P.)— Kruile Coue. the little pharmacist from Nancy, came to America today on the steamer Majestic, hopeful of spread ing through the country his auto suggestive phrase, “Day by day. in every way. I'm getting better and better.” • Greeted at the pier by a party of welcome, he announced his intention of opening a clinic in New York, and expressed the hope that his methods would be introduced In medical schools to fight disease, and In penitentiaries to combat defects In character. He is a small gray-haired man with a winning smile, and he carried a small brown canvas traveling I hr. “Don't call me 'doctor'." he said. “1 am Mister Coue. “The real purpose of my trip is to spread the use of my methods in the United States. I come as an apostle. My greatest desire is to see my method of autopas suggestion introduced in the medical schools. “My method also helps materially j in curing defects in character. 1 should like to see it introduced into the laboratories of the penitentiaries. • “My method also helps in organic diseases and some times cures. Tt is easy to cure drunkards if the diunk arris are willing. M. Coue was asked if lie followed the principles of I.ielj^tult. who found- | ed in Nancy one of the most famous ! neuro and psychopathologieal labora tories in the world. “No. I am not following Liebauit,” he said. "I started in 1901 to study hypnotism as a curiosity. Then after continued experiments 1 deviated from tile methods used at Liebault's clinic where suggestion is used on people when they are hypnotized. “I do not hypnotize. 1 teach peo- j pie how to suggest to themselves, j 1 give advice only. I don’t use hyp- j notlc suggestion at all. “I make people shut their eyes Then I make them listen to what I tell them. Then 1 tell them to open their eyes and to continue to use the suggestion upon themselves. “I do not invoke divine help or j speak of religion. Of course if the patient is religious or invokes divine help. I don't interfere.

Deadlock Must Be Broken Or Europe Will Collapse t A situation fraught with inconceivable menace to Europe and the rest of the world is rapidly approaching the final crisis, all the dispatches from Europe agree. Certain officials do not hesitate to say that the Entente will end if France takes military measures before the conclusion of the discussions in the Premiers’ Conference at Paris. From the administration at Washington comes the statement quoted in the New York Herald that the reparations question is at the root of financial trouble in Europe. In addition, this government has intimated that until the reparations are settled on a reasonable basis, it is idle to expect that any aid the United States desires to extend can avail. And American newspapers hold that the deadlock on reparat ions is a big obstacle to the resumption of pros perity here, and hence affects every one of us. What, then, is a “reasonable basis” for reparations and why all\the difference of opinion even among former allies? That some impatient Americans appear tired of hearing about the matter, has been evident for three years, but that we need to gain some comprehensive view of the facts is more and more obvious. Remarks like “Why don’t they all get: back on the job?” and “If they’d use a pick and shovel more and a typewriter and megaphone less, we’d feel more like canceling debt*,” may ex press (he view of much of our press comment, but do not help the problem. The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST this week presents France’s claims. It shows (he actual damage which France suffered by the war; what France has done since the armistice to help herself ; how much Germany has paid in reparations. The information in this article was obtained by the editor of THE LITERARY DIGEST in Paris from the French Government and French press-reports, supplemented by information supplied by the American Committee for Devastated France, and from the French Consulate in New York. It is of the most definite and authoritative character obtainable and must be considered if one would understand the reparations question which is the core of all the conferences, negotiations, and disputes now agitating Europe and America. The article is profusely illustrated with half-tone photographs, charts, and maps.
