Hauptmann Hardened by War Horrors British Author Explains Callousness of Accused Man. BY HELEN WELSHIMER Sf.A Srntf SUII Writer THE vacant look in Hauptmann’s lace as he sits in court, the central figure in the most sensational crime of the day, has attracted more than one commentator. There is nothing evasive about It. It isn’t particularly withdrawn. It’s emoty, unfeeling, as
though the mans windows open on nothing. Some have wondered if his is a callousness beyond the average range. But Ford Madox Ford, noted British author, has explained that look most aptly. He, too, says that Hauptmann seems beyond this world of ours and beyond

our hopes. But he gives a reason.; The carpenter went to war with the German troops when he was only 17. Lots of other boys did, too. Sensitive, half-frightened lads, seared to the soul with the grim reality of the horrors that their young eyes beheld. They had seen life so briefly, their background of experiences was so small, that the tragedy was more than they could bear, more than they could put aside when peace came at last. Mr. Ford says that when he heard that Hauptmann was one of the youthful soldiers, and that he had been gassed and slightly wounded, he knew at once what separated the man from normal mankind. The British author, who conducted the escort for German prisoners in Flanders in 1917-1918, believes that no boy who there formed his first conception of life could be or ever become quite normal. In the revelation of experience it is not difficult to understand why Hauptmann’s eyes show r an inabilfty to feel acutely the stigma that is branding his name. It is almost as though his soul has withdrawn. But it hasn't. It can’t feel any more. Idealism Wrecked in War When we have walked with sufsering, crime, baseness, seen them in their stark reality, and comprehended them, there can be no lesser tragedy that will ever again hurt. True, there are those who walk among graves untouched by death. But when once comprehension has come the harm is done. When sensitivity has burned itself out in a spiritual crucifixion the soul can't respond again, for the recurring pain, thougli monumental to others, will be as pin pricks, vaguely felt on a hardened surface, to the one who has left no emotional response. Asa lad of 17 Hauptmann saw Wholesale brutality in a world dedicated to death and pain. He saw r it and comprehended it with frightened young eyes calloused eyes now as he sits in court. He fought his way through that terrified Gethsemane that laid waste France and Germany and Belgium only a score of years ago. When the war was done, so was idealism. Burned out. Fled in the smoke and cannon roar. The boys who could never be men in spirit came home. Tortured Spirit Remains And thus we see so easily how the man accused of the heartless kidnaping has not grasped the honor of his plight. It does not affect his innocence or guilt. But it explains his reaction alike to enormity of the crime, if he did commit it. and to the great injustice done him if he didn't. He has been in hell before. The present one can not wound him. So it is with any great experience in life, which is comprehended with heart and soul as well as body. “The heart once broken is a heart no more.’’ Edna St. Vincent Millay writes in a deathless sonnet. The spirit tortured till it crumbles is never well and complete again. Preliminary initiation services will be held by Aipha chapter. Phi Theta Delta Sorority.

B 1 GIN HI RE TODAT: Treasure M Oulre. IS. small and slender with a be \ jtitul lac- bl .e eves and aoiden hair has married Anthony nari, 20. son of a rich San Francisco widow and younger brother of Hudou MoUnarl. cynical, dissipated, who had wanted Treasure for himself, but not to marry her , . . The weddine of Treasure and Tony had bern s<*rret Whn Tony's mother iearns of it. Rudolf coniir.ces her that Treasure has vict.mized Tony—tha’ she Is not a good s ri because she worked as a mcht elub hostess—that she 'ad been Rudolf's see*heart before Tony knew her. R ,doif comes to Trei ure and Tony's rpartm.ent and forces .s attention on Treasure When Tony t -, ers. Treasures hair is disarranged and .tere is lipstick on R ,dolf s Ups. Tony turns and leaves al’hout a aord to Treasure and Rudo.f tells her that hi- mother is sending Tony to New York for several months. Treasure -s confident that Tonv will see her before he go? -that he will no: allow Rudolf s lies to change h;s determination to remarry her when he becomes 21. But Tonv does not re - urn' to the apartment. Hoping to find Oliver Keith, musician, who had befriended her. Treasure returns to work at the night club as she has no money. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER SEVENTEEN TWO months had passed. Two of the longest months of Treasure's life. And still she had no word from Tony. At first in spite of the fact that reason told her otherwise, she looked for a letter but as the days went by she realized that even this small consolation was to be denied. At the end of the first month when she was compelled to move from the apartment he had rented to a cheaper one she gave her forwarding address to the postman, but he received it indifferently as if even he knew it would be unnecessary. During the month she had lived on Eddy-st she had received no mail. Why should he expect any now? The new place was only a room with permission to prepare her own breakfast and lunch in the kitchen. Under anew arrangement with Pete she obtained dinners at the club, but she was eating so little that food was of no importance. All she needed was a place to sleep. Poor Ellen was so worried about her. Treasure had been forced to tell her about the annulment and although she had done so as cheerfully as possible, her mother had been hard hit. “It doesn't seem fair,” moaned Ellen. “I had hoped you were going to be so happy.” “Maybe we will yet. Mama! Tony said we would be married again as soon as he is 21.” “Are you sure he will want to, Treasure? Sure he didn’t have anything to do with annulling it?” Ellen demanded, having no reason to believe in the promises of any man. “Os course he hadn’t.” the girl answered gallantly. “It wasn’t Tony’s fault. They've sent him to New York to get away from me but he’ll come back some day and when he does everything will be all right again ” But to ner mother it didn’t seem as simple as that. “Did he leave you without any money?” “He hadn't any. They took his allowance away from him.” “He’ll have to have money in New York won't he?” “I suppose he will but I imagine they’ve made some kind of an arrangement o that he will have just enough for his own expenses.” “The mean things,” Ellen declared, wiping her eyes. “They’d ought to oe ashamed of themselves.” “His brother offered me some money, but I wouldn’t take it.” “Why not, Treausre? You should have.” “Why should I? Tony doesn't owe me anything.” “You never can tell,” Ellen said wisely, “what might come up.” “Well, I don't want any help from them,” Treasure stated emphatically. Her father had taken the news with more philosophy than they expected. “Easy come—easy go,” he had I commented when Ellen handed him the clipping. “I told you no good i would come of that wop's hanging I around here.” “It wasn’t her fault—nor his,” El- ; len answered loyally. "Nor yours, of course! You didn’t know anything about what she was planning when she packed her clothes and went traipsing off tc Reno.” “Yes, I did,” Ellen admitted, “and I didn't like the idea of them getting married secretly but there didn't seem to be anything I could ! do about it.” “You could have kept her at home.” he shouted. “If you'd any brains you'd have known better i than to let her marry a kid whe wasn't even of age.” n a tt Guiltily Ellen felt that this was true. She should have stopped them. Should, if necessary have forced Treasure to stay at home. But the girl had seemed sc ! sure of herself. So positive that it was the right thing. , L “I didn't have the heart to stop her.” she said defensively. “It was a chance for her to get away froir home and you were being so mear to her.” He grumbled, “That's nothing tc what I’ll be if she tries to come back. She does nothing but defy me. And I don't want her sneaking back here, do you understand?’ “She won't.” “She's made her bed. now let hei lie in it,” he said virtuously filling his pipe and kicking off his shoes ir preparation for a comfortable evening. -It was all right with Treasure She didn't want to go home. Better the squalid solitude of the rooir she now occupied han the abuse ol a father who had never wanted her She went on her way dancing through evenings which seemed j endless and returning in the early mornings on the street cars, cold and miserable but so tired tnat she fell instantly to sleep. She seldom wept. Even in the | mornings which became increasingly j difficult to face she tried to think. I "Some day he will be back,” or “Maybe today I'll get a letter.”

Rudolf came to the night club once just after she had moved. She did not know if Juanita had told him that she was there or whether he came on his r-wn account. But because he was Tony's brother and might have news of him she forced herself to be pi .ite. Returning his greeting pleasantly and consenting to dance with him, although the touch of h‘s arms nauseated her. “How are you, Treasure?” he asked. “Very well, thank you ” “Have you heard anything from j Tony?” “No, I haven’t,” she answered, hoping that would please him. “Is he all right?” Rudolf’s velvety eyes gleamed. “What a swell little kid you are. I could love vou myself." She did not reply. Her. heart was too heavy for levity. She could not —would net, pretend that she was happy without her husband. “I think he'll be coming back before long,” Rudolf said. “And when he does do you think it wise for him to find you working here?” He probably was lying again. She no longer had any faith in Rudolf, but she answered coolly. “It’s where he found me in the first place.” “But the situation is different now, dear! Os course,” Rudolf said lightly, “it’s up to you. I just thought it might bes. good idea if I found something else for you to do.” And have Tony run away from her again because she had let his brother help her? No thank you, thought Treasure, remembering Tony’s face the night he had found Rudolf in her apartment. But she answered courteously that she would rather not accept help from any one except her husband. Rudolf said gently, “But he’s not your husband any more, you know. That’s over.” “He will be,” she insisted with more confidence than she felt. “You’ll see.” “Well I say this for you, you’re a better wife than any man deserves,” Rudolf said gallantly. But his words meant nothing to her. Although she had steeled herself to hear it, the mention of Tony’s name had made her feel weak. This man who was only his brother knew where he was. Could reach him by wire or telephone. While she who had been more to him than any one else did not even know where she could find him. a b tt HER face was so serious that even Juanita would not have been jealous and, perhaps, Rudolf was bored. At any rate he left shortly after that without dancing again. More weeks went by. Four more weeks so much alike that she could have screamed at the monotony. The men she danced with were so similar that she could have told what each would say before he spoke. Could almost have predicted the exact size of her tip, if any. Whether he was married or not; from out of town or a San Franciscan. The married ones were the worst. They expected more for their money, but the ones who weren’t seemed to think she should be more grateful for their attention. And all of them treated her with a familiarity which bordered on rudeness. Particularly after Tony's chivalry. Sometimes not often because she had learned there was no solace in tears—she recalled the day they had walked together in Muir Woods. How he had lifted her upon a stump and touched the tip of her dusty shoe with his forehead, crying, “Now I’m doing you homage.” And now she began to be worried! Frantic for fear he would never come back although there were times when she admitted Rudolf might have been telling the truth. Anthony might be on his i way home that minute. And when he came, when he saw her, he would be sorry for all she had suffered. But her most secret fear she confided to no one, not even her mother. With Ellen she affected an optimism she no longer felt. And Ellen, loving every inch of her, studied her sharpened features and suspected the truth but dared not say anything. Then one night in March—a rainy, stormy night Treasure looked up to see Carlos Bermudas at the night club. She spoke to him coldly but he came directly to the table where she was sitting, saying, very humbly for Carlos, “May I sit down? I don’t want to quarrel with you. Treasure.” , “We’ve nothing to quarrel about that I know of, she answered list- ; lessly. She was wearier than usual that 1 night. The atmosphere was heavily oppressive and the man she had been dancing with more clumsy than usual. “I want to beg your pardon,” Carlos said, leaning across the table. "I read about the annulment of your marriage to that Italian fellow.” "Oh. that,” she said with a sigh. “I didn’t understand. Treasure.” “I told you you didn't.” “I should have been kicked down the stairs for talking to you as I | did. You’ve no idea,” Carlos declared, with his beautiful eyes shining ; through tears, "how sorry I’ve been. I was too ashamed to even try to see you. Then, too, I wasn't sure : you'd see me.” “It didn't matter,” she replied. “What's the matter, Treasure? You act so different.” She tried then to smile. “You haven't forgiven me,” Car--1 cried, dramatically.

“Yes I have. Carlos.” “Will you prove it by dancing the! tango with me?” he demanded, eagerly. Well why not? It was Carlos who had taught her to dance it : in the first place and at least he could dance. It would be a relief after the stupid partner she had been enduring. “I will if they play one without ! being asked,” she agreed leaving it to chance. She should have known better. Only evil stars were shining for her at present. It was only a few minutes before the orchestra was playing a tango. It was Monday night and as always on Monday there were fewer customers than any other time. So it happened as it often had when she had danced it with Tony that there was no one else on the floor. Although it had been months since they had danced it together neither of them had forgotten. There was none of the mysticism Tony had imparted to it but Carlos danced it perfectly. Every one at the other tables was watching with admiration as the two so contrasted in coloring, whirled into the dance. Then, just after they had started Treasure who had been unconscious of their audience looked up to meet Anthony’s eyes regarding her from their old table where he sat alone.
