Behind MI1E FootIights
LYRIC

Aside from the fact that the famous rollicking farce comedy, Isis Hop 1 kins." in itself is enough to score a | decided success its run at the Lyric theatre as presented by the Pol Play CTS is more than that as is evidenced by the never ending volleys of ap- plause which has been greeting each and every performance. Rose Mel vile in her palmiest days when the world was at her feet in this notable character, never was given recep- ton such as rendered Miss Alice Clements, the Poh Players leading lady, at the preceding presentations and every indication now points to repetition at each of the succeeding performances.
 In addition to the regular features of the play, the Poli Players have in troduced specialties which have add" ed much to the success of the pro duction Among these Miss Clements scores. decidedly with both songs and dances, of which the Spanish dance is worthy of special mention. Two of her songs, although of the old fash toned kind, are sung with such fervor that the audience goes into raptures. Grant Erwin, the comedian, was never better as in the character of "Obediah," but he has introduced several songs which add much to the part.
 Although the entire story of the play centers about the title role, play ed by Miss Clements, the other char acters are not wanting in attraction and each and every one of the Players is doing his or her best which is say ing a good deal in any production. Besides the good work of the Players the scenic effects are wonderful in both their realism and beauty and add much to the performances. This is particularly true of the country scene in the first act which is laid on a farm near the main road showing the old fashioned farm house, barns and other appurtenanCes.
 Next week the Players will again be called upon to amuse their audiences in the famous comedy success, Some Baby This is a real live up to date comedy farce and will make the most chronic grouch take wings and fly away.

RECONSTRUCTION IN GERMANY

EXtract from a letter received by the National Security League from Rudolph Schmitz, prominent St. Louis manufacturer, a naturahzed American of German birth with two sons in the Army)
 Germany Is working strenuously even now, not feeling ashamed in hid ing behind petticoats. There is dan ger that, in our goodness of heart, we forget what has happened and what kind of people we have been fighting. When the Crown Prince some years ago wished for short and jolly war" there was no great stir of re- sentiment among the Germans; when Bernhardi calmly laid before the Ger man people what he called the neces- sity of war, they were not filled with horror; the directions in the military manual that 'fSchrecklichkeit' must be carried into the ranks of the civil ian population did not bring on any particular criticism. The brutality in cidental to their military training had so prepared the people for just these things that when the time for execu- ton came they were quite ready. There are no indications even now that, beyond the fear and dejection which is theirs under the tremendous defeat, they have seen the error of their ways. Maximilian Harden only a few months ago said something to 1 the effect that, if Germany were
 forced by treaty to give up Alsace-
 Lorraine, the people in due time would
 see to it that there would again be a
 scrap of paper" One of the German
 generals, in a pamphlet issued last
 winter, spoke of the necessity of
 keeping Belgium because fit would be
 needed. as buffer in the next war"
 The foremost national industry in Germany has been for many years the
 preparation for war, and it will take
 a new generation, brought up with a
 different schooling, to so change the
 character of the nation that it can be trusted. Educational processes work
 slowly and it cannot and must not be expected that disaster alone has suffl-
 ciently clarified the German mind that
 it already realizes it's obligation to the rest of the world.
 Politically, the German people have been children, as Bismarck said, and according to their one time Chancel- Tor Von Buelow, they are not a politi- cal people. It is to be hoped that the , new developments in Germany vii , allow that small number of patriotic 2 men to come to the front who have , so nobIy fought for the regeneration

of their country. They could only make themselves heard from exile in Switzerland, but they ought now to have chance to come into the coun- cils of their native land.
 > Germany, during the time before 1870, was a highly respected country and contained all the elements which make life worth living. There must
 be something of that characteristic left among a few and it Is to be hoped that out of that a new and better Germany will arise. But, until that transition has taken place, we must
 be on our guard and, as a people, must
