No arrests were made. At the first play which has brought down criticism upon it because of the realistic dialogue in scenes depicting life of American marines in France during the war, much of the objec- tionable conversation was deleted by irection of the producer and the Janguage made less colorful. Assist. ant Corporation Counsel Dolphin at the close of the performance declal ed that there was nothing in the play “to get excited about.” At the Music Box where the.other production was on view, Earl Car- roll, the producer of the revue under inspection, declared, it is said, that he would not alter a line of change a costume.

Berlin dis- patches Wedneaday night reported the collapse of the negotiations, the reason being, 1t was sald, that the negotiators” had found it impossible to discover a common basis for the proposed instrument. One of the main difficulties was thought to be a refusal by the Germans to grant concessions demanded by Great Britain for exemption from taxa- tion of British goods exported to Germany under the proposed new German tarift which was under- stood to provide for duties con- sidered virtually prohibitive on the British products involved.

It is because of American advertising methods that, while riding in the Paris Subway, you cannot tell ‘the name of the station because it is con- ealed among advertisements of various kinds. But the French have their own revenge in their own way. They are the best, the longest and the Aastest, to say nothing of belug the most tiresome speech makers in the ®orld, and they sure did rub it into the advertising men while they were thelr guests in Paris. }".ar)y in the morning they attended the American pro-cathedral, the American Church, and the Catholic Church of St. Joseph's,.and Jistened to speeches by Dean Beckman and Dr. Joseph W.
