Washington, d. G., Jan. 2.-President
Wilson is expected by some administra.

What People Co To the Theatre For.

IN the January Womans Home Com
panion appears thoroughly interesting
interview with Cyril Maude, the famous
English actor. In the course OF the IN
terview Dir. Maude tells in part as fol
lows what he thinks is the essential OF
a good and popular play:
"a great many young playwright
believe that a play cannot be clever ur',
less it is unpleasant. The unpleasant
play appeals only to few people who
pose as clever, as unusual. as. let US say,
advanced Others maintain that a sue
cessful play must provide thrill or
shock, one moment Of terrific pressure.
81 do not believe that a single great
moment, mighty thrill founded on
some grotesque or unnatural twist OF

the human mind can make play. The
successful play for the masses holds the
interest and amuses the audience from
curtain TO curtain.
People go to the theatre to be en-
tertained and amused, not TO await one
thrilling moment, one hideous shock,
lifted from the dissecting room, the
morgue, the police court, an asylum for
the criminal insane"

Scented an Ultimatum
from the U. S.

London, Jan. 2.-The publication in
London of the text of the American note
to the British government on the ques-
ton of unwarranted interference with
American shipping has dispelled any irri-
tation oecasioned by the incomplete SEN
fences in the first summary of the com
munication sent over from the United
States by telegraph.
There were certain Englishmen who
saw something like an ultimatum in the
extracts eabled to this country, but a
perusal of the context of these particu-
lar phrases has dispelled this concep-
ton.
The Pail Mall Gazette of yesterday
voiced the general opinion, when it
said;
Should Not "Chop Logic"

certain contentious advanced in the note
which show some failure to appreciate
the difficulties of our position; but it is

TEACHING THE IMMIGRANT

TN a report just made public by the
United States Bureau Of Education,
H. H. Wheaton, the bureaus i'm
migrant expert. emphasizes the neces-
sity of teaching the adult immigrant
how to speak English as soon as pos
sible after his arrival in this country.
The expert says that inability to
talk in the language commonly used
is the most serious barrier to inter
course and friendly relations between
Americans and the foreigners within
our shores. He points out that a large
proportion of industrial accidents are
due to the fact that foreign work
men have not understood the orders
of the American foremen.
Owing to the efforts of the Harris
burg school board. which has estab-
lished night schools for the benefit OF
the adult immigrants. and to certain
religious agencies throughout the for
eign districts here and in Steelton
many of the foreigners in this vicin-
fly are given opportunities to acquire
an understanding of the language

OUR MUNITIoN PLANTS
Bdtemdn.

EUROPEAN nations who are ac-
T. cused of casting greedy eyes up
on the apparent unguarded opul-
ence of the United States are creating
in this country the Frankenstein that
will be their undoing if ever the
temptation to grab at our riches be-
comes too strong. They are teach
ing US how to turn out guns, cannon,
ammunition and all manner of war
equip the armies of the world, and
in unbelieveably short time.
Take Bethlehem, for example, al
though there are hundreds like it on
smaller scale, not to mention some
unknown but very active manufac-
turer who is gathering parts for sub
marines all over the United States to
be assembled where the boats are to
be launched. Bethlehem Steel is now
producing as many, if not more, shells
than the combined plants of the
British isles. The Bethlehem ship
ments of shells are growing so rapid
ly as to make it impossible to give
an accurate estimate of the daily out
60 Some time ago the company was
shipping 1000 shells daily. With
increased facilities the outgo will be
easily $500 to $4,000 shells a day.
That even this output will reach much
larger proportions is evident from the
fact that the Chalmers Com
pany has contracted to machine TO-
600 shells daily for Bethlehem, be-
ginning in September. The Allis-
Chalmers has been making large ship
ments to Bethlehem, but the total
will not reach the figure stipulated in
the contract until next month Allis-
Chalmers will endeavor to increase its
production to 10000 shells daily.
This, of course, is only a small part
of the output of the plants at BethIe-
hem, where tremendous quantities of
guns, submarine and other army and
navy supplies are being manufactured.
Before the war Germany filled her ar
senals with American guns and Amer
lean shells, and Bethlehem, as the
allies found it, was the result With
the war in full swing the allies are
showing us that we can arm the
whole world and have munitions to
spare. Give us an adequate army,
coast defenses and a navy and we
shall be able to laugh in the face Of
any foreign foe that dares lift a
hand. This is by no means Spread
eagleism." It is a cold fact

A PERIL OF CIVILIZATION

a CCORDING to Dr. Earl Barnes,
~ of Philadelphia, eminent scien-
tist educator and psychologist,
two hundred thousand feeble minded
persons are now at large in America,
free to propagate their kind and to in
creasingly threaten civilization with
degeneracy.
The feeble minded peril" DR..
Barnes declares, can be materially les
sened by scientific methods of segre-
cation, which has the effect of sterili-
zation. The feeble-minded, he points
out, reproduce more rapidly than any
others and this very condition threat
ems the country with inefficiency.
Pennsylvania might, with profit,
study the Vineland, N. J., experiment.
where some hundreds such have been
segregated in an economic colony and
are living comfortably under proper
supervision. The world has not
reached the place where it will accept
the radical legislative expedient so
often proposed, but never considered
seriously.

GETS DRIER AND DRIER
(Woman,s National WeeklyO

In nearly every local option cleo
ton, no matter where held. victory is
won by the temperance forces. Occa-
sionally some community votes by a
narrow margin to remain wet, but
this is the exception. Recently the
entire province of Alberta voted out
liquor, and in several Minnesota and
Missouri towns dry victories are an
nounced. Distillers who have had
drummers in western States are gradu-
ally withdrawing them because of the
spread of the dry wave. Why don't
the brewers and distillers look facts
in the face and prepare to get into
some other business?
The liquor interests attempt to
frighten the farmer by telling him
that the liquor business keeps up the
prices of grains grown by American
farmers. The amount of grain con-
sumed by the brewers and distillers,
when compared to the total amount
consumed, is small, and the farmers
know it. We are told that If saloons
are closed the country will go to ruin.
If that be true, why is Kansas so
prosperous? Why are the dry COM
munities doing so nicely, with very
little crime of any kind. while in the
wet districts crime is rampant? It is
plainly to be seen that John Barley
corn is being driven from the United
States

TYPICAL oF BRYAN

TN the last issue of his "Commoner."
Mr.. Bryan tells his readers that
those people who look upon his
resignation from the Cabinet as a pre-
lude to a complete break with the VIII
son administration. are doomed to dis
appointment.
His assurances are evidently de-
signed to dispel anxiety at the White
House. Such might be their effect but
for the fact, well known to President
Wilson as to all the American people,
that w. ]. Bryan went to the Balti-
more convention carrying direct and
specific instructions from the people
of Nebraska to do all in his power to
secure the nomination of Champ
Clark, but at the critical moment.
after Clark had gained majority of
the delegates, Bryan violated his
obligations and betrayed his con-
stituents by turning his support to
Wilson and condemning Champ Clark
to slaughter.

his performances. President Wilson

GOOD WORK
HARRISBURG is to be made a
1 L branch office of the United States
Rureau of Foreien Trade.

HARRISBURG is to be made a
: 1 branch office of the United States
Bureau of Foreign Trade.
This was brought about by the Har-
risburg Chamber of Commerce.
There are several reasons why the
chamber is to be congratulated upon
its success in this matter. In the
first place, branches of tins bureau of
the National Department of Com
merce are not many. They are To-
Gated only in great manufacturing CEN
ters where there is manifest interest
in foreign trade and where the manu-
featuring concerns are of sufficient i'm
portance. to warrant the our.ay. The
full significance of the location OF an
office here may be judged from the
fact that the only other similar branch
in the east is in New York City. Not
even Philadelphia is so favored.
Secondly, 1t was the Harrisburg
Chamber that inaugurated the export
movement in Harrisburg. A year ago,
with the European War under way,
the attention of manufacturers was
attracted to opportunities for business
getting abroad. The Chamber of
Commerce, recognizing this sentiment
on the part of its members, called a
conference which was held in this city
and attended by prominent men from
all over the Central Pennsylvania field.
The seed sown then bore such fruit
and SO many inquiries poured into the
bureau that it has been decided to let
the Chamber act as a branch office for
the bureau at this point, insuring for
its members and all others who desire
advance information on all manner of
foreign trade possibilities.
But most important of all, this
activity of the Chamber brings to the
notice of the public that Harrisburg
and vicinity have many manufacturers
whose products find markets not only
all over the United States but which
are of nature to enter into competi-
ton with similar articles the world
over.
The Chamber has done a good work
