A Gambol That's a Charity.

The Lambs Gambol is always a theatre
cal event that's well worth whatever the
tickets cost This year its to be more, for
the proceeds are to 20 TO the Actors Fund
IA charity that, quietly and unostenta-
tiously, does q splendid work in helping
unfortunate members of that profession
and relieving distress which owing to the
peculiar needs and conditions of the craft
is especially difficult to minister TO-
There are to be three performances Of
the Gambol at the Century Theatre on
June i and 3, tickets for which will be
sold by auction on May p, at the Hudson
Theatre. 1t should hardly be necessary to
urge the public to buy and bid high. Who
ever buys will get his moneys worth in
dramatic entertanment-that is assured
by the records Of other Gambols in other
wears. He will also obtain the satisfac-
ton of knowing that the money has gone
to help those who need help in a class in
the community which, year in and year
out, gives largely to help others Actors
are proverbially generous. They give not
only cash when they have it to spare, but,
more, they can always he counted on to
give themselves. Their services, from the
most-featured stars to the humblest mem
bers Of the cast, can always be obtained
for any worthy enterprise.
As Daniel Frohman said the other day,
this is chance for the public to show
its appreciation Of this attitude by sup
porting in its turn the actors own par
ticular charity. It's a splendid opportu-
nifty for reciprocity.

Of this kind, which will most assuredly re-

a Prophet Coming to His Own.

Secretary Garrison is about the only man
in President Wilson's circle of advisers
who can face with l. clear conscience the
results Of our pitiful policy Of military
unpreparedness. His is the only voice
that has been raised in administration
councils in behalf of an adequate develop
ment Of our military resources.
lie had the courage to say as long ago
as last December, when there were no war
clouds on our horizon, that our scheme of
national defence was a mere piece of
window-drcssing,a hollow sham maintained
for purposes of comfortable self-decep-
ton. While President Wilson was talking
about relying. as in the good old frontier
days. on "a citizenry trained and accus-
toned to arms; while Secretary Daniels
was lodging the recommendations Of the
General Board Of the Navy and trying to
hold authorizations and increases in the
fleets efficiency down to a minimum, Mr.
Garrison was buutly telling the country
that the first lire of the army was utterly
unable 10 protect our coasts, and that any
enemy strong enough 10 make a landing
could take possession Of one or more of
our seaboard cities before our unframed
reserves could be organized and put
in the field.
The Secretary Of War laid before Con-
gress plans for moderate increase of the
regular army and the creation of real
reserve to replace our present burlesque
reserve Of sixteen men. Congress paid no
attention 10 his suggestions. 1t was en-
couraged 90 do so by the Presidents in
difference 10 the arny's needs. But now

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Several months ago Professor Kuno
Francke wrote commendable letter in order
to dissuade the so-called German-Americans
from the fatuous task of organizing a dis
tinct political party in the United States.
In this communication the German profess
sor incidentally took pains as has often been
done by other representative Kulturists, TO
depore the fact that England and France
had formed an unnatural" alliance with
Russia.
1t seemed quite incomprchensible to me
that these gentlemen did not regard as IN
natural also the alliance between Germany
and Turkey-the determination of a civilized
Christian nation with semi barbarous Ma

Uplift for the Grocery Clerk.

Henceforth fiction for the young, if it
purport to be realistic, will not portray
a boy hero who comes to the great me-
tropolis, gets a job at 81 a week in
a grocery store, sleeps under the counter
after twelve hours work, but event
ually rises to great wealth and happiness
as president of a breakfast food trust
Grocery clerks unions have put a stop to
some of these favorte tctional-and
fact-cOnditions. A bill just signed by
Governor Whitman will stop most of the
rest Of them. This measure provides that
10 grocery clerk in a first class city shall
be permitted TO work more than seventy
hours a week, or eleven hours a day, save
that on the last day of the weel, he may
work fifteen hours TO eliminate work on
the first day of the week. He shall not
be required TO work seven days a week
No proprietor shall permit clerk to
sleep in any room or apartment connected
with his store which does not comply with
the sanitary regulations of the local health
board.
This by no means approXimates the
ffty-four hours a week law in its benefits
for the overworked grocery clerks, but it
does represent a considerable improvement
in working conditions over what many Of
them now have. Without depriving the
youth of fctional stature of any oppor-
tuntv to rise in the world, it provides a
certain measure Of social justice for the
ordinary individual which unfortunately
has been lacking hitherto in many small
stores with one or two employees. Under
the new conditions the public and the
EMPLOYERS are likely TO get along just as
well as before. and the clerks and delivery
men little better.

Horseracing Back Again.

t seems rather like old times, welcom-
ING the racing season. And more like old
times this year than any other year since
the enactment of the -bookmaking
laws. For this year the war has greatly
restricted racing abroad and forced sports
men TO make the most of the New York
meetings. And the war has also empha-
sized the value of the thoroughbred.
There are, indeed, several good reasons
for believing that horseracing the sport
Of kings land every citizen is sovereign
is about to enjoy moderate revival with
us. The quality Of this years thorough
breds seems greatly improved over that
Of last year, though naturally somewhat
below that of the halcyon days Of the
Percy-Gray law. Oral betting has estab-
lished itself as a restricted exercise of the
ineradicable gambling instinct. And the
governors Of the Jockey Club, instead Of
mourning the old days. never TO return,
are actively seeking TO popularize the
sport under the new conditions.
That was a clever innovation Of theirs.
to introduce dancing between races at the
Belmont track clubhouse. Terpsichore,
having recently bathed in the fount Of
eternal youth, has a way Of imparting
reiuvenation to all other forms Of pleasure
with which she becomes associated. But
wiser decision is involved in the edict
against wholesale clocking at the tracks
in the early morning. This will discourage
the professional Spectator and plunger,
prevent fragrant fraud and give the pub
lie better chance TO pick winners. Moth
ing Will recommend horseracing more
quickly to a pleasure-loving but entirely
sophisticated populace than the knowledge
that it has set about purging itself Of the
crookedness which permeated it under
the old regime.
If it fulfls its promise in this and other
directions there should be every DISPOSE
ton 70 wish the ancient sport new lease
of life. Let those who find no pleasure
in it reflect that without any doubt in the
world it greatly stimulates the breeding
Of good horses, something Uncle Sam
needs now and will continue TO need cruelty
to Offset the heavy drain on his supply
which the war is causing.
