NATIONS IN CONFERENCE

The war is throwing the nations together in groups
for conference and united action in a manner never be-
Iore seen. The four European central powers have prac-
tically since the beginning of the war been dominated
by the leadership and direction of Germany. Germany
Is the big member Of the federation, and the world now
recognizes quite clearly that this war is in reality a war
for and against the ideals Of government which have
found their fullest realization in the German autocracy.
In a very real sense it is Germany against the world.
And, trailing in the wake of Germany, subordinated to
German ambition, is the vast conglomerate, the Austro-
Hungarian empire, that deplorable relic of past ages,
the Turkish empire, and little Bulgaria. whose monarch
has long been recognized as one Of the most adept trick
sters in Europe.
On the other hand. We have those democracies IN
which the spirit of popular government has found gen.
eral or moderately wide expression. At the beginning
of the war there was frequent comment on the incongru-
ity of associating Russia, with her despotism, with the
other members of this group. But the democratic spirit
which has long existed in Russia has found expression
in a manner which surprised most of us, and Russia
bids fair to become, in the very near future, a staple re-
public, both in form and in spirit, and to stride rapidly
in the direction Of real and substantial progress.
Washington is now the scene of a gathering unique
In the history of America. We have been accustomed
to see representatives Of the continental powers meeting
for conferences of various kinds. The balance Of power
was a little thing, requiring much ingenuity to maintain
1t. Hence the heads Of governments, or their represen-
tatives. We're in frequent conference.
But until now We have taken no part in these coun-
ellis. Suddenly We find ourselves in the very center of
things. ."e foreign minister of Great Britain and the
head OF the French war council are guests in our capital,
each with his encourage of distinguished men. They are
here for the purpose of arranging war policies which in
clude not only the use of men and material in the field,
but the utilization of all the resources of this nation. in
conjunction with the resources of our allies, in crushing
the military. power of the enemy against whom we are
arrayed.
To those who shirk from full cooperation with those
who are fighting in this war with us, and who have in
sisted that no alliances Of any kind should be formed,
and that we should conduct a little private war of our
own against Germany. without reference to the move
ments of other nations, it may be replied that such a
policy would be both foolish and disastrous. We went
into this war seriously because We were obliged to do so
or to confess ourselves an impotent nation, unworthy
the respect of the world. And having entered. it is our
manifest duty to take such steps and make such COM
binations as will bring the war to an end most quickly,
most certainly and most successfully for the cause which
we have at heart.

Englishman and the Prussian express
Ing the same idea. Referring to
Americas participation, Mr.. Asquith
said: II do not use language or fat

Macmillan Harden among Ger
mans is ina million. perhaps, yet
insofar as he credits the United States
with no selfish material motive and
no sordid aim in going to war he
states a plain fact which we, as Amer
leans, have a right to emphasize. No

LABOR AND CONSUMPTION

The Chicago Trades council, with a membership of
10000, has declared in favor of CONSUMPTION as a means
for raising an army. This action is decidedly different
from the attitude generally attributed to organized labor.
So far as information has been made public it seems that
most of the labor unions are inclined TO oppose conscrip-
ton. But the action Of the Chicago organization is con-
elusive evidence that the sentiment in this direction Is
by no means unanimous. It may be that when the whole
field is checked over it will be found that the sentiment
against CONSUMPTION among labor unions is very much
less general than has been supposed.

MORE REFERENDUM BOSH

Senator LaFollette now proposes that the question
OF raising an army by the CONSUMPTION or the volunteer
endum.
There has been enough referendum foolishness. W.
are at war. We need an army, and we need 1t now.
Every day spent unnecessarily in discussion is a day
wasted. and that waste tends to prolong the war another
day. That means more treasure expended, more lives
lost, both for ourselves and for our neighbors.
We have a government with ample powers. Let
our government go ahead and govern. Let it take coun-
sci Of the experience OF other nations and learn what
errors to avoid. II it does that 1t will adopt CONSUMPTION
as the only logical and effective means Of raising an army
But. II 1T does not choose to follow that course, let it
then accept the responsibility Of following the opposite
one. But at any rate let it act, and act promptly and
forcefully. Talk Of referendums under the circumstances
Is twaddle.
AS for Senator LaFollette. he appears to be engaged
in the somewhat hopeless task Of putting together the
fragments Of a broken bubble.

LOVE OF HOME DRIVES
ACTRESS TO PICTURES

The fireside and home and the chub-
by little arms of wee loved ones
played important parts in Miss Ethel
Barrymore's desertion of the footlights
Tor the motion picture studio.
As Miss Barrymore herself says: "I
love the stage; my babyhood was
practically spent in a dressing room. but
my two children are now at an age
when they need a mothers care. The
footlights have always been a fascina-
ton and always viii be. but after my
long tour in Mrs. McChesney" over
the country, the call OF home and
children proved too alluring. Rather
than have the American public forget
me altogether, upon the advice OF my
husband and my managers, I elected
to go into pictures permanently"
Miss Barrymore first appeared on the
dramatic stage as Katherine in Henry
Guy Carleton's THE Independent
Young Person" at the Empire Theater,
New York. September %. 1895. with
John Drew. her uncle, and Miss Maude
Adams in the cast. Afterward she ap-
peared with John Drew and the EN-
pire Stock Company
THE White Raven is the first pic
ture Miss Barrymore made after she
decided to abandon the speaking stage.

RUSE SECURES TICKETS,
CHARGE OF THEATERS.
Arrest Made for Impersonation of
Newspaper Editor.

New York, Jan. 1.-An organized sys-
tenn Of swindling the New York press
agents in obtaining tickets to the attrac-
tions they represent was brought to light
last week by the arrest Of Sydney Cohen
on the charge Of obtaining two seats from
the George NJ. Cohan Theater by repre-
senting himself to be John r. Hastings.
managing editor of the Evening Journal.
According to the police, when Cohen
was arrested he said he was one of
twelve boys employed by a man who had
them telephone the various arrangements
for tickets and represented themselves to
be newspaper men. The salary the boy
said they received was 81 day. Cohen
had five pairs of seats for different the
aters when he was placed under arrest
and there were two more waiting for him
at the Globe
Marc Klaw, representing the United
Managers Association, engaged Attorney
Lyon johnson to press the case, in the
belief that the boys story is substantially
correct and that the names Of reputable
newspaper men were being used In
systematic scheme to swindle them. The
matter has also been laid before the dis
trict attorney
HAYDEN Talbot, press representative at
the Cohan Theater. stated that the same
person had called him up every night for
the last two weeks and requested tickets.
Each time the man at the other end of
the wire said he was a newspaper man.
He mentioned a different paper each night
as the one with which he was connected.
When he said that he was the managing
editor Of the Evening Journal Mr.. Talbot
asked him his initials, and these were
given wrong. On calling for the tickets
Cohen was arrested.
A boy, whose pockets were filed with
letters to all the theaters on the station
ary of a well-known weekly paper, called
al the Cohan Theater recently. The let
ter requested two seats. When the press
agent said he would send the tickets the
boy said the editor had commissioned
him to get them.
