WALPOLE LECTURES
ON NOVEL BEFORE
A LARGE AUDIENCE
Noted English Novelist
Treats of Psychology and
Fiction Last Evening
TREATS SUBJECT
FROM 3 ANGLES
And Gives Criticisms of
Modern Writers And Con-
temporary Works

Psychology and Fiction va, the
topic of lecture given in Mead Mean
orial Chapel last night by Hugh Wal
pole, noted English novelist, before a
large and appreciative audience made
up of students and townSpeOple. Mr..
Walpole proved himself to be not only
an excellent lecturer but also an ad-
mifable critic of contemporary Eng
lish novelists and their works, and his
criticisms were at all times well bal
anced and fair. Unlike so many OF the
younger English novelists he displayed
a keen sense of humOur and his talk
was generously interspersed with anec-
dotes
Mr.. Walpole treated his subject
from three different angles He first
look up the part played by the psy-
1hology of humour in fiction and de
1lared that Dickens was the greatest
artist in the humorous field However,
he asserted that Dickens field was
limited to the psychology of external
humour and that he betrayed himself
when he tried to deal with internal
psychology of humour He brought
out the fact that in every case our
humourlst writer's have limited their
ield to the external 50 that we know
little of the inner working of humour
He discussed at length the part
played by incident and the novel of
incident He ventured the opinion
that this was the less highly developed
of the three types because of the fact
that one incident was followed so
closely by the next that there was
little chance for spiritual treatment of
he subjects.
As for the psychology of characters
he said that this was by far the most
wonderful of all as it required real
understanding of human beings and
heir natures to create characters and
then create proper development for
them. He asserted that no novelist
had any claim to fame unless he had
in the course of writings, created a
great woman character He mentioned
Thomas Hardy as the greatest ex-
ponent OF this field as his woman char
acters were the most truly realistic
and human Of any writer

Husband at Bedside Pleads
With Her to Live for His
Sake - Death Within "A
Hours, Doctors at Hospital
Say.

Mrs. Maude Fancher, who killed her
infant and poisoned herself to aid her
husband as spirit, is not expected
to live twenty four hours it was said
at City Hospital, Newark, this after
noon. Her will to die is n factor in
fastening her approach to death She
has talked little during the past
twelve hours, but has reiterated her
wish to join her child, Cecil, in the
world of spirits.
Mr.. Fancher was admitted to his
wife's bedside this afternon and re-
NAMED ten minutes. When he came
out he said:
II begged her to try to live for my
sake. I told her / would forgive
everything. She told me she didn't
want to live; that she wanted TO join
Cecil. She said If she did live she
hoped it would be only for q few
minutes"
Mr.. Fancher said he thought she
meant that she would like to be with
him and the dead child for a few
minutes.
He said he believed his wife was
near death, that she talked only in
whispers, and he had to wait long
intervals to get replies.
In addition to the lysol poisoning
she has bronchial pneumonia and
pulmonary oedema.
Letters written by Mrs. Fancher
said she believed because of an eX-
perience at spiritualistic seance that
the dead can direct the living and she
hoped to guide her husband from be-
yond the grave, to see him happily
married again and the father of an
other son.
She is under police guard but nc
formal charge has been placed against
her.
Her husband. who doesn't believe IN
spiritualism, said when he went to
the hospital to see her last night, she
told him of a chop and potatoes she
had left for him, but he threw them
| away, fearing she had poisoned them
to take him along with her. He said
she was distantly related to an Indian
Chief, White Feather, of what tribt
he did not know.

GIANT WATER SPOUT.
CHASES CARMAN|A
FOR HALF AN HOUR
Mile-High Spiral Gives Cunard
Passengers Thrill of a Life
time at Sea.

The Cunard liner Carmania re-
turned to port to-day after q round
trip voyage to the Near East, and,
after passing through various climes
and cimaxes, gave to her passengers
three days ago the thrill of their lives
when she was chased by a water
spout
The ship was about 500 miles east of
New York and most of the passengers
were lolling about the deck. when of
a sudden a commotion was observed
in the sea perhaps eight miles to the
southwark.
Some invisible force appeared to be
pulling the ocean into the sky, twist
ing and turning the waves like the
ribbons of a Maypole, the CLINT of the
sun showering them with the colors
of the rainbow. Capt. G. w. Nelson.
who has sailed the Seven Seas these
many years. promptly pronounced the
heaving and weaving mass of waves a
water-spout.
Passengers crowded aft and gazed In
wonder and awe upon the whirling
mass of water whizzing toward them.
Capt Nelson assured them that there
was no danger and then rang to go
ahead at full speed. The water-spout
grew until 1t was fully 500 feet in
diameter and mile high. Speculation
of what would happen II 1t ever over
took the ship brought shivers to the
watching crowd on the Carmania' s
deck.
The mass seemed to be gaining on
the ship and for fully half an hour the
excitement on the Carmania was in
tense. Then the great fountain sub
sided. the masses of water tumbling
back to their native ocean.

Standard Oil magnates and founder OF

awe inspiring sights he had ever seen.
Capt. Nelson was asked what would
have happened had the wateT-spout
hit the ship.

never tell you. That is, wouldn't
be here to tell you and the Carmania
would have been listed as missing at

SOVIET AND ALLIES
REACH AGREEMENT
ON RUSS|A'S DEBTS
Pre-War Obligations Will Be
Recognized Under Terms
Made at Genoa.

GENOA, April 10 Omitted Press).- -
The Allied and Russian delegates to
the Genoa Economic Conference
reached a complete agreement on
the liquidation of Russia's old debts
this afternoon.
The Soviet delegates agreed TO
recognize as valid all of Russia's
debts contrated previous to the war.
This is victory for Premier Lloyd
George. who hopes to make successful
conclusion of the debt transactions the
preliminary to recognition of Russia
and finally to an agreement whereby
European nations would pledge them
selves to refrain from attacking each
other for a term of years

settlement of the Russian question
was registered by the Economic Con-
ference to-day, conference LEADERS, de-
clared.
Prime Minister Lloyd George ex-
pressed this view in one of his char
acteristic f1gurative utterances, SAY
ing:
We are building a bridge across
the stream. We have driven some
of the piles; we are now in the
deepest part of the current and
are driving them into the mud at
the bottom. Although the bridge
is not yet above water, the piles
are firmly fixed. and we are still
hammering at them.
The, Russians presented to day con
crete financial proposals in which they
say they are in perfect accord with
the Allies over the urgent necessity of
establishing a monetary basis in all
countries, putting an end to "feudal-
ism," which they declare is reigning
especially in the matter of exchanges.
The Russians agree to the necessity
of each country balancing it's own
budget, curtailing paper currency and
reducing expenses. especially those for
ornaments.
The 'Soviet delegates urge an
accord to establish q
permanent purchasing power for their
currency, which they declare should
become the basis for other European
currencies. They insist upon the ne
cessity of granting credits or loans OF
gold to states whose financial condi-
tions are bad They give as an ex-
ample the American Federal Reserve
Banks, which they say might put part
of their gold reserve at the disposal
Of central banks of countries needing
It, doing this by lending gold or by
opening special credits.
The Russians also propose an inter-
national monetary convention whose
object would be to fix a stable ratio.
