he would suffer two deaths, for these whiskers have been his pride th eourtship and his comfort in trouble. It was admitted by our French visi- tors that the "favoris' of "Barb-bleu~ would be a problem. However, they supposed they would be reefed or tucked up in some manner to avoid the sharp descending edge of the pitiless blade, so that when the bald head of the mysterious man of Gam bias tumbles into the basket his be- loved whiskers will still be with him.
 Frenchmen say that the Landru case has been of far greater service to. France than in the mere enter
 tafnment offered at tho recent re- markable trial. The Bluebeard was arrested in 1918. It was a time al most of despair for the French peo- pie. The Germans again had gained what seemed to be the mastery of the western front and Paris once more was threatened. So the gov ernment deliberately gave orders to the French press to play up" the Landru case for all it was worth so that the people might have thei- minds diverted, for a time at least. from the seriousness of the war ait uation. Consequently Bluebear1 drove the war off the first page. Be- cause Landru thus vicariously served 8 patriotic purpose, there are those who say he should be saved from the averaging knife. Landru is ia- clined to view the matter in the same
 light. He says his repertory of crime IS not nearly exhausted.

With Industrial Situation
 Growing Grayer, She Sees in Disarmament a Ray of Relief-Irish Situation Is
 Somewhat Clarified
By GEORGE N. BARNES
 British Pnrliamentry Leader Special Wireless Dispatch to The Al

Herald.
 Copyright. 1921, by The AEe-HeraldJ
 London, December B. Lloyd George has been straining every nerve to get to the Washington con- ference, for he realizes that the British people expect much of this gathering.
 Furthermore, public opinion is be- coming reconciled to the possible failure of the Irish negotiations, while at the same time hoping for an indefinite prolongation of the truce.
 The British view of the Washing ton conference has grown in interest, because our industrial troubles are forcing themselves upon us with in- creasing insistence. In the month which has elapsed since the situation was dealt with in a special session of Parliament, the number of un- employed has increased to nearly 2,000, ,000. and it looks as if the iso- lated efforts of the past have been but feeble voices crying unavailingiy to the spirits of the vasty deep.
 Twenty five million pounds sterl- ing were pledged for credits to stim- ulate trade, but so far there has been no stimulation, and the only crumbs of comfort for our workless In the winter months Is an increased dole.
 Trade Has Collapsed.
 Yet, trade Is to us of supreme im- portance. for we have built our eco-

homie life upon 1t. And trade has collapsed. It has collapsed because the world has spent. and continues to spend, too much of its substance on the manufacture of war weapons. Trade and employment will come only by the release of labor forces to the production of exchangeable commod- ities.
 Hence, the importance of both the Washington and the Irish confer ences, and the growing impatience here with those who expound policies which involve a large amount of ex- penditures or the perpetuation of na- tional or Sectional animosities-
 As to the Washington conference, there Is no doubt that British public sentiment would welcome a decision by it to deal more exhaustively with the question of land ornaments than seems immediately possible. This move would be welcomed even if it involved an adjournment and a re- assembly on a wider basis of repre- sentation. For it is felt to be of ex- treme importance that France should come into line.
 Irish Situation Clearer
 The meeting of the Ulster Parlia- ment has to some extent cleared the air respecting Ireland. and public opinion is considering it's attitude to- ward the rival Irish sections and what is to be done if the negotia- tions should break down completely. One fact emerges with increasing clearness and that is a feeling of ir- ritation with Irish stubbornness. Englishmen fully realize Listers great service in the war and her in- tense and perhaps well grounded dis. like of Sim Fein. But she might have made better response to the Kings appeal than the mere asser- tion of her technical rights. Safe from coercion, and sure of lastiyears acts. she has simply wrapped herself in robe of self-righteousness. So, after all Is said and done, there is really little change. Ulster blocks the way to Irish unity and Sim Fein lacks the faith to wait for it under conditions of larger liberties offered. The unfortunate predominant part ner' can but hope and wait. Under the circumstances.e we should well come an indefinite prolongation of the truce until all concerned may realise the grim humor of the situa- ton.
 Not to Renew War One thing is certain. There will be no renewal of war from here unless
 
 lawlessness and a reaffirmation of the right of separation. And even then it might take the form of blockade and isolation after legislation con- ferring a dominion status on the e6 Sim Fein counties. Sim Fein in the last resort may have the opportunity of living for themselves alone" But to return to the industrial aspect. 1t can be said that 1t is bound up with Ireland as well as with Washington. No nation or race can live for itself alone without injury to the struc- ture of sections, upon the mainte- nance of which all that is worth while depends.
 The employment of workingmen Is worth more than armaments, and in- dependence Is better than selfish ra- cial sectional posturing. If these things, however. are forgotten or oyerpail, the forces of anarchy and disintegration will be immensely strengthened.

Following on the heels of the meet ing of the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States came the mid-winter confer ence of the Southern Baptist -Educa- tion association, which began its ses- sions on Saturday morning at the First Baptist church.
 While the association which ad- journed on Friday Is largely made up of secular institutions of learning, yet 1t numbers among it's members quite a few of the leading denomina- tional colleges. many of which were represented ably at the Birmingham gathering.
 The history of denominational col leges in America is one of which the various faiths establishing them may well be proud, for some of the greatest universities in the land were born out of the poverty and sacrifice of a hand full of consecrated Christian men and women who believed in education.
 There are some who seem to think that denominational schools, colleges

SWAN SONG OF NAVY IN MOVIES URGED

As an indication, however, of how thoroughly convinced the country iS that the American navy. with all its might and pride, is destined to have an early visit to Davy Jones locker, D. " Griffith, wizard of, the motion picture production, has sent an agent to Washington and placed before the Secretary Of the Navy the outline of a wonderful scenario which would involve the entire naval history of the United States. The film story would end with a grand demonstra- ton by all of our newest dread naughts which would sing a sort of swan song with shot and sell. Our earlier naval battles would be fought with reconstructed vessels of the old school. The undertaking would be quite a stupendous affair. It would have love theme, of course, and an allegorical tableau at the finish. de- picting the peace of the world. It IS Griffith's idea that the magnificence of the super-dreadnaught of today should be handed down to a battle shipless posterity, either as curio or as forgotten glory. The movie impressario, in any event, felt he had to speak quick before the last big ship was scrapped. R. T. $.

HAYS IS MAKING
 NoBBY DEPARTMENT

Postmaster General Hays is not only
 humanizing" the post office depart ment, but he is making 1t hobby quite the nobbiest thing in the way or go~erpment depar tment Wash ington has ever seen. The elevator men have just appeared in uniforms that make the liveries of such aris- tocratic hotels as the Ritz and the Blackstone look drab and common place in comparison. The color scheme of the new uniform Is gray. with black stripes, gold braid trim mings and brass buttons. The pieces de-resistance, however, are the head pieces-lovely little Tommy Atkins caps, just like the best hotels affect for buttons"
 The Postmaster General is the first cabinet officer to succeed in getting the elevator men in costume. Even the state department, with all it's punctilious and international import ance, still has to put up with con ductors in ordinary civilian attire.

 Washington, December 3.-Frankly, it must be admitted that some of out foreign visitors, particularly the French, are becoming bored with our dear Washington. They admit that Washington Is belle" and all that sort of thing, but Washington is not Paris. And Noel Is approaching There is so much to do in Paris at Christmas time. Our visitors want to get away, they want to go home. This applies to the Englishmen, too, for Christmas and boxing day are cele- brations no real Britisher cares to miss. The French feel that now they arc merely polite "lookers-on" at the conference, and they would like to see 1t come to an end as speedily as possible so that they may get back to their beloved boulevards and the sidewalk cafes that make these bou- levards so desirable.
 The truth of the matter is that our foreign visitors do not like their sudden plunge into prohibition. Not that they have suffered for want of liquid refreshments during their stay in Washington, but they are not ac- customed to private room drinking. There is a ceremony about drinking in Paris. The hour of the "aperitif" generally extends into two or three hours. During this time the Parisian may not have more than two or three drinks, but he has enjoyed sitting and talking with his friends and watch- ing the gay promenade of the boule- yard.
 Another thing. Washington has no night life," as night life is known in Paris or London. or even In New York. Where are your cabarets; where are those white lights; where are the midnight nevues?" asked the French attaches their first day in Washington. And the echoes am swered: "Wherer' There has been formal entertainment galore for all the foreigners, but they are soon flea up" on formalities and like to go their devious ways. The only trouble is that Washington ways, socially, are not devious. And so our visitors are getting restive and anxious to be away. Washington, alas, is "trop lente.y

and universities are on the wane, but this is a mistaken idea which can easily be corrected by perusal of the statistics gathered by the govern ment at the last census on edcational establishments in the United States.
 This is to be no brief either for the. denominational~ college or against secular universities. for at Nthis stage of culture both have a place to fill and should work together for the best interests of education. Time may be when there will be no divi- sion, but 1t will come after church unity. if 1t ever comes, and many other changes in the social, economic and religious status of the people, have been made over.

religious, for many years yet to come there will be enough men and women in the various churches willing to give to and support their church schools, and in addition bear their proportion of the taxes needed to support the public schools and state universities.
 It is this spirit which has enabled the Methodists, Baptists. Presby- terians and other denominations in the past few years to raise such large sums of money to be appropriated among their secondary schools. col- leges and universities in order that their sons and daughters may have an opportunity to be trained in insti- tutions which tend to conserve and propagate the special things for which thcy were established.

CHEAPER SHELLS IS
 FIRST CONFERENCE VICTORY
 J. R. A. Hobson of Richmond and the officers of various steel compa- nies throughout the east were inter ested conference visitors" In Wash ington day or two ago They were interested to the extent of selling shells to the navy. There was no deep, dark or deadly diplomatic move in the opening of shell bids at time when Japan was forcing a deadlock on the ratio of naval reduction de- manded in the Hughes program.
 The operation was neither ges- ture nor a threat. Nor was it a shell game in the ordinary sense of the word It was just part of the navy routine. which is inerrable. They are practice shells, shells to sharpen the eyes of our gun pointers and to keep the skill of our gun crews up to that state of efficiency which means a navy ever ready.
 The bids, by the way, seemed to in- dicate that the price of shells Is conn ing down. So here we have the first victory of the conference.
