He espouses the naval view that cur

would relish a policy of skimping the

as Armiral Beatty's flag captain and is

Mystery of Cathedral
Noises Grows Deeper

ROME.-The mystery of the ca
thedral of Cerignola, near Bari, which
has baffied church and civil authorities
for more than year, has just taken
on new and even more perplexing
aspects. Since last Spring, passersby
in the late hours of the night, when
the cathedral is supposed to be shut
and locked, claim to have heard the
organ playing and a voice singing
Whenever the sounds have been in
vestigated, however, the church has
been found to be empty.
Recently youth of the town thought
he heard sounds of some one digging
with a pick inside the church. He
called the sacristan, who in turn
summoned the police, and the party
entered the church. The sound ceased
Immediately, but the party had located
1t as coming from an ancient tomb un-
der the floor of the nave. When the
tomb was opened, it was found that
some one actually had been digging in
it, and heap of freshly dug earth lay
at one side of the excavation.
Police have thus far completely failed
to discover the author of the strange
digging or the reason for it. Credulous
townsmen have begun to talk of a
miracle"

Hall of Fame Has Eight Vacancies
Through Death of John Calsworthy

LONDON-With John Galsworthy's
death creating the eighth vacancy in
the British Hall of Fame or Order OF
Merit, there is much speculation here
as to what action King George will take
to bring the order up to something like
its full strength.
The order was founded by King Ed
ward in 1902 and is limited to "a full
fledged British members with the addi-
ton of foreign honorary members. For
long time it has been under strength,
state of affairs for which the sovereign
filnSef is responsible, as he has the
sole privilege of appointing the 1mmor-
tails. Although women are eligible, none
has ever been given this high honor.
No Soldier Members.
In the view of many of his subjects
their is today an abundance of eminence
hereabouts, even though the Kings will
lirgness to permit the order to fall to
two-thirds of its stipulated strength
might give the unobservant the impress
sion that there was a famine in out
standing worthless.
The military membership includes
three sailors but no soldier The sailors
are Admiral Earl Jellicoe. Admiral Earl
Beatty and Admiral Sir Charles Edward
Madden. The sole foreign honorary
member also Is a sailor, Admiral Count
Evening star., 1933-04-02

LONDON-There is every indication
that the British people will be asked
to put up another $3.50, 900 900 for the
navy in the forthcoming budget. And,
judging by the absence of any real
criticism on that score, the taxpayers
still are prepared to pay till it hurts
for the first line of insurance, the sure
shield" as it is so often described.
The cost per head in taxation today is
the equivalent of $84 at the normal
rate of exchange, and the annual out
lay on the navy represents nearly II
cents of the income tax.
But apart from the deep-rooted effect
which has been obtained by assertions
that Great Britain has gone the limit
in naval curtailment. and that there
must be no more one-Sided reduction,
there is a feeling that the situation
in the Far East is far from healthy.
In short, unless the senior f1ghtlng
service asks for too much, there Is a
general acceptance of the necessity OIL
handing over what the experts say 1t
needs. Certainly a House of Commons
that is overwhelmingly Tory IN COM
plexion will take that attitude.
Claim Greater u. S. Personnel
So far as personnel is concerned. 1t
Is asserted that Great Britain Is now
at a decided disadvantage with the
United States. The total British per
sonnel is given as 91.410, the United
States 1886, and japan 10000. 1t is
further contended that this country
also has fewer reservists.
1t is claimed in some quarters that
by 1936-when the London Treaty ex-
pires-Great Britain will, at the pres
ent rate of construction, be below the
specified standard of strength as to
106.220 tons of cruisers, 1853 of de-
stroyers. and 11,491 of submarines
These estimates, it is pointed out, agree

clearly that it was to be understood that
two years following the conclusions of
the peace" :. their anniversaries should
likewise proceed upon a limitation of
their armaments and abolish compul-
sorry military service"
The response of the Allies on June
16 did not contain the slightest reserve
On these matters. On the contrary, it
confirmed that "the Allied powers and
their associates recognize that Ger
many's acceptance of the terms fixed
for her disarmament will facilitate and
hasten the realization of a general re-
duction of armamentS"; that the dis
armament of Germany constitutes 'the
first step toward a reduction and gen.
eral limitation of armaments and
realization of one of the best methods
Of preventing war;
THE prevention of war" In other
words, they sought the source of
security.
This was in the period of sincerity.
The world had just emerged from tur-
moil and strife; it had not yet had time
in which to forget; it had not yet con-
suited the military experts.
At Geneva the military experts turned
everything to nought; most of the tech
nical discussions of disarmament
amounted to little more than the dis
cussions of merchants who meet to sac
rifice reciprocally obsolete and out
moded stocks with the view to the
possibility of replacing them with newer
and more modern wares. Those who
took part in these discussions at Geneva
probably regretted that halberds and
tWo-handed swords already had been
relegated to the museums; they would
willingly have entered into negotia-
tions to assure the people of the world
OF this new benefit-the suppression of
engines of war SO barbarous and so
simple as to be scarcely taken seriously.
No People Like War.
No people, if left to themselves. like
war Prussia in the fiery days of Fichte
and Korner Prussia burning under the
futile humiliations that Napoleon in
flicted upon her, contributed to the
famous army of 1918 scarcely 10000
volunteers of the 100000 men who
served. Korner sang of the holy war;
but the Landwehr volunteers deserted
in mass.
There had been in the Germany of
Wilhelm II-unquestionably the most
impoverished intellectual period of her
history-a multitude of authors who
exalted the beauty and glory of war.
But after all, the Germans in their
turn could Gull rich collection of
French sentiments defending the idea
of war. Only IL months before the be-
ginning of the Great Butchery, on Sep
tember 7, 1913, there was published in
Paris the following:
"A generation should strive to leave
to its defendants the great virtue of an
intelligence developed in perilous and
ordered energy and by death squarely
faced. From this serious discipline, from
this sense of vibrant reality and de-
cision, art and literature take those
military qualities which, when they are
carried into the domain of ideas, make
true workmen and great works.
Evening star., 1933-04-02

unfortunate are the nations with
out history which seek their praise from
the proverbs of towards and to whom
the heroic enlivenment of danger has
been too long spared.
1.-The redoubtable imbeciles who
preach paciism-and these unfortunate
idealists do not doubt themselves
preach the degradation of their nation S
culture and spirit. We should justly fear
all this Byzantine vice If France were
infected with it. What consolation it is
to be able to state today that there is
none of this within our country.
"Yes, war is truly holy regenera-
tion, since its sole idea is to re-estab-
lish the vigor and the courage OF the
national spirit"
These words were written by one Of
Frances most celebrated and out
standing writer's, Paul Bourget, who,
after Charleroi and the invasion, could
realize and witness at his ease what
he he'd so ardently desired. "the war
of holy regeneration" and "the heroic
enlivenment of danger" which he
might have added with Joy was no
longer too long spared" to his
country.
Hitler Changes Scales.
Certainly, what has greatly changed
the scales is the recent triumph OF
the Nazis in Germany. Last January,
before sailing for America, l remained
a few days in France. All Paris-the
so-called "militarist" Paris-was swarm
ing to see beautiful anti-war films like
Les Croix de Bois" or 81 Homme Que
J'ai Tue" On Sunday, at the
cinema, where for months they have
been giving the famous German flm.
"All Quiet OH the Western Front, y
additional policemen were necessary,
SO big was the crowd anxious to find
seats.
On the same days the same film had
been forbidden throughout Germany,
and the author, Remarque, obliged to
leave for Switzerland, to become an
exile.
Even more, to complete the compar-
ison, while I was writing, read in the
Berlin papers that the outstanding sue
cess at the gigantic cinema, owned by
Herr Hugenberg, the Nationalist min
lister, is a stupid film, THE Rebel. p"
whose only merit is to show enthusiastic
crowds a few thousand French being
killed in an ambush by patrlotlc
Tyrolese and Bavarians-
Such a state of things is sufficient to
explain the critical present position OF
the Geneva Conference for disarma-
ment.
But even without the errors of the
past which I have discussed in the first
part of this article-and even without
the dangerous change of the situation
in Germany-one must admit that
some serious tactical errors were COM
mitted by the French delegation Our
ing the first period of the conference.
These errors help to explain how it Is
possible that for some time (even be
fore the Hitlerian triumph) the talk
of a possible deadlock at the confer
ence had begun to circulate, and this
not only in Fascist and nationalistic
| circles. but more or less everywhere.
