REALLY FLOWERS OF SPEECH
Sayings. Witty and Wise. That Arc
Worth Being Preserved In
an Anthology.

Prof. Sir Arthur CUTLER Couch,
in the course of his lively lectures
"On the Art of Reading" gives some
examples Of Irish peasants sayings
with the large simplicity, the cadence.
the accent of Scriptural speech. The
best is the benediction bestowed upon
one of the two authors of the incom-
parable Irish r. NJ" by an old wom-
an in Skibbereen: "Sure ye're always
laughing That we may laugh in the
sight of the glory of heavent" The
writer once thought of making an an
thology of such wild flowers Of way
side speech. He would have included
in it some far-traveled sayings, such
as that of the freighter In the alkaline
districts of Alberta, who said, point
ing with his whip to an intensely blue
lake on the horizon. Bitter as a dy-
ing mans sweat is that same water"
and the perfect definition of ghost
implied in the words of Newfound-
land fisherman, There 1 sees 'em
warming themselves in the moon
light"

ROOM FOR YOUNGER, CRITICS |
They Have Place In the World and
Duty That Is Well Worth
Performing.

The younger critics, says Haywood
Broun, are the lineal descendants of
that little child in Anderson's fairy
tale who. when the emperor was be-
Ing made n spectacle of and all the
world was being fooled by the sharp
tailor, refused to be quiet and cried
out, He hasn't got anything on" These
young enthusiasts who have no posi-
tons to lose and no dignities to live
up to go about pointing to nil our
literary emperors and calling attention
to the scantiness of their attire of
greatness, and refuse to be silenced
by their scandalized or terrified elders.
Good sense bids us welcome their hon.
est gaze at even the sacrosanct per-
sons. 1t can't hurt anything really
fine, and It's about time we came out
of some of our illusions. William AL
len White sized 1t up about right from
the conservative point of view when
he said in praising Main Street.: "Of
course, Pm on the other side of the
street myself. but that's just the rea-
son why like this book. 1t gives us
fellows something to answer"

NEW CABINET, WITH DR.. WIRTH
AS CHANCELLOR, TAKES
SPEEDY ACTION.
ULTIMATUM APPROVED
GOVERNMENT sUsTAINs ACTION
TO AVERT GRAVE CRISIS AND
PREVENT INVASION.


Berlin, May 11.-Germany has ac-
cepted the allied ultimatum. The
Reichstag, by 221 to 175 votes, yielded
to the final allied demands and agreed
to fulfill the terms of the treaty of
Versailles ito the capacity of the ma
ton. DIR. Wirth, centrist leader, final
ly succeeded in forming coalition
cabinet. composed of centrists. jor-
ity Socialists and Democrats, which
confronted by grave necessity, speed
lily decided acceptance of the ultima
tum was the only course
In making this announcement to the
Reichstag the new chancellor asked
for immediate decision and the gov
eminent was sustained.
The allied ult matum required a
Eyes" or mo" reply.
The total sum Germany is called OH
to pay is E6,750,0O0,00O; disarmament
must be carried out in accordance
with the treaty, and the trial of war
criminals must be put into effect.
Noncompliance with the ultlmatum
would have subjected Germany to the
occupation of the Ruhr and whatever
other measures were deemed advisable
The new cabinet generally is regard
ed as a makeshift, largely unrepresen-
tative, but good enough to accept the
ultimatum
While the cabinet obtained a COM
Portable majority In the Reichstag, 1t
has the undivided support of only the
majority Socialist and clerical parties.
Members of the other parties, 1t is
declared. have given it support as a
makeshift and are not pledged to give
1t parliamentary support.
A leading Democrat said:
THE cabinet cannot last, as it Ii
not on a broad enough basis to carry
out the financial and economic prob
lens involved in German acceptance
of the reparations settlement.
ave Democrats have loaned Schif-
fer and Gessler to the cabinet, reserv-
ing the right to withdraw them unless
the cabinet is amplified to include the
German Peoples party"
DIR. Wirth is unfavorably regarded
by the industrials and banking inter-
ests because he is closely associated po-
lltically with Matthias Erzberger, his
predecessor as finance minister, who
advocated a raid on capital, rather
than indirect taxes to meet Germany's
financial needs,
Conservative elements in the reich
stag regard the cabinet as too Social
istic and incapable of outlining pol
icy whereby Germany can begin imme-
diately meeting the entente's financial
demands.
The cabinet is the outgrowth of two
days of wild chaos, in which the par
ties met day and night and finally in
desperation agreed on an improvised
slate, which underwent scores of
changes and admittedly never could
have obtained ratification had 1t not
been necessary to check the threatened
entente military movements.
