"The Wanderer''
Scores A Triumph

"The Wanderer," the great big
Biblical pageant and drama which
was produced last week at the Man
haitian Opera House in New York, has
proven the biggest sensation in years,
and crowds are focking to the mann
moth playhouse in West Saith street.
This story of the Biblical parable of
the prodigal son is one of the great
est stage productions in recent years.
It follows the story in the Bible
clocely, but full advantage is taken
of the great opportunities for scenic
and pictorial display in the second act
showing the young boy wasting his
money and his substance in riotous
living in wicked Jerusalem of three
thousand years ago. This scene,
showing the evil friends and gorge
Gus surroundings of a resort Of pleas
ure in Jerusalem, has been much
talked of since the first performance.
In this scene there is gorgeous bal
let of ninety dancing girls, attlred n
the Oriental costumes of the period.
In the first act, showing the home of
Jether in Judea, there is flock of
120 sheep together with many other
domestic animals who lend color and
atmosphere to the scene.

TAKE PLACES VACATED
 BY AMERICANS
Many Government Employ
 es Have Retired During the Last Two Years.

Manila. Dec. 2S.- -Corespondance of The AsSsciated Preas1More than haH the Americans formerly in the employ of the Philippine government nave been retired since July, 1913. There are now a few more than 1.2O0 Americans in the service whereas. four years ago. just before the arrival Of the new Democratic administra- ton. there were more than 2,6oo.
 Meanwhile there has been a steady increase naturally in Filipino en- ployes of the government, the list showing 1000.
 The law which permits Americans of long service with the government to retire with a three-year pension ranging from 66 per cent of a year s salary to the full amount, is largely responsible for the number of Ameri- can retfrenaents which have increased very largely since the law was passed. The past year has seen 400 retirements and the previous year saw almost as many more.
 The policy of the Harrison admin fstration in training Filipinos as rap iddy aS possible for responsible posts in the government service has made the successors of these retired Amer jeans almost entirely Filipinos. This fact. together with the increasing ac- tivities of the government, due to fr- creased prosperity in the islands, is responsible for the big increase of FIhpinos in the government service.

Anniversary of First Great
 Theatre Fire in America

The first great theatre fire in America was that which destroyed 8 playhouse in Riehmsnd, Va. 10s years ago today, Bee, 2e, 1911, The GevefaeF ef the State and seventy other people, including many Virgin iaHs of RFemiHsHes. lest their lives, and many mere died iatsf of injuries received in the. stampede which fol- lowed the alarm of fire. The theatre held about s66 people at the perform aHes which ended so tragiealiy The chief cause of tias loss of life was that the doors opened inward, and be came tightly closed by the pressure of the panic stricken crowd. As the first event of it's kind iA America, the fire was long remembered with heFfeF, and staFtRd the first movement fer the adoption of means to prevent the repetition of sueh a calamity. Many ministers chose ts believe that the ea= tastFephe was a sign. of divine ceR- demhatioH of the theatre, and used the event as a text. There have been many other theatre eeaf1agFatisas since the one which destroyed the Richmond playhouse. the most notable having been the Bsesk1yH Theatre fire i of 1876, in which ss5 lives were lost, l and the IEeqHais hesFer in Chicago, when 57S people, mostly women and i children, were burned CT trampled to death.

HUNGARIAN AIMS IN WAR DEFINED
 BY COUNT TISzA
Dismemberment of Rou- mania, Control of Danube,
 Domination of Serbia,

London. Dec. 26-Partial dismem- berment of Rumania, control of the Danube river and domination of Ser bla are the Hungarian war aims as defined in sthe Budapest Hirlap, organ of Count Stephen Tisza, formerly Pre- mier of Hungary.
 We want part of Rumania, an area of about 15.0G0 square kilometers, including Buzen. Danbofotza and Pra- hovo." declares the newspaper. Why? Because it Is preferable for us to have frontier near Bucharest The cannon will roll better descending the Carpathians. The Rumanian fox must not play the role of the wolf between the Magyar town of Buzen and the Bulgarian Dobrudja. The richest oil wells are there, and the best salt mine is at Prahovo
 Then we want 10000 square kilo- meters near Oysova and in the elbow of the Danube. Why? Because it is preferable that our door ne shut Let us possess the Danube in common with the 'Bu1garians, in order to make the Berfin-Bagdad route more sure.
 Tn the peace treaty we must be as- sured of a 20 years right to construct an Austro-Hungarian canal across the Moray o-Vardar valley, which must be under our administration and con- troL To make this certain we shall demand that the Serbian army be per- manetly suppressed and vne Serbian throne occupied by sovereign ap- proved by the Emperor of Austria Hungary.

AS A MOTHER
 SEES THE NAVY

For 10 days was the guest of the Atlantic F1eet,'' writes a mother who made a visit of Investigation for Good Housekeeping She tells other mothers, in the January issue,. just how their boys live on board ship. She Says: During those days tried to do everything the boys had to do. I ate with them; worked with them; I even got sick and went to the hos pital ship. I did everything they did except sleep in 8 hammock and fire a gun. They wouldn't let me fire a gun. and was glad of 1t. AS to the hammock, tried to get in one,, but the art of arriving in dream sack some six feet from the floor is an ac- quired one. There is not seclusion enough on ship for mother with her bet muscles and avotrdupofs to become a hammock artist.
 "How do our sons live in this mas eulina world? (For the navy is a mans world. and in 1t woman has no p1aee.) First of all, they live with almost no furniture. There is no place on fighting ships for other than the barest necessities. T-ley eat from

During the hours when meals are not being served these tables are folded up and held by chains from great hooks near the roof of the passageway, The benches are fold- ed up and placed on top of the tables.
 s'Ths beds are hammooks swung from two iren hooks. During the morning the tammocts are aired over the rail of the ship, at noon they are 'lashed' up and put in big bin-, looking places.
