AT THE DAVIS THEATRE Neil O'Brien and His Minstreis.

Once again the patrons of the Davis theatre were favored by a visit from Neil O'Brien and his minstrel troupe who appeared before the footligkts at the Davis theatre on Tuesday evening. Better than ever was the prevailing opinion of those who filled the thea tre. Although the minstreis have been seen in this city several times during the past two or three years their mus ical numbers, scenery and comedy sketches were entirely new and there was a general nurmur of approval when the curtain arose on the opening chorus. The stage setting was elab- crate and the electrical effects couiG, hardly have been improved on. The first part of the programme was de- voted wholly to the n1insrrels. The ballad, All I Want Is Ireland, by Earl Homes, made a hit with the audience. Other vocal numbers that proved fa- vorites were Lookout Mountain by Leslie Berry, My Hawaii You're Call ing Me. by J. Lester Habarkorn. It's @ Long Way Back to Mothers Knee by James Baradi, while Red Cross Nurse by William Carr 6 Co.. who in troduced a military tableau, brought down the house. Among the come dians who appeared to advantage were Eddie Ross. Joe Willard. Dave Hutch, Ray Walker, Ed Walker, Joe Coffman, Steve Werner and William Doran-
 Part II. of the programme opened with Mandy's Syncopated Reception. The sketch was admirably carried out and the specialties were loudly ap- plauded. A sketch, In the Secret Ser vice, with Neil O'Brien in the leading role, provided comedy in plenty. Talk ing part in this sketch with MT. o. Rrien were Dave Futch. Leslie Berry and tiny Major Nowak.
 Eddie Ross. who is half the show. appeared next Ably assisted by his African harp. NIT. Ross entertained the audience with comedy vocal se- lections, banjo numbers, humorous stories and concluded with 9 whistling solo, using his double whistle to ad- vantage.
 The closing sketch was The Cruise of the Ebony Yacht Club. featured with remarka ble scenic effects and harmony of. the highest order.

RED CROSS DRIVE
 COMES THIS MONTH
Local Chapter Hopes to Double It's
 Present Membership.

During the week December 17th to December e4th, a Red Cross campaign to double it's membership will be launched by the Norwich Chapter and 8 special committee has been appoint ed to take charge of the drive. Speak ing of the coming campaign, Rev. Jo- scph II. Seiden. chairman of the local chapter, said on Tuesday:
 The Red Cross is the most won 6ierful volunteer organization in the world. It's work is recognized and en- dorsed by the governments of the fore most nations, and commands the con fidence and support of right minded men and women everywhere. The growth of the Red Cross in the United States during the past eight months has been notable. Its membership has increas sed from 100000 to over five millions. The scope of it's enterprise beyond the seas, especially in France, is very wide.
 But the movement of events in re- cent weeks has shown the necessity of an extension of the WorK of the Red Cross far larger than could be forseen as our country entered the war.
 The work from December 17th to December 24th is to be devoted to a nationwide campaign for an enlarged membership. This must be Rec Cross Christmas!
 The Norwich chapter will join ir this Christmas campaign. The pres ent membership of the Red Cross ir Norwich is over 4.000. This number should be doubled.
 The canvas will be in charge Of 8 special committee: Rev. Charles H Ricketts, Mrs. r. A. Mitchell, H. A Tirrell, Robert McNeeIy and Herman Alofsin End.

or brokers for those blaclllisted-
 No Excuses Will Be Accepted.
 Tn issuing the enemy trading list of Gcials make it plain that it cannot be made complete and that those ner- chants trading with enemy firms not named in it are in no measure relieV- ed from prohibitions and penalties contained in the trading with the enc my act It is considered ccrtan. how ever, that until all sections of the list have been issued the law of necessity will be enforced with some degree of iaXity. Although innocence of wrong ful intent does not excuse violation of the law, officials see that many firms are likely to trade with concerns which might be classed as enemy houses before full information is ob- tained, and within a short time to other countries Additions and vaTi- aticns will be published probably twice a month.
 Issuance of the list recalled the wig orous protest made by this govern nent to Great Britain when the first British blacklist, containing the names of many American firms, first was published. The British reply, how eyer, was considered in many quar- ters here as establishing the legality of the action. The negotiations we're in abeyance when the question was eliminated by the entry of the United States into the war. The British war office stood upon it's contention that the measure was purely a municipal regulation prohibiting residents of Great Britain from trading with per sons found to be rendering service to the enemy.
 Greatest Number in Brazil.
 Most of the firms named in the sec ton of the list issued tonight bear German names, although others evil iently are of English. Spanish, French and Portuguese derivation. The list as it applies to Brazil contains the greatest number of firms, with Mexi- co second.
 The announcement of the list said it was issued at the urgent request of Americans engaged in foreign trade who sought government guidance in their efforts to observe the law.
 The proposition of the trading with the enemy act under which the list is issued, reads:
 Act Authorizing War Board.
 "It shall be unlawful for any per- son in the United States, except with the license of the president, as pro- vided in this act. to trade or attempt to trade, either directly. or indirectly, with, to. from, or for. or on account of, or on behalf of. or for the bene- fit of. any other person. with knowl-
