Lecture On Great
German Cities

On October 26, Prof. f. L..
Smith Of Delaware College, gave
a lecture on "Great German Cit
les" before the New Century
Club, of Milford. Professor Smith
said in part: "The greatness of a
city is not question of how many
persons dwell within it's walls. but
with what do they occupy. What
role have they played and are they
playing in the economic advance
ment of the empireY What part
have they taken in building up a
better and more efficient form of
government? What have it's cit
izens contributed to the advance
ment Of the world in art, literature,
and sciencei" Continuing, the
speaker explained why Berlin,
Dresden, Weimar, Nuremberg.
Munich, Bremen, and Hamburg
should be considered as great ar

tistic, literary, and commercial
centers. In conclusion he said,
"It is the steadfastness Of Ger
man character, the indomitable
and progressive spirit, as exempli-
fed by the many achievements to
which | have invited your atten-
ton, that have placed Germany in
the forefront Of the worlds pow
ers."
This lecture is one of those offer

Candidate Miller's Reply
To Democratic Issues

Next to the ceaseless and exceed
ingly noisy promising the Demo
Gratis did along the line of decreas-
ing the high cost Of living in the
campaign Of two and four years
ago was their arraignment of the
Republican Party for reckless and
extravagant national expenditures.
The Democratic Party in it's plat
form Of 1912 declared "we de-
nounce the profigate waste of
money wrung from the people by
taxation through the lavish ap-
preparations of recent Republican
Congresses. We demand re-
turn to that simplicity and econ
Omy which BELTS a democratic gov
eminent and a reduction in the
number of useless offices the salar-
les of which drain the substance of
the people.
Right in this connection let me
quote from a speech made by the
President of the United States
when a candidate for election.
Our platform is not molasses to
catch flies. 1t means business. It
means what it says. 1t is the ut
terance of earnest and honest men
who intend to do business along
E those lines and who are not waiting
to see whether they can catch votes
with those promises before they
determine whether they are going
to act upon them or not. They
know the American people are
now taking notice in way in
which they never took notice be-
fore and gentlemen who talk one
way and vote another are going to
be retired to a very quiet and pri-
rate retreat. -
With that platform pledge and
that utterance of the President
where our opponents 60 pleading
for votes, the expenditures of the
present Congress to date have ex-
ceeded the expenditures Of the last
Republican Congress by more than
$100,000,00O. The other night in
his Play House speech Senator
James of Kentucky did not men,
ton these facts, neither did Sena-
tor Salisbury nor my Democratic
opponent. They knew, and every
body who reads knows, that the
War Revenue Bill just framed
was not made necessary by the Eu-
ropean War but by Democratic
waste, extravaganza and incompe-
t ncy. Our opponents in admins
tering the affairs of the National
government have spent 800, 900,
900 more than their income and
they lay a special direct tax to
make it up. This deficit was in
CURED by an unparalleled and un-
precedented extravaganza yet three
United States Senators and one
Representative in Congress speak
to an intelligent audience in Will
mington and never mention the
matter. The molasses mentioned
in the President s speech of August
18th, 1912, at Washington Park,
N. j., caught the flies all right and
the flies are now wriggling around
in the molasses but enough of them
will get out to light in the voting
booths and do business on Election
Day.

yance, take for instance what Con-

WHY WE ARE DANCE MAD
Mile. Dazzle Explains Our Zest
for the Tango and Trot.

Dazzle, the American dancer. has her
own ideas Of tho reasons more or less
sub-conscious which prompt the civilized
world to dance itself into terpschorean
delirium. She says:
People arc dancing mad because they
have found a diversion in which they
are themselves the principals. II was al
ways the fault OF the American man and
woman that he and she never knew how
TO amuse themselves except by hiring
professional entertainers
They sat inert and watched stage
plays and listened TO music: they basked
on bleachers and gazed upon husky ath-
ietes beating baseballs with clubs or boot
ing leather on the gridiron. They were
nothing themselves in amusement, no
matter how efficient in business. They
began to tire OF the professional mime
and Sportsman. and longed to be them
selves the players in the game.
And then. like gift from Heaven,
came the new dances. and men and
women awoke TO the fact that they had
bodies which moved rhythmically to the
strains OF exciting music, save them de-
lightfuI exercise and fascinating COM
radeshlp. They found an inspiration In
the rhythmic expansion and contraction Of
their muscles. their brains cleared, the
fire OF life burned up brightly and exist
ence vas renewed.
They are now the dancers and the
dance: the actors and the play. Each is
important; each has something TO do. and
the desire Of sitting like an alligator on a
sandbar watching hired tragedians, come
dams and strong men has gone like
smoke.
I'VE depend no longer upon extraneous
aids TO amusement. The finest diversion
life offers lies in music and our own bod
les. The dance is tonic. bracing and pro-
gressiye. 1t is the sworn enemy TO stag
nation and reaction.
"On with the dance. for its exhilarauon
is beyond all other stimuli! Approached
IN proper mood, with pleasing partner
il is more invigorating than a sea voy-
age or a mountain climb.
We are all principals in 'he dance; We
are protagonists and conteaders. Go TO
with your plays and your bridge tables
and your athletes"

SUCCESS IN VAUDEVILLE"
Ry EDGAR ALLAN WOOLF.

When a certain famous English actress
sppeared in the New York vaudeville
theatres about two years ago. although
her beauty Of person, her charm of voice
and her distinguished manner were in
evidence, the audiences Uttered during her
emotional scenes, and at the termination
Of her playlet the applause lacked the
ring OF sincerity. The reason was ap-
parent. The vehicle in which she APP
reared was a fabric OF artificial situa-
uons. far away from the reality OF every
dsv life, with a termination that was evi-
dent before the sketch was five minutes
old. Another we'll known American actress
has been appearing this season in a ''dra-
matte" playlet that is rehash Of LA
Tosca" and Fedora" with a few extra
"Ssrdouisms' thrown IN, and the result
is ANYTHING but satisfactory. No audience
is quicker 10 sense n false manufactured
situation than a vaudeville gathering, and
whereas Sardou could in a four-act play,
disguise by clever stagccraft his super
melodramatic situations so that he swept
his audiences into outbursts OF enthusiasm
over a happening that belonged purely to
fer such preparation and trickery. The
result is. the audience sees a situation
in its bare truth. If that situation is not
q thing of flesh and blood the whole play
let will tumble TO the ground. That Is
why the playlet writer must give even
more thought TO the selection OF his theme
than the legitimate author \ three-act
play often scores in spite of an old or
.riaing theme, if the treatment is new or
clever. But no cleyerncss OF treatment
alone can help a one-act play 70 success.
II the primitive idea is not one that will
reach the heart and mind. no trickery

EMBARGO ON FUEL AND ALL ELSE BUT
 FOOD INTO SONORA

DOUGLAS, April 2s-(SpeeiaD -orders received from Washing ton today at the Douglas customs office declared immediate embsr- go on all supplies into Mexico excepting food-stuffs.
 Coke, coal and oil are specified among numerous other things which may not be put across the line. Arms and ammunition have been prohibited from cross ing since early last week.
 The immediate effect of the order today has it's most serious consequences in connection with the mining industry. The stop page of all fuel at the line of course means that the smelters and mills of both the Greene Can anea and the Naoozari mines are barred from operation until the embargo Is lifted.
 In northern Sonora the em- bareo will also mean the inter ruption of railroad traffic. There is little fuel on the Sonora side for the Naeozari railroad and probably less for the S. p. from Naco south.

IS POSSIBLE TO MOBILIZE THE ARIZONA
 GUARD WITHIN "A HOURS, SAYS HARRIS

PHOENIX, April G".--Asking for permission to organize aational guard company at Wilcox for probable i'm mediate service in Mexico, telegram was received by Adjutant General Charles W. Harris from John Gungl of that town.
 Gung is son Of Paul Gungl. bandmaster at the state industrial school at Fort Grant, and an old bard leader of the Ninth United States cavalry.
 Harris stated that he cannot grant Gungl's request R.nce there are al- ready twelve national guard com panies in the state ard these twelve companies compose a full regiment. The Wilcox patriots, however, who are anxious to become members Of the guard. can enlist in the other com. panies already organized.
 ITO organize a new company down there would be just like taking in volunteers. The whole idea of the national guard is to prepare men for possible trouble said Adjutant Gen eral Harris.
 Now that the Mexican trouble has assumed such grave proportions no time will be lost in completing the or
