TEUTONS FIRE IN
AMERICAN COLORS
Are Attacked and Defeated by
P0leS-0Ver 100 Casualties

London. Dec. S0.-Fifing' by Ger
man officers on an allied automo bile
carrying an American flag was the
cause of street fighting in Posen last
Friday saws a dispatch to the Elk
change Telegraph from Copcnhagen.
The dispatch says:
"There was severe fighting between
the Poles and Germans in PoSen Fri
day, which resulted in SO women and
children and about 100 Germans and
Polanders being killed. The affray
originated as Il result of German Off
GERS firing on an allied automobile
which Was proceeding to Warsaw
carry ing the American flag.
The Germans insulted the flag and
the Polish guard was called out. The
fighting lasted several hours and the
Germans We're defeated.
"A delegation from the British mis-
sion to Posen protested to the Ger
man commander in the town, Gen
Schip elfeug, but the German officer
declared that he had no control over
the sOldiers.'

Demonstrations and Friy oious.
(New York Heraid}

PIaygoers Of a generation now gray
or bald are prone to lament the de-
generation Of modern taste as evil
denced in the great number OF Tnu-
steal, farcical and frivolous entertain
ments that occupy the stages Of oTr
theaters. Their views are shared by
q certain element in the population
that wishes to have IFS intelligence
rather than it's emotions and risibili-
lies appealed TO-
There is no need FOR despair, how
ever, for if we bark back to the f1ashy
age Of imitation and extrava,gance that
followed tho Civil War, we find con-
ditions similar to those of the present
day. In times like these when every
paper issuing from the press carries
sensational news that keeps the pub
lie mind keyed up to a high pitch OF
exciten1 ent. relief from fear and anx-
iety is sought in musical comedy and
farce that amusos even when it is fool
ish. Entertainment Of like nature was
popular during New YorIS's fashy age.
The desire for serious drama went into
eclipse. Edwin Booth lost his entire
fortune in the splendid thcater that
he built and equipped for the sole pur-
pose Of presenting Shakespearian and
other classic dramas. The panic OF
1873 put a sudden end to extravaganza
and mutations and gave a new vogue
to the serious. Booths thcater real
lied the purpose for which it was de-
signed in representations of Julius
Caesar that filed It to its utterm 0st
capa city
Sober days and nights lie before us.
We shall see better plays and more
serious ones than we have at any time
since the summer Of 1914 "A new
gen GRAFTON of native drama lists is al
ready on the way and from their work
will now actors be created.

MAY THEN REST IN PEACE.

Missouri, as represented by Senator
Reed. and France, as represented by
Foreign Minister Pichon, are at Odds
concerning the establishment of a
league Of nattons.
In The French Chamber of Depu-
ties yesterday Minister pichon out
lined the peace terms Of the French
Republic and said that the govern
n,ent was firmly IN favor Of d league
of nations.
Speaking before the Society OF
Arts and Sciences in New York yes
terday, Senator Reed violently as
sailed any proposal to include the
United States in q league of nations,
on the ground that by entering such
q combination We would be surren-
dering our liberties and violating the
warning of the "fathers of the repub-
Ito against entanglns alliances
What a Missouri politician was doing
within the cultured confines of tho
Society Of Arts and Sciences is beyond
discussion of international events. AT
the same time, the public is curious
to know whether he smoked his corn
cob pipe and had his houn' dawg
with him.
Senator Reed cannot claim origi-
nality in exhuming the fathers OF the
country from the grave. They have
been paraded before the country and
no dispute in Con gress is complete
without their presence. If they per-
formed anything of service to the
then EN- bryo nation they are entitled
to rest In peace, and Senator Reed
and the rest Of the trumpet blowing
GabrieIs who pose as the bulwark be-
tween Am erican liberties and the in
vidious forces that would strip lis Of
our rights should at least consider
their tumuitous career since 1t was
discovered by some Presidential crit
ic that we were on the verge of be-
and allow them to remain on their
touches of sod.
II Senator Reed insists on pressing
his view upon the country he could
at least aspire to new thoughts We
seem to have superb bundance Of
parrots in our political zoo.
