Plays and Players

Although Nine. Bernhard had in
tended to change her bill to-day from
"Du Theatre au Champs d'Honneur" TO
Camille" so many people persisted IN
trying to see the war playiet twice
daily at the Palace that the manage
ment became discouraged and decided
TO keep it on the remainder OF the
week. Bernhard will begin Camille
next Monday afternoon, thus having
few hours advantage over Ethel Bar
rymore at the Empire, who doesn't
start to play this role until evening.
The Liberty Loan Committee has no.
tilted Messrs. Keith and Albee that the
Palace has been awarded bronze tab
let for selling more bonds than any
other theatre-namely, S7GO,OOO worth
in nine days. The Keith circuit sold
more than S5.O00,000 worth during both
selling campaigns.

Today's Parade.

Selected because they are ht, Wash
ington's contribution to our liberty
army will march up historic Penn
sylvania avenue today, that we may
have a farewell glimpse OF our boys
before they go "over there"
They will be in excellent company
today, for the President Of the United
States, his Cabinet. the Senate. the
House of Representatives. the District
Commissioners. soldiers, sailors, fra
ternal organizations and citizens will
all act as a bodyguard of honor for
those who have been called.
1t will be a gala event. enhanced by
the spirit that is dominating the hearts
OF the American people today and by
the grim realization Of what these
boys who are answering the call so
willingly, will face.
Everyone concerned in the AFFAIR
has worked hard to make the demon
stration the most impressive ever
held in Washington, the city OF splen-
did demonstrations.
Since The Washington Herald first
made the suggestion on August ),
tc prominent citizens. that we should
have farewell parade for our
liberty army. everyone has co-operat-
ed toward making momentous oc-
casion Of the parade. The commit
tees which have had the arrangements
in charge deserve all possible credit
for the splendid work that has been
done.
But it is an occasion worth working
for. and as we on the sidelines watch
the procession today it will be fitting
IL we can take into our hearts the
real reason that prompts the demon
stration. Remember that our boys are
leaving everything dear to them. to
fight for US, and they may be gone
for a long. long time"

The Mouarehist Plot in Russia.

The first effort to. restore Nicholas
Romanof to his czardom has been
foiled.
There will be others. The Leninites,
the German intrigants. the hundred
and one forces of the old. corrupt
bureaucracy left in the country will
not cease because their first attempt
has failed. They will continue. The
mere fact that their country faces
invasion and devastation at the hands
of a desperate enemy will not deter
them; they viii welcome such ar
enemy as an ally.
After the French Revolution deposed
the Bourbon line. the royalists kept
France In turmoil for more than a
century. They came back to power
twice: and the monarchist power has
been asserted in France more than
once in the past decade. Napoleon
III. or his progeny. would still be
reignIng in Paris IL his own folly
combined with Bismarck's cold
blooded scheming had not cost him his
throne. Such in the slow and inn
uitely tedious process of democratiza-
ton even with such a highly developed
race as the French.
In Russia the case Is somewhat diff
ferent The grinding heel OF the
despotism had developed socialism
and liberal forces TO a high point. and
Russia was well prepared. intellect
uslly. for the overthrow which came
last April There is no danger OF a
bareback to monarchism, so far az
the masses Of the people are concern
ed; foreign influence, aided and
abetted by the church and certain
elements in the army, might ac-
complish it. but the restoration would
be no more than temporary.
But the monarchists will make many
desperate attempts to reassert their
power before the war reaches an end.
Ultimately. they are going to be
broken on the wheel; but in the mean
time they may paraIyze Russia in
this war.

HOLLAND LETTER
The Biggest Daily
Financial News Feature Of
the Counhy's Best Newspapers.

The hesitation and doubt which are
market and which also prevail among
business men was spoken of this
morning as somewhat similar to the
anxiety which business and especial
ly the large corporations expressed
after the government began its prose-
cution Of various large corporations.
because 1t was alleged they were Or
Sanized and operated in violation of
the Sherman law. Business men did
not know whether they were acting
within the law or not; corporations
which had been advised by able coun-
sci that their organizations and
operations were not in violation or
the law were nevertheless compelled
to face charges brought by the gov
ernment. There followed a period
Of depression and anxiety and busi-
ness men who were known to be
actuated by the desire to conform to
strictest business integrity were COM
PEELED to mark time.
Now business and especially the
securities market is in a. frame of
mind somewhat similar to that which
prevailed after the large corpora
tions were prosecuted by the govern
ment. There is this difference. how
ever. Business does not fear prose-
cution nor accusation that 1t is act
tt,rr 4Na al
Business men do not know what to
rely upon. They cannot as yet take
the full measure of the effect of price
fixing and governmental control of
large industrial plants. This is re-
garded as undoubtedly explaining the
stagnation which characterizes the
securities market, as of course it ex-
plains the closing of some of the ex-
changes in which products Of the
soil were dealt in. But good read
justment is sure to follow.
Twenty Billions In a Year.
Nevertheless. the leaders in the bus
mess world are persuaded that the
stupendous imitation that is now in
progress-which is not dangerous in
fation-will inevitably speed up busi-
ness to its utmost capacity. The
Washington authorities are now of the
opinion that it will cost the United
States in this first year a little under
$4,000 900, 900 to meet all the expenses
entailed by the war and by the Gus
tomary activities of the government.
OF this amount 5000 00o.O 900 is repre-
sented by investment. for the govern
ment is to invest that amount Of
money in loans made to the Allies.
Attention was called this morning
to the fact that the interest upon
these loans will amount to many hun
dred million dollars and that there
is no doubt of its prompt payment.
The s1300O.0eo.00O which represents
the amount the government will have
to pay exclusive of loans to the AL
lies. to meet the expenses of the year.
will. of course, compel very great re-
adjustment of business conditions. If
the war should continue another year
in all probability the government
would be compelled to secure from
the people $50, Ooo. 900 COO more. The gov
ernn1ent must look to the American
people because II cannot borrow
money anywhere else since the ma
tions Of the world are approaching
the money markets Of the United
States for loans.

The Case of Col. Reichmanp.

There should be no prejudging of
the case of Col. Reichmann. II he is
unfit to be a brigadier-general Of the
American army-unfit to hold any
command in the army-that fact will
be brought out in due time by the
Senate Military Affairs Committee. In
the meantime judgment should be
suspended.
But there is one salient fact that
the American people should know.
Whether Col. Reichmann Is in fact
guilty of pro-German learnings and
pro-German sympathies. there are
many officers in the American army
today who are. at rock bottom, op-
posed to American participation in the
war. No one questions their loyalty.
No one should question it, But there
is a danger involved in their firm
belief in the Prussian ideal Of civil
lization.
These officers believe in the Prus-
sian system. root and branch; they
earnestly desire to militarize the
United States, after the war, on a
basis Of universal military service
they have JUSTIFIED the sinking of the
Lusitania and other submarine out
RACES. as being entirely within the
sphere of legitimate civilized war
fare; they are intolerant of the ideal
ism which animates the American
people in the present war.
These army men are neither Of Ger
man blood nor in any. vital way as
sociated with the Prussian tradition.
But they have been STEPPED in the
military view Of things. and they know
no other They argued strongly
against the submarine policy of the
United States before We were driven
into the war. The reason? Because
they felt it might create a precedent
that would embarrass the nation in
the future; that in some other wars
we might find it expedient and de-
PCtld lAlC same OdA
barrie outrages that Germany perpe-
trated.
II a more un-American viewpoint
can be found than this. we would
like to know it. Yet these officers
pride themselves on their intense
Americanism; and singularly enough.
they always preached the views
which were reflected by the German
propagandists at the time. Even now,
some of them are spreading gloom.
and privately predicting that the war
will end in a "stalemate." despite

The following named articles will
be issued gratuitously TO each recruit
upon his first enlistment:
One brush, hair; one comb; one
brush, tooth; two towels. one cake OF
soap, toilet.
These articles will be issued by the
quartermaster on acquisitions SUBJ

and when the issue has been made
that fact will be entered upon the

discussion by the Army War College.
As has been stated in these columns.
one proposal contemplates resort to
the old system OF regimental promo

favor at the War Department with
certain notifications, such as giving
division commanders a liberal author

cement, without the delay OF reference
of recommendations to Washington,
The promotion of staff officers in con-

the National Army is also a pending
matter. This includes the recommen-
dation of the quartermaster general
for an, expansion of his corps SO as to
provide for fourteen officers with the
rank of brigadier general.

such other articles of aviation cloth
