Curtain!

The happy playwright, when he
gets his characters suitably married
or slaughtered or otherwise disposed
of, simply writes "Curtain" and calls
it days work. That is the end of
that. If it is a good play the audi
ence may wish there were more. But,
much more important, the worst play
in the world ends in the same fashion,
and thereafter can bore that particu-
lar houseful no more.
Would that life were constructed
upon any such convenient system
Unfortunately, it's playwright cares
nothing at all fer dramatic effect.
He is utterly careless OF whether the
audiences are bored or not. Almost
nothing happens with due regard to
the effect upon the onlookers. Its
tragedies wander on Unfortunately as
rule, or end abruptly in the second
act, just as you have got excited and
want to see the thing played out to
the end. And, worst of all, there is
no curtain.
Almost any one Of the current
sensations was good while it lasted
LASTED as drama, that is. But
none of them ended at the right
point. They all go on and on while
the public yawns and Kisses and even
takes to reading the European war
news to obtain relief. There was
momentary chuckle Of relief when
the Elwell-Stokes cases got briefly
entangled-why couldn't they all be
united in one great finale with a
grand opera sextet?
Even the ancientest "cases" return
to the front now and again. The
Elwell murder had hardly returned
to the front page via Buffalo when
the Dorothy Arnold mystery elbowed
it inside-via the careless talk of
police captain. The point is that
one way or another any character
in a real life drama, however old.
may walk back on the stage at any
moment. We live, psychologically
speaking, as the ancient cave dwell
ers lived, simply accommodating layer
after layer of rubbish and skeletons
beneath our feet, any one of which
may work to the surface again with
out warning. There is bully ma
terial in life, but any audience, to
say nothing of any critic, can show
how inferior it is to drama.

liar, though, as our resources were
not thrown into the war in the same
degree, less serious.
Nor is this all. Germany, whin-
ing over the just burden laid upon
her, seems actually entering upon
new era of commercial prosperity.
Her shipyards, for instance, are
buster than ours. German competi-
ton in South American trade has
again become formidable. The Ger
mans are beginning to undersell
American goods in Chile. This, it
is true, is to an extent the conse-
quence Of our own commercial
methods. But the essential point is
that the Germans are able to do it.
Pretending that the Allies are try
ing to rob them of the means of ex-
lstence, they still are piling up
wealth for themselves. The mendi
cant cry of poverty is all a bluff.
This is the sort Of . thing the pro-
German-Sinn Fein-pacifist aggrega-
ton would have the American peo-
pie approve and assist. Let there
be no mistake about that.

The New South

There has been much talk of the
New South, but there have been few
visible signs of it's arrival as signifi-
cant as. the conviction Of John S.
Williams, of Jasper County, Geor-
gia, for the murder of his negro
poems. 1t is not, too much to say
that this verdict, found by white
jury against a white man upon
negro. testimony, gives more hope of
light in this darkest problem of the
nation than any event in years.
The Tribune finds an especial
source of qualification in the fact
that the whole process of justice was
Southern, in initiation and in execu-
ton. 1t has been our contention al
ways that the negro problem could
best be solved, and probably only
solved, by the South. The North
could and did intervene to free the
slave; it could and did give him the
vote. But it could not secure him
enjoyment of his rights. In the
long run the progress of the negro
depends upon himself and upon the
white men and women of the South.
There have been frequent signs in
recent years that the solution of the
problem is under way. Many of the
strongest denunciations of lynchings
have come from Southern news
papers, from Southern leaders. The
present verdict found in Georgia is
a local sign Of similar significance.
farreaching in it's pronouncement.
1t will be applauded by clear-minded
Southerners everywhere, and The
Tribune warmly congratulates Jas
per County and the State of Georgia
upon this courageous administration
of justice in defiance of race preiu-
dice and to the permanent damning
of peonage and all it's works.

A Plain Tale

1t is we'll to understand precisely
what those who are still harping
upon the iniquities Of the Treaty of
Versailles and demanding easy
terms for the Germans are working
for. 1t is conformation for the
greatest crime ever committed by
one nation against others.
Germany went into the war as
commercial enterprise. The pur-
pose was not merely to win battles;
it was to make complete end to
French and Belgian industrial COM
petition. In the words of the Ger
man War Book, "the total resources"
Of enemy countries were to be ex-
lausted. And now that the war is
over Germany is actually supplying
France with many articles-linens,
for example-because France has
been made incapable for the time of
supplying herself with them.
But no indemnity that is proposed
will work equal damage to Germany.
Her resources are still compare
lively untouched. Nor are the Ger
mans now staggering under weight
of taxation as the Allies have to en-
dure. 1t is estimated that the taxa
ton in England is about 500
head, against some SIS head in
Germany. 1t is further shown that
the share of the indemnity which
England will get is one shilling to
the pound of what The war cost that
country. English industries have
not been crippled to the same extent
as French and Belgian, but the Eng
lish people are facing a national
debt of unprecedented size. The
situation in the United States is SIM

Harvard Man S Protest

words "at Harvard University"
During the last few years Harvard,
as we'll as most other universities and
colleges, has solicited acr graduates and
people at large to subscribe to an en-
dowment fund for the purpose Of in

A Central American Union

Another attempt to federate the
Central American states seems on
the point Of succeeding. Guatemala,
Honduras and Salvador have ratified
a treaty of union, and for them fed
Grafton becomes effective at once.
Costa Rica and Nicaragua have still
to be persuaded to enter the associ-
alton.
The five Central American states
are closely allied, historically and
politically, and have more than once
been under a central government.
Before the revolution against Spain
they formed the Spanish Captain
Generally of Guatemala. Iturbide,
the Mexican Emperor, annexed them
to his realm in 1922. In 1923 they
seeded and formed the first Repub-
lie Of the United States of Central
America. Guatemala, the strongest
of the group, was conservative and
separatist in feeling, however, and
in 1889 broke up the federal combi-
nation. Three years later it was re-
organized, only to be dissolved again
in 1845 by Carera, the Guatemalan
dictator. The latter defeated the
armies of Honduras, Salvador and
Nicaragua when they endeavcred to
restore the republic by force in 1850.
The separatist regime continued
until 1885, when Barrios, President
of Guatemala, sought to impose fed
Grafton on his southern neighbours
He lost his life in the attempt
Then, in 1895, Nicaragua, Salvador
and Honduras came together. A
federal constitution was adopted,
but Salvador became dissatisfied
with it and the new state quickly
gave up the ghost. In 1908 a fed
Grated Central American court was
established, with seat at Cartago.
One of its decisions, involving old
Nicaraguan Canal claims, offended
Nicaragua, which had come under
an America protectorate. With
American approval Nicaragua with
drew from the courts jurisdiction.
Now the Torment for union is
working again, 1t would be to the
economic advantage sof these small

AS to Shipping Costs
To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Regarding your editorial "The
Best From Anywhere" and the net loss
OF $l,ooooOO day to the country for
its Shipping Board, will you explain
what all this money is spent for?
One million dollars a day is a lot of
money to spend in times like these
when the taxpayer is grooming under
the burdens imposed upon him.
What | would like to know is, how q
shipping or any other kind of board,
no matter how many millions a day
1t spends, can make shippers give
business to American ships if the ship
pers have no business to give, or if
they can just as we'll give their bust
ness to foreign ships, which can do
the same work for half the price.

Velvet Shoes

From Poetry) I
Ell US walk in the white snow Il
In soundless space; i
With footsteps quiet and slow, I
At tranquil pace,
Under wells Of white lace.
I shall go shod III silk,
And you in wool,
White as white cows milk.
More beautiful
Than the breast Of a gull.
We shall walk through the still town
In MINDLESS peace;
We shall step upon white down. :,
Upon silver fleece,
Upon softer than these.
We shall walk in velvet shoes:
Wherever we go
Silence will fall like dews
On white silence below.
We shall walk in the snow.

Will hear?
You are the last word of thousand

Fine feur of Europes slow civility;
And subtlest product Of her ceaseless

So smooth, so silently, the stream goes by,
That it were dead: but, peering past the

An inch below the glass you catch q

A twist, the thrilling sense of flow.
And there! And there. And see the

And strain against the strong, subaque-

So, just beneath that faint, diaphanous

Your skin, it flutters pulsewse: now

That bright brown eye stays frozen:
