special exhibition was given all tc

special exhibition was given all to himself. He did not see anything wrong in the film, and the defendant then alleged that the performance for he did not see the same film. This suggestion was secuted out of court and the defendant was fined and has served notice of appeal.
 It is. however, the revues which have provoked most agitation. They run at several theatres, including the principal ones and have almost ban ished the legitimate drama from the Dublin stage. The costumes are often very scanty and the songs and busi- of the decent. Lately in the news puapers vigorous protests were made by individuals. The manager of one of the leading houses expressed his willingness to remove everything con- sidered objectionable, and incidentally revealed the fact that the first per- formance in each week was in the na- ture of trial trip. If the, public on which it was tried stood it without protest it went on all the week. This has been remedied and the trial trip takes place in camera before a man. agement committee, who will be re- sponsible for seeing that even a first night audience is properly protected.
 Archbishop Walsh in declaring his satisfaction at this improved arrange ment called attention publicly to what is even a greater scandal, because more widespread, and that is the posters on the walls advertising these revues. They have been often exceed ingly free and there seems to be no au- thoEity charged with the duty of con- trolling them. Altogether public reel ing is a good deal aroused in Dublin on these questions. Jack Johnson, who appeared as the producer of a revue, no worse than many others, experi- enced its effect on the first night of his performance and the audience in- sisted on the removal of it's objec- tionable features. He did not resent this in the least, but mildly thanked his patrons for letting him know their views so promptly and unmistakably.

Some genius for figures, with plenty of time at his disposal, has estimated that the German soldiers who have had to bear the burden of trench dig ging since the beginning of the war have excavated a quantity of earth which in cubic feet is equivalent to the Great Wall of China He arrives way:
 The Great Wall is 2,450 kilometers long. 16.5 meters high, 8 meters wide at the bottom and meters wide at the top. The German lines in April ex- tended $50 kilometers in the west and about 1900 kilometers in the east. Be- hind these foremost lines, however, extend secondary, and in most cases third or fourth lines, all connected up

MORALITY OF DURLIN,s
 AMUSEMENT HOUSES
Only Way of Furnishing Impropriety
 Is by Police Court Prosecution, 1.

Durlin, Ireland, Nov. 19.-Dublin is at present greatly exercised about the morality of its theatres, music halls and moving picture shows. There is no censor in Ireland, and the only way of punishing impropriety on the stage is by police court prosecution
 No such prosecution has been insti- tuted and the only occasions when the police court discusses the matter is when a member of the audience is prosecuted for disturbing the per- formance by expressing disapproval.
 One such case has just occurred Where a man was brought before the magistrate for protesting at the ex- hibition of a film called The New Magdalen.. The evidence of some in- huential citizens was given as to its objectionable character, balanced by ths<3 evidence of other members of tne audience, including some ladies that it was not right. The magistrate thought it would require Solomon to decide between the witnesses and determined to be his own witness. A

only were received in time for ship ment, the remaining three boxes ar irving a oay or two late. As there would not be another Austrian ship ment for some time, and there were no facilities at the warehouse for keep ing this serum cold in warm weather to preserve its efficiency, the Red Cross agent telephoned to the Austrian Con- sulate asking if it could find some means of sending over these addi- tional three boxes. The consulate
 through the courtesy of Mrs. Hurd and MT. Wedl, were able to make arrange ments for the shipment. The steamer was to sail on the 1st of June, early
 in the morning. The 31st of May was a holiday, and our agent requested that these boxes be taken by the consulate on Saturday, as the warehouse would not be open on Sunday and Monday and there would not be time Tuesday morning, June 1st, to get the boxes from Brooklyn to Hoboken. It was therefore in compliance with the re- quest of the agent of the Red Cross
