CAN'T
EXPECT HOME
LIFE IN CAMP
Billy Sunday Says Illness
Must Be Expected Under
Conditions.
BY ARTHUR JOYCE.

Billy Sunday is interested in the
controversy that started in the SEN
ate with Senator ChsmberIsin's pro-
duction OF letters telling Of condi-
lions in some Of the American can
tonments.
The evangelist is behind the ad-
ministration from start to finish.
He says he won't be drawn into an
argument on the question as to
the best way Of running the war"
Billy made a vow at the start OF
the conflict that he'd never knock"
or criticise and he intends to keep
his promise until peace shall
come" He encourages others at
his meetings to 'cut out the
knocking" and pleads with his
hearers to do their bit"
Nevertheless. Billy has his own
ideas about the war situation, and
especially about cantonment condi-
tions. He made them plain yes
terday in a chat at the tabernacle.
Camp Life Different.
1--WE been thinking lot of this
question after reading the news
papers," said Billy. Il can't help
but figure the great chasm that
exists between the living conditions
now of the man in uniform and
the same man before he put on the
khaki OF Uncle Sans soldier. When
those boys were home they had
comfortable beds, plenty Of good
things to eat, warm living and re-
ception rooms in their homes and
the home-cooking they used to get is
entirely different from that at the
cantonments.
''Of course. nobody can expect
home conditions to exist at camp.
The boys naturally get homesick;
the men who do the cooking are
not all expert homemade chefs.
The government has to take what
men it can get in the ranks for this
service and you can't expect that
things will be served up just like
mother used to make them. That's
war.
You will find also that the SOL
diers are probably not as well taken
care of in the matter of nice. warm
beds as they were at home. They
must live in wooden barracks. II
I were to leave my warm room and
come down to the Tabernacle TO

warm here, and all that sort of
thing-nevertheless I'd be suscep-

About Barrie, the Man

or the many men who are writing
for the English-speaking stage. there
Is no one who is held in higher es-
teem than James Matthew Barrie. 1t
Is said of the author that he is so
loved in England that nothing bear
ing his name could fail in a pecuniary
way in that country.
II mas not been an uncommon sight
In the big cities TO see a crowd of
young PEOPLE standing around the
stage entrance of theater waiting to
catch glimpse of some popular fav-
orite. In England things are different
During the time Dear Brutus'' was
being rehearsed at wyndham's The
ater In London, there was always a
knot OF people around the stage door
waiting to catch glimpse of Barrie.
1t was the shy. modest little author
the people wanted to see more than
the actors, and the thing embarrassed
him.
1t is an odd fact that the idol OF the
British playgoing public was prac-
tically discovered by an American, the
late Charles Frohman. Barrie had
written a story called THE Little
Minister" which was finding many
readers in this country. Frohman had
youthful actress that he was anxious
TO star. could he but secure a suitable
play for her. In THE Little Minister"
he was sure there was the play. but
when he got in touch with Barrie, the
latter declared there was no play in
his book and he was averse TO at
tempting dramatiZation of it, Froh-
man persevered and the success of
THE Little Minister and Of Maude
Adams in it is matter of history.
Barrie's next play was Quality

PAN" "Alice-Sits-by the Fire" which
was played by Ethel Barrymore: THE
Admirable Crichton." in which VIII
liam Gillette was the star: What
Every Woman Knows" THE Legend
Of Deonora" and "A Kiss for Gin
derella.''
Barrie is not only shy. but taciturn.
He and FTohman. the greatest of
friends. would spend an evening to-
eether smoking and while there never
passed a dozen words as a rule, they
would part feeling they had a most
enjoyable time. Barrie was not al
ways thrifty in speech. however. There
would comes times when he would talk
at great length. He would begin by
describing some play tnat ne ndu III
mind, going into elaborate details. and
Frohman would be delighted. But 1t
was a good bet that that was the last
the manager would ever hear of the
play.
One of Barrie's traits is that he will
never be hurried. He is a very slow
workman and scorns the use Of that
mechanical device" the typewriter.
His plays used to reach Frohman writ
