THE FLIVVER" FALLS
SHORT AT THE PALACE
Charity Sketch Disappointing
Miss NOrdstrOm EntertainS.

The technical headliner on the weeks
bi, at the Palace is "The Flivver," an
irritatingly disappointing sketch played
by Edna Wallace Hopper, Laura
Guerite, Cyril Chadwick and A. Bald
win Sloane. "The Flivver" deals with
the adventures of two American artists
who register an overwhelming failure
in a London music hall, but it fails
dismally to live up to the promise oil
the idea. Following a brave start, IT Is
worked out 10 a maddeningly impotent
conclusion rather, it is worked out 10
no conclusion at ell.
The fact that the proceeds OF this
number accrue 10 a war charity some
what temper its artistic failure. Inc
acting honors arc carried of by Laura
G-erite, who, with Jack Norwortn' is
accredited with the authorship. over
in London, they do say, Miss Guerite
and Mr.. Norworth played "The Flivver'
before enthusiastic audiences.

added a highly amusing episode deal
ing with the growing power Of woman

of exceedingly bad songs songs lack

Easement Case Heard
i'm Court Of Appeals

London, July IA new chapter
opened to-day in Sir Roger Casement's
legal fight against being executed for
high treason for his activities IN the
Dublin revolt. Sir Rogers case
reached the court Of criminal appeal.
Justice Darling. by reason OF his
seniority as Kings Bench judge, pre-
sided.
BY special permission Sir Roger was
present. He was sttired in lounge
suit. His face has assumed pallor
since he appeared for trial.
Sir Rogers counsel immediately
emphasized the technical point that the
law governing treason does not include
any offence of adhering 70 the Kings
enemies outside of the realm.
Alexander Sullivan, of Dublin, coun.
sci for Sir Roger, said the appeal would
involve two questions-frst, whether
the matter described in the charge was
in truth an offence within the statute
cited; second, whether the definition
OF the offence adhering 70 the Kings
enemies-gven at the reading OF the
trial, was an accurate definition or de-
fective as an instruction 10 the jury.
Mr.. Sullivan was still quoting
authorities when the hearing was ad-
iourned until tomorrow.

story writer became acquainted through
their mutual admiration for each

came 10 New York Upon her return

FRESH AIR NEEDED
TOFIGHT PLAGUE
Health Commissioner En-,
ersOn Urges Outings
for Children.

Despite the epidemic of infantile
paralysis Commissioner Emerson of
the Department of Health favors out
ings for children from uninfected
houses if proper precautions are taken
in transporting them to and from the
city.
To clear up the attitude of the de-
partment, committee Of the Fresh Air
Federation Of New York, which in
cludes the Association for Improving
the Condition of the Poor, the Tribune
Fresh Air Fund and the Children's Aid
Society, has conferred with Commits
sioner Emerson and has received the
following information:
As far as possible, open air convey
ances should be used. Crowded sub
ways should most certainly be avoid
ed. and when children are TO be carried
on railroads the exclusive use Of cars
should be obtained, if possible. The
plan OF using motor trucks where pos
sible is strongly recommended.
II is unwise to make up parties OF
more than fifty. or to include children
of less than ten years, as STATISTICS
show that 95 per cent of the cases Of
paralysis in the city occur in children
under that age. Every child should be
examined by doctor or nurse, and no
child should be permitted to go who
showed any sign Of illness.
For day outings DR.. Emerson recon-
mends Van Cortlandt, Bronx and Pei
ham Bay parks. Brighton Beach, Coney
Island and Staten Island, he says,
should be avoided, especially the last.
All Fairgrounds ought to be thrown
open, and settlement classes continued,
he says. In both cases, however, chill .
dren under ten should not be included.
Great care must be observed that no
children living in houses under suspl-
cion should mingle with others. II
would not be advisable, however, IN
the Commissioners opinion, to attempt
to examine children admitted to play
grounds.
A meeting Of all persons and organ
izations interested in fresh air work
is to be held on July 90, at $3.50 p. m,
in the assembly hall of the United
Chirities Building, 105 East Twenty
second Street Representatives of city
and state departments Of health are
to be present and speak.

reserves. 1t can afford TO experiment,
revise and resume.
Z. We are much inclined to think
that the sea affair is settled. The
German feet ia perhaps lot so bat
tered that II cannot get to sea again
in three or four months, II IL chooses
20 take the consequences. By that time
certain British units will have been
completed and commissioned, and IL
the kaiser's feet wishes 10 engage
again the Kings navy will be happy 10
ohlige II at any time. Some things IN
the German practice were excellent, We
know, and we have marked them. In
conclusive as the last sea fight seemed
TO be for immediate purposes, IT may
act indirectly as a fairly decisive
event. The only fear Of our sailors IS
that Admiral Won Scheer will not come
out again. Germany cannot reopen the
sea.
Food Situation in Germany.
z. As regards the food question in
Germany, all our information leads us
TO believe that the state Of facts and
the state Of feeling have changed
rather quickly for the worse and are
more sombre than Is generally realized
On every side there IS vehement dis
content. Through letters and other in
formation from home disccnten'
spreads through the kaiser'S army. de
spite all the recent Official precautions
There cannot be "A revolution until
after the war. Probably there will be
no revolution at all. But there will be
vast change. Germany is always apt
to move sooner or later from any idea
TO its opposite. The war creed has lost
it's glamour. There will be an outburst
Of anti-war satire. more furious. more
savage in Germany than elsewhere
The Hohenzollerns must forfeit much
of their scmi-despotic prerogative or
lose all. We can no longer doubt that
Germany. Austria and Turkey alike are
far more urgently in need Of peace than
is any Of the Allies. That being so
Herr Won Bethmann-lIo lIollweg should un-
derstand that his principle of negotla-
ton on the basis of the war map as II
stands is totally and absolutely re-
jected.
Trade Issue Settled.
9. Last. and far from least, tho Paris
conference has settled the trade issue.
Some political philosophers in the last
two decades have thought that the in
ternational boycott" would become
more powerful than ornaments. The
Allies. with population under their
flags of 00O00,000 and with every CON
ceivable natural resource, can do with
out Germany, but Germany cannot do
without them.
This is going TO he one OF the big
cest factors in tho whole struggle.
Germany still toys with the idea of a
Mittel Europa. Even that idea is i'm
possible or useless without more Sc
curity against the Russian armies and
without normal access TO the sea. NeV-
er again will Germany enjoy as IN the
past protection in her own market with
equality in most British markets: She
has lost the substance in grasping at
the shadow.
We are far from thinking even yet
that the end of this war is clearly
in sight. We do think. however. that
these nine reasons why the war VIII
not be a stalemate. but will end IN
favor of the Allies. are very strong
array OF good argument
