London clubs are again in difficult
ties. When the war boom ended tho
same situation arose. and one or two
famous clubs succumbed, while others
met the crisis either by large in
crease in subscriptions or the admis-
sion Of women to club premises. Now
1t is shown that neither of these
measures was entirely successful, for
the simple reason that men no longer
go to their clubs to get away from
mid-Victorian women.
why should we flee the women?"
one clubman asked the NEW YORK
HERALD correspondent I'm the first
place men now like TO dance-with
women. In the second place, most
nice women. far from banning smok-
ers from their drawing rooms, smoke
themselves: and most women know
drink about what do, which Is mod
crate.
Even the club story has become al
most as extinct as the dodo, for women
no longer observe the false Victorian
reticences."
Hence the clubs OF London now sell
dom have regular habitues save crust Cd
bachelors and callow youths. The
Guards club is one OF the greatest
sufferers, 1t moved last year from small
quarters in Pail Mall TO large house

some talk OF appealing to Lord Las

A few years ago the wealth OF the
present husband Of the Princess Mary
helped TO avert crisis In the famous
bohemian club, Wells. from which he
withdrew soon after his Engagement was
announced. AS a Grenadier he is still
an active member OF the Guards. Even
generous patrons have not availed TO
keep other clubs alive. however.
Lord Cowdray three years ago bought

huge mansions in Piccadilly and gave
them as a free gift 20 the Royal Air
Force soon after the air force was
cut TO the bone, and though both for
mer and present officers are eligible. the
huge clubrooms are frequently almost
deserted.
Clubmen have about decided that the
only recourse is TO establish cabaret
shows. The men are not drinking as
heavily as they used. and there is now
adays little else 70 attract them to the
cloistered solltudes. Exceptions TO the
general hard times are the big political
clubs. like the National Liberal, the Re-
form and the Constitution. where poll

club. where squash courts sw. irning

No moro adverse criticism of the

her black colonials, please! Some day
when the nonwhite population reaches

be defeated by recourse to war, France
may become the savior OF the world.
At least, that is the novel suggestion
being propounded by Albert Sarraut,
one of the French delegates at the
Washington conference.
NJ. Sarraut foresees no possibility OF
the French colonials trying to separate
from tho motherland. but on the con-
trary finds an evident movement for
greater cohesion. with the colonials TAX.

But some day." he says "the vibra-
tions already felt Of the great colored
movement may present a tragic danger
to western civilization; and then will
be the time for France. because OF her
high moral discipline over her peoples.

tenn into humane and fruitful collab-

Dancers and dance hall proprietors or

edict that has just been issued by the
Catholic priests. apparently following the
receipt Of a letter from Rome. Not only
are dancers prohibited indulgence in fox
trots and tangoes at all times but dances
of any sort after marriage supper are
strictly forbidden, the clergy considering
that marriage as a provocation OF levity
among the younger wedding guests Is
not in keeping with the church's idea of
the sanctity of the event. Offenders VIII

A special anathema is laid upon dance
hall proprietors. who will be denied
deathbed confessionals unless they re-
pent the evil ways Of their business ana
leave instructions that it be closed up.
If by chance they should recover from
their illness special penance Is to be
eXacted. Failure to obey the church S
ukase prevents burial in Catholic
cemetery And as a final menace the
priests declare that the offspring of
either dance hall proprietors or their
clientele cannot be baptized at the hours
set for children whose parents are more
faithful to Christian precepts.

Berlin. Nov. 4. J
The German ultranadonaltsts see
In the Fascista victory proof OF the
incapacity Of democratic party gov
ernment and view It as a victory FOR
tho policy of force. Nationalists and
military leaders conferred with Benito
Mussolini last spring In an effort 10
learn the tactics Of the Fascist. They
also discussed with him the reasons
for the failure of the Kapp rebellion.
THE NEW York HERALD correspond
ent attended a recent meeting of Ger
man nationalists and secret military
organizations In Innsbruck, where
scheme to organize German force
along Fascista methods was approves
while the Germans at the same time
took measures to assist the F'asci IN
Tyrol.
An officer who accompanied Gen. Lu-
dendorff to this gathering told THE NEW
York HERALD correspondent that the
italian uprising proves the futility OF
the fddling methods of parliaments ana
ment throughout Europe. Germany
needs a strong military dictatorship to
suppress Bolshevism and restore order.
The question of a monarchy Is second
ary. because even a wise King could not
change the hard times. Gen. Ludendortf
has said that he sees the need Tor
strong dictatorship in Germany. but
with French approval, and one whose
efforts will be directed against Bolshev-
ism instead OF against the Allies"
The Bavarian military organizations
are adopting Fascista methods. They
receive the support Of the industrialists
and are pledged to operate against So
cjaljsts and Communists at home when
not fighting enemies abroad. Herr Slit
Ter. head of the Basarian factiona1st
socialists, has an organization which is
the largest in Germany. with SO'ooo
members who. like the Fascist have an
aversion for Parliament. their support
ers refusing even TO hold office. He also
favors the formation of national army.
"The formation of a substantial mid
die class force is essential" he says.
The underlying idea of the German Sc
cret military organizations Is one day to
revenge themselves against France.
Whether the German nationalists or
Fascist have an equal chance OF success
in Germany Is doubtful, because the al
lies control and the organizations are
crippled by inner factional differences.
The so-called factionalist socialists are
for the republic. while the other bands
are conspicuously monarchistic. There
Is n chance for reconciliation. however.
through a program OF a strong military
dictatorship and the abolition OF democ-
racies and parliaments.
