The Palace Pleases

Patrons of the Palace Theatre will
find several numbers to warm up to
this week. Among them are the eX-
cellent war films depicting the "Re-
treat of the Germans at the Battle Of
Arras," 1.-THE Naughty Princess" de-
scribed as a farcical operetta in five
scenes, and Robert Edeso1 and COM
pany III a playlet entitled Flying Ar
row." Wellington Cross also pleases
especially with TWO or three nifty lit
tie songs.
The operetta might be taken seri-
ously as parody on current musical
comedy. IL is crammed with surprising
If vaguely related incidents, the scenes
showing 1.-THE Flames OF Hades,' The
War-Ridden Map of Europe I'm the
Flames of Hades," "A Honeymoon Cot
tage at Palm Beach" THE Interior OF
HONEYMOON Cottage" The last scene
is reminiscent of Twin Beds" but not
unpleasantly so. The cast and chorus
are numerous and the musical numbers
plentiful.
The public are beginning TO GET ac-
cuhtomed to Mr.. Edeson as an Indian
and like him that way. There IS moth
ing very powerful about the little
drama. but it seemed to take. Mr.. Eide
sons costume shows unequlvocally
that his accent should not be taken
for County Clare. The other numbers
include Truly Shattuck and Emma
O'NeI. George White and Emma Haig
in "A Dance of IDEAS" and James and
Bonnie Thornton.

Seminary Girls at Columbia

REILLY and the Seminary Girls" are
at the Columbia this week, with Jack
Conway appearing as Reilly and the
remainder Of the cast furnishing the
inmates of the seminary.
The first scene was laid at the semi
nary, which was quite different from
all other seminaries, because strange
and often uncouth men wandered in
and out, the janitor used the front
door and entertained visitors on the
lawn and the college gowns were made
knee length and worn over pink tights.
But possibly whoever designed the
costumes was swayed by motives other
than those of holding the mirror up to
nature.
The chorus was much in evidence,
but not too much, as it is decidedly
good-looking chorus, which can dance
and sing. That is more than can be
said of some of the principals.

had been delivered in bulk to the Of
fees Of Daniel Kiefer, and from there
transferred to the Odd Fellows Temple.
The members Of the Peoples Council
were urged to get q supply OF the
speeches and mail them around the
country.
In speech made before the Phils-
delphia branch of the Peoples Council
July q. Kiefer said:
1--WE are at war, not because we
are attacked, but because certain
persons with authority wish to have
u. at war, regardless Of necessity
and regardless Of the popular wishes.
We have been told that it is war
for democracy. Well, any people
that are determined to have democ-
racy can have it without war. When
Russia definitely decided to send the
Gar a-packing she did not need t?
wait for a victory over Germany to
do so. She simply sent him away.
We can get democracy in the United
States, too, whenever We get as ready
for it as Russia is"

To the farmers it says:
"Your toll feeds war. The food
you win from Nature by hours OF
WEAKNESS, in cold and hest, is no
longer coming back TO you in necessi-
ties and comforts. It is no longer
making easier the lot OF your fellow
men. YOU WANT PEACE!'
To the workers:
"Your labor pays the fna! cost OF
the war. You work harder. You get
less. Wages do no. meet the in
creased cost Of food. Your rights
are threatened. Congress hiss passed
a law that can stop strikes. War
means your work is wasted. YOU
WANT PEACE!"
To the liberals:
"War conscripts your minds and
hearts. The hard-won rights Of free
speech, free press and peaceful as
semblags are threatened with vio-
lence. At least eight radical papers
have been denied the use OF the
mails. War brushes criticism, halts
progress and enslayes the people.
YOU WANT PEACEr
The final declaration Of this lesfet Is
for revolution. IL is:
Together, Americans, we can
conquer war. Our hope lies in one
great body Of millions and millions
Of men and women, Joining their
economic power, their political pow
er, their brains and their money for
one supreme cause. The Russian
people rule. We can rule."

and declare it was mistake 70 get in

would be lost, but we could save our

Kiefer asked for the names OF all
the men who had registered under the
CONSUMPTION law. He said that the New
York Office wanted list of all those
who had registered, and would do
everything possible to prevent their
being taken FOR the army.

GOOD idea Of the manner OF
working OF the Peoples Coun-

Gil can be got from the organ
ization OF the Cincinnati branch. This
branch was organized in the Offices of
Colon Schott, lawyer, who has been
very pro-German in his talk about the
war. Another of the organizers was
Daniel Kiefcr, chairman of tho Fcls
Fund Commission, who is radical
Socialist and prominent in the struggle
against CONSUMPTION. Speeches were
made by Schott, Kiefer and others, ex-
planning that the object of the organ
ization was to prevent in every manner
possible the draft OF young men for
service in France. All men present
who had registered under the conscrip'
ton law were instructed to leave their
names with the secretary.
"Comrade" Rothenberg, of Cleveland,
one Of the organizers of the Socialist
party, made a speech in which he said
that this was a commercial war boosted
by Morgan and the munition manu-
factprers, while the lying press o. the
country was deceiving the people at
the orders of the government and the
milionaires. Men in power nigh, put

second run. There is no reason why
it should not prove popular again. IL

otherwise il would not satisfy New

in the last act, which is all that was
required TO bring the play up with

The Mount Pleasant women's bowling
team last night rolled the second half
of it's match with the Regents, the
champion women's Quint of Baltimore,
on the Regent alleys in Baltimore. The
Washington women won on the strange
alleys, scorig thirty-two pins more
than their opponents. In the three con-
tests rolled here two weeks ago the
Washingtonians finished with a mar
gin of seventy-nine pins in their favor.
Last nights advantage gives them the
victory in the whole match of six
games by III pins. Mrs. Malcolm was
the star of the rolling last night. her
set of 264 exceeding by considerable
the total got by any other member of
either team.
The Evening Star quint last night
rolled one of the best sets of the year
in the Commercial Duckpin League.

of 1,667, an excellent count for closed
