president of the Duryca War Relief
Inc, received in New York Yesterday,
begs the people of this country to send
to France "anything wearablc or usa-

Miss Duryca draws vivid picture Of
the devastated regions as follows:
Dear Friends: returned last night
with Miss Cook and Mrs. Crawford
burton from the most poignant scenes
III the Ardcunes and Argonne, where
we were the first organipation to cross
that battlefield carrying succor to the
civilians. Across the miles we trav-
ersed the battle had ragged only two
weeks before, and dead horses and
German corpacs still lay in the fields
from which | turned shuddering eyes.
The Somme was trigac but this re
glon, soaked by constant rains, cvinced
so profound a dcsolation that n seemed
as though no human hands could have
wrought so pitiess a catastrophe.
"Thc French government sent with
us three gigantic camions. which were
hllcd with our supplies.
"Our first night was at Chaons
where the iIuns had dropped sixty
bombs in one night two weeks ago on
hospital amid their other delicate at
tcnuons to that once beautiful city
Our Windows were stopped with oiled
cotton, but nothing could keep out the
cold and dampness We even had to
take our own stove and food
"The following day We went on
through swamps expressly inundated
by the Huns against the Allied advance
The netN night we spent at the Won

mere have been a number Of plays
TINS season dealing with the manner
IN which persons have been made over
by the war, but "a Little Journey"
adds another factor to the group Of
uplifting agencies. 1t tells of regcn-
Grafton by railroad wreck. There is
no reason to believe, however, that 1t
IS propaganda from the publicity de-
partment of the New Haven.
Miss Rachel Crothers is the author
and the play had its first performance
at the Little Theatre last night 1t
seemed to us curious but middling
good entertainment. BY no manner Of
means can 1T be compared to "Old Lady
o. o. Wh!cn was the last play by Miss
Crothers seen hereabouts. "a Little
Journey has much excellent observa-
ton OF llfe. Its people seem true,
although sketchily drawn Most OF
their talk rings true and much of it is
humorous. The author has not sue
ceeded III enmeshing her people in any
very absorbing story. The plot is sin
guarly ierky. For the greater part
OF the evening nothing very much hap
pens. The play is about a Pullman
car. and life in it moves along anus
ingly with qualifying touches Of
pathos and Il little love, but always
placidly: Then, without warning, out
go the lights as the car turns over in
a convincing railroad wreck. The char
acters of all the persons i'll the car
are profoundly changed by the catas-
trophe, but despite these revolutionary
internal happenings the last act, which
takes place in bit of desert country
beside the track, is keyed in the same
deliberate tempo as the rest.
Though the wreck and the svbse-
quent changes furnished the play with
d message and Il moral, VIC did not find
il an altogether satisfying dramatic
device. It seemed too fast fash Nor
did we find the folk quite az interest
ing after the catastrophe. Without
exception they grew unsefsh to ar
offe i've degree. They seemed less
human The wreck by no means served
TO knock the wind out Of any Of them
for the last act proved more than 8
bit too talky.
