excellent variety, including comedy.
dancing, singing and novelty acts. Be-
sides each Of the performers possess
the proper portion of talent. We are
particularly pleased by the variety it
offers. Usually there are so many du-

either gets overloaded with songs,
dances, or some one of the other fea-
lures. and that one fact is responsible

Mayor Mitchell sent letter to Gov

him to veto the bill which tends to
limit the enforcement of orders by the

unjust to subscribers within the lily

BY FRED Il. PITNEY

Paris, May 5.-Nothing since the be-
ginning of the war has given France
and the French people so much unadul-
terated pleasure as the reception ac-
corded to the French mission in Amer
lea. One expected the American en-
thusiasm to give pleasure here, but one
was very far from expecting the I'M
bounded Joy that has been manifested.
II comes down, / think, to the fact
that, while 1t was nowhere admitted, it
was universally realized that the Euro
pean nations-both the Central En-
pires ard the Allies-were worn down
to a point where decisive victory was
not possible unless new blood, a new
and untouched power, lent its force to
enc side or the other, and that which
ever side received that new force would
be the victor. With the coming in Of
America OH the side of the Allies
France feels that the Allies will be the
victors. Without America there would
be no vctors.
Take the matter of men alone. A
year ago figures were produced in tho
Chamber of Deputies showing that
France had given one in six of her pop
ulation to the armies. The 1917 class
was called up a year ahead of time and
was thrown into the Battle OF the
Somme last July. The 1918 class has
been called up and is now in training.
These boys will 60 into the trenches
this summer. The 1918 class produced
less than 100000 new men.
Patriotic Frenchmen will talk 10 one
about the numbers who volunteered be-
fore they were called up, but the fact
remains that France, on account OF the
previous drain on her population, has
been able to produce less than 100000
new soldiers this year, and this year
will sec the hardest fighting OF any
year of the war yet, and the year of the
greatest losses for the Allies. for this
year the Allies are the attacking force.
France Has Enough Men
France has enough men to-day. She
will have enough men during the next
six months, for during that time the
1918 class will be prepared and take its
place in the line. But by the end OF
six months she will not have enough
men and she will not be able to produce
them.
Then there is the question of NUM-
tions. France is making cannon and
shells to-day in numbers that are fam
tastic, and she can continue her pro-
duction at the present rate for approx
mate!y three months, but no longer. At
the end of that time her production
will begin to fall away very rapidly
for lack of raw material, and adequate
supplies of raw material from overseas
can be obtained only provided the Ger
man submarine warfare shall be de.

Rosencrantz house was the scene OF
many stirring adventures.
The "ghost" is that of Hessian Of

Rev. Kenneth Guthrie Urges
Collection of Local Relics

New York's relics Of its Dutch set
tiers will be brought together in a mu-
scum if a plan outlined by the Rev.

Church, Scanned and Henry streets, is
carried into execution.
DR.. Guthrie pointed out the value of
such museum at the ninety-third an

People Believe United States Is in the War to

feated. France and England are both
doing their utmost against the SUBJ
marines, but France and England alone
cannot beat the submarines. There are
not enough small boats in the two
countries to do the needed patrol ser
vice. So France looks to America to
solve the submarine problem.
L. S. Must Furnish Ships
Merchant shipping is being destroyed
faster than it is being built, and France
and England cannot increase their pro-
duction enough to make up the vast
age. There are not enough ships on
the ocean to carry the worlds COM
merce. There are not enough IN eX-
istence at the present moment to sup
ply the needs Of France and England,
running free without the submarine
warfare. 1t is only America that can
make up this lack of shipping.
There is lack of food and lack
of coal'in France. The lack of coal
is the more serious to-day. The lack
of food will become the more serious
in very snort time. The warm
weather is upon US, when private lam,
lilies will not need so much coal, ana

greater part be turned over to the
munitions factories. The coal question
will resolve itself for the day and be-
come a problem OF the reserve stocks
for next winter 1t will not be less
serious on that account; it will only
not be so momentarily pressing.
The food problem becomes daily more
pressing, and the approach of warm
weather does not bring even momen-
tary relief. There is not enough grain
and there is not enough meat. The
French cattle herds have been SO re-
duced since the war began that they
can no longer supply the demands OF
the country. The German submarines
have cut off the supply of imported
meat, and the country has had to be
put on meat ration that VIII soon
