WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE
 THIS WEEK.

THE COLISEUM will be more than ever popular this week for it is the only stock company in town. and since it has drawn a very large pa tronage while there was well develop ed opposition, it should now do even bigger and better business. The new management of the old house is grad uany making a number of improve lnents the effects of which are all ready noticed and with the main teiance of the standard of fun already set b,- the Ellis Musical Comedy Co. the outlook is certainly bright and attractive.
 This week, as usual, there will be two. changes of bill and it :s planned to stick to straight musical comedy offerings for both programs. As usual Rena NiVienne will be the bright par ticular star around which the others revolve and with Earl Hall, Frank Nack, Alice Lewis and the other prin- cipals all appearing in roles which give them great opportunities to dis play their very marked ability, it should be a week overflowing with fun and good humor.
 With each change of bill there are two excellent picture offerings, in fact tke pictures at the Coliseum have be- come one of the big features of the nights performance.
 THE COLUMBIA today offers Stop Thief for the last time and

 For Tuesday, "Wednesday and Thursday, the great Famous Players production of "The Dancing Girl l in which Florence Reed is featured, will be shown and it is hard to think of a story which should make a more interesting film play. Some years ago :his play was one of the most popular offerings of New York thea : trical history. It is a corking story and we understand that it makes a splendid picture. g. For Friday and Saturday a paradox 1 is offered for No Laughing Matter | in which Macklyn Arbuckle is featur- | ed is so full of laughs that it amIses l the most bored and blase of the film fans.

Revelations by the Presidents Friend.

Upon the heels of the report that President VIII
son has formed a new and close friendship with
Oswald Garrison Willard, publisher of the New
York Evening Post, Mr.. Willard, who boasts that
The was born on American soil of a German
father has delivered notable address, calling at
tention to the danger to American life in the for
nation in the United States of groups of people of
German ancestry who-as conditions growing out
of the European war have proved-are disposed
to place the traditions and interests of the Faith
crland ahead of loyalty to their adopted country.
Said Mr. Willard:
How amazed Carl Schurz would be to return
to us today to find that that has come to pass
which he deemed inconceivable, that German
American affection for their native land has inter-
fered with the proper attitude of the great bulk OF
these toward the land of their adoption. He would
find to his horror that at this moment their pres
ence on this soil does not help to preserve peace
and friendship between their two parent nations,
but adds fuel to the flames of bitterness.
Here is recognition from high and unassailable
source, OF condition that, when it has been limited
at in the past has been seoffed at by the unin-
formed as the fgment of anti-German imagination.
AS a matter of fact the State Department records
contain bulk of corroboration of Mr.. Wizards
assertions, some of the details of which would
amaze if not alarm great many of our easy-going
citizens. A deplorable and surprising circum-
stance is that this sentiment which places Ger
many first and the United States second finds SYM
pathy and encouragement among many pro-
fessed Americans. This nation has just passed, it
is hoped and believed, through a grave crisis in
volving its friendly relations with Germany. and
to the shame of many so-called Americans, of
neither German ancestry or affiliations they were
found supporting German contentious against those
of their native country. Some of them will at a
later date be found appealing to their fellow
countrymen for votes to place them in high Office.
Their reco<d of the past few months is not likely
to be forgotten.

Minnesota Republicans at Sea.

An observapt and astute writer political
topics calls attention to the perplexiy of the Re-
publican voters of Minnesota over the choice of a
candidate for the G. o. P. nomination for Presi
dent. They will be called upon next March to vote
in the primaries for delegates to the national con-
ventions and these delegates to be pledged tc
support a certain candidate for the Presidential
nomination. 1t is plain sailing for the Democrats
because there will be opposition to delegates
pledged to Woodrow Wilson. But the law re-
qures 500 signatures to place Presidential candi
date in the running, and SO far the Minnesota Re-
publicans all at because no one has yet
come forward to guide them. 1t appears that even
under the new national primary law the boss is
not eliminated. Some one must be appealed to
unless volunteer directors of public sentiment ap-
pear, and it would seem that it is up to the stand

A Reproach to the Navy.

A day or two ago The Washington Herald ex.
pressed doubt of the report that the three subma.
rines OF the same type as the F-4 were still in
service. The opinion was advanced that these YES
sells should be equipped with altogether new
system of batteries and engines, or, If this should
be found to be impractical they should be con-
signed to the scrap heap forthwith. naval in
vestigating board, which conducted an inquiry a,
the time of the disaster to the F-4 last March is
authority for the assertion that all the boats of the
F-4 type similarly defective, and The Herald
based its disbelief of the report that the other three
vessels are still in service upon the theory that no
responsible authorities in the Navy Department
would permit these submarines to go to sea and
invite for the of the navy fate as horrible
as that which overlook the twenty-five whose
bodies were brought to the surface in their coffin,
the F-4, and which await identification in
Honolulu.
But now comes verihcation of the statement
still in service, coupled with the announcement that
Secretary Daniels is consulting experts of the Navy
Department to determine whether or not they
should be withdrawn 1t is subject which re-
qures no consultation. Unless the serious defects
known to exist in these undersea craft can be
remedied and they be rendered safe the
most modern. submarine possibly be they
should be converted into scrap iron. 1t is possible
that the board which examines the wreck of the
F-4 may discover that the disaster was not due to
the defects described by the earlier investigators,
but this should make no difference. Defects it is
officially reported, exist in all of the boats that
liable to disaster at any time. The United
States much better afford to discard these
boats, than it needessly to risk the life of
even of its sailors. The vessels that are now
in service should never have been sent to after
the disaster to the F-4, though they have been on
several occasions and q the risk of scores of lives.
1t is situation closely approaching disgrace to
the United States navy.

Is there no other side to the ques-

1t is amazing that now when the
thought is: How can We improve
conditions, better the environment
and help our less fortunate neighbors

systematic effort to advance mea-
