What Concerns the World.

The Daily. Graphic says: prince Max
imilian has Outlined a new constitu-
ton for Germany, but the world is
little concerned with the internal con-
stitution of Germany. What it is con-
cerned with is Germany's power for
external mischief"
'sThe peace treaties of Brest-Litovsk
and Bucharest illustrate the peace of
violence which Germany has been en-
deavoring to impose upon Europe"
says the Daily News. "She failed and
must pay the price Of her ruthless
ness. Peace of Justice involves justice
to countries which Germany has de-
spoiled and outraged, and demands
guarantees before she can be readmit-
ted into the community of nations.
Prince Maximilian's description Of the
change in the German government
does not suggest a clean-cut break
with kaiserism.
IF the allies grant an armistice, it
Will be upon such conditions as will
not only secure the military su-
premacy of the allies, but will apply
a very searching test of who is in
real control in Germany"

Not Allowed to. Finish
Speech.

When Gov. Sidney j. Cats OF Flor.
ida climbed on the Kalamazoo, Mich,
courthouse steps last Friday night to
deliver an address on "Unadulterated
Americanism" the crowd of more than
1000 persons jeered and hooted so
loudly when it was seen that the gov.
ernor did not wear a Liberty Loan
button that he could not speak.
When the police had succeeded in
restoring semblance of order, the
speaker started his address, in which
he opposed parochial schools and at
tempted to appeal to his hearers to
support the Hamilton amendment in
Michigan which provides that all chill
dren must attend the public schools.
The crowd, which was composed
mostly of Catholics, heckled him.
There was a near riot when an army
lieutenant forced his way through the
throng and stoutly resented the gov.
ernor's statement that Catholic sol.
diers were responsible for great deal
of the booze that is struggled into
training camps. The chief of police
then forbade Governor Cats to con.
tinue unless he complied with. the
demands of the crowd for purely
patriotic speech.

Dwight Meade and the Players in "The
Marriage Question"

(Which one shall I marry?"
This, probably, is the eternal ques
ton, applicable to both sexes, but
asked more frequently by the femin
inc side of the house. 1t is with this
idea as a background that "The Mar
riage Question" was written. The play
is new to Minneapolis theater patrons
It's author, R. T. Kettering, it is said
pondered deep and long before naming
the play, friends having suggested
''The Story of a Soul" or "The Web
of Fate" as fitting titles, but stripped
of all considerations, '"The Marriage
Question" seemed most appropriate
although either Of the other two would
have been equally applicable, so in
tense is the story told.
A synopsis of "The Marriage CUES
ton" is epitomized in a single speech
by one of the players:
"'A fool there was and he married
a girl-he expected much--he got moth
ing! All! But what did the girl ex,
pect?"
''The Marriage Question" has met
ropolitan production to it's credit, and
dramatic reviewers have acclaimed it
one of the sensations of the year; two
companies are still playing on tour.
1t is a comedy drama Of latter day

one he has earned by the great recep-
lions he has received in every city

number of new things to offer this sea-

fund of comedy, which makes him al
ways welcome on vaudeville bills.
Emily Darrell, assisted by Billy Jack

opportunity to display her varied tai
ents. Theirs is a laughing act that
has few equals. Cucia and Verdi will
present a classic act, that is always
welcome to Minneapolis audiences
when we'll done, and their work with
the violin and cello, is seldom sur

buildings will be similar in every re-
spect to those we are now operating
in the American camps, and they will
include many extra features which
foreign conditions necessitate. We
want experienced builders, traffic man

warehouse men and limited number

we can use more secretaries and men
who can prepare light refreshments

It is pointed out by the committee
on war activities that men who enter
this work must be willing to go to the
battlefront if necessary, and to share
in the hardships that fall to the lot
of the soldiers. They must be >physi-
