were playing around in the woods

OPERA IN ESPERANTO

At recital in New York the other evening, Clyde
Burrows, baritone, sang Gretchannoffs The Steppe
in Esperanto. He sang other songs in Russian, Ger
man, Latin and English, but the Esperanto number
is deserving of special attention
Here, perhaps, is solution for the problem of
the language of operas. Those Americans who feel
that English is entirely unsuited to that purpose might
meet on the common ground Of Esperanto. Of course
that would require learning Esperanto, which many
of US far have neglected to do Yet that would be
considerably easier than learning all the languages
in which operas ever sung, which to be the
only other alternative if must know what all the
singing is about

litical survey now being conduct

By PAUL r. MALLON
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April so. - The
agricultural west holds doubts for
President Coolidge and Governor A,
Smith of New York. as leading can
dldates of their respective parties
for the 1928 presidential nomina-
tion.
The broad sweep of agricultural
lands from Ohio to Nebraska would
at this time give Mr.. Coolidge
about 90 republican delegates for
denomination, with l45 doubtful.
Indications are that Smith s
strength was greatly increased in
spots and while today's tabulation
indicates he has but II prospective
midwest delegates, this total may
be materially increased before 1928
democratic nomination time. Against
tlt II for Smith, in this region,
fl2 probably will go to the convcn-
tion pledged for favorite sons while
i3l others are classed as doubtful.
1ON HbitS lht HbSI uouDt ABOUT
Mr.. Coolidge and indications are
that republicans of North Dakota,
South Dakota, Illinois and Wiscon-
sin have not made up their minds.
This uncertainty is based upon
Coolidgc's veto of the McNary-
liaugen Farm Relief Bill and has
to do with the candidacy of former
Governor i.owdcn, Illinois, advo-
cate of tho bin.
Just how far the Coolidge oppos-
ltion will GO remains to he seen.

 On display at the exhibition is the latest inventona telephone for use in noise-filled rooms. The speaker fixes the microphone nos in front of his mouth. but a5 tightly as possible to his neck. Sound is produced by mechanical and not air waves.
 The words that come from the speakers mouth are drowned by the noise in the room, but the in- vSnti0n catches the metallic vi brations in the throat, and tho sounds and words arc conveyed to the person at the other end of the line. Tho result is that al though thore might be so much noise in the room that person two feet away could not hear the man speaking, a listener 200 milss away could.

that greeted it instantaneously upon publication was due to the fact that the character Sandy has been treated with a candor that is sometimes daring but al ways true-to-life.
 Sandy" is the daughter of a jazz age who holds all the ad- vanced ideas. commonly credited to the present-day girl. She firm ly believes that the older genera tion can teach her nothing but that she can give them a few lessons in throwing over anti quated conventions in favor of a behavior code that gets the maxi mum fun out of life.
 In the highly dramatic story the author proves that rules of conduct developed through cen turies of civilization cannot be altered or dismissed-even by q beautiful nineteen-year.old girl.

Thru Nicaragua Against Mexico; Thru
China Against Japan.
BY ELLIS PETERSON

by ELLIS RI EHSON
MEXICO is the main obstacle
AA against Uncle Shylock's imperial
policy in South and Central America.
Mexico is taking the hegemony in raj
lying Latin-America against the U. S..
Japan and the British Empire are
the strongest adversaries of United
States in the Pacific. The British En-
pire Is paralyzed'at present in its fight
against the U, S. Japan is arming it.
self at top speed. The earthquake a
few years ago gave Japan a setback
and In spite of the Washington dis
armament" japan has started build
ing a very strong new navy, which
will be completed in 1928. This means
that the strength Of U. SIS enemy,
Japan, a year from now will be for
midable, and that is one of the rea-
sons why Wall Street now is starting
trouble.
These are the two political con-
stellations which lead Coolidge and
Kellogg in their policies against Mex
leo and China. Here enters also the
question of the Philippines.
The opposition of Borah is caused
by his diplomatic inclinations of win
ming the Latin-American opinion"
thru concessions and peaceful per-
5uasion. He advocates a pacifst pol
icy against Central and South Amer
lea. Kellogg is for the mailed fist.
The war against Mexico-which at
present seems very likely--if Gales
is not automatically or thru Wall
Streets revolution" forced to COM
plete surrender; the war against Mex
leo and Nicaragua are preparations
against the ultimate struggle in the Pa
cific, the war against Japan, That is
the reason why Americas march
against Mexico is accompanied by
sending dreadnaughts to China
against Japan. We can be pretty
sure-what the Department of War
does not say-that reinforcements of
all naval stations on the Pacific coast
with San Francisco as center) are
taking place. The naval stations on
the coast of Nicaragua and southwark,
and especially the Pearl Harbor
(HswaiD, Guam and in the Philippines
are at present strengthened more than
ever.
The war against Mexico comes as
direct result of the Wall Street pol
icy in South America. The conflict
with Japan was sharpened thru the
victories of the revolutionary armies
of kuomntang. Thru these victories
the balance of power in the Pacific
was absolutely changed.
The Panama Canal.
Because of the imminence of the
war with Japan the Panama Canal
will be the sorest spot of the U. S.
The Panama Canal must be guarded
at any cost. Nicaragua and Mexico
are too close to this spot to be allow
ed any freedom which can be mis-
used" against the interests of the
United States. Hence the present
nervous American policy in these
countries, sharpened by the oil inter
ests.
The peoples in Latin-America are
anti-Yankee. It would be an easy
matter for free Mexico-even with
only a bourgeois Revolutionary" gov
