It illustrates the fast age in which we live. All made possible by that magic marvel—mod- ern transportation methods, the conquerer of | space and time. Compare this triumphal tour by Foch, con-) gueror of the Germans, with Julits Caesar travel-| ing 30 miles a day in chaxiot or on a litter borne! on the shoulders of panting Nubian slaves. After 30 miles in a chariot, over rough roads, Caesar must have ached from the jolting and lost; all desire to be a tourist. | Contrasted with this, Foch winds up a 20,000- Inile trip, steps out of the Pullman palace car and) returns home—somewhat tired but none the worse: “for wear. \ There is more comfort even in a day coach on the railroad than the. ancient emperors had with y i The age of machinery has made ancient lux. uries of kings the every-day, matter-of-fact neces-| sities of the average man in 1921. : ik ( no more worlds left for him to conquer.

The mayor steop- ed to pet it and got bitfen in the leg. This novel custom, of presenting wild beasts as a token of esteem, has interesting possibilities. EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. They are /presented herq in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. :*" REED CANNOT SEE IT ‘Boiled: down, Senator Reed’s objection to the naval limitation agreement is that it prevents America from having a greater navy than Eng- land has. It prevents America, in other words, from exercising its economic power to make ‘itself the bully of the world. The fact: that America’s disarmament proposals do involve a surrender of that advantage, if advantage it really be, is a chief element. in the moral greatness of America’s action.—Lincoln Journal.

They may appear together in-a-picture— and,they'may not. Doug’s mext pic- ture will be “The Virginian.” | DRAMATIC ACCUMULATION American pictures are distinguished from foreign films by. their “dramatic accumulation,” Fairbanks says. He explained that he meant that there is a dramatic quality-even in the beau- ties of ‘Nature, that where the Euro- pean sees beauty .alone in a land- scape the American senses that dra- matic quality and something within him is stirred. into reopon ee to that quality. ) “This might be attributed to the tinued. “You may better understand what I.mmean if you take Chaplin’s work for example.
