distinctive national quality Of this

at the National Theater yesterday, In
an all-Russian program. so great
was the enthusiasm II aroused mat

brought to its feet.

Of the people, a new music, a new

The orchestra gave these tone-pic-

in the memory.
The symphony was the Borodin In

CIVIL SERVICE BARS
DOWN FOR GUARD
Wilson Restores Border Vet
Grams to Rating In U. S.
Employment.

National Guardsmen OF the District
who held Government positions before
being called into service with the
guard on the Mexican border, will be
allowed 10 re-enter those positions,
lost by the expiration OF their terms
of grace ollowed by the Civil Ser
vice Commission for being absent
from their positions during the bOr-
der service.
This was made possible today by an
executive order issued by President
Wilson restoring to their civil service
status all National Guardsmen. who.
as a result of their border service.
lost their rating. Several thousand
guardsmen in the United States will
be affected.
This order will not affect the Dis
trict Guardsmen so much as might be
expected. The majority OF the
guardsmen who returned from the
border Immediately regaIned their
civil service status through the eff
forts Of the Department Of Labor's
employment Bureau.
There are, however,, many District
Guardsmen who, by this order, will be
allowed to re-enter the Government
service.
Three hundred and twenty-eisht
members OF the District National
Guard have been placed in paying
positions by the Department of La
Dor. aided by the employment COM
mittee or the Military Service Legion.
John L. Magrew, OF the Employ
ment Bureau of the Department OF
Labor, stated today. that there are
still 100 applications for positions on
file at the Department of Labor from
national guardsmen who have not
been placed in positions. The fact
that these applications were made
out while the Euardsmen were on
the border and many probably have
found positions themselves since re-
turning to Washington. leads those
in charge OF the employment bu-
reaus to believe there are only ap-
proximately fifty guardsmen still out
of work.
Mr.. Magrew stated today there are
still many positions open for the
guardsmen, and there IL no doubt
but they all will be placer within
short time.

SAM HOWE SEES
FISH DROWN DUCK
Gayety Comedian 0utrivals
Munchausen in Telling
Of Exploit.

Sam Howe, starring in his own
show at the Gayety this week, is some
comedian and teller OF fish tales.
One OF his most weird concerns q
fishing trip to an island lake In New
York with Fred Erwin, Soily Ward
and other members Of his company as
guests. He took the help" along to
show them what he called "a stunt in
fishing"
"on the shores OF this lake lived q
fArIUer who had a large flock of
ducks" he said today, relating the
story. 1--WE took six ducks out in a
boat, attached a line with a spoon
hook to each OF their legs and turned
them loose about fifty yeards from
land.
Bass browns One Duck.
THE ducks became frightened and
set out quackIng for shore. The
spoon hooks soon had attracted q
whole school Of big bass and the
ducks began to splash out Of the
water before they had gone twenty
yards.
''one duck was drowned by being
pulled under, but we rescued the
other five and on each line was a big
bass, one Weighing nearly five
pounds.
Ever since then my luck has been
better" said the comedian. Fishing
is my hobby, and all summer you
can find me quartered along the
sound of Long Island with . pole
in my hand.
"Its great sport to drive away
care and trouble"
Ten years in burlesque have
taught Sam Howe the value OF effic-
iency in show. organization. where
attention to details pays dividends,
Just as in any other business.

The stage. morally and pfctur-
esqueIy, is growing better. in his
opinion, and next year will witness
