HE most impressive and remarkable pro.
test against the needlessness, the bru.
tally and the wanton wsstefulness
OF war was voiced recently in New York by the
world famous theatrical organization known
as The Lambs 1.-THE Lambs is q UNIQUE
club, Of which the foremost actors in America
are members. Each year they give what they
call "Gambol." At their Gambols The
Lambs always hit the keynote of the moment.
1t was to be expected, therefore, that this
year, with It's cloud of slaughter hanging over
the whole world, something remarkable in the
way Of war play would be produced. In
George " Hobarts extraordinary allegory
which he called "Why?" this note was struck,
"Why?" is really a morality play The
drama has its root in morality plays.
This form still retains its direct appeal to
the human heart, and in it Hobart found his

ture Of the underlying causes, the development
and the futile end Of war. In "Why7" mo.
tiyes, principles and all tho other abstract fae-
tors Of life arc personiaed by actual men and
women.
This remarkable play, which moved thou.
sands who saw it and which Is really the pro-
test OF the theatrical profession Of America
Performances given by ''The Lambs" DO seen
BY comparatively limited number Of people.
It probably will be produced in amplifed form
during the Winter. In the meantime, not
wishing the lesson to be lost, this newspaper
is enabled to print some pictures of the more
remarkable scenes, pictures never before
shown, and through the courtesy Of Mr.. No.
bart is able to present the powerful allegory In

world, charts and co1ored pictures
illustrating history, minerals and ores,
and charts illustrating geography,
astronomy, and physiology. The
museum reports show that in point of
popularity the pictorial charts and the
display of mounted birds come first.
Material for clothing and the exhibit
on food products come next in order
of demand. The travelling museum or
ST. Louis has 1000 individual and
duplicate collections; 1000 lantern
slides; 5000 stereoscopic views, and
1000 colored charts and photographs,
The school authorities make a point
of the fact that there is nothing in the
travelling museum which can not be
used in direct connection with the
work of the schools. 1t contains no
curiosities nor abnormalit1es, no
freaks of nature. The main purpose
of the museum is to bring facts home
to pupils as realistically as possible,
and it has been so successful, and
such a valuable adjunct to st. Louis
educational facilities, taht other cities
might well adopt the plan.

WAR GOALS AND DEEDS.

With the uncovering of her plans
to make another major and desperate
effort to reach Dunkirk and Calais, it
is apparent that Germany has not yet
shelved her pet desire to invade Eng
land. So far, however, the European
war has been a struggle in which
none of the goals of any of the partic-
ipants has been reached. At its begin
ming, Germany figured on overwhelm-
ing France and taking possession of
Paris before the French got their eyes
open to what was going on. She got
close, but a miss is as good as a mile
in war as in everything else, for the
other fellow. The British navy
sounded the tom toms and declared
that it would proceed to dig the Ger
man fleet out of it's base like a rat is
dug from hole. Russia was going to
make merry in Berlin on Christmas
day. Austria intended to wipe Servia
off the map. Nothing was going to
stop General Won Hindenberg from
marching his forces into Warsaw.
The allied fleet announced it would
sail through the Dardanelles and call
at Constantinople on Easter Sunday.
France was certain that she would
occupy all of the Alsace-Lorraine ter
ritory long ago; and so on and so
forth. And unless there is an absolute
failure of ammunition and supplies on
one side or the other, it would appear
that the early history of the war in
this respect will be repeated during
the spring, summer and fall fighting.
Germany it would seem reasonable
to urge, is just as near to an invasion
of England as she will ever get.

A MUSEUM ON WHEELS.

A travelling museum that goes to
the public schools with illustrative
material at the time it is needed is
successfully used by the ST. Louis, Mo-.
schools, according to a bulletin issued
by the United States bureau of educa-
ton. 1t was the exposition of 1904
that first gave St. Louis the oppor-
tunity to extend to its schools the edu-
cational advantages of a great mu-
scum. After the fair had closed a
number of the exhibitors donated
parts of their displays to the public
schools, and in this way the nucleus
of an educational musem was obtain
ed. When the material for the mu-
scum had been grouped, the question
of using it most profitably had to be
settled. AS it was found impracticab1e
to supply every one of the hundred
public schools of the city with a
separate museum, it was decided that
there should be one museum for all
the schools and that by means of an
automobile truck the museum ma
terial should be sent to the various
schools. The museum is arranged in
close connection with the course of
study followed in the schools. Among
the groups of exhibits are: Food
products, material for clothing,
mounted animals. the life and occu-
pations of different peoples of the
