BERLIN, April 1, 1911.
The government prosecutor has caused
proceedings to be taken against DR.. Lteb-
knecht. the we'll known socialist deputy
OF the Prussian diet-and q lawyer by
Professionalism a court Of honor of
the Berlin chamber of advocates. The
proceedings are in connection with DR..
Liebknecht's action at the socialist con-
gress held at Magdeburg last year. when
he attacked the Prussian and Hessian
authorities in violent language on ac-
count of the cars visit to Germany In
the accusation Liebknecht is stated to
have rendered himself open to the charge
OF slandering the car and the govern
ments OF Prussia and Hesse and Of using
provocative language"
The committee of the Berlin chamber
OF advocates at first declined to proceed
or to open the customary preliminary in
auiry. on the ground that Liebknecht' s
utterances were political" The chief
government prosecutor thereupon lodged
complaint with the kammerGerich,,
which made an order for proceedings to
take place without any preliminary in
quiry.

SMALL STAGE REWARDS
OFFERED BY GERMANY

committee of Berlin women inter.
ested in the promotion of the well-beins
Of woman workers has arranged for the
delivery of a series of lectures on ethical
and social problems by authorities in
various domains. One of these lectures
was delivered at the ministry of the in-
terror by DR.. Pfeiffer, a member Of the
reichstag, on the social problem as eyt-
denced in the life of actresses. Among
the audience were the wives OF the inn
perial chancellor and the secretary OF
the interior. the Countess Brockdorff.
the empress chief lady in waiting. and
many other ladies prominent at court and
in Berlin society.
DR.. Pfeiffer stated that the deplorab BILE
situation of many actresses was due
mainly to the fact that the number OF
actresses was greatly in excess of the
demand. and that SO much was required
of actresses in respect Of dresses, etc.
Last winter, he said, there We're in Ber-
lin alone two thousand stage artistes out
of employment He added. moreover, that
half the total number OF German actors and
actresses. namely. 1900. have an income
of less than $3.50 per annum. 5oOo an
income OF between $50 and 1913, ana
5000 an income of between 1915 and $40.
Only 1000 have an income exceeding
$3.50. A radical change can be enecteas
in DIR. Pfeiffer's opinion, only when the
theater ceases to he business enterprise
and becomes an art institution conducted
by the state or commune. He suggested
the establishment in the meantime OF a
species of theatrical university winch
should exercise a supervision in regard
to the training of novices and control
their admission to the public stage. He
spoke with qualification of the movement
started by the actresses themselves.
DR.. Pfeiffer announced that an imperial
theater bill, intended to define and inn
prove the status OF the members OF the
theatrical profession. was being prepared
