 Paris = (U.P.) - A living spy is necessarily a man or woman or many talents. Brainless renegades or clumsy informers have short shrift in the most exacting pro fession in the world. They finish either before the firing squad, in wartime, or in the prisoners dock fin days of comparative peace.
 Hundreds of thousands of men and women, in and out of uni- form, are professional spies to-day: The struggle between them ana fhe hundreds of secret police In every country is relentless. There is a headline every week, telling or fhe snaring of 70 spies, in Ru- mania, the breaking of an Inter- national Syndicate in Paris, or a combination of spying and pols- oning in Finland.
 Secret police have had the up per hand since the war, but those hectic years from 1914 to l9lo were a field day for spydom. Mas ferful spies, men and women, rose from the masses and their coups are still bright bits in the history of espionage.

 DESCENT IS BACK
Pretender to Throne of
 France More Interested in Crops
By SAMUEL DASHIELL limited Press Stan Correspondent


 Paris, Feb 23.-(UP)-Another claimant to the Bourbon throne about the fortieth in existence, though one of the most plausible --has been discovered in the Azores.
 Hearing that descendant of the lost Dauphin of France, the little son of Louis XVI. was living on the island of San Miguel, the principal and the prettiest island of the Azores group, L'Illustra- tion of Paris sent special corre- spondent, Paul Bartel, from the claims. Interest in the fate of the young Dauphin, who was left in the care of the none too scrup- tIlous Simon, has never Jagged in France, and any trip. however re- mote Is considered worth the trouble to investigate, because there are many partisans to the belief that the Dauphin was car ried off and hidden, after an easy bargain with his keeper, Simon.
 The last pretender to be thus found is a Portuguese subject, Joachim Capeto, born 1863, a farmer in the little village of San AnIOnlO, near bTEIdHLdB "hCl V the mysterious French Prince" is supposed to have landed "after a revolt in France" The name of this French prince was Louis Capet (the name of the royal family and his daughter, Maria, born in 1904, bore Antonio Fran cisco Capet Vasconcellos, who was the father of the present Joachim Capeto, the family name becom' ing more Latiinized. Joachim Ca peto, or Capet. has eight children by his wife Isabello. of whom one is named Louis, and if the legend is true, would be the Dauphin ol France, on the Bourbon side.

Susan B. Anthony's
Home i'm Rochester
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Inasmuch as The Star has indicated
that Thursday, February Is, Is the
birthday Of Susan B. Anthony, and
inasnuch as there Is to be some
celebration Of 1t by militant women,
in Washington and elsewhere, why
not state to these women-as well as
male admirers Of the great work Of
Miss Anthony-that her home at II
Madison street, Rochester, has about
it now no greater glamour than that
of a boarding house, to such estate
has it fallen, and suggest that 1t
might be worth while to rescue it
from such a fate?
The years of Miss Anthony's most
notable achievements were dwelt
therein and under its roof lived her
sister, Mary, ever her faithful helper.
Although New York City and the
Nation was willing that the house Of
Monroe, at Prince and Bayard streets,
be given over to a rag warehouse and
were also willing later that 1t be de-
molished, perhaps q kindlier attitude
will be taken toward the place that
was for so many years the home Of
Susan B. Anthony.

Circumstances

Circumstances
It's a hard world to abide in
With its many jolts and jars.
There are better planets, maybe,
Way up yon among the stars;
But there's no road built to reach
'em;
We must keep this mundane groove
Trying still to make it smoother,
For We can't pack up and move.
Don't let it be q storehouse
OF trouble and of care,
But give it your attention
And help keep it in repair.
This earth has many features
Which the thoughtful disapprove,
But We may as well be cheerful,
For we can't pack up and move.

Susan B. Anthony.

Annually on February IS a legion OF
devoted friends and followers of Susan
s. Anthony celebrate the anniversary
Of her birth, and as the years pass
the number of those who unite in the
commemoration increases. Today there
will be homage to her memory in a
score of different cities. including the
Nations Capital, and it is fitting and
proper that 1t should be so.
Miss Anthony, her biographers
agree, was what commonly is>called
strong minded woman" One OF
her grandmothers was q Quaker
preacher; her mother was brave
enough to defy" the meeting; her
father was a prohibitionist and an
abolitionist. Thus her heredity was
exactly what one would expect in such
a case as hers; she came into the
world with a psychological inheritance
of non-conformity. And she grew
up in an atmosphere of independence
and moral ZEAL" with the result that
the natural inclination of her intelli-
gence was constructively Influenced
by the forces of environment.
No wonder, then, that she was q
"precocious child" learning to read
and write at three. Keen observation,
a marvellous memory and a sensitive
conscience combined to direct her
path into teaching and social reform.
She distrusted amusements, cam
paigned against the theater and the
wiekedness of "all-dsbasing wine" and

Ambassador Saito.

President Roosevelt has received the
credentials of Mr.. Hirosi Sa1ro, new
ly-accredited Japanese Ambassador
to the United States, and exchanged
with him the greetings customary on
such occasions. While the statements
of both the President and the Am
bassador are couched in the usual
terms of cordiality, they take on q
special significance because Mr.. Saito's
arrival in Washington synchronizes
with q recurrence in both countries Of
Japanese American war" talk. The
talk, it must be said, has been going
on for the most part in Japan and
been merely reproduced here as news
of the latest ebullitions Of the Toxic
militarist- -imperialists who obviously
revived their anti-American campaign
this Winter for the purpose of secur-
ing the passage Of Japan's record
army and navy budget.
Both President Roosevelt and AM
baSsador Saito refer to the Japanese
envoy's previous service In this coun-
try, where he has spent the major
part of his oficial life. None Of Mr..
Saito's predecessors in washington
was possessed of his extensive knowl-
edge Of the American people, of their
Institutions and, in Mr.. Roosevelt's
words, Of their single-minded devo-
ton to the promotion of peace and
international accord" The Ambassa-
dor is therefore uniquely equipped to
interpret American policy to his gov
ernment and people. In the case Of
Japan, that policy is a traditional and
perfectly transparent one. 1t calls for
maintenance of amity and friendship
with the great island empire, for a
continuance of mutually advantageous
trade relations and for genuine CO.
operation with the Japanese in the
Far East within the framework of in
ternational treaties to which both
countries are signatories..
Mr.. Saito mentions in a statement
to the press that the repeal of the
American immigration law Of 1924 ex-
cluding japanese from the quota basis
would automatically advance the cause
Of Japanese American understanding.
On that score it is perhaps sufficient
to point out that although the ex-
clusion provision was inserted in the
immigration law mainly at the behest
of Californian and other Pacific Coast
interests, an extensive and influential
group representing them now earnestly
advocates granting Japan quota rights.
Exclusion rankles necessarily in Japan.
Little is said about it publicly or by
responsible Japanese statesmen, but
it is acknowledged to be a thorn in
the side of the nations pride. AS
long as that portion Of the United
States, In the interest of which ex-
clusion was enacted, apparently no
longer demands it, the way would seem
to be open for reconsideration.
Washington, in any event, welcomes
Ambassador Saito to what he, with
his fluent command of the American
language" calls back home" and
wishes him an abundantly successful
mission in perpetuating friendship
between Japan and the United States.

There are various ways OF pursuing
elusive fame. Rear Admiral Byrd

predict that after next November Mr..

knows? When he stands for reelection
