POLI'S.

The sweet girl graduate. SO long cele-
brated In song and story. has at last
been dramatized by Margaret Mayo. the
result Of the initial effort in this direc-
ton being commencement Days"
which the Poll Players present this week
for the first time in Washington.
The atmosphere of the girls school,
with Its mixtures Of classics and fudge
and athletics and romance. is attained
by the Poll forces in the best sort of
fashion. assisted by rather unusual
number Of pretty girls called in for this
particular play, .s'.
The story deals with the ambitions Of
Kate Wells. president of her class, and
the most popular girl in college. who
desires to write great things and make
her own way before she permits Billy
Douglas to marry her. That marriage
Is really her portion is impressed upon
her by the difficulties In which she be-
comes involved through the theft Of
some class funds left to her care.
There is a large mixture Of comedy in
the drama through the tangled love af-
1alrs OF pair Of twins. the militancy
or an athletic young woman and the
sclentihc bent of another student who
has other reasons than love for biology
There are more speaking parts in
commencement Days" than in any
play that has been presented at Polls
for months. Miss Gilbert plays the
part OF Kate with charm that
realizes all the nice things poets say
ABOUT sweet girl graduates. Mr.. Ros-
coe as Billy Is college youth in ap-
pearance and manner and helped
carry some of the play comedy as well
as Its drama. Miss Dale as the
harrassed daughter of wealthy father
she spends has the most serious part
In the play. aside from that of her
brother Frank, played by Russell
Fillmore.
Rose Macdonald. the captain Of the
basketball team and a dominant. mill
tant figure m college affairs, realized
the possibilities of her part and gave
q wholesome. virile Characterization.
Mabel Kip returned to the company in
the part of one of the twins-the one
who Isn't In love but likes to accept
pure mischief. Pearl Eaton was the
other twin. a sweetly simple maiden
very much smitten with the charms of
athletic Brick Harding, played in ex-
cellent style by Louis Haynes.
Ruby Raymond had the part of the
scientific maid who succeeds in captur-
ing the professor OF biology, played by
Robert Lowe. Gavin Harris played the
part of the wealthy parent and Dorothy
Margaret McCambridge and Cecil Bow.

BRITISH DISAPPOINTMENT

BY way of Paris comes word that
British commanders returning from
the front report that the great Of
fensive dated for May, of this year,
has been postponed until next spring
because 1t is not believed possible
for the new ministry of munitions
to supply arms and ammunition in
sufficient quantities before that time.
England has close to three-quar-
ters of million men under arms in
France. With these she is holding
with quite apparent difficulty a bat
tie line not to exceed thirty miles
in extent. France with four hun
dred miles Of front is accomplishing
nothing In the way of an advance
while suffering loss of men that,
unless given support before next
spring, means tremendous reduc-
tion of physical resources.
Will France be willing to wait the
time and inclination of England?
Will Russia protest against a lack
Of English activity which might
have kept German forces too busy
elsewhere to have allowed of the
thrust in Galicia? Is there the pos
sibility Of such dissension among the
allies as will weaken their agree
ments to the breaking point and per-
haps pave the way to a separate
settlement with Germany?
The question Of the inefficiency
of the high command in the British
forces was raised first by British
lips, but it has spread to allied
tongues. 1t is much the same sit
uation as prevailed in 1862 when
the commander Of the superb army
Of the Potomac could not make UP
his mind to use 1t. There was the
advantage with the North in those
days, however, that the men Of Nc
Clellan and Burnside and Hooker
and Meade were all of one country,
all Of one tongue, and all of one pur-
pose. The attitudes Of France, of
Russia, of Italy except it be united
ly anti-German must vary in many
details. Will they be willing to
await with patience the postponed
activities of Great Britain?

Philippine Lumber Trade
Threatens u. S. Industry

Commercial Agent Franklin II. Smith
In a report to the Department of Com
merce based on an investigation OF
Philippine markets for American lunl-
Der saws there is an increasing cut OF
Philippine woods. which each year will
be larger. He believes that the prospec-

Islands is not encouraging. The Philip
pines provided a market for more than
$j00.0O0 worth of forest products IN the

A GLORIOUS FOURTH

Washington's Fourth of July was
a bloodless one. Only three acci-
dents, and those Of most minor
character, were recorded. 1t was a
Fourth to be proud of from all
standpoints. The day was ideal as
to weather conditions, the patriotic
exercises were interesting and in
spring, the field day at Brightwood
a tremendous success both in attend
mce and events, and the evenings
fireworks displays most elaborate.
Altogether it was GLORIOUS

On another page the ordinary

others-"Killed in Action" and
"Died of Wounds" heads under
which there are always notices.

BALKANS WATCHING AMERICA
Germany Considers Effect Of Possible
Rupture With United States Upon
Smaller European Nations.

Washington, Aug. 26.-In Official
speculation al to the real significance
Of the German note regarding the Ara
bic disaster, there was a large ele-
ment Of optimism. 1t was felt that
Germany is convinced Of the folly OF
risking actual trouble with the United
States and that the disavowal regard
ed as necessary to prevent a rupture
will be forthcoming. One big factor
believed to have been considered by
Germany in adopting her new policy
toward the United States is the pos
sible effect of rupture with the Unit
cd States upon the attitude of the
Balkan states.
Many diplomats believe that the en-
trance of the United States into tho
lineup against Germany would be tho
only force necessary to throw the Bal
kan alliance on the side of the allies,
thus completing the alliance Of all Of
the principal civilized powers save
China and the Scandinavian countries
against Germany.

public opinion. The foreign Office,
however, is evidently fully aware of
