TOkiO's Strict Dance
Hall Laws Criticized

Tokio's laws strictly limiting the
number of public dance halls in the
capital and closing at IL o'clock at
night those which are permitted TO
operate are characterized as unrea.
sonable by the chief Of the foreign
section Of the metropolitan police board.
He says that one of the principal rea-
sons tourists do not like to stay for
long in Toxic is that its night life is
drab compared to some of the other
metropoliseS Of the Far East. The
presence of few more dance halls in
the center of town would provide q
wholesome form of entertainment which
would be beneficial to both residents
and visitors, the official said. Recent
activity on the part of the government
to attract tourists to Japan has run
into handicaps furnished by the police,
who maintain that dance halls and
such forms of entertainment aren't good
for public morals and should not be
allowed just for the sake Of a few
tourists The opinion of the chief of
the foreign section was received With
pleasure by the general public, although
no drastic changes in the present reg
ulations are expected until . few more.

Art Jury in Paris Accepts Work
OF James G.. Bailey, U. S. Diplomat

That presidents Of leading banks have
aften started their careers as newsboys
is q. story so frequent that nobody thinks
of even expressing surprise or admira-
ton when it is told. But that man
who has been in the diplomatic service
for many years should suddenly make
public appearance as a painter gives q
new angle on this curious problem OF
profession and avocation.
,Jaf1es G.. Bailey of Kentucky, who has
passed through six revolutions IN the
course of his long years in the service
of the United States abroad, mas JUST
had a picture accepted by the spring
Salon in Paris. 1t is the first time he
has submitted one of his paintings 10 q

any of his paintings are hung in public.
Mr.. Bailey, as a young man, was con-
nected with State politics and with edu-
cation. He was principal OF high
school, a professor of government and
literature anc thence turned to politics.
He served as member OF the Kentucky
Legislature, in which he was chairman
of the committee on education. His rep
utation at that time was that OF bril-
liant speaker. He was the best orator
OF the rising young men In Kentucky.
Gradually his interests centered to-

After serving its heating purposes the

~ DORM, Holland.-The Kaiser is
a poor man, and his poverty
is doubly keen, for by nature
~ he is both generous and hos
pitable. Poverty is not easy to
define; but in a general way we call
ourselves poor whenever compelled to
reduce our expenses or drop from ore
financial plane to lower one.
Napoleon seemed poor in his princi-
pality of Elba, for he had been the
ruler of all Europe; he seemed poorer
at st. Helana, although still surrounded
by servants and courtiers who humored
him. In my home town on the Hud-
son a man is poor If he has no car,
and a woman is pitied If she cannot
dress in silk.
Door Prison to Kaiser.
The poverty of the Kaiser is, there
fore, merely relative-his powers of en-
tertaining have shrunk; he cannot
make the costly presents that he for
merly did. His magnificent yacht has
disappeared. He told me that he did
not know anything of its present
whereabouts. or even existence. All he
knew was that it had been pillaged by
the revolutionary mob in 1918 and, of
course, he had lost many precious pos
sessjons-aN his uniforms, pictures,

What matters it, after that, If a jour-

nationalism, subjects these sentiments
to the cold shower of a series of acidu-
lated articles, or If the satire of a stage
play, as In THE Weak Sex" is directed
to the cosmopolitanism of transatlantic

The vogue in France remains none

When the cabinet found no majority
for this tax measure 1t tried to put its
program into effect through article AZ
of the Weimar constitution, which gives
the government extraordinary powers in
the event that public security is men
aced. But since public security, happily,

aroused justified indignation, and the
Socialists moved in the Reichstag
that the decree be Immediately re-
scinded. Bruening refused to accede
to Hugenbergs conditions for support

of the Nationalist voted against the
government and the Socialist motion
was passed. The chancellor thereupon
dissolved the Reichstag under the au-
thority of article 40.
The people now hope that the new
elections will return sensible repre-
sentatives to the Reichstag in both the
Socialist and Bourgeois groups, who
can succeed in reaching an agreement
and effecting the financial and eco

BY DIR. GUSTAV sToLPER,

Noted German Editor and Economist.
~ ERLIN.-The serious political
- crisis into which Germany
plunged this week, with the dis
- solution of the Reichstag, will
have many harmful effects, but
1t Is nevertheless a natural develop
ment in the as yet unfinished process
of building up the German state.
Germany can be ruled only through
an understanding between the bour-
geois and the laboring class. The
Socialist party represents the largest
part of the laboring class. With its
help, the parties of the Center created
the Weimar constitution and defended
it later against the Nationalist.
Stresemann StrOve for Unity.
The late Foreign Minister Strese-
mann did much to keep the Right wing
of the bougeois Peoples party, to
which he belonged. together with the
Left and to prevent its going over to
the Nationalist. But, under the
pressure of an unfavorable economic
situation, aggravated by mistakes in
financial policy and by an insufficient
tightening Of Germany'S load under
the Young reparations plan, a COM
promise between the workmen's de-
mands and the bourgeois classes be-
came steadily more difficult. The re-
suit was the collapse, at the beginning
of May, of the Mueller cabinet, which
included both Socialist and Bourgeois
party members.
The government of the new chan
cellor, Heinrich Bruening, who be-
longs to the Catholic Center, repre-
the Socialists. To this end Bruening
desired to gain the support of the Ger
man Nationalist, who were DR.. Strese-
mann's chief opponents. In order to
win them to his policies, Chancellor
Bruening extended a program OF aid
for the agriculturistS, who are es-
pecially represented by this party, far
beyond the measures planned by the
Mueller government.
Bruening Succeeded at First.
Bruening's plan succeeded at first.
But his cabinets financial policies were
quite as bad as those of the Mueller
government and they were aggravated
by the deepening international eco
nomic depression. Events progressed TO
the point where Bruening and his min
listers were neither able to defend them
selves successfully against the Socialist
opposition nor to attract enough mod
crates TO their support from the ex-
IreHe IlBnG wing OF the NaClOnalAotc'
led by DR.. Alfred Hugenberg.
The Bruening governments plan TO
reform unemployment insurance at
huge saving contained number of good
ideas, but also, on the other hand, so
many unnecessary hardships that 1t
offered the Socialists many points OF
attack. Still worse was the fact that
the government did not dare admit to
the Reichstag that the deficit in the
budget was actually 1900, 000, 900 marks
(about $3.50. 000,O00), but chung to the
fiction that 1t was only 800, 000, 900
(about 1892 ,000,000). On top OF this
came a series of unpopular and eco
nomically damaging tax proposals, in
GLIDING poll tax which contemplated
assessing at least marks per capita
on all citizens, almost without any re-
gard for their economic situation, age
or ability to work.

AT o'clock we all had afternoon tea

our building little before tea time,

seeing him. He has a tremendously
strong right hand, and, though appre-

fingers needed medical massage after
the first handshake. He required no

turn was surprise for me-she had
