James F. ]. Archibald. who will appear
here in an uncensored war talk Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings, at the Metro
politan Opera House, Is one Of the very
few foreign correspondents who visited
the Austrian front on the eastern side o.
this great conflict. Mr.. Archibald was
with the Austrian armies on Won Hinden-
burg's right. and saw many Of the great
movements which have become famous,
including the great retreat through the
passes In the Carpathian Mountains. Mr..
Archibald was personally presented TO the
Field Marshal His Royal Highness Arch
duke Frederick, who commands the Aus
trian armies, by his son-in-law, Prince
Hohenloe, the Austrian Minister at Ber-
lin. Among Archduke Frederlek's many
titles is that OF Duke OF Teschen, and it
so happened that the headquarters Of the
army at that moment were situated at
Teschen. and Archduke Frederick re-
ceived Mr.. Archibald in his own castle
where he was invited TO attend the mess.

ART STUDENTS ADRIFT
Supposed to Be Wandering Along
Main Line in Unusual Garb.

"dlii LING III OUuSuHl IdTD.
Three young men from the Pennsylvania
School OF Industrial Art are wandering
somewhere along the Main Line OF the
pennsylvania Railroad this morning
dressed in flowing white robes. dainty
nurses caps and bearing a ghastly red
cash around their necks after the fashion
or a successful suicide. Their exact
Whereabouts are unknown to their
friends. They are somewhere between
this city and Downingtown, Pa.
Last night. after having signal honors
conferred upon them by the Delta Phi
Psi Fraternity, into which they are being
initiated they were led to West Phla-
delphia Station and placed upon the II :52
Pittsburgh train with a ticket each for
Downingtown and nothing else. AS they
were moro or less desirous OF stunning
publicity they sat in the end seat in the
train and left at their destination without
undue ostentatlon. After that the inky
darkness of the night swallowed them.
The young men. Moss, Reilly and Dris-
coll. will probably arrive here some time
today 1t is not expected that they will
enter the city by the front gate. In fact.
they did not seem deslrous of entering
at all.
But they will come back, that is nearly
certain, because the most essential part
of their attire is securely locked in the
rooms of the Delta Phi Psi-and 1t Is still
chilly these mornings.

play, MISS Ford and 80 "'
Mr., OHiggins had already drafted the
plot of the crime in ''The Argyle Case, "
and Mr.. Burns worked with them on the
solution of that crime as if it were a case
brought into his own office.
The methods which he employed in de-
tecting the criminals are those which
have made Burns famous. The plot of
the play is not founded on any real case
in his records, and no attempt has been
made to portray him on the stage, but he
has directed the work of the detectives
in the play as he would his own oper-
atives, hearing the progress of the drama
as he would hear the progress of an in
vestigation, and advising on it in his
office among his cases as IL II were really
one of them.
The first scenes were written at the
time of the Mcnamara confession, and
he heard them at the successful conclu-
sion of his work in Los Angeles. Some
of the later scenes were passed. upon
while he was incognito in a Philadelphia
hotel, directing his investigation of the
graft in Atlantic City.
In the midst of his work on his inn
portant cases in Detroit and Washing
ton, Columbus, Chicago and New York.
Mr.. Burns has accepted his role of con-
sulting playwright as a happy recreation
"We'l get together on this tonight" he
WOulu say 10 the dulnOTS1 ABOUT sOU-
after the rest of the office has gone to
bed" According to the authors, running
out play-case with William j. Burns
is a shortcut to a sanitarium. There's 5
nothing so busy as Burns.
Mr.. O'Higgins has something 10 say
about the criminal class that has made
the theme OF so much of his writing:
They're just human beings! Gunmen
and gangsters, safe-breakers and kidnap-
pers murderers and miscreants in general
they're just human beings. Crooks have
senses and consciences and feelings. They
run cities and nations and politics, and
plays and trusts and railroads and lot
of things. Any morning you're likely to
pick up the paper and find out in the
latest bunch of graft Investigations that
some of your friends are high-class
crooks.
For, potentially. there's not much diff
ference between a crook and an honest
man. A crook is a man who has been
tempted beyond his breaking point. An
honest man is man who has not been
so tempted. Our breaking points vary.
for some of us can stand more tension
than Others-but none of us is unbreak-
able!
'The people who get into prison are
put there because society at large-you
and the rest-believs that they have
proved by breaking the law that they are
different from the people outside of prison
and need different treatment for the
safety of the public"

eel Keegan, the demand has risen to
$3,043.75, and formal action to recoy-
er the sum has been started against

For the first time authority is
found for the accusation that liquor
Colonel Keegan left in his home

party, was missing when he again
took possession. The schedule seeks
reimbursement for $50 worth Of Ii
quor and wines. they were all in
the house when BILLY" Sunday oc-
