'The women believe the Governors
policy is sound on all the questions of
the day" said Mrs. Livermore "He
has vigorously OPPOSED any attempt to
render ineffective the labor laws of the
state as they apply to women and girl
workers. He has invariably acted
wisely with regard to questions relat-
ing to the home and the welfare Of men,
women and children. Furthermore, the
women of the state realize no such
charges of wrong doing have been
brought against the present admnistra-
tion as those raised at the close Of the

BY Miss Marbury
Too Many New Workers
Regard Campaign as Vau-

A sound scolding for "bond pussy

Loan campaign as sort of national
vaudeville show" was administered
yesterday by Miss Elisabeth Marbury,
speaker for the womens division of
the Liberty Loan Committee
New York has lot Of sympathetic.
kindly minded people, who go down to
the Library or Liberty Altar every
day." said Miss Marbury, "and see the
best vaudeville show they ever saw in
their ]ves-actors, singers, motion
picture stars, wounded soidiers-all for
nothing. They cheer, go away and
come again the next day. But that
isn't selling bonds, and the people who
only stand around and cheer are bond
'pussyfooters' of the worst order"
Miss Marbury attributed great deal
of the apathy of the American people
toward the Fourth Liberty Loan to the
German peace drive.
"German propaganda is having a real
triumph at last, for people don't realize
that they are being fooled, and that is
what the Hun is trying to accomplish" ;"
she declared.

are besieging the Department of State
to get to France, and the vast majority
of them have work to do right here in
our munitions factories, gas mask
plants and snipyards. If they would
get over the idea that it isn't ladylike
to fill shells and would go in and do it
and earn money for Liberty bonds we'd
all believe in their desire to serve.
"We see that attitude in the can

Washington Issues an Ap-

Recruits of Amy Age
Soldiers Uniforms Held Up
for Lack of Help to
Turn Them Out

WASHINGTON. Oct 1l.-Women
now idle are being appealed to by the
Women's Division of the United States
Employment Service to take their
places in essential industries. The
campaign to get women into necessary
branches varies with the plans of
different localities throughout the
country.
A complete survey will be made in
Washington of all women able to do
work of any kind Recruits of any
age will be accepted unless they are
physically unfit fer work. The EN-
ployment Service expects to find out
the number of women in the city who
are not now employed and to discover
Tor what kind of employment each
woman is best fitted.
To bring the need of women war
workers 10 the idle women of Phila-
delphia, the Employment Service has
stationed recruiting age in the city
nall courtyard to enlist women for
service. The city hall is near the
shopping district of Philade,phia and
the agents arc making an appeal to
women shoppers by giving out thou
sands of cards daily calling attention to
sbe emergency need for their services.
In the clothing department of the
Schuylkill Arsenal in Philadelphia, the
completion of soldiers uniforms is be-
ing held 90 for lack of help. Material
on hand for clothing several hundred
thousand soldiers can not be turned
INTO finished product for this reason.
The approach of cold weather renders
this situation the more serious. Women
are needed to meet the lack of work
men.
In placing women in industry, the
Employment Service is governed by the
regulations for their protection laid
down by the Department Of Labor

Excellent Performance O
Tales of Hoffman," at
Park Theatre
By Grenville Vernon

Inc performance of "The Tales Of
Hottmann" last night at the Park The
"'fe was admirable in almost every re-
spect. 1t was far and away the best
lh'ng yet done by the Society of Amer
ican Singers and, all in all, me of the
pest performances of the Offenbach
opera ever heard in New York. If the
Society of American Singers can con-
'lnuc TO give such performances it will
speedily make itself place in New
1ork's musical life. and even the bore
dom OF its infinitely dreary "Daughtcr
OF the Regiment" will be forgiven and
forgotten.
:, There was, of course, no Maurice
Renaud in the parts Of the three
spirits of evil, yet David Bispham ac-
compllshed a vcritablc creation as
the Jew Coppelius, Carl Formes gave
olstlnction to Dappertute and sang the
"'IMirror Song with rare skill. and
Henri Scott was admirably diabolic
as DR. Miracle The title part was
taken by Oryille Harold. Mr.. Harold
III the days of Oscar Hammerstcin pos
sesscd one of the most beautiful tenor
voices ever given to man and precious
little art in its use. He then entered
into light opera and the beauty of his
voice largely departed. Later at the
Century Opera House he proved that
ne had learned how to sing, and his
Romeo was not soon forgotten. But
last night his voice Of eight years ago
returned to him, and his tones were
rich and powerful. Mr.. Herold has
style, a beautiful voice, great clarity
of diction. and fine character sense.
He is to-day an artist of the very first
rank, far and away the finest American
tenor
Miss Ruth Miller was the Doll, and
both vocally and dramatically of high
order of excellence. Miss Miller is al
ways fine actress, but last night she
had her voice, which was warm, full
and of excellent volume. Her singing
was skilfull, her acting infections in
humor and charm. Miss Miller need
not fear comparison in the part with
either Alice Zeprili, Emma Trentini,
or even with Frieda Hempel. Miss
Maggie Teytc was thrice wnsomc An
tonia, and sang her music exquisite
ly. Miss Blanca Saroya was a hand
some Giulietta, while MINNIE. Kathleen
Howard displayed two exhilarating rea-
sons why she should appear in breechcs 8
as Nicklausse.
Richard Hagemon gave a spirited yet
delicate reading of the score, and
Jacques Coini who staged the opera in
old Manhattan days, showed that he can
sang we'll and with spirit. Mr. Hin
shaw and The Society of American
Singers arc to be congratulated In
cldentally the opera was sung in Eng
lish, to an admirable translation by

'Vamping' for Loan,
Theda Bara Makes
Crowd Open Purses
Proves She Can Touch
Mems Pocketbooks as
Well as Their Hearts

Theda Bara, the movie vampire. for
whom men have fought and bled and
died Gin the movies), extracted the last
measure of their devotion yesterday
when she turned their pockets inside
out for the Liberty Loan at the Lib
erty Theatre in front of the Public
Library.
Begging, pleading, scoldng had
brought forth reasonable sales all day
long at the theatre, but vamping as
demonstrated by Miss Bara brought
the bills and pledges showering into
the money boxes of the Stage Women's
War Relief, and it was amply proved
that the woman who can touch mems
hearts can touch their pocketbooks
with equal success. The screen star
broke the record for bond selling at
the little theatre.
Movie Fans Arrive Early.
Movie fans, who made traffic i'm
possible all afternoon in front of the
library, arrived early. and when a trim
little woman with wide eyes was seen
back stage, with an encourage of maids,
press agents, managers and photog
raphers, it was all up for the young
marine who was telling them about it
IN good soldier slang. The young ma
rine was mortal. too. however; and
when he learned that Miss Bara had
arrived he threw up one hand-his
do hnd hoc
'Of course Stage Manager Ray Cox
told the crowd, you're not here for
curiosity to see the greatest vampire
IN the world. You're all here to buy
bonds of patriotic citizen. who hap
pens also to be a screen actress"
The crowd grinned, but kept on cram
ing their necks for peep at the movie
actress.
Signs Photos as Souvenirs
Namping for Liberty bonds proved to
vamping, for Miss Bara simply told
them in a few words what she expected
of them and then got down to bust
MISS, starting it off with a $4,000
pledge of her own. Whereupon there
arose babel of voices and The sales
were on.
Strong men lined up. paid out their
money, received signed photograph
of Miss Bara, sighed ecstatically and
went on their way. For forty minutes
Miss Bara signed her name as fast as
she could write it, until finally the last
male on Fifth Avenue was satisfied
T. S.-For the benefit Of women, who,
of course, could get nowhere near tho
stage, 1T may be added that Miss Bara
wore a mahogany frock, touched with
blue and silver, and beaver hat.
