LEO DITRICHSTEIN
In HIT OF SEASON
"The Great Lover" at National
Wins Critics Highest
Praise.

A desire to do justice to the per
formance at the National Theater this
week, puts the writer in exactly the
same position, in which the great low.
er himself, Jean Paurel, finds him
self at the close of a long grand
opera career besprinkled with affairss
du occur.
For when at last Paurel thought
that his one and only true "grande
passion" had come, he mourned that
he had no new love words with which
to greet IL, no new expressions, no
means OF appreciation, which had not
been employed many, many times be-
fore
We would write nobly. with new
wofds more full of meaning, heavier
weighted with appreciation Of Leo
Ditrichstein's performance as Jean
Paurel in the play, which he wrote
himself, THE Great Lover"
The Best Possible.
But alas! From time to time the
words, delightful" excellent" "ade-
quateIy motived," noteworthy"
"epochal," and many others have been
pronounced by worthy, and less worthy
TeNleWeTs, IN TeIeTeuCe " pTOuuChiOhS
OF the stage.
There is but one slmile as yet I'M
used. II has been saved for many
years for just some such an occs-
sion. Perhaps IL may mean little to
others, but. it is the highest compli-
ment this writer can bestow.
Many years ago, on the occasion OF
the last appearance in Washington of
E. S. Willard, he played, among other
things, THE Man who Was" and
David Garrick" on the same bill. And
the comment next day was "I'll never
see anything as good as that again"
Hero Wins sympathies.
Leo Ditrichstein, however, gave q
delineation last night which makes
US willing to take back the statement
made in regard to E. s. willard. The
fortunes of Jean Paurel, the grand
opera singer of the many loves, into
whose intimate life one can peep this
week at the National Theater, are fol-
lowed with no less interest and at
tention than were the characterize
lions OF Mr.. willard.
Jean Paurel Is alive today, for was
II not only last night that, at the
height of his career. with the one
great affair at q crisis, that he lost
his voice before a Mortified company
gathered in his dressing room7
Mr.. Ditrichstein was aided in the
of the play by Frederick
and Fanny Hatton. His last piece, of
which he was the author and in which
he was the star, was "The Phantom
Rival" The company which comes
with him to the National is the same
which capably supported his high
standard of work during the years
run In New York last season.

above loyalty to lodges and affiliat-on to the church. We can not understand how the government can control, through interstate commerce, many products of labor, and yet the same government cannot, or will not, lay restraining finger Gpon those who now seek to swell their profits at the door of childhood. We cannot understand how the government could invade states rights al the cost of million white men killed and wounded, set a liberty the Negro slaves who were then not even citizens Of this conn try, and yet the same government cannot lift the burden of modern slaV- cry from the shoulders of little Amer ican citizens.

Any attempt to tamper with laws now safeguarding the lives of the children must be nipped in the bud. It is a fight between humanity and greed, and if is our duty to be with humanity. If we would elevate the human family and make better conditions for men and women and society as a. whole. we must see to it that we elect and send to Washington men who stand for humanity and not for dollars and cents.

THE RESPONSE TO THE LOAN


 There cannot help being. of course, much qualification throughout the country at the manner in which the Liberty loan has been supported and oversubsCri bed. There was TO Gues- ton at the start but what this bond issue, the greatest of it's kind ever of fered to the people of this country would be a pronounced success. The people of this country possessed the money. they understood the justice Of the cause in which it is to be enn- ployed. they recognized the necessity of doing their part in combating the menace which threatens not only this country but every nation in the world and they have joined shoulders on the first call that was made for finances by lending their money to the gov ernment that the war may be sue cessfully prosecuted and the end has tened.
 The people of this country have re- spOnded nobIy to the call and by the large popular subscription they have endorsed the plan of having this coun- try pledge it's wealth as well as it's resources in men and supplies for a victory in behalf of our rights as well as for humanity in general and the extension of democracy throughout the world.
 
 that this should be a loan by the peo- pie and provision was made by ar ranging for the sale of bonds of small denominations to accommodate those of small as well as large means. Much assistance has been rendered by bank ing houses, stores, industries and en- ployers of labor in general in making it possible for subscriptions to be made to tho bonds on the installment plan and the response which has been made shows how generally the peo- pie are anxious to do their part. This is a demonstration not only of the patriotism of the country as display ed through the pocketbook but it shows as nothing else can that the entire country, and not solely the financial institutions are firmly behind the government in the stand which it has taken. To the enemy such an over subscription can give little comfort And not a little qualification is to be obtained from the fact that right here at home, in Norwich and vicin- ity there has been a handsome over subscription of the allotment.

THE DEMAND FOR PRICE FIXING

Though congress has not taken ac- lion upon the food bills, but promises better headway next week. there con- tinues to be a widespread insistence that there should be hastened legisIa- ton which will effectively crush the spectators and the reaners of ab- normal profits who are adding to their riches by squeezing their handsome incomes out of the consumers. It is time that the government took firm hand tn stopping this kind of prac- tice.
 IL does rot apply solely to food, for everyone knows what experience he Is having in regard to coal, and once again the print paper situation has gotten 10 the poin: where the federal trade commission is recommending government control for the purpose of establishing a fair price. In this con- rectioh it has been urged from one source thaT the paper manGfac cturers take into consideration this reccm- mcndation together with the situation which called 1t forth, and get together on 2 fair price themselves which would prevent any price fixing by the government. This of course might be urged in connection with the coal and the food situation for the purpose of anticipating and preventing the part which tho government is being urged to take in behalf of the little fei- lows. but there is no indication that there is any inclination upon the part of those who are responsible for the unjust price to do any such thing Cn- til they are actually forced to, and Tn the meantime they are relying up- on their power to prevent such step

WHY WE ARE AT WAR.

Flag day gave the president another opportunity to set forth the course which this nation is pursuing in the war and he rose to the occas sion in a masterly address at the national cap ftal and in setting forth tho reasons why the United States entered the great world conflict, after so long maintaining its neutrality, he prop erly inquired What great nation in such circumstances would not have taken up arms ?"
 The United States did it's utmost to follow the middle of the road. It re- trained from taking sides just as long as it was possible to do so, and in the opinion of many it waited too long before making the proper preparations which would have brought greater re- time when it could no longer disre- gard the lack of respect for it's rights. the utter disregard for international laws and the horrible manner in which humanity was being treated. As q self respecting nation and one which had regard for it's honor among other nations it was forced to. show its re- sentiment. Germany had gotten to the point where it could no longer dis guise it's real purpose in the war and unless this nation stood up for its tOON US pace H. lAS tSII and did it's part to crush such nlili- tarism as Germany has stood for and continues to insist upon with the ob- ject of becoming the world leader. it was confronted with German domina- ton.
 Germany was not satisfied with con- fning it's methods to the enemy na- tions in Europe but it extended them to the neutrals on all continents. Ii told the world that it must accept it's dictation or fight and this country chose the alternative as the lesser of the two evils. And the world $ at war today because of the unwilling ness to submit to Germany's scheme for mastery.
 For that reason there can be no ec- ceptance of the German plan for peace at this stage. Such is but a scheme to obtain a breathing spell that Germany may renew it's efforts under more fa- vorabIe conditions. The time to free the world from. such a. power is now and it is the duty of every nation which knows and loves liberty and demands respect for it's rights to pros ecute the war to a successful conclu- sion.

SUSPEND THE LrrERAcY TEST.

Although many of the arguments were advanced at the time the legis- lation was before congress and they failed to make the expected impres- sion upon the members of that body, So much so that the measure was passed over the veto of the president and without regard for the former lack of approval on the part of the present chief executives, as well as those who preceded him, it is not sur prising that a move is being made throughout the country for the pur- pose of suspending the operation of the literacy test in the new innigra- tion act wkich has recently gone into effect.
 The labor question has been one of serious proportions in this country for some little time. It has been mani fest1y increased by the added demands which have been made of this nation IS the result of the war, and this lit eracy test is serving to prevent the coming to this country of men who can relieve the situation materially. They may not be able to. read and write, but they are able bodied and respectable. They would unquestion- ably in time make better citizens than some who could pass the requirements ts of the legislation which it is desired to suspend. or some who are already in this country for the benefits they can get and the service which they can render not to this country but to the country of their birth
 It is probable that the detrimental effects and the handicaps which have been placed upon the country by this provision Of the immigration law have not been sufficiently disclosed through it's operation in the brief time that 1t has been in operation to bring about a repeal of the section at this time, but with the abnormal scarcity of la Dor in almost every lire of work 1t is apparent that congress could suspend the operation of this provision for the duration of the war and bring about much benefit to the country. There is going to be no flood Of in1mi grafton while the war continues, there cannot be, but we should get the benefit of those who can and will come and who can pass the requirements except for the iteracy test
