Kane in "The Heart of Hero, a
story which once seen will never be
forgotten. Founded on the events
we never tire hearing and reading
ahout, it describes the dangers and
worries of those brave souls who
made possible our present day pros
perity. II begins at the peaceful New
England school house where Nathan
Hale is engaged The industrious
people of the time are presented at
work and at play. Then rapidly
the action changes and the dissension
with England begins to assume large
proportions. We are now carried
through the days when to pledge
allegiance to the >eolonists meant
practically gambling away ones life
The success of their perseverance is
responsible for our present promi-
hence as a nation. Though showing
extensively the events which trans
PRED. the play follows chiefly the
life of Nathan Hale up to the point
where he rendered his immortal
speech, Il only regret that | have but
one life to lose for my country. >
This is undoubtedly the most appeal
ing play to appear in years and the
two stars have never been given
better roles nor have they ever play
ed the roles assigned them quite as
we'll.

Lest We Forget.

circus came to town recently Like all
circuses, it brought band along. The band was
like all circus bands 1t played nearly every
popular song on the calendar. 1t played so loud
that some of the spectators became merely audi
tors at times.
When some particularly popular piece was
being played the thousands under the big tor
tapped their feet in keeping time and many went
to the extreme of hummng to the accompaniment
of the musicians. At one time few score broke
into open song.
Finally the men in the ring staged scene
that might have been called patriotic. An Ameri'
can flag was waved and the performers gave vent
to shouts Then the band struck up the national
anthem. There were some who looked about
expecting the spectators to rise en- masse as the
strains of "The Star Spanged Banner" filled
the big tent
Not one person among the thousands arose
The band blared The spectators comfortably
recined in their seats Two three long min
utes elapsed.
Then a girl sitting in one of the front row
OF seats arose to her feet. She looked about
with an embarrassed air and then turned her face
forward resolutely. Three girls with her seemed
to understand and then they stood man and
woman behind the girls stood up and the man
removed his hat.
Others followed and soon nearly every one in
the tent standing. But most of them arose
with annoyance revealed in their faces and many
sat down again before the playing Of the national
anthem had been finished.
Was this shameful spectacle typical of the
American nation? To those who would answer no
it must be said that the scene was witnessed in
the Capital OF the nation at a time when the
whole nation was supposed to be aroused to the
heights OF patriotism by preparedness parades
and the prospect of war with Mexico
And now Lieut.. William H. Santcmann has
found it necessary to append this order to the
program given by the Marine Band for the peo-
pie in the National Capital
THE entire audience is required to stand at
attention, men with their hats removed, while the
national anthem is being played"
Americans are not unpatriotic. President vii.
sons recent call to the coors showed that there
are hundreds thousands Of men here in Wash
lngton willing to die for the flag. But it is we'll
that we have men like Santelmann, lest we forget

Uncle Sam Fails as a Shark Killer

The plan OF Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo to rid the Atlantic Coast of sharks has
fallen through.
After conference with the President several
days ago at a session OF the Cabinet Mr. Nc
Adoo telcphoned the captain commandant OF
the Coast Guard to put the wheels OF that organi-
zation into motion to put the sharks out of bust
ness.
The Coast Guard was willing enough, but did
not know just how to do it. Mr.. McAdoo
ordered the wiping out OF the man-eatcrs, but
he failed to make clear his plan OF campaign In
fact, the details OF his plan still are vague in
the minds OF Coast Guard officials
These officials held a conference and one OF
them was sent to a seaside resort to get expert
advice on shark-klng. This official yesterday
reported to the Treasury Department that Mr.
McAdoos order impractical
1t seems that the experts believe big Coast
Guard cutter bearing down on a man-eater would
have about chance in a thousand OF killing
him. The experts also say sharks would not be
apt to linger long in the vicinity of small boats
sent out with armed crews from the cutter
The failure OF Mr.. McAdoos plan marks
the second time Uncle Sam has failed in the role
of shark-killer. Before the Treasury Department
took up the problem the Department of Com
merce had failed. Its Secretary, Mr. RedheId
instructed the Bureau Of Fisheries to kill the
sharks, but the bureau replied it had appropria.
tions only for propagating fish.
1t now seems that the only hope of the
bather is to take his dip within a shark-proof
enclosure remain faithful to the bath until
the beaches once again are free from the hun
CRY fish.

Had Judge Davis lived long enough,
he could have added James Sherman
of Utica, n. Y. to that list.
1T was General Arthur's understand

those who founded the government Of
the dignity and Importance of the Of
fee of vice president that caused him
TO say, when he was asked IL he would
accept the nominstion-in 1880, under
General GARFIELD, that he regarded the
vice. e-presidency as a second highest
distinction possible for American citi-
zens to bestow on any one. And he
believed that was the view taken by
the founders of the republic. For that
reason, Arthur accepted the nomina-
tion and was elected In my opinion,
General Arthurs reasoning was en-
tirely correct"

Peace Terms.

Some months ago Germany made known to
the world the terms on which she was willing
to talk peace. In the capitals of the allies the
terms were regarded as preposterous Germany
given to understand that when she wants
to talk peace the allies will lay down the terms
Peace talk then was made in whispers The
battle in the North Sea between the British and
German fleets fought. In Germany the bat
tie was hailed a German victory and the war
party took courage. The party added few
more provisions to Germany's peace terms These
terms are:
A slice OF Belgium.
A strip of Serbia
Something" for Germany in the Congo
Something to prevent Belgium being
Britans vassal
There are some who will doubtless believe
that serious-minded persons in Germany who
are aware of the actual plight of the nation. are
willing to acquiesce in continuance of the war
until the allies will listen to such terms. But
few in this country will believe that Germany will
make peace on such terms.
These few know that events of the last few
months have put the allies in such a position
that they should name the terms of peace and
that the allies soon may be in a position to de-
mand their terms in talking peace. The naval
victory" off Jutland instead of putting Germany
in a position to add peace provisions. has
greatly injured Germany
Cermanys feet suffered serious blow and
the effectiveness of the British feet was little
more than scratched Germany has staked her
all the land. The war is to be decided on
land. And on the outcome on the land depends
whether the allies or Germany is to hold the
strong hand when the day of settlement comes

Hail to the swimmin' hole and long may it
livel
The swimming hole has become an institu-
ton in American life. There is not one man in
d thousand who would abolish it. No matter
how old he may be, the of today cannot
forget the swimming hole that was the particu-
lar joy OF his boyhood. He remembers it with
the smile that he remembers apples and candy
and his first knife, and the other things that
made life more than worth the living when he
a boy.
There many swimming holes in and about
Washington, but the most popular is the Po-
tomac. Hundreds of boys find fun in the waters
OF the river and many years ago they found
that the best fun is on the Virginia shore above
the Aqueduct Bridge. 1t seems like all the bows
in Washington in swimming when one visits
the shore hot Sunday afternoon
About the only restriction confronting them
ton was placed on them by the police years ago
when canoeists began to enjoy the pleasures of
he river and the rule was enforced until this
spring. But during the last few weeks the bovs
nave discarded even the bathing suit and the
canoeists have been treated to scenes resembling
multiple September Morns with masculine models
Now the canoeists, and especially those who
carry parasols, fret under embarrassment No,
they do not want the boys arrested: never. but
they wonder why Maj. Pullman doesn't send
the police boat up the Potomac Just to remind
the happy young swimmers that bathing suits are
in order.

SMALL LOSS.

You've lost a friend? A friend, you say,
Who in your weakness turned away?
Weep not for himl He wasn't true
If in your need he turned from you,
All unresponsive to your CALL
And therefore was no friend at all.
And wherefore should the heart be sad
At losing what it never had?
No use indeed to make a woe
OF what was but an empty show.

seem to regard a campaign in Mexico sort
of vacation. One Of these young has taken
all the steps in enlistng except the oath and
when asked why he did not take the oath said:
We'll. l don't want to be in until I'm
