PRESIDENTS MESSAGE,

President Wilson's announcement
 that his message to the extraordinary session of Congress which convenes on May 19 will be composed of few hundred words suppresses hope that he will deal at length with any of the problems with which the country is be- set. It has been presumed that he would reveal his mind on q number of disturbing elements of an industrial, political and social nature. This must await his return to the United States. It is possible the President decided to withhold comment and counsel un- til he could offer them in person and reply to any criticism. To have cabled place him at a disadvantage because it would give the Republican leaders an opportunity to scratch and tear while he, being thousands of miles plete form. It is doubtful whether Congress intends to follow his advice and it is probable that the Republican majority will proceed to execute it's program of reconstruction needless of the Presidents wishes. Much of the Republican schedule is along con- structive lines which will encourage the business men of the nation to go into high speed. When the President does return he will find great change at Washington. The Congress he so \ successfully hypnotized and directed into prosecution of the war accord ing to his views is as dead as Adam and in it's place is a body antagonistic to his opinions and anxious to express its hostility. The fact that recommen- dation or plan has the approval of Woodrow Wilson will be sufficient to start in motion the single track line to the waste basket.
 According to a Washington dispatch to the New York World today, Presi- dent Wilson has expelled from his mind all thought of seeking re-elec- ton. It is claimed that he made known his decision on this point dur ing a conference at the White House after his first journey to Paris but asked that his confdants keep the in formation secret as he desired the en- tire strength of the Democratic party devoted to the peace problem without political side issues. He is expected to announce his decision after the League of Nations has been ratified by the Senate.
 The World dispatch says: If the Republican majority in Congress thinks there is political capital in baking the League of Nations, they will be inviting Woodrow Wilson to stay in the fight. If he has to go to
 the people over the heads of Congress
 he may be forced to accept the issue
 even if it involves his championing g the idea of the league through the campaign of 1921"

Baron Burn ham of the London Daily Telegraph is made a viscount.
 These are distinctive honors without profit. They add nothinG to any mans rent roll.

Many with a transient interest in
the recent clash between the man
ayers and the players have wondered
if the equitable adjustment of the
difficulty, which gave SO much COM
fort to both sides. Is likely to affect
the Sunday performance, which has
become as common as 1.-THE war work
er" in Washington. II the musical
play, for instance. should have a fall
down" Sunday night. perhaps the
management, who must pay for extra
performances. might conserve it's
funds by calling Off the midweek
matinee. The question. doubtless.
will arise between the Sunday show.
not overpopular. but which has been
forced into existence by high over
head charges" and the midweek show.
because Saturday. with its half-holi-
day for some. is scarcely likely to be
eliminated from the matinee program.
OF course. II the show goes big"
Sunday, the problem is solved. The
extra pay for the midweek matinee
would be an easy solution. Maybe
the managers do not reason this way.
but those who would like to see the
Sunday show disappear are much in
terested in the outcome.

Sir Arthur Written Brown.

Sir Arthur Written Brown, the na.-
igator, who, last June, with Capt.
Alcock. flew from the American to the
Irish coast in sixteen hours and
twelve minutes. will relate the story
of this astounding feat at the Shu-
bert -Belasco tonight. Capt. Brown, in
1914, enlisted in the University and
Public School Corps, later he was
comm issioned in the Manchester Reg
iment. serving with the I'd Battalion
in France in 1915. Transferred to the
Royal Flying Corps, he was wounded
and taken prisoner. After being in
termed in Switzerland he was repa-
triated in December, 1917.
With other things. the achieve
ment of this transatlantic flight set a
new worlds distance record for a
heavier than air machine, a machine
which could not alight upon the wa
ter.
Alcock and Brown were knighted by
King George last June. the announce
ment of this honor being made by
Right Hon. Winston Churchill at the
same time that he presented them
with Lord Northcliffe's Daily Mail
prize of $4,000, offered in 1913 for
the first nonstop Unaided flight
across the Atlantic.
