1Assoeiated Pressl

Washington, June 9.-President
Wilson in cablegram received today
by Senator Hitchcock, said he hoped
the investigation by the Senate for
eign relations committee of how
copies of the peace treaty reached pri-
vate interests in New York would ''be
most thoroughly prosecuted. The
president said he felt it was "highly
undesirable officially to communicate
the text of a document which is still
in negotiation and subject to change,
and that anyone who had possession
of the official English text 'has what
he is clearly not entitled to have or
communicate" This statement by the
president strengthened the. belief of
officials he would not comply with the
request of the Senate that the treaty
text be furnished it at this time.

The only difference, however, be-

Edwards Bros. was assessed with
$1,000 in 1917 and $1,000 in 1918. So
the amount they paid on in 1917 was
less than it was in 1918, and just how

mistake added 1915. 1916, 1917 and
1918 together, as comparison OF
the books shows that the assessment
for those years was approximately
the same.

THEATER GROWING IMMORAL :?
YES, SAYS BRITON-NO, SAYS AMERICAN

London, March 22.-(By MaiD-
That the moral tone of the London
theatres today is lower than at any
time during the last ten year, and
that modern productions tend ito
tamilarize girls and boys with the
sight of leWd, semi women, and
with songs suggestive and thoroughly
unWholesome," is the charge made by
Oscar Asche, famous actor manager
producer, of "I\ismet" and "Chu Chin
Chow fame
The ever-increasing flow or revues
featuring very flimsily or even par
TALLY clad chorus girls, as distin It
from the old Legs and Lace variety,
has given rise to considerable contro-
versy as to the morals of the stage,
and in the opinion of Oscar Asche,
Weldon GrosSmith and other artists
of the old school, the present-day Lon
don stage deserves all the rude things
that are being said about it.
Asche said, Il have heard and seen
things on the stage lately that pass
the limit of suggestiveness. Lewdness
is the only word that can be used. But
1t is no use saying that this class o.
entertainment is foisted on the pub
lie. for there must be great public
that does want it, or speculative syn
dicates would hardly choose revues,
except to meet a demand. as the revue
form of production is the most en-
pensive.
The fact remains that the tone of
the London stage as whole is lower
today than ten years ago. There are
several causes. One is the passing
or the actor manager, and that gem

successful comedies have proven thai
legs aren't essential to their success.
You will note there is tendency at
present to put more clothes on the
chorus.
The musical comedy, which is es-
sentially an American product, is the
most popular of any form of theatrical
entertainment in this country. The
American audience, with the most
catholic taste in the world, prefers the
extremes in shows. 1t wants, either
musical comedy or grand opera, but
will patronize anything in between.
The most important factor in the
success of musical comedy is humor.
Then comes catchy music. Costumes,
stage effects and mere pulchritude
are only the sidelights.
There seems to be an epidemic of
so-called bedroom farces in this
country at present. l have seen sew
eral Of them, and the only salacious
thing about them was the title. They
are absolutely and properly innoc-
uous.
The war lessened the attendance
at theatres for a while when we first
got into it, but il had no other effect,
aside from producing a number of
martial plays.
THE great majority of American
audiences are young people. 1t is to
them the producers must cater. | be-
lieve American boys ami girls are the
most moral in the world. That should
answer any question concerning moral
ity on the Americ IN stage.

do.
THE modern commercial manager
and modern theatrical syndicate do not
let vanity stand between themselves
and receipts.
Another cause of the theatres low
cred tone is that the real London -
and for that matter, British-au-
dience, is and has been in allegiance
The theatre is still in a war atmos
phere. The audience that was, is
still narrowed in mind; in purse, too
perhaps. 1t stays at home. The sec
ton that resumed theatre going is not
in a mind to accept serious emotional
experiences from the stage. It has
accepted enough from the war. The

CONVICTS THOUGHT TO
HAVE HEADED FOR CAMPS

Albert T. Brink and Earl Haines
TRUSTEES who escaped from the peni-
tertiary Friday afternoon, are still at
large. That they have taken to the
hills and are making for the logging
camps is the opinion of Warden Cud-
dy, who had guards out on the hunt
all day Saturday. Men are now in the
hills on a man hunt and fruits of their
efforts are expected within day or
two.
While the men have not been seen
by anyone as far as known their
tracks show they were making for the
hills and efforts to intercept them are
under way by armed guards. Few
prisoners who left the penitentiary
and took the over hill route into the
Boise basin country have made good
their escape. The warden feels that
the liberty of the men will be short.

TAKE HOLIDAY At THE
EXPENSE OF NATION

London, March 2o.-(By MaiD-That
thousands of demobilized soldiers and
sailors are taking a holiday at the
country's expense is the reason adj
vanced by the Labor Ministry for the
huge and ever increasing unemploy-
ment figures.
When the big munition factories
closed, many thousands of war work
ers were turned adrift, to seek re-
employment in their former walks of
life. 1T was recognized that they might
have difficulty in finding jobs all at
once, especially as many Dig concerns
were not yet in full operation. Ac-
cordingly, Premier Lloyd George pro-
Vided for the issue of unemployment
pay to all jobless workers registered at
the government labor exchange at the
rate of 81 a week for men and Sc for
women.
Demobilized soldiers are granted one
months holiday on army pay, but four
years soldering has made 7. Citizen
Atkins an adept at recognizing a soft
job when he sees it. It did not take
him long to discover an excellent way
of continuing his official holiday, on
even more advantageous terms Than
army rates of pay. At the conclusion
VI MS uiOIlll Through, he registers
himself at his local labor exchange
accepts 81 a week, and gaily continues
celebrating as long as his back. pay
and gratuity holds out.
As long as he occasionally "inspects"
n job offered him through the labor
exchange, he is not penalzed if he does
not accept it. He can always find
something about it he does not ike
and he can remain on the country's
payroll for 13 weeks
The last official figures published
show that there were 63,277 demobil-
lied soldiers in receipt of out of work
pay and this number has been in
creased since. The majority of the
men feel that they have earned
holiday, and meantime employers are
unable to find sufficient hands.
