valided old sea captain, harried, as he
thinks, by daughter who, like the
wren, is "quiet, little and bossy." Miss
Hayes plays the wren. Others in the
cast are Leslie Howard, John Flood,
Sam Reed, Marion Abbott and Pauline
Armitage.
The other Harrington play that is
promised is Bristol Glass" Mr.. Tyler
will produce that, too. Gregory Kelly
and his wife, Ruth Gordon, will play the
leading parts. The scenes of this piece
are laid somewhere in New England and
the story has to do with family pride,
and is, as might be expected, bit sa-
tirical-more than just bit, perhaps.
The play was written for Mr.. Kelly and
Miss Gordon, both of whom have al
ready played in two of Tarkington's
plays, Seventeen" and clarence"
No date has yet been set for the pro-
ducton Of this piece--in fact, so far
as known. no preparations have yet
been made for its presentation. But
it is promised some time this autumn.
jacques Gordon, who has been con-
certmas5er OF the Capitol Grand Or
chestra for the last year, has been
chosen by Frederick Stock, conductor
Of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra,
to fill the same position with the west
EN- organization for the coming sea-
son. Mr.. Gordon began his musical
studies in Russia under Franz Stupa,
continuing them here at the Institute
of Musical Art, under Franz Kneisel.
For three years he was q member of
the Berkshire String Quartetts, and
also appeared in chamber concerts with
Bauer and Moiseiwitz. Mr.. Gordon
will appear as soloist at the Capitol
Theater next week, which is his last
in New York before assuming his new
post in Chicago.

It's Moving Time in the Skies;
Venus Sparkles, Euen During Day

The bright winter consultations
and the milky way" which have been
parallel to each other in the evening
heavens during the winter months,
are swinging around. pivoting at the
north end of the heavens and have
nearly assumed their spring positions
parallel to the western horizon-from
CasScopeia in the north. through Per-
Seus in the northwest, Taurus in the
west and Orion little to the south
Of Cercis Cis Major in the southwest.
Venus is now the most brilliant of
all the planets, and, as an evening
star. is moving toward the sun. The
phase of this beautiful orb in the west
becomes more and more crescent and
it's apparent diameter increases from
800 to 4S". On March 16. at about
half the interval from its greatest
this planet attains it's maximum brill
liancy of magnitude, or about 100
times that of Sirius.
Venus Always Surprising.
The brightness Of Venus in the
daytime is always surprising to those
who will take the trouble to see it at
this season of the year.
One should look south and high up,
about 200 from the zenith of the
heavens. The crescent moon and
Venus, less than g. apart. will make a
beautiful celestial picture for star
gaZers for several evenings.
The giant planet Jupiter retrogradeS
during the present month from 15o to
12' east of Regulus and will be at it's
maximum brilliancy.
Saturn, one of the three most in

the equator, is a few degrees to the
east of Jupiter, but much fainter. 1t

INVASION OF GERMANY STYLED
I BREACH OF VERSAILLES TREATY
,Arthur Henderson Declares That the
! Course Adopted by the Allies Is Dan
gerous, and Advises Reconsideration.

France and Britain are already seri-
ously affected by the importation into
France of indemnity coal. France
has more coal than she herself can
consume. and is exporting to Italy
and elsewhere. Many of her miners
are idle, and the consequent loss of
foreign markets to Britain has re-
suited in serious unemployment
among the miners of South Wales.
After suffering heavy defeat in at
least three by-elections. one of which
involved a cabinet minister, the Brit
to the unemployment problem In
attempting to redeem his promise to
make Germany pay to the uttermost
farthing, the prime minister, Mr..
Lloyd George. will need to exercise
a Celtic imagination to invent some
process whereby the importation of
indemnity goods will not bring in
creased unemployment to British
workers.
Constructive Stntesmanship Needed.
Germany should make good the
practical destruction she has wrought.
She has not only legal but a moral
responsibility to make good. For the
aIIles. however, to impose conditions
OF virtual slavery upon present and
future generations of Germans by
means of ill-considered measures

sooner or later. to reduce the allied
peoples to lower standard of life
because of the disregard of the laws
of production and distribution. The

Ambassador Davis Praised.
The departure from London of for
mer Ambassador Davis of the United
states is cause for deep regret among
all Britons. who are sincerely con-
cerned in the maintenance and pro-
motion of real friendship between
the American republic and Great
Britain. Whatever politics Mr.. Da-
Wis may hold in America. he was. in

LONDON, March 14.-The break
down of the London conference be-
tween the allies and Germany and the
invasion of Germany by allied troops
are the weeks ominous events in the
European situation.
The occupation of German towns is
IN act Of violence. purely and simply
to enforce not the Versailles treaty,
but the agreement made by the al
lies themselves at Paris. and the ac-
tion taken does not carry the sane
tfon of the peace treaty. Indeed there
Is good ground for regarding it as
q breach of the terms of the treaty,
and the precipitate move of the al
lies shows that the principle of force
again is governing the allied policy
to Germany.
The course on which the allies have
embarked is dangerous and uncertain.
for no one can predict where it
eventually may lead or the serious
consequences it may involve. But the
allies have reSorted to tactics which
are not provided for in the treaty.
and, as DR.. Simons contended any
policy failing to attain their purpose
must call for new action. 1t may not
yet be too late to retrieve the situa-
tion. and the wise course will be for
the allies to restore the issue to the
domain of discussion and ngotiation.
This must be done either through the
league of nations. or. if it's services
be preferred, by accepting ele disin-
terested aid of the American govern
ment, which. as an associate nation
during the war. might properly sug-
gest the appointment of an impartial
international tribunal of experts to
investigate the central problem of
Germany's capacity to pay.
Dilemma Of the Allies.
The allies are on the horns of a
dilemma. They must not only ascer-
tain Germany's capacity to pay, but
also determine such method of pay
ment as will be least prejudicia! to
their own national. industrial and
trading interests and least harmful
: to their own labor market. Both

sion. A true American, he held pro-
found belief in the formidable power
for peace and enlightened progress
efforts directed toward bringing the
two peoples closer together.
The world still is a victim of war
ring passions and conflicting aims.
and rupture between the American
and the British peoples would infiict
tive of party, which aim to establish
a peaceful, happy and contented
world. Mr.. Davis was a keen SYM
pathizer with the traditional policy
of friendship between the two coun-
tries and during his tenure of office
he made valuable and considerable
contributions to the cause of friendly
understanding. His successor is as
sured of a very cordial welcome by
the British people. Anglo-American
friendship is not the plaything of
parties, but is regarded as vital
necessity and essential to the corner
stone of any edifice of world peace.
Policy Toward Ireland Mny Change.
The situation in Ireland does not
improve, nor is it likely that the open
ing of the Ulster parliament in June
will sensibly affect the disturbed con-
ditions in the south of Ireland. The
Sim Fein may not allow the election
for the Ulster parliament to go by
default They probably will begin
persistent propaganda in the six
counties with the object of securing
ultimately the control of the legis-
lature and to bring fusion in the
national parliament.
But regarding the rest of Ireland
it is doubtful whether the new par
Lament in Dublin will come into ex-
istence as is provided in the govern-
ment of Ireland act. Presumably tho
situation will not be bettered until
the present Irish secretary is sue
ceeded by man of fine-grained
character. possessing confidence in
the Irish people and prepared to meet
them in a spirit of Cancellation ana
sympathy. The government policy
in Ireland has an important bearing
on the recent coalition election de-
feat and it is not improbable that the
present chief secretary for Ireland
will be continued in that office after
the opening of the Ulster parliament
In view of the likelihood of a gen.
eral election in coming months a
gradual orientation of the govern
ment policy toward Ireland may oc-
cur. particularly because the prime
minister would not be likely to go to
the voters saddled with the disastrous
results of an extremely unpopular
Irish policy. He would first try to
restore the prestige of the govern
ment by an eleventh-hour effort to
reverse the present course in favor
of a policy of conciliation and ap-
peasement.
