. In the synop-
tic Gospels the emphasis Is placed on
faith or belief, but here an additional
element enters in-"in my name."
The believer has taken on him the
name Of Christ, and as woman. who
in marriage has taken a mans name,
proceeds to do business In that name,
30 may we do business IN the name Of
our Lord. A very large and real part
Of that business Is to pray in that
name. There is virtue and value In
that name. "FlItherto have ye asked
nothing In my name; ask, and ye shall
receive. that your Joy may be full"
