ri HE editor invited me to re-
view by novel, THE Invisible
1 Woman" Two things pre-
vented. The first was something
which we may as well call modesty.
The second was that 1 thought he
might be joking.
But DIR. Calvin T. Ryan OF the
English department of Iowa Wes-
leyan College, in review in the
Des Moints Register. in which he
says good things of the story which
I am afraid 1t does not deserve. gives
me a chance to talk about the book,
by his putting it in the good COM
pany Of De Quincy.
In all De Quincey's marvellous writ
ings there is no such effective mar
shaling of wonderful sentences as in
that story of the runaway stagecoach
called THE Vision of Sudden Death. /"
Stagecoach Incident
The stagecoach is sweeping along
the English country road in the dark
est night. It is on the wrong side
of the road. In its path. In a little
carriage, are a young man and his
sweetheart. He heard. as he rode
On the top of the flying coach, the
"far-off sound of wheel. perhaps
four miles off," and knew that the
coach, being on the wrong side of
the road, would almost. inevitably
find the vehicle in front on the same
side There Is the inprobab ability of
hearing a wheel-sound at four miles,
and the even chance that the car
rage would be going In the same
direction as the coach and hence on
the opposite side of the road, but
let that pass. We are speaking now
Of the factor of time.
When the narrator in De Quincey's
great story came within sight of the
carriage, 1t was full in the path Of
destruction and its driver had "but a
minute and half IN which to get

NEW YORK. Feb. 16.-The Bow
ery's first mission has Just been sold
by an Irishmsr to a Jew. 1t was
the Camp Memorial Congregational
Church in Chrystie st.
The church originated in Centre
st. across from the Tombs, in the
cradle of crime and the nursery of
wretchedness. That was in 1889
when Yankee Sullivan, the prize
fighter. ran saloon next door end
before Salvation Nell or her sisters
appeared among the h ,odlums.
The mission employed creed that
appealed to men Of all faiths and 1t
flourished while churches of various
denominations failed. In 1889 it was
received into the Congregational
Church.
One OF the most memorable events
that occurred within the shadow
Of the church was The Fourth Of July
riot In 1857 between the Bowery
BOYS and the Dead Rabbit Gang.
Clubs, gums and fists were used by
the men In the streets while women
and boys on housetops tore down
brick chimneys to get missiles for
the fray.
The last use of the church was
that OF refuge for Mr.. Zero and his
army Of unemployed. It might have
continue as that, but the health ana
police authorities interfered. Then

EU7 ASHINGTON. Feb. 16.-Un-
lIWl less the army and navy get
0 Brig. Gen. BILLY" Mitchell,
Billy" inevitably is going to get
them.
Mitchell declares surface armies
and navies are obsolete, or nearly SC
that aviation is the whole thing
AS assistant chief Of army airmen
his words have weigh
His challenge is one the army and
navy can't afford to ignore.
More will be heard from it unless
Bitchell is discredited. promptly and
thoroughly.
Surface armies and navies cost
like everything. If they really are
no good any more, the country
which pays for them, is sure to let
out blood-curdling yell to Congress
to cut their appropriations right off.
An economy of $685.. 594. 533-which
is what the army and navy cost dur
ing the fiscal year 1924-will be
too, il 1t can be justified, as Billy
Mitchell says it can.
Up in Next Congress
The present Congress won't get
much of the reaction to Mitchell's
assertion. There won't be time be-
tween now and March 4. There1l be
plenty of time before the next Con-
gress meets in December, however,
and army and navy men realize It
full we'll
The question is:
How. in the meantime, can Nit
chell be squelched
Mitchell himself has been accused
openly of characterization and dsso-
bedience of orders. Before court
martial, probably some of these
charges could be made to stick.
Even IL not driven out OF the serv-
ice, his advancement in il might be
blocked. Mitchell isn't full-fledged
brigadier. He classes as one only
while he remains assistant aviation
chief.
Colonel Is his actual rank. De-
prived of his present assignment, he
would be denoted in effect.
This would punish him, but would
it SHUT him up?
Possibly it would shut up an off,
Ger wsCse bread and butter depended
on his job, but Mitchell Is independ-
emily rich.
The Army or fTavy officer of ortho-
dox West Point or Annapolis educa-
ton is sensitive to his fellow pro-
fessionals' attitude toward him.
Not a West Pointer
But Mitchell isn't West Pointer.
He rose from the ranks.
More, he is contemptuous of West
Point and Annapolis men.
He says their training is out of
date. Wrong ideas are drilled into
them deliberately. Their instructors,
he maintains, so over-emphasize the
Importance of surface armies and
surface fleets that they're incapable
of grasping problems of the air.
He considers himself fortunate in
having escaped this curse. He told
the congressional Investigators SO.
Thus, rather singulariy. though
one man is opposed to the entire
Army and Navy of the United States.
the odds are rather on his side.
1t is more than likely he viii be
forced out into civil Life, but what
then?
Why, he say he'll run for Con-
gress. His fafhe. was Senator. He
has the political lair. If he runs.
the chances are he'll be elected. In
the House OF Representatives he
might be a greater grief to Army
and Navy men OF the old School than
he is now

understanding of the Chinese civil

attitude. DR.. Chase was able to
bring to his audience an apprecia-
tion of China and things Chinese
which is not often produced by Il
speaker of the west.
"Women and Marriage in China, -
the announced subject of DIR.
Chase lecture. was taken up by the
speaker following an introduction,
without which many statements
made would have been hard to UNI
derstand. The position of woman
in the East, the position woman in
the West from the eastern viewpoin'
married life in China, the rights Of
women in China, marriage without
eourtship, infanticide, concubinage,
the Chinese attitude regarding di-
vorce, and general comparison of
marriage in the East and West were
among the many great angles devel-
oped by DR.. Chase in expanding his
sub iect.
With two stories. one of a Chinese
father who is being interrogated
and berated by women's rights ad-
voates, and another the old legend
of India which deals with the cre
alton of woman, DR.. Chase brought
his address to a close, and received
the prolonged applause which at
