AT THE GARRICK.

The dancing fantasy which Is being
given at the Garrick Theatre this week
by Miss Lillian Martin and Miss Mar
tha Baggs Is a reai classic. Both Of
these charming young ladies are grace
ful and wonderfully clever dancers. At
the outset one adopts male costume,
both being dressed in white, and the
partners give an artistic demonstration
Of the lighter phase Of the dance. As
The scenic effect Is In keeping with
their costumes, the performance Is
given a fairylike atmosphere. Next
they give a clown dance. which Is in
teresting and well executed, the act con-
cludlng with a rollicklng revival OF the
old time cake walk The members Of
the company are also good singers,
snd their vocal numbers are a feature
OF the act that Is appreciated.

ing, before it is too late.
hope you will sympathize, and
agree with me, before you send the
colored boys across the sea.
While this great war is in No,
Mans Land, we would have some
equalities and privileges here with
every man. We look over that dis
tant land. We find these United
States, wide and broad, and find
there is a color line drawn
This great war we have to face.
We don't feel like being the back
ward race
Some are great and some are small
But, remember, God made us all.
Our color is black, we are not to
blame.
To take the back seat We are
sometimes ashamed.
When all men can be treated the
same, Then this great war will have
been not in vain.
Sure as the sun rses in the East
and sets in the West The United
States is of all the best.
When we whip the enemy we can
q then live at rest.
The colored boy has nothing to lose,
but everything to gain. We have no
fear of the German submarine;
When the Kaiser is gone then even
his own people may sing the sweet
song of liberty. We fight for the
liberty we love; put our trust in the
Father above.
Goodbye, Audrain, Hello, France.
We are going to win this war and
We'll take the first chance.
Our chance seems small in this land
Our color is black, but We'll bring
victory back. So, do not worry as
we cross the ocean deep.
We don't believe in king and queen.
We'd fight for a government pure
and clean. That's why we don't
favor the submarine. John Brown,

ARE WE WITH OUR ALLIES?

Great Britain's House of Lords
citadel of conservatism tho it be, has
decreed by vote that the woman suf-

settles the matter for Great Britain
Her vote for woman suffrage as a
war measure will be signed, sealed,
and delivered by the Royal assent
within a short time, if indeed the
King has not already signed it.
So much for that picture.
Now look on this: Germany is
belittling the woman suffrage victo-
ries in London and in Washington.
Her press Systematically ignores
those victories. The anti-suffrage
view that votes for women spells ruin
is finding its chief expression in the
arch anti, Germany. Even the very
foundation of this reform does not
exist in the Fatherland," says Ger
many.
Where is America to stand, on this
question? Beside her ally, Great
Britain? Or beside her Teutonic foei
Are we Huns? Or are we Huns?
Or are we blood-brothers of England
in the fight for democracy?
"The very foundation of this re-
form" certainly does exist in Amer
lea. The Lower House of Congress
has cleared the way to an immediate
with her allies, not her foes, on this
question.
On the Senate of the United States
rests the ultimate responsibility.
To the Senate will belong the final
honor of deciding the question to
the credit of America and her allies
