CONVERSATION" GIVES WAY
TO MILITARY OPERATION.

For several weeks the diplomatic
agencies of France and Germany have
been engaged in what the Berlin
cables, with apparently no intent of
humor, have described as CONVERSE
tons" about the Morocco situation.
There has been no end of CONVERSE
ton" about possible war. But no war.
Italy and Turkey have dispensed
with the conversations, and plunged
right into the business of shipping
troops, Selling shipping, and organizing
for the struggle for possession of
Tripol.
Tripoli: recollect it is in the high
school geographical It was one of the
four divisions on the northern coast
of Africa-Tunis, Tripoli, Morocco, and
Algiers. Uncle Sam, when he was
much younger, had a famous little
brush with the Bey of Tripoli which
resulted in establishing a repute for
the spangle-vested party that is still
maintained in the Mediterranean re-
gion.
Italy wants Tripof, and, in . time

adopted what it conceives the correct
measures to satisfy its ambitions.
Tripoh is about as big as Texas null

thrown in for good measure. 1t is
Just across the narrow part OF the
Mediterranean from Sicily, and is q
part OF. the Turkish empire.
The Young Turk party that recent
ly locked up Abdul Hamid is in con-
troll at Constantinople. National SEN
timent in Turkey is supplemented by
an acute religious feeling, common to
all Islam, against permitting any
Christian aggressions. Wherefore the
Young Turks feel that they must
present strong foreign policy in order
to keep on the right side of their
people. They are losing no time play
ing for popular support. They have
seized one Italian liner, are hurryipg
preparations for war, and announce
that they will fight to the finish.
They can fight, too; no doubt of
that. Their record in recent decades
is rather more creditable than that of
Italy, whose colonial adventures in
Abyssinia led to the greatest disaster
any European government has expert
enced in the colonial field, save only
the Russian defeat in the Far East. 1t

production lacks much Of the vtrile force

A clean cut show, with plenty of pref
ty girls, a score Of catchy songs, a
number OF interesting specialties, all
interpreted with really witty lines by
a pair OF comedians, constitutes The
Kentucky Bellies" at the New Lyceum,
this week. More than forty persons are
IN the company. The girls are pretty,
have good voices, and can dance.
The specialties are OF a high charac-
ter. Topack and Manning, Marion Ben
son, the Elm City Quartet, LaBelle
Helene. Lester Pike, and Ben Byron
assisted in making the show entertain
ing from start to finish.
The members Of the company are

erage burlesque company. With 1.-The

Of the company, are recognized lead
ers in the burlesque field.
"A Night on a Crocodile Isle' is the
spectacular opener of the well-balanced
bill Of specialties that affords two hours
of entertainment at the Cosmos this
week. The Bender family do the turn,
presenting novel tumbnng and contor-
tons. A big hit of the show is "vin-
cenzo, the Mephistc of the Piano" who
brought forth thunders of applause. A
bright, new line of talk Is handed out
by Ned Dandy, the character comedian,
who also uses couple of original
songs. THE Newsboy and the Coon" a
quaint sketch, by Norwood and Nor

Is Funnier Than "Seven
Days." and Replete With
out Suggestion.

A French farce that Is absolutely
clean In plot and free from anything
that is in the lease suggestive;
French play that does not depend
upon the eternal triangle" in any
way. shape. or form for its being, or
deal with episodes that nice people
do not talk about, Is "A Million"
which opened in the Columbia Thea
ter last evening.
Around the search for an artists
paint-smudged blouse search that
lasted through four acts-the authors,
NJ Beer and NJ. Guillemand. have
woven story that is funnier and
more replete with laughable situa-
tions than Seven Days" When the
curtain fell on the first act last even
ing the audience sank back in their
seats and said to themselves:
We'll, there will be nothing to laugh
at In the second act"
But the second act was funnier than
the first, with more funny situations;
and the third was equally funny. and
while everybody wanted the poor
young artist and the pretty girl to
find the blue blouse and the ticket
that was in the pocket thereof. It
was not until one minute before the
curtain fell upon the final act that
the lottery ticket that called for a
million pesos, and which spelled hap
piness for the artist and the girl. was
slipped into her hand. and everybody
was happy.
Bohemia's Shores Are
Touched By Action.
There always is a fascination about
an artists studio. Perhaps because
the large majority Of persons do not
visit the shores Of Bohemia often.
The first act Of "a Million" depicts
the studio of Raymon Andrade, a
sculptor, which he shares with a
young medical student, Lorimer
Walsh, the latter character played
by Taylor Holmes.
Franceska Roversi, played by Eulalie
Jensen, is a young and beautiful model
who poses for the masterpiece" that Is
to make the young artist rich. Beatrice
the medical student has saved from an
attack OF incipient tuberculosis, and
Charles Burt, q reporter, have rooms
in the same building. Meanwhile the
rent Is due, and as Is always the case
in Bohemia, there is nothing 10 pay It
with, and there is nothing to eat in
the studio. Rose-colored dreams of the
time when all will be rich float through
the brains OF these four principals in
the play. Three go out to try TO raise

played by Irene Fenwick, alone In the

MURDER THEN WHO IS
REALLY GUILTY.

Mrs. Charles Moul, a widow, locked
herself and her little boy, aged six, in
their room over a saloon in Milwaukee
stuffed the cracks and keyhole with
rags, and turned on the gas. When
discovered they were both apparently
dead. This note was found:
Good-by, friends. Freddie and are
going away. I have tried so hard to get
along, but don't seem able to make
both ends meet, and this seems the
best thing to do.
The little boy was dead. His mother
was with difficulty resuscitated, beg
ging to be allowed to die.
1t was the too familiar story OF
widowhood, poverty, struggle, desPera,
ton, and suicide. The newspaper &C.
count of the case concludes thus:
Coroner Nahin said the woman's at
tempt at suicide caused the boys death;
and in case Of her recovery he would
hold her criminally responsible.
Criminally responsiblel That means
yes, it means that that half-starved,
half crazed, wholly desperate mother
will have to be tried for MURDER!
Under the law she is guilty.
In due course the processes of that
thing which the law calls justice will
find her guilty.
That mother could be HANGED, in
the regular course of law enforcement.
Hanged: and for whati
For being hungry, half-demented,
half naked. for being crazed over the
sickness of her beloved baby, wasting
away day by day with fever and the
want of foodf
But it was not her fault, it was not
with her consent, it was not because OF
her evil design, that she and the baby
we're so near starvation that the gas
jet looked inviting as merely the means
to save a few hours of the agony.
It was the fault, somehow or other
of that society that permits such
things.
1t was permitted to happen in the
same State that permitted a man tc
become very rich and then to pay
$4,000 to get himself nominated and
elected to a Senate seat.
That man is presumed to help dea
with and better the conditions which
brought that woman to turn on the
gas.
The same society that permitted that
man to debauch it permitted that
woman to come to the brink of starva'
ton.
And it will now salve its conscience
