"How preposterous to ask me to make a speech to writers.

After all, I may fool other, but I can't fool you As for plays, I'm not the fallow who does the work, it'a chapa like Mr. Mei here, the actors, who do the work. I sit by and take in the money they make for me by their efforta."

Mr. Shaw was asked why he was a vegetorian,

"There isn't any mystical or spiritual or complicated reason. It's very material. It fills me with disgust to think of eating flesh. That's my only reason. Vegetarian dies is the diet of heroes and sinners, and, of course," said he, howing and smilitig Impishly, "I admit being the saint.”

"Well," he said, "Now you've had a look at the bird, I suppose I'd better go along and see these newspapermen who are cursing me for being late,"

A Military Pact? Paris, Feb. 16-Following the emphatic German and Italian de nials of the rumatys alleging that a secret military pact existed be tween Germany, Italy, and Hung- ary, a semi-official statement was issued here to-day to the eflect that, contrary to press reports, no in- formation concerning the alleged treaty of alliance had ever been brought to the attention of the Chamber's Foreign Affairs Commit- tee.
