The Drama "Uplift."

OF the various ways for bringing better audiences
and better plays together discussed at the drama
luncheon OF the City Club the most practical was
that suggested by Mr. Walter Prichard Eaton
Reduce the prices said he and there' be no trouble
in getting audiences for good plays where
audiences exist for popular ones. His experience
told him that under present conditions the theatr

Good Ink and Paper Wasted.

The Committee Printing Of the House of
Representatives has just reported that in its opin-
ion the government wastes about 100000 a year
in printing useless documents. That is a good deal
like telling an old story over again Every com
mttee or commission that has ever investigated the
operations OF the Government Printing Office has
reported great waste there-not because Of In

FIGHTING FOR THE FLAG
A Pacihst View Of What Young
Patriots Should Do.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. During the last ten days when war
seemed imminent scores Of thousands Of
Young men in college. shop and farm
have ca gerly offered 10 abandon every
thing and spring to arms. These youths
have been valiantly ready 10 wade
through pestlential swamps. to march
over burning sands with swollen feet and
dripping brow. 10 toll up rocky sleeps
through prickly cactus, 10 ford rivers
where bridges have been burned, TO drink
foul water or go with parched lips and
tongue 10 be bedfellows with lizards and
be eaten by gnats and mosquitoes; TO
change their linen once a month; TO be
torn to bloody shreds upon barbed wire
barriers when fighting begins. and per-
haps to fill up bitches with their bodies
as Japanese soldiers did. to be ground
under the feet of those who followed
after.
These young men have known that war
means all this and more besides, that il
means facing an unseen foe with sharp
shooters in trees and crags picking off
the officers, and perhaps It means ampu-
tation of leg or arm without ever hav-
ing a chance TO see what Mexican army
looks like. These young men have been
two merely. but many OF them stand
ready 10 serve their country until the
war is ended. Mexico subjugated and their
younger brothers are sent out TO take
their places 10 keep il subjugated.
This devotion TO country, this readiness
TO give life itself for the honor OF the
flag would be very splendid II by the
people who constitute the nation whose
symbol the flag Is. A generation OF flag
salutes and singing The Star-Spangled
Banner" has developed an alteration Of
our symbol which far exceeds the rever-
ence for any symbol OF our religious faith.
How many sophomores would risk their
lives to prevent the symbol Of their faith
or broken BY mob2
Now, if this fervor and outburst of
pleas 70 be allowed 70 serve ones coun-
try means anything more than juvenile
yearning for adventure and excitement

capitalists OF their country who have
taken their oldtime garden plots and

During the period in which about 200
Americans and English have been killed
not BY executive order. but incidentally
owing TO troublous times-about 1900
persons have been murdered in our own
republic. We stand practically at the bot
tom OF the list among civilized nations
IN our proportion OF murders to tho popu-

Making Physical Valuation OF U.
Railroads

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has commenced the task of making n
physical valuation of the railroads of
the United States. This means that
every rail, tie, spike, in fact everything
pertaining to all railroads in the various
states of the Union, covering some
800, IA miles, must be valued in dollars
and cents, not only rs it stands at the
present time, but also on the basis of
the original cost. The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of
this undertaking is partly illustrated by
fact that while 81 900, 900 was appro-
priated for the work, it is considered it
will require approximately $4,000, 900
annually for several years to actually
execute it,. From the November Popu
