Albania Asks Fair PLAY

rope complacently breathed a sigh of re-
lief and thanked heaven that matter was
disposed of at last. 't---
But the chancelleries of Europe knew
differently. They knew that William Of
WED was not selected by the Powers, but
by Austria, principally because she saw
that by sending boy to do al mans job
there could be no definite settlement and
that the whole question would again re-
solve itself into its former status Of a
dispute between Austria and Italy. After
the Albanians had endured conditions as
long as possible they arose to demand an
explanation The Prince fed with his
wife and children to yacht which he al
ways had In readiness Just over the
garden wall.
"There," said Europe, albania has had
its chance and failed. There is no use to
try to set up government for those wild
people"
But was this really truef The Prince
by his fight-on hearing of it the military
club of Potsdam expunged his name from
the records of its members-proyed HIM
self to the AIbanians guilty of cowardiee,
the most despieable of all offences in the
eyes of brave mountain people.
Mr.. Chekrezi, who was secretary Of
the international commission Of control
and carried on the negotiations with the
rebellious Albanians, says that the Prince
committed a still graver offence against
the customs Of the country. The Prince
had come to Albania under the most sa-
cred agreement that the AIbanians could
enter into, besa or a mutual pledge Of
good faith. By his fight he showed mis-
trust of the Albanian honor and by his
acts he broke the besa. The day after his
flight he returned to his capital and rode
unattended out to meet his rebellious
subjects. They had only contempt for
him-@they could not recognize him as
their lawful ruler" Most of the world
that knows the inside story of this ex-
pertinent in government will agree that
the Albanians did not have q square deal.
And that is all that they are asking now.

TOHN DRINKWATER'S abraham
~ Lincoln is just the sort of play that
ought 10 have been written by an Ameri-
can; it would have been fitting. The only
trouble is that there was no American that
would-or could, perhaps?--do it. Percy
MacKaye, to be sure, has shown that he is
quite as capable as John Drinkwater OF
writing fine play about e great Ameri-
can, but even Mr.. MacKaye would, feel,
have failed, or rather refused. to eondense
his material so to fit the rather narrow
limits prescribefb by the EnglsL poet. Mr..
MacKaye seems at his best in the pageant
form, and we ought to rest content with
Washington, the Man VIC Made Us,
surely one of the finest historical plays
or whatever yor choose to term it-of this
generation.
But possibly it took an Englishman, en-
dowed with at least a historical SYM
patty with America, to bring to his sub
ject that aloofness, that spiritual detach-
ment which Galsworthy laid down as one
of the necessary attributes to the ideal
dramatist. The hypothetical American
author of the Lincoln play which was
never written would, of course. have ere
ated local color more IN keeping with the
facts, and observed perhaps a stricter sd-
herenee to historical incident I can I'M
agine Joseph Hergesheimer building up
about his character of Lincoln host of
enlightening and interesting details. But
for such a work as Mr.. Drinkwater pro-
posed to himself there is no need for this
sort of thing, appropriate as it may be in
its proper place. Just as there is need for
photographing the White House IN Lin
coin picture.
As a matter of fact, Mr. Drinkwater's
play is happily unhampered by the mi
nutiR of historical fact. He has conceived
his subject greatly; he has thrown himself
into the epic frame of mind, consciously
disregarding the episode and the tran
1uC SuOIuSCo ulh10C IuC
scenes, and which introduce and close the
play, are the lyrical echo of his epic in
SEPARATION. They at once take the play out
of the realm of the casual, almost out Of
the cycle of time itself. Whether con-
sciously or not, he has followed Shake
speare, the Shakespeare of that other
hero play, Henry Y.
The opening Chorus transports us away
from the immediacy of our interests, puts
us into frame Of mind that is larger and
freer than that Of our daily round; even
the story of Lincoln as we know it, is
wrapped IN a haze of romance that is at
first almost disappearing. The Lincoln
parior at Springfield is carried over into
an imaginary province, where high deeds
and thoughts are presented to us as
through the refrscting glass of transfg-
ured past.
The Chorus opens with
'Kinsman, you shall behold
Our stage, In mimic action, mould
A mans character.
"This is the wonder, always, everywhere
Not that vast mutability which is event,
The pits and pinnacles of change,
But mans desire and valance that range
All circumstance, and come to port un-
spent.
agents are these events, these ecstasies,
And tribulations, to prove tEe purities

The Play, 'Abraham Lincoln"

# poor oblivions that are our being,
When
Beauty and peace possess US, they are
none
But as they touch the beauty and peace
of men,
Nor, when our days are done,
And the last utterance of doom must fall,
Is the doom anything
Memorable for its apparelling;
The bearing of man facing it is all"
1t is the spirit of this Chorus that lifts
Abraham Lincoln above the level of even
the finest sort of purely naturalistic play
that could have been written on the same
subject. These lyric and epic interludes
are continually urging the dramatic cpl
sodes aloft into the regions where the poet
has conceived his theme. must quote one
other passage from strophic snd antistro-
phic interlude following the second scene.
This is more serenely. lyric in character
than the others 1t opens with
''You who have gone gathering
Cornfowers and meadowsweet,
Heard the hazels glancing down
On September ewes,
Seen the homeward rocks on wing
Over fields of golden whest,
And the silver cups that crown
Waterhly leaves"
The whole long passage closes with a
brief narrative note:
"He goes
The way of dominion IN pitiful, high
hearted fashion"
abraham LINCOLN is In form a pure
chronicle play; there is no plot to speak
of; only a sequence of scenes knitted to-
gether by the dominating figure Of Lin
coin. These scenes include the acceptance
of the nomination in 1860 the outbreak
of the war, the Emancipation Proclama-
ton, Lees surrender and the assassination
in 1865.
Barring a very few minor details-sueh
as the negro's absurd Fenimore- Cooper
Indian accent, and slight deviation from
historical facts-Abraham Lincoln is
work that cannot but APPEAL to Ameri-
cans, primarily as an effective play about
a man who is peculiarly sympathetic to
us all. It is much more besides, but we
can safely leave the poetic implications of
Mr.. Drinkwater 10 the future, and rest
content with play that is surely one Of
the finest Of our time.

New York Gangsters Start New Warfare
Gun Men Are Active; Waterfront Duel Fatal

Four blocks from the Marginal

Tanner" Smith, boss stevedore and
one-time gangster, recently murder
ed, more than 1000 longshoremen
saw Michael w. Stinson, known along
the New York waterfront as Fat
Stinson, shot and killed last week in
duel with a man who escaped.
Before he fell dead. Stinson also
had drawn revolver, and fired one
thought that the bullet went wild.
The fact that the fatal shot SEEM
ingly came from behind likened the
murder to that Of Tanner" Smith,
and of other gangsters, in the ap-
parently revived gang warfare.
Stinson, the police said, was an
habitue Of a place in Downing street,
some distance from the stamping
ground of the recognized gangs of
longshoremen.
Dramatic Setting for killing
The murder of Stinson as the po-
lice are inclined to consider it, was
staged as dramatically as the most
would set it.
At 6 o'clock about fifteen hundred
longshoremen left the late shift on
the Cunard inc steamship piers, in
West street. Among them was Stin-
son. In the gathering dusk the toll

of eating and relaxation before re"
