WALL ST. ALARMED AT PLANS
FOR FINANCING WAR
New York, April a. \ Wall street
believes Sec'y McAdoo should call a
general conference of experienced
bankers to devise ways and means
of financing war with Germany.
Plans for sale of bonds, with no
remuneration for service, already are
being made Wall street is thinking
of war, not in millions, but in billions
of dollars.
Wall street does not take kindly to
the presidents ''pay-as-we-gO" plan
of financing the war, and it is deadly
opposed to the plan for putting the
burden of financing the war upon the
rich by heavy taxes on corporation
profits, munitiOn making profits and
big individual incomes.
1t is history that the very wealthy
grow wealthier much more quickly
during war times, while the poor
grow poorer. Wall street does not
wish the burden of war taxation
shifted from the backs of the poor
and the middle-class people who
have heretofore always carried it.
The big money street is fiag-be-
decked with colOrs almost touching
across the street. This is considered
a manifestation Of patriotism, by
some it is considered a rejoicing at
great profits to come if war is de-
clared and the bankers can prevent
in some way the putting into effect
of the administrations plan to make
the rich and the war profiteers pay
the cost Of war.

SAN QUENTIN SEEMS DOOMED
WITHIN TWO MILES OF 1T
London, April 4.-Perfect cO-Ordi
nation between French and British
forces smashed allied ring Of steel
still closer to st. Quentin today.
While British tented, as if in contin-
uatibn of their assumption of initia-
tive during past few days, French
suddenly drove great thrust forward
on front of eight miles south of st.
Quentin and captured three villages
and a dominating series of heights
two miles distant from town. Then
British resumed their steady pound
ing at German lines.
1t is a race between the British and
French forces now to see which will
take city first. They are almost
equally distant. British have a scant
few hundred yards advantage and,
like Gen. NiveIe's troops, also hold
dominating ridge. Both armies were
reported today to be pushing steadily
ahead.

FJJCFNE WALTER ON ACTING

There was no time for them TO obtain.
The modern director is the product Of
the commercial theatre. He has been
made possible by the manager who can
not put on "a play himself And the d.
rector proceeds TO try TO get tone
out Of the instrument that is not ia it,
and 10 art or science in the world was
ever fostered under such conditions.
"A director should be really "a d.
rector, not a teacher. He should be
constructive critic. David Belasco, one
of the greatest Of all directors, gets
everything that he can from his players
before he begins to tell them thing.
For the first two OF three weeks he IS
not even present at rehoarsals. unless
he happens TO be secretcd IN the gal
lery. He then takes charge, but he
merely rehnes that which has been
done. lie does not attempt 20 have 1T
done in an entirely different manner.
Any company Of players, cropping by
itself for a few weeks, is bound 20 get
results if the play has a story TO tell
THE stock company is an excellent
example Of this. The manuscript which
is sent TO them is not marked by any
director. and yet, II it is an interesting
play. they are able TO interest an audi
ence in it And it is performance
prepared by them in single week,
while they arc playing other roles Do
the evenings.
Positions on the stage are not in
tcrestinC to an audience. The director
should allow his people TO fa. into
such positions as seem natural to them,
taking care only that they do not inter
fcre with the audiences line Of vision,
or get in each others way, or get into
some position which is absolutely detri-
mental TO the particular dramatic situa-
ton.
"The scenic production is almost
equally unimportant. Il am speaking
now Of ordinary plays, not spectaclesJ
The binding of book has nothing to
do with its merit, and it is so with
scenery. SO long as a production IS
reasonably pleasing, and not absolutely
offensive, it will not retard the success
Of play which tells an interesting
story.
But ! am speaking in the main for
the actor. Let him alone, let him do
things in his own way, and You "II!

THE INTERNATIONAL DRAMA

Of the theatre and its very strong act
ual tendency \ few years ago tho
American dramatist had very little
chance IN the commercial theatre.
Good and bad plays. mostly bad ones,
Rave boon taken from Europe. and. IN
n crippled state. adjusted to Broadway
audiences. The condition is entirely
changed by now. and the catchword is:
American plays only. There has lately
been propaganda of this sort, very often
led By newcomers in this country and
those who want to fattcr the present
mood. They want to ban the European
drama only because it is foreign.
To my knowledge there are only good
plays and bad plays. A really good
play based on American life would be
just as fascinating TO European au-
d.ences and interesting from all points
OF view as )uc Of their own good plays.
am sure there are poets and play
vrights in this country who have Won

time will come. but the present vogue
