In checking off the Lenten days, gladness this year comes a real req son for joyousness. The social cal endar has never recorded any event that has quite taken the place of the Country club play of year ago. but now even christopher Jr.,' gives promise of being relegated to the for gotten past and all because of a new and infinitely more clever and inter- esting Country club play. Seven Days" Maitland Davies who was re- sponsible for last seasons glorious success will again be the directing spirit and fashionable folk are still speculating as to the cast. There really could not be an amateur at traction without that wonderful lit tie actress. Miss Ruth Griffen. AL though it has not been announced that she will take part everyone has decided that she must be whether or not she will remains to be seen. Dame Rumor has shown a decided fondness for A. R. Cater and it would not be at all surprising if his name appeared on the program. Judge Kent may neglect law for a time to accept a political office. And furth ermore says some one to some one else there is a part that seems suit ed to good looking young Arthur Hahn and he certainly would be an attractive addition to any cast"

The shops of the city will wear their new spring garments in honor of the Fashion Show and all Phoenix will be in attendance.

be built with reference to possible
opponents; and so long as England
has an imperial colony as next-door
neighbor to the United States, it is
not to be believed that a clash is
possible. But there are other pos
sible opponents; there are two
oceans to defend; there. are the les
sons of this war, teaching us how
vital maritime supremacy is bound
to be in modern war. The United
States has the wealth with which to
command the resources Of the world,
as the allies are doing. But the
wealth alone will not insure the abil-
ity to utilize that wealth. when war
shall come, unless the highways Of
the sea are secured. That is why
America needs a navy amply power
full to insure it's superiority against
any naval force that it may have to

HELPING GEORGIA AVENUE

The District Commissioners have
included in their estimates a pro-
posal that the underground trolley
be substituted for the overhead sys-
tenn on Georgia avenue. 1t is a
change that has been inevitable for
a long time, and one that should be
made without further delay. The
wonderful development of the sec
tion tributary to this line demands
the improvement; and beyond that,
Brightwood is entitled to a measure
of special consideration because it
has such an effective way of looking
after it's own interests. Any section
of the town that keeps cup and COM
ing" after the Brightwood fashion
ought to get substantial recognition,
because it will be inspiration to
other sections to go and try like
wise.
But there is more than such a SEN
timental reason for demanding this
betterment at Brightwood. 1t is
become one Of the finest of the
newer sections of the town, and its
growth and character make the
case complete in favor of the i'm
provement.

A TWO.BILLION BAL lance

With the September balance of
trade oSicially announced at Sl46,-
34o,9l9 we now know exactly what
the balance has been for the first
three-quarters of the calendar wear,
With exports of $2,53O, ,525,591 and
imports of $l,3O2, ,2O6, 1882, the for
elgn trade balance in our favor for
the nine months to the end of Sep
tember was no less than the stu.
pendous total of $l,22S,31s6O9,
Recently the estimated balance
for all customs districts has been
averaging in the neighborhood of
$4O,OOO,O00 a week. At this rate the
thirteen weeks in the last quarter of
the calendar year would add more
than half billion dollars to the
billion and quarter dollars of the
first nine months.
No less than a billion and three
quarters seems assured for the pres
ent calendar year; it is not impossi-
Die, 1t is even probable, that the
balance for the calendar wear of
1918 will be nearer two billions than
a billion and three-quarters!

DERN YER, COME OUT AND
FlOhTi

The front door is soundly timbered
and safely locked. The small boy
stands in the parlor, looks through
the window to the streets, valiantly
sticks his tongue out at the boy
with the clenched fist on the side
walk, and says, "Dern yer, come
out and fght!"
How falls it that Americans in
awarding to the British the palm for
imperviousness to the pr;ckinC point
Of wit have managed to overlook
the Teutonic cousin? The plate of
British receptiveness to humor's
flashing message is delicately scnsi-
tive when compared to that of Kul-
tur's propagandists who today,
standing on the decks of scquestcred
ships, look out over tho protecting
mine fields and the beetling batter
les of Helgoland and send forth the
challenge to the free roaming Brit
ish sailorman, "Dern yer, come out
and fght!"
Wars humors usually are grim,
but this last double-leaded, triple
columned tale of defiance which
comes cabling and hurtling out from
the safe recesses where the German
Dreadnaughts and the German Do
nots at anchor lie, is as rollicking a
thing as wits recital ever gave to
humor-loving eye or ear.
The sole sad thing about this
story from the Teutonics' clustered
fleet is that it's writer takes it so
ALFRED seriously and has such a
child's faith that the world will be
serious with him.

CYPRUS: THE GEOGRAPHY
LESSON

Mt. Olympus, seat of the gods of
old Greece, may become Greek once
more. England has proposed that
the island of Cyprus shall be turned
over to Greece, if Greece will join
the allies. 1t is difficult, unless we
keep in thought that Greece is pro-
foundly inspired by ambition for a
return of its ancient glories, to real
izc how much this means to Greece.
We may not be too certain which
mountain ir this rocky isle is the
one that the Greeks called Olympus ;
but we have reason to believe it was
a certain one, not more than half
as great in altitude as the most dis
tinguishcd peaks of the island.
If one were seeking out the
birthplace of Occidental civilization,
the region where new view of life,
a new attitude toward its problems,
a new wish for freedom from the re-
strictions of ancient Orientalism,
had it's beginnings, he would require
to give long and earnest study to
Cyprus. It's very name comes from
the fact that in oden times it was
the worlds chief source of copper.
Having copper, it's people learned
the mctallurgic arts. 1t produced
also many precious stones, highly
priced in that day. Its lands were
fertile where they were not hope
lessly uninviting because of their
mountainous character. And they
are still, much as they were four
thousand years ago.
Cyprus is the third largest island

NAVAL POWER IN THE WAR

Winston Churchill, speaking in
London, declared that the war
would at length be decided by the
predominating sea power of Great
Britain. 1t is probable that he is
correct. The allies must depend
seemingly on the development of a
superior economic position if they
are to win. They must wear out
their enemies by dint of being able
to mobilize greater share of the
resources of the earth on their side.
That they have the chance to do bv
reason of their control of the seas.
1t means a long and fearfully de-
structive war; war in which both
men and treasure must he exhausted
by the long processes of attrition.
Assuming that both masses are of
like quality, the greater mass is
bound to win in that process simply
because it will have something left
over when the smaller is worn
away.
1t is cold and heartless view of
war, this twentieth century theory
that the survivors will at length
represent the number by which the
greater force preponderates over
the less; yet all the developments of
this struggle suggest that it is cor
rect in present conditions. The one
guarantee on the side of the allies is
the cementing force of their super
ior naval power, which holds to,
gether the resources Of the whole
world, which unifes the producing
capabilities of the British empire
the French colonial possessions, of
Japan and America, and makes
them serve the forces that control
the seas.
All this being so obvious, it is at
least curious that in England there
should have been some expressions
Of wonderment at the ambitious
naval program that the United
States is about undertaking. There
