Kolinsky-Yes, they pretend they
don't know anything, but when they
90 into business they don't make so
many mistakes.
And accordingly it is Kolinsky who
explains carefully to Angela Deming
and her mother that Deming is prac-
tically bankrupt through short-sighted
trust in his brother, George.
Deming (protesting)-George is a
man who might be called hard, but |

Kolin.ky-I never believed in them.
1t is too dangerous TO wait that long.
Left alone with Kolinsky, Angela con-
fides to him her plan for rescuing her
father from his difficulties.
Angela with determination-Mr. Ko-
linsky-I am going to marry Joseph
Whitley.
Kolinsky-That's a splendid idea
but. how will you get acquainted with
him?
Angela am, mean, met him on
the boat-T-I'm engaged TO him.
Kolinsky-But why didn't you say
you was?
Angela-Because I wasn't. IL only

He's going to be here.
Kolinsky-When?
Angela-To-night.
Kolnsky (excited and Interested
That's elegant. Then ! will stay-to

Angela-Do you think a man like
Joseph Whitley would be willing to
marry a girl who wanted him to put

Despite his Wanted slyness, Kolinsky
is the sympathetic companion to whom
Angela turns after her marriage.

Romance and Arabella" exploits the
whimsical vein of high comedy which
William Hurbut has so frequently
tapped with success, and with Laura
H& Crews in the principal role
boosts a favorite who is at the top of
public estimation. Joseph Ritter is
making the production, and George
Foster Pratt has directed the staging
of the play. Miss Crews's role is de-
scribed as that of a smart, expert
mentally emotional young widow Of
advanced ideas. A foil is supplied by
an Irish woman Of the tenements, to
whom any change in woman's position
appears to be for the worse. The male
characters present a number OF types,
from the practical business man to the
visionary reformer. The purpose is
satire of manners.
Felix KIembe will take the leading
male role. 'Other members of the COM
psny are Alice Augarde Butler, Alice
Putnam, Jennie Lamont, Virginia
Chauvenet, Alfred Lunt, Harry Ashford.
Frank Connor, George K. Denny, Henry
Warwick. Harry Blasting, Tracy Bar

Officials who have charge Of the
movement of munitions here declared
Yesterday that the scheme By which
explosives are handled in New York
harbor preclude any disaster to this
port approximating that at Halifax.
Their assurances were supplemented
by that Of Lieutenant Colonel B. ".
Dunn, explosives expert Of the United
States Ordnance Department and chief
inspector Of the Bureau Of Explosives
maintained here by the Federal gov
erEmont.
The most terrific explosion possible
here could do little more than shatter
windows in Manhattan, Brooklyn and
Staten Island. according to Colonel
Dunn. Nothing more serious than this
could occur, he added, despite the fact
that hundreds of tons Of high eHplo-
sives are leaving this port constantly.
"The regulations by which munitions
are loaded here" said Colonel Dunn
"are based on thoroughly tested tables,
carefully worked out. | believe, at the
time of a serious explosion in Balti-
more some years ago. These tables on
the basis Of which this harbor handles
its munitions, show with absolute scien-
tifc accuracy just how much territory
il endangered by explosions OF various
degrees. They have been verlhed IN
several disasters
The anchorage in which munition
ships ride while they are being loaded
here was selected by the War Depart
ment because ia nse gave the port OF
New Yors certain protection, another

than that. No explosion at that dis

Rumanian troops should associate
themselves with this proposition. A.
consequence hostilities were suspend

front.
"The enemy's troops loudly manifest
cd their satisfaction. and cndeavored
TO approach the Rumanian network
system. The Rumanian troops main
tanned a reserved and dignifed attitude
and rejected every attempt at fraterni-

Wireless dispatches from Berlin say

English Plan
a Compromise

The English government does not
pay for the carriage of government
business. but guarantees the earnings
of the roads, making up for the higher
wages TO employees which IL itself APP
proved.
This English plan is in the nature
of compromise between what the
American railroads are doing now and
straight-out government operation un-
der single government administrator
n is more agreeable to the railroads
than government operation would be,
although they prefer TO believe that
under the present system the maximum
results can be obtained All that the
railroads ask to improve the existing
situation is that the government ap-
point traffic manager of its own
business, so that they would have a
single man to deal with and not hun
dreds of army quartermasters and navy
representatives, each with full author
ity to give them orders for shipments
and each virtually bidding against the
other for transportation. The Allies
have appointed such traffic manager
to handle their business jointly in this
country. And the railroads understand
that whatever else is done here this
government will appoint one.
In addition to this the railroads ask
that they, inftead of France and Rus
sia, be given priority in respect TO OBJ
tanning locomotives. They have about
$500 untitled orders for locomotives.
With traffic manager for government
business and with more locomotives,
the railroads believe that they can do
as much to relieve the freight conges-
tion as the government can do through
any system Of control or operation.
