EXACT AND IMPARTIAL
NEWS SERVED DAILY
Happenings Here, There and
Everywhere Gathered "By
the Associated Press"

Readers Of The Star regaled daily in
| their homes or offices through these
| columns with exact, impartial and in
| teresting accounts of happenings here,
| there and everywhere, possibly often
wonder at the means by which these
results are obtained and how a paper in
the local field obtains report of the
daily doings of the world as compre-
hensive as that available to the great
est papers in the largest cities on the
continent
Here's the Answer.
The answer is contained in the cap
ton, by the Associated Press" These
few words, to the initiated, mean that
in addition to the high-class reportorial
staff known to the city, The Star has
another stan composed of the keenest
and best newspaper men in the world;
a staff that instead of being confined
to one city is worldwide in it's territory;
| that can and does report on the spot
the action of a city council a hundred
miles from here and the deliberations
of peace commission sitting half a
world away; that is on duty twenty
four hours in the day on the Mexican
border and the Arctic circle; that is as
much at home in the tropical jungles
or front line trench as our city hall
man is in the ante-room of the Com
mssioners' office.
"By the Associated Press" seen in
these columns, reflects the coordination
of moro than LOO newspapers of the
United States in mutual association
by which each individual paper becomes
| the servant Of all. and all the servants
of each.
Benefit Of Small-Town Dailies.
The great metropolitan publications
with their enormous staffs and facili-
ties are at the service Of the smaIl-town
daily. The small daily is also bound
in honor in the service Of the greater
publications. Each places at the dis
posal of the other through the medium
Of the Associated Press, the important
happenings of it's locality.
In addition, through it's membership
in the Associated Press, each member

AS a member of this great cooper
ative organization and under the cap
tion by the Associated Press" the

LONDON GREETINGS
PLEASE AMERICANS
Closing of Officers Club
Marks End of Collective
Hospitality to U. S. Men.
ENTERTAINED IN HOMES

LONDON. March 20 Correspond
American Officers Club in London will
be closed in April, marking the end of
purely British collective hospitality
extended to American forces in Eng
land. Many Americans who have been
stationed in England say that the
British people have gone much farther
IN their efforts to make them content
ed and comfortable than they could
have expected and are carrying home
with them pleasant memories of their
stay here.
The Officers Club here probably was
the most notable achievement of hos
pitality. When American officers began
to arrive in large numbers there was
difficulty in providing club arrange
ments.
Club Provided for Americans.
War activities at London had resulted
in clubs being overtaxed with British
newcomers. At the suggestion of Sir
Harry Britain. who had spent several
months in the United States in 1915, the
fliSrlms organization, of which he is
president, undertook to provide a club.
The palatial house of Lord Leconfield
mad been obtained and the club was
organized. 1t was popular from the day
1t opened and through it American off,
GERS were given the opportunity to be-
come acquainted with English people.
In entertaining Americans in their
homes Londoners did not confine them
selves to men they had met at the Off
GERS Club. Almost daily, American
Army and Navy headquarters received
requests that they designate few men
for teas, dances or dinners
Theaters Open to Men in Uniform.
committee of the ministry of infor-
nation devoted itself to entertaining
Americans for several months. The
National Sporting Club was free to
Americans in uniform every Wednesday.
Vice Admiral Sims and Gen. Biddle, the
American commanders, frequently at
tended. Theatrical managers arranged
performances every Sunday night at the
Palace Theater for Americans in uni
form. Theater tickets to many London
attractions were free to any American
soldier for the asking at any time, and
hundreds of men took advantage Of this
hospitality.
This committee also sent entertainers
to hospitals where American wounded
were receiving treatment and it pro-
vided theatrical attractions at other
English cities where Americans were
stationed.

them ,and because they thought he
should take the whole Congress into
his confidence.

CAN PAY Off the WAR
Debt I'M Is YEARS
To Do So United States Have to Pay
$1,200,GG9,G00 Each Year, 1t
Is Figured.

Washington, Feb. 25.-It will cost
the American people about 81 200,-
100000 a year for the next 25 years
to pay off the war debt, according to
estimates of the treasury, based on
incomplete knowledge OF precisely
what the final war debt will be. This
calculation is made on the assumption
that the next war debt, with deduc-
tions for loans to the allies, will be
in the neighborhood of $18,0O0,000,-
900. Interest on this amount at the
rate of Al per cent would be $685.
100000 year to be raised by taxes,
and then repaid to bondholders.
In addition, about SAT- 100000 would
have to be provided every year as a
sinking fund to redeem all bonds in
25 years.
This would require cumulative
sinking fund provision of 2.32 per
cent. Congress has not yet authorized
establishment of a sinking fund as
recommended by Secretary Glass
Treasury officials say that if this
authorization is given, bonds might be
bought up on the market each year
or called for redemption at the peri
DDS provided in terms under which
they were sold.

PROHIBITION TO BRING
COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE
Hazel Mackaye Advises Using Build
ings as Centers for Drama, Conn.,
munity Sings and Enter
tainments.

Why not turn the corner saloon into
community playhouse when the law
effects the closing Of these gathering
places, asks Miss Hazel MacKaye, di-
rector Of the Department of Pageantry
and Drama Of the l'ational Young Wo-
mems Christian Association?
81 went over on the West Side Of
New York one night recently to attend
community drama meebing," Miss
MacKaye says in explaining her theo-
ry, "and as was riding along noticed
how many saloons there were-one on
every corner and another In the mid
die Of the block, it seemed, all just
blazing with lights. Those lights ought
not to go out with prohibition. They
ought to shine for something worth
while to all Of the people, and what
better than community drama and
sings?"
Miss MacKaye feels that the war
has given great impetus to popular
interest in drama and that through
pageantry and drama a great deal In
the way of Americanization can be ef-
fected.
Through the community center, II II
be in a district populated largely Of
one foreign nationality, these people
could present pageants Of the life In
their mother countries, transatlng
them into English, so that Americans
and also the younger English speaking
members of their household could un-
derstand and appreciate their tradi-
tions. American art would be greatly
enriched thus through the drama Of
all Of the nations whose peoples have
settled in this country. On the other
hand American ideals, American his
tory and American festivals, even laws
such as child labor and minimum wage,
could be interpreted to these people
by means Of pageantry.
"Peorse have been learning not only
to work together, but to play tOgeth-
err" Miss MacKaye says, particularly
since the war, when the people stood
together in drives and large patriotic
community entertainments. The op-
portunity to build up great commu-
nifty organization Is now at hand, and
the time is ripe for it. Why not utilize
the corner saloon?"
