BY Special Correspondent.
TOTTENvILLE, Aug. U.s. The
pageant Columbia Calls that is to be
presented at the Tottenville High
School auditorium tomorrow night for
the benefit of the knitting machine
fund of the Red Cross, promises to be
one of the most elaborate affairs of Its
kind ever presented here. The page
ant portrays many features of Ameri-
ica's part in entering the war. The
affair is being given by the Girls Com
munity Service of which Miss Mary
A. Ayres, district supervisor and Miss
Ouida dig are the directors. The
program viii start at s o'clock.
The pageant opens with a scene of
happy America before the war, SYM
bolized by a dance of Pleasure and her
nymphs watched by Peace. Columbia
soon enters, followed by seven girls
representing the girlhood of America.
She motions to Pleasure to continue
with the dance, and the girls join with
the nymphs. Three war clouds enter
and go among the dancers without be-
ter in a threatening spear dance, and
the girls draw back in terror. After
they have withdraw, the Spirit of War
enters in q wild, barbaric dance. Then
War himself approaches with his
sword-bearer and attended by Hate
and Suffering. He threatens Column
bia who stops him with a command
ing gesture, and he turns away with
arms folded while his attendants
circle about in a weird dance. As they
finish, Pleasure comes forward and
entreats Columbia to leave. She re-
fuses. War then offers her the sword,
hut she refuses hat too. as the girls
and nymphs fall on their knees plead
ingly.
The Marseillaise is heard and Bel
GUM staggers in, followed by the other
allies. Columbia now dismisses Peace.
and grasp the sword from War. The
nymphs and girls fall to the ground
in abject terror. and a group repre-
senting Sorrow enters in a mournful
dance. As they step to one side, Col

entreating them to follow her. They
turn from her, and she Is d~isconsolate

the trouble and touches each girl.
They throw of their disguise and APP
pear in the uniform of service, kneel-
ing to Columbia and placing their
hands on the sword. Here a mother
and a small boy enter, see the group
around Columbia and with a parting
kiss to her son, the mother offers him
too. At this inspiring climax the
