FOE WAGES WAR
IN EAST, CLAIM
OF PADEREWISKI
Huns Turn to Achieve
Victory They Lost in
West, He Declares.

Paris, Thursday. Sept 4.-"Ger-
many, defeated on the west, has
turned to the east, where she is
waging a battle with the hope Of
achieving the victory she could not
win on the other fronts" Ignace
Jan Paderewski, Polish premier,
declared today to the Associated
Press, while discussing Polish con-
ditions.
''In Upper Silesia, East Prussia,
Lithuania, along the bolshevik
front in the vicinity OF Minsk and
along the Ukrainian front Polish
armies are forced to face armed
enemies" he continued. where
these enemies are not Germans they
are aided by Germans who are urg-
ing the bolsheviki forward in every
way to embarrass Poland.
Tells of Hun BrutaIities.
"Our new government, with lin
tied supplies and little clothing for
its army, finds the situation des-
perate. Until the German treaty is
ratified we cannot get the foreign
troops necessary to stabilize the
situation. In meantime Polish
workmen are being beaten, abused
and killed by German troops in
Silesia. The Poles are eager to
rush into Silesia to avenge the
wrongs inflicted on our countrymen
and it is difficult to restrain our
people who are stirred daily by
blood curdling stories OF German
atrocities.
Aiding BOlSheTiki.
"In the Baltic states of Russia
the Germans are fomenting disor-
der and assisting the bolsheviki.
On all sides we are forced to face
this new war that Germany is wag-
ing against the allied cause. She
is determined to conquer Russia at
any cost German propagandfsts
are twisting every clash between
our troops and the .bolsheviki into
Jewish pogroms. There is a stud
led effort to ruin our reputation
throughout the world and to pre-
vent US from acquiring the inter
national standing we want. En-
emies are shooting at US from ev-
cry angle.
Can't Stand Strain Much Longer.
We are unable to defend our
selves against these calumnies. We
are too busy shooting at our en-
emies with rifles to fight this un-
derground campaign and must re-
ly on our friends to refute these
ISLANDERS and keep faith in US. We
are fighting the battle of civiliza-
ton against barbarism and against
Prussianism, but our people can
not stand the strain much longer
and must have an opportunity to
work out their governmental prob
lens"

FIND HORSE NOT
DOPED' IN AERIAL
RACE TO TORONTO

Dayton. Ohio, Sept. 5.-Replying
to a query from Washington, the
examining board of McCook avia-
tion field, reported today that the
airplane used by Major r. w.
Schroeder IN the New York-Toronto
air race had not been "doped."
The remarkable speed made by
Major Schroeder in a Voight plane
is believed to have caused the in
vestigation. To have been doped,
plane would have had a higher
powered motor than $50 horse pow
er.
Major Schroeder won the Amer
lean flying club trophy, offered the
Toronto eAtrant making the fastest
one-way trip.

WILSON SEEKS
MEET TO AVOID
STEEL STRIKE
Agrees to Try for Farley
Between Workers and
Company Heads.

Washington, Sept. 5.-PreSi-
dent Wilson has agreed to I'M
dertake to bring about a confer
ence between representatives
of the steel workers and Of
ficials Of the United States
Steel corporation in an effort
to avert a threatened strike.
The president was asked in a
telegram sent him today by Samuel
Gompers, president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, and the
committee of steel men, to say
whether a conference could be ar
ranged before next Tuesday, when
the presidents of the "a information
al unions in the steel industry will
meet here to take such action as
they might deem necessary.
Message to Wilson.
The telegram to the president
follows:
"The executive committee
representing the various inter
national unions in the iron and
steel industry met today to
consider the awful situation
which exists in many of the
iron and steel industry centers.
The coercion, the brutality
employed to prevent men end
unions from meeting n halls
engaged, upon private property
in the open air, the thuggery of
the corporations emissaTies,
the wholesale discharge of men
for no other -eason than the
one assigned, that they have
become members of the union,
. have brought about q situation
that is exceedingly difficult TO
withhold or restrain the indig-
nation of the men and the re-
sitsance that they declare it is
their purpose to prevent.
Warn of Dangers.
THE executive committee, re-
lying upon the case, as present
ed to you last week, and your
earnest declaration to endeay-
or to bring about a conference
for the honorable and pea :eful
adjustment of the matters in
controversy, have thus far
been unable to prevail upon the
men not to engage in a general
strike. We cannot now affirm
how much longer We shall be
able to exert that influence,
but we urge you, even in the
great work in which you are
engaged, to give prompt i-tten-
tion to this most vital of is
sues: for if the men cal no
longer be restrained, it is i'm
possible to foretell what the
future may hold in store for an
industrial crisis which may en-
sue and Illustrate the project
which you have worked at for
peaceful and honorable adjust
ment of Industrial affairs III our
country.
Ask Answer Before Tuesday.
"A meeting of all presidents
of the "a international unions
in the steel industry has been
called to take place on Tues
day, Sept. 8, in Washington, d.
c., to take such action as they
may deem necessary. May We
not have your reply on OF be-
fore that time as to whether or
not a conference with the steel
corporation is pOssible?"
Deciding Course of Action.
The national committee for or
ganiZing steel workers continued
it's conference today. The commit
tee is endeavoring to decide a
course of action for union steel
workers following the refusal of
the United States Steel corporation
to hear their committee.
A vote recently taken by the
% union ORGANIZATIONS authorized
their leaders to call a strike.

reservations

tatives of Italian societies and 9TH
ers presented 1taly's claims on

fense of Italy demanded annexa-
tion of this territory.

Whittier to Introduce
Russian Comedies Here

Robert Whittier, directing the Rus
sian Drama Season, who is completing
the details Of the repertory for an
early opening announces the most dar-
ing feature of his project, the intro
duction Of Russian comedy to America.
For years this has been cherished
ambition Of Mr.. Whittier crystallized
during his six years Of rcpertory on
the Continent. He feels that now the
psychological time has arrived for
definitely undertaking the experiment
in this country.
Among the comedies Of the Russian
dramatists that have been scheduled by
Mr.. Whittier ere 1.-THE Cherry Or
chad" and four nc-act iarccs by
Chekhov, "The Inspector General by
Gogol and Jealousy" by Arzybashehi
MIR. Whittier say his project Will
present an entirely different angle OF
The Russian character and tempera-
mcnt. and asserts that some OF the
most subtle humor OF modern drama
comes from Russian pens in spite OF
the popular opinion that the Russian
mind is more inclined toward the
gloomy and morbid.
special feature will be the mel
dental music and orchestratlon, whicf
will be presented by native Russian
artists.

America T. First In Revues.
Says ''EIitchy's'' Producer

Julian Alfred, who has staged
"Hitchy Koo 1919," the Raymond
Hitchcock revue at the Liberty, is the
only American producer who has staged
big musical revues in the four big
capitals Of the. world -London, Paris,
Berlin and New York. Several Ameri-
can producers have staged musical
shows in both London and New York.
In fact, it is quite common thing
for producer to divide his time be-
tween the two English speaking cities.
But Mr. Alfred has produced several
revues in the French capital and also
in Berlin-naturally before the war.
"The musical revue has taken the
place of the oldtime extravaganza"
said Mr.. Alfred recently in discussing
the why and wherefore of the modern
revue. "Musical comedy-a play with
q plot and musc-we have always had
with us and always will. but many
other types OF entertainments change
with the changing years. Just why
theatregoers should prefer the revue
to the Extravaganza is not apparent,
except that the revue is livelier, faster
moving and perhaps more related to
what people are thinking about.
at may be a sad commentary on the
American stage, but it is fact that
the only type Of production in which
we excel is the revue. We lead the
would when it comes to revu's like
.Hitchv Koo,' The Follies' and girl and
music shows OF that type. Nidsical
comedies are better produced in Lon
don than in New York. Operettas are
better done in Berlin or Vienna than
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-10-19

over here Dramas are better staged
in the Art Theatre in Moscow and the
Dcutsches Thea ter in Berlin than any
where else For farces there is no
place like Paris.
But when it comes TO revues, New
York and by New York mean
Americans supreme. 1t is an art that
VIC have developed far beyond the pro
duccrs in London and Paris, and, Of
course, Berlin.
Take this new 'Hitchy Koo,' for in
stance Il is on more pretentious
scale than anything that has ever been
produced abroad. European managers
do not spend money on their prodnc
tions like their American rivals. This
new revue has cost at least 100000.
One drop-a sinble curtain-cost
SO 500. a European producer would
throw UP his hands in horror at such
expenditures. Here in America the
revue manager makes his production
without regard to expense.
The personnel is in excess of 100
people-10S, to be exact. With prlnci-
pals salaries ranging rom $40 10 500
a week. exclusive OF the star's-and
sixty chorus girls whose minimum sal
arv is $40, it will be seen that the pay
roll is enormous. Only in America
can such extravagant entertainments
be undertaken. For in Paris and Ber-
lin there is no road territory to get
back the cost OF production. and IN
London the revue has not reached the
stage DEVELOPMENT it has here"
