question that confronts society. The
play is described as searching, strong,
fearless in theme and unique and orig

more than equaled the success of the
novel, having had unusually long runs

American Situation-Many
Cases Unsettled.

Washington, d. ca high state de-
partment official explains the reason
for the administration opposition to
the issuance of warning for Amer
leans to keep off armed ships. He
said following the Lusitania torpedo
ing Germany promised not to attack
unarmed liners in the future without
warning. Then, before the case had
been settled, the torpedoing Of the
Arabic occurred. Settling the Arabic
case Germany promised not to attack
any liner without warning. After sew
eral months of informal negotiations
Germany phrased final reply in the
Lusitania case satisfactory to the orig
inal American demands. Before q for
NAL agreement had been reached Ger
many issued proclamation of war
against armed merchantmen This,
which was wholly inconsistent with
the settlement, nullified 1t. IL the
government warned citizens 1t would
place the administration in a position
of multiplying or even repudiating the
Lusitania demands

been an easing off in interests on the
other side, with lower prices, owing
to adequate provisions for immediate
requirements, and enough wheat in
sight to take care of prospective de-
mands. The local wheat market is
comparatively narrow affair, due alike
to the diversion of shipments to At

that freight tie-up has been an effec-
tual dampener upon operations.

issued it's first formal complaint of I'M
fair business practices, citing Goldin
Bros, a New York thread manufacture
ing firm, to appear April 5 and show
cause why they should not desist from
alleged unfair methods. The complaint
charges that the firm has manufac-
tured and sold mercerized cotton
thread as silk and that the product
contains no portion of silk. 1t is
charged that to brand this Sewing

ing, and that other manufacturers,
therefore, have been injured in their
