iastic judicial system. before a relig-
ious marriage is annulled the case

WAR BRIDES"
Nazimova at the Palace in an
Anti War Play.

"War Brides" by Marion Craig Went
worth, one-act play making a strong
appeal for peace, is now on the bill at
the Palace Theatre, with Nine. Nazim-
oya in the leading role. The playlet
which is published in the current edi-
ton of the Century Magazine" voices
the cry Of the women who are left be-
hind in war times 10 carry on the al
fairs Of the country in the absence of
men. Particular stress is laid upon
the custom of war marriages" Just
before the townsmen muster in and
prepare 20 leave for the front the un-
married women Of the towns are urged
10 wed the unmarried soldiers 80 that
they may bear children. and thus IN
crease the birthratc 10 Offset the ire
mendous loss Of life in battle.
When the play opens the maids OF
the village. fired with patriotism, are
marrying the troopers IN large num-
hers. NaZimoya (Joan). who is about
10 give birth to child whose father is
al the front, is not war BRIDE" but
married for love after a long court
ship. She denounces the practice and
argues against the women becoming
mere machines TO feed the nav Of war.
The authorities endeavor TO restrain
her from lettering the women from
marrying, and as she is about to be i'm
rrisoned word comes that her husband
and his brothers have been killed in
battle. Rather than give her child 10
similar fate at the hands of her
country she shoots herself. This is
all told at the highest pitch OF emo
tional stress, and undoubtedly has a
tremendous effect upon the audience.
particularly the women. at whom its
message is directed Nazimova plays
the part for all it is worth. spectacu-
lerly and tragically, but the subtle
force of her speeches appear to lose
force by her lack OF economy in gest-
ure and her evident inability to sense
the value Of light and shade in por-
traying emotions. The character in
her hands seems 10 want restraint.
The rest of the cast is not p9rticu
larly notable, except for the work of
Charles Bryant, who gives a good pct
ure of the lieutenant.
The play itself, while perhaps a
little proliX, embodies a splendid ar
gument for peace, and should be seen
or read by men as well as the women

RHODES MEN QUIT
STARVING BELGIUM
Sever Return to England TO
Take Oxford EXami-
nations.

London. Jan. 27.-After having spent
their Christmas vacation in aiding the
American Commission for the Relief
of Belgium 10 avert famine in Bel
GUM, seven American Rhodes scholars
have reluctantly returned to England
10 take the requisite examinations for
the present term. Neglect Of these ex-
aminations would have entailed the
loss by the students OF whole year
at oxford.
Two Of the students, who hail from
Arizona, had charge of the relief work
in the province OF Hainault. In the
district Of Charleroi alone there are q
half million persons who have been
provided with bread. These people on
last Saturday were all put on half
rations owing TO temporary shortage
of supplies.
"If the American commission cannot
keep up its present rate of supplies
Antwerp will starve," said an Alabama
Rhodes man who has been engaged in
relief work in that city. 81 stayed in
the house of one of the richest OF
Antwerp's citizens, director in many
banks, but his servants had TO go daily
10 the canteen TO obtain the regulation
allowance of food for each member OF
the household. The tragic thing is tina,
before long even those who now are
regarded as well off will be unable to
paw for anything and must become
dependent on charity. They are living
on their capital and savings, both OF
which are rapidly becoming exhausted
Some fifteen of the American Rhodes
scholars still remain in Belgium.

PLAN BIG REVIEW
ON MEMORIAL DAY
g. A. r. Veterans to Aid Stat
Guards in ManRuvrCS at Van
COrtlandt Park.

Fear that there was a movement to
change the observance Of Memorial
Day was dissipated yesterday by the
announcement at division headquarters
that the cooperation of the Grand
Army of the Republic was desired for
the proposed review and maneuvres at
Van Cortandt Park. Major General
John f. Organ will meet G.. A. r.
committee tomorrow to consider the
proposal.
1t is thought fitting that this year,
the fftieth anniversary of the end Of
the Civil War, there should be special
military features TO render marked
honor to the veterans Of that conflict.
The Spanish War Veterans will be
asked 10 share in the exercises. Such
an exhibition as is planned. it is be-
lieved. would make IL possible for from
100000 TO 100000 10 persons to witness
the maneuvres from the hills Of Van
Cortlandt Park.
Present plans aim to mobilize at the
park Monday, May 81, complete tacti-
cal division of troops. II is not the
intention to make this feature a cere-
monial parade, but the march of a
fighting machine, preceded by advance
cavalry and a combined arms advance
guard. to be followed by the main
body in heavy marching order. with
their wagon trains, machine gun COM
panies and equipment complete.
Such division would be made up
OF nine regiments OF infantry in three
brigades, two regiments of field artil-
lery. one of cavalry, a battalion Of
pioneers, a signal battalion, another Of
pontooneers, one field hospital, two
ambulance companies. field bakery,
pack train and division trains. Mounted
organizations would march 10 the park
Sunday and bivouac there for the night.
