English Wayside
 Inns Are Passing

London, April -Governnent re- strtctions on the 1inuor trade are like Iy to result in the disappearance of hundred of village inns and wayside public houses" this summer. These houses have always relied rnsin1y for support on the casual passerby, es- pecia1ty agricultural work kers who used to pull up their teams, water the horses, and give themselves a rest and a drink at the comfortable bar of the readable inn.
 But nowadays the restriction of hours of sale has made it impossible for the passerby to obtain anything stronger than ginger ale except at lunch-tfme and the agricultural la abor- CTS. arc learning to pass the inns which have been used for generations as houses of call. s@na
 Some of the most picturesque way side inn in England now take in only a few shi11in<s weekly and very few of them make enough to afford a liv- Ing to the landlords. who have largely been forced to become farmers or to retire on their savings.

EXPERT REGARDS
 AMERICAN ENTRY IN WAR SERIOUS

Amsterdam, April 14.-Capt. Per sius, writing in the Berlin Tageblatt, criticises those who treat America s entry to the war lightly. "It would be a fatal mistake" he says, "to re- gard America's economic strength as the only important factor for an en- emy. The military strength of the United States is not to be met with a shrug of the shoulder"
 Otto Hoetsch, a prominent pollti- cal writer, reviewing in the Kreuz Zeitung the German-American clash, contends that Germany has a perfect right to make her own international law as far as submarines are concern ed and in regard to neutrals, for whose further interests, he says, Ger many is fighting. The war, he says. would have been over long ago if America had not abetted the Entente. He continues:
 Germany, in always trying to avoid a German-American conflict, played into the hands of her opponents The German embassy in Washington should be blamed for this. It was matic service. Apart from it's glar- ing mistake the embassy lacked an understanding of American psychol- ogy, the best proof of this being the failure of the whole German propa- ganda. It is to the kaiser's last ing merit that he made every effort to hold Americas friendship. We cannot blame him because America is against us, but we do blame the German-Americans, who, must real ize that the Fatherland is deeply dis appointed in them.''

Capital Is Awaiting
 Further Peace Moves
 By Allies of Germany

Washington, April IA. - Officials yesterday viewed the disclosures that Austria and Bulgaria through their representa- tives in Switzerland are try ing to approach Entente diplomats on the subject of peace as gratifying, in- asmuch as they indicate war weari- ness in those countries, but as not necessarily involving the sort of def mite proposals that might bring peace in the near future.
 Information received here does not indicate that Austria and Bulgaria are sufficiently desperate to make them propose terms acceptable to the Entente allies, and diplomats of the latter have indicated that they will refuse to enter peace discussions not based on publicly avowed terms.

It Is Miss Spring time,- K1aw & Erlanger's charming play of ndrth and melody, which comes to that city fresh from a run of 10 weeks in Boston, where the critics and public alike agreed that it was the best entertainment of it's kind Boston had seen in years And many are the reasons of it's phenome- nal suocess- First there is the mu- sical score by EmmersonI Kaltnan, the noted Hungarian composer, who has fairly outdone himself in this work Then there is the breezy book, fun of laughs all the way through, by Guy Bolton, and the clever lyrics by P. G. Wodehouse-
 The cast is one of exceptional merit among the principal funmakers being Frank Mcintyre, of 4.Tfe Trav- cling Salesman" fame; Ethel Petit, formerly of The Lilac Domino; i; Harrison Brockbank, Zoe Barnett, Wi1muth Mer-KyL Frank Doane, Alice GaiIlard, VIII H Sloan, w. P. Mum, George Fox and one of the daintiest girne choruses eyer.
 The scenes of the three acts are laid in Hungary, the first two show ing the village of Plota during the old, home week celebration, and the third the stage of a Budapest opera house The story reVolves around pretty village maiden who. falls in love with an operatic baritone who is much beloved by the fair fsex.. Two comic tourists also add much humor to the story. which is of suspensive sin- terest and full of surprises 4
