LONDON, Jan. f4.-George Bernard
Shaw has an article in The Film Renter,
of London, on "Picture Plays and
Morals" in which he says:
"I am glad that the police have at
last testified to the civilizing influence
of the pictures. l was once invited to
conference of eminent persons, in
Guiding the headmaster of famous
public school, for the purpose of check
ing the alleged pernicious effects of
the cinema on the youth of the coun-
try. l heard the eminent persons speak
with sincere horror of the immoralities
of the picture theater.
II asked where the immoral films
were to be seen, as I had visited
cinemas in many European countries
and had found their morals oppres-
sively conventional, as might be ex-
pected from entertainments which have
to be presentable to audiences of all
classes and races, appearing stimuli
taneously in cathedral towns and
Chinese seaports, model villages and

LONDON, Jan. 4.-Miss Elsie
Wright and Miss Frances Ealing, Of
Cottingley Beck Woods, always had
said that there were real fairies in
the nearby forests. Recently they
took camera and photographed the
fairies.
The developed negative certainly
showed white figures in the woods,
and Sir A. Conan Doyle is en-
thusiastio over this vindication of
the spirit world.
The local branch Of the Psychical
Research Society has decided to re-
visit the scene where the fairies
were found, and attempt to again
surprise them at their games, TAX
ing new series of photographs.
The original pictures are now be-
ing studied by professional photog-
raphers to see whether they could
have been "faked."

Caterpillars are immune to the

The salaries of counselors of en-
bassies range from $4,000 to $1,000.
First secretaries receive from $4,000
to $4,000; second and third secretaries
from $1,000 to $4,000.
The base salaries Of consuls-ger-
eral do not rise above $7,500; but
local allowances, granted as a regular
matter, place their total compensa ton
far higher. Thus, the British Consul
General in New York is paid s26,25o,
while those in several other American
cities receive S11,500. Here again, .,s
with the ambassadors. compensation
depends largely upon the location of
the consular officer.
British consular salaries have been
largely increased during the present
year. The total appropriation for SAL
nri"s ond allowNn noes f. 1000 2l is
S3,276,700, as against $1,925,575 for
1919-20. The eXreNse of tie dinlo-
matte service proper has been held
down even below last years figure,
due chiefly to the fact that, while
salaries and allowances have been in
creased, the number of special mis-
sions dispatched has fallen consider
ably. The net increase in the cost Of
all British representation abroad for
this year is $1,544,S35.

1t is not only the Britisher, however,
who can afford to be startled at hear
ing Of erich Uncle Sans pinckpenny

OF little nation like Sweden, and con-
slider the item Of "salarics Of secre-
taries of legations" Although the
rates differ in the various capitals,
first secretaries in London, Paris,
petrograd, Peking and Toxic receive
S3,SS6 yearly; and the first secretary
in Washington is given $4,154. Second
secretaries are allowed between $2,412
and $3.50. There are no. third secre-
taries in the Swedish diplomatic
service.
These salaries are higher than those
pald by the United States. Moreover,
secretaries OF legations receive, upon
retirement, pension Of $1,447. and
American officials get no such emolu-
ment These figures are all based upon
the normal exchange of Swedish money
--26.S cents to the krona.
Ever since the depreciation in tho
value of many foreign currencies has
become marked, it has been urrcd that
the United States take advantape NJ

By Harold E. Scarborough

| From The Tribuns's European Bureau
LONDON, Jan. 4.-"The refusal of
the Republican Congress to vote sufi-
cent funds for the proper upkeep of
the diplomatic and consular represen-
tatives and their establishments has
caused the American envoys much
modification and is costing the United
States much prestige abroad, particu-
larly in the Far East" the New York
correspondent Of The Daily Telegraph
cables. He also notes that "for the
current year Congress voted about
$1,000,000 for the contingent expenses
of the American consulates, or 100000
less than was requested"
Britons read such news as this with
genuine amazement. They are accus-
toned to paying their diplomatic repre-
sentatives we'll, and it is simply incon-
ceivable to them that the British Min
lister to Jugo-Slavia should be forced
to typewrite his own dispatches be-
cause the government cannot afford to
hire a stenographer-as The Telegraph
states the American Minister is forced
to do. Or, substituting British" for
"American," they would be Mortified to
hear that cat Budapest the diplomatic
Offices are cramped wooden boxes up
two flights of narrow stairs leading
from small and evil smelling court
yard"
Some Estimates
The Treasury estimate for the con-
tingent expenses, building, rents, al
terations, repairs. insurance, ETC., of
the diplomatic and consular buildings
for the year ending March 81, 1921, is
S1,272,000. Since the British government
owns most of the buildings utilized for
it's foreign representatives, the item Of
rent does not bulk very large. But in
the estimates one finds such items as
persia, Kermanshah; rebuilding con-
sulate-$42, 500" new Consulate
General. in process of erection at Kobe,
Japan, is costing $225,OOO The Con-
sui Generals house at Canton, China,
is being rebuilt at a cost of $12o,000
These figures, all given at the nominal
eNCHdiiSe VI dpliOXllliaCely p0 TO Cne
pound, are items chosen at random
from the list of expenditures.
The total appropriation for the year
ending March 81, 1921, for the diplo-
matte and consular services is, at nor
NAL exchange, $11,396,895. This does
not include the $1,272,0o0 mentioned
above for maintenance, nor further in
cidental expenses of S119,965. Alto
gether, then, Great Britain is spending
on her diplomatic and consular serv-
ices this year the sum of $12 1888 $50.
The salary Of Am merican ambassadors
is fixed at SIT 500 Irrespective of the
posts they hold. The compensation of
British ambassadors varies with the
countries to wrch they are assigned.
Thus, the British Ambassador to japan
receives $4,000 a year and is the
lowest paid diplomat holding full am
bassadorial rank; but the Ambassador
to the United States. Sir Auckland
Geddes, has an allowance of 100000
yearly, which places him at the head
of the list as regards salary.
