Theft ef Watch handspring Invention
Believed Beginning of Publicity Methods

NEW YORK CITY.-Beaumarcha
French dramatist, was perhaps the first
man in Europe to utilize modern pub
liclty methods, it is disclosed in unpub-
llSned notes and manuscripts recently
made available to Prof Felix Gaiffe of
the University of Paris, visiting pro-
lessor Of French at Columbia University.
The documents, held privately in the
BeaumarchaiS family for more than one
hundred years and opened to Prof.
GalHe by M. Delarue de Beaumarchais,
French Ambassador to Italy, revealed
the efforts of the dramatist to get his
name In the newspapers of the period
when, working as a matchmaker at the
age OF Il, he perfected an improved
handspring, a valuable addition to the
tlmepleceS OF the eighteenth century.
When the device was stolen" Prof
Gal1e explained, "Beaumarchais saw
news in the occurrence and, realizing
the value of publicity, went directly to
the newspapers relating a dramatic
story OF the theft Of his invention.
The missing invention was soon dis
covered in the possession of another
craftsman. Beaumarchais Immediately
started a series of lawsuits, carefully
informing the newspapers Of his plans.
HIS stirring letters to the press were
printed and widely read The young
matchmaker, by these methods, built
himself into something of a popular
hero. His playwriting he regarded as
OF small importance, preferring to think
OF himself as q business man."
Beaumarchais' dramatic productions,
notably "The Marriage of Figaro" were
almost entirely created to the rehears-

The Memorial Theater also is a great

IN mind in the design of the stage,
which is the most flexible in the coun-
try. 1t was necessary to find accom-
mediation for eight plays a week and
possibly a hundred scenes The stage
does not revolve, but is so designed
that four or more settings can be
changed in a few seconds. At each
side are bays. in which are movable
platforms, and these are set and rolled
on to replace the scene that is Just

Opening of Beautiful Avon Theater
Will Mark Shakespeare's Birthday

LONDON.-One of the most impor-
tant events of the year will be the
opening by the Prince of Wales of the
new Shakespeare Memorial Theater at
Stratford-on-Avon on April %, the
poets birthday anniversary.
The prince was consulted as to
which play should be given at the
first performance. The list submitted
consisted of Henry w. Part y,
Julius Caesar" "A Midsummer Night S
Dream las You Like It." Twelfth
Night" and King Lear" all of which
will be given during the Spring season.
Mr.. Bridges Adams again will be the
producer. but the scenery for the
various plays will be designed by such
well known designers as Aubrey Ham
mond, George Sheringham and Nor
man Wilkinson.
Visitors from all over the world are
expected at the opening of the theater
and they will find on the banks of the
Avon a beautifully proportioned build
ing, from the tower of which they will
have glorious views of Stratford and
the surrounding country.
One of the most attractive features
OF the outside of the theater are the
terraces that extend practically all
around the building. 1t will be possible
to arrive at the theater by boat and
approach the main entrance by tagged
steps from the river. During the in

least the ocean-going types, a COM
promise is possible, although the
French, Italians and japanese consid-
er the deep-sea boats an indispensable
defensive weapon.
One significant fact as the confer
ence progresses appears to be the
gradual diScarding of Japans activities
in the Far East as an alibi. At first
the Sino-Japanese war" was greeted
joyously by opponents of disarmament
as irrefutable proof that nations could
not afford to weaken their means of
self-defense. The French seized upon
the Shanghai incident as an additional
argument that the League must have
power to enforce its DEGREES against
any state-member found guilty of ag-
gresSion against another state. Out
of this grew Premier Tardieus demand
for internationalization of aviation and
also the proposal for putting land. sea
and air forces at the disposal of the
League Council. Now it is admitted
that even had Japan not run amok in
Manchuria, the fundamental policies
of France and other countries would
have been the same
So far as really constructive pro-
posals have gone however the French
thesis is on par with the Russian
There have been developed two methods
for preventing successful conference:
one, by asking something admittedly
unattainable, as Litvinoff and Tardieu
have done; the other, by insisting upon
minimum which would constitute less
than nothing. In either case the result
would be the same, death to disarma
ment either by overfeeding or attrition.
Finding the greatest common denom-
inator of the mass of proposals, schemes
and recommendations which have been
placed before the conference is we'll
nigh impossible. Twenty-nine of the

THE Turkish law, which makes
drunkenness an offense and imposes a
penalty upon any saloonkeeper who al
lows his clients to become intoxicated,

tary administration of Palestine To-
day 1t is absolutely neglected. and the

An analysis of the import figures
shows that there has been an increase
in the amount of liquor introduced into
Palestine, but not an alarming increase.
The returns for 1880, which are the
latest available, give the quantities as
1901 gallons CT spirits and 1876 591
gallons of ale, beer, porter and cider.
This does not compare SO badly with
the figures for the previous year, which
are approximately 9,062 gallons of spirits
and 1920 gallons Of ale, beer, porter
and cider.

BY ALBIN E. JOHNSON.

- ENEVA-The first chapter OF
the International Disarma
7 ment Conference is about tC
~ end. On March 10 the first
adjournment will be taken
Delegates will depart for more pleasant
climeS or for their respective capitals
to consult their governments on de-
velopmentS to date and on future
moves. After the Easter holidays
april A. the spokesmen of the So
odd countries attending the parley will
return to Geneva to get down to really
hard work.
The actual results of the Disarma-
ment Conference thus far have beer
negative. The delegations have learned
what they cannot do. The Russian
straw man of complete disarmament
has been shot to pieces. Litvinoff' S
dream has, for once and for all, been
blasted. Tardeu's fantastic scheme for
a League army and air force also is
distinctly taboo Berlin's bid for arma-
ments equality likewise has been re-
fused and any treaty now negotiated
can in no way nullify, for the mo-
ment, the disarmament clauses of the
peace treaty in so far as Germany,
Austria, Bulgaria and Hungary are
concerned. The Hitlerite cloud on the
Eastern European horizon. or the
threat of an 1talo-Russian block, with
Germany as the hyphen, have not
stampeded Messrs Tardieu and Paul
Boncour. And there is no reason to be-
lieve that the impending elections in
France will eradicate the psychology
Of fear which makes it imperative that
any Paris government, if it is to en-
dure, provide for security on the Rhine
front and naval supremacy in the
Mediterranean over Mussolinis Fascist,
Flood of Oratory Passes.
The flood of oratory that deluged the
conference during the past four weeks
of general debate has passed like an
April shower. 1t was good reading for
the home folks and a concession to the
100000 who signed petitions pre-
sented to the conference. Scarcely q
trace of the Utopian projects is left.
The special conditions" attached to
each delegations magnanimous offers,
made certain in advance rejection by
other countries as avenues of escape.
So far as disarmament" itself is
concerned, it still remains an ideal for
which future generations may con-
tinue to strive. Reduction" of exist
ing armaments is a possibility, but
hardly PROBABILITY. Limitation" in
so far as certain types of fighting
equipment are concerned, appears rea-
sonably certain.
One result that may emerge from
the conference is the greater "hu-
manization" of war Practical unanim-
ity has developed in regard to pro-
hibition Of chemical and bacteriologi-
cal warfare, aerial and long-range
bombardments with incendiary or high
explosive bombs of unfortifed cities,
unrestricted submarine activities and
tactics intended to terrorize civilian
and non-combatant populations.
Another will be the general agree
ment to discard obsolete or near -ob-
solete weapons. In this category may
fall monster battleships and dread
naughts of the British. japanese and
American NAYies. provided the United
States can secure compensation for
lack Of cruising radius by limiting
British and japanese naval bases. On

Adjustments by Germany.
Thus far the Germans are the only
ones demanding the abolishment of
all land Notifications. They also ask
that all international sea routes should
be -militarized. FortificationS at
Gibraltar, Suez, Panama Canal and the
North Sea should be razed The Films
go a step further and urge de-mili-
tarized zones wherever there is a danger
of war. To assure themselves that all
countries are carrying out their treaty
obligations, should a disarmament
treaty miraculouSly become reality,
some sixteen countries have proposed
the formation of an International Con-
blOl SOlIiiIllSSlOll uIIucl IIlC duSpiSCo Va
the League of Nations to scrutinize
ornaments of suspected governments.
Neither Russia nor the United States
will consent to such a supervision,
however, so it is exceedingly doubtful
that the idea will be developed. On
the other hand, Japan, Poland, Fin
land and several states bordering
Soviet Land insist that they cannot
accept any treaty the faithful observ-
ance of which is guaranteed only by
Moscow's unsecured word.
Although it has been decided that
the basis for discussion will be the
much -maligned Draft Treaty. labor
iously constructed by the Preparatory
Commission during five long years of
argument and debate, any government
is free to introduce amendments radi-
cally changing the treatys framework.
The political ramifications, which are
developing, indicate that when and If
pact is finally fabricated, 1t will be
one of the craZiest international quilts
ever put together.
AS things stand at the end of the
initial chapter of the worlds first Dis
armament Conference, only incorrigi-
BILE opt1mists find reason to rejoice.
But they are among those who consider
that the Conference has already been
g limited success in that 1t was con-

LONDON. - Increasing drunkenness
In the Holy Land, as revealed in the
report issued by the United Committee
on Native Races, is causing a good deal
of discussion in this country. The
statement that intoxicated men walk
unashamed through the streets of Jeru-
salem, where under the Turkish regime
no one dreamed of doing So has come
as shock to some people.
Miss Agnes Slack, an Englishwoman
who has recently been living in Pales-
tine and who gave evidence before the
committee. has some interesting things
to say about the changing conditions in
the land that has had such a stormy
history since the days when Christ
preached His Gospel of Peace there and
children met him at the gates of
Jerusalem with palms in their hands.
IT was very interested to know if
Palestine was prospering under our
mandate" she said, 80 during my visit
there I took every opportunity of OBJ
serving conditions Naturally, as a
member Of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union, was interested in
everything connected with the sale and

not go in an official capacity. I had
only ordinary facilities for making my
observations.
Drinking More Open.
81 think that the trouble is not SO
much the actual increase in drinking.
though that is definitely so. as the
changing attitude toward drunkenness
and the growing facilities for obtaining
all kinds of drinks More licenses are
being issued all over the country The
Mohammedan religion forbids its fol-
lowers to drink or deal in spirituous
liquors, so that these licenses are mostly
IN the hands Of Jews.
THE Jew is not a total abStainer
but as far as I could see, the Jew in
Palestine. even the saloonkeeping
Jew, does very little drinking. Most of
this drinking is still done by Christians,
but the MoslemS are learning MoSlemS
have drunk liquor in the past, in spite
of religious prohibitions but they did
not drink openly. They went to private
places and consumed it in secret, hid
den from the disapproving eyes of
friends and relatives.
The new generation, growing up
under the mandate, has a different out
look, though how far our mandate is
responsible 1 cannot say. The young
Mohammedan is definitely less religious
and there is a general slackness in his
pehavlor which would not have been
possible under the old Turkish rule.
i do not say this in praise of the
Turkish regime, as there is no COR
parison between Palestine under the
mandate and under the Turk.
THE material conditions of life have
improved enormously The streets of
Jerusalem are clean and well cared for,
and the whole country promises to be-
come land of milk and honey, as
foretold in the Scriptures. It is re-
RTettable. however, that drinking should
