SPOUSE TALKS ON
 BATTLE OF TARIFF
Democrat Plays Republican Tac
 tics On Duties

13mporia, Kan. Oct 5 LP-The fight being wage in congress by democratic senators against the re- publican tariff bill is regarded by Jouctt Shousc, chairman of the democratic national executive com mittee, as an, important part of the party's preparation for the next con- gressional and presidential cam paign. and is promising success i'm possible with short-lived, intensive campaigns begun only a few monts before elections.
 Speaking at a dinner here attend ed by state democratic leaders, MT. Shouse declared the republican party has abandoned its "pretense of tariff revision 10 benefit the farmer" and is bent on rushing the tariff bill through congress, fearing to go to the country with the bill as an issue" in next years Congression- al elections.
 "They accuse us of making the tariff fight for a political purpose, said Mir. Shouse. That is truly only so far as that it may rebound to the interests of the democrats to prevent enactment of a legislative abomination.
 "'The job Of the democratic ma tional committee is to prepare the party so that it may go into the coming campaign at the highest point of efficiency. The fight we have been making against the tariff bill is part of this preparation. That we are on the right track is indicated hy the distress of our opponents at the prospect of the congressional elections next year.

BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Writer

London, Oct. 5.-Back of Aristide Briand's proposal for United States of Europe lies a widespread and very definite European uneasiness and fear in regard to the United States of America.
 Oddly enough, this European hos tility-that is not a too strong word for it-includes Great Britain as well as the United States.
 Napoleon Thought of It
 Briand's idea is not at all new. A century ago Napoleon dreamed Of tying all the European nations to- gcther, either by conquest or by treaty. into a great customs union which would shut out all British goods by tariffs, embargoes and the like.
 More recently, a Czech writer named N. Coudenhove Kalor2i in book called Pan Europe" came to bat with the same idea.
 He asserted that the decadence Of Europe is due to two yr, at un- ions-the United States of America and the British empire. Admitting the jealOusies and rivalrieN which keep European nations. apart, he nevertheless asserted that their only solution would be to form q United States of Europe, in which each na- tion would be sovereign within its own frontiers, much as the various American states are.
 The advantages of such a federa- ton. says Coudenhoye-K -Kalergi, would be these
 The European states would not have to fear war with each other; they could remain neutral and pros porous when other nations went to war; they could protect themselves against the aggression of any outside powers by combination of powers. and-thry could face the business rivalry of America and England.
 Still another prominent European to suggest such a federation is Ar mold Ro2hbcrg, the great German industrialist. Rcchbcrg, who formed the great Franco German potash trust believes that succession of such industrial unions will eventtl- ally lead to political union between France and Germany. which will he followed by extension Of the idea to neighboring powers.
 Thus far all of these ideas have been coldly received in England. But very recently some leading British puhlicists have suggested a new arrangement of the British empire. in which the mother country and all the dominions and colonies would trade with each other without any tariff barriers at all, while at the same time building a protective tar if wall against the products of oth- CT nations.
 This scheme has met with consid- orable opposition. Many BritisherS fear it would raise the cost of food in England, and the Australians. who have just managed to establish their own industries, fear that ad- hitting goods from England duty free would wipe these industries out entirely
 Both Nations Are Feared
 Enough has been written. no doubt, 10 show that England tends to be on the side of America rather than Of Europe when the United States Of Europe idea is suggested.
 So, if goes without saying, any thing which might lead to conflict between England and America would find most of Europe looking on with q pleased manner.

GLEN ECHO IS
DRAWING
CROWDS

Among the outdoor attractions,
none is more popular than Glen
Echo Park, which this week in
augurated its nineteenth season.
The management went over every
thing during the winter with the
result that practically every amuse-
ment appears in new dress, and
offers greater than every value for
the small fees charged on each.
For instance it was thought that
the coaster dip was the last word
in thrillers, but Joseph Hart, gen.
eral superintendent, managed to
add one more sweeping dip to the
contrivance which makes it more
enjoyable to patrons. The airplane
swing has likewise been improved
with a five feet addition in height,
making the ride very realistic.
In the ballroom, McWilliams'
augmented orchestra is furnishing
dance music, while talented indi-
vidual members of the orchestra
furnish novelty entertainment
during the regular programs.
Dancing may be enjoyed every
week night from $50 until 1880.
Completely satisfying street car
service is furnished by the Wash.
ington Railway and Electric Com.

the Polka saloon the week Of
June 10, they'll all know that the
players are observing the Tooth
week Of their existence In Wash.
ington and that that melody Is q
bit from the most pretentious
production the Players have ever
staged-David Belasco's THE Girl
OF the Golden West"
Anniversaries are expensive and
this one Is no exception. A man
may be a good stock producer
consistently through the years but
when he tackles a Belasco pro-
duction he must have something
of that gambler spirit that per-
vades those Western productions
that Belasco has sponsored. There
are 20 speaking parts in the play
and a varied number of other in.
dividuals for atmosphere. These
all fit in front of a Western
panorama that requires four diff.
ferent settings.
Belasco has always averred that
this play was written from the
well of his own experiences and
observations in California. Some
of the scenes he divulges have
the gripping authenticity of Bret
Harte. The Polka saloon Is real,
Jake" Wallace is real, the drip
ping blood" scene was an actual
experience in his fathers life.
