Last Week OF the Columbia Stock
Company.

Next Monday will begin the fare
well week of this popular company
and we can honestly say that, we are
sorry, it is the last week, for we think
that every one in Westminster has
certainly enjoyed the clever perform
ances given. The repertoire for next
week will be fully aS good Ell the
preceding weeks. On Monday THE
Bachelor and the Girl" 4 very
clever four act comedy drama. On
Tuesday they will repeat from last
year The World And His Wife"
This IL the play that made such R
favorable impression here last year.
On Wednesday a brand new play,
Just Plain Molly" a charming
the efforts OF the Columbia Stock
Company. On Thursday, by special
request they will repeat the fairy
story, 'tCinderalla" complete with
gorgeous costumes. MIR. William
Kralce in the role Of Charlotte, one
of the ugly sisters, "a splendid offer
ing. On Friday night the greatest
of all feature plays, The Woman OF
Mystery" The most prOtentiouE play
Of the entire Columbia Stock Com
panies repertoire. Better get your
seats early for this. Saturday matt
nee will be "a Soldiers Sweetheart"
with special farewell reception, On
Saturday night, for the closing per-
Torrance, "The Whole Dam Family"
farce comedy, written for laughing
purposes only. It certainly fulfills
that purpose It's even funnier than
the name sounds and that's going
some.
It was a revelation to the people
OF Westminster last year and has
been again this year, how a company
can put On 90 many different plays in
such short time This shows the
clever management Of the Columbia
Stock Company, for several months
they have been getting ready for their
four weeks stay here, putting on a
new play almost every week in order
To be I'LL shape for Westminster, 9TH
erwise it would be an impossibility
to- produce a different play each night
LII also shows that the Columbia
Stock Company appreciates the good
houses they are receiving here, by
working for them a month ahead Of
time, getting the scenery and COS
tunes ready and above all, getting
the lines OF the play in their heads.
The Columbia Stock Company does
not use a prompter, they have or 80
average Of two rekearsals every day,
and by watching them W. have found
out that al actors life II not Ill a
bed Of roses, when you figure that
they have IN rehearsal at 40 "a. m-,
which lasts until liz and then another
at 2 p. M, which runs until 4.30 p. M,

Washington, July 2.-The movement Of

Secretary Baker and some Of his mill

ASSOCIATED PRESS
TELLS WHAT NEWS
WAS NOT killed

Washington, July 29-At $40 o'clock
Saturday morning, five hours after it's
receipt. the Associated Press received
from the committee on public infor-
nation a request to kill a dispatch
safe arrival of another contingent of
American troops.
The Associated Press saw no reason
for killing the dispatch inasmuch as it
disclosed no military information of a
character to betray the location or
description of the troops. and further
more because the dispatch had been
passed through the official censorship
in Europe
The chief censor Of the war depart
ment told a representative Of the AS
ISOLATED Press he was surprised that
the dispatch had been passed by the
censor abroad because he supposed an
understanding had been reached with
the allied governments as to what
character of news respecting Ameri-
can military forces was to be trans
mitted freely to the United States.
The Associated Press. too, has been
given to understand that such an ar
rangement had been made.
Furthermore, the Associated Press
has before it no request from any re-
sponsible official to submit news Of
such a character, passed by the CEN
sor, to officials in Washington before
being distributed to It's members. On
the other hand, the secretary Of war
on July in statement to editors
permitted press cables from France 10
60 directly to addresses without refer
ence to Washington, with the stipula-
ton that certain classes of !nforma-
ton must not be contained in them.
No such prohibited information is con-
tanned in the dispatch Of Saturday.
Since July no request has been made
of the Associated Press to withhold to
submit dispatches from abroad prior to
publication.
On July the secretary Of war by or1
cial order, arbitrarily took possession Of
all cable dispatches to newspapers and
press associations relating to American
troops abroad and on July and July s
dispatches from France addressed to the
Associated Press in New York were d.
verted to the war department without no
tice, and later delivered to the Washing
ton bureau with, one occasion, a. request
for delegation. which was complied with,

He was practically without guard and
thousands OF citizens, eager to see the

threatened to break UP the parade.
