CIRCULATION WEED ENDING AUG. 7th, 1920 THE POLISH CRISIS On the eve of the coniaryive ht—“.efl the leaders of sov Foiard, the recegnition by Frar. eral Wrangel as the head of the south- ern Russia government may well be con- sidered of momenotus importance, involv- ing. it may be the winl: question of tre peace of Europe. It marks a sharp line of divergence between France and Eng- land in their treatment of the Russo Py erisis for Premier Llovd Geolge has been advising that the Poles shonid B0 into conference with the soviet 1:ad- ers and at no time has he considered the recognition of Gnéral Wrangel. Nor does this action by Fruuca fall fn live with the policy of the United States. One thing was clear in the attitud: of the United States as expressed in the note to Italy upon the Russian sna=tion 2nd that was a firm stand agaias: ‘ater- vention in Russia. Left to thomsclves and free from intervention, the convie- ton was expressed that the Russ:an peo- ple would overthrow the boisiiviks The agreement of soviet Ru: into a conference was con‘ingent upon the withdrawal of allied suprort from and the surrender of Gencral Wrangel 1 13 30 But this action by Franca cianges the situation and may well i* impos- sible for QGreat Britain t> tast the al- térnative of making peacs with the Lol- shevists after they hav: constuded ne- gotiations with Poland. One aspect of the United States nete is causing much speculuticn has brought out from Poland tha request for 2éfinite interpretation of its meaning.

The Boston financial wizard surely had a courage that was moiumental in launching a banking scheme in Which there was every probability that his previous record would be invesiigated and that his two previois prison records would be uncovered. His naive plea that he had paid the penaly for his former offenses against (he law and that he felt he deserved anciner chance will be little conselation to those who find money gone. Ponzi Was promising to perform a miracle and ae fouad a re- sponse in a trait that seems to be in- herient in human natur: Financial quacks and medical quacks both find their money gone. Ponzi was pramising one of the surest and easizst forins of swindling, which at the same time is one of the hardest to stop ny law. Tke old-fashioned greengoods man may nol be so much in the public eve as form- erly but in every financial center his kin still maintains elaborate officss and contfuues to do a profitable bsiness in defiance of common sense and the law.

Again, is the highest ob- ject in reading attained’ when we force ourselves to pursue' studies for the sake of mental discipline which' We positively hate? As, for instance, foreign languagam, mathematics, astronomy and other ab- struse subjects in which we are not par- ticularly interested? No, real reading must stimulate our whole being and' be so interesting that we can stand bodily dis- comfort without notice, but really suffer when forced to stop. The man or woman whose source of en- tertainment is not within is to be pitied, because he is doomed to many long hours of loneliness and homesickness. For hap- piriess some people depend wholly on the froth of society, and froth of all Kinds has little substance and soon ppears. They constantly look to others for enter- tainment, and when this fails they are made miserable becouse there is no inter- nal contrivance to take the place of the merry-go-round. But happy is the man whose springs of entertainment lie deep in his own being. Such a person is ot af- flicted with the jazz nature, for while he can enjoy manly games of sport he can also “take in” lectures on great subjects, and music, and art of the highest order. He also may be accomplished himself in virile sports, and be a musician, artist or poet. Fortunate the young person who learns, to play well the piano before leav- ing home, because it will greatly help te banish solitude when home is far away. 1 belieev there are times when all peo- ple have a deep sense of solitude. And it is not always when they are camping out in the woods With a few congenial com- panions, when Nature, through a thou- sand channels, is speaking to them. What makes solitude is the quality of the space that separates a man from the peremnial source of his life. A big crowd of people cannot always drive away one's loneli- ness. Living next to 'a railroad station does not create a feeling of companion- ship. Something more than nearness in space to people, whether the meeting place is postoffice, barroom, factory, storé or even church, is necessaTy to arouse the true spirit of comradeship. If you are a stranger, poor, sick and friendless, in :w York, the great metropolis is a far greater solitude than the African Sahara with one true, devoted friend. It is neither nearness to nor remoteness from the haunts of men but the springs that satisfy our cravings, that kill the soli- tude. That educational hermit, H. D. Thoreau, in that splendid book “Walden, or Life in the Woods,” asks the question “Why is society, commonly so called, s6 cheap?” The answer he gives shows that he was acute as well as eccentric. We may not be ready to admit offhand that society is cheap because it has meant a great deal to our lives. Have we not been more or less enriched by contdct with others? And vet Thoreau is sound in his philoso- phy when he tells us how that very con- tact will cheapen rather than enrich. His theory is that we meet people at such y short intervals that we do not have time to acquire any new value for each other. Take a community where the op- portunity for new and enlarged horizons is extremely limited, the people, under the instinctive social craving, visit back and forth in true neighborly fashion. From the nature of the case they have very lit- tle of value to give one another that is new, fresh or uplifting. They have not had the time, the opportunity and possi- bly not the inclination to pick up really important information. In this way cheap things—like gossip—become rife. We may know people and their affairs so well as to lose respect for nem. There is among people generally today a growing disposition which amounts al- most to fear to shun solitude. Why should we so dislike to be alone with ourselves and our thoughts? A man once said to the writer that if he should sit down alone and allow himself to think he would go stark mad. Trouble, wrong-doing, re- morse or nervous disorder may create a horror of solitude, but why should a per- son in normal strength of body and mind not rejoice in solitude as affording oppor- tunity for the exeércising of that divinest of all functions, mental activity? What would this world be if somebody had not been alone with God and his o6wn thoughts? All the inventions and discov- eries, all the sciences, art, and literatures, all the things that make living worth while have come from men being in soli- tude. Our age would be richer, deeper and more satisfying if we spent more time alone in thought and gadded about less. It is a matter of common remark how very dense the foliage is this year. This, of course, is largely due to right climatic conditions, such as moisture in abun- dance without long periods of torrid heat. It always seems cooler when vegetation retains its luxuriance and is not parched. It seems more naftural, and it certainly adds much to the beauty of nature to have the foliage struck gently by frost than to have it die by inches, as though sripped by lingering disease. The frost seéems far more merciful than the drought. In flaming color it is beautiful but far from it when yellowed and withered by long stimmer famine. Do;we nos find a parallel to all this in the lives of our fellow beings? We like to see men and women like the foliage—not dense, for we must not press the analogy till it squeals—nor green, for this, too, would not be complimentary. But we like 1o see them full of life, vigorous, healthy, energetic and efficient. We like to see them fully able to discharge the duties of their calling. An athlete is always more attractive tham a ‘weakling. Verily T would not say that in their soeial condi- tion -human beings, like foliage, flourish beetter -under a ‘‘wet” regime than a “dry.” But it is beautiful to seé a man and a woman grow eld with full viger, and, when they g6, g0 suddenly by one stroke of a kindly frost, than to linger long after strength, pleasure and useful- néss have gone. e S Making a Popular Hostess.

For often the world, which a8 a wWde is a very careless world, let- ting things o in one early only to zo out 'of the other, needs to be told the same thing over and again—yes till it is sick of hearing it. 1t needs, not so ruch Hat it may beé convinced of what is right, as to have what is known to be right thrust upon its attention insistently. The men who undertake such work are called “cranks” but as cranks they are a very necessary part of the world's machinery. The people Wwith whom Elijah had to deal with knéw very well they were do- ing wrong in being idol worshipers. But they needed to see their wickedness through the eyes of a good man. They needed to to be brought face to face with the fact that the God against whom théy were sinning was “a jealous God. It was necessary that some onel must tell them: “You're doing wrong; you are doing very, very wrong, and un- less you mend vour wavs, vou will bring upon yourself the wrath of God.” Likewise John the Baptist needed not to explain very carefully how and why the people he spoke to were inners Carefully preépared dissertations on sin and guatded denunciations of the sins of the time were not in order. They would have beerf useléss. But when John told the crowd that they were great si and needd to beware of the penalty follows sin sooner or later, they knew without further parley that he spoke the truth. The ehurches and the world need more of such preaching today. Clever sermon: sermons teaching the duty of goor works, and also sermons showing of the great depths of meaning in Bible teachings are good and necessary. Mén naturally think of sin as a matter of cutward cdnduct. They admit that stealing and lying and drunkenness are sins, but few think of pride and vanity selk-sééking, self-indulgence and pleas- | ure-seeking as being sinful, unless when | carried to extremes. Therefore for it is necessary that men like Elijah and John should use up here and there to awaken the consciences of the people. It is one of the disadvantages of the age in Which we live that there are com- paratively few men enzaged in this work. and that thése who do engase in it are! so- often lacking in spiritual power nad wisdom. GLEANED FROM FOREIGN EXCHANGES. Is there any gport which suffers as much by “the slings and arrows of out- rageous” weather as yatch racing in American waters? These contests off Sandy Hook less than a generation ago aroused Keener popular interest than the Shamrock IV series. Those who re- member the tenseness with which we waited on the fortunes of the little Thistle and the two Valkyries. and the Embankment crowds that watched the green and the green and the red hts climbing a_transpontine brick tower in the early Shamrock struggles, will have noticed a decline in real interest today. Ts it because the sporting chance of the challenger diminishes with each succeeding contest? Despite Shamrock IV's well won race, it certainly seems so Ibsen and Ellen Terry—At the age of 72 Miss Ellen Terry has been coaxed out of her Kentish retreat, “Haven of Rest,” to play Tbsen at Crayford, where “The Pillars of Soclety” is being staged for the screen.

Hooray for the twins!” Ada sat a moment in deep though, and then took up the telephone and told the big news to Courtenay, the renting agent. Within an hour she was swamped with a rush of homeseekers from Courtenay's office and finally he came himself, with a tired desperate man in tow. “I've simply got to have a place!” de- clared the man, “I've just come from Philadelphia on a rush contract, and my furniture is on a side track, 'piling up demurrage charges.
