while our soil was not invaded or
even threatened with invasion and
without any disturbance Of business
conditions. All was done with the
calm determination and judgment Of
an earnest, patriotic people per-
forming a service for civilization
and mankind and maintaining the
rights, the dignity, and the honor
o. the greatest nation in the world.
The German leaders deride Ameri-
cas- entry into the war as a bluff.
This is our answer.
The German Imperial Government
was nearly fifty years in perfecting
its military efficiency. In less than
four months the American Republic
has made such strides as to indicate
that in less than two years time, the
boosted superiority Of German ell
cheney will have been discredited.
There is such thing as American
efficiency, and time will prove that
German efficiency can not with
stand il, fighting as it is for liberty,
justice and humanity.

AMERICAN EFFICIENCY

Germany efficiency has been held
up as a degree of excellence unat-
tainable by a Democracy. The ac-
ccmplishments of the United States
since April 5th last refute the truth
Of the claim. In the short space Of
time since that day the United
States has accomplished the follow
ing:
Declared a state of war as existing
between this country and Germany.
Seized 81 German ships and began
repair work on them;
Authorized unanimously a war
fund of s7,OOO,0O0OOO;
Appropriated s6OO,OO0,OOO for mer-
chant shipping and as much for air
fleets;
Agreed to loan our allies $3,000,-
100000 and advanced them a large
proportion Of that sum;
Passed a selective draft law and
in a single day registered nearly
ten million men for military service;
Enlisted 100000 volunteer soldiers
in the Regular Army and in the Ma
tional Guard of the States;
Sent a Commission to Russia to

railroad men TO Russia and another
To France TO advise and assist in
railroad transportation in those
countries;
Begun the construction of 80
camps for our soldiers;
Sent TO England fleet OF destroy

:
Washington, Jan. 10.-Flitting
lightly from weighty arguments in the
Adamso S.heur la wcase, the supreme
court today is popdering the question:
What is a cabaret? u, ,..s
Victor Herbert says it's q perform
ance for profit. Shanley's, in the
heart OF New York's lobster bolt, says
it's not. ,f',~
Victor composed piece for his
opera, "Sweethearts." In
it is a song of the same name. Shan
ley's started using the song as a cabar'
ct number. With wall of anguish.
Herbert hoped out to rescue his brain
child from the restaurant. He didn't
succeed, so he left the cafe and en-
tered suit.
Arguments for Herbert were that a
cabaret is a performance for profit.
and that therefore Herbert is entitled
to royalties. To support the perform
ance-for profit plea advertisements
of Shanley's were introduced, in which
the words cabaret, extraordinaire'
were used: Blushing modestly, Her.
bert by his attorneys admitted his
song probably had something to do
with it.
In turn, the cabaret pleaded that no
admission Is charged. and that there
fore there is no profit. Although Her
bert's attorneys replied that the 3D.
mission charge Is Incorporated in the
charge for food and drink, two New
York courts upheld the cabaret.

sent broadcast a letter in which he
states:
"As you are doubtless aware, prac-
tically every interest in this state is
organized on some form or other. The
pool and billiard men have never or
ganized and have never been repre-
scented before the legislature, and the
result has been that laws have been
passed which now make it impossible
to do profitable business in our line
without in some way infringing upon
the adverse laws that have been pass
ed. Heretofore, these laws have not
affected US so badly for the reason
that only in scattered territory were
they enforced. We have now receiv.
ed word that all of them will for the
next two years, or in any event. during
the term that William LANCER is at

in mind, it is considered tine that we

gal counsel has been arranged for and
