The mishap occurred on Main be-

ENGLAND CENSORS
PROBLEM PLAYS

OF late a certain change has taken
place in the United States and Great
Britain. The number of people who
consider all theaters as necessarily
snares of the evil one is perceptiby de-
creasing. Even the intellectual Puritan
taught by the free-stage societies and
kindred organizations, considers IL no
longer beneath his dignity to go 10 the
theater.
Here, however, the parallelism between
England and America ceases. Whereas
in England the censorship still prevents
the dramatic presentation of certain re-
ligious and seX-problems. the American
manager is, legally at least. much more
unrestrained. We have seen In New
York and other cities public perform
ances of plays that, Ike Salons" and
Mrs Warren's Profession have fallen
in London under the legal ban OF the
censor.
There Is in America a growing pub
lie that regards the drama not merely

RUSSIA OPPOSES

THE HAGUE. June % The debate on
the question OF the exemption of privste

speeches in favor of the American
proposition. as also did Baron MacchIo,

Before his departure for Paris. Senior
Drago stated that he had not definitely
decided as yet whether or not he would
submit his proposition concerning the
collection of debts TO the conference on
July 4, as he had intended.

tuEity for Joseph II. Choate TO deliver
a long and eloquent speech upholding
the principle of the exemption OF all
private property. except cOntrabdnd'
from capture on the high seas.
The sitting, which lasted fof two and

ton of the following questions:
First-Do practice and legislation ad-
