FIT. MINIS MASSACRE
Aup IN


Aug. 30
NNE hundred sixteen years ago
" today, on Aug. 80, 1918, more
than 500 men, women and children
were massacred by Indians at TT.
Minis, a temporary stockade thirty
five miles north of Mobile, Ala.
The massacre was the first out
break in the Greek war in the
southwest. About 553 persons had
sought refuge with the garrison at
the fort, under the command OF
Dixon Bailey.
Although Bailey had been warned,
they were surprised by greatly
superior force of Indians under the
half-breed Weathersford at noon
Aug. 80. Though they offered brave
resistance, virtually all of them
were killed.
The result Of the massacre was
that Alabama was almost aban-
doned by the whites. Terror and
desire for revenge took possession
of Georgia and Tennessee.
The Tennessee legislature voted
to raise men and money to aid in
the fight against the Greeks. Gen.
Andrew Jackson soon took the field,
and the Greek campaign lasted only
seven months.

Making of Stars

COMEBODY should create a
- foundation which would endow
all stage aspirants with tickets for
the new Cohan play. They will not
find a more likely master.
And I would particularly request
the f1edglings to note the way in
which Cohan listens. There is a
school of acting headed by Mrs.
Walter Hampden In which it is the
custom for the star to pay no at
tention to anything but the sound OF
his own voice. This is not the sort
of listening to which I refer.
Cohan is all attention when the
other person in the scene is speak
ing. And remember, he not only
wrote the play, but produced 1t.
And, again, wish to have the
students note the extraordinary
manner in which Cohan vitalizes an
entire scene with a single line-and
it is. a. simple line. He makes She

NOR does the Greek influence
~ end here. The playwright is
sedulous in keeping all the violent
action off-stage Thus when he
brings his people into a gambling
house he keeps them in the en-
trance hall, and we merely hear the
sound of the police axes as they
break down the doors upstairs and
smash the tables.
AS a reformed gambler, I might
have enjoyed the spectacle Of
gaming devices being smashed be-
fore my very eyes. but think the
various restraints imposed upon the
action in this comedy-drama are
effective. They serve to keep the
play within the mood Of Mr.. Co

Faced Great Hardship

TINE Graf Zeppelin not only
IL sailed the skies in safety, but
found everything needed for the
comfort of her passengers and crew
on the way.
Magellan's men faced not only the
perils of an uncharted sea, but such
physical misery as Shriveled their
bodies and warped their souls.
For ninety-eight days they wal
lowed across the Pacific, with only
two small islands to reassure them
that they had not gone over the
Jumping place" Their food
supply became so diminished that
they were glad to eat OK hide, and
their water not only grew ropy, but
practically gave out.
Worst of all, when they reached

TIME dramatic critics have over
Il looked what seems to me an
important aspect Of the new play
Gambling" 1 refer to the fact that
George M. Cohan has gone curl
pidean. He has taken the story of
Broadway murder and related it
in the technical fashion of Greek
tragedy. NJ
The first act III particular would
have caused Sophocles to beat his
hands and cry out "ataboy.'
The murder occurs off-stage and
the victim is never seen by the au-
dience either before or after the
crime. In fact, the grilling of pos
sible witnesses begins before the
audience is even aware of what has
occurred. A police inspector per-
forms the function of the traditional
messenger of the Athenian drama.
And it is still good system. What
was good enough for Athens is ex-
cellent for Broadway. No mystery
play of recent years has provided
as thrilling an opening act as that
which Mr.. Cohan has written for

Credit for Progress

DUT progress, even in the most
ID material sense, deserves much
credit for producing that side of the
picture.
Men grow through contact with
each other, through the exchange of
goods as we'll as ideas, through be-
coming acquainted with each other
and each others problems.
There is a larger purpose in i'm
proved methods of travel and COM
munication than the convenience
they afford; a purpose that has to
do with the development of moral,
social, and political ideals.
Much as one may deplore the
restraint and discipline that go with
mechanical life, they admittedly are
creating a spirit of cooperation
which promises much for the future.

Easy Cost Of Triumph

1T is far cry from Magellan's
L. day to ours.
Measured by the possibilities it
opens up, DR.. Ecekener's feat is as
important as that of the Portu-
guese navigator.
Measured by the difficulties to be
encountered, the obstacles to be
overcome, the dangers to be met,
and the suffering to be endured, it
seems tame.
Two weeks, practically enough
freight and passage money to pay
the bill, not single case of serious
illness, much less death--such is the
easy cost of triumph in this ell
lightened age.
Yet there are those who say the
world is growing worse.

World With Edison

HUMAN progress has not been
L K wholly mechanical, nor is the
triumph of the Graf Zeppelin wholly
a matter of engine and gas.
During the last 400 years men
have learned something besides how
to overcome time and distance.
Not only has the fringe of bar
barism receded, but civilization has
become a different thing internally.
Though the greatest war in hui
man history ended but little more
than decade ago, and though at
that time Germany was anathema
TO three-fourth of the world, no one
thinks of putting tack in the road
along which DR.. Eckener passes be-
cause he is German.
No one even has gone so far as
to hope he would fail.
Instead, the world has united In
doing everything possible to assist
him.
That side of the picture is worth
considering, because, without it,
progress would be vain.
