POLPS.
"As . Man Thinks"

: The offering of the Poll Players for
this week, "As a Man Thinks" prom
ises to be one of the biggest successes
produced by that popular organization
this season. The characters in this
modern play by Augustus Thomas,
which was seen in Washington the
first time last year at the BeIasco. are
happily cast and the new accessions
to the Poll Company made a strong
place for themselves in the hearts of
the regular Monday opening perform
ance-goers Miss Violette Kimball
made her debut in the role of Mrs.
Clayton. about whose desire to prove a
single moral of standards for men and
women. when she compromises herself
with an old lover, brings the chief ac-
tion into the play. Miss Kimball gave
a well-defined Interpretation of the
jealous and reVengeful wife and was
sympathetic in the scene when remorse
had overtaken her. Joseph Sweeney,
also a new addition to the Poll Com
pany. played the Jewish lover, Benja-
min DeLota, with a good appreciation
of the part. Robert Lowe was spIen-
didly cast as the Jewish physician
whose philosophy sets the Gentiles
Alright, and Helen Tracy. as his wife,
as usual gave the pleasing and satis-
factory Interpretation of whatever is
cast her. Joseph Cusack, for whose
seriousness the Poll audiences have no
respect, never forgetting his many
comedy parts. played the part of the
rogue husband, Frank Clayton. splen-
didly despite the handicap of filters
from the front. Jerome Kennedy was
well cast as Judge Hoover; Pearl Ford
was pretty and convincing as Veedah
Seelig: Allan Mathes played Julian
Burrill well, and thus increased his
popularity with the regulars" Rose
Macdonald, as Miss Doane. Frank
Crow as Sutton. Daniel Hanlon as Hol-
land. and Master Joseph Eaton as Dick
all added good acting to the interesting
play. '!As a Man Thinks" will run
matinees and evening performances for
the remainder of the week.

One shudders to think of the answer.
Accurate figures are not available. but
1t is likely that Russia at the begin

many heavy guns and fifty times as
much ammunition as the United States
Possesses today. Industrially. this
country is immeasurably superior to
the empire of the car, and could turn
TO the manufacture of artillery in much
more efficient fashion. But does any
one imagine that an enemy would be
obllging enough to wait until our foun-

supplies We failed to accumulate in
days of peace?

FIGHTING QUALITIES.
National Traits in the Battling
Armies of Europe.

From the BOSTON Transcript
I'm war men are nothing: man is
everything" is Napoleonic maxim 10
which we cannot give the acquiescence
that may have been its due before the
era of nations in arms. The armies or
today are so immense, extend even IN
the most compact formations over such
great areas, that it is Impossible Tor
one commander to act save through the
most general instructions. He must
leave much more to the discretion of
subordinates than did his predecessor
of even a generation ago In turn, the
subordinateS delegate a great deal TO
their interiors. and. lastly. the de-
pendence is on the men IN the RANKS.
This is not saying that leadership and
example are not important factors.
They are still great factors. but with
men in nations" the perception by the
mass of the design and purpose of an
order is a capabilit every commander
must appreciate. Hence, fighting quail
tiles count today, as they have always
done, and they are exercised under cir
cumstances very different from those
governing the warfare of 100 years
ago. The modern soldier must think
as he fights or he will fight to very
little purpose.
SO far as this war has progressed it
has revealed only such changes in the
fighting qualities of the belligerent ma
lions as the progress of education
might be expected to bring about. The
basic traits of national character have
been polished for the performance. The
German soldiers of today, like the Ger
