1900 Out of 1000 Masks
Defective, Germans to
Blame, Is the Charge
BY Assocfated Press

Washington, April 2.-Charges that
German spies are interfering with gas
masks intended for use in France
were made in the Senate to-day by
Senator Thomas, of Colorado, who de-
clared that in one factory 1900 out
of 5000 masks were found defective.
Even after the defective ones had been
discarded II number later were found
packed with those that had passed in
spection, he said.
Senator Thomas declared the mask s
had been damaged by small perfor-
ations and asserted the work was
done by persons in the factory. He
said this is only a sample of the work
that is being done by German agents
in this country.
Referring to reports of strikes in
various parts of the coHntry Senator
Thomas said he believed them to be a
part of German propaganda.
The man who incites strikes at this
time is an enemy of the United States
and should be treated as SUCH" he
continued. That is equally true of

AUDIENCE ENJOYS
CHARACTER PLAY
Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage
Patch" Is a Pleasing
Comedy

With plenty of laughter because
of the many ludicrous situations, and
little touches of pathos here and
there throughout the play, Mrs.
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" sue
cess for several seasons, is offered
at the Orpheum theater during the
first three days of the week.
There is no doubt that this is one
of the greatest character comedies
to be produced on the stage in Ie-
cent years. A heart interest in the
Wigs families exists almost from
the start, and one is certain to enjoy
the optimistic spirit of Mrs. Wigs,
who in Alice Hogan Rice's original
stories seldom gave way to any sor-
row. To tell the story of the Cab
page Patch" and its residents would
not do justice to this comedy, which
although not so well played, is one
OF the best. One must see and hear
the parts in real life to get the full
peneht of the good cheer in the play
Mrs. Wiggs is the optimist of tn
Patch" She has a family of three
girls and a boy. Then there is a
cross patch who has a disposition as
sour as pickle barrel; a fussy
dutch" lady; Miss Hazy, the pessi-
mist whose marriage to Mr.. Stub

patch. Miss Lucy, THE Christmas
Lady also comes in for her part in
the story, but Mrs. Wiggs gives the
adVlce needed to prevent a shattered
romance for her. Mrs. Wiggs' life
story is another interesting part of
the play.
In the cast were Miss Olive West.
