CLEVER FARCE lMUsEs
AUDIENCE 1t LIBERTY
Small Crowd Sees Excellent
New York Play.

The lively invigorating farce. John
ny Get Your Gun" entertained an au-
dience last night that was far too
small for the merits of the play
Louis Bennison as Johnny Virgins.
the wild, uncouth western cowboy,
who poses as Brother Bill. was easily
the star OF the comedy. Probably
the next to be mentioned is the Duke
Of No Moor" feminist creature who
belongs to the nobility and who seeks
the hand Of Janet. brother Bills sister.
Echlin Gayer, who took the part OF the
Duke, couldn't have impersonated the
idle, money seeking class of nobility
better.
Other characters who deserve men
ton are: Eliza Burnham, the aunt
anxious for the marriage Of her niece
to the duke: Jordan and Pollett, serv-
ants, who have a deathly fear of ro-
bust and boisterous Johnny Virgins;
Janet, whom the duke wants to marry
for her supposedly large fortune, and
the maid who becomes the wife Of the
handsome Johnny. John Milton. the
the Durham fortune, and Bert Whit
ney, who loves the young heiress, ia
net. and later marries her, acted their
parts well.
The head of the Burnham family has
left large fortune TO his daughter.
Janet, who Is accordingly besieged by
the Duke OF No Moor, who has aspira-
tions toward the money. She con-
sents to marry him, much against her
will. Bert Whitney is the man she
really loves. Bert and Johnny Wig
gins arrive from the west with Johnny
posing as brother Bill. Johnny horri-
files the duke, the aunt and the serv-
ants with his actions. He Is finally
able to thwart the contemplated mar
riage. He marries the servant girl
and then forces Milton to return the
money that he has stolen. The play
ends happily with Janet marrying Bert
Whitney.
Applause was frequent and the
audience apparently thoroughly en-
joyed the farce.

LITTLE CHANCE IN
 MACH|N|ST STRIKE Situation Is Said to Be Ad- justing Itself-Neither
 Side Make Statement

There were few developments in the strike called by the Metal Workers council last Wednesday, according to re- ports. Some of the men ordered on strike returned to work yesterday after having left only the day before. It is stated that there is some feeling of disagreement among the metal workers themselves on the subject.
 Little knots of men were noticeable about the street corners all during the day yesterday. and at the entrance to Machinists' hall there was also a large crowd. Discussion of the strike and every phase of the situation was freely in- dulged in by the individual strikers. It Is said that there has been some misun- derstanding among the workers as to the advisability of the strike.
 The officials have very little in con nection with the situation to make pub lie. Most of the meetings are held in the strctest privacy and no whisper of the proceedings get past the closed doors of the meeting room. It is thought by those that are in a position to know, however, that the situation is rapidly ad- justing itself. The claim is made by the council that over 4oo0 men are idle and will remain so until an agreement k reached.

wool sox and then one pair about like a sweater or heavy blanket
 Describing his return through the mud and slush from the front to brigade headquarters he writes:
 When we finally got mile from headquarters we had to climb a steep hill. The wind blew gale and it rained so hard we could not see. We could not use our flashlights on account of the Germans. The ground was full of shell holes several feet deep in water and I guess I fell in 2o of them. I was car rying all my pack and stuff and the ex- ertion of pulling out of tine mud was so great that I had to stop and rest once or twice. When ] arrived at the brigade dugout, though, everything was O. K. They served me as fine dinner as I ever had in my life, chicken and everything. six courses perfectly prepared and served There was good fire. I put on dry clothes. they played the Vietrola for me and the general and all the other high officers treated me fine. My first trip to the front line was fine. I really learned a great deal strengthening out many little points about which I was not quite certain.
 "This trench life is pretty tough on clothes. It will take me sometime to get them cleaned up. When I so in regu- l outfits for that purpose alone.
 T understand that general order about officers uniforms has been issued. It is going 70 make me discard the two woolen uniforms I got from the quarter master in New fork. However, I think can use them in the line, and as they are very tight for me and did not cost much I won't be very badly hurt. We arc also going to abolish the big cam paign hats for officers. We are to have two kinds of caps, one for dress wear and one for service wear. I bought new uniform today English whipcord-for 275 francs. We have to wear whipcord or serge over here, no khaki and no more issue uniforms. 
 q hear that an order is to be issued in a few days regarding leave for men who have been over here for four months or more. We are to get about a week sone- time in February, I understand. I hear that we will be allowed to visit any of the allied countries. If this is true, l think when my turn comes, I shall go to London and England, with maybe a day or two in Scotland. I have already dcne good deal of travelling in France. I want to go to Rome and some of the Italian cities sometime if l can.
 Don't worry about me. I saw lots of fellows who had been over the top dozens of times and had not had a scratch Many of them came over three years ago. By the time this reaches you you will probably be reading in teresting things about our army over here But just remember this always no news is good news"

COL. APPLIN SPEAKS GOOD
 WORD FOR BIRMINGHAM

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Colonel Applin of the British army has Just spent couple of days at this camp, giving several lectures on military sub
 jects and during his stay here has been the guest of the commanding generals mess at division headquarters. As one of the members of the generals staff, I have had the pleasure of hearing Col onel Applin talk informally of his va rious experiences abroad, and in this country, and as in his speeches it is very to listen to him. Having just come from Birmingham (Alabama), he told of the very warm welcome rendered him there of the people to whom he had made talks. of the fine people whom he had met, and of the interesting sights
