president. 1t is with difficulty
we avoid the suspicion that the
amount Of indemnity was deliber-
ately fixed at a sum which neither
Germany nor any other coun-
try could possibly pay, with the
intention Of making her inability
to pay, an excuse for applying q
policy of force.
How else explain Dariac's re-
mark, 1--WE cannot demand that
Germany pay enormous sums for
thirty-five years; on the other
hand, we fear to see her indus
tries develop in proportion
which would permit her to as
sumo payment of debts" This is
the acknowledged situation.
The interview closed with note
of optimism, explaining:

eminent will stand firm. The

show the world that the widely
divergent political parties are
standing solidly behind the gov
eminent.

ganize the industry of the Ruhr
potentates.
The utilization of the Ruhr is
undoubtedly the first aim of the
occupation.
CALLS 1T PRETEXT.
The second aim is also ex-
planned by Dariac-it is the con-
troll of German production. You
remember that he said. "As long
as we hold the right bank of
the Rhine we are masters of
$4,000, 900 tons of ore yearly and
will be in a position to play a
decisive role in the German metal
industry, demanding in return for
the ore the control of produc-
ton"
AS you see, the French gov
eminent is following literally the
Dariac program.
When you remember that dur
ing the negotiations with Aus.
tria in 1917, Pioncare demanded
territorial guarantees on the left
bank of the Rhine, and that dur
ing the peace conference when
Clemenceau demanded separation
of the Rhineland from Germany,
Marshal Foch said that the Rhine
must be the frontier between
Germany and the Western ma
tions, you will note their con-
siStency.
MOTIVES QUESTIONED.
Poincare publicly advocated the
same policy from the moment he
ceased to be president to the mo-
ment when he became minister.

MAN Jury ACQU|TS
WOMAN Of MURDER
Panel Selected on Pledge of
Ability to Disregard Sex
in Judging Case.

MINEOLA, n. Y, March 16.-With
smile on her face denoting the I'm
expressible happiness" she expressed
with her lips, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth
Wells walked out of the courtroom
early today a free woman. Just be-
fore midnight she was acquitted of
the murder of Capt. James NJ. Petit,
with whom she lived at Massapequa
Inn. which he kept.
The jury was out about five hours.
Mrs. Wells acquittal followed closely
with having murdered men with
whom they had been intimate. In
each case the trial jury was chosen
because of a professed ability to
judge testimony against women
charged with murder with their heads
rather than with their hearts.
Her two predecessors. Mrs. Lillian
Raizen and Mrs. Paulette Saludes,
unlike Mrs. Wells, admitted having
shot their victims to death. but plead
ed justification and mental instability.
At all times Mrs. Wells maintained
that she did not shoot Capt. Petit
Basis of Defense.
The basis of her defense was that
she had no reason to punish Petit
Her love for him was too great, she
pleaded.
Miss Helen Mccormick. one of Mrs.
Wells attorneys. told the jury the
state had not established a motive
against her client. The beatings Capt
Petit had given her were cited. 1t
was shown that he had taken all her
savings. $1,000. and squandered them,
and frequently in his delirium, threat
ened to kill her.
When this was in the record and
Mrs. Wells had been asked point
blank Did you kill Jim Pettie?" she
answered:

For the second time this season
John Charles Thomas, American bari

the numbers yesterday were new TO

The first group Of songs included

the exception of 20 Liebliche Wan
gen" and Beethoven's In Questa
Tomba Oscura." One felt that MT.
Thomas held his voice In too much
restraint in this group.
In the second group or French
songs. the first. "Au Pays" was given
with a dramatic fire and fine snadlns
dience. The most effective Of this
nroup. however. was Requiem de
Goeur," by Pessard. which was spe-
cially requested It was neau,aiuiay NJ day
lightful encore. "Mignon." by Pierne.
The next group. two fiery operate
arias, was quite the outstanding group
in the program. Both his high notes
with fine volume The first aria, "Bu-
rna Zaza." by Leoncavallo, was so
full OF sparkle and charm that the
audience demanded its repetition. ana
the second. Fri tn che Macchiayi,
gave Mr., Thomas the chance TO rise
to splendid dramatic heights.
The final group of songs, In Eng
1ish. was interesting. but not colorful.
Mr. Thomas displayed the same PEN
chant of several musicians this year
for the works of Eugene Goosens by
giving his Melancholy, dreary.
morbid song. Pearl Currsn's Noe
turne" was sweetly sung. and Mana
Iucca's vivid "Nichavo" was spirited
ly sung. The encores which followed
the final group of songs proved the
most popular of all Mr.. Thomas songs.
They were Tommy Lad" Passing
BY" and the "Sweetheart" waltz song
from "Maytime,' which has become
20 popularity associated with Mr..
Thomas that it Is practically consid-
cred his song. just as Mother Ma

Mr.. Thomas was given unusually
sympathetic accompaniment on the
piano by William Janaushek.

Mantell as king Lear.

King Lear" with Its story of the
monarch who gave too generously
and reaped tragedy for his reward.
represents the work of Shakespeare
al the height Of his career, and as 1t
reveals the master hand in plot and
character. it is dependent for its sue
ceSSful presentation upon the quality
of the acting and stage directing that
are employed to disclose the skill of
the playwright.
Mr. Mantell is one of the few stars
who have undertaken the task of pre-
sentiRg King Lear" with any great
degree of success. and for that rea-
son his appearance in the classic Is
always one cf the outstanding fea-
lures of his repertoire. His Lear. as
shown at the National last evening,
was completely devoid of artificiality
"a character which lived in the
minds of observers and stirred the
emotions. which aroused an intensity
OF interest in the development of the
plot.
1t is perhaps in King Lear" that
Shakespeare acknowledges most
strongly his Indebtedness to Greek
tragedy. wherein the unyielding de-
crees of fate are carried out to ulti-
mate disaster. The aged king and
his youngest daughter are the major
victims Of fate. and the art of Mr..
Mantell is demonstrated In the logi-
cal development of the character of
Lear from the time when. with in
dlsnant invective, he banisheS the
favorite daughter, the one who deeply
loves him. because of a fancied slight,
though the succeeding agonies to the
cllmer and more human character
which has been mellowed by sorrow
and by a realization that he was i'm
posed upon by the more plausible. but
more cruel daughters, to whom in
rage toward cordelia, he had given
al that he possessed.
Miss Hampers Cordelia may be re-
EArded as the feminine counterpart
of the similar character of Hamlet. as
IN example of filial devotion In the
midst of evil imposition and selfish
ness. Her acting reveals a high de-
gree of devotion to the parent who
had wronged her and gives added
force to the work of her co-star. She
participates in a moving scene when
recognition of the daughter comes
with the restoration of LeaTs reason.
A fairly large cast shares in the
action of the play. Henry Buckler
the Earl of Gloster presents a char
acter to be admired. with the re-
straint that is most effective for his
important scenes. A. G. Henderson
MS the Earl of Kent gives a spirited
and skillful performance. Guy Lind
sley. as the fool has an unusual con-
ception of the part which raises. the
question whether greater interest
might not be developed by employing
the abandon of the typical com edian.
in comparison with that should be
mentioned the lighter touch Of Ed
Goneril. one of the evil sisters John
Alexander, as Edgar. son of GloSter,
has a role of veried qualities.
Realistic scenic accompaniments are
provided and the thunderstorm with
the striking of the bolt gives force
to the story.

any profit and often do not make eX- penses unless they are able to de- velop two or three ball players which they can sell at the end of the season for substantial amounts. Gate receipts in a small city even with winning club seldom pay the expenses of operating a Class A club. The average Class A club owner must look to the sales of ball players for his profit-sometimes for his living expenses. If he cannot sell his talent to major league clubs then he turns to the Class Double As.
 Here's another way the majors ultimatum will operate against the clubs that accept players on condition that they are subject to draft: The draft price from Class to the ma jors is s4.000. Are there any major league ball clubs that have players that are worth $4,000 that they will sell to Class A clubs at that price
 Here's the rub: A Class A owner gees up to the majors and buys a ball player It is hardly likely that he will be able to obtain a good man "a man good enough to go in Class A-for $4,00O. Most likely he will have to give more than that and still be taking a big chance on getting I man who will do his club any good. Should his man go good, develop un- der the training of the minor league manager, he must be subject to draft in the fall for $4,000. The minor league owner cant make anything on him at that price and most likely will lose money on the deal. Perhaps some Class Double A club would give more for the player, but because the Double As are not recognizing the draft the player cannot be sold to one of them. The Class A owner will be the goat-the innocent bystander who gets hurt because somebody else is fighting.
