Ar THE MAJESTIC.

Elsie Ferguson, beautiful 20 a fault,
IS playing at the Majestic In Under
the Greenwood Tree" the remainder Of
this week. Her exquisite personal charms
and inborn ability Of portrayal are the
reasons for the success and beauty OF
the photOplay.
Mary Hamilton, the heroine, Is a
young English society girl who Is more
than bored with the frills and fancles
OF so-called society and longs for sim
pie life which she seeks With her SEQ
retary in a gypsy camp.
Engene O'Brlen is In support OF Miss
Ferguson playing the role OF Jack Hut
ton, and Is most satisfying In both ap-
pearance and In characterization.

TEA PARTY las YEARS AGO.
Boston Harbor Protest Occurred on

Boston celebrated tea party. which
was held l45 wears ago Yesterday, De
c1Inber l6. 1873. has within recent years
been the subject Of attack by lncon-
oclasts. Not content with branding as a
myth the story OF George Washington
and the cherry tree. and casting reflections
on Paul Revere the famous equestrian
hero, the idol-smashers have sought TO
prove that the tea party was IN fact a
beer party. Il was not the spirit OF patrl-
otlsm, but the spirits IInblbed III John
Duggan's tavern which animated the
immortal %, disguised as Indians. ac-
c0rdIng To the assertion made by q mem
Der of the United States Congress, a few
wears ago This assertion naturally
aroused much indignation, and a great
mass of evidence III rcbuttal has been
offered
According To the defenders Of the tea
party, John Duggan, the saloonkeeper
who Is said to have supplied the beer
which fired the PATRIOTISM OF the drinkers
thereof, was only seven wears old al tho
time Of the Boston occurrence, and more
over, was still iii Ireland MIR Duggan
who later sold liquid refreshments to Tho
thirsty of Boston-town, was born IN
1866, and did not come 70 America until
many wears after the tea incident. Ad-
mitting these facts. the allegations Oi the
iconoclaSts, disproved III one important
particular, fall fiat, unless II can be shown
that another John Duggan conducted the
thirst parlor of Boston Whether in
sp,red by indignation or beer, however,
the result OF the tea party was the same.

Our oft-expressed contempt for the Bolsheviki is now be-
coming worldwide. They are still a bunch of crooks who set
up a government in Russia under the dark shadows of the Prus-
sain eagles. Lenine went to Petrograd, by way of Berlin,
where they have held as hostage a blond woman of the world
who is Lenine's goddess-and Trotzky is a cheap Russian agi-
taor from the soap boxes of New York.
But even in Germany the papers are now beginning to
blame the fools who in the kaiser's system of diplomacy have
to substitute lies for the truth and intrigue for open
honesty. The German diplomats with the sword signed a
treaty at Brest-Ltovsk with Frustrated Russia and the men
who signed it for Russia were not Russians and had no author
ity except that founded in their own duplicity. What an in
ternational fabric they have woven with the Prussian sword!
And they seem to be falling out with each other. Ten days
ago it was revealed that Won Hindenburg is not dead, but that
the big brute has been sulking again in his tent. Won linden
burg is said to blame Won LudendOrff for the disasters on the
Marine. AT a recent conference he accused Won Ludendorff, his
former pal, of both imprudence and mismanagement prob
ably referring to the leaving of his western flank unprotected.
This blame seems to have become suddenly universal and there
are rumors that he will be superseded by Won Mackensen, the
man with the most sinister face of all the Prussian helots of
kaiserism. Won Mackensen is of Scotch ancestry, but he has
been so Prusianized that he has forgotten about Scotland and
his God. In Bavaria and Saxony the distrust and disgust is
deepest because the troops that have been sacrificed in their
last madness are mostly from those countries.
