Throughout the show there was n
great deal Of clever musical talent.

The comment of one mar OF expert
ence, W. b. Taylor. who has been
representing the Cadillac company

since 1912 was to the effect that Cas-
per's show was the best which Mr..
Taylor had ever seen in all his 10
years experience with the bigger

DIPLOMACY CAN'T

Foreign People Must Go To
Work, Henry Allen
Declares

LONDON, May 31.-"Europe can
not be saved by diplomacy. She
must go back to work"
Thus Henry ]. Allen, former gov
ernor of Kansas. analysed the Eu-
ropean situation in an exclusive in
terview Thursday. He has just ar
rived in London after an extended
tour of the continent, where he care
fully investigated conditions in many
countries.
Asked what he intended to tell the
people of the middle west on his
return regarding conditions in Eu
rope and the attitude the United
states should adopt toward the pres
ent situations, Allen said
1T is impossible to place all Eu
rope in one category. Some parts
are very bad. and there are also
several bright spots. But I take
away gloomy picture of the stir
ring of new ambitions and the form
ing of new ententes.
ut is suggestive of the old sys-
tenn of alliances. 1t is evident in
the Near East and the Balkans. 1t
is noticeable in the French counting
of Poland and CzechoSlovakia and
the British advances toward Italy.
There is the suggestion that trouble
may impend again from the same re-
actions that brought on the late
war. The powers are playing for
position"

why khan funds should not he tied
