"Faust" At The
Hudson Next Week

The first act shows us Faust as ar
old man, sitting in his study, weary
and disappointed. He is about to END
his troubles and uncertainty in death
when Mephistopheles appears and, in
exchange for his soul, offers him
youth, beauty and love, and, as ar
earnest of what is to come, shows him
vision Of the gentle Marguerite
sitting at her spinning wheel. Faust
is enraptured, hastily signs the CON
tract, and hurries away with his at
tendant fiend.
The ext scene is taken up with
kermesse in the market-place Of a
country town. Valentine, the brother
Of Marguerite, departs for the wars
after confding his sister to the care
of his friend Siebel. During a pause
in the dances Faust salutes Mar

Another, denying the charge as ap.

"due to sheer folly and weakness
and ignorance, rather than criminal
instinct"
There's no question that women

quently than men. Custom House in
spectors are disposed to suspect near
~ all women in general of having less
tender consciences than men. 1t is
commonly felt, indeed, that women
are the chief custodians of the NOR
ais of mankind
There is distinction, however, be-
tween private morality, of which
women are the bulwark, and public
morality, concerning which their
ideas often seem documentary. Their
smuggling falls into this latter class
of immoral acts. Perhaps fuller par
ticipation in public life will give even
the Sheltered woman" a tenderer
conscience in all community matters,
a greater feeling Of responsibility for
the public welfare and greater re-
spect for governmental authority.

has deteriorated. When heavily
massed it can demolish hilltop and
reduce wood to splinters, but it
gets as much as it gives, and where
ever it bends the enemy's line the
troops seem to have retreated only
to return. From other fronts comes
the same story of the German ar
tillery being at least matched, if
not mastered.
There is reason to believe that
stress rather than strategy is at the
bottom of this terrific onslaught
in the vicinity of Verdun. Ger
many's strength, economic no less
than military, is decaying. Her com
merce her supplies of the necessaries
of life are severely curtailed by the
British blockade. The submarines
may capture vessels laden with food,
but cannot bring them into port.
Worst of all, the resources in men
are decreasing, and the physical
quality of the recruits is degenerat-
ing. The dash at Verdun seems an at
tempt to snatch an impressive victory,
opening way to Paris, before the
recruits and reserves go from bad
to worse, and the Franco-B British
forces begin the spring campaign
they have planned. It may be now
or never for the Teutonic allies. The
great Prussian stratocracy is in
straits. Its reserves may not suffice
for more than another year.-Boston
Herald.

The Lesson OF Verdun

More than one lesson may be
learned from the awful succession
of battles for Verdun, but there is
one which stands out distinctly to
be read to all the world, one which
marks change in the balance Of
efficiency between the two groups
of belligerents, and which cannot fail
to greatly affect the further course
Of the war. It is that the German
army has lost that superiority in
heavy artillery to which it owed its
early successes. No longer have the
mighty Krupp and Skoda guns the
irresistible power to blast the way
to victory. The demolition of
fortresses such as Liege and Namur
has gone beyond the reach of repeti-
ton. Forts like these have ceased
to be the centers of defence, and
where the centers are is not easily
discovered. They are dug and hid
den under all kinds of cover on
mount and hillside, in valley and for
est, and are SO strongly armed and
so well supplied with ammunition
that they can reply effectively to
every attack.
Suficiency of munitions is not
now Germany's alone. The store
which she had accumulated was of
immense service to her in the first
twelve months of the war, but her
adversaries have at length caught
up with her, and in the Verdun fight
ing the French gunners are frequent
" firing as many as four or five high
explosive shells in reply to each
German shell, thus forming a cur
tain Of fire which the German in
fantry find impenetrable. This does
not mean that the German artillery

guerite for the first time as she re-
turns from church.
The second act takes place in Mar
guerite's garden. Faust and Mephis-
topheles enter secretly and deposit a
casket of jewels upon the doorstep.
Marguerite, womanlike, is won by
their beauty, and cannot resist put
ting them on. Faust finds her thus
adorned and woos her passionately,
while Mephistopheles attempts to
keep Dame Martha, her companion,
out of the way. At the end Of the act
Marguerite yields to Faust's prayers
and entreaties.
In the third act Marguerite is left
disconsolate. Faust has deserted her,
and Valentine comes home to find his
sisters love affair the scandal of the
town. He fights a duel with Faust,
whom he finds lurking under his
sisters window, and dies cursing
Marguerite with his last breath.
In the fourth act we are taken to
the summit Of the Broken to witness
the revels Of the demons on Walpur-
gis Night, and the Witches Carnival
inaugurates the career Of dissipation
on which Faust is launched my Me-
phisto in order to make him forget
the past.
And in the last act is shown the
prison where Marguerite lies con-
demned to death for the murder Of
her child. Faust is introduced by
the aid of Mephistopheles, and tries
to persaue her to fly with him. But
weak and wandering though she is,
she refuses, and dies to the chant of
an angelic choir, while Faust is
dragged down to the abyss by Me-
phistopheles, the great play ending
with a magnificent transformation
scene of transcendent beauty show
ing the flight of lost soul among
the golden clouds.

Women s Conscience

A prominent member of the New
York bar, testifying before a con-
gressional committee, declared:
Women are natural-born smugglers
Young or old, married or unmarried
they are all alike"
This accusation has aroused a
storm of feminine protest, particular
~ from suffrage leaders. One of them
retorts: "Men smuggle just as much
as women do, and more. Men SNUG
gle on gigantic scale which women
never attempt. And every time a
woman tries to bring in one hat, and
gets caught, the papers write about
it. The wholesale smuggling of bust
ness men goes unnoticed."
Another woman admits the charge
but says defantly: "Why expect
women scrupulously to keep laws
which they have not been allowed to
make? The government has grated
on them; isn't it natural that they
should try to get little of their own
back by grating on the govern
ment?"
Then along comes prominent
anti-suffragist, and confesses: "It is
true that women are more inclined to
smuggle than men. Women have q
keen sense of honor, and are more
ready to cheat and tell little lies. .

MEETING CALLED
At SWEETWATER

Note the announcement Of meet
ing to bo held at Sweetwater April
9th to lay plans to establish West
Texas A. q NJ College. The Signal
has contended for years that West
Texas should have school Of that
kind,
The College at Bryan is too far n
way The climate, the soil. the popu-
lation and other conditions there are
so different from this part Of the
state that an agriculiurist educated
there has to almost learn over after
coming back to apply his training
here at home.
The fact that the school is so far
away keeps hundreds Of boys out OF
it who would attend an Agricultural
College nearer home. Such college
In Wcst Texas would stimulate our
people In scientific farming and our
home boys would rally TO It, Such %
school here at home would teach
practical lessons which could be ap-
piled and give our boys first class
literary education besides
The Signal hopes to see a big del
egation OF scurry County people at
the sweetwater meeting and that the
plans may be formed to present to
the Legislature that will win out. At
one time, two years ago, this move
ment looked favorable and by per
slstent effort the trick can be turned.
