Middle West gave the independents a
warm welcome, and--now the South.
Richmond people don't give the snap
of finger for any row between the
syndicate and the Independents. They
don't care whether Maxine Elliott or
Ethel Barrymore is sent out by Klaw
or Brady. But from expressions which
can be heard any time the subject Is
discussed. they do contend that the
leading theatre in the leading city OIL
the South should be open to the lead

All Hail, Margaret Field!
It Is doubtful Ii Richmond audience
VIII ever again have an opportunity Of
witnessing such an example of sheer
bravery, Of cool, calm courage and OF
spontaneous acting as was offered last
night by Margaret Field in the presen-
tauon by the Benjamin Players Of Is
taei Aangwilfs charming comedy.
Merely Mary Ann
Just before the curtain rose the stage
manager. Mr.. Blunkall. appea red upon
the Stage and expressed the deep regret
OF the management that Miss Catherine
Garter. who was TO have played the
title role, had been suddenly taken Sc
riously i'll and that her part would
have to be played by Miss Field. He
craEsd the Indulgence OF the audience
and, indeed, offered to refund TO any
one who desired it the cost OF his
ticket, for the reason that Miss Field
had never even rehearsed the psrt.
AS a matter of fact Miss Garter was
present at the rehearsal yesterday. and
1t was not unit latter Z O'Clock las,
night that the management learned OF
| her illness, and then 1t was, for the
first time, that Miss Field saw the lines
OF the part. She had never rehears ed

PEACE CANNOT
BE EXPECTED
Former Secretary Of State
Does Not Believe Nations
Are Yet Ready.

Hartford. Conn. Nay 12-John w
Foster, former secretary Of state. in az
address here today before the New
England Arbitration congress, raised the
question whether it was reasonable 20
expect peace among the nations, and
stated that the prevailing answer to The
question would be IN the negative.
After combating this question at
some length, Mr.. Foster took UP the
three foreign wars in which our coun-
try has engaged. and discussed them
in detail. The war of 1912 with Great
Britain, he contended, although justi-
fled under international law, was cI-
tered upon against the better judgment
of the country.
Fruitless War.
President Madison and large minor
ity in congress strenuously opposed it
and 1t was only entered upon under the
lead Of a party known as the war
hawks at the head of whom were
Henry Clay. John c. Calhoun and other
young public men. with the boast that
we would dictate a peace at Quebec
Five days after congress declared war
and long before the news reached Eng
land, the orders in council which were
the main cause of the war, were re-
pealed. Peace was made without set
Ting single question about which the
contest was begun. Never was a war
more fruitless in its conclusion. 1t was
neither inevitable nor necessary.
Mexican and Spanish Wars.
In the judgment of history the war
with Mexico was provoked on our part
and was largely inspired by the spirit
of slavery extension.
The war with Spain had some of the
characteristics of that of 1912, in that
the president was opposed 10 war, and
struggled for peace to the last. and it
was congress and an excited press that
UNNECESSARILY forced hOsulities. The
Spanish government would in the end
have yielded to the demands of our gov
eminent If time had been allowed for
the negotiations
Peaceable Settlements.
Mr.. Foster then made review of the
returns of the United States with Eng
land and Canada to show how the many
irritating questions during the last hun
dred years had been settled peaceably.
The naval disarmament for the great
lakes, in force for nearly a century,
was cited to show how an enlarged dis
armament might be put into practice.
