titude of General Smith toward the peo-
ple of Samar, the war department has
published an order issued by General
Smith at Saclabon, Leyte, Philippine

after expressing the belief that active OPP
position to the American occupation OF
the island has crumbled away, he says:
.'Henceforth, then, 1t must be the labor
of our officers and men to assist the loyal
natives in repairing the ravages of war.
No opportunity should be lost to instruct
them that the Americans have come
among them not to take away the goods
of life, but rather to give them more
than they have enjoyed before. But every
member of the brigade is enjoined never
theless not to lose from sight the fact
that he is dealing with people through
peculiarfties of their island topography
have developed along lines quite divergent
from those travelled by the great many
of their fellow Filipinos Our troops
must always keep in mind that the stand
ards of the natives of Samar were an
nounced to the world at Balangiga.
Watchfulness and kindness henceforth
must go hand In hand"

nently successful season will occur at the

Hackett will produce two new plays. Mr..
Hackett will give matinee of THE

The Crisis Is a dramatization of Win
ston Churchilrs celebrated novel of the
same NAME which is a romance of life
in st. Louis during that period that fore
Swallowed and embraced the great Civil
Conflict. In its stage from Churchill's
latest work is not what has been known
as a military drama, however. 1t is first
of all pure and natural love story much
involved by the military conditions of the
times, but the military element is never
more than a background for the love
story.
In securing 1.-THE Crisis from Mr..
Churchill, Mr.. Hackett had much oppo-
sition to overcome, The book had such
a large sale, and offered such unusually
strong material for play that all the
big managers in the country were after
its stage rights. But Mr.. Hackett play
ed the winning hand. He didn't want
to produce the new play until next sea-
son, but one of the authors contract

avoid forfeit Mr.. Hackett had to lay
aside his seasons success, Don Caesars

given at Pittsburg recently. Its first night
was abrilliant success and the judgment
of Pittsburg has been Endorsed by Cleve-
land. st. Louis and New Orleans.

MRS. CONKLING SPEAKS
TO LARGE AUDIENCE.

Birmingham women gathered at the First

Baptist Church to which the public is
invited
Mrs. Conkling was introduced by Mrs.
NJ ID. Jeffries There were several
hymns sung and Mrs. Jeffries read a
psalm preceding Mrs. Conkling's talk.
The moment that Mrs. Conklng began
her address her audience realized that
she was speaker of very unusual force.
Her voice is very clear and sheN was
heard without the slightest Difficulty
Her personality is very charming and
woman Of great mental strength and a
broad student of humanity.
All those who heard her were greatly
impressed with her lecture, which was
along the line of the proper moral train
ing in the home. 1t had been announced
that Mrs. Conkling would address q
| mothers meeting and in referring to this
she said that 1t should have been called
a parents meeting. Mrs. Conkling's re-
marks were principally directed to the
| responsibility that rests upon mothers in
the rearing of their boys.
The American boy, said Mrs. Conkling.
is being neglected for the American girl.
and she argued that the only safeguard
for the American woman was in the de-
velopment of the highest and noblest
| manhood. She declared that here was no
sex in soul, and that 1t was a mistake
not to demand as high ideals of morality
In men as in women.
Mrs Conking's subject was Your
Boy" and every mother present felt that
the lecture was In the nature of a per-
sonal talk.
Mrs Conkling has had wide experience
in the lecture field, her work carrying
her among all classes. She is widely
known in prison work. and she has fire.
quently addressed audiences composed OF
several thousand men. She brought tears
to many of her hearers eyes in recalling
many personal experiences. She told sew
eral touching stories that had their in
spiration in the little badge of white rib
bon and their sequel in a mothers love.
Mrs. Conkling spoke at length upon the
Importance of the proper home environ
ment and influence She said that the
high pressure of American life was ruin
| ing the home; that fathers saw too little
| Of their children and knew too lite of
| their habits.
