Hosanna, Not Horror

ror without end" is the reported
mood of the lower Rhine Valley as
tho new Allied occupation is cheer
fully accepted.
The saying indicates that our
familiar friend German Propa-
ganda has not lost his lusty voice.
The world is to be filled with clamor
concerning the wickedness of the re-
vengeful French. President Ebert
has already let out a preliminary
below of pretended pain, and doubt
less it will be dutifully echoed by the
Won Machs and the Vierecks.
Yet the new occupation, like that
Of the Moselle region since the sign
ing Of the armistice, promises to be
a benevolent affair. Instead of rea-
son for cries of horror, there is cause
for an outburst of hosannas. 1t is
easy money which has come to town.
The Treaty of Versailles is docu-
ment of 223 pages, but its writer's
found no room to insert precise pro-
visions for effective penalties for its
violation. 1t confers no rights of
civil administration, or for imposing
taxes, or for making laws for finsn-
cial and economic purposes. The
Allies cannot, as Stephane Lauzanne
r,nlrtC la In -
of a single pfennig or move chair"
The incoming soldiers will pay for
what they consume and local trade
will thrive. Conquest, where is thy
sting? Occupation, where is thy in
convenience?
The Allies, ir~ the way of impro-
vising penalties, now decree, under
the general power to enforce the
treaty, that customs barriers shall
be set up and that revenues there
from shall flow into the repara-
tion fund. But the worthy Germans
declare the collections will not pav
enough to meet the cost of the serv-
ice. But even though this were not
so, it is not a matter of local concern
what customs tolls are levied. The
towns will prosper. 1t will be re-
called that Coblenz shopkeepers wept
when the news came that most of
the free-spending American dough-
boys were to be withdrawn.
In Belgium and northern France
the Germans reduced the inhabitants
to slavery. imposed cruel acquisitions
and otherwise brought home the bit
terness of war. But it is assumed,
doubtless with warrant, that the
French are too civilized to resort to
similar practices. They will scarcely
dare give cross look to the burgh-
ers through fear the heavens will
resound with lamentations over the
horror on the Rhine.
# by chance German rations

ever way matters go Hans believes
he will be comfortable, and at ease
he smokes his pipe and drinks his
beer.
Modern warfare seems to imply
woe to the conquering rather than
to the conquered. France suffered
the destruction of five of her DEPART
ments, the loss of 81 per cent of her
wool production. 80 per cent of her
iron ore, 70 per cent of her sugar
DO per cent of her supply of electri-
cal energy, 600 kilometers of her
railroads and countless habitations
and shell-plowed fields. GERMANY in
material way lost nothing. Yet
France was victorious and GERMANY
defeated. In the year 1921 roles
seem reversed, yet beyond doubt we
shall hear much of poor Germany.

From One of the 69th

Io the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The action of Lieutenant Colo
mel Anderson in officiating at the Her
ror on the Rhine" meeting has aroused
IN me and many of the other members
OF the 69th a righteous indignation.
by what right does Colonel Anderson
speak for his former command? Does
nc pardon the Germans and their
atrocities? He may forgive; ne may
forget; he may pity the Germans IN
their sad plight, but let him not speak
Tor me nor for the regiment that
marched away with throbbing strength
anc struggled home a ghost. Surely
the Colonel is of q quality divine II
ne can change his coat of yesterday
and extend the hand of friendship TO
those he once ordered his men to late
so heartily.

as matter of fact, nobody could wcite

unless he was the sorts of person who
could drop out few thousand years
every now and then without worrying
about them"
Writing in The New Republic under
the title eve Who Are About to Die
Ialute YOU" William Allen White is
just little mournful about the lit
erary tradition which is passing. "The
Silent Tear" writes Mr.. White, (Which
once glittered upon the pages of Amer
lean fiction is going dry with the rest
of the country under some sorc of
literary Volstead act" He cites Sher-
wood Anderson as an example, describ-
ing him as an author who gets away
with every sort of cruelty and oppres-
sion to his heroes and performs every
literary malpractice upon his hero
ines"
We observe" continues Mr. White,
"the fiinching of his cursed creatures
with merely scientific interest. 1t is
all impersonal-this grief and pain
and passion of the fiction writer's of
our new era"
1t would be grievous fault. but we
think Mr.. White has read Poor
White to Indifferent purpose if he did
not mark the fact that Anderson was
tearing his heart out about his hero.
To be sure, he did not translate his
own emotion into many yards Of sack
cloth, nor was he liberal with ashes.
but the tear was there. Perhaps il
was suppressed into a sob. At anv
rate there was suffering. In fact. we
are inclined to think that the emo
tional content of some Of the modern
novels is much greater than that OF
the school which IS nassinc. The
chief trouble with the Silent Tear. the
suppression Of which White deplores,
is that it wasn't silent. We find it
hard to share or sympathize with the
sorrows Of most Victorian heroes and
heroines from the fact that we are
seldom able to hear or to see them. The
entire foreground is occupied by the
author. who rushes up and down wiring
ing his hands and shouting "TRis is
awful" II modern authors seem an
duly repressed it is only to give their
characters chance to weep for them
selves.

Your support of Wells seems TO be
unqualified" writes Marlnspike, "and
am at loss for a reason for it. The
only point on which he is unassailehle
is as master of the English aanguage.
When he poses as a historian tne
may not only take issue with his de-
ductlons-one may question his facts.
IN SO many obvious cases is the wish
the father to the thought that his
whole work appears to be too mac
curate for serious study For example,
he attacks Alexander for spelling the
rise o. a free and tranquil Creek
state-a thing which he has been at
some pains to prove never existed and
was practically an impossibility. The
most rabid admirer of Wells
know does not pretend to defend the
speclous vagaries of the second vol
ume OF his Outline of History, and
one comes down to the fact that
only in his treatment of prehis
toric man does Wells shed any lisht
at all--and there only becanse the sub
Ject is susceptible to his broad brush.
"As philosopher and theoloeian
Wells cannot be taken as a STANDARD
either by Christian or non Christian
thinkers. From the Christian point of
view it is unthinkable that Christian
.ty has waited nineteen hundred years
Tor the feeble Interpretation given by
Wells-a picture of God who is al
most antiChristian in His ineptness
and inadequacy. From any other point
OF view Wells is too unstable and too
much of an orriuiste to be relied on.
IN the few years since he has dis
covered God Wells's ideas nsve
changed to noticeable degree, and
there is no sign that he is not ytill
IN " state of fux. If he is already
essentially right then any further
development is quite as likely to be
wrong as right, unless it consists
merely in the elaboration of his p1es-
ent ideas. And even superficial knowl.
edge of Wells shows that his career
has been marked by the completeness
with which he has changed his be-
iiefs. If rightness merely means the
ability to change, then he is right,
and so is every female dcvotee of new
religions and microscopic cults. 1t
comes down to the old question, con-
siderlng IS narrow minded people who
are so obstinate as to hold to certain
hXed beliefs and SO unintellgent as to
receive them umpteenth hand from
generation to generation.
Your devotion to Wells appeals to
me as the hero worship of the small
boy for his older chum, against the
advice of parents, elders or police.
There is something fine and loval
about it, and also something rather
touching"

BUCK JONES TO SHOW
 US A LIVELY CHASE

The widest ride that Vic torville, Cal, once the head quarters of the toughest men the West has produced, has seen in many years, was that of Buck Jones, the Fox star, and Pat Harmon in the mak- ing of "Firebrand Trevison, " on the great Verde ranch. The picture, adapted from a story by Charles Alden Seltz- CT and directed by Thomas N. Heffron, is coming to the Jewel Ihearte, Friday, June IT.. One scene called for a ride of nearly a mile in which liar mon, as the william, was pur- sued by Buck Jones. The william on a light pony, the fieetest of foot on the ranch, was, turned loose in pasture some two miles in length lying in a bottom along the Mojave river.
 Buck, on Blondy, his sorrel horse, fifteen hands high and weighing 1000 pounds, thought he would have an easy time to catch Harmon, as the picture required; but the pony ran with such speed that Buck had to chase him for more than half a mile to get with in shooting distance.
 "Blondy is one of the fastest horses I ever rode" said Buck, but that pony sure can travel"
 Half the population of Vic orville was out to see the race, which furnishes one of the big thrills in "Firebrand Trevi- son."

many club programs. In the opinion of MT. Richards, the greatest censor is public sentiment.
 He believes that the public wants the very best in pictures, and those offer ings that do not measure up to stan dard automatically go out. In his ar gument. based on survival of the fit test, he refers to the once popular "vamp" picture, which he claims has given way to the "cleaner, better pie ture.'
 The vampire type was a fester on the body polite of pictures. The pub lie in it's realization that there was nc reason for such photoplays allowed them to fade out said Mir. Richards.
 Mir Richards returned only yester- day from a several days absence on the coast, where he held a series of conferences with De Mille Cashier, George Baker. Rupert Julian and other well known directors. He will quote their views in the course of his talk which will be one of the features of the congress of mothers convention at the afternoon session Friday.
