bearing the inscription: Here on the
morning of Nov. Z, 1885, ground was

Crowded houses are still greeting

which has come in for more coInmeh-
dalton from the patrons of the Lyric
theatre than anything ever before at
tempted. Even the most skepucal,
who came for the purpose of advanc-

that the author left little to be deslr-
ed in the way of good material and
the manner in which it is interpreted
by the players entities the drama
"Outcast" to a prominent place in the
archives of good theatrical produc-
tons.
The lines are bright and snappy, the
situations startling, bordering on the
daring, and the realism injected BY
the scenic effects for combination
that is hard to excel There is not an
idle moment throughout and although
there is a vein of comedy it does not
interfere with the good points OF the
play in any respect. Briefly "Outcast

RUSSIAN PRIESTS
GO ON STRIKE

London, Nov. IA strike of
priests, in Moscow was one of the in
cidents of Bolshevig rule. Bishop
Andronic, of the Perm diocese, a man
of considerable influence among the
Russian clergy, had been arrested for
his outspoken opposition to the Boil
shevik regime and all the ecclesiastics
in that district went on strike in pro-
test against his Imprisonment.
They refused to perform the ser
vices their office required, and the
devout muzhiks and y townspeople
were greatly mortified. A number of
striking clergymen were arrested,
charged with counter-revolutionary
activity.
After a thorough examination by
the local commission for the Sup
preston of Counter-revolution, Sabot-
age and Speculation, they were re-
leased upon signing a pledge that they
would never take part in agitation
against the Soviet government nor in
connection with the arrest of the
Bishop.
What became of the Bishop and
how the strike ended, has not been
| learned.

SUBMARINE RAID IS
USED AS TERRORzER

London, June 6.-In a statement
today Archibald Hurd. the we'll
known writer on naval affairs. took
the view that the German submarine
operations on the American coast
were intended to try to draw Amer
lean naval vessels from European
waters.
The raid was not undertaken, .
said Mr.. Hurd. with the idea OF OBJ
tanning direct military results. but
mainly as a demonstration. After
nearly four years Of warfare. the
German mind can be read with a
fair degree OF accuracy. II was as
sumed that the people Of the Unit
ed States would be intimidated. that
they would demand possible mea-
sures OF protection. and that in or
der to satisfy public opinion the
navy department would reconsider
its plans for cooperation in hunting
down submarines In European -
ters. even II some Of the American
destroyers on duty on this side were
not Immediately recalled.
"The U-boats are having a very
hard time Since the beginning OF
March the enemy has more vessels
at sea than ever before. The number
destroyed has been larger actually
and relatively. and the loss in ton
mage since the beginning Of the year
has been steadily reduced. American
vessels have contributed materially
in producing this result. as the Ger
mans know
1T is intended by the Germans to
disarrange the plans OF the Ameri-
can and British naval authorities for
fighting U-boats where they are OPP
Grating in large numbers and can be
dealt with, as experience has shown,
with the greatest success.
II do not imagine the American
public will fall into the snare the
Germans have laid. thus exposing
their transports and store ships to
destruction"

Discussing the economic situation
created by Americas entrance into
the war Won Capelle pointed out that
the United States was the most i'm
portant source of supplies for the
entente nations but, he added. "Ow-
ing to the tremendous armament
program of President Wilson, such
economic difficulties have developed
that America. the land of export.
must now begin to ration herself in
stead, as had been hoped. to aid the
entente nations in increasing mea-
sures. All In all, it can be said that
the economic difficulties OF our enc
niles have been increased by Amer
ica's entrance into the war.
In reply to charges that the Ger
man submarine building program
was not progressing as rapidly as II
should. Won Capelle admitted that
Germany's enemies had attained Ger
tain successes In this defensive
measures against the U-boats. But.
he added. they have at no time Of.
fected the u-boat warfare In any
way decisively and. nc 'ording to
foresight will not be able to do so In
the future.
"The American U-boat chasers
over which much fuss has been made
are failure.
"The convoy system which gives
the ships certain protection on the
other hand has great disadvantages
There is not day in which one OF
several ships are not shot out OF
conveys.
