BERLIN, March 10. - German
satisfaction over foreign reception of
the compulsory service law turned to
anger today over an apparent Bri-
tish diplomatic maneuver.
The impression had been that
Great Britain was ready to negoti-

armament was an accomplished
fact
Realization that Britain'S note of
yesterday actually specified clearly
that the hated Versailles treaty
must be the basis, brought surprise
and anger.
The British note, it's terms fully
Comprehended, was called con-
sistent folloW-up to the British
white paper"-charging Germany
with militaristic spirit-which was
the starting point of the entire pre-

Germany, it was indicated, will in

that the BritiSh-French memoran-

ing negotiations leading to recogni-

that Germany already has rearmed.
This argument was advanced by
Chancellor Adolf Hitler in his pro-

And then one hears her story
and it is explained. She was brought
to this country when she was five
years old by her French parents.
They spoke no English. and from
that time on, all the outside world
school, her friends - was some
thing quite apart from that inner
world where she was alone with
those who loved her best. At first
there was the barrier of language
afterwards that of habit. The Col.
berts were alone. She could bring no
one with her into this closed circle.
And this is still true.
She says, now, that this is the
reason that she and her husband,
Norman Foster. have never lived
together in one house. 1t was hard
to explain this to the fan magazines,
50 she found another reason. 1T is
because we want always to be
sweethearts," she said. I'VE want
to preserve romance" And after a
while, she says, she began to believe
this herself.
But from the very start she
planned life for herself and her
husband well apart from that one
which she must share with her
mother and her aunt and the men,
ory of her dead father. She and
Norman Foster were to build a
mutual career. Like Alfred Lunt
and Lynn Fontaine. They would
always tlay together at least.
They had met in THE Barker"

TT WAS at Hollywood party and she
laughed. Out of the peculiarly nerve
shattering noise of many voices in a
small room, there rose this delicious
sound, fresh, gay and musical, and turned
to find the source.
She was talking to my small daughter. and
the child's face was gravely delighted.
Il saw you," said Pat. II saw you in
limitation of Life But there was too much
love IN that picture"
Much too much love-" agreed Claudette.
Much too much love, dear" And as she said
this her face was suddenly little sad.
So I who had never met her knew two, no
three. things about her. She had a gift of
gaiety, she was not happy, and she was
charming. Further, there was nothing pro-
fessional about that charm. for it is impossible
to trick child into adoring you. 1t was as
innate and natural as her laugh.
Iikedher Everyone likes her. The thought
This is a nice woman, " is the instant reaction
to meeting her. A woman who does not know

not interested in them as such, told me that

there" and Claudette, laughing, called back,
Hello yomself!'
If one knows the icy disdain with which
some of Claudette's contemporary stars would
have treated this lady, it is easy to realize Just
how different and refreshing she is.
Naturally, this girl likes to play comedy
She loved 1T Happened One Night, and it
was no accident that her acting in that picture
should have been selected by the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as the out
standing performance of 1894, nor that the
picture should have been chosen as the years
most distinguished screen offering. But before
that picture made history and new comedi-
enne ofone who had always been 50 pictorially
oppressed and tragic, she begged for the
chance to play Three -Cornered Moon"
because of its comedy possibilities - and was
considerably chagrined to find that Ruth
Gordon wanted to play it on the stage because
it was 50 dramatic.
And yet with all this and in spite of all this,
she Is so isolated. Here is this deliciously
pretty woman who is fun, who has real wit
and the gift of talk. Yet she is apart always
apart. 1t is so strange, 50 hard to understand
why this should be.

where she made her first hit. 1t seemed so
feasible. And then Norman Foster went to
Hollywood. And she stayed in New York.
And then she went to Hollywood. And he
came back to the stage.
AT first she had clause in her contract
that permitted her to return and do play
at any time she pleased, but she does not even
bother to keep that in any more. There has
never been time to come back. And the mutual
career9 There was not time for that either.
That she has had career at all seems
kind of accident. Because she was so pretty
and so intelligent when she was sixteen, a
friend, to whom she was giving French lessons,

Senator was present and voted.

merely supplemented the Federal
NRA and offered no chance of con-
f1ict with whatever Federal NRA
legislation is adopted in the future.
He called it a necessary aid in Presi-

program.
The opposition to this measure
has largely been the result of I'M

from Bourbon newspapers and a
small per cent of homeopathic

Al G. Feeney, state safety direc-

Shricker bill which would create a
bipartisan board to have general
supervision over the force.
Sufficient Senators supported his
ideas Thursday to send the bill
back to committee with instructions
to strike out the board feature.
Considering the statement made
by Senator Jacob Weiss ID, Indi-

that the administration is deter
mined to pass the bill in its present
form, the agreement to name a
compromise committee was looked
upon as another victory for Mr.
Feeney's supporters.
The committee will be named by
Senator j. Bright Webb 3D., Indi-
anapoliS), leader of the forces OPP
posing the board plan, and Senator
Schricker, author of the police bill.
After the conference, Senator
Weiss declared the caucus action
was for the best interests of the
Democratic party.

to resign Immediately if his OPP

Mr.. Feeney also was reported to

adhered to his idea that the board
