CRITICISES U. S. POTTERS.
Rcddeld Says They Have Little
knowledge Of Production Cost

Secretary of Commerce Redfeld has
made public the result of the investi-
cation started by him into the pottery
industry during the consideration in
Congress of the present tariff act, and
il is likely to stir up American potters
considerably. The summary of the re-
port says that the potters of the
United States are without adequate
knowledge OF the costs of production
of their own industry"
The investigation was undertaken
by Secretary Redfield as the result of
an announcement made by the United
States Potters' Association of a prob
able reduction in wages as the result
of profits being cut into resulting from
tariff reduction, the claim being
made that profits already were very
small as the result of foreign compe
tition.
The report says the imports for the
twelve months under the operation of
the Underwood Simmons act We're $50
per cent greater for the preceding
twelve months under the previous
tariff act, and the amount of duties
collected was IL per cent less than for
the preceding twelve months under
the old tariff law.

lecture will be on the Rhine, the most
romantic river in Europe and the most
beautiful. From the heart of the Swiss
Alps to the North Sea it flows, 500
miles through lands that have been
historic for thirty centuries. No one
who has once floated on its waters
can ever shake off the spell. for earth
possesses no more interesting river.

AT the Theaters Next Week.
NattOnal-Mrs. Patrick Campbell II
"PygmaliOn."

fySmQI1On.
Mrs. Patrick Campbell returns to
washington next week in G. Bernard
,Shaw's latest play. "Pygmalion." which
VIII be presented at the National Theater.
In ''Pygmalion" Mr. Shaw again estab-
fishes his contempt for the British sIb-
ject. of which he is a distinguished ex-
ample. The story of "Pygmalion" is
practically five acts of what Mr.. Shaw
calls "A Romance" 1t is written to
prove that the English language as
spoken in the cutters of London and IN
the drwaing-rooms is a grave subject of
Importance. The author proves that a
cockney girl with all her "yowling'' OF
accents can, after being properly trained
in phonetic form of English words. pass
for a duchess in a fashionable drawing
room. This phase of "Pygmalion'' is
strictly Shavian.
The success of "Pygmalion'' in London
was due to the comedy rather than the
satire OF the new play. But Mr.. Shaws
real purpose of amusement in playwrit-
ing has been to exhibit the brutality OF
the British subject. and "Pygmalion'
has again accomplished this. but with
brilliancy of comic conception that is
said to surpass anything he has CON
ributed in previous plays. with perhaps
exception of You Never Can Tell"

Leon Rains is a New York opera
singer who got his start in this coun-
try, and has since had some success
in Germany. Many years If German
association have weaned him, too,
from his native loyalty.
Both OF these gentlemen nave drawn
upon themselves fitting penalty for
their disloyalty Their citizenship
rights are not taken away; that pen
atty could only be inflicted for down
right treason. They have merely for
feited such official protection of their
government as is conferred by a pass
port As a result Of their violent mis-
representation Of their own country in
quarters where such ISLANDERS are par
ticulariy injurious TO Americas good
name, they are merely cast adrft in
the war zone without credentials. II
the kaiser chooses to draft them into
his army-which of course he isn't
likely to do-there is nothing to pre-
vent. As matter of fact, if these
renegade Americans had the courage
of their convictions, they would enter
the trenches of their own accord, in
stead OF doing their fighting at ease,
under the protection of their despised
citizenship.
Their real punishment is the con
tempt of the American people. They
may soon come to recognize that il is
they themselves. and not their fellow
citizens at home, who are disgraced.
And all expatriated Americans who
have lost touch with their country's
ideals, and use their citizenship only
TO sharpen the edge of their SANDER.
