Tbe cabinet crisl In France may bo the beginning of the end of the war. It la an acknowledgment of dis satisfaction on the part of France with the proKit of the war, and tbo final effort to put things at right, particularly In the tialkans. If the new mlulHtry doe not im prove the military and diplomatic situations, France then may consider peace. The immediate cause of tbo crisis la the a I Hob' diplomatic defeat in the Dalkans. But deeper than that Is the growing despondency at the In nMl I ty to drive the Cermane from France and penetrate Alsace Lorraine, the coveted. Because the situation waa so un satisfactory at borne the general pub lic did not approve tbe Balkan ex pedition which fbe French undertook. The French "believe that tbe Eng lish ought to assume entire respon sibility for checking the Germans In the Balkana. Beyond doubt there la a feeling that the British have been guilty of hesitation and incom petence and bave not aided the allies aa much aa they ought. , The German threat against Egypt and India, in tbe wake of a success ful outcome In the Balkans, makes the British for tbe first time depend ent for assistance. However, the Balkan situation may eventually work out favorably for France, and tbea she will be more able to ask a new basis of under standing among the allies. Tbla basis must relate to the kind of peace acceptable to them. Wheat Club, 8891; bluestem, 91H93. Oata No. 1 white1 feed, 14.25 34.75. Barley Brewing, 27.50f 29; feed, 26.26 27.60.

Thla 8ovontoonth Century Midget Wen Fame as an Artist Purveyors of side show amusements are agreed, it is said, that dwarfs no longer may bo counted upon to draw audiences, no matter bow gifted these Lillputians may be. In Charles Strst ton, known tbe world over by his psen donlm of Tom Thumb, thla country furnished tbe moat attractive dwarf that ever exploited bla accomplish ments and j who, as stated by his spon sor In whit was considered tbe moat "stunnlng'j advertising of the day, was "the delight of all tbe crowned heads of Europe" as well aa of tbe uncrown ed sovereigns of America. Great as Tom Thumb was In his time, there were dwarfs percedlng blm that made most enviable reputations. Among these were Richard Gibson, age seventy-five at bla death, July 23. 1000, and his widow, who died nine teen years later at the advanced age of elghty-nluc, Gibson was a minia ture painter miniature in every sense of tbe phrase as well as court dwarf to Charles I. of England, and his wife, Ann Shepherd, was court dwarf to Queen Henrietta Maria. Her majesty prompted n mnrrlngc' between these two clover but diminutive persons, and the marriage proved a hoppy one. The little couplo bad nine children, five of whom lived to years of maturity and were of ordlnnry stature. Gibson's works were valued, and oue of them wus the Innocent cause of a tragical event. This' painting" repre sented the pnrable of the lost sheep and was highly prized by tbe king, who gave it lu charge of Vandervoort, thukccper of the royal pictures.. One day the king asked for thla picture. Afraid or OHhamed to any that be mis laid It, Vandervoort committed suicide by hanging. A few days after his death the picture was found in tbo spot vhoro ho bad placed It.

Hew They Would Sown Now if Mevioe Had Come First We can well imagine that a genera tion brought up exclusively on moving pictures would hall tbe sudden Intro duction of tbe actual performers as a great Invention. ' So simple and logical a step would seem to them truly mar velous. At first tbe bodily presence of the actor might seem to tbem almost too oppressive, as we now feel it to be when we sit close up on a Shake spearean platform stage, but they would soon wonder why they bad been so long content to blink at animated photographs.' '; Tbe effect upon the actor would be most aalutory. He would soon find that be was making himself laughably obvious. Tbe astonishing calisthenics wltb which be has been accustomed to wring our withers would no longer serve bis purpose. He would bave to abandon tbe 'irascible look, the "revenge Is sweet" look, the "Jealousy look, tbe "lovey dovey" look and all the otber looks wltb which be now so Impudently holds' the camera in order to convey to us that be is feeling something, ah. so profoundly. - He would bave to unlearn all his looking glass grimaces and try to regain tbe natural mobility of bumau expression. Tbe hlstorlau of tbe drama would also give us u moat Instructive chapter on the emergence of the actor from tbe machine. He would bail it as a revolutionary step in tbe development of tbe drama, 'without which. In bis opinion, the Hamlet that he worships would never have been possible. Knowing nothiug of our pre-macbine drama, be would uot be tempted to draw the conclusion that with tbe rise and decay of moving pictures the drama has gone backward In order to go forward again.
