WELL TRAINED DIVISION
That Is What Bochcs Had To Say OF
the seth.

great number of complimentary
reports have come to the attention OF
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. commander
of the 10th Division and Camp Fun
ston, congratuIating him on the train
ing Of the troops. Perhaps the most
important is letter received from an
officer Of the S9th Division. which was
trained here by General Wood. but
sent over without him when he was
relieved of command at the port of
en- bark alton.
The letter reads: 1.-The Boches did
not identify US until the 5th of Sep
TENDER. This we found out from cap
tured documents. When he did iden-
tify US, he Immediately ordered all
minor staff officers and commanding
officers to stand to- in the early morn
ing hours, saying in the order that we
were a first class division and that
trouble could be expected from us at
any time. 1 consider this compli-
ment to OUR general. They knew

THEATERS
Century English Opera Company.

Century English Opera Company.
The Century English Opera COM
pany. which appears at the Grand
Monday. is the result of a nationwide
demand that opera in America be sung
in English and a cry for an English
opera company on par with the best
European companies.
No one really doubted this could be
done, but it remained for the world
war to overcome the spobbery in this
country which insisted upon doing
homage to the foreigner and speaking
with a patronizing condescension of
American music and artists equally as
good.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1918-11-16

tragic features of the story are brought
out when the son, Karl, enters the
service of the kaiser and the unusual
situation wherein the father is OPP
posed by the son in his pro-German
sympathies involves many other mem
bers of the family.
A love story runs thru the drama
and finds it's climax in some thrilling
rescues as the young German-Ameri-
can is run down by the government
secret service operatives.
Along with the drama will be shown
the War Review pictures of the very
latest events.
AS a special feature of the Orpheurn
program. Madam RaYe McKenna, the
talented singer who has been singing
during the past week before Orpheum
audiences. will offer Miserere, from
the opera II Trovatore, the popular
duet sung by the tenor and soprano.
Madam McKenna will sing both parts,
showing the unusual range of voice.
She will appear in special costume.

Hazel Eden, formerly of Topeka,
prima donna of Century English
Company at Grand, Monday evening.

In an editorial speaking OF the argu-
ment against opera in English the De-
trOit Free Press, after showing at
length and citing instances why opera
should be sung in English in America,
says: 'It is up to the people of the
United States to decide whether they
longer intend to put up with the inn
pudent insistence of the a1ien-born
presented in foreign tongues"
The Saturday Night says: vocal
music is dependent upon the spoken
word. Can you imagine French
man saying L don't want to listen to
an opera in French or an Italian say
ing I can't enjoy opera in Italian No
wonder some of our foreign favorites,
when >cashing our checks for thou
sands of dollars have been heard to
allude to us as Those pigs of Ameri-
cans"
These are only several of scores of
like sentiments proclaiming the time
has come when America wants its
opera in English by Americans and
the Century English Opera company
is the answer to that demand.

Scene From sfParlor, Bedroom and
Bath at Grand, Tuesday evening.
A. H. Woods will present at the Grand
theater on Tuesday, November 10, for
an engagement of one night, direct
from the Republic theater, New York,
where it was one of the conspicuous
comedy hits of last season. "Parlor,
Bedroom and Bath is described as a
fresh, flippant. farcial frolic in three
acts by c. w. Bell and Mark Swan
and has the rare distinction of having
scored sensational hits in Chicago and
New York in the same season, on the
occasion of it's first presentation in
both cities.
"Parlor, Bedroom and Bath" is said
to contain one of the most ingenious
plots ever embodied in a comedy. AS
much of it as has been divulged con-
Germs the adventures of an innocuous
young husband who is compelled to
live up to his wife's conception of him
as a gay Lothario. Modest and inno-
cent as he is, she still believes him
irresistible to women, and glories in
his maginary past. To sustain the
de1usion he proceeds to pose as a dare
devil, and quite unwittingly becomes
involved in a desperate situation in a
private suite in a lonely wayside inn.
A carnival Of laughter follows in the
wake of his predicament, and wealth
of hilariously amusing lines and situa-
tons.

boat Aundersea: the temerity of the
destroyer and persistency of the traw-
Ter, and the bulldog determination OF
the men to help rid the world of the
new kind of pirates that the Germans
have sprung on us. Mr.. Paine will
also describe his experience in aero
planes, dirigibles and other aircraft:
he will tell of his experience aboard
a Sub chasing another sub" when
thrills and excitement were the order
of the day. This and much more will
be the first actual war talk OF the
sailor mans doings that we will hear,
and it should prove highly and patri-
otica1ly thrillingly interesting.

"El Centre, July 81, 191S.-Mr. ID.
H. Gandier, 603 Merchants Trust
Bldg, 207 South Broadway, Los An
geles, Cal.-Dear Sir: Your letter of
the 10Th inst. at hand.
Il have not, thus far in this cam
paign, made any Geclartion i'll print
favoring the ratification of the pro-
posed amendment to the Constitution
of the United States concerning pro-
hibition.
Privately, / have stated many
times that the assemblyman from I'm
perial county is in duty bound to
vote this coming winter for the rat
ification of this amendment.
''As you are aware, Imperial coun-
" has no saloons. and the sentiment
of the vast majority of its citizens is
unalterably opposed to the licensing
of the sale of liquor. If its assem-
blyman should vote against the rat
ification, his return home would be
worse than meeting with his mother
in-law after absence from home all
night.
There is no issue here on this ques-
ton, although | am Informed that
alone am the only one in public doubt
have not made a public declaration
for the reason that | have seen SO
much hypocrisy in public declarations
and the pledges and platforms oi
candidates who issue the same mere
ly for the purpose of obtaining votes
that | am inclined myself to judge
a man as a candidate from the past
performances of his conscience, rath'
er than from any pledge, platform on
declaration which he may make, while
seeking votes.
Il, therefore, have delayed sucf
public declartion, but will, of course
make one if necessary, not for th'
purpose of obtaining votes, but fo1
the information of those who may
doubt my attitude on this subject q
liquor.
"You may rest assured, however
that if | am the next assemblymal
from Imperial county, | will repre-
sent my constituents in every sens'
of the word which will include tha
which they desire-and that is, tha
