Stages Play With no Out
side Coaching.

The Per Gradus Literary society of
the Model high school is giving this
evening for its weekly program, n
patriotic play THE Stacker" One of
the most interesting features is the
fact that the students have coached
themselves in this play. Those who
saw the dress rehearsal last night say
that it is a splendid production and
artistically worked out. The cast Is as
follows: h.- -
Mrs. Moore, Magdelene johnson. d

Betty Caldwell Grants sweet
heart), Oura Chaffee.
1t. Bennie Smith, Alfred Thorwald-
o n

Genevieve Mccain.
Mrs. Jones. Emma Brown.
Mrs. Elton. Ruth Johnson.
Mrs. Ralph. Myrtle Mott.
The production is for the society
only. with. a. few invited guests.
The Per Gradus society is a living
refutation of the belief that the day
of literary societies is past. This soci-
ETY. has a membership of 81, the larg-
est on the campus. They have regular
weekly meetings where the members
really learn to debate and to become
proficient in public speaking. Every
veal there is a medal awarded to the
one who has achieved the greatest
improvement in public speaking dur
ing the year. Mr.. Volweiler is the
faculty adviser and is always present
at the meetings. 1t is due in part to
his efforts hat the society retains its
enthusiasm and interest.

Military Intelligence Expert

e a Traitor Every Time,
Said Judge McPhee.

Washington, April l9.-Passage OF
the, bill introduced by Senator Cham
,Eerlain OF Oregon, placing under
control of military authorities all
cases involving violations Of the es-
pionage act. is imperative for the
protection Of aliens in this country.
Norman III. White of Brookline.
Mass, Of the military intelligence
section Of the army. today told the
senate military committee.
II you don't come to this bill
now he said, you'll ON to it later
and the non-passage of this bill only
mean a few more items in the news
papers daily telling of the tar and
feathering of aliens and riding of
wonlen on rails and hanging perhaps
OF innocent aliens"
The department of justice, Mr..
White said, is overworked with the
ordinary criminal work. incidental to
the war, together with the watching
of sabotag &c and other cases that daily
develop.
Aliens are beginning to laugh at
the military authorities because of
their lack of authority, Mr.. White de-
clared.
Mr.. White charged that German
propagandists are paying members
of the Il. w. w. to engage in strikes
and other activities.
Colonel f. II. Nandeman, head OF
the military intelligence branch OF
the general staff, urged speedy pas
sage of the bill. He said he thought
the courts did not get the quick ac-
ton necessary and hat people were
becoming excited.
The bill also was endorsed by Cap
tain McCauley. assistant director OF
the naval intelligence service. who as
serted that mere existence of the law
OF the kind would cause many per-
sons to hesitate before engaging in
propaganda.
Judge, John S. MCGEE of Mtane-
apolis committee of public safety,
said he represented a body which eX-
ercised power to suspend state laws
and had lone so.
THE department of justice has
made a CHASTITY failure in meeting Sc
dition conditions he asserted. I'VE
maintain a secret service and know
the reasonis that the federal attorney
lacks a fighting spirit. We ave re-
ferred cases to them without result.
1.-The department of justice had no
more idea Of dangers threatening the
Minnesota Iron mines than a child
unborn"
Attempts were made by I. w. w.
leaders to tie up the Mines" he said,
but were stopped by the safety COM
mission.
after we arrested and secured
conviction of these people the I. w.
w. headquarters moved to Superior,
Wis., he said. "and the department
of Justice can do nothing, though We
stopped the iron mine strike"
Judges in time of war seem to be
thinking in terms Of peace" he said.
