before it was realized that he was
one of its truly great actors. Those
80 years were filled with critical
eulogy for Mr.. Cohan as a person
who could play "his own brand of
stuff" in way to delight the heart
as the heart was not delighted by
any one else. But, in the opinion of
the professional critic, that was all
Mr.. Cohan could do.
1t was not until Eugene ONeill

father in that simple, contemplative
drama he revealed himself to be a
man with far more than talent for
writing and interpreting popular
entertainment, a player of stature
which was nothing short of aston
ishing to critics. For them, a new
light dawned and in its brightness
they pounded the news of their dis
covery with a vitality they, them
selves, hardly could believe.
1t was very pleasant sensation
for Mr.. Cohan, as for whom would it
not be, and since then he has lent his
talents more and more to the works
of other authors of entertainment.
His most spectacular success in that
direction, of course, was his portrait

Weygond or a Tactical Equal
Believed Sent to Save Poles
His Coming Would Be
Like Grants Presence
At Chickomougu
By COL. FREDERICK PALMER.

BY COL. FREDERICK PALMER.
Memory freshens in relation to the
present military situation at the
picture of Marshal Foch over his
maps. At his elbow was slender,
round headed Gen. Maxine Wey-
gand, Foch's other self. Weygand
could interpret Foch's quick, preg-
nant sentences and his very ges-
lures, which would have been con-
fusing to any one else. But to Wey-
gand they were clear, and he i'm
mediately translated them into Or
ders.
In 1920, when the young, un-
trained Polish Army, with inexpe-
rienced generals, was being desper-
ately pressed in the war with the
Soviets, the call was sent to Foch
to come or we perish And Foch
replied, Il am sending Weygand,
which, to Foch, was the same as If
he went himself Weygand grasped
the situation, and, by his chess play,
saved the Poles.
Today, the same call to Paris Is
in order. We know that Weygand
was sent to Syria before the out
break of the present war. But that
is a nominal task, since Mussolini
was disinclined to unloose the thun-
derbolts he had prepared to make
the Mediterranean an Italian lake.
Has Weygand Gone to Poland?
Is it possible Weygand has moved
on by plane to Poland? That he
is now with the Polish staff? His
coming would have the same mean
ing as Grants presence in the crisis
of Chickamauga.
And the Poles have another do
or-die spur if the news is, or can
be, passed on to them, of the gal
liant stand-to be immortal in Polish
history, win or lose-of the little
garrison of Westerplatte Fortress
for six days under the German bonn
bardment. For. beyond all strategy,
it is the fighting spirit of the SOL
diers which carries through staff
plans.
The hope of the allies must be
that, if not the veteran 72-year- old
Weygand. some French staff officer
of his ability is with the Poles. To
say that is to say that he is also
of the Gamelin type and of the
Foch school. AS chief of staff be-
fore his retirmenet, Weygand's
formative hand was on the French
Army of which Gen Gustave Marie
Gamelin, aide of Marshal Joffre in
the Marine campaign, is now chief
of staff.

have to wait for unity of command.

Guilty was not due to a meat short

short tons and some groups in the
industry have contended that his
estimate was in excess of consumers
needs"
Secretary Wallace stated the de-
partment will continue acreage re-
strictions next year on such major
products as cotton, corn, wheat, to-
bacco, rice, potatoes, peanuts and
commercial vegetables.
Except for wheat, farmers will
be asked to plant no more land to
these crops than this year. The
wheat program calls for an acreage
of 62,000,000, compared with 55,-
100000 this year.
Program Guided by Europe Crisis.
Farmers must plant within acreage
allotments given them by the de-
partment in order to be eligible
for s725 900 900 in benefit payments
and for Government loans on sur
plus commodities stored for future
release on markets.
The 1910 program, Secretary Wal
lace said, has been formulated in
the light of the European situation.
The aim of the program" he
said lis to maintain production
of agricultural commodities in this
country that will balance with the
demand, whatever that demand may
prove to be, and to maintain and i'm
prove the fertility of our farm land
Farmers interests are carefully safe
guarded in this program, which also
serves the public interest"
Mr.. Wallace emphasized that this
country has large surpluses of most
products and that increased pro-
duction would tend to cause a reac-
tion in prices to the detriment of
agriculture.
World Wheat Supply.
1t was pointed out that, in the
case of wheat, world supplies total
about 5,3OO,000O0O bushels, COM
pared with 3,700,OO0OOO when war
broke out in 1914. Most of the coun-
tries at war which buy from the
United States have accumulated
large reserves of the grain, officials
said, and consequently cannot be
expected to increase purchases above
normal for possibly another year
Analysts in the Bureau of Labor
Statistics were studying market fig
ures, wondering if commodity prices
would repeat their increases of the
World War. They agreed it was
too early in the present conflict to
evaluate the basic supply and de-
mand conditions.
Statisticians recalled that whole
sale prices of important commodi-
ties shot upward during the World
War, broke slightly after the armi-
stice, and then went on to reach
their peak in May and June, 1920

mand supreme at sea- The French
animated colonels and generals,
their soldiers in red trousers and
without enough heavy artillery, as in
1914 They have amassed an I'M
mense amount of heavy artillery
with which to pound the German
Siegfried line. Their numbers must
be at least those of the Germans
against them, with so many Ger
man divisions concentrated in Po-
land.
Profiting by the errors of the
World War, not to be drawn into
salients by attacks on narrow fronts,
their offensive is against more than
100 miles of line. Their reported
advance of 9 miles, their entry into
the Weinwald forest and break
ing down of the resistance at Lau-
terbourg at the hinge of the forti-
fed lines are most significant. Nine
miles is a big distance against the
obstacles they have overcome.
Will the Fortresses Stand?
Before the World War there was
widespread view that machine
gun fire would not permit the close
approach of firing lines. Trenches
were soon within a few yards OF
each other. Possibly the power of
modern heavy gun fire may smash
concrete fortresses, close gun aper-
lures with debris, smother the aper-
lures of the fire-control stations in
the tunnels.
Should the French be able to break
through the Siegfried Line from
Lauterbourg to Luxembourg, they
will soon have the advantage of
downhill slopes in the Rhine VAL
ley, with the Germans having their
backs to the Rhine Such a threat
would summon big German REIN
forcements from Poland.
