 BONN|F|ElD AID
 FOR ROAD WORK
Residents of Nearby District Appeal to Interior Department for
 Relief.

Believing that the surest and speediest way to get government aid for road construction into new dis tricts is to appeal directly to all departments exercising authority for and interested in any way in road matters. John c Murphy has ad- dressed letters and sent petitions 50 the interior department, the g,,cr- nor of Alaska, the Alaska territorial road board and others, seeking road aids for the relief of the mining men of the Bonnifield district. And l 1t is his intention to continue to sending letters to those in authority until assurance is given that the road needs of the Bonnifield will receive attention.
 The Bonnifield is one of several promising districts north of Broad Pass, which can be opened 10 devel- opment on large scale as soon as improved transportation facilities are made available. A road, such as has been urged by Mir Murphy and the miners of the Bonnifield, would serve as feeder to the government railroad, creating business for the government and materially lessening the cost of provisions and mining machinery to those who are trying to develop the nearby district.
 These points have been made clear in the letters written by MT. Murphy, and while no assurance has been given that the request for road will be granted immediately, those in authority have been made aware of the importance of road construction. and further similar campaigning, it is believed will eventually ge. results.
 The last mail from the Outside brought the following letter to Mr. Murphy, showing that the road mat ter has ben placed in the hands of the war department, for the consider ation of the Alaska Road commission

1'karen''

"koren," q pldy IN four acts, by HAL
mar Bergstrom, translated from the
Danish By Edavin Bjorhman, presented
ct the Greenmich VILLAGE Theatre.
TT is play for the elect, according to
Charles Darnton, who, in "The Even

Karen is play for people who can listen
and think. Broadway would respond to it
with groans. But some day somebody may
realize that Broadway doesn't mean anything
but pleasant entertainments that playwrghts
who work by the clock tick off their
fingers. Why not wake up casual theatre
goers with the sting of life?
Karen draws dangerously close
to life. Its scandinavian gloom is to be
accepted as matter OF course, but it's outlook
Is clear, penetrating, merciess. I am willing
to admit there is something morbid, if you
like, in TIE Wow that Bergstrom takes of

independent, intellectual and progressive the
aires should so often miscarry through the
absence OF anything like common sense or
ordinary discretion in the direction Of them!
The managers of the pretty little house in
Greenwich Village may have had some special
motive for producing the Karen of the Dan

ana last evening-but it is not easy to guess
what it was. Certain it is that the piece has
nothing special to offer in the way of art.

The Huns stripped off my own green gown
And left me stark and bare;
My sons, they spread red robe down
And wrapped me in it there.
The garb they brought was red as blood
The robe was red as flame;
They yelled me in it where stood
And took away my shame.
Was ever web so costly wove
Or warp so glorious spun?

That wide and scarlet one.
Though younger sons. some happier day.

The Forward Observing Officer

THE glory Of Mars still fingers in this
war with the guns, writes Arthur
Hunt Chute in the January issue of
"Harper's Magazine" describing the work
Of gunners along the Western front Quite
as interesting as any Of the numerous con-
crete pictures given is that of the F. O. 0.
the Forward Observing Officer He is
the newest sort of journalist, the real re-
porter Of the trenches, according to Mr.
Chute:
ain his intelligence duties the F. O. o. is
the newspaper reporter of tho front line.
With periscope and compass, followed by IA
trusty signaller, he moves along the bays Of
the fire-trench in his quest for news. Three
balloons are observed and he takes the bear
ings Of them with hie magnetic compass.
Next he makes note of an aeroplane crossing
tho line, flying low.
Seeing a group eagerly peering at look

which serves as n periscope, he inquiries,

which magnfes ten diameters, on the object
named, and whistles to himself.
"'Yes, you're onto something, all right,
sergeant he exclaims. That's what call
the majors dugout, which we shot up some
time ago, and now they've built it up again,
only little lower. But We'll shoot it up
again tonight with our howitzers. I think
it's a machine-gun emplacement.'
"a little further along he observes a great

together by the F. o. o. are written down
and telephoned back to the artillery group

matte interest, while it is, in many respects,
eminently unsuitable for representation be-
fore a miscellaneous audience. Had it been
the work OF an American dranatist it is pretty
safe TO say that one would have been par
ticularly anxious to bring it before the foot
lights. This does not in the least mean to
imply that it is a meretricious or insincere
work, or that it does not deal with questions
Oh grave and perpetual social interest, or
that it is not. in intent, perfectly and owlishly

OF the relations of the scxes-free love, race

which have been the stock subjects Of certain
advanced phases of modern drama for the
last thirty or forty years, and which are dis
cussed in every form Of platitudinous cruditv
without any grace of reticence or climmer Of
illumination"
This opening paragraph in the criticism
which appeared in "The Brooklyn Eagle"
gives an interesting vista by way of per-
tinent digression:
Some one once remarked about Ibsen that
he sat in a window looking out upon dirty
alley, carefully observed the happenings in
that alley and then wrote plays in which he
told what he had seen, prcfacing his plays
with the words, This is life' 1t was not
life at ALL but only u small segment of it
seen through the glasses of a little, bearded
Scandinavian who rarely saw the sun shine
except when he went to Paris"
The critic felt that this commentary
might we'll stand as a preface to any COM
ment on the present offering at the Viii
lage Theatre
Praise was generally bestowed upon the
work of the players.
