BRITISH DRAMA LEAGUE
ROTTEN, Iowa FUTILE

London, June 19,-Correspondenc
OF The Associated Press. )-fRotten,
low and futile" Miss Lena Ashwell,
one of the best-known English actres
ses, has characterized the inaugural
meeting of the British Drama League,
she said, nothing could be determin-
al to the wholesome life of the ma
ton than such plays.
What astounds me-" she continued
"is-that there is no apprehension is
this great country of the power of
the drama"
She recalled that during the war
Germany sent Shakespearean COM
panies to Switzerland, while Eng
land, while English dramatic art was
represented in Paris by a revue. At
the time of greatest stress none of the
men from overseas who came to Lon
don had the opportunity of seeing
any Of the plays which represent
England's national ideal, Miss Ash
we'll declared. wv
The point of view of the church
was expressed by THE Rev. H. R. L.
Sheppard, who declared it to be
quite monstrous that the Christian
Church does not possess its own
theatre in London, where it might
amplify the message it gives from the
the pulpit"
Telling of his experience with
Shakespearean plays produced in the
East End, he said: 1.-THE West End
does not realize how the poorer peo-
pie love good stuff 1t is the same in
France Mr.. Atkins does not want a
bedroom scence any more than l 1t
does not shock him any more than it
shocks me. 1t surely insults his in

NITROGL YCERINE IS FOUND UNDER
 SMALL BRIDGE
Officers Discover Internal Machine Just in Time to Prevent Explosion. Which Would Have Blown Building to Atoms; Bomb Set by Clock to Burst o; 30 D. m.

DOUGLAS, Arz Feb. l3-Alertness on the mart of the military police today probably saved the Douglas Y M C. A. building from being blown to atoms by deadly bomb of unique design and which filled with nitroglycerine
 The bomb found under a small bridge that spans one of the small canals the side of the building The clock the bomb set for l030 and only few minutes before that hour that the internal machine was found
 Whether the bomb intended for the r. M c A or not has not been learned but generally conceded by the members of the military police and attaches of the department of justice that regardless of the original intention of the per placing the bomb the place found the association building and those in the immediate vicinity would have been wrecked
 The bomb was turned over to Captain Wright of the military intelligence department who in delivered to the department of justice officials
 The bomb consisted of pasteboard carton in which shell from which the milk had been poured and nitroglycern substituted The cocoanut was attached by fuse about "A inches in length new alarm clock The glass had been removed from the face of the clock and one end of the fuse attached the hammer of the alarm The whole neatly and tightly wrapped with adhesive tape and evidently the work of experts
 Department of justice attaches and officers of the mi tary police very careful in handling the machine until all the wires and fuses had been tested
 The bomb had evidently been placed under the bridge during the late hours Wednesday early Thursday morning because inquiries the part of the officials failed to get any ces of suspicious lettering around the premises of the association.

HUN ARMY NEARLY
 ALL DENOD|LIzED
Force to Consist of 100000 in West and 250,000 on
 East Front
CRy Review Leasea Wirel

LONDON. Feb. IS.-DemObiliZation of Germany'S old army is almost com pleted. according 10 authoritative in- formation here After Saturday when the 1916 and 1917 classes will be dis banded. the German. army will consist of about 100000 men on the eastern frontier and the 1918 and 1919 classes, numbering about 15O,O men. which will be kept as a standing army.
 Efforts of the German authorities to recruit volunteers for the army have been unproductive. butt the official view here is that they may be more successful later. Men who have been in the army for four years have no great Ndesire to continue in the fight ing force, but it is expected that they will find civil life in Germany less at tractive than the army and therefore probably will be willing to enlist later. Recruiting also is hindered by the fact that nearly every hamlet is trying to raise its own defense forces.
 Many former soldiers are joining the local forces and are staying at home to protect their communities rather than join the national forces
 The German force on the eastern frontier is divided into two armies The northern headquarters is at Bran denburg and is commanded by General von Quasi. The southern force, un' der Field Marshal vOn Woyrsch, is al Sagan. Field Marshal von linden burg has not arrived at KOlberg, Ger man main headquarters in the east, al though preparations have been made to receive him there.
 The British general staff does not view as dangerous the possibility oi Germany making a military effort, bu; is taking full cognizance of the situa tion which the staff believes exists It is pointed out that the German gen eral staff still is in existence and that doubtless much artillery still is iI hand. The Germans, it is believed could get plenty of men quickly il necessary, but the problem of stores would fOrestall any quick ambitions or attempts to renew the fighting,
