THE HAGUE, Holland. May 2o.-In
the course of the war the little neu-
trail republic of Moresnet has been
almost forgotten. but now the Ger
man newspapers have been paying
some attention to it. From the tone
that plans for the definite annexa-
tion of the tiny state will soon be
made public. The Taegliche Rund-
schau, after recalling that previous
to the war the republic was under
the Joint administration of Belgian
and German commissioners. says:
"Moresnet has remained neutral
since the beginning of the war, and.
as a matter of course, has been ad-
nninistered by the German commits
sioner alone. Conditions In the little
republic, however. are such that some
change has become necessary.
."The people are partly German. part
ly Dutch and partly Belgian The
Germans have been called into the
service of the German army, while
the others have remained at home do
ing nothing but war profiteerinE-
buying up, for example, in Belgium
things much needed in Germany and
selling them at an excessive profit.
and also buying in Germany the
things required in Belgium
Money is now SO plentiful among
all classes of the population that
even boys and girls not yet out of
their teens have literally money to
burn It often happens that a youth,
to show of, will light his cigar with
a five-mark note ($1.25). Such youths
and girls fill the motion picture the
aters in nAix-la-Chapelle. and all sorts
Of excesses are committed"
(Moresnet, which Is also known as
Kelmis and Altenberg, has an area
of about one and half square miles.
It lies on the border Of Belgium and
Prussia, four miles southwest of AK
la-Chapelle. 1t has a population of
about 3,500.)

think a premature, good night.
1t takes a good play to attract this
mucn attention the week that Izetta
Jewel, who 10 held In high esteem by
washington theater goers. returns to
the stage. Perhaps the best tribute to
this re1uvenation of Miss Jewels art
IS the fact that she makes herself q
part OF the play. and does not employ
II as mere tall to her histrionic tai

James NJ. Barrie once made 1t seem
plausible that a mother should throw
man out OF q day coach window be-
cause he left window open and
