Sarah Bernhardt will appear
In a play written by her grand
daughter. That tells the story
OF Bernhardt's energy. She is
coming again to America, by
the way.
The mother of that Bern
hardt granddaughter Is the
Princess Jabloneska, who studied
at, Julien's in Paris, with Marie
Bashkirtseff. The Princess
mother was, q Polish countess;
her father was the old King OF
Italy, created by Garibaldi.
"My granddaughter possesses
great talent and is an exquisite
poetess," says Bernhard. No
wonder.
A new lineup in Europe, with
France the friend Of Turkey
Poland and Russia, against Eng
land. The next step, naturally,
will be British step toward
Germany, Austria, and Italy.
Then Europe will be all ready
for q new start and q new war.
Russia, as usual, will be the un-
certainty-she reserves the right
to change her mind and change
sides at any moment. Ihat Is
the revolutionary method.
Awhile ago war ended with
France and England in each
others arms, vowing eternal
friendship, Italy Disguised, as
she we'll might be, with her
allies treatment, Germany ana
Austria nowhere, Russia boy
cotted by all, and Turkey ap-
parently a thing of the past. :,
Then France sent weapons ana
money to the Turks to tight the
Greeks; back came Turkey, win
the allies bowling and yielding
politely to the "unspeakaoie
one. And now everything Is
changed. ,,.
Just one lesson for Uncle
Sam in all that. Let him atteno
to his own business, keep away
from Europe's complications,
and let our friends over there
fight and borrow from EACh

Many weep as the music clears

In savings banks prohibition
lists have an argument hard 10

hank statistics as final. In the

There are now $3,046,054,OOO in
savings bank accounts and

Encouraging figures, but those
opposed to prohibition may say
there are things more import
ant to progress than dollars
nut away. Time alone, about
ninety years, will tell what pro-
hibition actually means with
our kind of a mixed race.
