ASQU|TH URGED TO BUY
ALL COAL IN BRITAIN
LADY, MacLaren Considers Time
Ripe for That and for
Municipal Bakeries.
LESS HEAT FOR PALACES
Means Proposed for Rigid Econ
omy of Coal in Preparing
Food - Depots for
Every Street.
ID, c.AiAtn The Tribune l

London, March 9-Preparations are
being made 10 minimize the serious con-
sequences OF a prolongation Of the coal
strike. Lady MacLaren. a we'll known
author. suggests as a first step that MT
Asouith might prevent further rise IN
the price of coal by fixing a maximum
selling price. and instructing every mum
cipality and county council Immediately
tn takA possession of all stores or coal
NJ The government price. Even private
stores. she holds. should be comman-
deered wherever necessary and the coai
thus obta ained should be carefully guard
ed by police and soldiers.
Next" she says. "the bakeries must
be placed under municipal control, ana
a continuous supply Of bread must be
guaranteed in every district as long as
tbe strike lasts. All unnecessary hres
must be suppressed. Millionaires must
not toast their toes in the palaces whlIe
poor people are dying Of cold in the COT
tages. Rigid economy should be prac-
tised in the preparation Of meals ana
food dcpots should be organized IN every
street. Special boilers should be useo'
sufficient to supply hundreds of people
with hot, nourishing foods, such as tnicK
pea and bean soups. for one cent the
basinful.
"All feeding centres should be provideI
with boiling water free. where men an
women could fill their teapots. Pawn
shops should be opened by the munici-
palities to provide people with food IT
return for goods.
THE Elberfeld system could be adopt
ed, whereby towns are divided into ois-
tricts. each under q captain and help
ers. who would be responsible for every
street in their district and would report
cases OF need 10 the municipality.
committee OF public safety should be
formed and every capable citizen should
be pressed into the service to help. Com
pulsorily idle workmen should be kent
busy collecting fuel and filling kettles
The money market is profoundly ex-
ercised on the question whether II should
make advances against the securities
owned by the trade unions now on
strike. The total funds Of these organi-
cations are in the neighborhood Of SlO,-
OOOOOO invested in stocks and mort
cages. Such advances. II is argued,
would virtually amount TO financing the
strike. and leading institutions have
practically decided not to provide the
money.
According to the governments official
figures. 10000 men have been thrown
out Of work since the beginning OF the
strike. It is estimated that by Saturday
next the number Of men unemployed
will be doubled.
The American Steamship Line an
nounced to-day that all its sailings from
Southampton have been suspended ow-
Ing to the strike.

NEW PLAY BY N. D0NNAY.
"Le Menage de Moliere" Staged
at the Theatre Francais.
DRAMATIC DEATHBED SCENE
Reconstruction of Domestic Life
Under Louis XIV-Other
Plays in Paris.
GBy Cable to The Tribune.

Paris, March 9.-"Le Menage oe
Moliere" ("The Domestic Lie OF
Moliere'), a historical comedy IN verse
in six acts by Maurice Donnay. was en-
Enthusiastically applauded this a1terno''i
at the dress rehearsal OF the Ihea're
Francois by an audience that copi-
prised all the prominent literary men
and women of Paris.
The play gives pictures OF phases Oh
Molieres family quarrels and puts III
new light his relations with Madeleine
Betart, who was his mistress, ana Win
Madeleines daughter Armande, whom
he married.
There is a highly dramatic scene IT
the last act, where Madeleine BeJar1
on her deathbed, has the costumes CT
all the characters in Moliere's plays
which she impersonated brought oetorc
her and expires while describing the
emotions she experienced while acting
them. Mile. Berthe Cerny won great
success as Madeleine Bejart, and Mile
Marie Leconte played with delicious
frivolity the part Of the faithless AT
mande Bejart. lie Menage de MoIiere
IS beautifully mounted, and merely as a
reconstruction OF domestic life during the
reign of Louis XIV is well worth seeing
John III. or the Irresistible vocation
CT Young Mondoucet," comedy in three
acts by Sacha Guitry, was brought out
last night with great success AT the
Coincide Royale Theatre. Sacha Guitry'
who plays the part Of a stagestruck son
OF very straitlaced bourgeois parents,
gives full scope TO his rlirth both as al.
author and an actor, and with his wife,
whose stage name is Charlotte Lyses,
and the capital stock company OF the
Coincide Royale keeps the house in
constant roar Of laughter.
There is scarcely any plot In the play,
which, however, has the advantages OF
wonderfully vigorous action and subtle
observation Of character. 1t contains,
too. some masterful touches, bringing
into humorous contrast the prim, matter
of-fact surroundings of the Mondouce:
family and the reckless, bohemian &C.
centricities and also the pathos ans
sentiment Of life behind the scenes in
the theatrical world Of Paris.
"Cartouche." an operetta in three
acts, composed by Claude Terrasse
words by Dellorme and Gally, produced
last night at the Trianon Lyrique, has
for its hero Cartouche. the popular ban
dit of French nursery rhymes, who de-
fends the oppressed and protects the
love affairs Of young girls. The music
IS bright and contains several catchy
airs. It's characters include familiar
marquises. great ladies, villains, detoc-
tives, police officials and frolicsome
youths. while Cartouche is represented
as a sort Of grandson Of Polichinells
and grandfather OF Arsene Lupin.
A dance called "Cartouchette," resem-
bling the Argentine tango. made a great
hit, the last measures being accompanied
by an original continuation of flutes and
drums.
