SHOW WAS A SUCCESS.

The home talent play given at the
Porter school last week Saturday
night was a decided success. The at
tendance Is reported to have been the
biggest that ever attended an enter
tainment at the school.
The audience was very well pleased
with the evenings entertainment and
only the most favorable comment has
been heard of the affair since II was
put on.
The stars of the east were, l.. Negel-
berg, "Vic" Johnson and Roy Weeks.
The former impersonated physician
and the second mentioned was his
servant. one OF those servants WHO
occasionally usurp the place OF the
master during the latter's absence.
The last mentioned impersonated an
old German with a large family, and
took the part well. He also starred
in some vaudeville sunts.
The affair was financial success,
and we understand that II will go a
long way II not entirely wipe out the
deficit cause by the failure of one
number OF the ylceum course.

MEAT SUBSTITUTES

The average housewife has for years
prepared and served dishes which are
In reality excellent meat substitutes,
although she has not thought OF them
in that way. BY planning her menus
so that one or more OF these dishes
will be served on the special days, the
problem OF "Meatless Day" will cause
little Inconvenience.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS DULL
Extresnes Gains of Two to Five Points
 Mere Made in lndustrals.

New York, March 5.-Indications of easier money and less apprehensive view of the foreign situation served in part to counteract recent unfavorable influences in today's wholly insignifi- cant stock market.
 Dealings again were very light. Ex- treme gains of two to five points were registered by Industrial Alcohol, Gen. eral Motors, Baldwin Locomotive. the
 petroleums, Sumatra Tobacco, Utah Copper and Wilson Packing, these re- sulting largely from pressure. Shippings were sustained in their enc to three point gains by circum- stantial rumors of enlarged dividends. U. S. Steel moved within a one point radius, finishing at a gain of practi- cally point Lackawanna Steel, Srucible Steel and Republic Iron were materially stronger, the latter gain ing three points.
 Trading in rails was at minimum, some of the active issues remaining
 unquoted throughout the session. Coal
 CTS displayed some animation, minor
 recessions being recovered later Sales amounted to 2S5, ,000 shares Call money fell to 2 1-2 per cent after large d>xnand had been met at , and 1-2 Der cent. A few short time loans were reported at per cent
 on prime collateral.
 | Investment bonds yielded slightly tc
 the accompaniment of a general move l ment in that quarter. Liberty issues continued to ease, especially the sec | ond fours. Total sales, par value, az gregated $5,125, 900
 U. s. bonds, old issues, were un. | changed on call.

BRITISH AND GERMAN
 PRocLAMATIoNs
An Interesting Study in Comparative
 Culture.

The two documents below form a striking contrast One is the official proclamation of General AlIenby, the British commander -in- chief in Pales- tine, upon the occasion of the British entry into Jerusalem; the other is the official procla nation issued by the headquarters of the German military government at Udine to the inhabit- ants remaining in the conquered ltal- ian territory.
 If fresh proof is needed of the differ ent manner in which Great Britain and Germany wage war, it can be found in perusal of the proclama tions as follows:
 Proclamation Of General Ailenby read to the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the steps of the citadel in Arabic, Hebrew English, French, Italian, Greek and Russian.
 To the inhabitants of Jerusalem the
 Blessed and the people dwelling in
 the vicinity:
 The defeat inflicted upon the Turks N& the troops under my command has resulted in the occupation of your city bv my forces. I. therefore, here and now. proclaim it to be under martial law under wh4ch form of adminfstra- ton it will remain % long as military considerations make it necessary. However, lest any of you should be alarmed by reason of your experience at the hands of the enemy who has re- tired. I hereby inform you that it is my desire that every person should pursue his lawful business without fear of interruption.
 Furthermore, since your city is re- garded with affection by three of the great religions of mankind, and its soil has been consecrated by the prayers and pilgrimages of devout people of these three religions for many cen turies. therefore do I make it known unto you that every sacred building monument holy spot, shrine, tradition al site, endowment, pious beduest, or customary phace of prayer, wdll be maintained and protected according to the existing customs and beliefs of those to whose faiths they are sacred Guards have been placed at Bethle hem and at Rachers tomb. The tomb at Hebron has been placed under ex elusive Moslem control.

 The law in New Hampshire author izing the payment of damage for in juries to live stock caused by persons hunting deer has been modified so that in future such damages will be assess led by the commissioner of agriculture and paid from the fish and game fund Several measures affecting private game preserves merit mention. Texas fexempted from taxation buffalo kepi in captivity, while Oklahoma exempt ed not only buffalo, but also deer, elk and antelope.

JACK PAGAN AFTER
 EASTERN LEAGUE FRANCHISE
Wants Eastern League Club in Prov idence if International Fails To op- crate.

Old time Eastern fans will remem- Der Jack Egan. manager last season of the Providence club in the Inter national league. Eagan went to Springfield Friday to see what he could see and hear what he could hear. He wants to operate an east ern league franchise in Providence this season and is optimistic as can be over the prospects of doing it. In the matter of bucking, he says he has no cause for worry None of the Provi- dence directors, as directors of that club are interested in the proposition, but some of. them as individuals would string along with Eagan in the venture He was assured that Provi- dence would be liked as a useful merger city, but as Providence cannot do business now pending the signing of the death warrant of the inter- national league, Eagan had nothing to offer and appeared simply in the role of seeker of a franchise in case something should turn up. He doesn't question but what there will be a chance for him. providing the Eastern league Is agreeable and that goes without saying.
 Eagan used to umpire in the old ca stern league and also played at old Hampden park. He is an aggressive i type of man. keen witted and full of 1 ideas. Don't think for d minute he i hasn't. Many is the time I have ridden to my hotel here in Spring i field at the bottom of bus to escape 1 the rocks. They used to drop emoff | from the spot where the Arch is now located and, some of the rocks were as big as a clothes basket. Oh, yes, used to have some experiences. But then I liked it. 1 never backed up and by and by they grew to like me. y
 Eagan likes the eastern league prop osition and hopes to be able to. ope- Frate a club in Prividence this season. The Sunday baseball proposition is one of the main factors in the situation, to his view of things. as with Provi- dence in, the eastern league can play Sunday ball every week. Before start l ing the championship season, Eagan book in big league clubs. He has al ready arranged for a game between the Boston Braves and Washington club of the American league for contest in April.
 If the eastern league should get Jer- sey City into it's circuit Eagan would like itl much better Jersey City is a great Sunday town, says Fla gan, and ought to go big this season. He
 
 circuit to belong to and holds a san guine view of the coming season We can't lose much this year, he declared, "and after the war there's going to be big chance to make some money worth while
 One of the reasons why Eagan sees a brilliant future ahead for base ball in New England is the attitude taken toward roller polo. He points out that roller polo is a mans game and that they're turning em away tr many of the cities where the game has been going so strong this winter and with that foothold gained for sport Eagan figures that baseball is bound to benefit.
 He figures as there is no difference between the International and Eastern league prices, that part of it ought not to bother the establishing of 8 merger team in the Rhode Island city

Laioie With lndianapoIis.

Larry Lajoie, former major league star and manager of the Toronto In ternational league club, will play first base and manage the Indianapolis Am erican association team the coming season, provided he can obtain his re- lease from Toronto. Lajoie and James G. Magill, owner of the Indianapolis franchise after a conference. stated that an agreement on terms had been reached with Lajoie and that in all probability he would pilot the Indians, succeeding Jack Hendricks, who is now manager of the t Louis Nation als
 In baseball circles here 1t is regard ed as highly improbable that the In- ternational league will start the sea son and for that reason MeGilla feels certain that Lajoie will hold down first base for the local club. Jack Leary, who played first base last sea son for the Indians, is. now in the navy.
 More than 100 applications for the job have been received by McGill. but according to his own statement. Lajoie is the only player to whom an offer was made.

Twenty One Braves Sian.

Twenty-one of the 27 members of the Boston National league baseball club who will begin spring training at Miami Fla, two weeks hence, have sent in their signed contracts, and of this number IT will receive higher salaries than last year.
 Patrons of baseball are not con- cerned in the amounts paid players, " said Percy D. Haughton, president of the club, but in view of all the talk recently about slashing it is only fair to state that there have been no sweeping reductions such as few players whose demands are out of all reason, would make. it appear. Of our 27 players r were sent contracts that showed increases over what they received last season; four will get the same pay as heretofore, while only six have been reduced in salary over their 1917 figures
 'tThe six players who have not sign ed know what has been offered them and we know in fainess to ourselves and to other men on the team that we cannot and will not offer them any more. But I believe all will come into the family fold long before the team starts south.
