We note with considerable interest that the Arizona Republican, paper printed at Phoenix by Dwight B. Heard, is going to build a new building around Editor Billy Spear on the lots across the way from the J. c. Adams hotel and it is going to have an elevator which will travel 25O feet per second with refrigerator on each floor. It might seem from this last statement that Billy is going to write some decayed edtori- als but we hardly believe that.

One thing rather peculiar about our last army is that so few men and officers were pro- noted for bravery on the battle front-most of the promotions were made in the quartermaster department and other such departments far be- hind the lnes-some as far back as the good old U. s. A.

Speaking of roads, Williams has the best road for about seventeen miles east between Williams and Flagstaff that we have seen this year and it looks as though it had been worked regularly. The rest of the road into Flagstaff looks as though it's step-fathers and step-moth- CTS had stepped all around it.

LYRIC

'"The Unknown Voice" Is being pre- scented by the PoH Players at the Lyric theatre twice daily for the bal ance of the week. and with the open ing lines of the production the audi ence is mystifed. The solution does not present itself until the last min ute when all is made clear. The story Is good and the plot is unusual.
 Each of the players has an excel lent part, and does his or her best to add zest to it. The story Is one of unusual interest. A murder is committed with an unusual weapon, a woman's hat pin, and the question of who did the deed is given to the police to solve. There Is the gruff police inspector and his aides who are compelled to do their duty. The rash act of a jealous woman, who cheated herself out of the man she loved and when she attempts to resume her re- lations with him finds that he loves another, is shown as Is the loyalty of the woman who loves her fiance and sticks to him even though he is suspected of the murder of his former sweetheart.
 The play is one that none who en- joy ferreting out mysteries should miss and there is enough heart inter est and pathos to hold the attention of all.
 Next week the Poli Players vii present that well known comedy, T Pays to Advertise"

POLES

Filmed from the famous meiodrama of the same name, "The Midnight Patrol' has proved a real drawing card as the feature of a big program of vaudeville and photoplays at Polls theatre. The piece loses nothing of it's interest in it's picturizat1on and there is action every minute. The Midnight Patrol" is an Ince produc- ton that is most adequately present. ed. The Pathe News, another fea- ture of the film program. offers some timely views Of momentous events here and abroad.
 Topping the vaudeville bill are Ly- ons & Yosco, old favorites in Bridge port, with their program of songs and instrumental numbers. Lyons Is an accomplished harpist and his partner can pick a lot of music out of guitar as well as being possessed of pleas ing voice.
 Earle Cavanaugh and company, the company comprising half a dozen good-looking girls, offer musical re- vue that Is a real novelty. The ac- tion takes place ii a dental office op- erated by a charming miss and pro vides opportunity for @ lot of laugh able travesty.
 Keegan & ORourke, an entertain ing pair, present some pleasing songs and dances, and the Tivoli Girls, a trio of talented songsters, contribute a pro of operatic selections that are well done.
 The BelldaEs, with European con-
 edy and juggling oddity. complete the very we'll balanced bill.

SHUBERT
THE PASSING SHOW

The Passing Show of 1918 which had its opening at the Shubert Thea tre in New Haven, Monday evening can be best described as vaude- vile extravaganza with wonderfully pretty girls, T riot of color, gorgeous costumes and some exceptional scen- cry, There Is as usual with this win ter Garden Show, no plot, just one scene after another changed so rapily that the eye IS hardly able to follow them. The music is of the Jazz variety but contains nothing that will finger in the memory for any length of time and this show is not up to the usual Winter Garden stsndard In the musi- cal line. There Is plenty of comedy, the bulk of the work falling to the Howard brothers, Eugene and Willie, and they are no disappointment. Will lie is as funny as ever. and in addi- tion to his inimitable Yiddish role he does limitations of Harry Lauder, Jack Norworth and Al Jolson that are, in deed, coDnmendable, while Brother
 Eugene sings as acceptably and as sweetly as ever, The balance of the comedy corps is made up of Edward
 Basse, Irving Kaufman and Roy Cummings, who is given a rough 10
 minutes by the fly-men and scene shifters in his act with the elastic back-drop representing a golf course. The dancing Astires, Fred and
 Adele, and ons who Is named on the program as Dorsha, The Astires are a -tointed, limber-limbed pair and they are given several chances to dis play their talent to good advantage. The Passing Show of 1918 Is typ ica1 Shubert offering being in two acts and fourteen scenes and while it is evident that the management has spared no expense to make it 8 gor- geous spectacle and have succeeded | in that direction, still 1t impresses
 one as not being up to the usual
 standard of It's predecessors. It will i remain in New Haven the balance of
 the week with matiaees Friday and
 Saturday. >'~'

SAYS IRELAND'S WILL IS KNOWN
Rev. Gerald c. Treacy, s. J., Points to Recent British
 Elections.

Boston, Jan. 22.-The Rev. Gerald c. Treacy, S. J., late chaplain of the 3sth regular infantry, spoke last evening at Boston College High school hall on the subject: "The Logic of Ireland's Claim" indicating the parallel between American and Irish ideals in the consciousness of national aspirations.
 The lecture was given under the auspices of the Philomatheia club and was the first of a series of win ter lectures.
 Up to within a month ago 1t was quite common to hear Americans who had but an academic interest in the Irish question declare that it was inn possible to tell what Ireland wanted" he said. Ut was impossible because the majority of Americans are de- pendant on American newspapers for their foreign news, and so rigid was the British censorship that 1t was inn possible even for the British public to get accurate news of Ireland. But the December elections have made |. clear to the world that Ireland wants exactly what our American armies | have been fighting for; Those things | which we have always carried near | est our hearts, as our great presi- | dent reminds us in his famous war message, the right of those who sub init to authority to have voice in their own government

PLAZA

The last opportunity to see Gladys Brockwell in ''The Strange Woman" is offered three times today. It has a powerful love theme which is bound up with the question of whether mar riage is an essential social custom. The heroine, widow, refuses to be welded to her American sweetheart. The love affair begins in Paris and comes to somewhat unexpected and startling climax in a little town in Iowa. The Iowa folks do not under stand Parisian ideas or clothes and Miss Brockwcll experiences a great many very natural difficulties in edu- eating them. The story is taken from the huge Broadway stage success by Vim. J. Hurlburt.

STRIKE THREATENS
 TO TIE UP LONDON
Public Service Crippled As 15,0OO
 Quit Work.

London, Jan. PA strike which would close down all the engineering works and almost every class of pub lie service in London is threatened. Already 5000 workers are out, and as the men and the employers broke off negotiations for a settlement dur ing the day it is expected that at least 250,000 men engaged in the en- gineering trade will cease to work be- fore the end of the week.
 The trouble arises out of the oper- ation of the forty-seyen hour week, which has just been granted When the new hours came into operation the employers decided that forty-sev- en hours meant forty seven hours work and withdrew certain privileges that had been previously allowed, such as ten minutes for refreshments in the morning and a few minutes of the employers time for men engag- ed in rough work to wash their hands.
 Similar troubles are occurring in other parts of the United Kingdom.
