London. May 2s.-The presence OF
Mrs. George CORVALLIS West and other
ladies on the Admiralty yacht En-
chantress and on the cruiser InfleXible
during the holiday OF Winston Church
III and Premier Asquith in the Medi-
terranean is likely to be subject OF
questions shortly in the House Of Com
mons.
There has been considerable criu-
cism Of Mr.. Churchill and his right TO
dispense the public funds for his per-
sonal holidays and amusement. The
Opposition and the Labor members are
particularly "peeved." while even Mr.
Churchilrs friends are asking whether
the rules Of the Admiralty permit even
the First Lord inviting his lady friends
to accompany him on yachting trips a:
the public expense.

SIR HERBERT TREE
AS MOLIERE'S J0URDAIN
LIE Bourgeois Gentilhomme,
with Strauss "Ariadne,
Enthusiastically Received.
~ Cahle to M Trihune ]

London, May GA superb produc-
ton was given by Sir Herbert Tree at
His Majesty's Theatre last night Of
"Ariadne in Naxos," which is comedy
and opera in one The comedy is an
adoption Of Moliere's lie Bourgeois
Gentilhome," and Richard Strausss
little opera "Ariadne" has been dove
tailed into it. The production was
made on a grand scale and was re-
ceived with the utmost enthusiasm.
The play is the story of poor Mon
sieur Jourdains advancement into the
world Of fashion. He learns various
polite accomplishments, he dons Won
derful clothes, he tries his hand at
fencing and his wit at logic. He even
tries to sing. His wife is far from
sharing his social ambitions, but Jour
dain, nothing daunted invites his high
quality friends TO a strange and gor-
geous entertainment. He gives them
an opera founded on the legend or
Ariadne's desertion by Tcheseus. and
also a troupe of Italian buffoons. The
opera, the buffooneries and the dances
all take place together to save time.
and when at last the curtain has fallen
and Jourdain awakes he finds his quail
ity friends departed. But he doesn't
mind. There is even consolation for
him in being insulted by people Of such
high standing.
Sir Herbert Trees Jourdain is a won
derful piece Of stage portraiture, full
Of delicate little details, quaint bits OF
observation and improved throughout
with the real comic spirit. The little
song incident was delightful. and so
were many other episodes. Indeed, the
whole performance was a JOY and a
delight to the audience. and the great
ovation given TO Sir Herbert at the
close seemed TO suggest that the run Of
the play and the opera will be an ex-
tended one. The whole affair is unique
and everybody will want TO see ii.

HAILST0RMS IN ENGLAND

London, May 27.-The heat wave Of
the last four days has been broken, as
was expected, by thunderstorms. I'm
fortunately, these were accompanied in
some parts Of the country by terrific
hail, which did great damage to fruit
trees, vegetable crops and greenhouses.
Hailstones which are variously de-
scribed as resembling marbles, hens
eggs. sparrows' eggs and pigeons eggs,
weighed in some cases twelve ounces
10 one pound.
London for the most part escaped
the storm, but in some Of the suburbs
there was a heavy fall Of rain last
night. and Walworth Church. in South
London. was struck by lightning and
set on fire, but the flames. were quickly
extinguished.

They Must Sign Peace Treaty
Without Further DeIay-AI-
most an UItimatum.
SIR E. GREY, SPOKESMAN
Delegates Taken Aback by
Vigor of Remarks-Servia
and Greece Still the
Recalcitrants.
fBy Cable to The Tribune. ]

London. May 2s.-Yesterday there
was an entirely fresh development in
the situation in the Near East. Sir
Edward Grey received al the Foreign
ONCE the heads Of each Of the four
Balkan delegations separately. and in
tmated 10 them without circumlocuuon
his view. which is understood TO be also
the view Of the entire concert Of
Europe. that the treaty Of peace drawn
AT the express desire Of the belligerents
themselves should be signed at once
without further delay or attempts at
notifications.
There is reason 10 believe that Sir
Edwards tone was much stronger than
any that has hitherto been employed by
the powers TO the parties concerned,
and the vigor Of his remarks. amount
ing virtually 10 an ultimatum, consid-
erably surprised the delegates, espe-
ciaIy those Of the allies. While the
Bulgarian and the Turkish representa-
tives declared their willingness 10 sign
. the treaty at once, the attitude of the
r Servian and Greek delegates was far
less satisfactory.
In both cases the old reply was made
that the matter must be referred 10 the
governments at Belgrade and Athens,
which would, Of course. merely mean
another extension Of the dilatory tactics
these two cabinets have already pur-
sued so long. 1t is hoped that the Ser
Wan and Greek representatives Will
Immediately receive the necessary in
structions from their governments,
otherwise IT is practically certain that
Turkey and Bulgaria will wait no
longer but sign the treaty themselves,
leaving the other allies to do what they
like. Such IN event would, Of course,
signify TO the world at large the formal
and open ruption Of the coalition, which
mas already to all practical purposes
broken down.
Some os the Balkan delegates ex-
press the opinion that the communica-
ton of the powers savors more Of in
tervention than Of mediation. But the
real reason behind the ultimatum lies
in the determination of the diplomats
to get the draft signed so as to be IN
a position TO take up the big questions
remaining for settlement after the pre-
liminaries of peace are adopted.
In the mean time the position as be-
tween Sofia, Belgrade and Athens re-
mains very serious. The Bulgarian
general staff has its plans all ready
should war break out with servia and
Greece.
The correspondent of The Times
sends the following dispatch from
Athens:
Bulgaria is striving TO come to an
agreement with Greece in order to save
her entire forces free TO operate against
Servia. The Bulgars propose to give
up their claims on SalOnica on condi-
ton that Greece abandons certain ter
ritory in the Panghaion district. Should
this arrangement succeed, Servia and
Greece Will be separated by Bulgarian
territory.
Premier Venizelos is starting from
Athens TO join King Constantine at
Salonica General Savoff also will 60
