Prohibited Wave "Topplco'
Waterbury DemocratJ

\f'oISl OuIy Do1nOCrat)
 With Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Colorado going dry the first of the year, and Virginia to follow suit heAC november, and Georgia and other states tightening their prohib1- ton laws the liquor interests pro- less to be undismayed The presi- dent of the National Model License league-an organization of the best element of the liquor men-even finds cause for comfort in the strength the prohibition movement Is now showing. Tt is the crest of the wave," he says. "The prohibition wave, like any other wave, must topple at it's crest. As the effects of recent drastic legislation are felt, the units that compose the wave will fall over each other in a wild effort to get pack to normal conditions. The his tory of the prohibition wave that rose so high in 1895, and fell so far, is about to be repeated" It is pos sible, however,. that the Model Li- cense league president is letting his hopes deceive him. Certainly the wave hasn't yet begun to break, and few disinterested persons can see any clear signs of it's doing so. With the tremendous impetus given to liq- uor abstinence by the European war, the movement still appears to be gathering strength. After the war there may come a general relaxation of morals in the belligerent nations, with intemperance and increased liquor consumption as one of it's phases, and such a relapse would naturally be felt also in America. But it's too early to make any safe prophecy.

"INTERLOCKINGs'D DIRECTORATEs
 GONE ".,~

Yesterday marked the end of inter locking directorates in our banking system. At the annual elections held Tn national banks throughout the country there were designations of men who held positions on the boards tons. In the future these financiers will confine their activities to taking care of the interests of one and only one bank at a time. This is in con- formity with the Clayton law which ordains that no person shall at the same time be- a director of more than has capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating more than five million dollars At the time this law vas enacted grave apprehensions were held by bankers throughout the nation who saw that there must surely be a panic if such thing were put in order. IL will be interesting to watch the outcome, to see whether the breaking up of interlocking director &tc5 will bring ruin to the United States.
 The law will not really go into effect until next October. But by that time it must be fully compiled with, according to a ruling of the Federal Reserve Board For that reason there were no "interlocking' directors elected yesterday. They could serve only eight months at the longest. If there is any suffering because of this law the smaller banks will be the victims because deprived of the counsel and advice of those men who direct the affairs of larger banks.

 ''Semendria has often been a fa- vored residence of the Serbian ruler and from 1430 to 1459 it was the , capital of the state. The town has picturesque setting upon the broad river, here narrowing for its passage of the Iron Gates just below it. The country around it is broken and wooded. The population is about 7,- 500, and, despite a thriving wine pro duction and an expanding commerce, this population has remained about the same through the last score Of years. The port has a branch line connecting it with the Belgrade -Nish railway, the main products artery in the country. It's rugged old triangu- lar fortress still stands, the most interesting architectural feature in the city, and it's twenty-four square towers are sentinels of Semendria to- day as in the days of George Brank- ovich, father of Tokay wine' who builded them. The fortress was built on the model of the Constant nOple walls"

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to the Herald Office.
A Convert to Preparedness. Providence Journa1.)

So Nobody has ever suggested that the Hon. John Sharp Williams of Missis- sippi is lacking in red blooded and eloquent Americanism; but, just the same, his attitude in favor of adequate naval expansion, declared in a spirited speech in the Senate on Thursday, may be an agreeable surprise to tle country. It is about as striking Ian illustration of the effect of the lodic of events on the minds of thoughtful statesmen as has been afforded in the case of former Senator Burton of Ohio.
 With question of vital national policy before Congress and the coun- try, these two veteran leaders of pub lie opinion who have rarely agreed on who temperamentally as politically are as far apart as the poles, are found standing on the same platform.
 The Ohio statesman, one of the ablest representatives of the Amer ican people in this generation, was apt to be cool toward Army and Navy appropriations during his long service In Congress. That position. to be sure, did not really do violence to public sentiment as it has existed. Burton's was the voice of leadership when the question of preparedness be- gan to assume the shape that has now made it the most momentous is- sue before his hard-headed fellow countryman.
 It was Williams of Mississippi who, when leader of the House minority, ironically suggested that Congress should authorize the building of a super-superdreadnou to be named the "Skeerd O. n othin." Ridicule is a powerful weapon, and the Mississippi Representative and Senator has a1- ways been keen to use it. His bat tleship "Skeerd- o'-nothin" made the country laugh. It gave particular joy to the pork barrel rollers in Con- gress. Out of the mouths of the little Navy men it has made it's re- appearance about every time the naval appropriation bill has seen before the House, since Williams launched it.
 Today, it is no joke with it's au- thor. He would now have the United States possess an armament liter ally of that charac cter. He addresses the Senate with uncommon delibera- tion and solemnity on the necessity to prepare the Government to back up It's future diplomacy with force. The fact that he is a member of the Foreign Relations Committee adds weight to his words +@
 The Administration and the country Will evidently have a stout champion TOT the policy of preparedness in the senior Senator from Mississippi

Miss Rchan's Place.
(New York Sum-

Absent from the stage for so long that the present generation may 1 scarcely be said to have made her acduaintance, Ada Rehan enjoyed her triumphs as an actress in rather strict partnership with the man SUD- posed to be responsible for the de- velopment of her natural gifts as an actress. This was Augustin Daily, the last noted theats' manager of this country. Since his day there have been successful spectators in amusements and real estate. He was always a theater manager, however, in the fullest sense of the word It was in the company of Dalys theater that the talents of Miss Re- han showed themselves, at first ob- scurely, only to bloom into such brilliant and beautiful effervescence later that they became the prepon- derating attraction of Daly's theater. From the modern farces which MT. Daly so skilfully translated from the German, through the classic old English comedy of the eighteenth cen tury, the heroine of Shakespearas comedies, the actress ascended triurn- phantly, always with the experienced counsel of MT. Daly, and surrounded with the superior artistic forces of his theater.
 He had made other stars" pre- viously. Both Clara Morris and Fanny Davenport had made the march to eminence under his orderN Their careers, however. had not end- ed after they were removed from his influence. But Miss Rehan al- though as loudly praised by English audiences as by our own, made but few desultory appearances in pubs lie after the death of her old man- ager.
 She was certainely missed, for the American stage lost one of it's nokx brilliant figures after her retirement. After all, some of the great are in- dispensable just as Ada Rehan was when she ceased to act a decade or more ago and as Julia Marlowe is today Miss Rehan was the greatest American comedienne of her day, and she won this distinction by tho severest tests. She arose from tho more trivial of modern plays, thougb Pinero to Sheridan, and found herr greatest glory in the plays of ShakH speare. Tn those plays she gave t full and final measure of her pow

Asked to join his wife and their chil- dren at his mother-in-law's home in Springfield, Mo-, he has arrived in Springfield, but without an idea in which one of it's homes to look for his brood. That cognomen, so long dead letter in his household, has suddenly become of great importance to him. And he cannot recall it. ~I remember seeing her name on the wedding certificate" he says, but it sure has slipped my memory"
 We sincerely hope that the publicl-s ty he has given his plight will help speedily to reqnite this model familyr In the mean time let this fortunate husband and father reflect that many a man would gladly undergo his tem- porary distress of mind for the per- manent peace of such sweet forgetfpae ness.
