clared that Abbey was fool 20 take
,uch chances with tho moral American
public.
We must bear in mind that at tho be-
ginning OF the SOS we had not &C
ouired the thin veneer Of sophistica-
tlon by which so many Of our advanced
thinkers arc now distinguished. Tho
church element was not as friendly 70
tho stage as IL is now. and the number
or persons who pridcd themselves on
the fact that they had never entered
tho doors Of O. playhouse was sur
pr.singly large. Therefore, the adver-
tised appearance OF a woman who re-
fcrrod 10 her son as her petit acei-
dent" aroused q storm Of opposition,
and caused innumerable excellent men
and women 10 declare that 10 was n
SIN 20 witness stage performance Of
such a woman. WHOM Mary Anderson
could be seen FOR q less price. But
Abbey had not studied public opinion
in vain. and in his eyes all publicity re-
lating TO this most unusual woman was
worth money.
Curiosity, which always plays a sig
nineant part In the makeup OF the
American mind, vas raised to the nth
power long before the steamer bearing
the illustrious artists started for this
country. The usual excursion down the
bay 20 meet the incoming boat and
enable q swarm Of reporters to Chamber
% its side was matter Of such in
tense public interest that columns Of
newspaper space were devoted TO It's
recital. No society leader had the
hardihood TO offer to entertain this
most eminent OF actresses but, n my
memory serves me right, Mr. Bob Cut
ting. the father Of the one who in more
recent years had a brief stage career
gave a dinner for her at which only
men were present. Bot this lack Of
social recognition did not disturb either
Mr. Abbey or his star. Tor both knew
that the pronounced hostility OF the
pious element would arouse q support
ing both Of even greater size.
Il was therefore with a great volume
OF popular discussion behind her that
Madame Bernharit in the character Of
Adrienno Lecouvreur faced the first Of
her many American audiences on that
well remembered night. Well do ]
remember the occasion, and never DC
fore nor since have seen such an un-
usual assemblagc. D. included persons

A Mysterious Race

II would be a mistake TO assume
from a casual reading of the ad-
cress by Professor Roland B. Dixon
before the American Association
for the Advancement of Science
that African negroes were the first
inhabitants Of the American con-
tinent. His theory is that among
the ancestors Of the American In
dians Of to-day are members Of the
so-called negroid-australoid race,
which inhabited the mainland and
islands Of southeastern Asia and
Australia. In external charaeteris-
ties this group is thought to be af-
hliated TO the negroid races Of
Africa. And his theory is only a
theory.
The interesting thing about Pro-
fessor Dixon's idea is not so much
the Australian or Asiatic origin Of
such a negroid-australoid race as it
Is that the American Indian is the
product Of successive waves Of diff
ferent types Of people. Besides this
austrslOid group he believes be has

from the outside only by a program
which is well fortified in both these
respects.
Unemployment IN Europe

Unemployment in Europe de-
creased materially in 1922. 1t hardly
exists in some countries--Germany,
France and Belgium, for example.
It is still acute in two countries
which have made the fullest Gnan-
cial recovery, as marked by the cx-
change value Of their currency
Great Britain and Czeeho- -Slovakia.
According TO figures recently COM
piled in Paris, there are practically
no idle workers in France and there
has been little unemployment there
since the armistiee. In Belgium the
percentage Of idle was 81 in May,
1921; in January, 1922, IL was 11.2;
in August last IL was only 4. Ger
many's percentage in July was 0.6
and in August OF. Out Of 14,0O0,-
600 German workmen there were
only 1927 this fall hunting for
jobs.
Great Britain has been carrying a
huge unemployment burden. In
June, 1921, there were 2,177,000
workers idle and 99s 900 partly idle.
Last August the number Of idle was
I 1.37s,O0O and Of partly idle $4,000.
The pound sterling has advanced
sharply toward par, showing finan-
cisl readjustment. But industrial
recovery lsgs behind. Great Britain
still has surplus Of industrial
workers, undrained by emigration.
The Czecho-Sloyakian crown has
also appreciated. But the new re-
public has now about 10000 men
out Of work. Last July the situation
was better, 25,950 unemployed re-
i ceiving allowances from the state
and $4,000 being aided from private
sources. Austria is PROSTATE, finan-
cially and economically. Vienna
alone had 10000 unemployed last
May, about as many as all Germany.
Poland's mark has shriveled in
value. Idleness there is also on the
decrease. Last February $4,000
unemployed we're reported. In June
the total had fallen TO 100000.
Italy, too, has taken a big turn for
the better. Last July there were
only 407, 900 out Of work, compared
with 100000 six months earlier.
Switzerland's unemployed decreased
from $4,000 in February TO $4,000
at the end Of July. Holland has
overcome unemployment. In the
Scandinavian countries the percent
age Of idle is now almost normal.
Despite pessimism and political fric-
ton Europe is mending beneath the
surface, although the healing proc
ess is unobtrusive and slow.

Of social and intellectual cminenee

Paris; o still larger number who de-
sired to sec II she were really as thin
as the papers reported on II she looked
quite ua startling as she was; the usual
body-guard OF professional critics and
gallery full Of excited French people
Tho outbur.t Of welcoming applause
was of unprecedented viCor and dura'
lion and was succeeded. after the brief
est moment Of silence. by the sound
OF voice as clear as silver bell
Accustomed as she was to such dem
onstratioas. the actress showed no
signs OF special emotion and probably
did not feel g., but there came mo-
ment when, as she confessed after
ward. she was startled from her usual
calm. suddenly, in the midst Of a
scene taat had held her auditors abso-
lutely silent. there came "a noise Ike
the sweep 81 wind through forest,
while q grcat white way" seemed 20
sweep oyer the house. Not until the
close Of thc performance did any one
appear 20 explain these phenomena.
The spectators had come provided with
,ranslations OF the play In broad
pamphlet form. and il was the turning
OF tho first page IN every part OF the
house at the same instant that created
tho rustling sound and the appearance
Of whitc-capped waves.
So many aud varied were the schemes
for attracting notice devised by this
incompatible artist aud show woman
during her subsequent seasons here
that 10 is impossible TO cnumerate
them. may however mention one
which she employed when she returned
here about dozen years ago. Al
though conscious of the American
fondness FOR youthful stage talent
even when IL is immature. she made
no attempt to disguise her age. On
the contrary. she greeted every re-.
porter who welcomed her on the
steamer with outsirctehed hand. say
ing: would you believe IL, the captain
OF the steamer gave a dinner last night
in honor Of my sixty-sixsh birthday!
Yes. am sixty-six years Of age"
This bic Of Information was tele-
graphcd 20 every city IN The land, the
result being that when she did appear
her audiences were surprised and de.
Lighted 70 find her looking so young.

Let II be remembered, moreover thai
Nine. Bcrnhardt is almost the only
great actress Of our times whose intel

No foreign star who has appeared

France Wants to Live"
She Canno, Force Full Reparations
Without Compensaling Aid

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Tho very editors and Senator's
who clamor for reduction By France
II tho amount justly due her By Ger
many for reDarations for premeditated
rayagcs arc at least equally clamorous
that the United States shall not sbate
By dollar tho debts which France and
tho other Allies owe this country FOR
tho cost Of American munitions used

tered il. Under their pressure Coz
gress has tied the hands OF the Ad-
ministration as regards any adjust
mcnt Of inter-Allicd debts, supposedly
IN order 90 get them paid in full. al
though actually payment is made
thereby wcllnigh impossible.
Yet these editors and Senator'S must
know that 10 would be suicidal for
rrance 20 take out Of the asset side
on her balance sheet any part OF the
claim for reparations for which she
has had to advance TO date some
$1,000. 100000, in view OF Germanys
failure to pay, as long as on the liabili-
ties side there remains the item Of
SO, 500 100000 due the United States for
war debts So far the owners Of Gcy'
man wealth. both inside and outside Of
Germany. have succeeded by the sys-
;cmaGc evasion OF tsxation in contrib
utirg nothing toward repara,ions while
Increasing their wealth enormously.
They do not intend 10 pay.
What. then, do these editors and
Senators want? That France should
consent to do more for Germany than
he United States is willing TO do for
France?
The aforesaid editors and Senators
arc loudly clamorous that France shall
even further reduce her army and shall
give up the protection Of the Rhine.
which has proved 20 fur the only ef-
feetive barrier against recurring Ger
man inyasions. OF which France has
experienced an average Of two cen
tury for 1000 years But the self
SAME editors and Senators are even
more emphatic IN the demand that the
United States shall have no part IN any
arrangement whereby France shall be
ssured and Germany warned that any
German attack on France will he re-
sisted By the combined eFor-s Of the
rrcnt powers which with France in
deed. thanks chiefly 10 her sacrifices
faved their common liberties from The
threat OF German domination. What
do these editors and Senator'S expcct2
