Palace Exudes Patriotism
$4,000 for Liberty Bonds
Raised at Matinee

The programme at the Palace this
week exudes patriotism. Even Fink's
mules are doing their bit cheerfully.
There is a sketch called Cali for
Dem mocracy"; Louise Dresser sings war
songs, and there are the Three Doo-
leys, and the United States Navy jazz
band, to say nothing Of Burr Mcintosh.
The United States Navy Jazz band
drove the audience wild with delight.
AS in the old chorus days, it was neces-
sary to pick out ones ,favorite by say
ing "two from the end on the left" or
"three from the right" But the one
the violin and the banjo and marked
time with his head and his feet was
the one who got our Liberty bond.
Good luck to him.
After the music the boys came into
the third Liberty Loan, while Mr.. Nc
Miss Dresser helped the campaign from
both angles. She pleaded, then col
lected before they could change their
minds. About $4,000 was raised at
the matinee.
The Jazz band was an added feature
and the time allotted to this act was
originally given to Theodore Kosloff
and his Russian Ballet. A slight acci-
dent to one of Koslotf's ankles pre-
vented him from appearing yesterday.
Miss Dresser sang new song. 1t
said some things about "a kimono made
of wood" for the Kaiser.

Degln at once, to continue for about
e1ghteen months, the funds TO be fur
nished by the Carnegie Corporation.
directors for the various branches of
the survey are being chosen to work
under Allen T. Burns, survey director
OF the Cleveland Foundation, an or
ganlzation doing welfare work in
Cleveland.
In statement issued yesterday from
the offices of the Carnegie Corpora
ton, SIG Fifth Avenue, the plans are
announced rs follows:
Our country has suddenly realized
the need for uniting all her people in
common aims and efforts for the COM
mon Welfare. Various agencies have
arisen IN the last twenty-five years, and
ooner lnhuenccs and experiences are
potent in fusing the foreign with the
native born into national solidarity
Many of these have done useful work
1t Is possible that others need to be
added. In any case the present time
seems fitting for an examination of the
various agencies and processes. their
operation. their success and their aims
and usefulness for the future.
For this reason the Carnegie Cor
poratlon of New York has undertaken
TO furnish the money for a study of
the existing methods by which Ameri-
canization is being fostercd."
Colonel Roosevelt, Professor John
Graham Brooks. of Cambridge, and Dr.
John NJ. Glenn, director of the Sage
Foundation, it is stated, have consent
G dto serve on an advisory council to
Mr.. Burns in the conduct and OVERSIGHT
of this study.
"The scope of the inquiry" the state
ment continues, "is indicated by the
following divisions into which the
study has been divided: Schooling of
the immigrant, the press and the the

life, legal protection and correction,
care of health, naturalization and po-

with the centre. If they are unable to
visit the centre nurse or social
worker will 60 to their homes and ad-
minister to their needs there. Advice
concerning diet, exercise and general
care. will be given according to each
case, and complications will be treated
as soon as they arise. A social service de-
partment will care for the needs of the
husband and children of the patient
while she is i'll. The work of the COM

of the Federal Childrens Bureau.

On the Screen
lhe Doctor and the Woman
Seen at the Broadway
Theatre

The Doctor and the Woman" is be-
ing presented at the Broadway Thea
ire this week with Mildred Harris and
Irue boardman in the title roles.
Inc picture is a screen version of
Mary Roberts Rinehart's delightful
story "K," and to the credit of Lois
Weber be it said that the picture is
almost, II not quite, as delightful as
the story.
1T Is the first story which we con.
slider to have been satisfactorily filmed
IN long time, and it was such a
pleasure to watch the tale unfold lust
as one knew it should unfold.
IN the first place, all of the charac
tcrs looked just as one expected them
10 look, with the possible exception of
Dr. Max Wilson. We had fancied him
llttle older and more substantial.
But Mlldred Harris was an ideal Sid
ney rage; True Boardman was yery
nice "k,' and Zella Caull and Carl Mil
,er were exactly as Carlotta and Joe
Drummond ~ should have been.
F. Ihen, too, there was no deviation
from the plot as conceived by the au-
cnor. 1t is so tantalizing when the
story says the heroine is married in
faris and you get all ready for q
glimpse of the Champs Elysees, to have
her merely go to Hoboken instead
BUT Lois Weber took no liberties
Win the script, and in consequence she
mas produced an unusually interesting o

The sketch called "All for Democ-
racy" was not particularly impressive,
although the idea was original and the
makeup of the different characters
was remarkable. P. H. Westphal looked
exactly like President Wilson and
Frank Kenmore as General Grant;
Grant Fireman as General Lee, and
Tony West as Abraham Lincoln, were
so life-like that it gave one an un-
canny feeling.
The Three Dooleys did some things
that were new, but no one was salts

Moon in her usual makeup.

More Credit to Our Allies

Secretary McAdoo's proposal to ex-
tend further loans to our allies will meet
with very general approval. Their credit
is absolutely sound. The credit extended
to them will be used in the purchase Of
goods in America. AS it has turned
out, our direct contribution to the war
in men and arms was, if decisive and
just at the right moment, still relatively
small They bore the brunt of the long
fray.
But much more than loans from our
government to our allies, we should like
to see the prompt fotation of, say,
billion dollar foreign loan under popu-
lar subscription. If this country is ever
to become the international banker and
creditor that its present position en-
free market for foreign securities. The
obligations of our allies, the Anglo
French bonds, the bonds of the French
cities and others are selling here at a
rate that shows how perfunctory our
interest is in the opportunities of world
business.
1t seems paradoxical to say that to
reduce the cost of the loans of our allies
in this country there should be large
flotation of further loans, but that is
nevertheless the fact. Credit goes a
good deal by favor, and we have not yet
got used to free loaning abroad. 1t goes
without saying that the surest way to
build up our export trade and establish
a spillway, as it were, for all our sur
plus goods is to advance these credits in
the largest possible amount There is
a double reason: 1t is good business and
it will be real and genuine service to
the countries which have borne the heavy
burdens of this devastating war.
