Recognition Of Labor
by Peace Conference
Demanded by Britons

London, Dec. 1.-The British la
Dor party, in its election manifest
to the voters, condems any form OF
economic war and demands as an
essential part of the peace treaty
that the international labor charter
be incorporated in e structure OF
a league of nations. The party de-
mands the immediate withdrawal OF
allied forces from Russia and the
immediate restoration of the work
ers' international; claims freedom
for Ireland and India as demo
cratic right and urges self-deter-
mination for British subject peoples
1t advocates the removal of all war
time restrictions and the complete
abolition of CONSUMPTION.
The manifesto says the labor
party regards land naturalization as
vital necessity and urges imme-
date naturalization of mines, rail-
ways, shipping, armame and cleo
trio power. 1t demands the imme-
date erection Of 100000 good
houses by the state and better pay
and conditions for workingmen. The
party declares its opposition to tar,
ifs.
A special tax on capital is urged
so as to meet the payment of the
war debt. lnsistence is laid on
heavily graduated direct tax with tle
raising of the exemption limit. This
is stated to be labor's definition Of
the conservation of wealth.

Vaudeville at the Orpheum.

Where Things Happen" one of
the interesting features in this
weeks vaudeville bill at the Or
pheum, is unusually impressive, with
touch of tender sentiment and a
bit of comedy here and there to re-
lieve the tension. The theme,
which was written by Richard Mad
den, centers upon two Yank privates
who are first observed in No Mans
Land While attending Ed, who
has been wounded, Jim encounters
Boche who sneaks up and, of
course, is hors de combat Jim and
Ed are seen in a hospital where
Kate, Eds sweetheart, attends
them. The decoration of the twain
by French officer is cleverly por-
trayed. Jim sends his war cross
home to his mother and the next
scene shows the mother with let
ter from her boy. Much human in
terest is crowded into the little
drama, which is presented in six
scenes.
Marguerite Farrell, THE Kelly
Girl" is in the Vesta Victoria and
Alice Lloyd class. Her character
songs and her pleasing personality
made decided hit yesterday. Rev.
Frank w. German, appearing in the
Cloth" rose up above the novelty
of his appearance by singing in a
voice which won several encores.
Mrs. Thomas Whiffen, venerable ex-
ponent of the legitimate drama, is
accompanied by Peggy Dale Whit
fen and Kniffen Gardner in skit,
Foxy Grandma" The efforts of a
woman 70 years old to master mod
ern slang, furnishes considerable
comedy.
Three O'Gorman Girls" appear
in military melange of instru-
mental and vocal music. The Gre
ole Fashion Plate" is surprise
which would be spoiled by the tell
ing. Georgalis Trio are expert
marksmen. The official weekly war
review and the Orpheum travel
weekly are the usual motion picture
offerings.

Flags Waving from
Train Windows Give
Thrill to u. S. Patrols

American Army of Occupation,
Dec. 1.-American patrols along the
Moselle river had a great thrill
Wednesday when they reached the
German side of the river along the
railroad from Treves to Metz, which
parallels the Moselle. Passenger
trains had been operated as usual
since the Americans reached the
western bank and when an apparent
ly ordinary passenger train appeared
the Americans paid no attention to
it.
Suddenly a yell came from the
first coach. Then a little French
flag was waved frantically from the
window by a blue uniformed arm.
A second later a British flag hutter-
ed from a window and the cheers
increased in volume.
Before the patrols realized what
had happened more cheers were
heard and from one of the two rear
coaches an American flag suddenly
appeared, waving vigorously.
The train consisted of II coaches,
everyone of which was filled with
French, British and American re-
leased soldiers being taken by the
Germans to Metz The patrols
were the first of the allied troops
to be seen by the prisoners since
the signing of the armistice.

AUSTR|ANS TURN

IN HOUR OF NEED
Food Conditions in Vienna
Growing Steadily Worse
and Political Situa-
ton Pathetic.

Vienna, Dec. 1.-The grippe has
become prevalent again in this city
and at Budapest, with more fatal
results than in the former epidemic,
although the cases as yet are not
so numerous.
Vienna has taken on the appear
ance of war zone city, all lights
being turned low in order to save
coal, All houses shut up at 8
o'clock, the stores and restaurants
at 9 and the cafes at 10.
The political situation here is pa
thetic. There is talk of a revolution
on all sides, though those proposing
to overthrow the government admit
the uselessness of such an action.
The correspondent, whose pres
ence is known throughout the city,
has many visitors, one OF whom
said he represented political
group which wished to know if it
were possible to annex Austria to
the United States. He said that
Austria was now in a hopeless stu.
alton, surrounded by enemies, both
men and women, who were ruth
lessly robbing.
The correspondents visitors who
reached such numbers as almost to
prevent him and the other CORE
spondents from preparing dis
patches, wish either to write to
friends or relatives in the United
States or else to go there to work.
Food conditions, in Vienna are
gradually becoming worse. with the
poor eating black bread in small
quantities and soup made Of
water and baked -four or vegetables.
The lack of fats is undermining
strength, even in the case of the
rich, who are able to eat large but
unsatisfying food portions. 1t is
certain there are some provisions
in the country districts, but the
farmers part with their food sup
plies only to spectators in ex-
change for the shoes. clothes or
money they need.
In the poor quarters of Vienna
the women say they have no under.
clothing, all the pre-war stocks hav-
ing been used up. 1t is family ca
lamity when it is necessary to buy
shoes for any member, since the
purchase means half a months sal
airy. 1t is a familiar sight in the
restaurants, where meals cost So
and upwards, to see patrons carry
ing off scraps of food.

William Hodge in NelU
Comedy at the Boyd
M R. HODGE is himself tom

M R. HODGE is himself a tom
Wl ic for tired theater- goers
7 similar to his prescription
for the hypochondriacs he set on
their pins in "A Cure for Curables. -"
After we have become surfeited,
overfed and more or less disturbed
in mental and moral vision by prob
lens and complications as expound-
ed in modern plays, it is real re-
lief to sit and watch one so simple
as this latest of Mr.. Hodge; simple
only as clear water is uncomplex,
and as refreshing. His own droilery
is subdued, but not the less certain
because devoid of any tendency to
assertiveness, and in this instance
he has adopted an unusual expe-
dent of allowing others to do most
OF the acting and nearly all of the
story telling for him.
Miss Clara Moores is charmingly
sincere in really worthwhile role.
and certainly seems to be realizing
the prophecy of the gypsy who fore
told she would be a star in time.
Surrounding these principals is as
fine a galaxy of actors as one cares
to witness. They start out as a
sadly discouraged lot of people,
suffering from imaginary ailments,
but chiefly from laziness, and wind
up husky buch of male and female
farm hands, digging in the ground
for the fun of it. A little touch of
melodrama savors the comedy, but
the scheming william is taken in his
own gin, and arrested by the same
sheriff whom he summonded to
seize the hero. At the least one
wedding is in prospect when the final
curtain goes down.
Mr.. Hodge got a warm reception
at the Boyd last night, and gracious
ly acknowledged the same. Play and
players alike are deserving, and for
the next three nights the Boyd ought
to be packed.

lat THE THEATERS
"TaiL0r-Made Man" at
Brandeis Makes Hit

THE universal appeal of daring.
of success and of bluff" are
- largely responsible for the big
hit scored last night at the Brandeis
by Harry James Smiths "A Tailor
Made Man" Other reasons for this
success are the excellent acting o:
the large cast, and the true comedy
put into the lines and plot by the
author and so deliciously interpre-
ted by the principal character.
Our chief hero, John Paul Bart,
was played by Richard Sterling in
faultless manner, not overdone
though overriding would be easy in
such a part. There is an appealing
wistfullness in this humble young
tailor's apprentice who believes in
his destiny. And everybody is with
him, heart and soul, when he sallies
out of the tailor shop in the Dor
rowed evening clothes of a patron
and goes to make his great bluff at
he party in swelldon where Abra-
ham Nathan, the shipbuildging mag
nate is to appear Redheld Clarke
played this latter part with admira-
Bile aplomb.
But in the third act, when our
hero has carried out all his plans,
when he stands on the pinnacle, he
decides it is all nothing but smoke
and ashes" for he loves Tanya
Huber back i'll the tailor shop. And
the romance is fixed up in admirable
fashion in the last act Isabel
Withers. as the heroine has the rare
gift of registering much emotion in
the hearts of an audience without
showing an undue amount on the
stage.
The moral of the play, if it has
one, would be that a man can be
whatever he believes he can be.
1t will be at the Brandeis until
Wednesday night with Wednesday
matinee.
