Boy Scouting in the Andes

From the World Outlook.
 The Boy Scouts of La Paz, Bolivia. have issued a challenge to the world Recently the First Troop of the mission school, accompanied by their scout mas ter accomplished a hike of 14S miles across the great Altiplano of the Andes to Oruro in four an done-half days. They carried provisions for the journey and sufficient blankets for sleeping out in the intense cold of Andean nights. The altitude averages nearly 14,00O feet, as high as Pike's peak.
 The Boy Scouts of La Paz wish to know whether their record has ever been beaten considering the distance time, al- titude and peculiarly trying condition of great heat in the middle of the day and even more severe cold at night.
 At Oruro, their destination, they were given a great ovation, with a continual shower of "fresco" and fruit along the last few kilometers of the march, which ended with a Recourse banquet and free entertainment at the best hotel. The banquet was notable for the fact that no alcoholic drinks were served. When the habamba Scouts went to Ouro less than year before the reception commit tee met the mwith wine and beer to re- plenish their canteens.

 at Lyric All Week

The minstrel folks will be in town this
 week and minstrel is always pleas
 ing attraction. Emmet J. Wech and his minstrel men will be at the Lyric all this week and this assures a treat for
 Lyric patrons. This minstrel is composed
 of minstrel men of talent and all of them can sing and dance and tell jokes An entire minstrel first part will be pre- scented. Some of the latest steps in danc-
 ing will be introduced. some of the latest songs sung and some of the latest jokes told. All in all, this act is expected to prove one of the most entertaining of the Lyric season.

spy The entire treatment of the play is dignified and reverent-strictly nonparti- san-as is befitting the life story of one whose glory belongs not to the south nor to the nation, but to the world. It is play for the family. No one could witness it and not be inspired to higher ideals of honor and integrity.
 There is something gripping and uplift- ing in the treatment of the story as the thousands of people who have seen it in Tennessee can testify. It also has that peculiar element which compels people to go again and again.
 The committee appointed to represent Camp Wilcox are Mesdames Sam Wooster, J. A. Hewlett and Hammond; i; Messrs. R. R. Zell, Bridges and Norris. Each day representatives of the chapter will be at the theatre as hostesses and welcome all those who have the interest of the Confederacy at heart.
 Mrs. Vera Shearon Anderson, secre- tary-treasurer of the Conner Producing company of Nashville the owners of the sam Davis" film, is in Birmingham CO., operating with Camp Wilcox in an effort to make this one of the most attractive entertainments that the Birmingham the atre-goers have had the pleasure of en- toying for many days.

ION TRIAL" WORK l OF YOUNG AUTHOR,
 AT THE JEFFERSON HOung Reitzeinstein, Just 21 Years Old, Writes Un-
 usual Drama AS LAWYER: NOW A PLAYWRIGHT Jefferson Theatre, Owing to Errors of New York Booking Office,
 Will Be Dark for Sev- eral Nights

Owing to the errors of the New York booking office, the Jefferson theatre will be dark as far as the regular theatrical performances until Friday and Satur- bay, on February Il and 12. "On Trial"
 dramatic play by Elmer l.. Reitzein- Ptein Is the attraction then.
 It is not difficult to understand the
 uccess of 'On Trial" which will be pre- tented here under the direction of Conan
 E Harris. Its mechanical cleverness and btructural unusualness rivet the atten-
 ion from the first to the last scene in what is beyond question the most orig 'nal play the American stage has fos-
 cred in a quarter of century
 The main story of the melodrama deals
 with murder trial wherein the jury is but in possession of all the facts leading
 o the crime. The circumstantial evil Hence is marshalled before the jury and It the same time before the audience. Irhe witnesses are called one after an other, and in the midst of evidence one by one the scenes change from court

 Ambushes grow better when planted in trenches.
 Weeping willows should be set out in tiers.
 Hall trees bear more heavily in the fall, if planted near the front door where the children can get at them readily.

 The Musical Hodges, vaudeville's class fest musical offering, will be one of the attractive features. This act has scored repeated successes, and it always affords much pleasure.
 Ruth Curtis, singing comedienne, will also entertain during the last half of the week. She is a dainty comedienne and as fun maker ranks with the best.
 Bronte and Atwood, in a board walk Irritation and another act to be announced later, complete the bill for the last half of the week. Pathe pictures will feature all performances. Reserved seats are now on sale.

 REALISTIC STORY


 | The appeal of "On Trials" is found in it's realistic visualization of a story from real life that combines the tense inter- est that attaches to the fight for acquit- tai by an accused murderer and the bat tie of wits by the district attorney and the lawyers for the defense, the whole forming an altogether powerful and in- tensely dramatic exposition.
 The courtroom is the one stage setting that dominates the three acts and 10 scenes of this unusual play The gentle men of the jury, the learned counsel, the intellectual, emotionless judge are continually in evidence, and yet this scene fades away continually and gives place to scenes elsewhere in the unfold ing of the plot and Illustrating the story of the witnesses. It is uncanny at times by the weird lightning changes of per- sons and places. "On Trial is tremen- dously emotional and calls for the most artistic treatment No ordinary actors could interpret the parts To see the wife of the defendant sitting in the wit ness chair, broken in spirit and aged by suffering, and then in the twnklng of an eye to have the scene change to the library of her husbands home, where she greets him, youthful, beautiful, ani- mated and joyous Is thrilling indeed.
 Limited space will not admit of de- tailed description of the remarkable drama. Tt is sufficient to say that it is the most distinctly human document ever projected across the footlights and as a skilled piece of dramatic construc- tion is certain to stand as an example for many years to come
 AUTHOR OF ION TRIAL"
 To the author of "On Trial'' has been allotted the destiny dreamed of by so many thousands of yearning dramatists the destiny of having his first play adequately produced by the first manager to whom it was offered, and seeing it acclaimed as a masterpiece by every critic who has so far reviewed 1t.
 The first New York performance of "On Trial' was an unusual one. At it's close the audience remained and called spontaneously for the author. In response to the tremendous applause a. slender youth with a studious face and curly red hair. arose in a box and made modest speech of thanks The slender young man who had made reputation in single night was Elmer l.. Rezen- stein, youth of 21. He had never been to college. He had always wanted to write plays. After two years in high school, he had gone into business; provi- dentially .lost his first job and drifted into lawyers office. In his leisure mo- ments he attended @ New York law school and two years ago had secured admission to the bar, oa. he sat in his

war to advance private interests in Mexico.
This country does not want Mexico; the people of
the United States do not want in or
to take single step that avoided in directing
the affairs of Mexico Yet everything conceivable has
been done to make believe that our honor demands

ROOTS SPEECH AND
HIS LONG SILENCE

Ex-senator Roots attack on the
president for not going to war with
Germany because of the invasion of
Belgium recalls the most effective
part Of the answer made by De-
mosthenes to Aeschines in the ora
ton on the crown.
Aesch1nes charged Demosthenes
with a failure to prepare proper
measures against Phillip, and De-
mosthenes silenced him by saying. in
substances: ''You were there, why
did you not propose better measures !?
If you knew Of better measures and
did not propose them you were un-
patriotic; If you did not know of any
better measures then, why do you
criticize me now?"
SO the president might inquire Of
Mr.. Root, IF you thought, when Bel
glum was invaded, that we should
declare war against Germany, why
were you silent? If you did not then
think that it was a cause for war,
why do you now find fault with me
Tor not advising war?"-Commoner.

He reached the conclusion that fer
