Anderton looked down at Elsa.

BY BELLA COHEN.

" RAGEDY, the eternal phantom
background of Vienna life, is
masked by the Viennese with
l. an external hilarity and gay
ETY. and abandon. In the swift,
superficial joyfulnesS of this stream of
ment, swept on into forgetfulneSs.
But one tale persists-the ehacting
of real drama of life in the Burg
Theater that reduced to insignificance
The Ibsen drama, Peer Gynt,' that
was being acted on the stage.
Menche Karniciu had fulfilled her
task. She had slain Todor PanizZa,
leader of the F'ederalist faction of the
revolutionary Macedonians.
Two men and two women entered a
box in the third tier of. the florid Burg
Theater. Another man, who had been
sitting in a box on the other side of
the house, came to them and asked
permission to join them. The younger
woman, without even raising her large,
dark eyes, refused unsmilingly. The
others of her party said nothing.
The Viennese fashionable folk who
had seen this little incident lifted
their eyebrows and whisperingiy mar
veled at.such rudeness.
Just before the curtain went up two
men and a woman hurried into the
box next to that of the party of four.
We'll, we're on time" the older
man said. and smiled. He was swarthy
and heavy set. On his little finger
blazed diamond ring.
The unsmilfng girl in the next box
reached for her handbag that had
been hanging on the back of her chair,
and looked at the others. The three
shook their heads.
Not yet, was what their eyes said
to her.
The lights went out and the curtain
rose on the first scene of Peer Gynt." T"
For two hours Ibsen's hero posed and
postured and whispered and shouted
through adventures that took him to
mountain tops and ocean bottoms.
The audience, immersed in the calm
that classics and airless auditoriums
create, followed Peer Gynt with only
mild interest. The evening was warm,
and this was not a first night per.
formance.
Now the ship that was to bear Peer
Gynt home rose and Peer Gynt step
ped into it. The audience hardly
sighed as the ship began to sink. The
night was too sultry.

CUDDENLY four shots rang out
~ quickly, regularly, deadly.
Reused from it's lethargy, the au-

innovation for stage effect? But Peer

stumbling rhythms, his eyes riveted
on the box in the third tier where the
man glad to be on time had sat.
Two more shots followed, implaca-
bic and precise. Groans, and a single
choked cry of "Hilfe" drowned out
the mumblings of Peer Gynt, and the
curtain fell.
In this spectacular manner the man
who had been glad to be on time was
killed by the unsmiling girl. The
man was Todor PanizZa, leader of the
F'ederalist faction of the revolutionary
Macedonians, and the girl was Menche
karniciu. picked by lot by the Au-
tonomist wing to kill him.
Vienna. hearing that girl, young
and beautiful, had shot and killed

had been his mistress and had shot
him out of jealousy.
But when Vienna heard that both
the girl and the man We're Macedo-
mans, it shrugged its shoulders and
said: Another Macedonian assa ssina-
ton. VIII they ever stop?''
For this dramatic episode is the
latest in a chain of Macedonian assas-
sinations that have taken place during
the last 20 years.
Out of this continuous tragedy
Macedonia has won Joan of Arc.

she desired him to come to tea, spe-

Yes, it had probably been good busi-

time it was a pretty sore strain,
largely because Elsa was on such ultra

Airplanes Mark Doom
of Huge Battleships

New York - The airplane has
sounded the battleship's doom writes
Rear Admiral W. S. Sims, retired, in
the Aero Digest.
Gwen the most hard-boiled Of the
battleship men have to acknowledge
that the precious battleships can not
escape disablement in the presence Of
an air force that completely com
mands the air over them," said the
former navy officer "They may be
able to drive pine plugs into the
leaks and limp into port, as the gen.
eral board claims, but SO far as the
battle is concerned, they might as
well be sunk.
"If, therefore, the great battleships
can not remain in the fighting line if
attacked by an efficient air force that
is practically unopposed, it follows
that of two otherwise equal fleets the
one having enough planes to COM
mand the air over its enemy will win,
just as surely as an airplane carrier
of 80 knots meeting a 22-knot battle
ship alone at sea will put the other
out of action with explosive bombs
alone"

If
Drastic "Wage" Cut
Accepted by Bankers

New York-Rather than risk call
ing public attention to their excessive
fees, financial interests that reOrgan-
lied the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railroad have accepted a cut of
S864,249 that was ordered by the in
terstate commerce commission. The
original bill was $2,364, ,249. The
commission allowed 81 100000.
1t is believed that the minority opin-
ion of Commissioner Eastman was a
factor in the bankers decision. MI.
Eastman insisted that $1,500,000 is
excessive and that the small stock
holders had nothing to say about the
fee paid 1t was determined by the
bankers themselves, who had been
authorized to pay such fees as they
found necessary, he said.
Mr.. Eastman showed that sepa-
rate syndicate of bankers received
1914, ,920 in commissions and profits
from the underwriting.
"Men receiving such compensa
tiOn," the commissioner said, "usu-
ally entertain a righteous conviction
that they correspond with intrinsic
worth, although at the same time
they may be incensed that painters
and carpenters should assume to de-
mand and be able to exact $15 da0
for their services"

THE KINGDOM
OF FORD!

Henry Ford has bought an airplane
plants and controls indirectly two
more. He owns q railroad, coal
mines, forests, iron mines, glass fac
tories and other things. Over these
things, he, OF some regent, is abso-
lutte boss.
If Henry Ford exercised politically
the power he exercises industrially, he
would be a king, or an emporer-
some kind of an autocrat. He might
be benevolent in his rulership, out he
would have the power to be other
wise. There would be great protest
among free men against such a vast
and unlimited power.
Henry Ford is a tremendous sue
cess as a producer of things in enor-
NOUS quantities. He is q factor in
the evolution of industry, perhaps be,
yond our present ability to under
stand. He does not want merely to
make big profits, but he makes them
just the same. He does not want to
be the arbiter of the destinies of mil
lions of men and women, but he Is
just the same.

The national organization reported
an increase in membership Of 10000

The other big point of interest is
that the national body placed itself
on record as favoring renewed efforts
to establish old age pension systems
IN the various states.
1t is stated that an educational
campaign in behalf of the pension
will be started in Ohio and a survey
made to determine the probable cost
and the number of persons eligible
to benefit from it.
