Townley, believed by authorities
to be demented, called upon Father
Driscoll to get money he claimed
was owing to him. Father Driscoll
refused the demand and was show
ing the former priest out when the
latter whipped out revolver and
fired.
Townlcy told police that he had
discharged the gun accidentally. d.

Ocean Flight

Kingsford- Smith and his three COM
panions landed their airplanc South
err Cross on the Harbor Grace fly
ing field at Is a. m, EST, today.
They were the first to reach
across the ocean.
The Southern Cross, which in
1928 flew across the Pacific from San
Francisco to Australia and then last
year flew to London from Australia,
left Port Marnock, eight miles from
| Dublin, Ireland, at 1925 =. H.,
EST, Monday. 1t had been in the
air 81 hours 50 minutes.
The flight, which went on auspici-
| ously until about 9 p. IN. Tuesday,
was beset with difficulties during
the final hours, but all were sur
mounted and the plane was brought
safely to earth.
Thc fuel supply, planned to las.
5S hours, was depleted by head

Captain Kingsford- Smith was forced
to give up hope of reaching the main
! coast, where planes were waiting to
refuel the Southern Cross in flight.
Between the hours of 9 p. m.
Tuesday and perhaps as late as 5
a. IN. today, the navigators of the
plane could not obtain an accurate
| bearing, and they flew for hours
without knowing their exact posi-.
, ton.
A compass which failed to work
properly. and atmospheric condition
which prevented obtaining bearings
from radio compass stations, caused
the trouble.
Encounter Fog
lhen, when an accurate bearing
was obtained, the plane headed for
Larbor Grace, which was thea about
100 miles distant.
"Oh, boy, but it sure looks good
to see our position on chart
again. John Stannagc, the Irish
radio operator, told the liner Am
erica.
But there were more difficulties
ahead. x heavy fog hung over the
landing field at Ilarbor Grace.
From o:20 a. M. until 6 a. III. the
plane hovered over Harbor Grace
and Bay st. Louis, unable to find
the landing field because of the fog.
Finally at a. m. tho field was
located and the Southern Cross.

landing.

of approximately 2190 miles but

Poland's Strong Dictator


that legally. he had the right to be
elected King.
No use, then, imputing to Pilsudski
facts and wrongs that were probably
fatal; Pilsudski is Poland. And with
him, with his manias and errors and
fits, Poland simply pays the penalty for
a crime of which she has been the VIC
tim-the partitioning of the old Polish
State among robber neighbors, Austria,
| Prussia and Russia, with the conse-
| quence that Poland regained her indie
pendence and unity generations after
Italy and Germany: regained it only
after long years of war, invasionS,
famine, revolution.
Truth to tell, when prosperous coun-
tries like the United States are some
times tempted to pass sweeping judg-
tees so patent today in Polish admin
istrative life, they ought to remember
that the United States and similar
countries are spared the sense of In
security given by open-land frontiers,
that they have common political orr
gin. while in Poland the political and
intellectual Is Russian in Warsaw. Ger
man in PoZnan and Austrian in Galicia
Pnsudskfs heaviest errors he probably
breathed in Russian Poland where he
spent all his life-when he was not in
Russian prisons.
His immediate enemy was the Och
rama, the secret Czarist police, which
evolved in Soviet Russia into the
Tcheska. Surrounded by international
dangers OF all sorts, PilSudSki has not
dared to rely on liberty but has copied
the very things he formerly most loath-
ed. The Ochrana, which he fought, has
become in Poland the Defensive It

1t achieves the same results that anal
ogous systems achieve in another great
European nation-an appalling lower

citizens.
One may ask: But why, with all his
power does Pilsudski insist on keeping
Parliament, and why does the cleo
toral campaign Of October and Novem-
Der, 1880, seem so important to him?"

The only possible answer proves that

his speeches crammed with unprintable
obScenities-has remained more prudent

The existence of Parliament "a Par

allows him to make the Sejm (such is
the Polish name for the Chamber) the
scapegoat for all the failures people

But all that, deplorable as it is, was
probably fatal.

To Train Entertainers

The Shimbashi Geisha Association,
which controls the highest class group
Of geisha entertainers in Toxic, has
decided to establish a sort of geisha
university, at which the entertainers
will be trained In entertainment bit
more modern than that which their
profession has specialized in for the
last few centuries. Three hundred
members of the association, authorities
OF the metropolitan police board and
others interested attended the meeting
at which the new course of training
was discussed. Plans for the school
Include training in foreign dances, the
singing Of modern foreign songs and a
certain amount of English conversa-
ton. This acceptance of the modern
even in small way, by the leading
geisha of the capital is little short of
revolutionary in the profession, which
has always confined its entertainment
to formal, classic dances, songs and
instrumental music of the same kind
and snappy conversation within mar
row, formal limits.

worked himself into a nervous

play he just picks a situation
out of an ordinary American
home, and then he walks on
the stage and is himself.
On the way home another
thought struck me.
He is the author of the play,
and his name is printed on the
program and written in front
of the theater in electric lights.
Yet it is a play without a
star.
At least five other characters
are just as important as he is.
He is on the stage no more
than they are, and they are
given just as many good lines.
He might have written the
piece so as to monopolize the
spotlight, and it might have
been a success or it might have
been a flop. But being the
