TAMPA WOMEN
ORGANIZE TO

TAMPA, Fla.-Fite hundred Tam
pa women have formed the Woman's
Protective league and say they pro-
pose to clean up organized vice by
direct action-that they propose to
undermine its support.
BY the establishment of a sort
of moral credit bureau, this organ
ization proposes to furnish any
woman a confidential report on the
double life" of her husband if she
wants one. The inquirer does not
even need to give her own name in
making the inquiry: she may desig-
nate a postoffice box address or any
place where an agent of the league
may deposit the report on its in.

RICH PRIZES
RECOVERED BY
SALVAGE CORPS

LONDON.-There is spice of
adventure in the salvaging of steam
ers sunk by German raiders. Round
the British Isles, in the Mediter-
ranean and off the Thurman coast
are rich fields for the salvage ser
vice as we'll as private enterprise.
In the North Sea the water is too
deep TO make any considerable sue
cess, but in shallower water not
only cargoes, but ships are being
saved.
, Some Of the sunken vessels con-
tain huge fortunes in gold or goods
One is known to have carried
100000 in gold The diver sent
down to work on her borrowed the
key to the ships strongbox, but
it is not recorded whether he re-
trieved the gold.
I If the divers after an investiga-
ton decide 10 attempt to float the
ship, barges are moored over her
at low tide Nine-inch wire ropes
are then passed under it and fast
ened to the barges above. AS the
tide rises, the barges rise with it,
bringing the ship along. as it lies
in the great wire cradle. The dam
aged ship is then towed into shallow
water and the necessary repairs
made.
:, In the case of vessels only partly
submerged, compressed air is some
times pumped into her hold, driving
out the water, while the ship slowly
floats to the surface: Occasionally
it is necessary, where the hole is
not too large, to make a great
patch, float it over the hole, and
then fasten il sufficiently tight II
position until the ship can be pump.
ed out and floated.
! One vessel was torpedoed in the
Channel, but almost reached the
shore before it went down. When
il finally sank it was exposed a.
low tide, and no so very far from,
a railroad Heavy locomotives pull
ed the vessel into a perpendicular
position and the vessel finally re-
floated.
While these salvage operations
have been remuneratively success
ful, leaders in the industry declare
that il is next TO impossible TO save
ship lying in water deeper than
her masrs. and that very many ships
will never be brought W Bu,
they do not despair as TO the
cargo if the ship lies in less than
200 feet Of water. Divers can
operate with comparative ease q:
that depth.
Many sailors recently demoba-
lied have cast their lot with the
government salvage corps or with
some one Of the private corpora
tons which have taken up the
work. The pay is good, while there
is always an element OF danger.

good last act Ia almost unknown

piece OF work.
There is not single cake OF thin
ice In the piece. This is not set down
~ matter OF praise or blame, but
simply as news. However, lie Baron
cisplays ample aptitude for humorous
lines even If he doesn't skate. The
play Is trifle too talky, but most of
the talk ia excellently light and
pointed. Occasionally there Is re-
course to- the well. III be damned
expediens, but the best of the dialogue
IS fresh and sparkling. In fact the
fun ot the piece rests rather more on
dialogue than upon plot. And as an
additional distinction it might be Noted
that the play IS chemically pure Of
epigrams.

upon to act the part of a gentleman

capital performance is that Of Gilbert

DIR. Macleod Hears
Missing Soldier
Son Is in Paris
Boy Disappeared Last June
When His Company Left
Camp Merritt; Memory
Is Said to Have Failed

The Rev. DR.. Malcolm James Mac
Leod, pastor Of the Collegiate Church
of St. Nicholas. Fifth Avenue and
Forty-eighth Street, has cabled to
France for confirmation of reports that
his missing nineteen-year-old son,
Private Henry Blakely Macleod, has
been found. The boy disappeared on
June 27 last from Company NJ, 49th
Infantry, when that unit went from
Camp Merritt to Camp Upton.
DR.. Macleod first received tidines
of his son last week when Major Her
rick, of the Provost Marshal's Office
in Paris, cabled that the boy had been
identified by photographs as one OF
the soldiers about Paris. Dr. Macleod
then cabled to woman Of his con-
gregation. who happened to be in Paris,
to visit the soldier and identify him.
She never had seen Henry Macleod,
but after an interview with the soldier
she cabled to New York that she was
certain he was the boy. She said he
had lost his memory.
Wishing further confirmation, Dr..
Macleod sent another cable to friend
in France who knew the boy when he
was in New York. No reply has yet
been received.

Opera
Tcatro Espanol Makes Its Sec.
ond Production at the
Park Theatre

The Teatro Espafol made its sscona
production last night at Park Theatre
when it presented Amadeo yives's
farce in one act and three scenes,
Los bohemios." The music Of Sefor
Wives, though as a rule having in IL
little OF truly Spanish character. and
often barking back as far as Donj-
zetti and Bellini, was always melodtous
and possessed one chorus which
had something which was neither
OF Italy nor OF France, and which
might very we'll determine the pouu-
larity Of any opera.
Unfortunately, neither the orchestra
nor the singers was fitted to brjny
out the full beauty Of the score.
though several of them were capahle
performers, notably Isabel Maruueti
Miguel Pros, and the unnamed barv-
tone who led the above mentioned
chorus.
The story Of the opera had to do
with two bohemians whose opera is
saved when the regular prima donna
falls i'll by the intervention of a younp
girl who has learned the part secretly
ic is very waif IN its telling, and its
construction belongs generally to the
ante-paieozoic period. Yet, despite the
drawbacks of the libretto and of a uor-
tlon of the performance, the little
work carried manifest pleasure to the
audience, which applauded with true
lberian fervor Senior Wives is evi-
IDENTIFY composer of a certain force.
whose music, welded to human
hbretto, ought to prove popular far be-
yond the confines of Spain.
The chorus in the second scene last
night was alone worth q journey to the
theatre. AS during last week, the Ear
zuela was followed by review which
possessed color and spirit and which
was abundantly enjoyed. G.. V.

order from the War Department for
bidding soldiers to publish and sell

The War Departments order was
prompted by q series of complaints

virtually amounted to "panhandling.

There was never any specific charge

Drama
Il Love YOU" at Booth Thea.
tire, Is an Amusing
Farce
BY Haywood Broun

Two points should be set down at the
outset In favor of William LIE Baron.
whose play, ri Love You" was pro-
duced at the Booth Theatre last night.
Mr.. LIE Baron has written a thorough
" amusing farce, and he has done it
without the aid Of a bed, a pink silk
stocking or pair Of pajamas. His
formula is new.
The play concerns the failure Of
young mans scheme to direct love hv
preparing a proper environment. In
fact, the young man makes a wager
that he can bring about an engage
ment between any pair stipulated by
his adversary, merely by proper COM
bination of lights, moon, soft music
ana flowers. This seems plausible
enough. Ever so many popular novel
same belief
Fortunately for the humorous COM
pllcations of the play, the formula does
not work at all. At least it does not
work according to the plans Of the
nero. Practically everybody becomes
engaged except the two against whom
the plan has been directed. At anv
rate, they do not become engaged to
each other. The failure of the plan
IS little too complete to be alto
gether satisfactory, even for a farce
plot. Perfect things are not quite
plausible, not even perfect failures. Al
though the formula employed by Le
Baron is ingenious, too much stress is
placed upon it. There are limits to
which complication may be put even
II new combinations of characters are
constantly introduced.
This fault is not felt to any great
extent IN the first two acts, but there
is a distinct let down in the last act,
Ihis should not be held very severely
against lie Baron, because farce with

from Italy with glowing accounts OF
the warm feeling Of her fellow coun-
trymen toward the American people.
Il cannot tel you how enthusiastic
the Italians are about everything
American. President Wilson's picture
adorned their wayside shrines In
every store there was a bust of him.
1t was nothing short of idoatry," said
MISS Frugone to The Tribune yester-
day.
Most of Miss Frugone's work was
done through the Department of Pub
lie Education and Hygiene, which es-
tablished training schools for nurses
and helped to fight the dread disease
which has made rapid strides in Italy
IN the last year or two as q result
of malnutrition.
No one here realizes how much the
Italians have suffered for lack of food
according to Miss Frugone. Horse
flesh was common fare and beef was
almost unknown. Turkey was S1.30 a
pound, and eggs 20 cents apiece. There
was no butter, no sugar and very little
milk Even now conditions are bad,
and the people are debilitated as g
result of their privations.
