Lincoln Plans To
Have a Drama
League

Lincoln is ambitious for a drama
league. Mrs. T. L. Mead and Miss
Hazel Smell believe there is need
for such an organization and enough
local talent to justify it. A meet
ing will be called early in Septem-
Der. They contemplate affiiation
with the National Drama league if
they organize. The Omaha Drama
league withdrew from the national
body year ago.
1t is interesting to know that
Larry Raugh. a former Lincoln boy,
has the leading part in "Prunella,''
which is now being rehearsed by the
Chicago Drama league for an carly
fall or late summer performance.

Twenty dollars worth of food and
fun for S." said Mrs. George Doane
Friday, referring to the Associated
Charities benefit dinner which will
be given in the new Brandeis res
taurant the evening of September IS.
George Brandeis is donating the en-
tire cafe floor, the food, the service
and the orchestra which will furnish
music for dancing.
This means $4,000 for the chari-
ties. if Omaha people will attend"
said Mrs. George Doane, secretary.
At II o'clock that evening a mid
night revue will be presented. Mrs:
Howard H. Baldrige, who is general
chairman for the benefit, promises
that it will be something "unsur-
passed in Omaha frolic annals"
The English grill room, done IN
mahogany, the French room, renais-
sance type, and the private dining
rooms of the restaurant will be util-
lied for the dinner and also for the
two luncheons which will go with
the benefit series.
Iuan Muller OF Rome. Paris, Lon
don, New York and Chicago, man
aging director of this new establish
ment, has already arrived in Omaha
and the object of his life for the
next four weeks, according to his
own declaration, is to make the bene-
fit dinner more wonderful than
Lucullus of Rome or Esccofler OF
France could have originated in their
most fruitful epicurean days.
Mr.. Muller is Swiss by birth. AT
II years of age he was page in
the Quirinal at Rome, the greatest
hotel in that historic city, favored by
royalty for their private fetes.

Charities Benefit to Set New Mark

Romanos, preferred by King Ed
ward and very popular among Eng
lish sportsmen. AS steward of Lord
Beresford he later toured the world,
becoming familiar with all the del
icacies afforded by India, Australia
and New Zealand, where prolonged
visits were made.
Cafe Martin in New York was
the first American restaurant with
which Mr.. Muller was identified.
After a successful experience as
manager there, he went to Chicago
where he took charge at the Con-
gress hotel, remaining until the op-
ening of the La Sale in 1909. In
1918 he returned to the Congress,
leaving only to open a place of his
own, the Seville, a high-class res
taurant on Sheridan road. This he
sold to come to Omaha and open
the Brandeis cafe in September.
The charities dinner will be his
debut as a managing director in
Omaha. His great pride in his work
as an art will lead him to no limit
in presenting something unusual to
Omaha on this occasion-"the equal
of anything in New York." it will
be, he assures. Every man in the
kitchen will be an artist" Mr..
Mueller has said. He has secured
one chef from the Blackstone in
Chicago and another from the Ritz
in London.
"All we have to do is sell tickets, VI
said Mrs. Baldrige. Those who
make reservations early will get pre-
ferred or 'ringside' seats next to the
dance floor" The public is invited
to attend this affair, which will not
be full dress. Mrs. J. ]. McMullen
Harney 1922, is taking reservations;
tickets at Matthews book and Bea-
tons drug stores.

Musician Returns
to Omaha to
Reside

Stanislav Lctovsky, wcll-known
pianist of this city, returned
from Europe a year ago to reside
with his parents at Florence. Dur
ing his sojourn abroad he had un-
usual experiences as composer and
conductor, according to his friends.
1t is planned that he will appear in
recital here at the Fontenele Octc-
Der 4. Mr.. Letovsky will reside
here during the coming winter and
will open a studio in Omaha. He

"There is nothing occult or mystic

most of us haven't realized yet the

WHY Negotiate?

DR.. H. c.. R. Norriss Of Sharon takes issue with
The Herald with reference to the desirability of hav-
ing Senator Borah act as one of the American dele
gates to the approaching disarmament conference.
The Herald has expressed the opinion that while
Senator Borah has contributed greatly to the focus
ing Of attention on the subject Of armament reduc-
ton and has thus performed !. valuable public! ser
vice, he would not be a desirable conference dele
gate because of his known intractability and his ten
dency to act, as was stated, as a bull in a China shop.
DR.. Norriss can see no sense in this and he cx-
presses his dissent quite emphatically.
The first part of his article relating to social,
industrial and educational conditions here and else
where does not seem to bear very directly on the
subject, but in one paragraph he declares that all the
nations of the world are willing to accept the rule Of
right and that we are in a position now to say to
the world that we are going to accept that rule and
that it is up to other nations to do likewise.
1t this is the course of procedure to be followed,
why confer at all? If there is to be no adjustment,
no fitting of policies together, no consideration of
mutual conditions and mutual needs, no concessions
to be made anywhere, Senator Borah would be an
admirable member Of the. conference. It would be
necessary for him only to state what must be done
and the other nations might like it or lump it, as they
saw TIT. That being the situation, a conference would
seem to be a waste of time, of effort and of money.
We can just as we'll write letters to the other nations
telling them what we are going to do and demand
that they do likewise. We take il, however, that an
other policy will be followed, and that it is the pur-
pose OF all governments represented at this confer
ence to enter in good faith into negotiations. which
shall. 50 tar as possible harmonic differences without
sacrificing vital interests or vital principles. AS Mr..
Borah has never been known as a harmonizer, the
Herald adheres to its expressed opinion that he
would not be a suitable member Of that gathering
it is pleased to note that there is not the slightest
probability OF his appointment.

DOORS YET OPEN

Through the multitude Of words which cloud
rather than clear the atmosphere it is difficult to dis
Germ clearly the form which the Irish negotiations
are taking. It is apparent, however, that both par
ties entertain the hope that a basis of agreement can
be reached. and while the door remains open it is al
ways possible that peace may enter and take up her
permanent abode.
The declaration Of De Valera that his party has
not rejected dominion home rule needs interpreta-
ton. The offer of the British government was re-
jected. The terms of that offer declared it to be an
offer of dominion home rule similar to that enjoyed
by the other dominions of the empire, with special
conditions which the government believed to be es-
sential in view Of the geographical and other condi-
lions which apply in the case Of Ireland, and which
do not apply to the other doninions.
The declaration that the dominion plan has not
been rejected is based. doubtless, on the claim that
what was offered is actually not the. dominion form
OF government at all.
One ofythe Sim Fein assertions in this connec-
ton is unfounded, namely, that the right Of the do
rninions of the British empire to secede is conceded.
There has been no such concession. Such secession
has never been an issue. What would happen if
Canada or Australia were to determine to secede is
problernatical. 1t is possible that the imperial gov
eminent would acquiesce in an act of separation, but
It SO 1T would be on the basis of present conditions
and present necessities, and not on any previously
accepted theory of the right of separation.
Another point stressed by De Valera is that
whatever offer has been madesis not to ireland, but
toa part of Ireland. Sim Fein insists on a united
Ireland. The government is willing, but Ireland is
not. A section of Ireland has accepted and is now
operating under a provincial form of government
satisfactory to itself. The British government has
formulated plans for the inclusion Of Ulster under
a single government with the rest of Ireland, but
Ulster will have none Of it, and the British authors
ties have declared that they will not force Ulster
INTO such, an arrangement against her will.
The situation now appears to be that Sim Fem
considers Ireland a country in all respects separate
from and FOREIGN 70 fhn Prif;eh ar,o;ro# h,,% 3. ,,,:f1
ing that all Ireland shall enter the empire on terms
which may be arranged. The British government
holds that ireland is already within the empire and
that one section is already provided for. Provision
will be made by negotiation for the other part, the
only indispensable condition being that Ireland re
main a part of the empire. AS things now stand it
appears that the Ulster problem is the k~nottiest one
to be solved.

WORLD CROP PRosPEcrs.

According to information supplied by the feder
al government, the 90 countries which produce thu
great share OF the worlds wheat will produce some
what less than was indicated BY the prospects ear
ller in the summer, but a. little more than in 1920
The yield for last year was 2,384,143, 600 bushels
while the production this year, with harvest prac.
t1cally completed, is given as 2,461 ,43O, 900 bushels
Inc 70 countries included in the list produce close
to 20 per cent of the worlds wheat.
Although the. long-sustained drought through
out the greater part Of the Northern Hemisphere was
a serious menace to the various crops in many coun-
tries, the fall-sown wheat has not been affected ad-
versely SO much as was at first supposed. On the
contrary, the fali-soWn wheat managed to obtain a
trim hold on the soil and a fairly vigorous growth
before the beginning Of the drought.
Nearly all OF northern and central Europe will
nave larger wheat crops this year than last. accord
ing to the last estimates made by the bureau. Belgi-
UNI and Greece being the oniy- countries in winch
smaller crops are expected.
Outside Of Europe, British Erdis was mos. Ger
iously affected by the drought. The dryness and
not winds that have prevailed Throughout most o,
the growing season have resulted i'm the very 1o,,
yield OF 25O,469,000 bushels OF wneat. or about So
ooV,ooo ousnels less than the quantity normally con-
suTed IN that country. With the rice crop also ser
lously affected, India is expected to import wheat
TINS year instead OF exporting it, In an average wear
before the world war, India exported over 5000
900 bushels of wheat,
In Canada the total yield of speing wheat is es-
OuSHClS, OE WHICH Zb4. Ii .OUU
bushels were grown in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
q very unsatisfactory feature in the present in
ternational situation is the hopeless condition Of the
RUSSIAN crops. Unofficial reports state that during
last autumn and the spring Of this year only a very
small area was sown to the various crops, resulting
IN a failure to produce sufficient food for the coun.
try,s needs. t IS also reported unofficially that a
considerable amount of wheat will vet be imnorted
by Russia this year. But up to the present time the
amount OF wheat, as well as other foodstuffs. which
will be imported is conjectural and the Bureau 81
Markets and Crop Estimates is unable to make 4
definite statement concerning it.
In northern Africa, the wheat crop was pener-
ally larger than last year. In Algeria, threshine e
suits show a better yield than was expected carrier
IN the season. In Tunis. bad weather reduced Yields

tory. According Tto 4estirnates published BY tie IN

THE GNAT AND THE ii

s. "a. Olsness, state commissioner Of insurance
has issued z warning to the people Of North Dakota
against certain alleged insurance swindlers who
he has reason to believe, are about TO launch opera.
tons in this state.
: The issuance Of this warning is entirely proper
but It would have been ! good idea If the state ad.
ministration had inaugurated the policy Of issuing
such warnings a little earlier. After having permit,

would seem that for the Nonpartisan league admin
istration to raise its voice against the present petty
swindle is another case of straining at the gnat and
swallowing the camel.
Evidently the slippery. gentlemen who arc
working this alleged insurance graft are not mem
bers Of the Nonpartisan league.

NO MORE OPEN HEARINGS.

There is likely to be a loud protest over the de-
cls1ons OF the senate finance committee to hold no
more open hearings on the tax bill, and on the prob
ability that open hearings will be discontinued bv
committees OF both houses.
The public hearing on a pending measure has
provided a magnificent opportunity for individuals
and groups of individuals specially interested to get
their views before the public. And one of the at
tIactlye things about it is that it has provided a
means OF propaganda without cost except to the
government, and, through the government. to the
general public. -
Most of the time devoted to public hearings bv
congressional committees is taken up BY profession

bylsts are printed and distributed at public EXPENSE
his occurs usually twice in the consideration
OF any measure, once before the senate committee
and once before the house committee where, as a
rule, these voluminous dissertations are duplicated
word tor word, and are printed in reports of hear
lngs OF both committees, thus inhicting a terrific
printing bill on the tax payers of the %countryI
Last year the congress spent over $65, 600 en-
