WAR BRIDES AT THE
 LYRIC THIS WEEK.
Dramatic One-Act Playlet Will Be Staged As
 Healthier

A one-act play, an effective protest against war is Marion Craig Wentworth s War Brides" which will be the all- week feature at the Lyric this week.
 The setting is a room in a peasant s cottage, in a village stirred by the de- parture of its first military units; the central characters, a mother who has sent her sons to war, her daughter, Amy, and her daughter-in-law Joan. Some thing of the spirit of excitement that rules the community is transmitted in the first lines. Amy is for leaving for the front at once to serve as nurse, but there is opposition from two sources; !; her mother, who reminds her that Joan, about to become a mother, must be watched with during the long days of her husbands absence; and Herman, who urges her to become his war bride for the sake of the fatherland. It is true that she has known him for about a day But.
 Across this artificial fervor, and un- thinking patriotism, with it's vulgariza- tion and it's forgetfulness of the fierce irony of war marriages to restock the land, cuts the entrance of Joan. She wants no more war. She is already half
 
 Franz. She is, moreover, of a different sort from these peasant women, for she has lived in a factory town and learned to think for herself. What, she questions Herman, will happen to Amy? Have you thought of that? No, warrant you haven't. Well, look. A few kisses and sweet words, the excitement of the cere- mony, the cheers of the crowd some days of living together-I won't call it marriage, for Franz and I are the ones who know what real marriage is, and how sacred it is--then what? Before you know it and order to march. Amy left to wait for her child. No husband to wait with her, to watch over her.
 The ending of the play is tense en- forcement of her words. Semi-hy ysterical, Joan begs before her imprisonment that she may write message to the war lords, and It is humored As they read what she has written T refuse to bear my child until you promise there shall be no more war"-a shot Is heard in her bedroom.
 Then there will be eight other acts on the bill For the first halc of the weeS there will be Dooley and Sales in That S Silly; Four Readings, in a sensational juggling act of human beings; Lockett and Waldron, the musical comedy boys, and Orville Stamn, the "boy hercules" :"
 On the bill for the last half of the War Brides" there will be Van and schenck, the "pennant winning battery of songland; Hooper and Cook, in Give Us a Chance; Repel and Fairfax, in singing, talking and dancing act, and Sid and Sid, in the laugh factory. Pathe pictures will feature all perform ances.

would be eqipped with implements which could be hired by the settlers Settlers could have preliminary traIning at the central farm before taking up holdings
 It IS suggested that the military huts scattered all over the country at the present time should be converted into cottages and farm buildings, and that army wagons and horses should be al- lotted to the farm colonies after the war
 In outlining it's plan the committee says it recognizes that of the total num- Der of discharged soldiers who under this scheme may be willing to become tenant farmers of the state certain proportion have already lived and worked on the land. The others will naturally need some preliminary tralnlng perore they are able to take over their own holdings. This training, in the opinion of the committee, will be best given by the temporary employment of such men at fair living wage on central farm under the control of a manager appointed by the board of agriculture
 These would be given in addition to their wages in cash a cottage with a garden, and as soon as they showed promise of efficiency a portion of the land near their cottages would be let to them.

 Their necessary intimacy during the fight for her husbands liberty was dis tcrted by Gray's prison stained mind Her reward for unswerving faithfulness and constant and sometimes humiliating work for his release was rewarded by a snarl- ing accusation.

state, and they would be subject to a cer- tain amount of state tutelage. It is pro- posed that there should be in each colony resident director and an instructor, and that there should be a central depot for the sale of produce and for the pur- chase of farming requisites. Social amenities are also to be provided for by the establishment of women's insti- tutes for the settlers wlves
 WANT TEN MILLIONS
 To get under way this plan of home settlements which it has been suggested would revolutionize rural life in England, the committee says $10,000,OOO should be placed at the disposal of the board of agrculture, together with three pioneer colonies of 5O00 acres in all. The initial cost of establishing three colonies to ac- commodate 300 families, the committee estimates, at about $1,5O0O0O.
 Besides providing employment for the soldiers and sailors, the committee points out the advantages of the plan for the development of the agriculture of the country.
 The demobilization of the navy and army at the close of the war will afford unique opportunity of developing agri- culture in this country" says it's report. "It is of the utmost importance to the welfare of the nation that this oppor- tunity should be seized ana turned to lIe greatest pOSSlDl6 dQVdnLaBe.l In0 men who have joined the forces include repre- sentatiyes of all the best elements of our population, many of them possess a high degree of enterprise ana intelli- gence, and if any substantial number can be attracted to seek a career on the land at home, it will give stimulus to the agriculture of the country"
 It is proposed to have each colony con- sist of four-acre holdings, with pigsty, toolhouse, and portable fowlhouse, huts for unmarried men, sales depot and store, Jam creamery or cheese factory, central farm, state credit bank, recreation grounds and clubroom and village hall to provide social center.

London, March 1.--(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-Thousands of sol- c1ers and sailors now fighting under the British flag will become farmers after the war if a plan adopted by a commit tee appointed by the board of agriculture to study the problem of what to do with the ex-fighting men is carried out. It is hoped to get the scheme under way as soon as possible in order to provide en- ployment and a home for disabled fight Ing men now returning from the front.
 The essence of the plan is that the state should acquire considerable area of agricultural land and should establish thereupon colonies of small holders. These small holders would be the tenants of the
