WILSON RESENTS

the proposal.
There was radical disagreement with
the president S views, both in the con
ference of democratic leaders and in
the committee meeting.
The presidents letter follows:
"My dear senator:
~ am sincerely obliged to you for
calling my attention TO senate resOlu-
ton PAL, which in effect proposes to
constitute the military affairs com
mittee of the senate a committee on
the conduct of the war.
81 deem it my duty to say that L
should regard the purpose of this reso-
luton as a direct vote of want of CON
fidence in the administration. The pur'
pose which it undoubtedly expresses
Ia been expressed again and again in
various forms during the present ses-
sion and has always seemed to origi-
nate in a rooted dlstrust of those who
are at present in charge of the exec
utive functions of the government.
Those executive functions are very
understood. They have been
defined both by the constitution and
by long experience and no one can
doubt where the responsibility for
them lies or what the methods are by
which those who are responsible can
be held to their duty. Such activities
on the part of the particular commit
tee of the senate as this resolution
would look forward to would consti-
tute nothing less than IN attempt to
take over tina conduct Of the war or
at the least so srlperintend and direct
and participate in the executive con-
duet of it as to interfere in the most
SERIOUS way with the action of the con-
stituted executive, | protest most earn
against the adoption of any such
action and shall hope that every sena-
tor who intends to support the present
administration in the conduct of the
will vote against it. These are ser
lOus times and II is absolutely neces-
Sary that the lines should be clearly
drawn between friends and opponents

When Fritz Lciber was fourteen
years old fortune teller told him that
he would play Hamlet before he was
thirty-fve.
Nj. Lciber isn't sure now whether the
seeress told him that because it was
gong to happen on whether it hap
pcned because she told it to him, but
1T is our own private opinion that she
knew 1T as soon as she looked at him
that Is, of course, if he looked at four
teen as he does at thirty-four.
The first thing you think when you
look at Mr.. Leibcr is that he looks ex-
actly like Hamlet and if the Melan-
choly Dane happens to glimpse this
through some leyholc of eternity he
Wall doubtless be much delighted.
We'll, at any rate, the years rolled on,
as years will, and the thirty-fo fourth
birthday came along and passed and
the months won't by and nothing hap.

Who's Who in
the Current PLAYS

Some years ago we found out in song
where Mr.. Dooley went to aud VIC
thought we knew where he came from.
Mr.. Dooley was Irish, so we thought,
but it seems that the world was all
wrong.
The Dooleys are Scotch.
Take it from Johnny Doooley, and
he ought to know. Johnny, of comedy
nomenclature, is Scotch. and the whole
family is Scotch, except those that
were born since the Dooleys arrived in
the new world. Johnny is the clown

and Ray, all famous in the amuse-

They are brothers and sisters, but
the Scotch element in the Dooleys
begins with Pa Dooley He is one Of

mains unseen, but makes itself felt.

tell came to Mr.. Leibcr and said, How
would you like to play Hamlet?"
1t was just as though you had said to
movie editor, Glow would you like to
be dramatic critc?" or to Moses, "How
! would you like to own your own home
in the Promised Land?" And so, with
out more ado, Mr.. Leiber got ready to
play Hamlet, and just before he was
thirty five he played it. That was last
Wednesday.
If we had not interviewed Mr. Lciber
until after we saw him play Hamlet we
should not have had any misgivings
for we should have known that he was
young, handsome and human.
But, unfortunately, the play which
we chose to see him in was Macbeth, d"
and he was Macduff, a man with a lot
Of whiskers and things to disguise him
so that he might have been--well, any
body.

"And what do you do in the sum-

his hands to kill.
