This does not mean, however, - that American rauncauon or the Paris reatv would be greeted by unanimous cheer?. It is rather the view of quiet people, who are tired of agitation. Certain political elements would, of nurse, seize on it as as excuse for farther disturbances as they - do on ery development in foreign -politics. For, like many otner things In Ger many today take for example, bread, susrar and coffee German politics is rsatz" (a substitute). It is not real. sues are not discussed with any idea f enlightening public opinion, but of securing party advantages. Parties kmsilves instead of 'being interested primarily in programs are interested in jobs. L he present government, which rests on the combination of many parties, has thus been obliged to multiply political sinecures beyond all reason. Office-holders today are the ones who are doing the agitating. Therefore, much of the constant com plaining i n Germany may be dis counted for it is Intended for home consumption. While local elements continue to proclaim against France, there is, strangely enough, in' the under-cur-rents of discussion a renewed desire for the "strafing" of England. This. pn-haps. is a healthy sign, for it may iidicate that the Germans expect an early resumption of trade where in England will be a farstronger com- etitor than France. The loss to Eng land, through the peace settlement. of the German merchant marine begins :o rankle more deeply as trade pros- ects improve. Anyhow," said an official today, we know where we are with the French. They hate us. But -the ring- are sly. They are always trying to drive a sharp bargain and to cheat." ihe recent improvement In all the European exchanges, which likewise sms to have been based largely on he optimistic outlook toward a re- hmption of trade, is nevertheless re vived with some apprehension in Ger many. Every rise of the mark in- rrasfs the cost of German goods to wieners and means that the prices 'ill either have to be cut or the orders annot , be tilled. Frequently prices an not bt cut without a loss. Thus, 'hatever else is done in the resump- on of trade must depend largely on 'abilization of the exchange.

Organized labor s policy in , matters involving wage adjustments will hereafter em phasize the Idea of a subsistance wage rather" than the mere reckoning of wages In money. So rapidly has the dollar fluctuated In value since the beginning of the World war that its utility as a measure of values has been small. Figures have tabulated, under the direction of Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, which. It is prob able, will serve as a basis for wage negotiations generally, when employers ask lower scales. In brief, the idea Is that organized labor recognizes very clearly that the number of dollars a man receives each week is comparatively unimportant; the thing that really matters is wheth er those dollars will buy any thing, or not. The establishment of a basic re lation between wages and living costs in expected to prove of great value In the future, since once such a relation has been determined fluctuation in prices can be met promptly by advanc ing or. if necessary, reducing wages. It is probable that in some li HAD Of industry, at least wage reductions will have to be faced. With what good grace organized 1 labor accepts them t is a nrob- lem. It is the contention of labor lead ers that the standard of llvln of the workman has been steadily declining since the war began. It. is pointed out that although official figures of the bureau of labor statistics department of labor, show that in-Juno, 1920, prices of the; articles which are included In the average family budgret had ad vanced 116 per cent above the pre-war scale, wages had by no means kept pace. Now when prices are" declining, it is declared, the employer is holding his position of advantage as against the employe, because the reductions in wages .have In general been much greater than the rduction in prices. As a" corollary, the view is advneed that the proper foundation of industry is the welfare of the mass of the workers, based on a living wage, rather than trusting to prosperity for the em ployers who work down through to the employees. i Mr. Morrison's figures show that the increase in living costs during the war, as compared with 1913, reached 116.5 -per cent in June of iast year and 100.4 per cent in December last. The purchasing power of the dollar corre spondingly declined to 42 cents on the former date, but had risen to 50 cents on the latter. The manner in which these statistics would be applied to wages is indicated by taking a stand ard wage of 50 cents an hour in 1913 as the basis. In June, 1920, it is shown, this wage should have been $1.08 an hour, and in December, $1. The idea of the subsistence wage, in short, makes possible a means of wage adjustments, at a time when wages will presumably be forced dow somewhat anyhow, in a manner that will give the workmen the same in come in commodities that they received before. A research bureau to supply accurate data along these lines may be established shortly by the federation. GREAT BRITAIN WINS HER ROUTE TO INDIA All-Rail Line From Mediterran ean Ports Achieved WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. (By Asso ciated Press.) The complete text of the Franco-British convention by which the Syrian desert is transferred from a French to British mandate, was received today by officials here and is expected to engage the close attention of officials of the state de partment in connection with the gen eral study of the allied mandates with which the American government for some ' time has been concerned. The pact as concluded between the French and British governments in Paris, December 23 .contains provisions for the complete settlement of the "problems raised by the attribution to Great Britain of he mandates for Palestine and Mesopotamia, and by the attribution to France of the man dates over Syria and the Lebanon, all three conferred by the supreme council The two phases of the, treaty which have engaged' the particular attention of American officials are the estab lishment for the first time of the precedent of a transfer of mandate territory from one power to another by mutual agreement without refer ence to the League of Nations and the acquisition by Great Britain of her long cherished dream of an all rail route from the Mediterranean to India through territory under her exclusive political or military control.

GOTHAM HAS A HEART AND OH, IT LOVES ART Flowers for Caruso, Tears for Paderewski, S. R. 0. for Shakespear Play By JESlUE HENDERSON (Special Correspondent In The Star. Copyright. 1921) NEW YORK, Feb. 30. This has been called the most materialistic city in the world. Yet two or three things during the week proved that New York has art pretty much in the forefront of her consciousness. First of these things was the uni versal anxiety over the condition of Caruso, an anxiety which cast a gloom upon even the shopping crowds and bus riders, who talked of little else. "Money mad" New Yorkers found time to send thousands of messages to the Hotel Vanderbilt. They went out of their way for a glance up toward the Caruso suite. And they stripped the florists' shops in an effort to show their sympathy. "Macbeth" was the second proof that this town has something on its mind beside, the rae of exchange. For years, theatrical managers have given the public what it wants. From the melee of ' Twin Beds, barelegged bal lets, and Freudian complications, emerged Lionnel Barrymore with the determination to give the public what he wants. He wanted "Macbeth." It Lbeth" has been , dead for some time. seemed a pity. The author of "Mac he wrote in verse, and while he em ployed the bedroom scene in "Othello" and "Romeo," atill there was hardly a good laugh in ejther. The managers admitted that Lady Macbeth appeared in her night robe, but while a night gown may have seemed very daring in Shakespear'.s day, they felt the play would never go big without a Turkish bath or at least a sleeping car. The managers so the managers said knew their New York. But Barrymore persisted. Julia Arthur came forth from several years' retirement as the guilty and pathetic heroine, and the small segment of New York which did not attend the opening night is now fighting to obtain seats for any even ing in the next eight weeks. Perhaps a third incident goes to show that the town has a thought above its pocketbook. When Paderew ski, e-premier of Poland, arrived here there were hundreds of people on the dock to cheer him as man and artist. But when the ex-premier an nounced rather sadly that he was an ex-pianist also, the crowd dug its money grubbing fists into Its gold bedazzled eyes and wept at the loss of art There are, however, compensations. The life extension institute has come, but In defense of high heels. It seems that high heels don't shorten life and if your foot is the kind or foot which enjoys French heels, then go ahead and toddle to your soul's content. Osteopathy Is, of course, the science of, manipulating bones, and an excel lent science it is. But the osteopaths never manipulated a bigger bone than when they petitioned the state legis lature to make "high- heels a misde meanor. Spring weather or temperament has got into the police department which, since high heels are no crime, has had to look elsewhere for something to keep it busy. The otlier night 47 men were dancing with 47 girls in a danc ing academy on Broadway, Suddenly the hall filled with policemen. For half an hour thereafter policemen J ushered indignant girls and infuriated escorts from the hall to the wagons, affording the theater crowds a glimpse at the most melodramatic raid in years. The girls were arraigned in night court, the men spent the night in cellj. Next day the detectives who thought up the raid accused the dancers of hollering and making a noise. But they could not identify any one noisemaker. So they 47 men and the 47 girls were discharged with a warning the warning, however, be ing given by the magistrate to the detectives. With such alertness on the part of the police. It seems .strange that any one should get away with anything here-abouts. In addition to such distractions, there are also the usual number of holdups around about the hotels, cigar stores, crowded street corners and churches. Also with the actors on Broadway hooting at the drama league for re- Iusin& . . "f"'eo " negro star, to its dinner at the Mc Alpiinj well, with this and that, it has not been a restful week. CARUSO SEES SNOW FAILING AND WOULD LIKE TO BE OUT NEW YORK1, Feb. 20. Enrico Ca ruso watched the falling snow that blanketed New York today from a win dow near his sick bed and with the yearning of a school boy with the measles, declared, "It looks fine." While the tonor was enjoying the sight, his physicians issued a bulletin indicating his continued improvement. His family also planned to take him from the city , as soon as he has re covered sufficiently to leave the hotel. The bulletin issued by the physicians remained conservative, but indicated that no great anxiety was felt for the patient.. It follows: "Mr. Caruso has had a good night and he is quite refreshed this morn ing. His condition is feverish, but quite satisfactory." Another bulletin will not be issued until tomorrow. FAYETTBVILI,E IS INTERESTED IN PROPOSED SIX-CLUB LEAGUE (Special to The Star) FAYETTEVILLE, Feb. 20. A move ment is well under way for the organ ization of a six-club baseball league to include Lum'berton, Fayetteville, Red Springs, Raeford, Fairmont and Parkton. It! would, be a. snug little circuit and; negotiations are going on with baseball enthusiasts "here for the purpose. of ascertaining the chances of swinging Fayetteville into line. The , propostlon, according to the understanding here, is to stage a fast brand of semi-professional ..ball. Such a league existed in .1917, when Fay etteville was a member. ; Since .that time this city has not 'been represented on the diamond, though-several of the towns mentioned for the proposed cir cuit pu out fast teams last summer.

JEWISH RELIEF PARTY i IS TO TOUR OVERSEES, Will Visit Devastated Regions in Several of the Euro pean Countries NEW YORK, Feb. 20. A committee of 25 leading Jewish business men representing aiverse industries in the United States, will make a six weeks tour of Poland, Austria and other war devastated areas this summer, Louis Marshall, chairman of the American Jewish relief committee, announced here today. The tour, approved by the committee, will be "for the purpose of formulating a sound program which will result in permanent benefit to the Jewish popu lation of the sections visted," Mr. Marshall added. Each member of the commission will place himself at the disposal of the government in the stricken district. The proposed com mittee includes: , Julius Rosenwald, Clllcago; Herbert Lehman and Samuel Lamport," New York: Felix Fuld, Newark, N. J.; Sig mund Eisner, Red Bank, N. J.; Samuel Fels, Jacob Billikopf and Jacob D. Lit, Philadelphia; Irvin F. Leham and I. W. Frank, Pittsburgh; Julius Levy and Jacob Epstein, Baltimore; David A. Brown, Detroit; Nat Stone, Milwaukee; Mortimer Fleischhacker, San Fran cisco; Charles Elsenman, Cleveland; Sidney Pritz, Cincinnati; Albert D.

Kirstein and Albert Kaffenberjr, Boston; Fred Levy, Louisville, Ky. Plans to raise $14,000,000 in the United States this year to carry on recronratnuctive and emergency relief, among Jewish war sufferers have been adopted by the committee. ORGAN RECITAL AT ST. JAMES' EPISCOPAL CHURCH TONIGHT Prof. P. R. Myers, new organist at St. James' Episcopal church, will give the second of the Lenten organ recitals at St. James' church this evening at 8 o'clock. Professor Myers will be as sisted in his recital by the vested choir of the church. The following is a, re sume of tonight's program: 1. Fantasia, by Tours. After a dig nified introduction, a melody is given out in solo form. This is followed by an interesting trio. After some sub sidiary work is disposed of there is a return to the opening theme, gradually closing with a good moving pedal bass. 2. Largnette, from violin concert by Beethoven. In this the solo is as signed to the string stop of the organ with a short florlatlon for the flutes, until the middle portion, where a trio forms the subject, with a dinnimendo to the end. 3. The celebratel Largo-Handel, which is known to most people, is taken from the opera "Xerxes." It oc curs at a point in the opera when a young maiden invokes protection from a storm. The melody is assigned to a solo stop beautifully accompanied, sim ulating a harp, and closes with the foundation stop of the organ. 4. Swedish, Wedding marc. . by Sol erman. This is one of the most popu lar of its class for recitals. Unlike marches, it begins with a sort of a round in rollicking form. Later, the bagpipe is much "iri evidence, with Its drum-like effect.'" ftcloses with the opening theme. ' 5. Variations orr an American Air, by Flagler. Known as "Swanee River." The selection open'switn a suggestion of the theme on the" pedals after some modulations on the manual the air is announced in its various variations, all of which tax the ability of the average organist: The pedal movement alone is worthy of consideration and later with the full organ, bringing the se lection to a grand climax. 6. Andante, from "The Surprise" symphony, by Hayden, is at once un derstood by Its simplicity in its con struction, and yet the slightest slip made by the performer would mar its beauty f construction. The theme is first given out simply and plainly and gradually weaves itself into fuller and more intricate harmony to end grad ually diminishing. FRENCH DETERMINED GERMANY MUST PAY (Continued from Page One.) is to be regretted that this juristic po litical misunderstanding, resulting from our very respect for the laws and officials of the United States continues. "The league of nations pact has been ratified by France, England, Italy and Belgium. We hope that America, while dissatisfied herself, will appre ciate the fact that these countries have accomplished an "act which they can not repudiate. It is that the paot pro claims itself subject to revision. Per haps, Americans may ask whether such revisions, when made, may not be complete enough to annul these sec tions which are unacceptable to them, and which would thus meet their view. Here we must emphasize the capital point, which is that the1 past no longer belongs to governments, but that the league alone is sovereign and alone has the power of modification. While this Is written more than forty amend-' ments have been proposed and will be studied. "But American statesmen seemed de termined on the destruction of the cov enant., They declare it is not accepa ble because it creates a league which is a super-state and a super-government. The old spirit of independence in America, which fought Its way through a bloody revolution, protests against any limitation of its autonomy. Article 10 is cited as containing a threat against national Independence. This article provides that in case of aggression or threatened aggression the league council advises or, as the Eaglish text has It makes recommen dations; neither of which means quite the same thing. . While at Geneva I criticised Article 10 for reasons other than those of American critics and showed the difficulty of its applica tion. In fact, when the question of the admission of the Baltic states arose, I remarked that (in case bol shevism menaced their frontiers, no member of the league would be in a position to help them and that com mon honesty required that no prom ises be. given to nations, ; especially when those "promises could not be ful filled. Article 10 Is really a treaty of alliances and alliances can , not be formed except between individuals or states "which -.are able to help one an other reciprocally. So something quite different must be found for those stfl tcs utialite .to protect themselves. "This being so,: the natural question' is how does the pact limit national in riftiwndeneef ' :- Let :,uS k speak . plainly. Let us k speak . plainly.

V LORD CECIL AUGMENTS TROUBLES OF CABINET British Politics Rather Mixed and Labor and Irish Source of Anxiety By GEORGE N. BARNES (Special Cable to The Star. Copyright, 1021.) LONDON, Feb. 20 Lord Robert Cecil has gone over to the opposition. This presages, some observers say, a rival coalition, including, among others, Viscount Grey and former Premier As quith. At all events, the government's difficulties have increased, for Lord Cecil has a growing following. Lloyd George has reconstructed his cabinet. Walter Long and Lord Mil ner. has disappeared; but Balfour and the other chief figures remain, and Winston Churchill has become colonial secretary. Parliament opened this week with all. the old world pomp, circumstances and trappings of a leisured age. It heard the king's throne speech,' which contained but a meagre legislative program. The speech consisted of promises respecting dumping of for eign goods, promises regarding Insur ance benefits for the unemployed, and the regulation of the sale of alcoholic liquors. The reconstruction of the house of lords is made dependent on time. From all this the writer concludes that there is no immediate prospect of a general election. During the early part of this session, parliament will be more concerned about happenings un der old laws than it will in making new ones. There Is much disquietude both about the Irish question and un employment. Although the Irish prob lem has passed Its worst, stage, it still is pretty bad and the army of unem ployed now number over a million. In Ireland preparations are under way to set up a parliament in Ulster. There also is a more hopeful atmos phere regarding some agreement with the insurgent elements elsewhere. It Is difficult, however, to give a reason for this feeling and to make the rea son consistent with surface appear ances, unless one should attribute it to the temptation confronting Lloyd George of stealing the thunder cf the new parliamentary combination men tioned above. I still believe that the operation of the new act, with , two Irlsli parliaments, is a necessary con dition for a fundamental settlement of the Irish problem, but even before this there must be a cessation of fighting. Elections, under military law, would be an absurdity. The threat of the locomotive engi neers' union to strike on both the British and Irish railways in reprisal for the shooting of two members of their organization unless the govern ment institutes a public inquiry and guarantees the future safety of Irish railway employes, is fraught with ugly possibilities, inasmuch as some of the Irish belligerents are probably beyond the control of any government. Per sonally. I think the strike threat will go up In smoke. Our people are tired of strikes and tired of the formenters of labor troubles. Concerning unemployment, the labor party has offered a number of amend ments to the throne speech. This is the parliamentary procedure for rais ing political issues and the labor party will seek to justify its recent lack of co-operation by comparing its propo sals with the government policy of relief work and insurance benefits. La bor declares the foremost cause of un employment to be the absence of trade with Russia, and it urges the re-open-Jng of trade relations as the first step in a fundamental cure. The govern ment should have an easy task in an swering the, critics, but the stimulus of parliamentary debate may bring a better answer than any that has yet emerged from outside discussion. In any case lively times may be predicted. There was unmingled satisfaction in England over the election' results in South Africa, for . an adverse vote against Smuts would have dealt a heavy blow against the empire. The old idea of an organic connection wherein crown forces held the Boer against his will, is dead. But it is satisfactory to learn that the new -idea of sentimental attach ment has been tested at Its weakest link and found equal- to the strain. Smuts, the Boer premier, has been re turned to power as an exponent of the fusion of the Briton and the Boer. The furore in the newspapers over alarmist sentiments attributed to a high government official here may help to bring the English speaking peoples to a realization of the importance of cordial relations. Any antagonism, leading to conflict, is unthinkable, for it would be a betrayal of tho highest interests of humanity since the points of difference would be petty compared with the human issues involved. For instance, oil control is surely a small thing which concerns only capitalist Interests. Many other differences at present are not differences of princi ple. . Yet the excitement caused on such slight occasion is somewhat disturb ing. Sensible folk must all the more be determined to contribute to that mutually amicable state of public opinion which Is the surest guarantee of the peace of the world. MORRISON ISSUES PARDON TO "ZIMP" HAM. OF WILSON RALEIGH, Feb. 20. The first par don of his administration ,1s an nounced by Governor Morrison. "Zimp" Ham, of Wilson, is turned loose from 12 months' sentence imposed by Judge Cranmer, at the December term of Wil son court for false pretense. It appears that Ham gave a Wilson firm a bad check for $533.33, and when the case was tried the judgment of the exurt was that he pay the check and costs and go free. He failed and was imprisoned under a conditional order. He is now able to make good and thrt pardon Is urged by judge, solicitor and Representative Tobe Connor.
