Quite Safe.-A man entered a very

heavy book, almost a small trunk, on
the parcels rack.
A nervous passenger was sitting be-

him, said:

"Oh, yes" responded the owner quite
cheerfully; "it's locked"

And there he is the breathless mes
senger! Before he can speak, Jere-
miah trembles with fear. "The enc
my is victorious. The Egyptians have
parleyed with him. Nebuchadnezar
is marching towards Jerusalem!"
The crowd cries out terror-stricken
In the name of the king herald
calls to arms. And jeremiah, the all
too-truthful visionary, from whom
the frightened people recede, implores
God vainly to convince him of a lie.
Scene w. The Eve on the Rampant
A moonlit night on the walls of
Jerusalem. The enemy is at the foot.
In the distance Samaria is burning.
Gilgal is in flames. Two sentinels
are talking with each other. One,
professional soldier, does not and will
not see farther than his range of
duty; the other, who seems one of
our brothers of today, tries to under
stand and his heart is heavy:
"Why does God hurl the people
against each other? Is there not
room enough under the sky? What
are the nations? What brings death
to the peoples? Who sows hatred
when there is so much room for life
and so much pasture for love? do
not understand. God cannot will that
crime. He has given us life to live
. War does not come from God.
Where does it come from? =. ;"
He thinks he could talk with
Chaldean; they would understand
each other. Why should they not
talk? He feels like calling one, like
offering him his hand. The other SOL
dier wakes indignant:
"Thou wilt not do that. They are
our enemies. We must hate them"
"Why should hate them when my
heart does not know how"
"They have been the aggressors;
they began the war"
eyes, this is said in Jerusalem; but
perhaps the same is said in Babylon.
If one spoke together, perhaps light
would come. Whom do we serve by
their death?"
"We serve our king and our God"
"But God has said and it is writ
ten: Thou shalt not kill"
"He has also said: Eye for eye and
tooth for TOOTH" (sighing) $50 much
stand it all?"
he continues W ldlHeHC dlouu. Lie
other tells him to be quiet.
"How can one help questioning,
worrying at this hour? Do I know
where I am and how much more wax
ing time have? Why should not
question life, since I am alive? Per-
haps death is already within me and
is questioning and it is no longer
life. :"
"That is of no use except to tor
ment ITSELF"
"God has given us heart that it
may torment ITSELF"
jeremiah and Baruch appear on the
ramparts. jeremiah leans down and
looks about. Whatever he sees, these
fires, innumerable tents, this first
night of the siege, he has dreamed it
before. Not star in the sky that he
had not seen in it's place.
He can no longer deny that he has
been chosen by God. He must speak
to the king, for he knows what the
end will be and he sees it already,
describes it in visionary verse.

A Review of Stefan Zwiegs Poetic Drama Jeremiah
BY ROMAN ROLAND

our own preoccupations in this epic
of the fall of Jerusalem, but in the
manner of those believers of past CEN
turtles who daily discovered in the Bible
the light which illumined their path
in hours of indecision; sub specie act
ernitatis.
Jeremiah is our prophet" said Ste
fan Zweig to me. "He spoke for US,
for our Europe. The other prophets
came in their time: Moses spoke and
acted; Christ is dead and has acted;
jeremiah has spoken in vain. His
people did not understand him. His
time has not come. He could not him
der anything. Just as we."
But there are defeats more fertile
than victories, and sorrows more
luminous than joys. Zweig's poem
presents them with grandeur. At the
end of the drama, Israel, crushed,
leaving it's city in ruins, enters upon
the path of exile leading it through
the ages, full of spiritual joy never
known before and strong through it's
sacrifices, which have given it the con-
seriousness of it's mission.
Scene |
The first scene is called the awak-
ening of the prophet. A night in
early spring. Everything is calm.
jeremiah, suddenly aroused by Wis
ion of Jerusalem in flames, ascends
the terrace which dominates his house
and the city. He is obsessed by
surrounds him. He does not under
stand that savage force that grumbles
within him; he knows that it comes
from God and he awaits His COM
mand, tortured by anxiety, by hallu-
cinations. The voice of his mother
who calls him seems to him the voice
of God. Before his frightened moth
or he prophesies the fall of Jerusalem.
She implores him to be silent, his
words irritate her as though they
were sacrilege, and to make him
cease, she curses him if he should
dare to spread his sinister forebod-
ings. But jeremiah is no longer him
self; he follows the invisible Master.
Scene II. "The Waiting"
In the big square in Jerusalem be-
fore the Temple and the palace of the
King, the people acclaim the Egyp-
ton ENJOYS, who have come to the
wedding of the king Zedekiah and a
daughter of Pharoah, and to effect an
alliance against the Chaldeans. Abb
melek, the general; Pashur, the High
Priest, and Hananja, the official
prophet, whose false oracles cater to
popular passions, excite the crowd.
One of the most rabid among those
clamoring for war is young Baruch.
jeremiah tries to stem the tide. He
condemns war. They Immediately ac-
cuse him of being bribed by the gold
of Chaldea. The false prophet Han
anja celebrates the holy war, the war
of God.
"Do not mingle the name of God
with war;" says jeremiah. "It is not
God who leads in war, it is man.
No war is sacred, no death is sacred,
sacred is only life"
"Thou Hest, thou liestw cries

The people are elated by the hope

burning with rage. He comes from
the Royal Council where the major
ity has decided against an alliance
with Egypt. In his indignation he
throws down his sword. The youth
Of Israel, through the voice of Bar
UGH, salutes him as a national hero.
The High Priest blesses him. The
Prophet demagogue Hananja rouses
the people and the crowd surges to-
wards the palace of the king to force
him into declaration of war. Jere-
miah tries to bar the way to the
bowling mob. He is thrown down.
Young Baruch strikes him with his
sword and the crowd rushes on.
But Baruch stops beside his victim.
He wipes the blood from the wound
and asks his pardon. jeremiah
thinks only of following the people
and raising the cry for peace. Bar
UGH is stupefied by this indomitable
courage; he had taken for a coward
him who scorned action and preached
peace.
"Dost thou not think that peace is
action and the action of all nations?
Day after day one has to wrench it
from the mouth of liars and the
heart of the mob. One has to stand
alone against them . Those that
want peace are in an eternal con-
flict."
Baruch is conquered:
81 believe in thee; for I have seen
thee give thy blood for thy word"
In vain jeremiah holds him aloof;
he doubts the wisdom of associating
him with his dreams and his fears.
Baruch clings to him and his ardent
faith joins that of jeremiah and
doubles it.
"Thou believest in me when
barely believe in my dreams :. Thou
makest my blood vibrate and hast
poured thy will into NINE Thou art
the first that believes in me, the
first born of my faith, the son of my
anguish"
With cries Of joy the people re-
there is to be war. In festive pro-
bre mien and naked sword; Hananja
fore the tabernacle, jeremiah cries
out to the king:
"Throw away the sword, save Jeru-

God!"
His words are drowned by the
clamoring crowds. He is cast aside.
But the king has heard him; he stops
and his eyes seek him who has cried
out; then he resumes his march and
ascends to the temple with his sword
at his side.
Scene III. 'The Tumult."
The war has begun. The crowd
awaits news. 1t chatters, catches
the words it likes and changes them
at will; wanting victory it imagines
it accomplished. With subtle art,
Zweig shows how a vague rumor
works upon the deluded soul of the
multitude and becomes instantly
more certain than truth. From mouth
to mouth are communicated all de-
tails, all dates of the false victory.
jeremiah, the defeat@st prophet, is
ridiculed. That bird of ill-omen is
told that the Chaldeans have been
crushed and their king Nebuchadnez-
ar killed. jeremiah, struck dumb,
thanks God that He has turned to rid
icule his lugubrious prophesies.

FORD ENDORSES
 CHOICE MADE IN
 MAYOR COUzENS
Declares He Is Just Right Kind of Man to Fill New
 berry's Shoes in Senate

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 2.-MayOr James Couzens, of Detroit, who next week will take the seat in the United States senate, relinquished by Tru- man H. Newberry, is the best man who could have been picked for the job in the opinion of Henry Ford. former employer of CoHzens. The seat to be taken by the Detroit mayor is the one sought four years ago by Mir. Ford, who was defeated at the polls by MT. Newberry.
 "CouZens is just the type of man needed in the senate, not only by Michigan, but by the whole country" the automobile manufacturer said in q statement tonight. He is a man of immense wealth and yet he still has the welfare of the public at heart. He is independent and fearless and likes nothing better than a fight for the common people against the spe- cial interests, which for years have been getting an evertightening grip on our government, both state and national.
 There are two things upon which MT. CouZens can be relied. He never will spend nickel for political ad- vtange. nor will he ever let a stupid party allegiance lead him into any situation Or commit him to any policy that he believes is not for the good of all the people. If Senator Couzens. instead of attempting to bring about the passage of additional federal laws, will strive for the repeal of an over whelming mass of obsolete and harm ful legislation, he will promote only a service of inestimable value to the country, but he will stand as one of the most conservative statesmen of his time"

 'The pernicious doctrine that the courts are dominated by the rich and powerful is fed to an element of peo- pie. who, by reason of deficient trad ing and highly sensitized class con- sciousness, are peculiarly susceptible to it's baneful influence.
 When man becomes thoroughly saturated with this distrust of the courts, he is no longer a good Ameri- can citizen. His mind is befogged with dark suspicious and he nurses fancied grievance against his gov ernment. He is converted into a fit instrument of disloyalty and treason.

Famous Baritone Says Sports Put

He plays golf summer and winter, in all kinds of weather. Last year in Detroit. Graveure started a game iust as snowfall began. He fin ished the course and managed to lose not only 15 golf balls but the clubhouse as well. He finally dis covered the latter.
 Primarily Graveure goes in for sport because he likes to. If he didn't, however, he would have to find something else which would give him what sport gives-the ex- tra reserve of vitality on which his success depends "The moment begin to get soft" says Mir Graveure the silver goes out of my voice You know that it is the edge of the voice which distinguishes one singer from another, and mine, un- usually for d baritone, hasn't the sombre, fluffy edge.
