 mond and march positions lower down the James river. The Richmond populace hailed the re- trograde as sign of defeat and were glad to see the enemy go. But when the Confederate leaders, caught una wares, discovered the new positions taken up by the enemy they realized that they had been outgeneraled. While hugging the works at Richmond with exposed lines of communication with their distinct bases the Federals in both cases were at a disadvantage. But based on the James river within striking distance of the enemy capital they could and did defy attack. The German retreat from the Peronne-Ba- paume front was puzzle to military experts. Held on as long as the line served a purpose worth the price" is the most conservative neutral con- ment. To shorten the line and spare troops is a plausible explanation and one not involving an admission of weakness The great salient was not in the original line taken up by Won Moltke in 1914, but was made under his successor, Won Falkenhayn. It might have had strategic value in 1915 which would fade in 1917. Events have radically changed the grand strategy of the German chief of staff. And new events must furnish explana- tion of Il move which the expert of the New York Tribune, who has twice visited the allied front ill France, called "the most successful retreat in history" Safe withdrawal in the presence of the enemy on an extensive front is a masterpiece of tactics. Air scouting should make it more difficult now than ever before.

Can there be any part of the country where an adequate test of loyalty can only be made through the signing of a docu- ment? Has it come to the point where the alienists find it incumbent to put the hypothetical question to the people in order to test their national sanity? The loyalty of Americans in the present or any other crisis is just about as debatable as a self evident truth. Meanwhile there Is no occasion for referendum on loyalty, and incl dentally much white paper can be con- served to advantage, considering the shortage" The Brooklyn Daily Times, published in the center of this agita- tion, recently counseled caution lest public sentiment be sadly divided in- stead of united for good by injecting the loyalty question at the wrong time. A stroke of the pen is easily made by trimmers, slackers and even traitors, and the heart behind the signature will not change with the act of mak- ing 1t.

surdity, the number of those who
played with Booth is growing each

with the white socks who can't realize
that George NJ Cohan had other equip

in the head. There is the freshly
starched young and old ingenue, with
the perspiring mommer. There is the

BROADWAY AND ELSEWHERE.

Augustus Thomas. It will be entitled
"The Copperhead," from which il is
safe to assume that it is not without
its political aspects. John D. Williams,
who by his production OF Justice" sc-
quired a standing as a manager which
not even "Our Betters" could obliter-
ate. will make the production. Also on
Mr.. Willisms's books is Somerset
Maugham's latest comedy, this one be-
ing entitled Love in a Cottage"
Margaret Anglin's plans, also
strangely omitted, embrace a trio Of
new plays. The drama which Rupert
Hughes fashioned from Gertrude
Atherton's novel, Perch Of the
Devil" was tried in Chicago last
season and found wanting, so Miss
Anglin will offer "Getters and Givers,"
a comedy by Hubert Footner, and pos
sibly "The Broken Gate" and 1.-The Pot
of Shamrock" which are, respectively,
drama and comedy. There also is a
legend that the coming season will
find Miss Anglin under the manage
ment of Mr. Tyler, but it is as yet IN
confirmed.
The past week has brought the in
teresting and important news that Mrs.
Fiske will be a Tyler-Klaw and Err
LANCER satellite hereafter. A change
of some sort was naturally inevitable,
her previous managerial firm hav-
ing quietly but firmly dissolved part
nership. Her new piece is "The Belle"
a comedy Of the South by Mrs. Cath
crime Chisholm Cushing which is re-
ported to give the star the high comedy
opportunity in which she revels and
excels.
Also during the past week Arthur
Hopkins finally acquired the theatre
for which he has been angling these
many months. Mr.. Hopkins's increased
and generally successful activities have
lately made his own theatre a neces-
sity, and for time it appeared likely
that he would obtain the Hudson. But
he has instead taken over one Of the
two houses which the Shuberts are
building just west of the Shubert and
the Booth. The new Hopkins theatre is
the one fronting on Forty-ffth Street,
and is presumably the house which was
to have had William Faversham as its
tenant this year, since the other is in
tended for musical productions. 1t will

Raymond Hitchcock, the announcement
further insists, will be in the show.
Not only has a Hitchcockian part been
written for him, but he is declared to
have signed contract.
In discussing the situation some time
ago Hitchcock said that he had signed
half a contract" which undoubtedly
meant that he had signed with Mr.
Dillingham; but not with Mr.. Ziegfeld.
The success of "Hitchy-Koo" has fired
the comedian with a desire to show it
around the country, and not many days
ago he was still DESTROYS Of breaking
off his Century entanglements. The
rest remains to be seen. Meanwhile,
the Century will open in all its glory
in September-with Urban, Kirchner,
Ned Wayburn, and all.
