Condensation by
Rev. r. Perry Bush, D. D.


One man could hardly have written
the extraordinary number of books
that are credited to Alexandra Dumas.
The fact was angrily brought up In
the noveIIst's lifetime, some hostile
critics pointing to an output of 90
volumes I'm n single year and asking
how this could be justified.
Dumas did employ a host OF cOllab-
orators and his Partially for jokes
made his practice seem worse than II
really was. On one occasion an ardent
admirer ventured to remark that he
had found q mistake In geography In
one of the novels. (Which onef1 asked
Dumas. The worshiper gave the title.
"Oh, the deviI!" cried the novelist. 81
have not read 1t. Let me see, who
did that for me II was the rascal
Auguste. III hx him for that.1
The truth about DUMAS and Com
pany" II Involved and dIfIicuIt to reach.
There are novels bearing his name that
the great remancer probably had little
20 do with. Bat these are not his great
tales.
His principal collaboration was Au-
guste Maquet. He was an able writer,
but, as many critics have pointed out,
maQuet without Dumas would hardly
be remembered today, while Dumas
without Maquet would still be Dumas.
Almost always. when he worked with
Maquet, Dumas would suggest the sub
tect for story. Then he would draw
mp an outline ANA put down chapter
headings and divisions. Maquet would
NIL I'm the outline and afterwards Du-
mas would rewrite the whole story,
usually adding and altering a tremen-
dous amount and infusing II with the
genius that was lacking. IL was Ma
quet who worked with Dumas upon
"The Three Musketeers" and its sequeIs.

nous against attempting To enac any

ing being that the legislation should

The soldier bonus bin is 10 he IA

Fordney announced. Financial require
ments of the government for adjust

tax legislation should precede revision
of the tariff. adding that the business
world expects immediate relief from

Referring to the sentiment against
attempting II temporary or makeshift
tariff bin, senator Penrose said both
committees are alive 10 the require
ments of the agricultural situation"
"The opinion seemed to be-" he add
ed, that temporary tariff legislation
would not be practicable; that such IN

sion also was not determined today.

BAVARIA CLASHES
With BERLIN
CABINET Is CHARGED WITH BAD
FAITH IN ADOPTING DRAFT
LAW.
GUARDS ARE D|SBANDED
APPROPRIATION TO INDEMNIFY
GERMAN SHIPPERS is AP-
PROVED.

Berlin, March 1.-THE federal
law providing for the dissolution of
all German civilian guards and self
defense organization. Bayaria's seven
votes were the only ones in opposition.
This threatens to bring TO a head the
clash between the central government
ing up of the powerful system of Elm
wohnerwehr and local law and order
committees.
Appropriation of 4,700,OO0,OOO
marks to indemnify German shippers
for the tonnage lost because of the
terms of the Versailles treaty was ap-
proved by the Reichstag.
A news agency dispatch from Stutt-
CART says the chambers of
throughout Wurttemburg in an appeal
to trade, and industry and
the population urge n boycott against
English, French and Belgian goods
until the entente revOkes what are
termed the coercive penalties against
the Germans.
Munich.-Members Of the Bavarian
ministry are frank in indicating their
sentiments towards the Berlin govern
ment since news has been received or
the adoption by the federal council OF
the measure providing disbandment of
the civilian guards.
The Berlin cabinet is charged with
bad faith i'm that it is alleged that it
promised the Won Kahr ministry no
steps would be taken in connection
with disarmament if the London negO-
tiations failed.
The Munich government charges
Berlin with failure to present a draft
of the law before putting it 10 "A vote
and with failure to consult Premier
Won Kahr.
The coalition press and N~on-Social-
list papers are vehement In denuncia-
tipn of Berlin's IsOcedure.
Most of the papers charge the Ber-
lin government with "kOw-tOwing' to
the Socialists and say Bavaria does
not propose to take another chance at
being converted in a soviet republic.
DIR. Walter SimOns, foreign secre-
tary, delivered a Undergraduate speech
in the reichstag during which he gave
an exposition of the proceedings at the
London reparation conference. The
tone of the speech was extremely mod
crate.
81 must say" he declared, that
when one comes fact to fact with our
in London when one hears
what the situation is in their coun-
tries, and under what distress and
cares they are laboring, it becomes
clear that their demands are the &C.
suit of extraordinarily heavy troubles
and distress"
While maintaining the alleged ille-
gality of the penalties, he declared he
was opposed TO %rupturing relations
with the allies because 'our position
in the world is not such that il could
be improved by a breach" He admit
that 1t was possible to get n better
world perspective from London than
from Berlin and thereby realize how
general opinion Is that Germany Is in
wrong and has not done enough to
that wrong.
