from the superficial and usually quite
suficient question was It," or will
1t be" a good show?
The theater at the outset of interna-
tional complications announced the
policy Of no war plays. The reminders
of military necessities so studiously ex-
cluded from the stage asserted them
selves in the box office itself with more
emphasis than pantomime or elocution
could supply. 1t Is not question OF
what king of show, but Of any show
at all.
The theatrical schedules for the pres
ent week are pretty thoroughly dlsar-
ranged, but not demoralized. The liber-
ality with which Sunday laws have
been interpreted gives the theaters the
benefit of full six-day working week
even under present restrictions. The
modification of the fuel order which
permits Monday performances and
Tuesday closlngs Tor theaters WORKS A q

and artillery announced; with huge
crops in prospect, and finally with the
nation solidly behind the government
in it's plans for the prosecution of the
war to q victorious finish, the people
of the United States very properly
made the celebration Of the Fourth OF
July the greatest celebration in the
history of the country. No task SO
great and glorious ever before con-
lfronted them, no more lofty idealism
ever inspired them to perform the
task, never was their confidence In
their power so absolute.
With reason, too, was the national
holiday celebrated by the allies OF
America, and especially gratifying was
the fact that the day was made a ma
,tional holiday by many of the Latin
American republics for that indicates
that the unreasonable jealousy and
fear Of the United States some of them
have entertained is passing away.
-
Though last Thursday was not so
noisy as the old-time Fourths, there
was one most glorious noise that, fg-
uratively speaking, must have been
distinctly heard in Berlin and Vienna.
That was the grand splash" when
about one hundred vessels were
launched at the various ~shipyards OF
the country. Between sunrise n
sunset approximately half q million
tons of dead weight shipping was add
ed to the fleets that are defeating the
submarine pirates, carrying u armies
to France and transporting the food
and munitions for them and u al
lies. This greatest ship launching in
all history was the most significant
feature of the days celebrations.
In the fiscal year just ended 1.622
new ships were numbered by the bu-
reau of navigation, their gross ton
mage being 1,430, 793. This was a rec
ord output and one-half Of 1t was COM
pleted in the last four months. In the
new fiscal year this record will be
eclipsed, for many new s~hipyards are
lust getting started. The loyalty and
devotion of the shipyard workers were
Justly recognized by the government
loficials from the president down., ana
by the people, and the praise for their
efforts is shared by the railroad work
ers, without whose devoted co-opera-
ton the achievements of the vessel
builders would not have been possible.
Beautifully dovetailing In with all
this was the announcement by Sena-
tor Swanson, chairman of the naval
affairs committee. that with the coop
Grafton of the American destroyers the
allied naval forces have destroyed SO
per cent Of the submarines sent out by
Germany. and that they are now de-
stroying the U-boats faster than they
can be replaced.
