" HE first offering Of the partner
ship of Maxine Elliott and
William raversham will bloom
Thursday night at Maxine Elliott's
Theatre when Allegiance" will be
brought forth for public approval.
This piece. which is by Prince and
Princess Troubetzkoy, has caused con-
siderable controversy over the point
as to whether or not the theme Is
taken from Friendly Enemies"
The argument on the side of Mr..
Faversham and Miss Elliott is that
Princess Troubetzkoy, who is none
other than Amelie RiVes. conceived
the play from revolving in her mind
the question Of German-Americans in
this country and what might arise in
individual instances. Mr.. Woods. pro-
ducer Of Friendly Enemies" has said
that Miss Elliott and Mr.. Faversham
saw his play in Chicago. And that Is
the evidence.
Mr.. Faversham himself directed the
production, in which Blanche Yurka,
Evelyn Warden, Carl Anthony, Har-
rison Hunter. Charles Meredith and
others will be seen.
The Stadium concerts are drawing
better and have past the experimental
stage. tonight beginning the sixth
week. At the concert tonight Nine.
Arral will return to the concert stage,
after an absence Of five years, due to
the fact that she was in Europe at
the outbreak of war and had consid-
cradle difficulty in getting back.
British-Canadian Night will be cele-
brated Thursday as the big night Of
the week. with a special musical pro.
gramme, embracing many numbers.
1t will be held under the auspices Of
the British Canadian Recruiting Mis-
sion. Col. Roosevelt Is expected to be
present and Brig. Gen. White will be
on hand to give military tone to the
occasion.

MORE SHIPS NEEDED SAYS BRITISH LORD
DECLARES THEIR ALLIES ARE MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO IN-
 CREASE SHIP PRODUCTION.
PRAISES AMERICAN ARMY
For Months Past, Says Sir Eric, the British and Americans Have Been Sinking Submarines as Fast as
 They Are Built.

London. = "Our allies are making every effort to increase their produc- tion of ships Sir Erid Geddes, first lord of the Admiralty, said today, "but despite glowing reports in the American press and great as the eff fort of that country doubtless is, there is no doubt a considerable time must elapse before the desired output is obtained.'
 Sir Eric, in the House of Commons, said the naval forces of the allies in European waters will be increased soon by a force of Brazilian warships.
 For some months," Sir Erie said, i've believe that we and the Ameri- cans have been sinking submarines as fast as they are built"
 He said the rate of exaggerating in German reports of tonnage alleged to have been sunk is increasing stead fly.
 q believe the individual piece worker on ships works as hard now as he did last year when he is at work, Sir Eric continued, but he seems reader to take holidays and we cannot afford holidays. If improve ment is not speedily made, the point where production balances losses will be postponed to . dangerous extent
 The trend of the figures of loss of shipping by enemy action is steadily improving, Sir Eric stated. The loss to the worlds tonnage during Febru- ary was little more than half the loss during February of last year, he said.
 III the water around the British Isles, which had been the enemy's chief field for submarine operations, the greatest successes against the U. boat had been obtained so far, recent ly with the help of American naval forces, said Sir Eric. But he said that conditions in the Mediterranean have been more difficult Losses there accounted for about 30 per cent of merchant ships sunk. Resources for combating the submarines in those waters are less adequate and results less satisfactory. But he said that as resources for combating the subma- rine improve it would be possible to turn attention more to the Mediter- ranean."
 It was perhaps natural" Sir Eric continued, that cooperation between Great Britain and the United States should be extremely close" He paid tribute to the whole-hearted and gen erous devotion to prosecution of the war of every representative of the United States navy.
 The men of all ranks, he said, had the respect and esteem of the officers of the British navy.

WILL CALL OUT IN
 1878 100000 MEN
WAR DEPARTMENT PLANS DO NOT CALL FOR ANY ADDITION
 AL DIVISION IN 1918.
WON'T HINDER HARVESTING
It Has Been Indicated, However, That Relative Small Number of Men Must Be Called Before June f--
 Process May Start in April.

Washington. = While large num- Der of men will be called out during the present year to fill the army, War Department plans do not call for the creation of any additional divisions in 1918.
 The announcement concerning the second draft may outline the manner in which less than 100000 men probably not much in excess of 800,- 000-will be summoned gradually dur ing the year to complete existing or ganizations Delay in announcement as to the next draft is said to be due to uncertainty as to which method of Hllotting quotas to the states is to be followed
 As to the date of the second draft. members of Congress from agricul- tural sections have been assured that no withdrawal of men from civil life was contemplated which would em- barrass harvesting. It has been indi- rated, however, that relatively small number of men must be called before June 1, and that process may start in April, when equipment, cloth ing and quarters will be available. The men are needed to fill up diYi- sions slated for early departure to Europe and also for field army and corps troops not attached. The re- placement detachments also must go at an increasing rate since American troops are holding a sector of the French front and men are being kill ed or wounded every day.
 The completion of the full program of the War Department without ere ating any additional divisions proba- ply will require about 600,000 men. The extent to which it has been nee essary to increase artillery quotas throughout the army and to add spe- cial units of all sorts has caused much surprise and largely accounts for the shortages.
 The number of replacement troops necessary is worked out scientifically, based on experience at the front. A fixed percentage for each arm of the service is established Among the noncombatant arms this is very small, but it is quite high among front line troops. It is estimated that more than 100000 will be necessary for the 1918 program, making SO0,00O necessary
 The last increments of the first draft, which now are being mobilized, totaling about SO,OO0 men, are being used to fill regular and National Guard divisions, which are available for early duty abroad.

EXPECT JAPANESE
 TO ACT QUICKLY
GERMAN NOTICE OF HER lNTEN- TON TO OCCUPY FINLAND
 WILL HASTEN PLANS.

ington.-Military action by Japan in eastern Siberia to check German influence and to protect war stores at Vladivostok is believed here to be imminent The United States has not yet expressed it's views on the step, but it is said the Japanese probably will move quickly to meet the emergency, leaving to the pend- ing diplomatic exchanges develop ment of an understanding with Amer iea and all the allies upon the scope and purposes of the enterprise.
 Dispatches to the Swedish legation saying that Germany has given no- tice of her intention to occupy all Finland will hasten an agreement upon Japan's plans. The German ex- planation to the Swedish Foreign Of flee, which has protested against tue proceeding, that the occupation is to restore order and without intent to take permanent possession is regard ed as a clear indication of what the Teutons may undertake in any part of Russia now that the Bolsheyiki have been forced to accept their hard peace demands.
 A strict censorship in regard to the Siberian question is in force at To kio Possibly the next word out of Japan will be an announcement of something accomplished.
 At the beginning of the Russo-Jap- ooaco uror +ba Tononaco ootad ouicIy ly. Before a declaration of war, a Russian fleet had been smashed and the war half won.
 If it is decided to give Japan a free hand in eastern Siberia it is con ceeded that no other power will be able to give any substantial aid, ow- ing to the lack of available forces.
 The diplomatic situation has re- mained unchanged since the middle of last week. The State Department has not indicated it's view of the new situation created by the signing oi peace articles by the Bolsheviki.
 The American government is said to take the position that it has conf dence in Japana, but that it would be easier to convince neutral nations and would enable America and the allies to defeat any German design to or. ganize the discordant elements in Russia, were there some formal as surance that Russian integrity will not suffer. For this reason the situa- ton is very delicate.
 In Fc1.7,o fi0p ic rvanfoI ord5 iva n the terms of peace signed at Brest- Litovsk. There is no assurance that the terms forced upon Lenine and Trotzky will be accepted by the Rus sian people. A resumption of the Russian defense against Germany would have an effect upon the situa- ton in Siberia, as it might make pos sible friendly agreement between Russia and Japan.

great Russia have ceased
 Petrograd.-In the fear that argu- ment would result in even more oner- ous terms, the Russian delegation at Brest-Litoysk has accepted all the German peace conditions and is about to sign an agreement, according to telegram from the delegates received at the Smolny Institute. The de- mands already have been increased, they reported.
 The message, which was addressed to Premier Lenine and Foreign Minis ter TrotZky, follows:
 "As we anticipated, deliberations on treaty of peace are absolutely use less, and could only make things worse in comparison with the ultima tum of February 21 They might even assume the character of leading to the presentation of another ulti- matum.
 "In view of this fact and in conse- quenee of the Gercans' refusal to cease military action until peace is signed, we have resolved to sign the treaty without discussing its contents and leave after we have attached our signatures. We, therefore, have re- questsd a train, expecting to sign to- day and leave afterwards.
 '.The most serious feature of the new demands. compared with those of February q, is the following:
 gro detach the regions of Kara band, Kars and Batoum from Russian territory, on the pretext of the right of peoples to self-deterTnination.
 The new territorial claims upon Russia are apparently advanced in the interest of Turkey. Batoum, t strongly fortified seaport on the Black Sea coast, in Trans-Caucasia, about 20 miles north of the border of Turkish Armenia, was one of the cities ceded by Turkey to Russia af- ter the Russo-Turkish war of 1S77- 1878. Kars, also in Trans-Caucasia, 105 miles northeast of Erzerum, in Tukish Armenia, has been in dispute between the Turks ag.l the Russians for nearly a century, and finally was eeded to Russia at the same time as was Batoum The other region men toned probably is that of Karabagh, Trans-C -Caueasia, lying to the east of the Kars region and north of the Per sian border.
