NEW YORK, July 19.-Augustus
Thomas has been selected, Broadway
esquely speaking, as the white hope
OF the drama. The Frohman Inter-
ests showed remarkable enterprise In
securing his services as art director
of their enterprises and the theater
going public may also feel gratifed.
Thomas is not only one of the
most distinguished playWrights but
is an excellent authority on theatre
cal production. He is qualified to
appraise dramatic values from the
point of view of both the author and
the producer He will occupy q posi-
ton where he can exercise very di-
rect influence on American dramatic
art.
1t is to be- hoped that under his
touch the Broadway drama may, to
a certain degree, realize the ideals
which it was the unaccomplished pur-
pose of the New theater to foster.
Thomas is said to be man without
an enemy. He is considerable and
kind in his stage directions and has
always proven an inspiring friend to
actorAfolk. -. s...A.-a-.

An Easy Way to Get

The trouble with most thin folks who
wish to gain weight is that they insist
on drugging their stomach or stunine II

flesh creams, or following some fool
ish physical culture stunt, while the
real cause of thinncss goes untouched
You cannot get fat until your digestive
tract aSsfmilatcs the food you eat
Thanks to a remarkable new scientific
bine into simple form the very elements
needed by the digestive organs to helm
them convert food into rich, fat-Iaden
blood. This master-stroke of modern
chemistry is called Sargol and has been
termed the greatest of flesh builders.
Sargol aims through it's regcncrativc
IroconstructiNc powers to coax the
stomach and ntcs;ines TO literally soak
up the fattening clements of your food
and pass them into the blood, where
they are carried to every starved.

s F,ent, there Is an understanding be-
tween the United States and Great
britain that none OF the latter's ships
all be given clearance from Ameri-
In ports IL armed.
Officials late tonight were inclined
to the view that the case would hinge
largely upon whether the Armenian
was given warning, and whether she
attempted to escape after being or
& dered to stop The right OF vessel
I, to attempt to escape upon sighting a
hostile warship was upheld in the last
/American note TO Germany in referring
Ito the case OF the Falaba, and at the
same time II was held that after the
vessed had stopped upon warning, she
3 was not subject to attack until per-
{ sons aboard had been removed.
From the fact that two shots were
fired at the Armenian when the sub.
marine came TO the surface, some of
fcials think the ship may not have
needed the warning TO stop. If this
should prove to be the case. these Of
icials think subsequent torpedoing
ould be justified, as IT is the duty Of
the captain Of an unarmed ship to
yield to capture when actually halted
or take consequences OF resistance.
