It Is said the German prisoners taken by the Russian women's bat talion were greatly chagrined when they learned the sex of their captors It must have certainly been annoying for them to find women who disdained the Kaiser's definition of their place as the nursery, the church and the kitchen and who moreover, disdained it to such good purpose.-Baltimor Am erican.

The constitutional questions con- nected with the prohibition amend ment are only less interesting than it's subject matter. The proviso. that ratification, to be valid, must be con- pleted within six years after it's pas- sage, is novel, but is 1t a novelty that ought as a matter of course to be a part of every proposed amendment. For an amendment to be ratified by few states short of the required num- Der, than to be forgotten, and later suddenly revived and by the action of a few made a part of the constitu- ton, although in the meanwhile the sentiment of the country has changed, should be impossib ssible.-New York Evening Post.

For The Lilac Domino at the Davis
 Wednesday Evening.

That tunefu1 musical success of fun, fro1io and fashion, The Lilac Domino, which delighted New York, Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia for long runs, has been secured by the local management for one performance at the Davis theatre on Wednesday night, Nov. 14th.
 The company, numbering half a hun dred, is guaranteed by the manage ment to be the only and original com pany and the same identical organiza- tion that appears in the leading thea- tres of the principal cities for long runs. There Is not now and never was but one company presenting this opera. The musical score is too difficult to be sung by inferior artists or played by any but the most talented musicians and the cast contains the names of more high sa1aried artists than have probably ever been seen or heard here at one time. The entire massive and beautiful scenic production, which was built and painted in Europe, and was so much admired in New York, is car ried intact. The Lilac Domino is un- doubtedly the most pronounced musi- cal success on tour and the few smaller cities to secure this attraction are extremely fortunate. If you have not secured seats, do so now.

oRPHEUM THEATRE, DANIELsoN

One might merely announce that Robin Hood, Americas most famous light opera, was to be presented at the Orpheum theatre, Danielson, Wednes- day evening, Nov. IA, and stop. It would be sufficient to insure the sale of every seat in the theatre.
 Add to that bare statement the fact that the opera comes here under the auspices of the Wa1ker-Stevens Opera company and the anticipation of an enjoyable evening turns into a cer- tainty. In musical circles there is no better known opera. company in the country than the Wa1ker-Stevens company. Listed among it's members are some of the leading singers. of America and Europe and back of 1t is a reputation covering years of time for things we'll done.
 It is almost superhuous to attempt to add anything to what has been said of Robin Hood. This opera by Harry B. Smith and Reginald de Koven goes far beyond the plan of the ordinary light opera in its musical compost tion- Moreover, with its scenes laid in the market place of Nottingham, Sherwood forest, famed in song and story, and in the courtyard of the sheriff's castle, give one an accurate picture of England of the thirteenth century.
