MYSTERIOUS MACHINATIONS
It is so easy to criticise diplo- mats and statesmen. On the face of things Great Britain's recent commitments in the International sphere, particularly her reception of the German demand for a 1-3 ratio in naval tonnage, appear open to attack. The intimation that Mr. Eden, Britain's Minister for Longue of Nations Affairs, is bar-
| gaining with Italy for support of the Anglo-German naval accord is another surprising development. It is suggested that in return for Italian sympathy, Great Britain is wliling to let Italy have her way pations with Abyssinia. Other may well raine a cynical eyebrow, But the facts may be other than they seem. It would be unjust to Buggest that Britain's falth in the League of Nations is wavering or that her support of that body may not survive the general criticism levelled at Geneva. It is to be hoped that British statesmen, tak ing the long view, only jeopardise their reputations with a view to winning an ultimate victory for the cause of peace and for the The sake of unity at Geneva. Anglo-German naval accord, signed at the risk of mortally offending France, has brought Germany. much nearer to a re-union with the powers still represented at Geneva. British intervention in the Italo- Abyssinian dispute would have made of Italy a bitter enemy, not only of Britain but of the League forces which Britain could have in- Auenced to support her in any act- ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

and Britain, and which, therefore, was unthinkable, Mr. Eden may have made a promise of non-inter- vention with various strings at tached. One of those strings ap- pears to be that Italy shall not oppose the Anglo-German mavei accord, since it is probable that it will prove a step towards arma ment and general agreement in Europe. There may be other strings. It is our hope that in the long run this diplomatic jockeying will prove of benefit and that Abyssinia, as may now appear, is not to be made a sacrifice for the sake of the continuing peace of Europe.

LET'S BE FRANKI
There's been a lot of talkee- talker about the report that a song- And-dance
mat, named Frank Wallace married Mae West in Mil- waukee in 1911, was divorced by her in 1916 or 1917, and but atli loves her. We've been at some pains to get at the bottom of this mattor, and now present the posi- tion as reported from various centres:
HORSECOLLAR, IOWA-Frank Wallace, sempi-pro hog caller and whittling champion of Gooch Coun- ty, admitted to-day that he married Mae West in Milwaukee in 1911. "I wish she'd c-mup and ace me some time," he said wistfully.
SEPTICEMIA, CAL.~~A*junior in Snap College to-day asserted that he is the original Frank Wallace who married Mao West in Milwaukee in 1911.
FLUFFING MANOR, LESSER TWICKLESFORD, HANTS, ENG- LAND-The Hon. Francis Wallace, F.R.G.S., said to-day, "I married Mae West in Milwaukee In 1911 while traveling incognita in the States as Frank Wallace. I can still recall how we took the ferry to Milwaukee from New York necross the Harlem River.
"The cowboys and Indians had quite a celebration for us after- ward."
ALSO RUN, VT.-Private Frank
Wallace (retired), dean of the G.A.R. Veterans' Home here, ad- with Mae West In a "Little Women" mitted to-day that while touring company in 1911, he married her.
"We were too young to knew our minds," he said, "aid we drifted apart. I hear she's made quite a name for herself in the movin' pitchers since then."
As proof of his claim, Mr. Wal- ince exhibited a photograph of Miss. "Sincerely. Mae West, signed, West."
BILGEATER. TEX— at who did not the Frank Wallace marry Mae West," Frank Wallace, tumbleweed grower of near here, said to-day.
"I was never in Milwaukee, I don't like women, and who is this Mac West, anyway?"
YUHU, CHINA-Liang Ch'len, birds' nest hunter, announced to- day that he is starting by ox cart,
claim Mae West as his wife.
Mr. Liang, through an interpre- ter, said that he married Misa West in Milwaukee in 1911.
"But the records say, she mar- ried Frank Wallace," the reporter protested.
"Liang Ch'ien in English means Frank Wallace," Mr. Liang ex- plained, imperturbably.
