Do You Knit Sweaters for
the Kaiser?
By Caroline Ticknor of the Vigilantes.

just now there Is big drive on to
secure sweaters for our boys in camp,
and for those going off to France. Our
soldiers, who are going out to stand
between us and the guns, are cold. The
Red Cross is calling for million he'll
NETS and sweaters, and thousands of
devoted women are working overtime
trying to fill this great demand. Wool
is expensive, some of our women are
going without the things they want,
yes need, in order that trey may buy
it. Some of our women would gladly
knit il they could buy the necessary
wool but they have not the money.
And in the meantime there are thou
sands of women able-bodied, and we'll
to- do; knitting pro-German sweaters
for themselves. Knitting for Germany |!
A few days since visited the worst
ed counters of several Of our big de-
partment stores to get some wool to
finish soldiers sweater. Before these
counters 1 found that women were
lined up three-deep purchasing wool
and needles. I looked at them with
satisfaction; our women are certainly
awake to the needs OF our "bovs."
And then! I suddenly discovered
that they we're buying pale green, and
pinks, and blues, only one woman in
a dozen was calling for the gray, or
khaki.
These were the scraps Of converse
ton which greeted my astonished
ears: "I'm going to make mine yellow
trimmed with whitel" "Nell, you look
swell in green" give got a pattern
that fits me like a glove" "I've made
me a red one, and blue, and now
I'm going to make black"
turned away I'm wonder. l couldn't
at first understand. They were well
dressed, well-fed and seemingly intel
ligent and well-intentioned.
What was-.the explanation? There
must be some sufficient reason!
Suddenly, all in an instant, the an
swer was flashed upon me. "They are
knitting for Germany They're max
ing sweaters for the Kaiser!" Pm
glad none OF my friends are doing it,
II you know anyone who is, just tel
her that Major Murphy, Red Cross
commissioner in Paris, has cabled
"We need at once 1 10000 sweaters
$780, 900 mufflers, 100000 pairs o
socks, 1900 900 wristlets-they mus
come before cold weather. Everyone
here looks to America! We urge you
on behalf OF our soldiers and those o
our allies who will suffer in their froz
en- trenches and also on behalf Of thou
sands of French and Belgian refugee
-"Begin shipping at once"

EMPRESS.

a marvellous bill of entertaining lea
lures will be provided next week at the
Empress Thcater. 1t is one of those
programs of which the management
states that it is genuinely proud. 1t is
filled with the promise of good, sub
Stantial, classy vaudeville, marked by
wide variety of amusement quality and
hearty enJoyabllity, as well as up-to-
dateness. This splendid arrangement OF
brilliant acts will be headed by one OF
the most sensationally successful attrac-
tions of the season, in the person of
Grace Gibson the gloriously gifted girl
of gladsomeness and gayety. Miss Glib
son has been justly called the beautiful
star of merry song. She is more than a
star-she is flashing meteor; and her
trumphs have been so pronounced in
the leading vaudeville theaters of the
country that after playing one engage
ment in them she has returned after an
interval OF only a few weeks, so COM
pletely had she charmed their audiences.
She has a personality of rare magnet
ism, splendid voice and wears gowns
that make men, as well as women, gasp.
She will be a Veritable sensation at the
Empress next week, without a doubt.
On the wondrous program for next
week, in addition to Grace Gibson, there
will be several acts which are widely
recognized for merit. Among them is
that of Jack Levy and his Symphony
Girls who are genuinely superb study
in rich harmony. There is a distinc-
ton and an unusualness about these
talented players that give them head
line honors, and their program combines
all that is delightful in melody.
Another attraction OF international
fame is that of the -Four Charles, who
have won celebrity both in Europe and
America, for their richly staged eXposi-
ton OF fun and eXpertness. They are
| jugglers, they are acrobats, but they are
altogether different from any that thi:
city has seen, and they combine Laughs
and dexterity with a smartness and
splendor of stage surrounding tha
makes audiences grow enthusiastic ant
applaud with vigor.
The bill also includes Weston ant
Young, in "A Modern Comedy Flirta
tom" the Musical Kuehns, in "daintil
different doings," and Fred and Eva M
zart, presenting "Eleine and Stein
Showed In,' and the funny feature films

CINCO CIGARS
The Cigarmakers of Lancaster, Pa,
issue Another Statement.

The locked out Cinco cigarmakers OF
Lancaster, Pa, since the beginning Of
this year are waging the strongest fight
ever against their former employers,
Otto Eisenlohr Bros. Inc, for decent
humane conditions. The firm just a
short while before their inhuman treat
ment of their cigarmakers formed a cor
poration capitalized at nine million dol
lars. Tactics unthought Of before has
been eXtorted to not only at their Lam
caster factory but in their other nine
teen factories in the First and Ninth In
ternal revenue districts Of Pennsylva-
MIA. Nictimization for the slightest
provocation seems to be their weapon
to drive their employees into subjection
for cheaper wages or unscrupulous con-
ditions. Six cigarmakers at Reading,
Pa, and eight at York, Pa, working in
their factories were discharged for
merely speaking to their fellow work
men about what was a beneficial matter
concerning their trade. This action has
posed of delegates from each local union
where an Eisenlohr factory is located.
By this plan many movements are being
inaugurated to bring this firm to their
senses to cause settlement with their
grieved and ill-treated cigarmakers at
Lancaster, Pa. Two organizers have
been placed in the field, public meetings
are being held nightly somewhere in the
Il i;ct
Many cigarmallers have joined the un-
ion. Letters and cards OF sympathy are
being sent out to the twenty-eight thou
from every union member throughout
the United States and Canada.
This much misused power by the con-
Germ can be attributed to their chain fac
tory system This method is operated
for location to establish a factory the
/ best inducements are offered in the way
of steady work, good working material
and liberal rules, till they have per-
manently situated factory. These were
the first conditions given at Lancaster,
the last were short stock, stringent rules
with threats that the factory would be
moved from the town if the bosses i'm
positions were not adhered to which
was carried out Such is the situation
in most towns in Eastern Pennsylvania
where large manufacturers operate thei
industrial plants the fear of losing tow
industry. also their job keeps the work
ers at the mercy of their employers tC
exploit as they see fit. The cigarmak
ers of Lancaster have taken the frs
step against this nefarous system, be-
lieving the chain factories are one OF
the biggest problems that confronts or
eanized labor to solve. Upon this as
sumption the entire movement is being
appealed to for cooperation and assist
anCe.

ADJUSTMENTS
LYRIC.


Unusual interest is being focused in
the Forthcoming engagement at the
Lyric Iheater, beginning next Sunday
evening, of Lew Fields in Bosom
Friends" principally for the reason that
the occasion will mark the first appear
ance in this city of the famous comedian
in a semi-serious role after devotinp a
Lifetime to the entertainment of the
public in the character of buffoon.
The dramatic critics of the country for
years have been imploring Mr.. Fields to
reveal his dramatic ability in something
more pretentiouS than musical comedy.
Not only have the critics been anxious
to see Mr.. Fields in a more serious
mood, but it also developed that the
comedian himself has been secretly
nourishing an ambition to appear in
character comedy. Only the inability
to secure proper vehicle has DELAYED
his appearance until this time, but now
in Bosom Friends" he has the long
sought medium Written by Frank
Mandel Pacific Coast newspaper man.
Bosom Friends" which is best describ-
ed as a comedy with heart interest, pre-
sents him in role which is peculiarly
fitted to his personality although it was
not written expressly for him. The
piece was staged by Robert Milton by
arrangement with David Belasco and is
SAID to be the biggest success Mr. Fields
has ever enjoyed
The company engaged to support Mr..
Fields is one of unusual excellence and
includes such artists as Nine. Mathilda
Cottrelly, Kathleen Comegys, Helen Rel
mer, Jean Shelby, Walter Walker,
Frank Sylvester, Robert Hudson, Philip
Perry and others.
This CITY is one of the few places
that Mr., Fields and Bosom Friends"
will visit as the the attraction is en-
route for Chicago where it is scheduled
to open in February and to remain for
the balance of the theatrical year. 1t
will not be seen in New York until the
season of 1917-1S.

"The reason for the shops going onto
