An "AIl Star Cast" of ANA
tours Give a Most Sue
cessful Play

The large audience that filled the
Assembly room of Grace Methodist
church, st Iohnsbury, Friday even
ing certainly got their moneys worth
in the presentation by local talcn Of
the comedy. drama "Bar Haven. inc
cast was well balanced and there was
a finish and touch of professional TO
it all which showed master hand IN
the rchearsals.
The scenes of the three act play
were all on the New England sea
coast with the quaint characters that
were splendidly made up and all OF
whom made decided hit. Rev. II.
j. G. Scott, as the sailor boy in love
with Kate was one of tho stars and
proved a real actor throughout the
whole play. Donald McGrcgor as Cy
Bracket, who was fishing both for
fish and Arabclla, had a typical cos
tune and kept the audience convuls-
cd with his antics. George c. Cowllng
as the old-fashioncd minister had the
typical dress of the Puritan clcryg-
man and all his austcrc manners, his
every appearance was the signal for
laughter and applause. S. ID. At
wood, the old fisherman, was tuc to
his part, c. A. Brodicn, ass the
wealthy rascal, proved Il strong actor
and DR.. Dale S. Atwood as the young
lawyer was not only good detective
hut a successful suitor for the hand
of tho Captains daughter.
The five ladies' in the play were
equal TO thcir parts and contributed
much to the dramas successful pre-
sentation. Miss Tilla Johnson as
Arabclla Wortcndykc had a capital
makeup and greatly pleased young
and Old with her manncrisms. Mrs.
Don G. Stiles as the proud matron OF
"Thc Manor" had most difficult
part that she took with great skill.
Miss Isabel Corrow as tho matron'S
daughter refused to follow III her
mothers footsteps and in the last
net unravellcd many of the threads
of the mystery. Mrs. BESSIE Cum
mings, as the girl who finally came
into her own, had one of the leading
parts and carried it off well. while
Miss Florence Hall, as the Captains
llaugate~s frequently appeared IN the
plav. with some very natural acting.
An orchestra led by Mrs. Jean
Stanley Goodrich furnished excellent
music between the acts and at the
close many went up stairs and pat
ronizcd the tables and booths i'll the
Christmas bazaar.

After seven hours sleep the priests
were back again on duty. "
The speakers recital of the trouble
of FIR. Duffy of New York, chaplain
of the 681h Regiment in which there
were 34O0 Irish youth aroused the
audience to imirth. In order to
make the 34O0 candidates for orderly
to the priest satisfied and dispcll
jealousy he selected a Jew. On one
occasion they were for Is hours in
the front line without food. 1t was
Il Friday morning. In searching fol-
their unit they smelled breakfast
cooking and hurried thther. The
soldiers were having ham for break
fast. "What combination said the
speaker, Friday morning, ham
for breakfast, and a Catholic priest
and his Hebrew orderly without food
for IS hours" The speaker said this
situation was happily met by the
thoughtful attention Of Uncle SAM
who had labelled some excellent sir
loin steak canned salmon"
The speaker teld many instances
of hcroism of the X Of G. ehaplains,
who gave, not only spiritual cohso-
lation TO the soldiers but were their
companjons,. playing basehaI with
them and taking part in all then
sports. 'e
When the German hawks came
tho speaker said, the X. Of c. went
to the chickens instead of watching
the fireworks from the display .ol
airplancs. ..,f',..
In closing Mr.. Chapman spoke OF
the splendid work the X. Of C. mer
had done in Massachusetts in finding
Jobs for tho soldiers. He said that
they had found places for 12,30O ser.
vice men, ono hut on Boston com.

COAST TURNING
AGAINST LEAGUE
Senator Poindexter Says
People Fear Alliance May
Entangle United States.

Sentiment on the Pacific Coast is
rapidly turning away from the league
Of nations. Senator Poindexter. of
Washington. declared yesterday. upon
his return from a speaking tour
which included the principal cities of
IN" West. He says that in the cities
OF Oregon. Washington and Califor-
mia he found the representatives of
! the League TO Enforce Peace in an
angry mood. This indicates. in the
Senator's opinion. that the lea guc
cause is losing ground
There is no question that originally
the Pacific Coast sentiment was
strongly in favor of the league" the
Senator said. This was due in great
measure to the statement made by
President Wilson that the world must
either take the league of nations or
more war. Now they are beginning
to understand that the league Of ma
tions is no guarantee against war.
For that reason they are turning
away from il.
Il found a great many people. also,
who are of the opinion that the United
States should not have assumed entire
responsibility for settling the Italian
problem. They feel that the states
men Of England and France achieved
a diplomatic victory over the United
States by shifting the responsibility ia
this manner.
Il find sentiment in the West very
strong to the effect that the wise
course for our delegation to pursue is
TO follow the lead. counsel and advice
of the great free nations who have
sacrificed so much for liberty in this
war. rather than undertake through
our control Of financial and food sup
plies to lead and dictate TO them ia
purely European matters in which We
are not nearly 80 competent to render
judgment as they are.
senator PoindeNter raised new
point hy drawing attention to the pro-
Visions IN Article under which tie
unanimous vote of the league council
would be necessary before any nation
IN In" league could increase her navy
strength.
lie SAID: 1t might become nccoSsaI7
for the United States, for instance
10 increase her armament. II one ma
ton objected. this could not be done
There might arise a great emergency
which would make such Increas,
necessary. but We would he bound
