GREEN SAYS RATES
 ARE REALLY TOO LOW

Duluth, Minn., July 13.-L. Green, traf- fic manager for the Southern railway, testifying in the case of the Atlanta, Ga, traffic bureau against several roads from the Atlantic seaboard, said the rates now in existence are really too low and that the plaintiff is not entitled to further reduction. The present low rate, made in 1905, he said was forced on the railroads by the hostility of the Geor- gia railroad commission. Distance, he testified, has little to do with the pres- ent schedule, which, If based upon mileage, would be much higher.
 Commissioner Meyer adjourned the talk ing of evidence until October at Wash ington.

Mythology's fount has run dry as a source of inspiration for the creators of lyric drama. Wagner reborn would hes itate before writing the Ring
 This conclusion is pointed with painful persistency by the pathetic fate of the Hammerstein-E Ellis presentation of 'The Children of Don," a new opera which took the boards with al lthe elect of authorship by peer of the realm Lord Howard de Walden and the undoubtedly superb Hammerstein stage managerial genius Both influences together, aided by a really brilliant cast, could not put this monumental melange of mythology over the footlights and into the hearts and minds of the house. The audiences yawned through the successive acts and left bored by the Cymric cuttings though breathed through very decent music of the heavier harmony sort. The operas of the future will cling closer to modern Mayfair and the brain throbs of Broad way. We are no longer interested in dead and gone superstitions which require six-cylinder mental motors and close ac- quaintance with the classics to flesh their rattling bones. Life, bubbling puls- ing life, is as essential to stage as to literary success I doubt very much whether many of my club friends could say off the bat whether Hengrist was hero in his day or a sort of early Saxon patent medicine. We go to the playhouse to be amused, mortified or slapped bang up against new and novel conception of things we know well and can easily understand. The preach-play, the school play, the musty, metaphysical, mytholo- gical dug from the grave opera or drama is dead as Dante.

Austria Hungary is creeping close up
 to the annual appropriation of the United States. Japan, Russia and Italy are all more generous in their treatment of pro- fessional estimates for naval efficiency.
 The attitude assumed by some of the politicians in Washington surprises many
 good friends of peace and the United
 States here. The British at least deserve
 credit for realizing that patton with out an adequate navy Is no nation to speak of. Churchhill tells the commons the amount of money he wants, and he
 gets it, grudgngly enough from Chan
 cellor Lloyd George, but ungrudgingly
 from the house as whole and from the people.

London is to turn boulevardier and loll In the open-air cafe. Perhaps?
 Sir Laurence Gomme, clerk to the Lon don county council has inspired an experi- ment by which it is hoped to convert considerable number of London's saloons (popularly known here as "publics') in- to cafes after the style of those of the gay capital He thinks it would help the cause of temperance on the principle that when people drink in the open and under the eye of the passing throng there is less likelihood of over-indulgence.
