The story of "The Social Highway
man" is that Of Curtis Jaffray, whose
boy ideal is Claude DuVal, who stole
from the rich to give to the poor Cur
tbs was the offspring of mesalliance
which resulted in his being brought
up in such bitter poverty that his
mother, before his birth, was driven
to thievery to obtain food. When
Curtis reached the age of twelve the
parents were Mortified at the discov-
cry that he had inherited through pre-
natal influences a tendency to steal.
How in later years, when he inherited
the title ani estates of his grand
father. the fashionable stratum Of So
ciety is startled by a series of daring
thefts. his social secretary kills the
Countess Rossi. lis wife. who deserted
him in former years, and later kills
himself, declaring il MS dying words
that he committed the mystifylng
thefts, is all excellently portrayed IN
this melodrama in which is inter-
spersed one of the sweetest romances
eger filmed. 1t is a sociological play
different from the rest and one that is
bound to please. To be shown at the
Opera House, Tuesday, June 20.

a weak defense. He could not answer Mr..

ultimate failure Mr.. Churchill seems to

newspapers hoped that Winston would go
back to the front and stay there.

WINSTON CHURCHILLS RAP ON NAVY
COSTS HIM REMNANTS OF PRESTIGE
Speech in Commons He Returns From Trenches
Called His Worst Blunder"-Balfour Defends
Sea Power of Great Britain
By HENRY sUYDAM

| LONDON, March s.-wInston Church.
| Ills latest outbreak has destroyed the
remnants Of his popularity and prestige In
the British navy. His speech in the
House of Commons yesterday, in which he
attacked the efficiency OF British sea-
power. has caused the British navy to dis
avow him unanimously
The late winter had been a period Of ad.
vertisement for the British fleet Ameri-
can correspondents had been charmingly
entertained aboard British fagships.
French Journalists had consumed cham
payne and uttered specious platltudes In
North Sea wardreoms Russian authors,
brought all the way from Petrograd, had
interviewed admlrals and toasted King
and Car. Whereupon the world, in case
It had any doubt was informed that tho
British navy was efficient. The Ameri-
cans emphasized the speed of the new
British battle cruisers; the Frenchmen
described the silhouette and outline; the
Russians waxed sentimental over their
allys strength. Already supremely con-
fident in that Gordon of floating steel
which guards the United Kingdom from
invasion, the British publis was doubly
reassured. Ethel Levey went on singing
Rule, Britannia 20 with German accent,
in the musical halls. and Parliament con-
tinued its ponderous discussions of war
time economy.
Then Winston Churchill came home
from the front. He had quilted the army
as subaltern, he re-entered 1t a generation
later as a major; and he turned up on n
bench in the House of Commons on the
afternoon of March 7 as a colonel, In
top-hat white CATERS and morning
coat.
RALFOUR TELLS OF FEATS.
Arthur James Balfour, who succeeded
O., 1rlt yI,oV,
Mr.. Churchill was banshed after the
Dardanelles scandal, delivered to the
House an enlightenlng statement upon the
Introduction of the new navy estimates,
He said that the British fleet was no
longer a British fleet but an international
fleet that 100000 combatants had been
transported under its guardianship,
100000 horses, 100000 tons of army
stores and 2O,O00,OO0 gallons Of oil. The
British navy had been expanded enor-
mously since the outbreak of hostilities.
Its personnel had doubled; its tonnage
had increased by more than 100000 the
stregnth of the air service had grown
tenfold
Mr.. Balfour concluded surely he
must be of somewhat poor spirit who.
after he has measured the greatness of
the fleet which Great Pritain has at It's
disposal cannot face the future in a
spirit of cheerful serenity"
Whereupon Colonel Winston Churchill,
ex-First Sea Lord, arose and calmly told
the House of Commons that the German
navy had been terribly strengthened"
that the strategy of the Admiralty was
mistaken that the shipbuilding program
was delayed; that the intentions of the
dhemy were most formidable, and that,
should n German fleet attack the British
fleet. a part of the British fleet would
be absent refitting. He concluded by de-

previously. Lord Fisher, who was sit
ting in the Peers Gallery, smiled,
scratched his head and withdrew.
ATTACK GIVES A SENSATION.
When the evening newspapers were
rushed into the streets with screaming
scareheads, the first impression was COM
bined astonishment and stupefaction. A
Dutch telegram had announced on that
very morning that 25 German warshlps
were In the North Sea, and rumors of a
naval engagement were everywhere to be
heard. Colonel Churchlrs remarks could
not have been better timed. The confident
assurances of Mr. Balfour were unnotlced.
AT period when the Verdun battle was
Z still flercely undecided. Colonel ChurchlIs
attack upon the Admiralty furnished a
war sensation His personal appeal to
the British masses assured an attentive
audience. Winston Churchill was the first
man who dared question the efficiency Of
the British navy.
But the British public refused to be-
lieve Ill of its fleet. Beyond causing
htful questionlngs In the editorial coll
umns of the newspapers the substance
of Mr.. Churchill's remarks were soon for
gotten Hands off the British grand
fleet" became a popular cry. London
began to speculate upon the question:
Did Winston Churchill make bad politi-
cal mistake in rushing back from the
front to demand the reinstatement of Lord
Flsher2
The general opinion Is that returning
from the trenches was Winston Church.
Ills worst blunder. There is a strong
suspicion In England nowadays that the
place of n soldier, even when he happens
to be a member of Parliament, is at the
front fighting the enemy and not In Lon
don attempting to embarrass the Govern
ment.
Although Mr.. Churchill has been for
six months at the front" said one MEM
ber of Parliament to me, 'he seems to
forget that England is at war"
The trouble with Mr.. Churchll's latest
performance seems to be that II failed to
come off properly. His suggestion that
Mr. Balfour be replaced as First Sea Lord

THE FEAST OF TABERNACLEs

The Jewish feast of Tabernacles or

evening. October II, and will last for
nine days. According to the Bible the
feast lasted only seven days. In the
course of time. however, the feast was
heightened to nine days; the last two
being The Eighth Day of Solemn As

the Day of Rejoicing For the raw.
Succoth, means booths, and the name
owes its origin to the fact that on this
feast many families build festive booths
in which the holiday meals are served.
In some cases pious people will spend
all the days of the feast living in the
booth in order to give literal fulfilment
to the injunction; In booths shall ye
dwell seven days"
The frail booth built as temporary
dwelling. an imperfect shelter from the
elements, is to remind man that he is
constantly under the protection of the
Almighty. just as the fathers of Israel
were under His protection in the wild
