OF Broadway.
Broadway received her rather kind
ly, for during the past season she
made a distinct hit in THE Critic 8
Comedy" one of those playlets made
famous by the Washington Square
Players.
Music Lured Her.
Then came one of those inexplain-
able changes that frequently occur
at 1s. Miss Garrison decided that
she wished to do musical work. She
was warned and advised. but she
stretched her sixty inches to the ut
most and said that she was going
to learn musical work from the bot
tom up-which brings US down to the
present-and we find the industrious
young lady playing IN John Cort's
production Of "Fiddiers Three"
Miss Garrison refuses to commit
herself on the question as to whether
she misses the balcony scene from
Romeo and Juliet" but she does
claim that in the near future she
sees just as effective scenes enhanced
by the soothing music and graceful
dancing.
And judging from her almost-pres-
ent past, We should say that this pic.
tured future Is more than probable.

Gently returned from Berlin, said
that In high quarters IN Germany
the question OF clothes and boots was

"a rich man. has only one pair y Of
shoes, while the wife Of one Of the
other ministers there has tried in vain
to get shoes for her children.

NE W YORK CRIES

Heavy Snowfall NuIIifleS All

NEW YORK, Jan. 25-Unless

ments of coal. all the good accom-
plished by the five-day industrial
closing order will have been nulli-
fed by the siX-inch snowfall which
demoralized the movement Of
barges and trains Tuesday, fuel ad-
ministrators declared Tuesday
night They united in expressing
grave concern over what they term
another critical turn in the citys
coal situation"
After he had been notified that
the federal fuel administration had
declined to accede 10 his request
for the pooling of anthracite coal
by railroads having their terminals
in this district. A. H. Wiggin. state
fuel administrator, sent the follow
ing telegram TO Fuel Administrator
Garfield
Our suggestion for pooling is to
meet emergency situation. What
We want is coal 1t is not coming
Take any method YOU please. but
send coal TO New York"
A statement issued by Reeve
Schley. New York county fuel ad-
ministrator, said that less than 90
600 tons of anthracite had reached
the city during the last "A hours.
and that the storm had about put
the finishing touches on conditions
Harry T. Peters, chairman Of the
| conservation committee, declared
there is not enough coal on hand to
ill the priority orders and cover in
dustries
The distribution of fuel at the
docks has been frightful and no one
can blame anybody he said. The
storm just about killed all of the
good the Gve-day closing order ac-

A telegram signed by L. 4. Sneed
| Of the federal fuel administration
made public by Mr.. Wiggin, said
| the pooling Of anthracite coal was

Harden Urges
Kaiser Give Back
Alsace-L Lorraine

AMSTERDAM Jan. 25.-Ger-
many should not take any territory
from the Russian empire and might
give back Alsace-Lorraine to
France, Macmillan Harden de-
clares in Die Zukunft. He says:
He who wishes 10 tear away Po-
land, Courland, Lithuania, Esthonia
and Livonia from the Russian em-
pire makes of this empire a mortal
enemy. for Russia will not always
have Leninistic feelings. These
countries would bring US no advan-
tage. Their economic development
could not i'm the least be helped by
gold fertilization by Germany with
its one hundred and fifty billion
marks OF war debt, and a Slavic
strain through Germany would en-
danger the life of the country, not
merely the life of East Prussia
After our experience in the west, is
