an elaborate fete run perfectly.
The story running through the en-
tertainment is of perplexed gardner
who does not know what flowers to
take to nearby mansion. The daugh-
ter endeavors to help by calling all
the flowers together, but of no avail.
The brownies finally solve the problem
by taking all the flowers to the man
sion. Forrest Segers as the garden
er and Virginia Kells, as the daugh-
ter took their parts like professionals
and were apparently as much at home
on the stage as aft. The choruses
were charming, the voices being of
the sweetest quality. The raindrops
and the brownies entered into the
work as though it were recreation and
scored the hits of the evening.
The proceeds, something over $115
will go to the Junior Red Cross.

uncertain.
There is very little controversy

the effectiveness of the provision for

AMERICAN PRISONERS
WASHINGTON INSTITUTES IN
CURRY In REGARD TO CIR
MAN CRUELTIES.

Washington, d. c., April "a
Though without any official informa-
ton to confirm press reports of i'll
treatment of American prisoners of
war in Germany, the state depart
ment has instituted an inquiry to de-
velop the facts. If they conform to
the published accounts a protest will
be made promptly through the Span
fish government, which has taken
over American diplomatic relations
at Berlin. II the protest is ~unavail-
ing measures of retaliation will be
considered.
German prisoners of war in Amer
lea largely outnumber Americans
held in prison camps and include the
crews of German raiders and prizes,
In addition to the crew of the Ger
man submarine U-58. These pris-
oners have been treated with a de-
gree of liberality that has caused
adverse criticism in some quarters
and in marked contrast to the treat
ment said to be accorded prisoners in
Germany.
One difficulty in the way of retail
iation il Is said. is that Ii might lend
color to the stories of American
cruelties told by the German military
commanders to their troops to deter
them from DESERVING. That such
stories have been told has been tes-
titled to by prisoners taken by Gen.
Pershing's g
1t was said at the state depart
ment today that much difficulty is
expected in ascertaining the facts
concerning the condition of Ameri-
can prisoners in Germany. Former
ed with British and French interests
at Berlin before the United States en-
tered the war, found 1t almost i'm
possible to learn real conditions in
German prison camps because he
was permitted to see only such of the
camps and such parts of them as the
Germans chose to exhibit. 1t Is re-
garded as probable that the Spanish
ambassador to Berlin would have o
similar experience.
The state departments inquiry
will extend to the charges that Amer
team prisoners have not been allowed
to receive the packages OF food and
clothing sent them by the American
Red Cross and which, under the
rules of war, they are entitled to
receive.
