rent theatrical season, will be the strik-
ing Offering OF the Foil Players this

for the stage. This ambition to be-
come an actress causes the heorine to
propose to theatrical manager that
she prove her ability by causing the
young engineer to ask her to marry
him. The scheme works admirably and
the proposal is made while the theatri-
cal manager and other guests at the
house party are eavesdropping.

been duped he plans to leave the house
party at once. The girl suggests that

studied her at his leisure. as scientists

which creates Just the proper atmo-
sphere for the full appreciation Of the
spirit of the carnival scene of the last

which lmpresario Dippel employed in

the war
Something entirely new in the line of
electrical invention Is also employed in
the scenic effects A clock-like appar-

Entente Allies To
 Arrange League For Economic Cooperation

Rome, Aug 6.-The formation of an economic league among the Enten- te Allies more or less after the pat tern of the German. Customs union. is urged by the Nuova Antologia, the leading Italian review.
 "The object to be attained" it says, ''is an international economic nobi1i- aztion of the allied states and of such neutral states as may be induced to throw their lot with the allies. The league would embrace questions of finance and public credit, of customs duties and foreign exchange, of inter national trade and of land and sea communications. Though formed during and for the war, it would need to outlast the war so as to secure economic and commercial advantages for it's members, and to penalize it's enemies. and those neutral states which had held a1oof from it.
 ''It would be, in short, an economic blockade against opponents and in faz vor of friends and allies. It would make speculation in neutrality ex- ceedingly dangerous for those who might continue to indulge in it, and would transform the speculation in neutrality into 8. speculation in inter vention', military or moral on the side of the allies
 England France, Russia, Italy, Japan, Belgium and Serbia could con- stitute a formidable commercial pha- lanx in the world, and were states to- day neutral certain of incurring it's resentment, they would think twice before sacrificing their prospects for the sake of transient gains

BRITISH PAY NO
 OFFICIAL NOTICE
 TO TRADE BALANCE
Economists Write But Gov ernment Gives Little Heed
 to Their Warnings.

London, Aug. 6-Whi1e the Aneri- can Exchange problem is being appa- rently ignored by the British Gov ernment which is content to let gold slip away in<sman quantities without
 making an effort to meet its 1ndebet- edness to the United States, much ad- vice is being given by. economists, through the medium of the press, as to the most efficacious method of dealing with the problem, which with an adverse trade balance of several hundred millions sterling grows more pressing every week.
 One writer advocates compulsory economy to reduce imports and ar gues that if the American Exchange continues against Great Britain the prices of foodstuffs and other neces- saries= will continue to rise. It may develop that there will soon be no ex- change at all as in the case of Petro- grad where there exists only a nonai nal exchange of 20 per cent. against her and gold exportation prohibited by law. Russia, however. is in the position of being self-contained so far as food stuffs are concerned. The same writer advocates bread tickets as the only method of making the bulk of the English population earn ing large and increasing weekly wages econornize, rernarAing that appeals usless in Germany, a. nation trained in docilify, will be equally in efhcacious here.'s
 Another, in strongly urging the great wage earning British public to save portion of the weekly wage, in order that the government may bor- row it later at interest says the fact must not be overlooked that while trade is supposedly good, we are not trading under ordinary circumstances, and practically all engineering firms, snipbui1ders and many Manufacturers while paying out wages and piling up profits, are really trading with the government and not adding to the wealth of the nation. 4 million pounds spent on cotton produces wealth dis tributable in many channels and also assists exports whereas the same sum spent on munitions is trading with the governrnent only.

tackled would in all proba bility suffer the ia ate of Belgium.
 These statesmen, a matter of protection for their own countries, should favor such an alliance with the United States.
 Mot only would this alliance with the United States forever assure the independence and territory of all the Pan-Americap countries from foreign aggressio on, but it would also assure permanent peace among these coun- tries themselves, which has not aI- ways been the case, and between them and the United States.
 Every Pan-American republic, no behind its national existence the combined power of the United States and all it's neighbors.
 '"This alliance would at one stroke practically double the military and naval power of the United States, even in our present miserable state of un- preparedness.
 ''The combined naval and military power of the countries of the West ern Hemisphere is strong enough to win in a war against any possible coalition of the other powers of the world.
 '',The military and naval strength of all the South and Central American republics as. according to the latest government statistics available: ATI11SS, peace 1S5,1S war strength, 1.995,732: unorganized but of military age, 5,374,O76. Navies, 99 ships, and 27,S36 men
 'tAs allies of the. United States and of themselves, the South and Central American countries could bring, in a war for the defense of any country of the Western Hemisphere, nearly 100 warship ps and 28, 900 seamen, and a military strength of more than 7,O00- .o0O men when all of service age were under arms.
 with such allies, the United States, with it's boundless wealth and resources, it's O,O0O,OOO population and it's present and potential military and naval strength. could emerge vic torious in any war against any conn bination of powers.
 The United States is not the ar bitter of it's own destiny. We have no friends in Europe. Our logical friends are nor neighbors in Pan-Arne erica, who have, as we have, a vital inter- est in maintaining the republican in- stitutions and the freedom of the western world.
 Therefore. we ought to negotiate treaties providing for these alliances as speedily as possib1e-before the end of the European war.
 4tThe new Pan-American Doctrine will be discussed at the Conference on Natinona1 Defense, and will be taken up at the next session of Con- gress by senators and representatives who believe in Pan-American soli- darity."
