And Inspect Great Browning Gun
Double Opportunity Provided
by Women of Mayors
Defence Committee

New Workers will have the double
opportunity tomorrow of financially
aiding their country and examining for
the first time in this city a Brown
ing machine gun, termed by experts
the deadliest and most efficient piece of
small ordnance ever evolved
The gun that will take the death mes
sage to hundreds of Huns minute will
be housed, or tented, in front of-the
Public Library. A wall tent, supplied
by the Quartermaster's Department at
Governors Island and such as COM
monty used at Southern camps, will
shield it from those who refuse to buy.
1t is the plan of Mrs w. Bourke-
Cochran, of the Mayors Committee of
Women on National Defence, and Mrs
George j. Gould to admit to the tent
only those purchasing a certain num-
ber, not as yet fixed, of thrift stamps.
The gun has been loaned to the local
War Savings Committee by Brigadier
General Wheeler, of the Ordnance De-
partment.

Drama
Copeau Explains His Stand
on the Production of
War Plays
By Haywood Broun

Jacques Copeau, who is an artist and
has been a soldier of France in the
great war, spoke wise words on Wednes-
day at the Theatre Du Vieux Colombier
on the subject of drama and the war
Some of our Aag-waving producers
should heed what he says. After de-
Tending himself for not producing "the
light plays of the boulevard" Copeau
said:
ION the other hand, I have also been
reproached for not having given place
in my repertory to plays inspired by
present events, to heroic drama, to pa
triotic and military plays. 1t is true
that the manufacturers of the so-called
successful plays are abundantly ex-
plotting, and will exploit more and
more for some years, this easy vein.
For my part, hold that the true artist
should refrain from touching this
sacred thing. The more alive the pa
triotic feeling in, we'll balanced soul,
all the more does an instructive reserve
forbid us to make use of it. Those who
are making war, those who are really
feeling it, give US the best example Of
this discretion. All belligerent litera-
ture is abhorrent to them. few rare
poems, the letters or our soldiers, the
books of our officers, the stories of a
few reliable eyewItnesses-tha is what
the war will produce as long as it lasts.
But no literature, no bombastic TRADES,
no theatrical effects What while this
terrible nightmare still hovers over the
world, while every day in the four COR
ners of the universe the frightful
bloodshed continues, while the issue of
the struggle still weighs in the bal
ance, and every hour may bring US
cruel surprises, while the best among
us. our relations, our friends, face
death and pour out their blood. we, we,
whom the war spares at this moment
but the greater majority of whom have
had the honor OF being soldiers and
fighters, we should speculate on a coun-
terfeit of the tragedy which is being
played over there in order to augment
the receipts at the box office? We
should make the cannon thunder in the
wings, unfold on the stage the flag of
battles, clothe a comedian in the garb
ing spectacle. and l shall never consent
to it"
Even Lilliput in its gavest days never
boasted of so many little theatres as
New York. New groups of players
seem to be forming every day. In last
nights mail come announcements of
the Impromptu Players of the Society
for Ethical Culture and the Other
Players. late of the Other Playhouse,
but beginning at the Bramhail next
Monday. Their announcement promises
much. for we are told that theirs is
the ultra amodern movement in the
theatre and that the work is being
carried on by free verse dramatists,
futurist scenic artists and cubist
dancers" One of the plays, we learn,

Opera

Charles Wakefield Cadman's two-act
opera, "Shanewis," was sung for the
second time at the Metropolitan Opera
House last night, and a second hear
ing deepened the impression of the
first.
This little work is the first opera by
an American to have the germs of a
genuine popular success. Despite it's
preposterous libretto and the weakness
OF the final scene, its melodic fresh
ness and orchestral color mark it as
the work of man who has genuine
feeling for the necessities of the
theatre.
Mr. Cadman writes admirably for the
voice, and he treats his declaration
rather better than has been the case
with most native composers, though he
has still much to learn in this regard.
Stupid as are the words, the composer
could at no time have treated them
more naturally than he has done. Yet
despite its defects, the opera "goes."
1t probably will remain in the local
repertory.

spirit.
"Shanewis" was preceded by "Le Coo

Passover Finds
Jews Ready to
Fight to Finish

Jews Of the United States celebrated
the first day of the Passover festival
yesterday with new spirit of rejoicing
and determination. They exultea that
Jerusalem had been freed OF the rule
Of the Turk and was on the way toward
becoming the capital of the state of
which Zionists have dreamed. They
voiced anew in sermons preached in
synagogues their resolution to carry
through the present war by upholding
the hands of the President and giving
their best to every call of the nation
Rabbi X. N. Harris. at the Temple
Israel, expressed the resolution of his
race when he termed the conflict in
which America is now engaged "a
holy war;" and pledged the utmost sup
port of his people to its successful
conclusion.
"The cry OF those in bondage" said
he, like that of the ancient Hebrews,
has gone up TO Heaven. The worst of
their suFerings may never be disclosed,
but II ever a war deserved TO be
called holy it is this in which we are
aitruisticaIly engaged, breaking these
letters, fighting TO free the world from

Raises $4,000 for
Devastated France
Able Flynn, Chaplain of
Verdun, Arouses Big
Audience

Able Flynn, chaplain Of Verdun, was
the hero of great Franco-Ame erican
meeting yesterday at the Strand The
atre in the interests of the American
Committee for Devastated France.
Kisses and jeers greeted his story of a
captured German officer at Verdun
who declared that America would
never enter the war.
1--WE know America will never enter
the war;" the German said, according
to the able, because America is our
largest German colony"
'No! MOI" burst from hundreds of
lips, and Kisses sounded everywhere.
It was an audience already wrought to
the. highest tension by the singing of
the "Marseillaise" by Lucien Muratore
and the sight of motion pictures of the
devastated villages Of the Aisne.
Able Flynn's eloquence brought forth
tears and cheers.
''They Shall Not Pass
Don't be afraid" he cried, "this
drive, we have been expecting it. We
have been prepared. We are confident.
They shall not pass."
The man who went through two win
ters in the trenches at Verdun and is
in this country for the purpose of
telling the American people the things
they should know about France denied
that France is "bled white
France has not only more and bet
ter equipped men than at the begin
ming of the war;" he said. "but she has
more than 100000 more men than
she had then. We are not bled white,
but we need help. We are begging for
help, and need it quickly"
Able Flynn was introduced by James
NJ Beck.
Miss Anne Morgan, chairman of the
new Committee on Devastated France,
showed pictures of the ruined chateau
at Blerancourt, which was the head
quarters of her committee last winter.
American Flag Shown
Crippled old women and under
n9urished children, with big-eyed
smiles for the movie man, and French
troops on their way to the trenches
passed by the arch over which the
American flag flew. Rabbits and calves
and chickens in their shelters under
ruined village walls won laughs from
the audience.
More than $4,000 was realized from
the meeting. The money, instead of
being used to continue the work of
reconstruction at Blerancourt, which
has been swept by the German ad-
vance, will be used as an emergency
fund for relief work after the present
battle.

Hands To War
Wage Adjustment Commission Blamed by Submarine
Boat Corporation for Retarding the Building of
Undersea Vessels
By Theodore M. knappen

W Asalsn .sassnsas HS' fled HsiS' with I't the e
w wage adjustment commission
Of the Shipping Board the. Submarine
.oat Corporation practically puts the
-ssnonsibility for the decision between
Glow and fast shipbuilding up to the
former. It declares that if it shall
be compelled to submit to the uniform
scale and classification of labor that
the commission is preparing to insti-
,ute in the New York and New Jersey
shipbuilding districts its rate of pro-
duction will be reduced from one
third to one-half The implication is
that the labor conditions being pre-
scribed by the Shipping Board tend
To restrict instead of advance pro-
duction.
This statement. which is signed by
President James H. Carse, is the latest
contribution to rather bitter con-
troversy that has been in progress be-
tween organized labor and the Sub
marine Boat Corporation for many
months. The corporation has sought
from the beginning of it's work at
Newark Bay to avoid labor troubles
By eschewing all relations with labor
corporations. 1t has ignored all union
rules, classifcations and wage sched-
ales and has actually succeeded in
driving ahead rapidly with its work
even though the wages paid on the
immense United States army base ad-
joining have been strictly according to
rn;nn rac11irer,ants
