BENEFIT TO SOCIETY.
Another OF the stabbing affrays that have lately
become 50 common on the stage Of the local the
ares occurred on Thursday night. AS is always
the case. an actress stabbed an actor This Is the
third case OF the sort within short time. Both
the stapDer and the stabbed went on with their
parts Nobody in the audience knew that any
'hihg unusual had occurred and the hairbreadth
escape or the actor would never have been known

III uhe nature or press agent 10 hide the truth
Wheh IL incrm.nates those whom he IS depend
eht Tor ms 1ob, and in the case OF a mere acci-
dent the press agent does not live who would
withhold the glad tidngs from the expectant
people
Inc press agent said that the actress hit the actor
with bayonet. and pierced his person two

The lamentable failure of all these cases is the
unworknaniike way in which actresses always STAB
actors They ess than half do It, If the actors

would find the papers only too CAD to announce the

OUGHT AMERICA To lNTERFERE!
ENGIAND's PRECEDENT FOR INTERVENTION IN
SUCH a CASE AS ARMENIAs
To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In your issue OF yesterday you do me the
honor to quote the remarks I made the sub
ject of the Armenian horrors. at the dinner of the
New England Society of Brooklyn Forefathers'
Day. but you editorslly scout the idea of active
Intervention by America, and you apparently hold
to the opinion that We, a nation. can do nothing
in the premises
So far as | am aware no one has advocated forci-
bic Intervention by the United States alone. What
| suggested was that the nation might properly
follow In the footsteps of the English Government
when II so gloriously arrested the massacre in
Piedmont. begun in the Spring Of the year l61J Let
me restate those steps:
/. England through Cromwell appealed with
perfect courtesy but unmstakable earnesness to
the Duke of Savoy, who issued the bloody edlct.
.. In eloquent language Cromwell besought
all the sympathizng powers to join Eng
land in imporng the Duke to stop the persecution
and make restitution to the survivors.
3. He proclaimed a day Of national fasting.
humiliation and prayer for the harassed and
hunted Picdmontcse and that God would turn
the hearts OF their oppressors.
T. lie promoted a national subscription amount
Ing in present values to more than $l,OOoo0o In aid
of the sufferers
= He dispatched "a special envoy TO the merc-
less Duke to Let him feel that there a steel
hand inside his soft glove.
g. lie addressed individually many nations Of
Europe, asking their active cooperation. If need
were. and assuring them that he would be glad
to join his forces with theirs and move on Savoy
once II their appeals were unheeded
Without giving just offence to Turkey America
might follow these precedents. appealing to the
humanity Of the Sultan inviting all civilized nations
TO join in similar appeal: recommending TO all
the churches religious observances, and, TO all the
charitable, generous contributions, appointing an
Investigating commission such has just been
una nmously voted by Congress. and lastly, while
encrgetically disclamng all thought Of aggrand-
cement, extending to every nation outside Of Tur-
key. an Invitation to cooperate with the strong
hand I'm putting stop to the atrocities which every
telegram from the Levant assures us are stl going
on. the butchery torture. robbery and starvation
OF tens OF thousands OF our innocent and helpless
fellow Christians.
The great example set by England 2i0 years
ago. II accomplished the end in view. No one Of
these measures Is bcset with difficulties. one
Of them violates treaty: no one Involves serious
risk apprccable expense: no one unwarrantaDly
mixes up with European complications Even II
the effort should fan 1t would still have been an
unspeakablc honor to America to have thus lifted
up her voice for humanity. But TO sit dumb with
folded hands. that is an unspcakabe shame.

He expects to have the whole OF summer,
after closing his regular dramatic season, for the
preparation of the lectures. lie will then fill the
engagements already made for hin theatres in
various cities, and have the OF the winter left

follows: Efforts TO influence legislation affecting
the Army should never be made except through
regular military channels the adoption OF any other
Method will be noted in the military record OF those
concerned"
