NEW ART OF THE THEATER.

s. A. Elliott, Jr., in the Century:
MANY playgoers now expect to see as
good pictures ON the stage as in a
modern art gallery They expect
bright colors, original designs, new
effects of light and shade and sooth-
ing simplicity, instead of sun, dark, or
faded tints, and scenes built for the
purposes OF the action without any
consistency or beauty of their own,
and hard, unfaltering glares from
borderhgfrts and footlights, and a
multiplicity OF realistic details garn-
ishing every corner of the set. They
are even growing willing to overlook
the probabilities of naturalness for
pleasant wfim of the artists; and
Just as the easel-painter now feels
free to depart from nature and mere
photography so the-new scene-design-
er ventures to present impossible
decorations, trusting in their the
atrical effectiveness to make them ac
ceptable
For the new art of the theater is
above all things of the theater Much
as it owes the painters, the architects

it is above all else the result of the

ODD NEWS FROM LAPLAND.

st. Louis Post Dispatch: How the
war got to the arctic circle is told in
the days news OF the landing of Brit
ish and French troops on the Kola
peninsula, in Russian Lapland, to re-
enforce a British marine detachment
sent ashore there several weeks ago.
It is said that there entente troops
are cooperating with the Bolshevfki
forces in protecting the Mourman
coast and railway from attacks that
are being made by the Finnish white
guard Russian red guards are fight
ing with the British and French, I'M
der the direction of the Mourman Rus
sian soviet war council, which con-
sists Of one Englishman, one French
man and one Russian.
The principal interest in this news
lies in the fact that the Finnish white
guard, which is strongly proGerman,
appears to be trying to seize a rail-
road and seaport outside Finland, in
Russian territory, this railroad and
port being an outlet for Russian trade
for Petrograd
This action, in the interest of Ger
many, was forecast by Oscar Toxic.

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR SHIPPING.

No more encouraging report has come from
any department of the government than that
ti11fst made to the shipping board by the COM
missioner of navigation, showing ship construc-
ton IN April American shipyards turned out
two hundred andforty thousand tons IN April, or
the equivalent OF a -thousand-ton steam
ship every working day of the month. The ex-
cseIience of this record is esta blished by com
par1son with previous records. In January,
eleven vessels were produced, total of ninety
one thousand five hundred and forty-one tons;
in February, sixteen vessels, aggregatrns one
hundred and twenty-tllree thousand, one hun
dred tons; In March twenty-one vessels, aggre-
s-stig one hundred and sixty-six thousand, sew
en- hundred tons. Last month thirty two ships
were built and the tonnage rose to two hundred
and forty Thousand.
With these figures IN mind, one is more like
Nv to hook hopefully to the future than to waste
time IN thinking of what might have been ac-
,omplished if the United States shipping
board, as at first organized had been compe-
tent The figures now made public mean that
many mistakes have been corrected and that
from now on progress Will be extremely rapid
if conditions not wholly in the hands of the
bodybuilding authorities are favorable. This
eonclnsion is justified by one highly significant
fact shown by the building record Two-thirds
of the tonnage produced in April was completed
in the last half of the month"; and better and
better results should be reported from week to
week now that the shipbuilding program is III
scompetent hands.

HOPE FOR RUSSIA.
,ort of M. Gukovsky, the Russian

The report of M. Gukovsky, the Russian
minister Of finance, is certainly not encouragg
ing. It appears that while the semi annual ex
penditure is forty million rubles, the income
amounts to only thirty three million rubies
The minister pictures industrial condltlons
ia the darkest colors. The wages OF employees
have been increased several hundred per cent
and the hours of labor have been reduced, with
the result that the quantity of production has
enormously fallen away. It is impossible Tor
the central government to collect any taxes as
the local and provincial sovlets are levyng as
sessrnents and collecting at will.
This is a sad condition of affairs and should
be warning to all civilized nations to avoid
socialistic experiments in government.
In spite of the facts revealed by Russla1s MN
lister of finance, the future of that unhappy ma
ton is not hopeless In Siberia autonomy has
been established, and the Siberian duma has
taken steps to secure public order, to oppose the
bolsheviki so that the legitimate power OF the
constituent assembly may be safeguarded, and
to counterfeit the further penetration of Russian
territory by enemy powers. The Siberian gov
eminent has appealed to the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the allied powers for assistance IN
carrying out it's plans
Siberia, Prussia's land of promise, has
realized that Leninism is impossible, and the
action of the Siberian duma may be the first
step towards ending the bolshevik usurpation
of authority.

New York Sun: The Sun tobacco
fund won handily IN the friendly con-
test of five war reliefs instituted by
James McCreery & Co., at the Liberty
loan booth in the big store on Thirty
fourth street and Fifth avenue The
announcement was made last night,
with the additional information that
S1,009 will come to this project for
the solace OF our fighting men IN the
war for civilization.
McCreery & Co.. always exhibiting
the widest and deepest patriotism,
were prominent in all the Liberty
bond campaigns and devised an orig
inal feature or two for each. In the
campaign just closed they offered to
pay dollar into war relief fund
for every subscription received. Each
bond investor was permitted TO
choose his beneficiary from this
list: The American Red Cross, the
Jewish war relief, the Knights of
Columbus, the Y. NJ G. A and the
Sun tobacco fund One thousand and
nine subscribers expressed their pre-
ference for the Sun fund This fund
stood high in the list from the start
of the sale, but tn the beginning it
was not quite at the top. For several
days it stood second.
But this was in the first week
and It was yet to get into its
stride. When it did SO it plunged in
to first place and kept it to the end
without difficulty.
1t was the women who won the con-
test for soldiers smokes, a fact
which seems natural enough when
one considers that this fund carries
comfort to their sons, husbands and
brothers on the battle front.
Said one mother yesterday as she
returned to the store to buy her fifth
500 bond:
-I've had praise for what the Sun
fund is doing in every letter received
from my boy in France He tells me
that these gifts of tobacco do more
than anything else to hearten him
and his comrades, not only because

SMOKES FOR SOLDIERS

prove to them that by looking after

friends back home are thinking OF
them. OF course, shall vote for the

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Referring TO
la Des MONIES despatch to the Hawk
Eye telling of the supreme court OF
Iowa sustaining the lower court in
ordering the destruction Of some $50.
900 cigarets, MI. VIM. II. Alice OF
Fort Madison, writes the Hawk-Eye
to make the suggestion that these
smokes" be consigned to the boys
over there for destruction"
Mr.. Atlee objects to this destruc-
ton of class of property that many
of the citizens of Iowa are buying for
the boys In khaki. and suggests that
the lads in France would do good
job at destroying the cigarets.
why not start campaign to save
the 15O,O00?" writes Mr.. Atlee.
The suggestion is a good one.
Without entering into the argu-
ment for and against cigarets and Gig
aret smoking, it Is a known fact that
the soldiers in France long for Gig
arets, have hard time getting them
aind a very large percentage OF sol
diers' letters ask for them Large
sums of money are being collected
throughout the state to provide
smokes" for soldiers and the smoke
the soldiers apparently most want Is
that which comes with a little white
paper rolled around the tobacco.
Tags" the British call them, and the
stag" has become a part OF the sol
dier's equipment
Not long ago it was found that con-
fiscated liquor could be turned over
to the Red Cross for hospital use
why then can't the confiscaled Gig
arets be turned over to the Smokes
for Soldiers organization?
In this time of conservation it does
seem a pity to destroy 100000 art1-
cles that our sildiers in France de
sire so keenly.
