1t Is a time when harmony in the

This should be a favorable rule
under which to write state docu-

Venus continues to give promise

The planets give promise of a
growth of true democracy in the

Alexandria, Va, July s.-Thls
city 10 now awaiting the coming of
the physician who will take charge
Of its sanitary affairs under the

Department. Il was announced this
afternoon that DR.. L. l. Lumsden,

Citizens want something done ani
done quickly. That a general clean
up OF the city Is to be the outcome
there can be no doubt, and that It q
to accomplish big results Is the
opinion Of practically all. This, II
is claimed will relieve conditions here
to q large extent and certainly have
a tendency to keep down typhoid
fever which now exists in the city.
The putting Of the ban on Alex-
andrie by the military authorities at
Camp Humphreys is the sole topic
of discussion among all classes Of
citizens. You may find people who
attribute every cause under the sun
to the existence Of typoid fever here.
At any rate, the movement is going
to wake up the citizens to the fact
that Alexandria practically has been
asleep as to sanitation and in all
probability the order may prove q
blessing In disguise.
After the city is put In a good
sanitary condition, 1t doubtless will
be kept in that way. and all laws re-
garding sanitation be strictly en-
forced.

do their part OF the work. otherwise

quantities Of materials here. the as

BeIasco-ACome Across.s

The title comprehends the play
Label 1t patriotism transformed into
terms of melodrama-A. H. Woods
melodrama in psrticular-and most
OF the task that burdens the cal
loused shoulders Of the review Is
done.
Come Across" disclosed at the
Belasco last night. Is not the type
of play which calls for extended
comment or review. The country
already has sustained and supported
three liberty loan campaigns. The
furtive soul Of the Stacker and the
miser has been the object of public
contumsiy for more than a year.
Even without the aid Of Mr.. Woods
and his production, no one could
say that the theater has been remiss
in its duty of lending loyal support
to the war and to the government
Come Across" is a bucolic melo-
drama of direct descent from Way
Down East" SHORES Acres" THE
Old Homestead" and the other
standard pieces OF this type. A vii
lage miser, who refuses to subscribe
to the liberty loan. dominates the
play. His family had been driven
from his doors. the tragedy of his
self-imposed ostracism had been al
most made complete, when a dream
comes to him-the dream of the
coming OF the Huns. 1t is a bad
dream. quite sufficient to make an
other man of him before the cur
tain on the third act rises. Before
this third act ends, the erstwhile
miser had subscribed s100.O 900 to the
liberty loan and was forcing every
old skin-f1int in the village to
come across"
Robert McWade contributes an
uncommonly fine piece Of acting in
the role OF the miser. Elijah Mel
Vile. His picture of this type was
convincing and authentic. Kath-
crime Barrymore played the char
acter Of his daughter, Mary Melville,
in a sensitive. limpid style which
developed its full values. The usual
characters were all well done, be-
ing played by Frank Monroe, yarl-
ton Macy, Al Ludell and Helen Lo-
we'll.
As footnote II should be added
that Come Across" was written by
Max Radin. and staged by w. II.
Gilmore. The production is ade-
quate.
