LYRIC

The famous melodraHa Pierre of the Plains" now being presented at the Lyric theater by the Pou Play CTS. is a drama of the wonderful northwest about 70 miles above the borderline of Montana where men break their own laws and have only the Royal Mounted Police, one of the most powerful of police organizations in the world to contend with The Royal Mounted Police play a prom lnent part in this production and add zest to many of the exciting situa- tons with which the story abounds. In the first act the sister of the hero inc is being sought for the murder of an Indian and Pierre tries to save him from arrest. The sergeant of the police is sent to the post with or derS and Pierre drugs him so as to give the herolne's brother an oppor- tunity to escape across the border
 The girl who is in love with the ser geant rides like the wind on horse back to the post with the orders and unwittinsly causes her brothers ar rest, but he is again helped to es- cape by Pierre. It is then that the police start a hunt for both the 11lur- derer ard Pierre but the latter eIudes them and incidentally assists in get ting the brother across the border,

Today's Anniversary

Diplomatic relations between Eng land and Russia were established for the first time 262 years tgo today. Car Ivan, believing that the time had ar rived when his country should enter into formal relations with England, dispatched a noble named Osep Napea, as ambassador, with a large suite, and rich gifts of furs and skins for the English monarch. The party was shipwrecked off the coast of Scot land, but the ambassador and three attendants were saved, and after be- ing handsomely entertained by the Queen Regent at Edinburgh set out for London. Viscount Montague the Lord Mayor, received the Russian ambassador and about g. month later he vas presented at court. The rep resentattve Of the Muscovite Emperor was treated with every consideration and concluded commercial treaty between England and Russia before setting out to report to his imperial master.

China's Encyclopedia

The first European encyclopedia was probably the work of Abulphara- giu the first volume of which was published 676 years ago today To the Chinese, however, belongs the credit for having originated the en- cyclopedia idea, and China boasts of having the largest of all of these. The Great Encyclopedia of China is by far the most stupenduous literary ac- com pIishment in the history of the world. The work of compilation has been carried on for centuries and has engaged the labors of over 2,OOO scholars. The "Yung-Lo-Ta-Tien," as the work is called, comprises over 22,000 sections and is bound in 11,OOO volumes, each half an inch in thick ness. The work contains a total of 917,4S0 pages. The volumes when laid flat one upon another form a stack of books 450 feet high. There are only few complete sets of this gigantic work in existence. The first English encyclopedia was issued in 1920. and the great French one was published in 1751 and succeeding years. The Encyclopedia Brittanfca was first published by William SmeIlie in lT71.

EMMY DESTINN

Emmy Destinn, for several years a dramatic soprano at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, was born
 in Prague, the Bohemian capital, fl years ago today. The fair Bohemian songbird has not been in America
 since 1917. It is said that she was virtually held a prisoner by the Aus trians in her mantic castle at Nie- haus, Bohemia. until Austria col lapsed. Nothing has been heard of her for some time. Soon after the outbreak of the war Mime. Destinn applied for American citizenship, the better to protect her property inter ! ests. She is said to have remained in l Bohemia in order to be near her | fiance. Dinh Gi1ly, the Algerian sing CT. The latter was in Prague when | the war began, and, as a member of
 the French Colonial Reserves, he was | placed under arrest. sHe was offered i his liberty if he promised not to fight
 for the Allies, but he refused to make
 such a pledge, and was kept pris- | oner of war. Mme. Destinn once sang l in a cage containing fourteen lions.

THE TAN REPUBLIC

Tomorrow is independence day in the Dominican Republic, which occu- pies the eastern and larger part of the island of Santo Domingo or Haiti. It was on Feb. 27, 1844, that the peo- pie rose in revolt against the Haitian dominion and started a rebellion which resulted in the formation of an independent republic in 1S4S. Dur ing the last seventy-five years Domi- mica has been an independent nation, with the exception of a brief interval in the sos when Spain temporarily re- gained her lost sovereignty. only to lost. it again about two years later.
 Although occupying the same is land, the Haitians and the ~DOmini- cans have little in common in langu- age, color, or racial descent Haiti is quite properly called the Black Republic The Haitians are nearly all pure bIooded Africans, and speak the French tongue. The DOminicans are largely of Spanish descent, with a considerable adnixture of negro and Indian blood, and Spanish is the of f1cial language of the country.
 The neighboring republics are alike in that they are subject to frequent political convulsiOns, although the revolutions in Santo Domingo are not nearly so N1Oletll anu pIOOllS III ClLttL acter as those of the black republic. Uncle Sam has of late years found it necessary to interfere quite frequent ly in Dominican affairs, and to help to straighten out the tangled fiscal condition of the government.
 Although the Dominican republic may be called backward, it is a. nation of light and learning as compared with Haiti, where nine-tenths of the people are negroes and most of the remainder might almost as well be so far as exhibition of progressive spirit is concerned. The Doninicans, al though climatic and industrial condi- tions are the same, are eager and alert to embrace modern ideas, and have attained a state of culture vast ly superior to that of Haiti, which is a section of Africa set down in the New World.
 Only about one-third of the popu- lation of Santo Domingo are negroes, and perhaps a majority of these are men from other West Indian islands who have been employed to work on the coast plantations. The govern nent of the Dominican Republic is almost entirely in the hands of white

WEST END

Wallace Reid's new Paramount picture, The Dub,'' Is the story of a man who made good. One man sees him finch in a trivial test of his nerves and decides that he Is a. cow ard.

PARK

(Review).
 Anna Held. Jr., daughter of the in- imitable Anna Held. came to the Park last night for a two night stand witt her own company and was well re- cefved by a fairly large sized au- dience
 The production was worthy of Gilfol, favorite in vaudeville circles, and Helen Primrose, one of the best impressiOnists in America. Miss Held, in a recitation which portrayed the sufferings of France during the present war scored heavily and in several numbers initiated the late Anna. Held to perfection, receiving g hearty applause at the conclusion Of her mothers famous song, I just can't make my eyes behave"
 Harry Gilfol in several speciaIties, provoked rounds of laughter while Joe Daniels in song numbers, was far better than the usual run of vau- deville singers.
 The production opened with prac- ticauy the entire cast of principals scattered in the audience and this de- parture was a complete trium ph Harry Gilfol in the roll of candy boy, playing the part to perfection
 The chorus was sprightIy and pret- ty and the show, as a whole, is worthy of witnessing.
 It will be repeated this evening.

men of Spanish blood. The blacks hold minor offices on an equality with the white men, however, and there is no race question, for the Dominican law makes no distinction in the color of the skin.
 Perhaps there is no other country on earth. with the possible exception of Brazil, where whites, blacks and ''tans'' associate so freely as in Santo Domingo. IntermarFiag ge between races has been so. frequent that the pure white and the pure black races are gradually becoming extinct. and tan is the prevailing color scheme. They are a pleasant hospitable peo- pie, the Dominicans, and an increas- irgly large number have been edu- cated in the universities of Europe and the two Americas.
 The fact that the impossible roads reduce attendance at the country churches doesn't prove that the meet ing to secure higher prices for farm products won't have a crowd.

Cost Of Steel Strike Shown
The Senator produced figures to
show the steel strike already had cost
the striking workers $50, 100000 in lost
wages and the nation 100000 days
work that never can be converted into
productive efforts. The strike was
called against the wishes Of President
Wilson and the advice of Samuel Com
pers, he said. because Fitzpatrick and
Foster decided the time was ripe to
strike"
AS n solution Of this situation he
suggested these remedies:
First-Require compulsory investi-
cations and reports by fair and i'm
partial tribunals upon all disputes af
fecting wages or labor conditions be-
fore either strike or lockout is
permitted.
Second-Provide for Americanization
OF the foreigner who seeks the advan-
tages Of this country.
Third--Pepalize the agitator or or
ganizer who breaches revolution or
Bolshevism in any form.
Fourth - Vacate the naturalization
Of any man who violates the laws of
good citizenship
"No strike within generation was
more ancalled-for than the coal strike"
continued Senator Pomerene. Late in
September, when the people of the
country were seeking to get their win
ter's coal supply. and industry was
taking practically all the coal the
mines produced, and the miners in the
bituminous region were earning from
s5 to $40 day, and more if they
worked, their delegates in convention
passed resolutions terminating the
wage scales which had been approved
by the government, demanded a five
day week, a six-hour day and 60 per
cent increase in their wages, and at the
same time authorized the international
officials to call a general strike of all
of the bituminous mine workers
throughout the United States, to be-
come effective November i, 1919, unless
these new demands were granted.
Ambitious Leaders Blamed
~ want to acquit the miners of being
responsible for these demands They
were the demands of radicals and of
ambitious officers and delegates, many
of whom, in my judgment. were little
more concerned for the benefit of the
miners than they were for the public"

"In view of the importance Of hav-
ing the public, through you, UNDER
stand the spirit Of the Legion, / am
venturing in open public letter to add
the following as embodying what am
sure is the threefold purpose of the
great body Of ex-service men now en-
rolled in the American Legion:
"First-Mutual helpfulness whereby
all our comrades who have been handi-
capped in mind, body or position
through service to their country may
receive that liberal consideration which
they have reason to expect from q
grateful and patriotic nation.
Standardization for our country
from foes without. It will be our en-
deavor to assist in the adoption of a
military policy which will make it safe
from future aggression, and yet pol
icy which will be truly democratic.
"Third-Protection for our country
from foes within. Our stand for 100
per cent Americanism will be virile.
We realize, however, that now
our orders originate in the Constitu-
tion of the United States as expressed
through the duly constituted agencies
OF national, state and local government

support military authority. 1t is no
less our duty today stanchly to sup
