One of the larger social functions
of the season last evening was the
annual recital by the piano pupils of
Mrs. w. E. Cox, held in the ballroom

guests were Mesdames Embury, Rock

The ushers of the evening were
Messrs. Jacobson, Wilson, Hobby, Til
ton and Andrews.
1t may we'll be said the work of the
teacher was manifested in her pupils
by the rendition of the numbers
showing marked rhythm and expression
from the youngest to the older, as
voiced by the large crowd in attend
ance.
The opening and middle numbers
"March Triomphale" and overture to
"Tancredi," for 2 pianos, was especi-
ally worthy of mention, as were many
of the solos, duets and trios.
Mrs. Swings vocal selections were

was never lighter and more brilliant

Petrograd, June 8.-An official
statement announces that the Russians
have rallied in southeast Galicia,
strengthened their lines, and severely
repulsed the Teutonic allies. Between
Kolomea and Nadvorna the Austrians
fled, abandoning 5000 dead. Seven
hundred men and 20 officers surren-

1t is admitted that Won Linsingsen's

What War Moves Mean.
(By J. W. T. Mason)
(Former European Manager of the
United Press)

Former European Manager of the
United Press)
New York. June 5.-Ten months
after the outbreak of war the Brit
ish government is still pleading with
the Workingmen to increase the out
put Of war munitions. 1t is disquet-
ing for the Allies that orations rath-
err than organization must be used.
Lloyd Georges Manchester speech was
his first public utterance in regard
to munitions since the formation OF
the new ministry. Instead of an
pouncing what is to be done by the
most important departments, he con-
tented himself by repeating the old
cry:
wake up, England"
For 8 months the members of the
government who have been pleading
with workingmen to show patriotism
are still talking.
The conclusion is inevitable that the
government is afraid to bring pres
sure to bear on the workingmen to
compel work in the factories, to as
sumo wartime discipline. 1t is pub
lished in England that Minister of Mu
nitions-Lloyd George was Kissed on a
recent visit to Portsmouth with the
king, because he criticised the work
ingmen for thinking more of drinl;
than Of duty to England.
1t also leaked out that labor lead
ers, when asked what would happen
if martial law was proclaimed in mu-
milton factories, expressed their be-
lief that a grave domestic crisis would
result. Great Britain is now facing
the bitter fact that long years of low
standard of living have made working
men Indifferent except to their own
immediate welfare.
The true Interpretation of Lloyd
Georges speech is that the govern
ment does not yet feel competent to
do more than plead for voluntary re-
form among the workingmen.
The time when industrial conscrip
tion can safely be adopted has not yet
arrived. The most momentous ques-
tion for England is whether Lloyd

JULY 4 PLANS
ARE PROGRESSING

| Further plans for an elaborate pro-
gram July a materialized yesterday,
when Captain Arnold dof Calexico as
sented to a representation of the Unit
ed States army in the parade, and the
promise of Colonel Estaban Cantu,
governor of Baja California, who has
signalized his intention of being pres
ent at the celebration.
To what extent the army will par
ticipate in the parade was not learned,
but Captain Arnold said yesterday d
good presentation would be en-
tered in the celebration.
Colonel Cantu accorded the visiting
firemen the utmost courtesy and as
sured them he would be present. 1t
is probable that the MeXicali band
will accompany him, as will his staff.
He was planning trip to Ensenada,
he told the firemen, but because of
the formal invitation issued by Mayor
Swanson and presented to him by
the visiting committee, he assured his
visitors he would leave earlier than
he had formerly antici' ed in order
to return in time to be present at the
celebration here.
hTe firemen are optimistic over the
successful outcome of all the plans
which have been inaugurated thus far
and present indications point to a
program that will eclipse any celebra-
ton that has ever been held in the
county.

ANU Sc NJ EN- S
BIJOU STOCK COMPANY
rs COMPOSED OF ACTORS

Though hampered by unusually try
ing circumstances, the Bijou Stock
Company, under the direction Of Arthur
Berthclc;, opened its summer season
last night with A performance of "a
Mans World" that demonstrated. at
least, the fact that the company is
composed almost entirely of actors In
deed, while II would he futile TO base
final estimate of any company upon
its opening performance-no matter
what the play--it would seem. even
from last nights single representation
OF Mrs. Crothers's play. that Mr.. Rer-
thelet has assembled one of the most
competent stock companies. If not the
most competent, that Richmond has
known in number of years.
In conveying this impression the
company had not the slightest assist
ance from the audience; on the
contrary, it worked. struggled and
achieved. in spite of the audience. Not
that the audience was unkindly: far
from il. AS each of the men and women
known to Richmond entered, the show
stopped while the house clamored. and
the new members of the company. too,
were heartily received. But "A Mans
World" seemed to go sailing from the
stage straight out through the front
doors of the theatcr. Some of the
strong" moments of the play had their
effect. and all the comedy was uproar-
ouSly greeted, but everything in the
least subtle, everything that wasn't
quite obvious. was greeted with gig
giles when it wasn't met with outlaws.
This isn't intended for criticism of the
audience; 1t is merely straight report
ing.
AS the theme of the play is a wo-
mans revolt against the double stand
ard--it is made plain to her in many
ways that this is mans world, from
that point of view-and a the impell-
ing motive for her revolt is disclosed
quite plainly, there is much strong
meat in the story and in the dialogue,
Yet there is nothing suggestive, moth

ever is suggested is openly said. and 1t
is made very clear that the wages OF
sin is-unhappiness. AS matter of
fact, the weakness OF the play lies in

the moral-with an artificial anticli-
