The tabloid version of Richard
Carries musical comedy success, The
Tenderfoot," which opened an engage
ment at the Orpheum sunday evening,

main plot of the story and all Of the
better numbers of the score. and Inc
presenting company is a most capable
one. -
No comedian working al the Or

hearty welcome than in the case OF
Harry Shannon, who appears IN the
role of Prof. Zachary P. Pettibone, the
part created by Richard earle. MT.

PENDANT officer, was as different as
could we'll be ina gined.
The chief witnesses for the COM
plainant swore the Aulds were drunk,
or at least showed the effects Of liquor.
They either had not been drinking at
all Or showed very mild effects Of liq-
uor, according to the witnesses for the
defense. Both Aulds and Winter de-
MED any one was drunk or had been
drinking Delahoyde admitted the
Aulds were no more than slightly be-
fuddled by drink, but far from being
drunk. Other witnesses who saw the

At the afternoon hearing the COM

ernoon. Thirteen witnesses were eX-
amined. The last OF the complainant
witnesses that were called were r. Q.

pot baggageman: Frank Weaver, Will

less important than the evidence given
by the witnesses for the plaintiff. VINO

The important witnesses for the de-
Tense were John and Lester Aud, the
latter short two teeth that Taylor had
knocked cut; Charles Winter. an NJ. &

which TAYLOR clashed; and Officer Del

Soldiers Occupation in Civil Life Certainly Should Have Fitted
 Him for the Job.

Real war conditions sometimes give rude shocks to the professional soldier trained to arms in the well-ordered days of peace. Here is case in point A Prussian landwehr company was being mustered into service and there were many things to be done Uni forms, equipment, rifles, were to be distributed, rolls prepared, reports made out, and quartermaster's lists checked up. The captain had his hands full. He ordered his first sergeant to find q noncom, who could write neatly and figure little The first sergeant was equal to the emergency Corporal kammermeyer was prompt ly summoned and erisply detailed for duty as company clerk The corporal reported to the captain, who looked him over with mixture of wonder and distrust.

English mental processes found an illustration in the apology ex.Premier Balfour felt called upon to make at the lord mayors banquet in London Monday night. when he proposed a toast to the allies. It was against pre- cedent. he said. but he justified 1t on the ground that we are living in times without precedent" An Ameri- can would think no apology necessary for such a toast at such a time. In fact, it would have been taken as a matter of course, and its omission would have caused surprise. But it had never been done before at a Lon don banquet. and because it was with out precedent It needed explanation and apology Courant.

shown an inclination to depart from her long policy of noninterference, and has harried Moresnet with two main objectives. She has sought to compel the people of the little terri tory to declare their desire to become German subjects. and has also striven to drive the government of Belgium into surrendering it's rights Far be- yond any expectations. Moresnet citi- zens have stanchly upheld their inde- pendence. maintaining that the com pacts between Prussia and Belgium should never be severed Belgium has also remained stolid. even refus- ing to rclinquish her claims in eK- change for substantial indemnity.
 There have even been some in Bel gium whose doctrine it was to sur render Moresnet. with the natural ex- pectation that Germany would by reason of the concession, support Bel gium in more important matters A favorable treaty was not thought un- likely.
 In 1905 German papers suddenly de clared that both Moresnet and Bel gium were willing Germany should assume control of the little territory It was even intimated that Belgium was willing to sell her rights But the declarations were baseless.
 Two years later the people of Mores- net answered Germany in a more ma. terial way. A plebiscite. somewhat in the form of a straw vote, was held.

 How it is Governed.
 The local government of Moresnet during its hundred years of life is in. teresting. When Belgium and Prussia each said hands off" in 1915. each country secretly intended to keep one eye or he territory. This policy was carriea ut until 1S41. Under the ar rangement the neutral state was sub ject 10 joint government by both na- tions. In lS41 Moresnet received an administration of its own. A burgo- master. or mayor. and a council of ten members was the form of rule se- lected.
 Since 1S4l the state has worked out its own affairs. Nominally the burgo- master Is appointed alternately by Belgium and Prussia, but in reality and practice the Moresnetians choose their own executive. The council members obtain their offices at a vii. lage election every year.
 The inhabitants so inclined decide individually whether they will per form military duty for Prussia or for Belgium. and the result has been a nearly even division. with Belgium getting shade of advantage. It is Interesting 10 speculate just how many fathers and sons. brothers and cousins are now fighting against each other. and how much consternation must have been caused in Moresnet by the German declaration of war on Bel gium.
 The inhabitants also decide whether they will accept the jurisdiction of Prussian or of Belgian courts. As a result, the wrongdoers of Moresnet choose in such way as to suffer as lightly as possible.
 Moresnet boasts of no customs or tariffs. Belgian and German goods can go in or out of the territory with. out restriction. However. 10 prevent goods of one nation from being stored in Moresnet for couple of days and then sent over the other boundary freed from duty. both countries keep customs officials on the watch.
