Four Soap-Box Orators
Before the Grand Jury

Four cases Of disorderly conduct, the
result of meetings arranged by soap
box orators, were investigated yester-
day by the grand jury, Of which Alex
ander Konta IS foreman. No indict-
ments we're voted. 1t was reported
that the grand jury would send the
cases back to the city magistrates.
The District Attorney issued a re-
quest that any person having legal evil
dence Of unlawful assembly or incite-
nent to riot against any Objectionable
street orator should communicate with
him, so that the cases might be laid
before the grand jury.
Ceases of mere disorderly conduct
he said, will be presented as usual to
the city magistrates. There have been
such conflicting expressions Of opinion
as TO the law on this subject that de-
signing persons may be led TO believe
that the law is inadequate.
"The only contention Of the District
Attorney has been that not all cases,
but only the moro serious offences
should be put before the grand jury. !
have maintained that the lesser Of
fences, such rs blocking the sidewalks
and disorderly conduct, should De
dealt with summarily in the magis-
trates' courts. Thus all cases OF law
violation may be properly dealt with.

"Kultur" in Textbooks
Newark School Heads Find
Much Objectionable Matter

NEWARK, N. j.. Sept. ls---School
authorities are hunting German Kultur
In their schoolbooks.
The first days hunt had produced
the following.
From "Tm Vaterland," a textbook
used in all the high schools:
Germany must have q great army
because II Is surrounded by enemies.
Germany is great because OF the
Bismarck blood and iron formula.
"The Germans have proved on many
battlefelds that they fear no one.
KAISER Wilhelm Is a great man. His
first wish is TO serve the German peo-
pie"
In "Gllck Auf," German reader In
the schools, Kaiser Wilhelm is eulo-
gized as that lover of peace" A Ger
man celebration Of the battle of Sedan
Is described. "The university students
cheer the name of Our Lord and Kali
SER and the American students cheer
loudest of ALL" says the book.
City Superintendent David B. Corson
| said tho matter will be Investigated and
called TO the attention Of the Board OF
Education.

Newspapers Accused of
Making Blood Money

In the same edition Of that paper was
the following article:
The great English-printed Ameri-
can newspapers of this country
twenty-six OF which are alleged to
have been bought by Lord North
cliffe, Of London, whilo the greater
part Of the rest Is In the service Of
Morgan, the ammunition manufactur-
ers and others, which are making
millions Of dollars Of blood money
out Of the war-have steadfastly con-
tended from the outset that Germany
has brought about the war. But now
there are certain disclosures which,
perhaps, will by and by open the eyes
Of the people OF the United
States.
"This Northcliffe legend was ac-
copied as true in this country. So
long as the United States were not
involved In TIE war doubts, 1t Is
true, were voiced In the American
press, once in a while. But then
Lord NorthclifFe arrived with large
bag full of money. The contention
made in Congress that twenty-six-
newspapers have been directly
bribed has not been investigated for
good reasons, and since that time the
story Of the devilish Austrian-Ger-

By Ralph Block

Shaw once discovered that ne could
make people laugh by writing Dumas
Ills backward. As q method II has all
the advantages Of simplicity, but so far
as Mr.. Shaw's own fame IS concerned
it carries the penalty Of letting any
body else who so desires do it Just as
we'll. Oh. perhaps not entirely so full
of preachment as the Shayian SCRIPT
but at Icas, sufficiently pointed to leave
the Shavian pattern obvious 70 any
casual glance.
Lawrence Langner did it when ne
wrote 1.-THE Family Exit" when the
Washington Square Players produced
, last night at the Comedy Theatre. l
can imagine the process Mr.. Lsngner
pursued before he sat 20 his manu-
script-a swift Eight through Fanny
First Play" scurrying over the nlgn
points in the sixty-eight pages OF
"Parents and Children" and then 70
the machine, with La Dame aux
Camelias" open on one side Of the desk
and "Sapho" at the other. The result
is encouraging Doubtless there Will
be more and moro Of it from nov on
spreading In time even TO Broadway,
| where the need is sore one. How un-
| fortunate for Mohammedan countries
that their dislike for monogamy will
always keep them from understanding
! Shaw.
The old-fashioned way Of writing
farce about the family black sheep was
| to lay the scene at home and lug the
! prodigal In to a setting OF Victorian
| responsibility. Mr.. Langner carried the
new formula further-far enough TO
J reverse even that. The result IS that
| the rst scene is Ellis Island, with the
prodigal barred after twenty years IN
Paris because he and his companion
! are trying to enter without benefit of
clergy. II is not the troubles of the
| Vandusen family, PROSTATE by the dis
! grace of an immoral relative, that con-
Germs "The Family Exit" but the
| troubles of Peter Vandusen, almost
/ crazed By the prospect Of living once
/ again with an extremely tiresome and
| stupid family. The family learns To
| bear with him, but when he weds the
| lady, to evade the Mann act, the family
! revolts, and Peter Is free. Yet only
momentarily. He is tagged with the
I olive branch, and faces disaster until
his butler warns him that TO be en-
! tirely cut off from his family he must
disgrace himself publicly, not merely
! privately For large sum he Is served
! BY young woman who poses as his CO
respondent, giving him hope that after
a divorce, in which he is publicly scored
as the most vile Of human creatures, h
will be left free to live in peace witt
the woman he loves. The divorce OBJ
tanned, the family most astonishingly
returns. It is finally driven off onl!
when Il appears that the divorced wife
has returned to present her one-tim'
husband with an heir.
The thread Of all this Is slender
enough, but it Is embellished by tn,
usual Shavian paradox, which, however
mechanical, is a relief from the slap
stick Of most Broadway humor. Thu
acting Is not unusual and at places las
night It was chiefly In the key of tbs
home talent shocker There was relief
however, in the playing Of Elizabeth
Z Patterson and Kate Morgan, who gave
the garrulous family cousins a flavor
that so light thing as farce rarely
presents.

THE prosecution Of the philadelphia

them continue the same old policy.
Some have changed their tactics TO the
extent Of emphasizing their pro Kaiser

says:

Milwaukee Gives Berlin
Clean Bill Of Health

The Milwaukee HeroLd gives the
Berlin government a clean bill of
health as far as the responsibility
for tho American declaration Of war
on Germany is concerned, and pleads
for an early, that means a German,
peace:
"In other words, II Is in the IN
terest, especially of those circles
which instigated tho declaration of
war, to bring about peace as soon as
possible
The same newspaper exhorts its
readers to defend their Germanism:
at is to be hoped that the citi-
zens of German descent in this city
are not frightened. What we not
only expect from them, but also de-
mand, is that they openly display
the courage of their convictions"
MANY recruits" sneers the Brook
lyner Freie Presse, don't want to
wait longer for their departure to
France. Among them Is the regiment
OF Sing Sing, who would like to take
part in real war if they only had
not lost their liberty
The persecution of Belgian women
by the German conquerors is "justi-
fed" by the New Yorker Herold in
an article that first appeared in the
mendacious Norddeutsche AHgemeine
Zeitung, Of Berlin, captioned "a
Women Sentenced. A Semi-oficial
German Description Of Espionage In
Belgium" The same paper fights the
King bill, which orders the German
language publications in this country
to print English translations of their
editorials in parallel columns. 1t con-
tends that such law would be against
the interests of the United States.
