Some Progress Seen.

Some officials hazarded the view
mat although the deliyorances Of
Count Won IIertling yesterday were
remarkable. unfortunately, for what
they concealed, there was an advance
in the fact that he had responded af.
iirnatively to the four questions
which had really been put to Count
C1ernin The Austrian Premier
II Is, therefore. anticipated that
when Count Czernin replies, as he
indicated he would reply. his answer
to the Presidents essential terms Of

The reasons, officials say. for the

are lack OF official copies of the

Seeks to Force u. S.

Officials intimated To-Day that the
underlying politics Of the speech was
to force or tempt the United States
10 disclose whether or not President
Wilson's four propositions had been
discussed with or approved by The
allies, or, in other words, whether
concessions made to the United States
at any time would be concessions to
the whole Entente
II also was fell that the references
of the chancellor to Egypt, Ireland
and India were thrown out with the
hope that President Wilson, should
ne reply. might discuss those subjects
or that the references TO Great Bri
lain's policy with reference to her
colonial possessions might extract a
reply from Great Britain,
None OF the officials here could or
would venture any opinion as to
whether the United States in her sug
eostiOns or discussions of peace Is
speaking for the allies The general
impression, however appears to be
that President Wilson was speaking
FOR himself alone.

PLAYHOUSE ANNOUNCEMENTS

Mower is charming.
Edgar Stehh has created a new
type OF tramp. really a genial wan
derer. And there IS real art in
Hanks transition into Jonathan's
delirium as a brutal character. For
Jonathan's dreaming has only the
conventional tramps OF childhood
TO draw upon. Hank couldn't be
brutal If he tried, and it is a further
evidence OF Mr. Walkers artistry
that he drags him into the third act
entirely eXtraneously and almost by
the ears. merely 20 give the audi
ence a final glimpse OF the real

This yOungster is easily the most
finished juvenile actor of today, and
in his presentation of the hunch-
hacked wanderer he rises above the
estate of a mere leading man and
merits a place in stardOm. To a
quaint hesitant delivery and a keen
sense of dramatic values he adds a
rare ability Of living and feeling 70

TO rant he doesn't rant. Where
pathos can readily be converted in

AMERICAN GIRLS CARRIED 4
MAIL BAGS.
Three Young Women Intrusted
by French Government With
Important Task For Army
CnRsu1nv,


by French Government With
Important Task For Army
During German Offensive.
American girls are busy in count
less ways 70 win the war in their
own country. as has been shown by
many reports received by the de-
partment of labor, and il has now
developed that they are equally &C
tive in France. hree American girls.
all prominent socially and members
Of widely known New York and
Montana families, have been actins
as mail carriers between Senls and
Nic-sur- Aisne.
News OF their work was received
by the American Committee for De-
vastated France, which has head
quarters at 1t East Thirty-ninth
street, New York City. The young
women began their career as mail
carriers during the first week of
June, when the German army was
making Roadway in its drive toward
Paris. The shortage OF man power
and the congestion OF the railroads,
which We're carrying munitions to
the front, made the mail problem
difhcuIt. and the French government
was glad to avail itself of the ser
vices of the three girls.
They are the Misses Barbara
Allen, daughter of Frederick H..
Allen, of New York; Margaret
Moore, of Butte, Mont; and Miriam
Blagden, of New York. Miss Allen
furnished the motor and the other
young women assisted in handling
the mail sacks.
Senlis is one of the towns nearest
Paris reached by the Germans in
their great rush of 1914. 1t was
badly damaged during their occu-
patton. In taking the mail from that
place to Nic-sur-Aisne the young
women had to make their way as
best they could toward the lighting
line, d task calling for quick de-
cisions and clear thinking, as well
as for plenty of personal courage
and willingness to work hard.
The roads during those days were
not only in the usual bad condition
of shell holes and ruts but the mass
OF moving humanity made travel on
foot or by car a matter of great
elaboration and caution. The
stream of refugees moving out TO
safety with all the possessions they
could carry, and the stream of SOL
diers moving in toward danger with
munition wagons and travelling kit
chens, caused a delay in the routine
of the post, but the work of the
three American girls preserved the
letters safely.
The instance was the first where
the French army has cOnhded the
task OF carrying mail 10 women.
The Committee for Devastated
France is officially a part OF the
| Sixth Army Corps, and is as much
under military orders as any other
unit.
