French Press Holds German
Note Opens Way for New
World Peace
BY FRANK e. MASON
international News Service.

PARIS, July 21.-Germany's re-
ply to Frances security pact pro.
posals, characterized by the French
foreign minister as satisfactory and
affording q basis for further nego.
tiations, met a friendly reception in
the Partstan press today.
World peace has taken an. i'm
portant step forward" seemed the
almost unanimous opinion.
Although foreign minister BRAND
did not make the text of the Ger
man note public, his announcement
Of the favorable impression created
by its contents furnished common
tators with the foundation for
optimisms, in place of the air of
pessimism which has hung over
security pact discussions recently.
Peace Die Cast
Germany has cast the die for
peace based on the League OF
Nations, in place of adventures
with Moscow, was the opinion Of
Gaulois. With more conservatism
LIE Martin expressed satisfaction
with Germany's answer, but pointed
out the difficulties of the negotia-
tons which will follow.
The government organ, Ere Nou-
velle, foresaw BRAND and Foreign
Minister Stressman meeting before
the end of the summer for talk
regarding the proposed pact.
M. Loucheurs Petit Journal saw
the influence of British and Amer
lean financiers In Germany's
tractable attitude. a.
1.-THE American and British bank
ers refused to give their accord to
the loans solicited for German in
dustry until a favorable answer
had been given to the security
proposals." the Journal said.
Hit BY Army Paper.
The only adverse note was sound
ed by the army's favorite news
paper, Echo De Paris, which warn
ed It's readers that "chasm exists
between the French and the Ger
man conceptions OF a peace pact. :"
Frances ideal is the protection
of the European system founded on
the Versailles treaty" the news
paper continued, whereas Ger
many's dream is to obtain revenge
for the provisions OF the treaty
and isolation of France through
the league and by preventing Anglo
French preparedness"

Vice Presidents Should Be Used
By Chester H. Rowell

Vice President Dawes gives reason TOR not wishing TO
sit presidents cabinet which either too much
or too little.
He thinks it is bad precedent to put official in the
cabinet who not selected by the president and who IN
future administration, might not have his confidence
If the precedent established the failure to In
some future vice president would be embarrassing
If this proves anything it proves that ought not to
have vice president at ALL
vice president out of harmony with the elected pres
ident ought not to be in position to succeed him. at any
moment, by pure accident.
If it known that the vice president to be an
active part the administration there would be less temp
taon to choose him merely to pacae discordan fac
ton.
Unquestionaby President Coolidges training in the cab

he succeeded

we have him, should use him.
The Germans have invented unique for opposing

They have finally yielded to it, in the universities, but

ground that the girls much brighter than the boys

After 49, they say boys bright girls but before
that, the more mature girls Outstrip them.
Of like many bad arguments it works both ways
One of the arguments against coeducaton the old days

universities would hold back standards.
Now in the high schools, it is that they will put them
too far forward.

LETTER FROM RUTH BURKE TO
WALTER BURKE, CINTINUED

Few women, my dear Walter, can
face facts. When woman finds
her ideal shattered if she is not big
enough to recognize that the blame
is not wholly her husband's-and few
women are big enough-she is lost.
Dear, don't laugh at me when
tell you that probably this is why
the tradition is grown up that
widows make the best wives. You
see, widows have gone through all
this SCATTERING of ideals. They know
what to expect, and as rule they
expect mighty little of man. Con-
'sequently they are surprised and de-
lighted at the slightest conformity
in the man they have married to
that which they wish their husbands
were.
There, dear, l am hearing you
laugh long and loud. You'll have to
acknowledge that it is true. You
know l am a splendid wife and
was a widow. You know how happy
I am when you do something that is
in the nature of unselfishness. Be-
sides this ! am glad you are able to
laugh at truth. Most truths either
make people fighting mad or very
weepy.
Leslie's baby is fine one, they
say. Between you and me, think
new babies are very ugly, with their
uncertain colored eyes, their little
h.; .lok ,,,n,,fhc
their bald heads and their red skins.

In New York

New York, Feb. 27.-Drama greater
than that on the stage is enacted at
the box office during the opening
week of any show on Broadway. Play
production is the biggest gamble
known in America.
A play that achieves any success
worth mentioning will return a
thousand per cent or more on the
original investment. A failure means
the loss Of many thousands Of dol
lars.
For instance, "White Cargo" is
making profit of $500 a week in
New York alone. 1t has been run
ming here longer than any other show
except "Abie's Irish Rose" In addi-
ton there are eight other companies
playing it in this country and Eng
land
1.-THE Show-Of" represents an ori-
ginal investment of $4,000. 1t has
just completed year on Broadway
and will run six months more. It
cleans about $4,000 week for the
producers.
In addition picture rights t.
"White Cargo" and a'The Show Off
will be sold for 100000 or more
each, and half of that sum will &c
to the stage producers.
On the other hand. consider thu
failures that crowd the many store
houses about town. There is "Has

Erlanger. It ran less than month
and cost $4,000. The Selwyns los
