GUS"
Washington statuary is ridiculous"
II Is "monstrous."
And It is Impossible"
These are the opinions OF Cen Isaac
r. Sherwood, member OF Congress from
Ohio. who, in the role Of art critic, de
nounced washington's statuary, while
800 Congressman, public officials. army
officers. and their wives gasped.
General Sherwood chose as the battle
ground for his attack upon the 'mishts
in marble" the Congress Hall Hotel.
where a notable assemblage had gathered
last night.
His opening attack was upon the God
dess Of Liberty" piece on the dome OF
the Capitol.
Attacks Goddess of Liberty.
"On the dome Of the Capitol" he said,

sword and wearing a helmet filled with

helmet. She is nothing Of the sort
, Armed Liberty should be a man, with
muscles Of iron and his breast gashed
from wounds OF countless wars. We
haven't a real statue OF the Goddess of
Liberty in the United States.

Before his audience had completely
recovered from what some Of them be-
lieved a savage attack on the great
Christopher. the general took up the
statue Of George Washington by
Greenough, which now reposes in the
National Museum.
"Naked George n Disgraee.

Father OF His Country in a chair. naked

hand and a Latin inscription on the

Paul Hicks Cadle, twenty-Six years
old. IL working and waiting. In June
he will again face the world, after
ive years spent in the Atlanta peni-
tentiary and the Lorton Reformatory,
famillarly known as Occoquan.
Dreamer, idealist, and poet Just
turned twenty one, he was sentenced
here In Washington to spend ave
years in prison for false pretensea
He held himself aloof from the
ordinary run OF criminals, reading
and writing most OF the time. He
soon came into favor with the Atlanta
prison officials. Because he was a
printer by trade he became foreman
OF the printshop where the prison
paper, Good Works, is published. He
served three years and eleven months
at Atlanta and was then transferred
to the District institution at Lorton.
Although an inmate OF the reforma'
tory, Cadle could see the same skies
and feel the same sunshine, watch
the moon and stars, study the uni
verse, and think-hs could do all
these things that poets with free
dom do.
He had access TO the typewriter in
the front" office, and here he wrote
his poems and stories. Other times
he wrote with a pencil. See the young
poet himself dark, medium sized
slender, and intent with wistful eyes.
He is an attendant at the tnstitu-
tion's hospital, and is often up and
about twenty-four hours a day; but
with his three companions" always
by him.
His Three "COmpanlOas."
His companions" are the three
books he reads mostly. They are the
Bible, Shakespeare. and a Webster's
Dictionary. He has also read most OF
the books in the institutions library
When at liberty IN June, II is the
young poets intention to enter the
literary field. He has written a co.
900 word book which he hopes to
publish. Recently he has written
definition OF the true American. and
has entered 1t in q prize contest In
Baltimore for the best creed on true
Americanism.
There is nothing in the verses Of
Paul Hicks Cadle that suggests he
IL a prisoner. and they are not al
ways the lines that one would sup
pose a man twenty-six years old
would write in a reformatory front
office" after a hard days work in the
hospital. Some OF the lines are pa
triotic-
To let the world know what he is
doing while serving his last days In
Occoquan, Paul Hicks Cradle submits
to The Times for publication for the
FIRST time several OF his verses.

Our flag as It flows from tho mast

Is in danger Of the outlaw, maui

Our right to life, liberty and happi-

Tho right that our forefathers
fought for,
That made us a people among men:
The ideals we've held up and prayed
for,
Are they to be lowered mid can

Is Civilization a reality or a monger:
Is IL to be laid aside for a fiend f:
Is Civilization brutality or hunger
Or does it stand yet for the clean!
Is Prussianism so brilliantly attrsc-

That you'd be ruled by a scott or

That you'd get down on your knees

TEAL COMPANY
 MAKES BIG HI

The Teal company opened Wednes- day night with another of Geo. NJ. Coh- ans well known but highly popular plays, "Forty-five Minutes From Broadway" which is a scream from start to finish.
 Oryille Harris as Tom Bennett, who is left a fortune, decides that he can not desert his pal and gives the Kid a job as his private secretary. Every thing runs smoothly until Bennetts fiance and her mother arrive. Made line Lee as Mrs. Dean and Hazel Lake as her daughter Flora, take an imme- diate dislike to Kid" and also the win ming maid Mary. The pair immediate ly begin to get themselves disliked by all the members of the household in- cluding Bennett. Complications de- velop. Mrs. Dean meets a former ac- Quaintance, Dan Cronin, and is led into giving the combination of Ben nett's safe to him, resulting in the at tempt at robbery of the house. Cronin is arrested and Mrs. Dean decides that she had better get back to Broadway as quickly as possible. Meanwhile Kid" Burns arrives at the conclusion that Mary is the kind of a girl he would marry if he were a millionaire He finds a will left by Toms uncle which leaves the fortune to Mary. Tom shows the will to Mary but tells her he is not good enough to marry her because she is rich and he is not. Mary decides in favor of Kid" and tears up the will and Tom after dis charging Kid for insulting the Deans presents them with home in New Rochelle.
 Fritz Fields is comedy from the min ute he steps on the stage as Kid Burns who knows a whole lot more about horse racing and Broadway than the quiet life of the small town of New Rochelle and the command of English and manners that go with the make ing of a gentleman and private secre taTy.
 Pansy De La Cour is extremely clev- CT in her part as Mary and it enables her to display her talents and person ality to the utmost. Orville Harris as Tom Bennett, Hazel Lake and Made line Lee as mother and daughter all have vehicles in which their dramatic talent is well displayed. Art Phillips as the butler and Homer Long as Dan Cronin come in for their share of rraise. Needless to say the Teal Ducklings came through with their usual line of classy dancing and sing ing numbers.
 Miss Lakes song, "The Sandstorm Division is Coming" created a sensa- tion. It was written at Camp Cody in Deming, N. M., for thessoldiers by Bert Beyerstedt, one of the members of the company and has been adopted by them as their divisional anthem. The words are excellent, breathe per dition for the kaiser, while the music is better MT Beyerstedt also uses his fiddle in a speciality playing every thing from ragtime to classic. He is a fiddler of renown and is the best that has been in this part of the country in many wears

more than a national holiday. It is an international holiday. While we rejoice over liberty achieved for our country, we should consecrate our selves to the defense of that liberty whi,h is imperiled by Prussian miii- tarism. On this day of glorious mem ories, America with stern will and un- alterable purpose, re-dedicatcs her all to liberty and looks into the future with supreme faith that God will crown with victory the cause of the nations arrayed against autocracy"
 Secretary Wilson said:
 With the exception of the Fourth Of July. 177G. this fourth of July is the most significant in the history of the republic On this fateful day for this time ia our annals We are face to face with the question whether freedom. as we understand it. shall continue to exist in the world. or whether the feudalism which we once deemed obso- lete, shall be reimposed upon man. kind. If the tide of battle could be adverse. it would mean that for many years the best hopes of human kind would come to disappointment or to naught. In that reflection lies the inspiration of the war"
