GREAT LIBRETT|ST
PROUDLY CLAIMS
j. S. ANCESTORS

We have been accustomed to think
of "Madama Butterfly" partly an
American opera, despite the fact that
its librettists and composers are ItaI-
fans. Not only does the story concern
American characters, but the original
play upon which the opera is based
was written by Americans, John Luz
Their Long and David Belasco. Now a
message from Europe informs us that
the authorship OF the opera is even
more American than We had supposed.
The message is to Giulio Gatti-Ca-
sazza from Luigi nlica, who is not
only the nbrettist of Madame Butter
ny" (along with Giuseppe Giocosa),
but of "Boheme." "Tosca." "Manon
Lescaut." Iris" andrea Chenier,"
"Germania." 'Isabeau," "Cristoforo
Colombo" LIE VIII" and other operas.

Drama

Walter Hampden appeared in a spe-
cial matinee of Hamlet" at the Plym-
outh Theatre yesterday and strength
ened the excellent impression which
he made in the role a couple of sea-
sons ago. The performances are again
under the auspices of the Shakespeare
Playhouse, directed by Frank Nc
Entee. Hampden is fine figure of a
Hamlet and reads with intelligence and
spirit. His is the best performance of
the role which New York has seen
since Forbes Robertson.
Mr.. Hampden Is not unmindful of
the fact that Hamlet, among his other
accomplishments, was a humorist. Ii
not fellow of infinite jest, he was at
least pretty wit. Among the most
successful portions of Yesterdays per-
formance were the verbal duels be-
tween Hamlet and Polonius. The give
and-take was at least as rapid as the
rapier play later on and much more
successful for Hamlet Albert Brun-
ing was an excellent Polonius, even if
his accent did suggest Schleswg- H OIL
stein. Charles Stevenson as the King
and Mary Moore as Ophelia also con-
trlbuted largely to a thoroughly enjoy
able and finished performance. H. B.

Women TO Unite to
Get Improved Laws

There is to be concentrated effort
on the part of women's organizations
Of the country to take united action to
secure laws for working women, ac-
cording to an announcement made by
Miss Nellie Swartz, secretary Of the
Women's Trades Union League.
The initial steps in the national
movement were taken at an interstate
conference, which had the backing of
the State Federation of Women's
Clubs, the Young Women's Christian
Association, and the State, City and
National Consumers League, among
others.
The state convention of the wom-
ems suffrage party will take action
on the national programme for laws
for working women at its session at
Albany, December 2.
The laws which the organizations
will campaign for are the eight-hour
law, the minimum wage bill, health in
surance, inclusion of new occupations
for women under the present labor
law, inclusion OF Office workers under
the labor law, and ratification of the
Federal suffrage amendment.
When the various women's organiza-
tions are ready to take action. a
trades union conference will be called
and the support of all labor organiza-
tions in general will be solicited.

Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, Nov 22.-Thousands
of girl war workers were thrown into
o panic to-day by questionnaires sent
out by the government departments re-
gardng their period of work.
Now that it is time to go home, the
sentiment among many of the girls
is that, in spite of bad housing condi
tions, they would like to remain in
Washington. Perhaps the fact that the
new residence halls built for the ac-
commodation of war workers will soon
be finished has given the girls an idea
that they would like the city, if thew
had comfortable places in which to
live.
The questionnaires sent out to-dav
contained three questions, the first two
being practically the same, asking If
the worker wished to resign at once.
and the third asking if she wanted to
stay on as long as there was anv so,t
of work for her to do.
These were sent first to girls in the
Ordnance Department. where there are
more than 5000 employed.
There are more than $4,000 woman
war workers in Washington. Before
kinds of work. Some were school
teachers, some business and office girls.
and others entered the business world
earlier than they would have otherwise
because of the demand for girls in the
departments.
1t is understood the issuance Of the
questionnaires to-day is the beginning
of the end; that there really is not
much more work for the girls to do.
The heads of departments want to give
each worker a chance to resign. and
consequently are breaking the news Of
lack OF work to them in time to pro-
vide for that
Most OF the girls who wanted to quit
left the day after the signing Of the
armistice was announced. A few Others
stayed on with the idea of going home
for the Christmas holidays, and not
returning.
Practically all of the others like
their work and want to get permanent
jobs in Washington.
The matter OF giving each girl two
weeks pay and return fare to her home
has not been decided officially Peti
tions asking for this concession have
been sent from several departments.
1t is understood that the matter is
under consideration by the President.
Bernard Baruch, chairman of the
War Industries Board, sent circulars to
employees under his supervision that if
they would resign at once they would
receive two weeks pay, the amount of
their fare home and letters of recon-
mendation.
The number of school teachers who
nave been employed may help relieve
the teacher shortage.
Those who are in Washington have
access to the Bureau of Education and
the newly established service for put
ting school boards and teachers in
touch with eacl~ other all over the
country.

Nurses Continue
Fight for Army Rank
Special to The Tribune

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Although
the war is practically over, the effort
to obtain military rank for nurses has
not slackened The fact that the nurse
will be the last person to return from
France. that her work will continue as
long as there is a single sick or dis
ableu soldier, makes her as important
now as she was during the months of
fighting.
The bill providing rank for nurses
is now before the Senate Military Af-
fairs Committee. Senator Lewis, of
Illinoi S. announced to-day that he
would continue to press for action on
the bill.
"The work of the army nurse and
the military hospital does not cease
with the surrender of Germany" said
Senator Lewis. "They will be needed
to care for our soldiers probably for
months and perhaps for years.
"Without rank the work of caring
for the soldiers is made needlessly
difficult and uncertain. The nurses are
powerless to see that their instructions
for the care of the patients are car
ried out bv the hospital orderies
Rank would mean instant obedience
and as rank is given to so many other
branches of less use and benefit, this
rank is only equity to those who really
do war work"
