French Playwright
Lauds United States

PARIS.-M. Henry Bernstein, a ia
nous French playwright, has just ar
rived in Paris from the United States
Through the interviews he gave to
newspaper men it seems that he had
enjoyed his stay in America very much.
He says he was impressed by the
courtesy of the Americans, their good
will, the fast rhythm of their life and
the thousand opportunities it offers.
He doesn't think the economic crisis
there very striking
Everything interests the Americans.
Their ideal usge is to solve problems
think that the Hoover plan is mani
festation of this urge. Not to be
afraid of ideas, words and things-that
is American. Their frankness is brutal,
but total. That should facilitate mat
terS."
M. Bernstein thinks that French
propaganda in the States is very poor,
especially when compared with Ger
man. He remarks, however, that
friendship for France is very strong.
The artist he admires most is Cath
crime Cornell. He wants to write a
play for her, when he goes back soon to
America. What he likes best in the
talkies are the gang pictures; he thinks
they are full Of life! He is awed by the
fact that the film industry in America
must produce $50 original pictures q.
year, and he thinks that the ideal type
Of talkie writer has not yet been found.

10000 Have Dengue
In LOOchOO Islands

TOKIO.-A tropical disease believed
to be Gengue fever has reached such
proportions in the Loochoo Islands, the
stepping stone between the southern
part of Japan and Formosa, that more
than 10000 of the 100000 inhabitants
have been infected. The epidemic shows
no signs of termination, and the usual
routine of activity in the islands is
suspended.
AS most of the physicians on the
largest island in the group, Okinama,
where the disease is worst, have them
selves contracted the fever, medical aid
is being sent from cities in Japan. The
Institute for Study of Infectious Dis
eases. in Toxic, has commissioned one
of its experts to collect data for use in
research that may determine how the
disease is transmitted and how to i'm
munize against it.
In the principal city of Okinama.
Naha, many primary schools are closed
indefinitely and the STATS of post Of
fees and all other public institutions
have been depleted to such an extent
that work Is virtually at standstill.

loss Of seats and of power to Labor
But Labor will fight that battle on the
issue of capital with the international
financier as its immediate target and
with a franker employment OF dema-
gogic appeal than ever before. Having
lost battle but begun war. Labor
will wait, as it can afford to wait
AS for Macdonald. he presents one
of the most interesting pictures of our
own time. During the exciting days of
thes London Naval Conference he sud-
denly astounded an international press
meeting by bursting into an eloquent
harangue about Stonewall Jackson.
The strategy of the Naval Conference
was that of the rebel general; the pend
ing phase was like the march to the
Potomac. This outburst from paci-
fist prime minister frankly bewildered
the American audience.
Role Like Jackson's.
"It is simple enough" the most bril-
liant of Labor journalists later ex-
planned to his puzzled colleagues. do
you remember the poem
up the street came the rebel tread,
Stonewall Jackson riding ahead?
That's what got Macdonald. When
he went to the Rapidan and met
Hoover he heard about Jackson and
read about him. And the rebel gen.
eral caught his Imagination; he saw
himself playing the Jackson role He
never was able to read about the battle
of Waterloo without fancying himself
at the head of the Old Guard, which
would die but never surrender You
think of him as pacif1st, but in fact
he is romanticist; you talk of him as
a radical. but actually he is beyond all
else an actor the greatest British actor
since Garrick. And if he ever has the
chance to play st. George for England
against the dragon-God help the Labor
party"
That is exactly what has happened.
The role of St. George was suddenly
thrust upon him. And it was so like
him, when emerging from the con-
ference at which his party had de-
clined to join in the new crusade that
the watchful journalists. his head
buried in his hands, his frame shaken
by emotion of parting from his lifelong
associates. But a few hours later he
reappeared. proud and confident in the
role of national savior.
No one should conclude that, be-
cause he enjoys and even exploits his
emotions, they are insincere. On the
contrary, Macdonald has infinite ca
pacity for suffering. He is of the stuff
OF which martyrs are made, but not
militantS. He is incapable of suffering
privately. The tears which come so
readily are covered by his hands, but
through his fingers he still perceiveS
the camera.
This capacity for infinite dramatiza-
ton marks the whole Of MacDonald's

row. if George Bernard Shaw Is
right, ViScount Lossiemouth, is a figure
not unfamiliar in our own time. 1t is
the figure of a revolutionist who, at
the critical moment, could not take the
final step.
Every continental capital, save Mos
COW, is today full of Russians who were
pink before 1917, but who when Boil
Shevism famed into fiery red stepped
aside in horror. The French Revolu-
ton turned up the same type. With
the recent crisis in Britain the strug-
gle between the masses and the classes
came to a square issue; the whole CAPT
talistic system was at stake. And IN
the hour of decision Macdonald proved
a pacifist in class war, as he had been
in the World War.
The issue was net: Poverty or prop
erty, the pound sterling or the poor
mans dole. For Macdonald, national
credit suddenly became more important
than class considerations. In word,
the revolution which this man had
started outgrew him; he could not fol-
low the principles OF his party to their
logical conclusion.
Enthusiastically, when the first bitter
ness was over, there was profound
sense of relief in the ranks of the La

an impossible situation and an equally
impossible leader. The situation was
impossible because the party had to
carry on a government in conformity
with a system it was out to destroy,
and its fortunes were directed by man
who at heart was not revolutionary,
but at most a reformer; whose SYM
pathies were radical, but whose prin-
ciples were fundamentally conservative.
Decisive British Date.
The departure of Macdonald, how
ever, marks a decisive date in the his
tory of the British revolution. There is
little of Bolshevist fury in it and none
of the ''heads-rolling- int he-sand" bust
ness of the German National Socialists.
But British Socialism is determined to
bring about a redistribution of the
wealth of England, and at heart it is
ruthless. The thing it intends to do.
is something quite different from the
rosewater and smelling salts reforms of
Macdonald While there is no guillo-
tine and no Cheka in LaborS program,
there also Is no quarter for capital.
Had Macdonald been able to impose
his will upon his party, Labor would
have been finished, because 1t would
have sacrificed its principles. 1t would

Parents Urged
to AnSwer All
ChiMS Queries


Answering children'S questions is
not always an easy thing to do.
Mrs. Walter Greenough in lee
ture on that subject, before the
Child Study Club of School No. rs,
told the mothers that children's
questions often are nuisance, they
are so numerous and inconsequen-
tial, but nevertheless the answering
OF every question is important.
-.''It is difficult to accomplish two
things at once, perhaps bake a
cake, and think of an answer for
why is wind wind?' or What
makes glass glass?'" she said. 1t
is not alone for the information
imparted-often that is incompre-
hensible to the child-but for the
activity of mind it develops, she
said.
1t is essential too, that an answer
be given at the time of the query,
perhaps just one to satisfy, then
later the question-door as the
speaker picturesquely called it, can
be opened and more thoroughly dis
cussed, this affording an opportun-
ity to teach the use of the diction-
airy and reference books.

Don't ask
me mh.yl''

Excuses a man seems never to
understand; explanations that are
embarrassing. Women who have
learned of Midol avoid these I'M
, pleasant experiences!
Midol is not narcotic, but it does
Danish the suffering which too often
attends the monthly period. 1t acts
quite harmlessly, bat effectively, on
the organs affected. Safe, but swift;
complete comfort comes In five to
seven minutes. You will get this re-
lief regardless Of how hard a time
you've always had. These wonder
full tablets do nothing to hinder the
normal, natural periodic process, so
it's only common sense to use them.
+ If you would spare yourself all
suffering at this time, get Midol in a
trim little metal case for purse or
pocket. Fifty cents at any drug
store. Many have found Midol the
quickest relief for headaches,
neuralgia, neuritis, and other pain.

Writings of French Educator
Topic of Speaker at Meeting

Lander MacClintock, associate
professor of romance language at
Indiana university, spoke on Jean
Jacques Rousseau, French Writer
and Educator OF the Eighteenth
Century" before the meeting of the
Alliance Franchise Wednesday night
at the Spink-Arms.
Rousseau was one of the most
influential thinkers of his time, y
said Professor MacClintock, land
many Of his ideas were written into
the Constitution of the United
States, as some of the trainers of
that document were familiar with
his writings, and were influenced
by his theories of liberty and equal
ity.
1.-THE fundamental idea running
through Rousseaus work." said
Mace lintock, SIS that nature is good,
but civilization is bad, and that any
attempt of man to improve must
be by returning to.a state of nature.
