ILICE rSIT-BY- THE-FIRE is the
n latest addition to the uniform edi-
ton of the plays of ]. NJ. Barrie. The
author of The Admirable Crichton con-
tinues his ingenious game of initiating the
reader of fiction into the labyrinthine
meshes of theatrical prompt-books- He is
not new at that game: Bernard Shaw was
perhaps the first TO turn thestage directions
of yesteryear into elaborate narratives, that
led more or less imperceptibly into dra-
matte dialogue, though some years ago
Bronson Howard in his Kate printed a
play that presented the appearance of an
ordinary novel.
Notice how easily one slips from the
pure narrative that opens Alice Sit-by-the-
Fire into the play proper. After some
five pages of description, we read, apro
pos of young Cosmo:
ale is plunged in Gloom. The cause
of his woe &c telegram, which he is
regarding from all points of the compass,
as if in hopes of making it send him bet
ter news. At last he gives expression to
his feelings. 'All 1 can say he sums up
in the first words of the play, is that if
father tries to kiss me, I shall kick him."
And We are off.
This play, one of the best products of
a writer who has enriched modern dra-
matte literature as fully as any other liv-
ing Englishman, is one of those eaptivat-
ing pieces in which the dramatist takes

undersea warfare, severed diplomatic re-

By ARTHUR BARTLETT MAURICE,
Member of the American Commission
for Relief in Belgium.

Member of the American Commission
for Relief in Belgium
TT was at diplomatic dinner at the
L German Legation at Brussels Of an
evening in May, 1914. The American
Minister, dropping his cigarette ash into
a silver bowl, noticed that the bowl was
married by bullet hole which probably
had history. Through a cloud of ciga-
rette smoke Herr Won Below, the host, told
the story, which had to do with the Boxer
riots in China. 81 have never had a
post" he said, "where there has not been
trouble; in Turkey it was the revolution;
in China it was the Boxers. l am bird
of ill-omen But now" he went on, II
have the most tranquil post in Europe;
nothing can happen in Brussels" Then,
over the coffee, those present fell to cele-
brating the peace, the calm, the repose
of the loveiest, the most charming city
in Europe.
Later Brand Whitlock was often to re-
call those words spoken in such apparent
lightness and to think of Won Below rs
indeed bird Of ill-omen. But for the
brief moment the American was living in
the bright spring and early summer that
carried so little hint of the impending
tragedy; revealing in the charm OF old
mansions, OF formal gardens and the mys-
terry of the high walls crowned with the
lavender blossoms of the wistaria vines.
The events of the world to be recorded
were the nights at the opera, the famous
soirees, beginning at II o'clock in the
salons of the Prince Charles de Ligne's
house in the Avenue des Arts; Debussy
playing the piano Of an afternoon at the
Wittoucks's, while an actress from the
Coincide Franchise of Paris, with "voice
sweet as falling rain" stood and recited;
the vision of the Spanish Ambassador,
the Marquis of Villalobar, standing beside
the Prince Napoleon in conservatory IN
the Rue Montoyer; the ball at the palace
and the figure of the King, in black even
ing dress, his arm in black sling, the re-
suit of fall from n vicious horse.
The season ended; the captains and
the kings departed. Two brief months
wrought the amazing change. An Aus
trian Archduke, to Brand Whitlock most
immaterial person, assassinated in Sar-
ajevo. The air full of rumors lightly and
almost happily banded. Then the grim
and awful reality; the great guns pound
ing at the Liege forts, the long lines of
refugees streaming into the city from their
homes 10 the eastward, and finally the
avalanche itself rolling into and through
Brussels. Standing by window of the
italian Legation in the Boulevard Bis
ehoffsheim the Minister watched the COM
ing, first n company in the sinister green
ish field gray, then hussars, in column of
twos, the black and white remnants fut-
tering from their lances, chanting in rude
chorus as they rode: "Heil dir liz Sieges-
kranz" The scene had the aspect of
mediBvalism; something terrible, too, that
almost savage chant and those gray horse
men pouring down out Of the Middle
Ages into modern civilization. The

Caring For Soldiers

Twenty-eight disabled soldiers are
enjoying the hospitality of Pierre S.
duPont's farm at Longwood, Pa.
Sometime ago it vas announced that
soldiers who were gassed or disabled
from their wounds and not able to do
a full days work would be offered the
advantages of one of the large houses
on the farm where they could rest and
restore their health. At the same
time all those who wished to do a
little work for a short time each day,
or for longer periods, would have a
chance to occupy themselves at the
regular rate of wages paid for such
work. The plan has been a great sue
cess. Many of the soldiers who re-
turned from overseas still suffering
from gas attacks or not able because
of their effect and their wounds to do
a full days work have found an OPP
portunity at Longwood to regain their
health and at the same time learn
something useful.

any fear of American manufacture,
which the Germans apparently thought
could not be successfully carried on
under conditions prevailing in this
country in regard to costs and to the
supply of technicians and skilled labor.
Upon consideration, however, it SEEM
ed that these patents offered a posi-
BILE solution for the problem, hitherto
unsolved, of protecting the new Ameri-
can dye industry against German COM
petition after the war. If they were
not taken out in order to prevent
American competition they must have
been obtained as a weapon against
competing imports. If they were suf-
ficient to stop importation of compe-
ting Swiss, French, and English dyes,
they would presumably serve, in
American hands, to stop the importa-
ton of German dyes. This was practic-
ularly probable in the case of the pro-
duct patents, since most of the coal
tar dy~estuffs are definite chemical COM
binations to which a product patent
is entirely applicable.
The idea was accordingly conceived
that if the German chemical patents
could be placed in the hands of any
American institution strong enough
to protect them, a real obstacle might
be opposed to German importation
after the war, and at the same time
the American industry might be freed
from the prohibition enforced by the
patents against the manufacture of
the most valuable dyestuffs. Accord
ingly, these considerations were laid
before various associations of chemical
manufacturers, notably the Dye Insti-
tute and the American Manufacturing
ton was met with an instantaneous
and enthusiastic approval, and as a re-
suit a corporation has been organized
to be known as the Chemical Founda-
ton (Inc.), in which practically every
important American manufacturer will
be a stakeholder, the purpose of which
is to acquire by purchase these Ger
man patents and to hold them as a
trustee for American industry, "for
the Americanization of such institu-
lions as may be effected thereby, for
the exclusion or elimination of alien
interests hostile or detrimental to the
said industries and for the advance
ment of chemical and allied science
and industry in the United States"
The voting stock is to be placed in a
voting trust of which the trustees are
to be the five gentlemen who for
months have been acting as the sales
committee which assess upon sales

say, George L. Ingraham Former pre-

School and Work

The last session of the Delaware
Legislature made a new school law
which gives more control by the State
Board of Education over the educa-
tional system by taking power from
the district trustees. Better school
houses, more money for teachers and
more days attendance are required.
The requirements that children must
begin in September and continue all
the year has aroused much opposition
to the law among the farmers who are
in open rebellion in Sussex and Kent
Counties. Farm labor is so scarce
and boys and girls help on farms is
absolutely needed to gather crops.
Last Saturday at Dover at the meet
ing of the State Board of Education,
at which County School S~uperinten-
dents Holloway, of Kent, and Har-
desty, of Sussex, were present, the
matter Of school attendance was
brought up. In view of the scarcity
of labor in the counties and the lack
of facilities in the way of school build
ings and equipment, it was the opinion
of the members of the Board that pro-
visions should be made for meeting
these conditions in as practical and
systematic a manner as possible. The
following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
That the rules and regulations of
the State Board, adopted September
8, in regard to school attendance, be
amended to provide that absence of
pupils prior to November 1, 1919, be
permitted, on written statement of
parents or guardians that absence is
necessary for the purpose Of agricul-
tural pursuits and other necessary
work. On making application, par
ents or guardians are requested to
state the number of days absence
asked.

Gen. dupont to Build Maryland Road
T. Coleman DUPONT, the Baltimore
American says offers to build free
of charge a link of road about 3h miles
long, to connect the Delaware Boule-
ward which he is building, with the
Maryland good roads system north of
Berlin.
He is seeking rights of way, 200 feet
wide, to correspond with the width of
the Delaware road. The proposition
will be taken up by the Maryland
Roads Commission as soon as the
rights of way shall have been secured.
For the construction of this link the
Maryland Legislature appropriated
$4,000. Because of the high price
of labor and materials this fund was
exhausted before the gap was reached.
General DUPONT comes forward with
the offer to complete the task under
taken by the State. With the compile
ton of this link and of the Delaware
Boulevard a new road to Wilmington
and Philadelphia will be open to resi-
dents of Worcester County. Since the
close of the war General dupont has
renewed his efforts to complete the
magnificent highway planned by him
from the Maryland line to Whining
ton. In this improvement he was VIC
lently combated by residents along the
proposed highway. In their opposi-
ton they resorted to the courts to
thwart General DUPONT, who was
awarded favorable decisions, the Su-
preme Court of the United States COM
ing to his aid. To overcome obstacles
the Delaware Legislature made provi-
sion for the construction of good roads
under it's own supervision. Through
the States agency General dupont is
carrying out his project.
