It's queer.
@It's funny"
ITS creepY."
ITS unusual"
All these remarks were heard at
the BelaSco Theater last night, when
Experience" returned to Washing
ton after years absence, following
fits successful two weeks run here
last season.
But after the final curtain had
fallen one would not have to strain
ears to hear expression Of the opin-
ion, as one gentleman emphatically
put it:
Its a great playw
That sums IT up. Experience" is
not an easy play to analyze. From
Its very Character, IT runs the whole
gAmut OF human emotions, and the
audience IFS swayed from wonder to
laughter, to tears, to loathing, TO
compassionate other moods as
Youth, the figure about whom the
play is built, battles his way through
the world
Youth loses-and wins. Drawn
from the quiet of the country by Am
bition, he Ducks" the city. Leaving
forthwith comes face to face with
Experience himself suave gentle
man who fulfills his promise to Youth
that ere long he will become his best
remembered friend. Youth himself
admits 1t before the final curtain has
dropped.
In the street of vacillation"
Youth lets Opportunity go by, as he
allows himself to be lured by Pleas
ure,. On the Primrose Path" he
meets Excitement, Travel and other
eharacters-al ably portrayed-and
findlly even Intoxication-and Pas
sion.
But soon Youths money is gone and
with II. his new-found friends. The
road down is easy to travel. Youth
takes 1t with Experience ever at his
heels. In the Corridors OF Chance,
the Street of Disillusion, the House
Of Last Resort, the Street OF Re-
morse, the House Of Lost Souls, are
the successive downward steps.
But Youth is not doomed to the
worst. Twice in the play. he is saved
from what seems certain failure. The
FIRST time is
not seen It will thank their stars
when they have. Those who have
already seen 1t are sure to go again.
As for the cast there can be lit
tie but praise. Ernest Glendinning
Is Youth is excellent. William In
Gersoll, as Experience, who ever fol-
lows Youth, is an able co-star. And
everyone else in the cast is good.

AS TO HOMEGROWN MUSIC.
Trcadwoll Alaska

Trcadwoll, Alaska,
 July 22, 19l7 Editor Douglas Island News:
 Commenting on the article in your paper of last Wednesday,, 18th inst, on Che subject of hiring "outside" music for Island dances | might ycn- ture Co say that the main reason why it is done is because tho music furn- ishcd by Che local musicians is n- comparably rotten" The why and wherefore is not to my knowledge. An that know is, that it is. lt is said that some of the musicians on the Island arc the best in Alaska. Not being one, am unable to judge. but if it is true ! feel sorry for those in other parts.
 To come Co cases, the music frn- ishcd at the Fourth of July dance was thc worst ! ever tried to dance to. And to prove that I am not alone in my contention, may say that before lI:OO o'clock Cwhcn l lefU ! had seen a number of people leave, some of them Co SO Co Juneau, others Co SO home. Four of them remarked Co me personally that they were lcay- ing because of Che music, the idcnt- cal reason for my departure It is Co be remembered that a charge Of 'SLOO was made for the dance. The persons who went to Juneau said that they danced to excellent music there.
 Various reasons are assigned Co Che failure" of the Trcadwcll Club dances. but | am prepared to say that the main reason was thc music. or rather. the lack of it. On the one or two instances when outside" mu- sic was employed, the comments and the comparisons on the change were certainly not favorable Co the Island musicians. Having attended dances on the Island more or less regularly, . | am at least in a position Co know ! thc attitude of others, if am not capable of Judging myself.
 Let che musicians here get to- gcthcr and practice occasionally, play some of the later pieces, and ! 1T thc people that pay for Che dances want drummer, it is up Co them to furnish what the people want, not what they think they ought to want. from Che musicians point of view. As am example, the music at the recent Red Cross dance was very good. and the only outside" music was the drummer, which instrument raised the quality of the music as regards dancing about 60 per cent.
 IT our local men consider the above too much to asl, of them for the money they receive lot them raise their prices, but furnish the music. ! Otherwise they have no kick coming ! if foreign" music is desired and hired.

FOOD INSURED
 FOR TWO YEARS
Prime Minister Lloyd George Voices Confidence in Outcome of the
 European War

LONDON. July 24.-Against Ger many's claims of nearly a million tons of shipping sunk euch month since unbridlcd submarine warfare was proclaimed, England tonight con trasted Premier Lloyd Georges con fdent statement of this afternoon.
 Gradually but surely we are i'm crcasing our protection and dimin- lshlng our losses"
 The British prime minister voiced thc utmost confidence In his address at the Belgian independence celc- bration at Queens hall
 "Thc food supply this year auI next is already secured" he declared. "Thc program Of civilization makes Che supply of 1919 secure, even 1T our losses are increased. This year we arc building four times as many ships as in the proceeding year and next year we shall build six times as many"
 The German claims were contained in copies of German papers received here and were given in amplifica- ton Of the German chancellor's speech that Lloyd George addressed himself this afternoon.
 The German claims were that since inauguration of the submarine war fare on February |, the following tonnage of neutral and allied ships had been sunk: February 7Sl5OO; March. SS5,OOO; April, l,O9loOO; May S69.OOO.
 For June tho statistics claimed moro than a million tons with a number Of commanders reports still Co be recoiycd.'
 The month. thc German version predicted. would be a record breaker.
 The figures show total Of i.G26,- 800 tons in the five months cited an average Of about g25,3OO tons, count ing June as 100000 tons.
 Against this tonnage the British estimate of GOO.OOO tons as the max imum average was cited.
 The primo minister's speech was looked upon tonight os a full and perfect answer Co the German chan ccllor. He cpitomized the Briton's view that Michaclis was the tool of the German militarist machine and that England would fight on Co vic tory.
 "Thc juukcrs have thrown the old chancellor into thc waste basket with his scraps of paper" Lloyd George declared. But it will not be long before junkcrdom follows him. Those in charge of German affairs have elected for war. predict it will not be long before thc chancellor de- .Iivcrs different speech which we arc awaiting.
 "I read the chonccllors speech thrice and found sham independence for Belgium. sham democracy for Germany and sham peace for Europe "Thc statement contained phrases which the German military group understood. But if thc U-boat Is not wiped out. thoy will again plunge Europe into a wcltcr of blood" England. the premier concluded cannot mako peace with a military autocracy.
