FINAL WEEK AT
 LYRIC THEATRE

A new dramatfZed version of Har- lriet Beecher Stowe's great book, s'TTncle Toms Cabin" the story that set the country thinking of the great evil prevailing in the South in the dovs of '61, and which has gone doWn in history as the cause for the great change in sentiment, was elaborately ana well presented by the Poh Play- CTS last night before a large audience
 Many in the audience had witness ed the production many years ago. 4nd their feeling had not changeo. They laughhed at the many amusing lines in the production. The stage settings, too, appealed and the play left A. very fine impression on all. Ine children especially loved Uncle Tom,s Cabin" and this new version IS one which appeals to all, the young as well as> tafe old. .,
 Arthur Buchanan as Uncle rom did creditable work. He fitted mm- self into the part of the good, gener- ous old negro, who was loved ny all who knew his true character. Llttie !Sunshine." who has appeared many +irnes before Bridgeport audiences ln ,+be Red Cross campaign, was splen- did as Little Eva" Although very young, this little one is quite hnlsh- cd actress and she sings very well.
 If seems as though there would bave never been such a play as .sTrncle Tom's Cabin" if it weren't foT 1nischievous 'Topsy," who never hao father or mother, and who just growed up," and Therse Labor inter- ,nreted this part well. Miss Labor IS new to Bridgeport, but it was agreed by all that haE part could not nave ibeen improved. Harold Kennedy Lent inc audience in cintinual laugh ter as Marks, a lawyer.
 The old favorftes, who are dearly loved by all in Bridgeport, Dudley Avres and warda Howard, had very light parts this week. Miss Howard took the role of Eliza Harris and MT Tyres was her husband All did splen- did work. It is regretted that this will be the last week of this stock co+npany until next September. The Pou Players have done splendid work and their efforts to please have cer- tainly been appreciated. It is hoped that all the members of this company will return next year.

PRESIDENT EXPRESSES
 SINCERE FRIENDSHIP
 FOR MEXICAN PEOPLE
Never Received Group of Men Who Were More Welcome Than Visitors at Capitol Last Friday-TeIs Editors
 Present War Is for Idealistic Objects

Havana, June 11.---By The Asso-
 ciated Press. )---President Wilson in his address to the Mexican newspaper
 editors in Washington last Friday ex-
 pressed sincere friendship for Mex
 ico. His address, which is printed in the morning newspapers here today, follows in part:
 'I have never received a group of
 men who were more welcome than you because it has been one of my
 distresses during my presidency that the Mexican people did not more thoroughly understand the attitude of
 the United States toward Mexico. I think I can assure you that that attitude is one of sincere friendship.
 ''The policy of my administration toward Mexico was in every point
 based on the principle that the inter nal settlement of the affairs of Mexico was none of our business; that we had no right to interfere with or die tate to Mexico in any particular with regard to her own affairs. When we sent troops into Mexico our sincere desire was nothing else than to assist you to get rid of a man who was making the settlement of your affairs for the time being impossible. We had no desire to use our troops for
 any other purpose and I was in hope that by assisting in that way and l lthereupon immediately withdrawing
 might give substantial truth of assur-
 ance that I had given your govern ment through President Carranza. At the present time it distresses
 me to learn that certain influences, which I assume to be German in their origin, are trying to make a wrong impression throughout Mexico as to the purpose of the United States, but to give an absolutely untrue account of things that happened:
 We are the champions of those na- tions which have not had the military
 standing which would enable them to compete with the strongest nations in the world, and I look forward with pride to the time which I hope will ocme when we can give substantial evidence not only that we do not want anything out of this war, but that we would not accept anything
 out of it; that it is absolutely a case of disinterested action. And if you
 will watch the attitude pf our people
 you will see that nothing stirs them
 so deeply as the assurances that this
 war so far as we are concerned is for
 idealistic objects.
 | "Some time ago I proposed a sort
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-06-11

of pan-American agreement had perceived that one of the difficulties of our past relationships with Latin American was this. The famous Monroe doctrine was adopted without your consent and without the con- sent of any of the Central American or South American states. We said, We are going to be your big brother whether you want us to be or not
 We did not ask whether it was agreeable to you that we should be your big brother. We said we are going to be- Now that is all very we'll as far as protecting you from aggression from the other side of the water was concerned, but there was nothing in it that protected yoU from aggression from us and I have repeatedly seen an uneasy feeling or the part of your representative Of the states of Central and South Amer ica, that our self appointed protection night be for our own benefit and our own interests and not for the in- terests of our neighbors. So I have said:
 Let us have common guarantee that all of us will sign a declaration of political independence and terri tCrial integrity. Let us agree that if any of us, the United States includ- ed, violates the political independence or territorial integrity of any of the others, all the others will jump on her. xxx
 "Now that is the kind of agree ment that will have to be the foun- dation of the future life of the na- tions of the world, gentlemen. The " hole family of nations will have to guarantee to each nation that no na- tion shall violate it's political inde- pendence or it's territorial integrity That is the basis-the only conceiVlL kle basis-for the future peace of the world, and I must admit that I was anxious to have the states of the two continents of America show the way to the rest of the world as to how to rrake a basis for peace.
 Peace can only come by trust. If you can once get a situation of trust, then you have got situation of per manent peace. Therefore, every one of us owes it as a patriotic duty to lis own country to plant the seeds of trust and of confidence instead of the seeds of suspicion and a variety of interest"

EXPERIMENT SUCCESS.

There is very little dissatisfaction evidenced by the men who have been taken from the jail where they are serving out their sentences to work on the highways. Only three have tried to escape. Two were recaptured and third is still at large but it is ex- pected that he will soon be taken into custody. Sheriff Pease regards the experiment as very much of a success.
