SOCIAL AND PERSONAL,

Havrah Hubbard, lecturer and musical critic who has become an an nual visitor to the Wednesday Must cal club gave a splendid talk yester- day afternoon on "Lohengrin," by Wagner. MT. Hubbard has the unique power of so suggesting a scene that It is set wildly before the eyes of the audience. His unusual voice, with which he almost attains singing, adds much to the beauty and dramatic value of the opera. He prefaces his reading of the work with a brief his- tory of the composer as we'll as some thing of the historical setting of the opera itself The motifs are explain ed and illustrated. One of the pleas urable features of the talk is that the reading of the opera is always in English verse, a subject upon which MT. Hubbard feels strongly, advocat- Ing that the operas should be sung in English. On the whole one comes away from MT. Hubbard's talks hay ing had almost as much enjoyment and gained a great deal more under standing than at the actual produc- tion of the opera
 MT. Hubbard's talk was greatly en- hanced by the accompaniment of Claude Gotthelff, a young Danish pianist who not only illustrated the lecturers words with the music, but was heard in two solo numbers, ''Walderauschen'' by Liszt and Sixth Hungarian Rhapsodie," by Liszt which were heartily applauded.

Colonel Suggested Subject Could Be Made Into Play That Would Sweep
 Nation Off It's Feet.

It was Colonel Roosevelt who fore saw more than a year ago that some drastic action would be necessary to bring the citizens of the United States to the realization that their country was absolutely unprepared for even a defensive war. With his military training Colonel Roosevelt knew the truth. He knew that New York city, south of Fourteenth street, could be blown off the face of the earth and not shot could be fired in defence of the metropolis of the United States that would have the faintest chance of hitting the foe.
 With his usual energy Colone! Roosevelt started to find a remedy. He decided that motion pictures were the most widely read publicity in the world. So he decided that motion pie lures were the medium to be used to arouse the citizens from their lethagy and impress upon them the importance of saving their country and their homes. :% ~
 Colonel Roosevelt got into communi- cation with Commodore J. Stuart Rlackton, director general of the Greater Vitagraph company, himself versed in military tactics and also ac- quainted with the wonderful weak de- fensive position of not only New York city, but of the entire Atlantic and Pacific seaboards.
 "By love" Colonel Roosevelt is quoted as telling Commodore Black ton, "you should make a picture that will just take the people off their feet. Show them what will happen if an enemy attacks New York. Knock the city to ruins. Show our popula- tion fleeing in one mad panic stricken, disorganized mob before the advance of the invaders"
 The quoted suggestions were made twelve months ago. Commodore Blackton and Dr. Cyrus Townsend Brady, the well-known writer, collab orated on the story and as a result Commodore Blackton produced "Wo- manhood, the Glory of the Nation" acknowledged to be the present Com modore Blackton's greatest effort as a director of motion pictures.
 The film story will be in Pine Bluff this week. to beshown at the Hauber theatre Monday, Tuesday and We'd nesday. Perhaps such a subject never before was filmed, and certainly such

 Virtually all of these men of mil lions give in the neiehborhood 1t $1,000 to such merciful enterprises, which is manifestly disgraceful tc themselves and reflection upon th.' good name of Americans.

 How different is the outlook tc. specting a man who iasn't made a cent from munitions, but whose hrar' has been touched to the extent os giving $1,000,000 to the sufferine Jews of Poland and Russia-Julius Rosenwald of Chicago. This man whose gift brought fcrth a highly commendatory letter from Presiden. Wilson, does not possess so many millions of dollars that million less isn't felt.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN RUSSIA

Simultaneous with tJc announce ment that the Russian people now possess religious freedom, comes the naive statement that the Russians likewise no longer need to atten church under compulsion.
 This applies particularly to the army, it seems. The Russian soldier rot even considered a citizen by the old czardom regime, had to conform to religious rites and go to church regularly.
 Religious freedom t. the Russian soldier and the Russian people, it seems, may mean tha. the churches Of the domain will not be as full of more CT less devout worshipers as in the past. But. man who only enters a church when forced to do SC by the governmental powers is ] poor church-goer. He is better off outside-and so is the church.
 Russia is free to work out it's own salvation-with the hep of her allies One of the great works of the century is to make of Russia a great republic.

Mankind Is Chief Host
OF Infantile Paralysis

New York, Feb. 25.-After an exhaustive
study of the manner in which infantile
paralysis is transmitted, DR.. Hans Zinsser
professor of bacteriology in the College
of Physicians and Surgeons. has reached
the conclusion that only one means of
transmission is relatively important-that
through man.
DR.. Zinsser. in his study of the methods
of transmission of the disease. says that
such Transmission may be either direct
or indirect. the more deadly effect being
when the disease is indirectly transmitted.
Intestinal infection with food is a mode
of transmission, the Importance of which
DIR. Zinsser. as the result Of his ex-
periments, is ready to discount. Monkeys
have been inoculated with the disease in
this manner only with difficulty. Infec-
ton by means of inhaling the dried virus,
contained in the dust. especially in the
air of sick rooms, is also possible, accord
ing to DIR. Zinsser. but again he thinks It
contributes but small share of the
