THE STAGE. I ) Plea for Further Re- cognition. Miss Lena AL-liwell pleaded with the people of Leeds on Tuesday to take the business of providing enteitainment into their own bauds, and provide free theatres." It we are going on living I with only a money standard," she said, H let us pray tor the delude quick." An an actor all her lite t-he believed there was no profession more important to the community than that of providing entertainment. JJut tho profession was at the mercy of exploiters. ARTISTES EXPLOITED. I The provision of entertainment was passing into the hands of people who xjho not actors or musiciaus, and were exploiting the artistes. Puritanism had not altogether passed away, and actors were still looked upon as people of no religion, who led the way down the fanciful path to a place she did not like to mention. It was a false idea, and actors needed the recognition of the community to establish acting on a firm basis of what was beautiful, just, and right.

MORE TERMS. I I Germans Complain of Extortion. Berlin. Wednesday.—The Berlin papers publish the text of the Note from the Supreme Council, which has been handed to the German Peace Delegation. The Note makes it a condition of the Draft Protocol to the Peace Treaty, and the con- ¡ sequent coniis. into force -of the Treaty, that Cprmany shal! s'gn a second protocol sp<'rifyin?th? fulfilment )f ebligitions imposed by the armistice agreement. ¡ UNFULFILLED TERMS. I The Note points out a number of such obligations which Germany has failed to fulfil, or has only partially fulfilled, and therefore makes various demands, includ- !U?' the surrender of fin) light cruisers, and four hundred thousand tons floating docks, tug boats, and dredgers. Tfie crews of the warships scuttled at Scapa How are also to be detained. Coercive measures are threatened in the event of the refusal of these demands. Thrt Berlih morning papers term these demands fresh extortion, and one paper says, that the Note is nothing but a fresh pretext for taking exactly those things Ensrland could do with for the restoration of her naval predominance.

WORK. I
WORK. I Ciemenceau's Call to France. Everything is in the melting pot: I A new era is opening," declared M. C'lemeneeau, the veteran French Pre- mier, in a speech at Strasbourg. He had a wonderful reception from the folk of redeemed Alsace. Mobbed by great crowds, who patted him on the baeK, The Tiger li«d to stand stiU with tears i nhis eyes. The factors ot peace," M. Clemen- eeau said, are put into our handó. What arc we going to do with them ? What is the word of command Y What examples shall be given to our sons, and abov eall, what duties? To this enigma of the Sphinx there is onlv one answer— Work!" I Speaking of the terrible devastation uhich had been spread in ten of the richest departments of France, M. Clemenceau said the reparations so far accorded to France were rather par- simoniously dealt out, but a final settle- ment had not yet been arrived at, and it would be unjust to the Allies to doubt their final success. M. Celnwnceau said he would like to Nc-c in face of what he called "invading revolutionary minorities a constitution of an irreducible majority under a chief capable of saying what he wanted and of doing what he said. He saw only ruin in a dictatorship of anarchy, of which they had an example in Moscow.

TURKS' BRUTALITYI
TURKS' BRUTALITY I King's Sympathy With Missionary. ItAL Archibald Forder, an English mis- sionary, who suffered bitter persecution at the bands of the Turks in Palestine for four rears during the war, has just re- turned from the Holy Land. He lias many frightful tales to tell of Turkish misrule in Palestine, of the i horrors of prison life in Jerusalem and • Damascus, and of the cruelties of officials, who were even calous enough to confiscate the money allowed for the burial of Bri- tish soldiers, and to cast the bodies of thrv-e bravo men to the dogs. Mr. Fordham was received at Bucking- ham Palace on Wednesday by the King,  i)le or(leals who, hearing of the terrible ordeals to which he had been subjected, was moved to indignation. KING'S DISGUST. "The King received me very kindly," said iir. Forder to a Press representative, pod when I was telling my story he eoustaatly broke in with exclamations expressing his disgust at the troaiment I hud experienced. 1 told him how my wife and aJaildren -wete separated fm» nic, and how my wji-e subsequently died owing to the bad treatment she received from the Turks vhile I was in prison. He asked me if I was going out again to resume my work in Palestine. 1 said I was, and be remarked, Well, you will have a better time, because we are going to develop tho country and look after the people well. I showed the King a Damascus news- paper, printed in Arabic and containing an article about myself. I had a trans- lation with me, which the King read. IMAGINATIVE STORY. I "His Majesty laugh ted heartily at the imaginative story given or himself, run- ning into a cellar in Edgware-road to es- cape from Zepelin bombs and calling to the Queen to help him out of his trouble. He said he did not think be was so popu- lar with the Turks as to be written about in their newspapers. I also told th King that Vtie Ger- mans had been instrumental m stirring up the Turks against ine. He said:— Oh, the Germans are linished now. ke what has happened to the Kaiser. He has had to run away from his own people and his own country and seek refuge in a neutral country. He is well punished for what he did." Mr. Forder bears visible traces of his harahips and captivity in Palestine. Five J'ears ago lie was a strong and athletic Ulan. but although it is over a year since Jw wag rescued, when the Australians en- tered Damascus, ho is now but a shadow of his former self, and bis right arm and side have been rendered almost useless owing to the damp state of the cells in which he was confined.

I I In a ietter to Lady Astor, the Unionist ) candidate for Plymouth, Lord Robert I C0c-.i 1 says at the present time, with the party system more or less in abeyance, the personality of candidates becomes of the first importance. In the perennial controversy between greed and self-inter- est, anyone who knew Lady Astor would b3 confident she would he found on the side of the angels. It was essential that Parliament should contain women if it was to be truly representative of its con- stituents.

NATIONAL TRADERS. Restricted Expenditure Demanded. At the autumn meeting of the execu- tive of the National Chamber of Trade in London on Wednesday, a message was sent to the King expressing loyalty and devotion, and the assurance that the members will do everything in their power, as citizens and leaders, to pro- mote and maintain the industrial pro- gress and harmony so vitally necessary in the highest national interests. APPEAL TO GOVERNMENT. I The Parliamentary Committee recom- mended that the Chamber should register a demand for restriction on national ex- penditure-, declaring that the Govern- ment. must themselves set the example. At the afternoon session a letter was read from the Hoard of Trade stating it was the exception rather than the rule for local authorities not to appoint I traders as members of loical profiteering commit foes. The question of the iixed price of goods, and replacement values was under consideration. There was no ground, so far as tho Board of Trade were aware, for the suggestion that local committees were hearing anonymous complaints. The committees must give 0 hearing to all parties to complaints.

PRIZE MONEY. I No Share for Merchant Service HOUSE OF COMMONS, Wednesday. The Speaker took the chair at 2.45. Commander Viscount .Curzon asked when the distribution of Naval prize money would be commenced to those entitled to it. Dr. Macnaraara said it was anticipated that sufficient -funds would have been re- ceived from the Prize Courts and other sources to enable distributing to be com- menced in the spring. NO MONEY FOR MERCHANTMEN. Answering a supplemental question, the I right hon. gentleman said that the mer- cantile marine had no right to prize money, which was a peculiar and ancient preroga- tive of the Royal Navy. Mr. Long informed Commander Ken- worthy that the approximate cost of tho Naval operations carriea on in the Baltic since the armistice wifh Germany was £4,000,000, and of those carried on in thi Black Sea, The latter figure did not include the cost of mine sweepers. No Britisn force was uow operating in the Caspian Sea. It was probable that the remaining opera- tions would be concluded before the end of the present financial year.

NO CONSPIRACY. I Chief Justice's Ruling in Libel Case I The action for libel and conpiracy to slander, brought by Lieut.-C'ol. John Kynaston, late of the Army Medical Ser- vice, against Brigadier-Generul Hick- man, M.P., and Mr. George E. Brown, was continued in the King s Bench, on Wednesday. At the opening the Lord Chief Justice said that when the parties agreed to take steps to obtain a. divorce by suppressing or concealing facts, they were committing a criminal offence. It was very desirable that, people should know that General Ilickman gave evidence. In evidence, General Hickman said he was very reluctant to take steps in the matter, because lie disliked indulging in personalities at elections. He considered it a duty to his constituents, however, to act as he did. Referring to the allegation that plaintiff had illtreated Mrs. Fox. well's child. Hickman said he saw the- girl, aged seven, dancing at a charity I concert. She was painted and dressed up like a ballet dancer, and he thought it was a i sad thing to see. I frs. Hickman denied making a state- ment concerning plaintiff's personal character at ,an election meeting. She rv.'ould nover make remarks like those. Thev were more like the epecb of a work- ing woman. No decent woman would mix herself up with stich a disgusting story. The Lord Chief Juitice 6aid it was ir- relevant whether Foxwell illtreared his I wife or not. "In tlrs court we do not treat marriage as of no account," he said. He ruled there was no evidence of tOBSuuacv.

J AP AN AND CHINA.1, j II Answers to Allay j I Coolness. Tokyo, Oct. 21th (delayed). Ratification of the peace treaty fol- lowed the ordinary constitutional course of examination by the privy council, which is charged with the duty of super- vising international commitments. Thero is no reason to suppose that the American Senate's rejection of the Shantung amendment has influenced Japan, though officials were relieved by the Senate vote. Negotiations will be opened with China for the restitution of German acquisi- tions in Shantung, except the economic I concessions, which Japan will retain. The Government is anxious to ) ALLAY THE COOLNESS concerning Japan's policy which is mani- fested ahroad. and tho Chinese settlement, to the surprise of the ruling classes here, will probably be sooner reached and at the same time be more generous than was at first contemplated. Uneasiness exists regarding CII ines bitterness, which is lasting too long to p!(\ase the Japanese. The traders' boy- ii i nise t l i(, Taj)an(,se. cott is still rigid, and. although Japanese ?o<x? are indispensable, the merchants who seil them trade-mark them as Anglo- ivilo ppil tl l(,rl-l trade-iiiarl, them as
