THEATRICAL PERFORMERS

LONDON, Eng.-Eight official army
theaters, re ularly supplied with com.
edy, melodrama. musical comedy and
vaudeville, are to be established by
the entertainment department of the
Canteen Board for the amusement OF
the British soldiers.
In time, if the war continues, it is
nossible that this list will grow. 1t is
the aim of the authorities not merely
tn provide the soIdfers with good &C.
ting. but to conduct the theaters on a
business basis, and hand something
over to the Central Regimental lnstf'
tute fund.
At present a repertory comany is on
tour of the army and navy camps ana
stations and melodrama and musical
comedy companies have been recruit
ed to entertain the fighting men.
vaudeville troupes have been organic.
ed There is a common charge at all
theaters of six cents for the cheapest
seats and twelve cents for the front
rows. At the second house'-for the
heaters are run on the twice night

for the officers and sergeants.

he doesn't know yet JUS what he IS

like IT'S fair and right for the people
to pay this war tax on tickets them
selves.
You see" he explained earnestly.
it's really a tax which the govern
ment has asked the people to pay for
their amusement. 1t will not mean
much to them, individually, and it
would mean a good deal for us to
stand it alone. We're going to raise
the salaries of all our employees from
20 to % per cent. We must do that,
to enable them to meet the increased
cost of living. And We have to meet
our own increased taxation, which is
no small item, not to mention the in
creased cost of everything else that
hits us, along with everybody else.

This last was evidently an inspira-

That was as far as he would go until
he had looked deeper into the matter,
he said. He did go a little farther,
though, and say that anybody holding
a pass would have to pay nickle to
get in anyway. That's one thing he
has made up his mind about. He's
not going to do the pass-holder's pa

STANDARD LOAF
OF BREAD URGED

Plans now being made by the ter
ritorial food commission seek to Sc
cure for Honolulu a standardized loaf
OF bread; one which will be standard
both in quality and price.
On the mainland the bakers organi-
zation was one of the first to confer
with Herbert Hoover, national food
administrator, to secure a standard.
lied loaf of bread. J. F. Child, fed
eral food commissioner for Hawaii,
has talked with several Honolulu
bakers, and they have expressed de-
sire and willingness to follow out this
plan.
THE number of ounces in stand
ardized loaf" says Mr. Child, would
necessarily depend upon the price of
flour. 1t would be difficult to estab-
fish a loaf at regular price with the
present fluctuating priee Of flour
At present, the commissions idea of
standardized loaf is one having a
weight of one pound after baking.
This is the smallest loaf which will
satisfactorily retain moisture and
wholeSomeness, says Mr.. Child.

ministrator, in announcing his plan:

profits. These plans are to be pu

The food administration has no con
troll of either the grower or his or
CARNATIONS, nor of the great major
ity of retailers.
The distribution chain lying be
tween, that is, the warehouse, whole
salers, commission men and manufac'
tErers OF prime commodities, has re-
uuired great deal of study and de-
velopment for !ts proper regulation
and these rules are now coming into
force"
Hoover says he has every hope
that the retailers will cooperate as
the farmers and other food handlers
are cooperating in an effort to feed
the nation and the allies at reason
able prices. Everybody along the
line down to the retailer. he declares,
is helping. But the retailer has yet to
toe the mark, because. retail prices
do not by any means reflect the
wholesale prices, Hoover asserts.
Hoover informally describes some
OF the trying situations through
which the food administration waded
in it's effort to see that all parts o!
the country are supplied with al
kinds of foodstuffs. New York City
for instance, was on the verge of a
flour famine few weeks ago, having
only thirty-six hours supply avail
able when emergency shipments were
rushed to the dealers. Four hundred
thousand barrels of flour were requis
itioned to meet the shortage.
Wheat and flour regulations are
helping the situation, Hoover says

Mr.. Stinson verified mis- statement
by reading from a letter written by
Ralph S. tombstone in which the
collector stated that he would ask
the honorable commissioner of inter
nal revenue for ruling on the matter,
at the same time expressing the opin-
ion that he did not think the tax would
apply.

Refusal of Massachusetts to
Honor ReQuiSition for Negro
on Ground # Race Prejudice
Causes Deep Resentment.

Charleston, w. Va, Nov. 90
Characterizing the refusal of Cover
nor Mccall of Massachusetts, to honor
his requisition for the return to West
Virginia for trial of John johnson, a
negro charged with attacking a white
girl in this city. as constituting "a re-
Election upon the state of West Vir-
vinia and showing a deplorable lack
of knowledge of it and its people" !"
Governor John Cornwell today made
public letter which he had written
to the Massachusetts, executive.
"The suggestion that exaggerated
reports and the race of the defendant.
ally circulated in the community and
that on account of the nature of these
reports and the race of the defendant,
there exists a prejudice which would
be difficult, if not impossible, of con
troll by the most upright judge, is not
only unwarranted and untrue, but is a
reflection upon this state and its
courts which | very frankly and re-
spectfully resent said Governor
Cornwell's letter.
"Your refusal to grant this requi-
sition for the reasons as alleged, con-
stitutes a reflection upon the state Of
West Virginia and shows deplorable
lack of knowledge of it and its people
1t also, in my opinion. tends to
tkwart the ends of justice and violates
the spirit of comfy between the
states to such an extent that I shall
feel compelled to scrutinize with more
than usual care any similar requisi-
ton from you"
The crime with which Johnson Is
charged is an attack on Nellie Kellen-
berger, 14-year-old white girl, all
legged to have been committed in De-
eember, 1915. Nine persons were in
dicted in the case, seven OF whom now
are serving sentences for the crime.

military character without aims of

This system has the immediate

Swift Exchange of Shots.
AS the correspondent approached
the trench lines over the shell-pitted
ground the enemy started firing over
the first line. This firing lasted but
brief time, stopping as suddenly as
1t began Immediately afterward came
detonations from the rear and the
whiz of shells overhead as the Amer
lean batteries got into action. Then
smoke puffs suddenly began appear
ing over the German trenches. The
infantrymen looked cautiously over
No Mans Land while the firing was
going on, but as soon as 1t was over
they appeared to forget all about 1t.
In nearby dugout the men off
duty had not even heard the racket
Their principal worry seemed to be
rats.
One occupant of the dugout ex-
planned that there was sleeping room
in it for thirty-eight men and that
twelve cats were kept in it. Cats
were everywhere, some sleeping on
folded blankets and some prowling in
dark corners or stalking their prey.
Men i'm Good Health.
The men all appeared to be in the
best of health, although during the
wet and cold weather of previous
DAYS several men in this unit had con-
tracted trench feet" and cold.
While the sun was going down be-
hind the hills and the darkness was
coming on swiftly shot was fired.
Just aS the SstiI passed below the
horizon however, the German bat
teries opened up on one of the Ameri-
can battery positions with a hot fire,
the high explosives bursting with the
regularity of the clock tick-about
one every second The bombardment
lasted a couple of minutes and then
ended abruptly.
Immediately the American bat
teries retaliated, flashes Of orange
colored flame stabbing the night. The
detonations, some heavy and some
light, continued for some time with as
much speed as the Germans had
shown. Then the "strafing" and the
answer being over the artillery settled
down for the night Of usual quiet.
