BsVerIdgs On Boundaries

Ex-senator Albert J. Beveridge, Of
Indiana in his recent address before
the Pennsylvania Bar Association at
Bedford, Pa, placed before the country
in logical order the questions arising
from the graves, question except one
ever raised in the history Of the
Republic" the peace treaty. In
speaking on the much discussed Sec
tion 10 Of the league covenant, which
forms the major part oi the treaty, Mr..
Beveridge said.
Section 10 Of the covenant would
bind US 10 60 10 war 10 defend from
external aggression new territorial
boundaries fixed up by the big four,
as we'll as old boundaries recognized
BY that body, and to support the
political independence Of the powers
governing those territories. II this is
not the true purport Of that section,
what is the real meaning Of ili But
our Constitution gives Congress the
exclusive power 10 declare war.
''As member oi the sUperstate,
which would govern US, section 10 oil
the covenant or the war power Of our
Constitution Both can no, stand;
they are absolutely iueconcilable. By
the covenant we would be pledged to
make war whether we wish TO do so or
not. II Congress, should refuse, would
we not break our treaty. And would
not this invite retaliation Would it
not, as the very least and certain
result, bring upon Us the hatred Of the

distrust Of all other na,ionsi

any aspect is not child's play.
Watching it from behind the scenes.
one soon learns that there is large
body of speeialties, never seen BY
the public, to whom it is the hardest
kind of hard driving. ,ncessant
work. 1t is bad enough WREN
company like the Chicago Opera as
sociation is in city for continuous
engagement 1t is worse when the
organization picks up and moves to
another place.
Heavier Than Circus.
Ask Harry Beatty, the genial
giant in, charge of the stage force OF
the company's stage crew. He will,
if he happens to have the time. tell
YOU that moving a circus from town
10 town is a small thing in compar
son. For years the circus train has
been the. worlds standard, the last
word in efficiency in the matter OF
moving.
According to Mr.. Beatty, cir
Gus is not so much. The men IL
charge may be estimable citizens
and they probably are gifted
amateurs, but they would soon learn
that they were taking a postgraduate
course in their own profession il
they were with an opera compan'
for season or so.

sistence coils and switchboards. Spe-
rial crates hold the incandescent
lights, 1000 60-watt lights and 100
l,0O0.watt lights. The old fashion,
ed are lamps are entirely eliminated.
The ten bunch lights carry 1000
watts, and the four spot lighta $500
watts each.
The back drops or full-sized
scene used in the Auditorium are 68
;eet wide and 40 feet high. This
means 2,720 square feet of painted
ind hreproofed surface for each.
The company carries AZ such, to-
tai of 227,840 square feet. Some
thing over 200 set pieces of 156
square feet each adds to the burden.
The properties, or stage furnish
ings, run to such numbers that the
services of II men are necessary to
handle them.
Constant Repair Work.
Stage equipment is fragile, easily
broken, soon defaced. The COM
pany is obliged to maintain a plant
in Chicago in operation the year
around for the repair Of old and
the manufacture of new material
A visitor to the various workshops
will find rs employees making cos
tunes, five who do nothing but
make armor, ten in the electrical de-
partment, like number in the prop
erty department, II artists--and
they are real artists-who construct
and paint scenery; Is in the carpen-
ter department.
Merely for the setting up and per-
formance of an opera 100 men are
necessary behind the scenes. and
this does not count the stage man
ager and his three assistants, three
assistant conductors, the ballet mas
ter, the chorusmaster, the wig
maker and his four assistants, the
two wardrobe women and the eight
dressers. These are merely con-
cerned with the singers, the artists
who appear in the focus of the
lights and receive all the applause.
The 100 are the stage crew, the elec-
tricians, the gripmen, the hymen,
the property men and all the rest.
Often Miss Meals.
They work themselves and their
associates numerically, for, once
fallen behind, it is twice as hard to
catch up. 1t is no unusual thing for
the force to work 48 hours on end
without rest or sleep, merely CATCH
ing an occasional hasty bite of food
as it is brought to them on the
stage. Once on unloading crew in
the railroad yards in Chicago did
not have their clothes off for II
hours. But" said one of them
apologetically, "it was during a big
blizzard, and the storm slowed up
the work little" Sometimes they
get little "jumpy" in the nerves,
but-they get the work done.
That is why Harry Beatty thinks
circus men are amateurs.

Lake Shore and the third over the

This does not count a number OF
other principals, who had been leav.

as soon as their last performances
had been sung. During the last
three days the organizations truck
men had picked up 400 personal
trunks in various part of Chicago,
all belonging to members of the
company, and had moved 1900 cos
tune trunks from the wardrobe
warehouse. incidentally the COM
pany owns four fve-story ware
houses, each full of scenery, cos
umes and properties, with total
alue of something like $l,500,000.
An Intense Organization.
1t is interesting to a degree to
Jatch the stage crew take posses
sion of stage IN new town pre-
paratory to performance. The
men come on day or so in advance
of the singers and from the time
they reach the stage until the cur
tain rings up for the performance.
Ill is intense, organized and special
ized industry. No time is wasted in
looking over the equipment of the
stage, for the company carries its
own equipment, not only scenery,
but lights and mechanical, devices
down to the last stage-brace.
1T did not take us long to find
out says Mr.. Betty, that very few
stages have rope enough to swing
our scenes. So now we always
carry our own rope, 20 coils of 1000
feet eacll-nearly four miles of rope.

With the United States a belligcrent,

consent of the war department to. es-

was anxious to take to France. This
division was to have included many
of the Rough Riders who were his
