la vida de la Mata Hari, la bailari.la
india que, acusada de espionaje Pei
los franceses, fue fusilada una mana
ma de octubre del ano 1917.
No ha podido elegir Blasco Ibanez,
que tiende internacionalizar cuanto
escribe de un tempo esta parte, te-
ma mas sensational, no solo para los
franceses, sino para todos los demas
pueblos que tomaron parte en- la gran
guerra que tienen puestos sus ojos
en- la nueva obra del escritor espanol.
Precisamente, ha habido gran re-
vuelo en- Paris estos dias con motive
un drama de Carlos Enrique Hirsch,
LA bailarina roja", que tiene por
tema este mismo: la vida y muerte
de la Mata Hari. Sc dijo que la obra
contenia conceptos ofensivos para los
combatientes de la gran guerra, y el
autor viose obligado a hacer publica
manifestation de que todos los perso
najes de SUI obra eran fruto de su ina
ginacion en- modo alguno evocacion

die que con ella hubiese tenido con-
)tacto.
Las cosas, por fortuna, Sc han ARE

traen un suelto que asi dice:

director de asistir la representation
de "La bailarina roja", declaran, des-
pues de haber visto la obra, que en-
ningun momento de ella hay NADIA
offensive para el honor de los comba-
tientes de la gran guerra
Blasco Ibanez, pues, ha elegido un
tema que ha de darle gran vuelo su
obra. iComo 10 trata? Lo ignore.

Mata Hari herofna como miss Cawel,
cual pretenden los alemanes, una
Mata Hari cortesana Y vendida al es-
pionaje por un punado de miles de
marcos? Hay que Greer, sin embar-
go, que ell escritor espanol, cordial
amigo, de Francia, no presentara una
Mata Hari bajo ell primer aspecto, 81
no bajo el segundo.
De todas suertes, la figura de la
Mata Hari esta LENA de relieve, de
color de teatralidad. La Mata Ha
ri no fue solo una cortesana, una
gran cortesana que, en- un principle,
vendia en- 10000 frances sus caricias,

The actual distance we travelled by
motor on the continent was 1900 miles.
We made it point to talk with the
representatives of governments, the
leaders of opposition parties. bankers,
economists and Journalists. We saw
the peasant in his fields, shopkeepers in
villages and the cures in remote sec
tions. We gained best we could. the
conflicting viewpoints of the vict0r3 and
the vanquished and left the continental
situation feeling that time would lie
necessary for true perspectl2e to
form and shape.
In the equation, France plays an im-
portant part. She suffered mora than
any other nation. During the last days
OF the war. it was a common express
sion that France was bled white. She
lost one million dead, one out of every
forty of her population.
On the trip from the Havre to and
beyond Rouen. the country was astir

farms were in their Sunday dress. 1t was
observed that four-fifths of the adult
women wore crepe. We passed through
mere hamlet where a monument to
the heroic dead OF that immediate vi
cinity had Just been unveiled. There
were engraved on it 60 names. This
gave US the first intimate realization
Of the tremendous losses sustained.

In Europe
tsy The Associated Prsss)

Washington, Oct. 10.-Carrying forward
its program to meet the emergency and
relieve suffering among the refugees in
the Near East, the American Red Cross
has cabled orders to all of its nurses
now on duty in Vienna, Budapest, Paris
and Constantinople to hasten to Athens
for service in the relief operations An
ganization in further lnce of it's efforts
in the Near East was made tonight by
Chairman John Barton Payne at the con-
Vention OF the Red Cross here
Chairman Payne told the convention
that while there would be joint appeal
for funds for the Red Cross and the Near
East Relief, control Of the funds is to be
vested generally in the Red Cross It will
take the "entire responsibility of dealing
with the situation in Europe; that is in
Greece and on the islands and at Con-
stantinople," he said. IT have been ad-
vised by the secretary of state" Chair
man Payne continued, that the refugees
have been driven on to the European side
so that the emergency exists in Europe
and not in Smyrna.
Has 100000 Orphans
''The Near East Relief has large task
in dealing with orphans. I think it has
something like 100. 900 orphans which
forms for it a definite and perma :
nent task. But if there is an emergency,
that is, if there are people in Smyrna or
at any other point in Asia Minor who re-
quire emergent attention it will be given
by the Near East Relief
The convention today heard in addition
to Chairman Payne's outline of the erner-
gency program, addresses by Miss Mabel
T. Boardman, national secretary of the
| Red Cross. and DR.. Livingston Farrand,
former chairman of the organization and
now president of Cornell University.
Several resolutions were adopted, among
| them one calling for closer cooperation
with the veterans bureau in the handling
| of claims Of disabled former service men.
| The work Of the organization in peace
! time served as a moot question, there
being a difference of opinion as to the
| length the Red Cross should go with a
| program outside of meeting emergency
demands such as is presented in the Near
| East situation.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1o-Sensa-
tionaI gains in the prices Of shares
of companies in the Standard Oil
group during the past week in re-
sponse to the announcements of
proposed stock dividends by two
companies, and rumors of such
action by several more, have re-
suited in an appreciation of nearly
$1,000,o0o,Ooo in quoted values
above the low prices of the year.
This remarkable increase without
precedent in the annals of Wall
street, is the result of extensive
speculation, which has extended to
shares of other oil companies and
