"Androcles and the Lion" forms an

Much interest lies in the fact that these
two plays are staged in the new style of
stage decoration so entirely foreign to
anything hitherto seen on the American
dramatic stage. The impressionistic
trend of European managers is seen In

Oxford In War Dress,

London, Feb. 1.-THE black of the
academic gowns of the oxford stu
dents has given way to the khaki Of
the army. Students who have not yet
joined the army attend classes occa-
sionally, but they drill most of the
day. Five colleges have been deserted
entirely and turned into hospitals and
quarters for troops. Conditions are
worse than in the seventeenth CEN
tury, when the civil wars were in
progress.
The same buildings arc there. The
crumbling stone and the ivy arc the
amt but these arc the only things
that have not changed. The teaching
staff is only a fragment of what it was
last year. There arc no student ac-
t%iviticS. except military ones. Tho a-i-
tation to close the school until the end
OF the war is strong.

Colonel Sir David Henderson Mentioned
Thrice as Aviation Hero.

organization and its proved efficiency
is Colonel Sir David Henderson Of the
Royal Flying corps.
Sir David is a soldier Of twenty years
experience and served conSpicuously in
the South African war. OF course,
that was before any II W thought
of an army flying corps. But Il few
yeals later the possibilities of the aero
plane were demonstrated and Sir Da-
vid Henderson was one of the first
men in the British army to look ahead
a few years and see the wonderful
uses to which the flying machine would
he put in warfare.
Prior to the advent of the flying ma.
chine he had been a student of the art
of reconnaissance, and to him the Brit
ISL war office turned when the possi-
bilitics of the flying machine were first
beginning to be, realized. The first
thing he did was to qualify himself
as an air pilot, which did not take him
long. He had not been studying the
possibilities of the flying machine in
warfare long until he decided that it
was notwithstanding the art of scouting.
Then he set to work to organize the
Royal Flying corps, which has been
giving such Il good account of itself in
the fighting in France.

l.. Bristol, chief of the acronautical
bureau Of the navy, declared that the
navy needs 200 air craft. 100 for active
service and 100 to be held in rcservc.
1T would require an appropriation
OF S.. OOO.tOO to bring the acronauticul
branch of the navy up to the proper
standard Of efficiency" Captain Bristol
says.
The air navy of the United Statcs,'
said he, must consist of ucroplancs,

stroycr. cruiser and hattleShips of the
air, respectively. TIL" %a"r"planc will

against the nirShip cruisers and battle

rincs and mines, it directs the air
cruisers to attack these craft, and at
the same time protects tic cruisers

cruisers also will lay mines. probably
