LONDON. May 13.- -Viscount Bryce, former British minister at Washing ton. and now chairman of a special government committee appointed to investigate and report on "outrages alleged to have been committed by German troops during the present war" has submitted the report of the committee to Premier AsQuith
 The document is considered as prob ably the most severe arraigument thus far made of the German military sweep across Belgium. mainly because of the position of Viscount Bryce as a historian, and also because of the care with which the investigation was made. the great number of witnesses whose testimony was examined. and the mass of evidence now submitted with the report of the committee.

 "It will be seen that the committee has come to definite conclusion up on each of the heads under which the , evidence has been classified: Tt is proved:
 First. that there were in many parts of Belgium deliberate and sys temstically-organized massacres oi the civil population, accompanied by many isolated murders and other out rages.
 Second, that in the conduct of the war generally, innocent civilians, both men and women, were murdered in large numbers, women violated, and children murdered
 Third, that footing, house-burnina and the wanton destruction of proper ty were ordered and countenanced by the officers Of the German army thai elaborate provision had been made fol systsmatie ineendiaIism st ths very outbreak of the war and that the burn ing and destruction were frequen

"Within the Law"

Dramatic,,success of recent years
offered by the Opera House Co., as
one of their twelve attractions.
Whatever the evils of the present
police situation and wrong-doing un-
yelled by the Rosenthal and Bertsche
affairs, the sponsors for "Within the
Law" are fortunate in having the
scandal develop at this time. A more
timely play play under the existing cir
cumstances could not be imagined, for
the story deals with police oppression,
disclosed in its most brutal form.
Cropping out from the main story is
q preachment against a capital that
underpays its hirelings and forces them
into dishonesty. Mr.. WELLER has not
hesitated to take his fling of depart
ment store methods, whereby shopgirls
are compelled to stand on their feet
nine hours day for wage too small
to allow them ordinary necessities.
1t is with theft in a big department
store that the action of the play be-
gins. Mary Turner, unjustly convict
ed of stealing goods. is sentenced to
prison for three years, but before she
starts out on her term takes occasion
to hurl a TRADE at the stores owner
and VOW that she will be avenged.
Once out of prison, Mary Turner is
disclosed as blackmailer and accomp-
lished confidence worker. But she al
ways keeps within the law" by the
aid of skilled attorneys, one of her as
sociates declaring that "Habeas Cor
pus is my lawyers middle name" Ma
RVS plan of vengence is to marry the
son of the department store man who
sent her to prison, and she finally ac-
complished her purpose. But when
she goes to the elder elders house to
prevent burglary planned by her as
sociates both she and elders son be-
come involved in the murder of one of
the crooks-a stool pigeon in the en-
ploy of the police.
1t will be seen at the "Cresco" on
Tuesday, Jan. 4, 1916.
