The railroad lines of America,
operating as one great system. will
be an important and necessary factor
In enabling our country to do her
part in orin gtng victory to the allies,
and freedom to the people of the
world. Every railroad line must be
operated from now on with the gov
ernment's needs and best means of
meeting them az the paramount con-
sideration Matters OF profit, of local
comfort and convenience should. of
course, be considered. but must be
secondary, The best and most eff
ficient service TO the country must
come ahead Of everything else.
It Is IN line with This general policy
that the Southern Railway company.
one OF the South's great systems, has
made application to the corporation
commission of Virginia for permits
sion TO reduce tho passenger train
service on its lines. This matter is TO
be heard by the commission on Tues
day next, and that body will exercise
Its discretion az 10 whether or not the
needs OF the government and the
rights and interests OF the people are
considered in proper relation in the
proposed curtaIlment OF service.
We have no doubt that the South
ern's application will be granted. In

BELASCO,

Maude Fulton and "The Brat" have
returned to Washington. the city Of
the latter's nativity. after long and
successful stay in New York, and last
night at the BeIasco amused and en-
tertained a big audience. That the
crowds which will follow The Brat
through three acts OF mirth and un-
expected situations will be larger
during the remaining part OF the
week is practically assured. as not
even a threatening night like that OF
the opening one will keep them. away.
As author OF the comedy and the
chief player OF II. MRude Fulton in
troduces some novel ideas in play
writing. and at the same time shows
such utter disregard for so-called
playwriting rules as to make the au-
dience gasp at times. But it is this
naturslness which has so endeared
"The Brat to the many thousands
who have seen her by this time.
1.-The Brat" is the story OF a novel
list who, in search of a model for his
latest best seller. goes to New York's
night court, obtains the release of a
little street wsif arrested for begging
and carries her to his home of ele-
gance. refinement, and wealth. THE
Brat" falls in love with the place dur
ing the six weeks that the novelist is
at work on his latest book. For a
time her affections-so she believes
ALSO have gone toward the novel
list. but in the wind-up she finds that
she is mistaken. that II Is the
younger brother OF the latter, the
scapegrace OF the family. And when
the family turns upon this unfortu-
nate member and puts him out in the
world. The Brat" is the first and
only person to volunteer to take his
hand and go out into the great West
with him.
The Brat" is well acted. The COM
peny is a strong one, and Miss Fulton
has surrounded herself with an ex
