launched into a vigorous denuncation
of disloyalty.
Clearly and earnestly he arraigned
the false doctrines that possess many
people to-day, scored Bolshevsm. an
archy and ksocialism, and gave solemn
warning to all who might hear his
words against following the false gods
that masquerade as patriots. He was
vigorously applauded at the close Of
his remarks.
Henry Flower, first marshal, and
Charles Clark, chairman Of the class
committee, both members Of the 1916
football team, and Francis W. Hatch,
captain of the tennis team, headed the
four hundred seniors in their process
sion to the theatre. Captain Hatch, who
Is class orator, exhorted members to
assist in the work of helping to recon-
struct devastated Europe. He said it
no longer was possible for the United
States to return to her former isolated
position in the affairs of the world.
Robert C. Rand, Of Rye, N Y, read
the class poem, in the absence of Will
lam r. Parsons, of this city, who has
just returned from serving overseas
The poem, entitled "Ideals," follows:
The world is filled with victory-and tears
Triumph with fear and love with hatred
blends:
Look well--for to the men of coming years
danger-laden heritage descends
See how an impulse sways a nations vote.
How crimes go free till justice seems un
strung.
How anarchy draws near and peace remote
. but it is stern time to be young
yet in the tangled web, half truth, half lies.
One thread runs straight and still holds fast
10 mock each specous prophet that denies
The immemoral lesson of the past
We knew about the schemes of men and
And that in spite of madmens madder
dreams
NO sudden change can make a paradise,
And that disaster turks behind extremes
Some things should be and always have been
sO
What's yours is yours and what's mine is
mine;
Out of shameless wrong no right can
grow,
Nor robbery of justice be the sign.
At o'clock the class marched in
body to the Stadium for other exer-
cises. Frederick M. Warburg, of New
York City, son of Felix M. Warburg,
the international banker, delivered the
humorous ivory grafton.
The glee club sang several college
melodies. Marshal Flower presented
the senior class banner to Henry F.
Colt, of Geneseo N. Y, the freshman
president.

the campaign in the city, yesterday
issued a last minute appeal to the
people of New York.
II want to make an earnest appeal
to the citizens of Greater New York,
he said, "to do all in their power to
make the last day of the Boy Scout
drive great success.
"If the Boy Scout movement can GO
into Pell and Mott streets, and make
red-blooded American boys out of the
Young Chinese there, do you not think
that your dollar is worth while?
who knows what the future will
bring forth? Let US ever prepare for
the future, and if thS future of Amer
lea depends upon the boyhood of to-
day, ~t us make sure we are not
overlooking any obligations that are
upon our shoulders.
"We want more Boy Scouts and few
er gunmen.
MAKE this last day of the drive the
most important thing of your days
work. See that you and all your neigh
bors do something constructive"
William G. McAdoo, national chair
man of the drive, added his plea for a
last great effort by the city to send the
drive over the top.
THE Boy Scout campaign" he said,
is not for money to buy uniforms and
tents and camping outfits for scouts.
Scouts buy such things for themselves.
The drive is for money necessary to
enable the Boy Scouts of America Or
ganization to carry its great work for
boyhood into every home in Greater
New York where there is a boy twelve
years old or over
This movement has the unqualified ID
Endorsement of representative church
men, schoolmen, statesmen, business
men based upon thorough knowl-
edge of its constitution, management
and aims. We urge upon the consid-
Grafton and prompt action of every
reader in New York and it's suburbs
the needs Of the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea for large and prompt support tc
make possible more rapid extension OF
its boy membership"
The campaign will wind up tonight
with mass meeting and rally in the
stadium of the College of the City of
New York.
The police band and glee club will
furnish the music and Robert L. Moran,
president of the Board of Aldermen;
Big Bill" Edwards, Police Commits

Drama
'Who Did H?" Opens
1t Belmont Theatre

u
There was a gun for every character
in "Who Did It?" the mystery melo-
drama by Stephen Gardner Champlin,
which, after several postponements,
opened at the Belmont Theatre last
night. Such recklessness with small
arms indicates that there ought to be
a Sullivan law for the stage The
mystery, which at first view seems
rather sluggish, is prodded into activity
by an extremely energetic district at
torney, who being opportunely on the
scene, brings out the fact that nearly
every one present has a sufficient
enmity for the dead man to make them
likely suspects. With these facts he
brings SO many guns out of hiding that
the play turns into farce. 1t is as
farce, and in certain moments of broad
burlesque that the play is diverting.
But, unfortunately, Mr.. Champlin has
rot the skill to hold the piece with any
steadiness to either farce or melo-
drama. 1t careens rather wildly be-
tween the two, and a further difficulty
is added by the fact that the complica-
ton of an actual murder stalks about
In the play. The whole fabric of the
piece comes down with a dull thud,
however, when it is disclosed that the
plot is all piece staged by
the heroine to prove that she can act
in order that she may convince her
husband that she is entitled to a career.
AT the same time the real murder is
cleared up by an equally casual expla-
nation.
"Who Did IT," is not above the
grade of an amateur effort and good
part of the acting matches it. .Indeed
the effect was that of an earnest effort
of a dramatic school, Beulah Poynter
was comfortably professional in her
and so were Peter
M. Lang and Francis Morey.

MUST BE INTOXICATING BEER
Porto Rican Judge Puts Burden OF

The decision was in the case brought
by the United States district attorney
against the Porto Rico Brewing com

admitted to contain 2la per cent alco-
hol, as authorized by the legislature
following the prohibition vote in 1917.

the beer are reported Ia have been
made by local authorities to ascertain
