NON.PARTISANS SEEK

Political Propaganda Spreads from
Montana to Illinois.

In States from Wyoming and Mon
tana to as far East as Wisconsin and
Illinois endeavors of nonpartisan
league officers are being directed to-
ward an amalagamation with union
labor leaders to the end that the polit-
ical strength of the new organization
may be greatly enhanced.
This is the story told by Secretaries
of Senators and Representatives from
that section. No name has been
agreed upon for this movement, it Is
planned, but that there shall be a
general pooling of interests, and that
principles for which labor and the far
mcrs' organization have been con-
tending will be included in any plat
forms that may be evolved
Some political sharps at the Cap
! itOl view the movement much in the
same light that they do the new Ma
tional party. They believe no attrac-
tive principles which the major par
ties have not either indOrsed or ac-
tually carried into effect can be
evolved
As to a union of farmers and union
labor, they think the plan is not only
unworkable but preposterous. as the
interests of farmers and Iaboring men
conflict acutely, they say.

AMERICAN THEATER
in PARIS PROPOSED
George BIumenthal Submits Project
to President and Others.

An all-American theater in Paris
for the entertainment of our SOL
diers and sailors on furlOugh or sta
toned there will be established, ac-
cording to an announcement made
last night by George Blumenthal
Mr. Blumenthal formerly was man.
ager for Oscar and Arthur Hammer
stein. He has been in Washington
several days.
The plans Mr.. Blumenthal hopes
to carry out, with the cooperation
of representative American managers,
was submitted yesterday to the Pres
ident, Secretary of War and the
French Ambassador.
Three performances a day-a COM
edy in the morning, drama in the
afternoon and a musical show i'm
the evening, embracing about fifty
performers in all and brought over
from here-are contemplated.
In a theater seating 1900 persons.
on the basis of twenty-one perform
ances a week, entertainment could be
provided for approximately 5000
men. A certain number of tickets
would be distributed gratis, both here
and abroad.
Livery memDer OIL the company is
to be an American, as well as musi-
clans, box office attendants and all
attaches.
With an American theater in Paris
and American players, 'Sammie''
would feel as much at home in that
city as in his own home town.
Before leaving for New York last
night Mr.. Blumenthal sent an out
line of his plans to all the managers
in New York.

D. c. FRY FINED $50
FOR Watering MILK
Maryland Dairy Man First to Be
Convicted in Months.

David c. Fry, of Landers. Nd, was
fined $50 in Police Court yesterday on
conviction of adulterating milk I'M
ported into the District.
Testimony presented by Inspector
Harry ]. Mulligan, Of the Health De-
partment, was to the effect that Fry
shipped the milk in 10-gallon cans
containing two gallons of water in
addition to the milk
This conviction is the first the
Bureau of Food Inspection of the
Health Department has brought
about in months. Ever since August
milk coming into Washington has
been closely watched, following the
discovery that much of it was being
adulterated with water.
Inspector Mulligan found that sew
.eral samples of the milk shipped
by Fry contained nearly 20 per cent
more water than normal. Then In
spector Mulligan swore out war
rants charging two offenses.
Inspector Mulligan remarked that
the more some shippers get for their
product, the more they want. Milk
at wholesale now sells at 80 cents a
gallon.
