The Old Homestead" which comes
to the Illinois next Sunday, has peren-
NAL popularity is strongly evidenced
nual tour Of the play, and their friends
seem to increase in number instead
of lessening. There are innumerable
scenes in the play that come home
to all, and anyone who has ever tast-
ed the delights of rural life cannot
touches of nature embodied in this
New England idyl. Joshua Whitcomb
himself is the eritome Of honest, bu-
collie simplicity, confiding, SYMPATHETIC
and brave, a character so CHEEKY and
wholesome that he brightens every
shadow and lightens every others
burden. Then, too, there are two
boys" Cy Prime, nigh onto eighty"
and Seth Perkins, who never grows
old despite his years, both of whom
are the exemplifications of the adage
applied by Joshua himself, How true
it is that once a man, twice a child"
These characters. together with those
of Aunt Matilda, Rickety Ann and the
Ganzey boy, harmonic with each 9TH
er and are as natural as like itself
| Frank Thompson promises a COM
/ plete production Of his fathers play
and a cast of unusual merit. The ia
nous quartet of farm hands will. as
usual, entertain Uncle JOSh's city
visitors, and the grand choir in the
Grace church scene is said to be as
/ impressive as h sretofore. The orig
inal company viii be seen here. Old
friends as well as new will welcome
the grand old play

strUCtion Of WinchelI Smith, the au-
thor of the play. he develops into a
respectable young man. whose heroics
lead him 10 q successful business and
domestic denouement Surrounding this
character there is particularly strong
theme concerning the father and
mother of the boy. The stress Of con
ditions IN which he finds domesticity
distorted through the efforts Of a
blackmailer-a detective, is pleasantly
relieved by Winchell Smith, VINO
seems to know how TO inject at the
proper moment the comedy touches
OF light and shade where tears and
emotion would ordinarily dominate
the scene. That Mr. Ross rises TO
the occasion is only another evidence
OF this popular young actors versa
tiiiry in handling quite the most serious
part in his career. The company that
will present The Only Son" here is

in Chicago and New York, among

MUSTY THESIS ON
WAR WORK OF
REAL GENIUS

WASHINGTON, Sept. ga re-
was unearthed from the mass of prac-
ticalIy valueless documents in the
archives of the war department at
Washington. which is being used
with pronounced effect to stimulate
interest in a larger and a stronger
army. 1t is The Military Policy of
the United States, written by Brevet
Major General Emory Upton, United
States army, and was published in
1880.
The Military Policy" is a 500 page
book, which treats exhaustively of
the wars of the United States, giving
this nations history from a purely
military viewpoint
Major General Upton was grad
uated from the West Point military
academy in 1880 as a very young man.
Immediately entering the civil war,
he became successfully a commander
of battery of artillery. a regiment
of infantry, brigade of Infantry, a
brigade of artillery and division of
a boy at the close of the war. al
though having gained for himself the
title of one of the greatest soldiers,
from technical point of view. the
United States ever has produced.
Contemporary officers and states
men regarded him as military
genius and predicted that he would
go far in his career. 1t was cut short,
however. by the advent of death. COM
paratively early in his life; now he is
forgotten by the mass of the people,
and until recently was little known,
even to army officers. With the
resurrection of his Military Policy"
a great literary work, in addition to
being of premier value as a military
treatise his fame bids fair to take
up the course of its flight where it
was cut short by the reaper
So exhaustive is his work that only
the merest hints of its contents can
be given in a letter of this length.
but his major contention relates to
what he considered the Imperative
need Of the United States for a strong,
numerous. and well equipped stand
ing army. His arguments in favor
Of such military policy are so vital
that his successors as proponents of
the same policy have been able to
do no better than to use General Up
toms arguments. Indeed. they con-
find.
On the other hand, citizen of a
republic who is military genius
may rise to the office of the chief
magistracy of his people with no
royal power to deter him. Instances
without number may be cited to il
lustrate this theory.
General Upton calls particular at
tention to the war heroes of the
United States. He points out that
Washington was rewarded with the
presidency. and likewise Jackson,
Harrison. Taylor, Pierce, Grant, Hayes
and Garfield, all because they had
shown valor and proficiency in war.
In addition to these, scores, even hun
dreds. of army and navy officers were
awarded cabinet portfolios, other
high appointments and great offices
in the gift of the people in recogni-
tion of military service.
With such premises as these, Cen
eral Upton pleaded in 1880 for a
larger army. Now his successors in
that propaganda are to use his new
found volume. The Military Policy of
