Lew Fields Realizes Long
Cherished Ambition in New
PLAY. "Bosom Friends"

FEW YORK. April 2I-Arnold
nj DAILY signslized his return TO the
L stage after a notable victory
over sickness by wrestling with and
overthrowinE John Barleycorn-
Showing all the fire and energy
which enabled him TO win his long
struggle with sickness and apparently
again in full possession OF his vigor.
Mr.. DAILY scored a remarkable per-
sonal triumph In the somewhat dull
temperance homily. The VERY Min
ute." which opened at the Belasco
theater Monday night.
The author OF the play ls Jonn
Meehan, a newcomer in the field. He
succeeded in mystifying his audience
with the title TO his piece which I
could only explain on the theory ne
considered his T crk apropOS At TINS
very minute on account Of the wide
spread agitation pro and con OF the
liquor question
1Ir Meehan selected difficult set
ting for his story Nj D1lE plays
the part OF the son Of a college presl-
dent, the latter having founded the
little institution named after him
The son. having studied in Europe
lectures on law In western college
until his weakness for the bottle re-
suits in his resignation.
He Is visiting his fathers home
when the retirement OF the president
leaves the place open for his son.
whom he has urged as his successor.
There is a demand for him from the
student, but the trustees, with the
memory Of his failings in the west
Will offer him the place only on con-
dition that he promise 10 imbibe no
more
The young man Indignantly scorns
the offer, believing that his personal
rights are infringed and that he is
insultsd- But his father has now
learned of his weakness and the
shock kills the kindly old man
His fathers death awskens the
real man in the son and he starts a
terrible struggle against his inner
foe, the craving for strong drink He
wins and rehabilitates himself thor
ouEhly.
- Mr. DAILY portrays with striking lu-
cidity the struggle Of the dipsomanic
with his powerful enemy- He re-
ceived an ovation from his friends
when he first appeared on the stage
but the applause was redoubled after
his work In this difficult part had
been enjoyed

IN RETALIATION.

A few days after the Belgian commission arrived in this country, Minister De Cartier, one of the members made report to the state de- partment of the deportation by German officials of twenty prominent Belgians in retaliation for alleged inhuman treatment of German civilian prisoners taken in German Southwest Africa. The report had the effect of starting up some thing and retaliation was suggested.
 It was pointed out that thousands of Ger man civilians are now in allied territory. In that case it was said it would be easy to meet out to them the same punishment accorded Bel gans and compel Germany to come to her senses Thus far no retaliatory steps have been taken towards alien enemies by the allies, but continued illegal acts by Germany may cause q great deal of trouble. Some are advocating talk ing strong measures in retaliation and while on the face of it. it is wrong, yet if that is the only way to bring that country to realize that two can play at the game the sooner it is done the better.
