The Naked Drama.
Bridgeport Farmer. )

I Whether or not the Russian Ballet should have been censored The Far 1 mer does not know. Perhaps the | reHel of the Sultans wives and the | Moorish slaves is improper, and per- i haps not It is very improper in the book. But the book is a classic, which makes improper things quite correct, of course. Whether a Faun with too much drapery on him is su ] perior to the native product of Greek myth, may be questioned. The truth about the stage is, and the statement applies to the silent stage, the vaudeville stage, the bur lesque stage and the legitimate stage,
 that it has got into the hands of per- sons whose highest conception of the drama is nude women. These per- | sons regard nudity as of the essence of art, and go to any expense to make an excuse to exhibit some bony damsel in her robe de nuit, especially if she can engage in a carelessly ar ranged struggles with a couple of fat raScals, in dress suits two years out of date.
 That the American public wants this sort of thing is a misconception. There is no such public. The thing is an illusion which has it's origin in the heads of stage managers.
 The legitimate stage has beelE brought to the verge of ruin by the peculiar favoritism for nakedness which has been displayed in so many plays.
 Long ago woman learned she is more attractive in modest garments Not willing to borrow from the wis dom of the sex, your modern play wright, aided by vulgar and ignorant stage directors substitutes large naked feet, upon which the ruins of generations of corns are often freely displayed; offers skinny ankles, with knuckle bones unduly exhibited and legs with which an egyptian mummy of the time of Thothmes IT would be ashamed to be found dead. Some go to the extent of producing the uncov- cred limbs of male persons, calves in an undecorated state, which are an offense to every artistic instinct
 If such exhibitions serve any use ful purpose, it is to increase the re- spect in which the inventor of cloth ing must ever be held.
 The legitimate stage must get it. be degraded out of all profits The movies are less contaminated Keep them so.

tion of the common shares of the United States Steel Corporation to a five per cent. dividend basis, the maximum rate paid before the out break of the European War. At the corresponding meeting of the Steel Directors a year ago the dividend, which had been cut to two per cent rate in the previous quarter, was passed altogether. This basic indus try gauges the country's economic conditions, and the change from Jan uaary to January in the fortunes of the United States Steel Corporation is a measure of the marvellous trans formation that has been wrought in the establishment of countrywide prosperity.-NewY York Sun.

Henry F'ord's heart is so exactly in the right place that his feelings in spire respect, even though his plans grow thinner and more hopeless the more fully they are revealed. He will endow permanent foundation at The Hague. But what can Ford money do that Carneeie money failed to do? He will persuade the nations to dis arm by telling them that they are on the brink of ruin. But what can he add to the knowledge already pos- sessed by the harassed ministers of finance? It seems to him quite rea- sonab1e to suggest to Europe: Why not disarm together with the rest of the world," But it is no more reason able than when 1t was elOquently put by Baroness von Huettner in "Ground Arms" The trouble with MT. Ford is that he sees only the outside of the terrific facts which are shaking Europe; he understands nothing of the underlying causes for wa" and for armaments. And to Europe he seems to talk like a goodhearted child who cannot comprehend why men should kill.-Springfeld Republican.

London, Nov 1.-THE American

have been sunk, according to an an

the time by admiralty stations.
Nothing further, however, had
been heard of the Columbian until
tonight's statement from Lloyds'
Shipping agency.
The crew of the American steam
ship Columbian has arrived at Co
runna, Spain, in life boats, says a
Reuter- dispatch from Madrid.
The Columbian is under American
registry and sailed from New York
October Is and Boston October 21
bound for Genoa. She reported as
touching at St Nazaire on November

in San Francisco in 1907. The ves-
sci carried no passengers but had a
crew of about 1l3 officers and men.
She was under charter by the France
e. Canadian Steamship company with
