AT THE GARRICK.

Always interesting the Scotch airs
which are being given at the Garrlck
Theatre this week by Sandy Mcintosh
and his Highland lassies" are I'M
usually so. because OF the ability of
the members OF the company as mu-
sicians. They are not only good sing
ers, but also play musical instru-
ments in the same easy fashion as
they sing. They are typically Scotch
and they dress in typical Scotch cos
tune. which adds interest to the act.
The bill at the Garrick this week is
exceptionally clever and this is one
OF the features. II is getting lot OF
applause.

SUGGESTED PEACE EFFORT
RECEIVES ENDORSEMENT
American Conference Committee
Members Approve c. P. Trevelyan's
Letter to Neutral Nations.

NEW YORK, December 5.-Thirteen
members of the American mutual
conference committee. in a signed
statement, have Endorsed a letter sent
to the United States recently by Charles
+. Trevelyan, member of the British
house of commons, advocating that this
country and other neutral nations urge
peace consistently on the nations at
war until peace is restored.
Among those who signed the state
ment were Amos Pinchot. Charles L..
Willard.
In his letter Mr.. Trevelyan, who is a
, pacifist, said. in part:
IF I We're asked to briefly define the
attitude of the mass of my countrymen
should say that they are heartily sick
OF the war. They are not aware of the
weariness of the Germans and the will
ingness of the German government to
negotiate, and consequently they re-
gard peace as hopeless, and therefore
are not yet prepared to advocate IT.
He asserted that if it were brought
to the attention of the ordinary Eng
lishman that Germany was ready for 4
reasonable peace there would be a ra adi-
cal change in public opinion.
Mr.. Trevelyan aroused storm of
protest in England, when, in a speech
in the house of commons more than a
year ago. he urged the formulation of
terms of peace and that an attempt be
made through negotiations to obtain
the restoration of Belgium and settle
ment of European boundaries on lines
of nationality. The speech was de-
nounced by a. Bonar Law, secretary for
the colonies, as useless and mischiev-
