Americas Meaning Of Liberty.

Unparalleled in all history is the
mighty sweep OF the America n
army across the Atlantic and into
the forefront of the fighting. Un-
paralleled, too, in all the records of
craftsmanship, are the principles
enunciated by President Wilson for
the safety of democracy. for the
self-determination Of nations, great
and small, and for permanent peace
through international concert. Wash
ington taught the world to know
the meaning of liberty. Wilson is
teaching the world to accept that
meaning for itself.-The Christian

Urban has given free rein to the
fanciful talents, and the curtain rises
upon the Theater Of Varieties, with
Sylvia Vareska, a vaudeville artist,
singing to a cosmopolitan and truly
fanta site audience. Great orange
globes depend from above and throw
their yellow light upon the merry
makers below; there Is a sky OF a
blue so intense that its influence is
felt even after the sun has vanished,
and green draperies are supported
upon lofty columns.
The music is by Kalman and Is
full Of his characteristics, now famil-
lar to those who go to musical plays

threaten to become dissonances; and
that to tease AMI please the ear; ana
among the rest, there Is in the sec
ond act a dominant waltz, Just
