other managers, and, Of course, Signor
Gatti-Casazza, are showing increasing

IF managers would only realize
that it is not necessary to spend such
large sums on scenery, the new ideas
would travel more quickly even than at
present. Let me give an instance: Ed

means, yet we produced the atmosphere

Our singers and actors may not equal
those of the past, our composers and
dramatists may lack inspiration and
vitality, but at least we have our scene
painters. In the establishment of
national school of opera or drama this
may be beginning hind end foremost, but
some beginning is better than none at
all. The Metropolitan Opera House,
so long the abode of extreme conserva-
tism, has of late years even been tax
ing the lead in the encouragement of
what is new in the art of the scenic
artist. 1t has given US Urban, and
Paquerau, and Pogany, and Boris Anis-
field, and though we still have the gilt
tering gullibiities of Mario Sala, Of
Milan, Metropolitan audiences no
longer believe that this painters

to our ears, our eyes have been opened.
1t undoubtedly is Josef Urban to
whom we owe managerial recognition
Of the new art. He broke through the
barbed wire of inertia and stupidity
which always blocks the way of any
innovator, leaped the trenches of OPP
position, and passed safely through the
barrage of ridicule. Behind him came
the others, younger men all, who dug
in and held their new positions. where
at last reports they were considering
the offer of an armistice And happy
we may be to realize that the youngest
of these soldiers of the new art are ma
tive born Americans. Robert Edmond
Jones, Rollo Peters and Norman Bell
Geddes, Granville Barker, Arthur Hop
klns and the Russian Ballet have &C
quanted us with Mr. Jones's work.
Mr.. Peters has painted sets for Mrs.
Fiske, for Henry Miller, and now for
the Theatre Guild; Mr.. Bell Geddes
last season made fifteen Broadway
theatre productions and one for the
Metropolitan. 1t is indeed these young
artists who offer what is most vital
and significant in the American thea
tire day. Before them our actors and
our playwrights and our composers
ought 10 hang their heads; they have
technique, but they also have courage
and ideals. In short, they are real.
When our Broadway playwright begins

WHAT THE SOLDIERS THINK
 nE


 One of the most interesting studles these reconstruction days is that of the returning and returned soldiers.
 What do they think of the war?
 As typical a statement and as terse, as we have seen is the message sent a chum by an aviator officer, leaving France for this side;
 Dear Pal: Deloused, demobilized, delighted"
 That nearly tells it, though not quite.
 returning officer was asked how he enjoyed the war
 T wouldn't take $1O,OO0 for my ex- perience; and I wouldn't give a dime to do it again" was his summary.
 Most of them avow it was an ex- perience worth much more than il cost, and avow, with equal distinct ness, that never again fer them.
 Those who feared that universal military service would make us a l militaristic nation, with our young men eager for war, for wars sake, were needlessly alarmed.
 Indeed the experience of these mil lions of young men seems to have be- come the nations best assurance that it need not fear, for another generation at least, any general urge to combat. The prize fight has considerable more of glamor to the ringside specta- ! tor, than it has to the battered pug, 1 striving desperately to last out the l ten rounds and collect his little purse ] We never knew a professional fight i CT who sought a scrap for the thrill of | it, and the returning soldier will re- main returned if he has his saI 1 about it.
 The American army today offers more inducements and finds fewer candidates, than it ever did before
 And this is true, to d greater degree in all the armies of the world
 If kaiser Bill had full control o1 Germany he would have slight chance of stirring his people into another wa, of conquest.
 And if the cZar was back all his old time power would not be enough tC push ten million peasants over the brink into the hell of war.

LODGE NEW CHARGES
 AGAINST WILLIAMS

WASHINGTON, July 19.-A new set of sensational charges was sprung to- day out of the fight on the reappoint- ment of John Skelton Williams as comptroller of the currency.
 Representative McFadden of Penn sylvania, appearing before the house rules committee, charged that Will jams assisted his brother law, Lewis C. Williams of Richmond, Na- in the sale of an office building site in the capital to the government and that the comptroller shared in the commission for the sale. McFadden declared if the rules committee did not provide for an investigation, he would move the impeachment of the comptroller from the floor of the house
 Comptroller Williams immediately categorically denied McFadden's charges, declaring his brotherin-law acted as an attorney for the property owners, and that the comptroller not only had no concern in the transac- tion, but received no part of any com mission.
 The comptroller alsto called on the senate banking committee, holding hearings on his renomination, to sum z mon McFadden for Monday morning to give testimony and to be confronted by the comptroller.

solution of the senate situation. Some senators interpreted this position, taken after seeing seven republicans, as suggesting that the president might have in mind some definite plan to bring together the administration sen ators and those republicans who are for interpretative reservations.
 Such a plan would not appeal to the group of republicans led by Senator Borah, republican, Idaho who advo- cated eliminating entirely some fea lures which the president thinks vital The exact extent of reservations fla vored by such senators as Chairman Lodge of the foreign relations com mittee and Senator Knox, republican. Pennsylvania, never has been defin- itel'- revealed.
 The Shantung provision confidently is expected by some of the presidents recent callers to be the subject soon of a white house declaration either in the form of a public statement or a message to the senate.
 The senate was not in session today and the foreign relations committee also took a rest. Both will meet Mon day. Tuesday President Wilson is ex- pected to see more republican senators at the white house.
