Paris, April %.
Never was the interest of Parisians
in spiritualism greater than at present,
declares Camille F'lammarion. whose
latest volume, "Strange Incidents" is
causing thinkers to devote more con-
sideration to the philosophy of the un-
known
M. Flammarions book does not set
forth any definite principles concern
ing the hereafter, but long record of
reputable examples of foresight, pre-
nonitions and telepathy certainly opens
the way for broader study of psychic
phenomena by French scientists. This
movement Is being seconded by the
arrival OF Sir A. Conan Doyle. who has
twice lectured before little group Of
earnest experimenters. telling them
the world is on tho eve of great
progress which would bring the sor-
rowing ones closer to those they had
lost during the war.
Naturally the emotional effect OF this
has been great. While fussy fadists are
not abandoning their little hobbies such
az adorning rooms with heathen statues
or wearing tiny silver bells on their
wrists, psychical seances are now filled
TO overflowing and mediums approved
by the research societies are said TO be
rapidly on the way to making fortunes.
Tho movement is especially strong In
the literary world since the appearance
Of poems attributed TO the late Judith
Gautier, but written By her friend, Nine.

DOG SMUGGLING BY AIRPLANE
British Lords Get Promise of Min
lister to Abatc 1t.

LoNpoN, April 23.--Dog smuggling by
airplane has arrested the interest Of the
House Of Lords. which recently devoted
part OF an afternoon to a discussion
OF the subject. The pampered toy dog
was roundly excoriated by a number
OF their lordships, Lord Willoughby de
Broke supporting Lord Bedisowe in a
demand that such useless brutes' be
excluded from the country.
IT was pointed out that It is an easy
task for a person to smuggle the small
lap dog into the country In a muff or
basket. The Ministry of Agriculture
promised TO renew It's vigilance In the
matter Of preventing dog smuggling and
to increase the penalties II necessary.

THE "eiixir of life" as discov-
cred and disseminated by Sir
James Cartlie, widely known
physician and surgeon, is prov
ing so popular with men over
fifty that he intends to form
classes in physical improvement
for grandmas. He says that his
elixir will benefit women as
much as men.
"Away with the teapot, knit

he says. "Women should keep
vigorous as well as men and
should not give up because
few wrinkles have come and the
hair has turned gray" His
classes for men are growing

Mrs. Austen Cham berlain.
Mrs Austen Chamberlain is a ster-
ling character in the background OF poll
tics but her duties as the wife OF the
leader of the strong Unionist Party are
bound to bring her to the front rank of
politically important women. She is
called "childrens woman" and per-
haps has natural instinct to retire.
ment As one writer said of her when
Mr.. Chamberlain was selected, She is a
lover OF books, of her husband. of her
home; in word-of duty" This kind
which Mrs. Lloyd George typifes. Is
what many political leaders think is
needed in politics here. The days of old
have given place to something more
serious and more dignifled, il not less
intriguing.
Among political hostesses the Con-
servative group has long been, and still
is, solid and substantial one The
mansions of Londonderry. Derby and
Curzon still figure prominently In social
political functions. Lady Londonderry
is called tower of strength to her
party. Lady Derby has a high concep-
tion OF duty and steady purpose. The
present Viscountoss Curzon adds much
to the feminine force with her beauty,
charm and gifts of entertaining. Lady
Birkenhead is known for her Smart
ness" and, while Lady Askwith Is a
different sort of personality entirely, she
is almost equally important.
Among those rapidly rising In this
category is Lady Cunard MAUD Burke.
daughter of the late H. f. Burke OF
New York;. who was married to Sir
Bache Cunard in 1895. Her infectious
personality dominated that memorable
luncheon party of Prince Lichnowsky at
rhe Germany embassy late In July, 1914.
when Lords French and Kitchener met
under the first lengthening shadow OF
war Lady Randolph Churchill (Jennie
Jcrome). mother of Winston Churchill,
loses none Of her power as the younger
women rise. In the ranks Of the doubt
full" younger women is Lady Cynthia
Mosley, who has an American dash,
inherited from her mother. the late Lady
Curzon MARY Letter., that is pound TO
carry her far.
The new Parliamentary alignment will
bring many other women into oroinl-
| nence and as they come they assume a
place in political life and create stand
ard for women that bids fair TO broaden
rapidly.

More and more the feminine per,
eonality is coming into British politics,
and here. as In America, women are
exercising a more direct influence than
ever before. UTndeniably they con-
stitute an appreciable consideration in
the destiny of the country and the
importance of their part grows as the
rulers of the State realize this and
shape their policies accordingly.
With the assembling Of Parliament
bfter the Easter holidays the feminine
factor is probably stronger in English
politics than it has ever been in the
history of the empire. An uncertain
situation has been brought about by
the new complexion of Parliament.
The resignation of Bonar Law and
&he rise of Austen Chamberlain, with
many influential women in his family
connections. has put affairs on an en- :
sirely new plane and one in which the
women Of England occupy an impor-
tant place.
Many Women who Count.
The question has often been asked
here. What part do women play in
politics." But now the question Is,
who are the women who count in poll
tics?" The shrewdest politicians In the
Government to-day will admit there
are many women who count, some who
have q decided influence and some whose
Influence Is certain to grow.
In the foreground are women of Yari-
Gus political and social standings. but
women whose power strangely oscillates
in almost the same manner as the force
of the men high UP in political life In
this group there is decided American
atmosphere. for 1t includes women of
American birth, and all play their part
rs American women are doing in the
United States to-day. 1t IS an honorable,
high minded endeavor to be of service
In tho largest sphere of activity that
woman in the two great English speak
Ing countries has assumed.
Standing above all women in English
politics to-day are Mrs. Lloyd George.
wife of the Premier. and Niscountess
Astor. the only woman member OF Par
lament Until very recently Mrs. Lloyd
George has kept herself in the back
ground. but with the clrurning OF Eng
lish politics she may now be called the
real Lady OF the Land" with the
Queen beside tho King on quite another
stage.
There Is much about the Premiere S
wife that comes to mind at the mention
of President Harding's wife. She is. as
one writer on Downing Street said,
very simple; just what | like" She is
gradually but certainly emerging az a
character at once simple and large. con-
spicuously genuine and inconspicuousy
competent In the romance of modern po-
liucal life. This Is the secret of her
completely successful apprehension of a
position--the most vulnerable open to a
woman in this country--to which she did
not aspire

Chicago.-A demand that Europe
be compelled to pay her American
war debts was made here by David
II. Forgan, president OF tho National
City Bank OF Chicago. aud one Of the

Englands debt to America be can.

y do not believe In cancelllng any
contract. II Is against the moral
sense of the world" said Forgan.
The Chicago financier suggested
that England create a sinking fund
from which to pay America fuur per
cent interestand one per cent dlvl-
dend annually on the debt.
"a New York man has also sug.
gested that the war debt be anal
yzed; that the money borrowed and
used Ia the manufacture of shells
and ammunition be cancelled, and
the money used in home industry be
paid" he added. "England's debt to
us would hardly be lessened by
this. 1t is perhaps a good suggestion,
however, but | believe that England
ought to pay the $4O0,0O0,0OO in
full.
"As for cancelling any portion of

crying shame. In effect, II would be

crime she committed in starting a
