Strangely enough in this charnel
house of Vienna; where the ashes of
Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert, johann
mes Brahms and Johannes Strauss
are buried, the musical tradition has
not been starved out-though it
seems only a question of a few more
months before the endurance Of the
big musical colony is finished-the
works of these great composers are
still played in heatless opera houses.
And Lehar, whose "Merry Widow"
tel.ghted all Amer ia, has produced
another wonderful operetta "The
Blue Mazur" which is even more
melod;ous, :ireamy and wistful than

Meanwhile the gas supply of War

Always the Bolshevik military
pressure menaces the safety Of Po-
land from the East. To prevent
swift occupation of the entire coun-

Polish State from the map of Eu-

an army of 100000 men. This is a
heavy drain on the states resources
But this army of half a million is
one of the principal mainstays of
European peace.

United Press Staff Correspondent.
Washington, Jan. 11-President-
elect Harding requested abandon
ment of all plans for elaborate inau-
guration ceremonies on advice of
friends in the senate, it was learned
today.
Republican senators close to Har-
ding called him on long distance and
told him that the Borah resolution
prohibiting further inauguration ap-
preparations and the use of public
building for a proposed ball would
come up in the senate today and
probably would be adopted. In ad-
dition the agitation against inaugu-
raj expenditures in both house and
senate was mentioned.
Harding agreed with what his ad-
visers told him, it was said, and IN
addition expressed the belief that
abandonment of the elaborate plans
would be an excellent example Of
economy with which to start his ad-
ministration.
Calls 1t All OFF.
The result of the long distance
conferences was a telegram to E. B..
Mclean, chairman of the inaugura-
ton committee in which Harding
suggested complete abandonment CT
all plans for an inaugural celebra-
ton" He said the impression OF
extravaganza expenditures and ex-
cessive cost would make very un-
happy participant" and added that 1t
is "timely and wholesome to prac-
tice the utter denial of public ex-
penditure where there is no real ne
cessity." Mclean announced Hard
ing's wishes would be carried out.
By Harding's acton the plans for
the most elaborate Inauguration IN
years were suddenly changed to
plans for one of the most simple.
congressman who have been tight
ing inauguration expenditures today
let it be known they would watch
for efforts to gradually override the
president-elect's wishes and they de-
clared also there is still necessity for
legislation to prevent profteering on
the crowds who will come here des-
pite the dropping of plans for elab-
crate ceremonies.
Protests By Thousands.
The people of the country, even
to its remotest corners have been
pouring into the mail thousands of
protests against lavishness at the ex-
pense of taxpayers. Since Senator
Borah brought the matter up week
ago and conducted losing fight on
the appropriation of $4,000 to pay
expenses at the capitol, men and wo-
men have been writing in daily in-
creasing numbers. Senator McNary
of Oregon got a protest signed by
900 citizens in his state. Senator
Borah's office can't begin to read all
the mail on the subject. Senator
Knox. chairman of the congression-
al on arrangement has been flooded
Nearly every senator has, and like
wise many members of the house.
The protests come from everywhere,
clearly Indicating that the whole
country wants a simple and econom-
ical inaugural.

Port au Prince, January 1.-La- bor and living are eheapin Haiti. There is hotel in Port au Prince, rated as the best, that charges only s4 a day for room and three square meals. True, the rooms are small, with the ancient wash bowl, and unbeatable. with concrete floors and rugless. but they are clean and comfortable.
 The same meals could not be ob- tained anywhere in the United States at double the price. Luncheon is regular dinner, and dinner is much like an eight-course feast. { They never serve less than two or three meats. when one, according to the American habit would be enough. There is fruit in abundance in Haiti, and a boy stand ing on the front porch, overlooking the sea, often, picks the breakfast oranges.
 The favorite dish is the chicken, served 365 days in the year without the least variation. Nobody ever wants to see chicken after staying three weeks in Haiti. A Haitian boy, walt ing faithfully on a guest for 21. meals beams his delight when tipped three

 Laundry at American rates Would cost more than room and board in Haiti If there were launGries. Thera is much to go out from each room daily to washerw omen, and it comes back spick and span at nominal cost
 But Haiti has not reached the point where it may bid for tourist travet. A man, stopping at the best hotel here for the first time, feels rather foolish when he asks for room and bath and is conducted to a little house, 50 feet away, where he may get a shower. It's a hard life for women
 The best, however. is in sharp con trast with the worst, for the laborer gets 20 cents a day, and thousands of natives live only on fruit that grows wild everywhere, the year round, like the roses.

FOREIGN OFFICE
 DENIES CHINESE
 ARE M|[|TAR|ST|C
Statement Explains, However, Some Provinces May Have Become Slightly Over
 Weighted
By Associated Press

Picking, January 1-Charges which have been circulated in some foreign countries that China has become a mil- taristic nation are denied by Dr. Philip Tyau, councillor of the foreign office, in statement he has just issued
 What China today is suffering from IS not miltarism properly so-caled, but an overweight of provincial military or sanization in relation to the general ad- minstraton,' said the councillor.
 China, according to independent in- Nestigation made by several departments during the last few months, has almost precisely the same population as Eu- rope 440OO0,000, at least seven times the population of Germany. If to the field force permitted to Germany by the Yer sailles treaty are added the men in the safety police and civic guard, and that total is multiplied by seven, it will be found that the ratio in China is in- ferior to the ratio in an admittedly dis armed Germany. In field troops and provincial patrols. China has 1,500, coo
 That their present organization and their dependence on military governors must be changed is granted. But until dee.sion can be properly registered re- garding the separation of civil and mili- tary power, ana until the degree of provincial autonomy compatible with the sovereignty of the republic has been set lied by Parliament and the government. 1t would be inviting disturbances to at tempt change
 The greatest enemy today is not mili- tarism or provincial militancy; but the low standard of living among the mass or the population and the luxury which modern essentials such as railways and roads represent because of their im- mense first cost in comparative terms The narrow margin between existence and starvation is so easily wiped out in Chinas dense population that when to this problem is added the problem of taxation the work of the government presents incredible difficulties. In west ern countries well-articulated credit sys- tems serve to disguise postwar prob- lems perhaps greater than China's, but r this country they present themselves in all nakedness which renders evasion or postponement impossible.
 China needs foreign help, but it must be help justly given. She pins her faith to the League of Nations and to a dis passionate. nonpartisan settlement of her issues abroad, because too often in the past it has been shown that what is desired of her at home is not negotia- tion but surrender. International gen srosity will find swifter reward here than elsewhere.

Bombay. December 25.-- Undia Informa- at one mill in the vicinity of Bombay wrecked the office of the factory a few days ago and stoned motor car con- taining police, severely injuring one in- spector and two soldiers. Before the police succeeded in dispensing the strik- CTS, they took to footing shops. A num- district is being picketed.
 Minor disorders took place elsewhere in the city, some stoning of street cars being indulged in at various places. The situation became serious enough for the commissioner of police to call the mount ed police. who charged the crowd e~in semi-circular fashion. The casualties have not been reported, but tine crowd broke up and fled. Wholesale arrests were soon after made 60 men being taken in custody
 For more than two months now the city of Bombay has been witnessing a se- ries of strikes in the mill industry on the street cars in gas works and the postal service The tension has grown every day more serious especially on account of government refusal to ar bitrate the various disputes An all-In- dia trade union congress recently held in the foremost industrial city has given further impetus to the laboring ranks.
 The Bombay strikers have sent a cable to London asking for financial support from the British labor movement for their cause

Difficult Times for Intellectuals

From "The New Ignorance" by Lothrop
 Stoddard in the Scribner.
 Now what about the creators of the inte1lectuals themselveso Their pres ent position can nowhere be considered a brilliant one. We have already an alyzed the handicaps which the war has placed upon their activity. handt- caps winch tend to depress their earn ing power below pre-war levels. Yet with their stationary or diminished in ccmes, they are hit by the vastly n- creased cost of living. The war seems to have enriched brawn, but it has i'm poverished brain. Both in Europe and America it is the same story, and Mir Masterman utters a universal common place when he writes of England "In the great newspaper offices the lino- type compositor who prints the paper can afford to despse the income of the journalist who writes the paper.'
 Now what is to be the outcome of so- cial conditions in which lamplighters and street cleaners are paid better than professors and publicists? The present generation of ntellectuals-m of es- tablished reputation and assured au- dierce-inay. weather the storm. But how about the rising generation--the men whose reputation is still in the making, and to whom the public has not vet lent ear9 How can they sur vive9 Lastly what of the coming generation-the students, wiio have not yet even begun to carve out their ca reers? These queries demand answers, for those new generations must be formed if the torch of learning is to be carried on.> Yet how. under the con- ditions existing in Europe. and to a lesser degree in America. can this be done? The gulf between past and pres. ent is we'll described by Paul Bourget. 'Tf the present conditions persist" he ayers, i've shall suffer an irreparable falling away in the recruitment of the liberal professions. It is these very students who will of necessity become rarer as the years pass"
