from stem to stern.
All the ships arriving today were
from three to five days overdue and
to dock before morning The first
Of the big liners to come in to her
dock was the Rotterdam, which put
in last night. She was three days
late and her master, Capt ]. Baron
declared that the trip was the rough
est he had ever made.
His declaration was supported by
Rear Admiral Andrew T. Long, OF
the U. S. Navy, who returned after
escorting the King and Queen of the
Belgians back to their country. Ad
miral Long said that one week ago
when in mid Atlantic, the weather
was so rough that the big liner was
rocked like a cradle. One of the
passengers was thrown to the deck
! and suffered a broken leg. On board
| the ship were five stowaways, who
were scared from their hiding place:

GU1SE, France, Dec. % (By The AS
soclated Press) Among the indus
tries Of France which are raising their
heads above the wreckage of war is the
soclallzed factory in this communistic
colony given by the multi Millionaire
Godin to his employees at his death
several years ago.
The story of the assumption of own
ershp by the workers was told to-day
to the correspondent in his travels
through the war-torn districts Of
France by special direction of the
French authorities.
Twenty-one hundred persons were
employed in the factory before the
war, and active plans are on foot by
their representatives to rebuild the
structures embraced in the plant, which
Socialists contend has exempifed a
solution of the problem between capital
and labor.
When Godin died the establishment
sent into the hands of his employees.
The passage of a state law, enacted
later, has enabled q worker after q
period of probation to buy stock in
the concern, but not to sell it. How
ever, he possesses virtually every
other right Of common stock owners.

afford sufficient income to maintain

Mile. Condre Makes Debut
First Appearance in America
Creditable to Singer

The innate spirit of French gayety,
which not even war wholly can de-
stroy, was brought to New York yes
terday afternoon in the person of Mile.
Mona Gondre. who made her first ap-
pearance in America at the Princess
Theater An actress before the war,
Mile. Gondre kept her countrymen
amused in the trenches, and much Of
her experience as an entertainer was
gained at the front.
Yesterday she sang several chansons
already made known to American audi
ences by Yvettc Guibert, such as EN-
passant par la Lorraine" LES Bellies
Manieres" and "Le Joli Tambour," but
she stamped them with the originality
OF her own vivacions person. She also
gave number of recitations in a de-
.ightfully animated manner.
Jean Verd, formerly accompanist for
Nine. Povla Frisch. accompanied her in
the chnnsons, and himself played three
OF Debussy's piano pieces, "Gradus ad
Pcrnassum y "Clair de Lune" and MIN
strels," and others by Schmitt and
Nhene Baton.

Art Society Asks
For Assistance in
Courthouse Fight
Call Sent to Many Civic Or
CARNATIONS to Protest
Against Refusal to Sub
init Plans to Commission

Tho Municipal Art Society Of New
York has sent out an emergency call
to all civic and art societies in. the
city to protest against the refusal of
the Board of Estimate and the Court
House Board to submit the plans for
the new hexagonal courthouse to the
Art Commission of New York. The
commission, under the city charter.
receives jurisdiction to consider and
pass upon the plans Of all public build
ings erected by the city.
A joker in the bill passed at the
last session of the Legislature abol-
ished the jurisdiction of the Art Com
mission over the location and design
Cor the proposed courthouse.
In letter addressed to art and civic
societies, which was headed. "This is
an emergency CALL" the Municipat Art
Society says:
"The Municipal Art Society greatly
regrets that the standing policy of
the city with respect to the submis-
sion of public building plans to the
Art Commission should be reversed in
this important instance. 1t is too late
to change the 1919 legislation which
effected. or IS claimed to effect, this
result. but it requests the art and
civic societies of the city to join with
it in an emphatic request to the Board
of Estimate that, Notwithstanding the
act of 1919. the courthouse plans be
submitted to the Art Commission, to
ha hot hOl ,al ~,
the charter be recognized and
strengthened rather than weakened,
and that the prestige of the Art Com
mission be increased and it's valuable
work for the city be recognized rather
than ignored; also to the end that the
plans themselves may receive expert
and independent criticism and sugges-
ton.
''In view of the admirable plans orig
i.ally made by Mr.. Lowell and his
high standing as an architect, we have
little fear that the present plans will
not be found to be entirely deserving
of the approval of the Art Commits
sion. Nevertheless, it would be highly
undesirable for future projects to be
framed upon the basis of the elimi-
nation of the Art Commission. The
Art Commission deserves and has the
respect of our citizens. 1t has saved
the city from many egregious blum
ders and has also saved the city hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. 1t is
entitled to our active support. Even
if we do not wholly succeed in the
present case our protest may not be
without effect"
The society asks all interested to
appear at the meeting of the Board of
Estimate on December go, when it is
proposed to adopt the plans.

Curious Melodrama of Mex.
leo at Standard Theater
Proves To Be a Dull Play
i'm an Artificial Vein
THU CAST
By Haywood Broun

The new play at the Standard Thea
ter Is called "The Whirlwind," but it
left US becalmed. AS a matter of fact,
it seemed to us that there wasn't very
much play. We rather think that the
atmosphere ate it up. However, we are
willing to confess that we left at the
end Of the third act very shortly after
one Of the young men in the cast asked
why do the birds sing? Why do the
flowers lift their faces to the sun ."
That annoyed us a good deal because
we knew perfectly we'll that the young
man was not asking for information,
but merely to show off. Everybody in
this play about Mexico and guitars and
mantillas invariably talked for the sake
Of the pleasing sound of word tinkling
upon word. Mostly they were high
falutin words dragged in by the hair
of the head. Naturally, the words
screamed a protest, but this was gen.
orally drowned out b. the voices of
the actors and the firing Of guns and
wild dance music.
p Mimi Aguglia, who is starred in this
play by George c. Hazelton and Ritter
in better plays, so it is probably un-
fair to judge her to any great extent
on her performance of last night. She
seems to US undeniably crude and arti-
fetal, but it may be that she has great
power. There was flash here and
there last night, but nothing was sus-
tanned. Helen Tracy gave vigorous
performance as an old Spanish woman,
and, of course, Rose Coghlan was ef-
fective, although her part gave her no
great opportunities.
AS to the play itself, we are a little
in doubt as to the story which it told
There was not much action, and yet
the dramatists managed to keep their
plot pretty we'll snarled up. At any
rate, it was play about a Mexican
girl who was part Indian and about
two men who loved her, one a virtuous
American and one a villainous Mexi-
can. At the end of the third act the
Mexican came forward with an old
woman and a child and said that the
little girl was the daughter of the
heroine. The heroine didn't deny it.,
but probably there was q catch some
where. We rather imagine that in the
last act everybody found out that the
could look up into hero's face so reso-
lutely and fearlessly as that heroine
did could be a bad women We had
rather believe that yon snow-capped
peaks are but things of lath and NOR
tar than to accept the Infamous accu-
sation against the honor of Chiquita
But, heavens! there we go in the
manner of The Whirlwnd" Perhaps
it is just as we'll to say nothing more
about the play. Christmas is here or
hereabout, and saan it will be New
Years, and. at any rate what is to be
will Le, and probably a lot ct hard and
honest work was put .nto The Whirl-
wind.' Yes and in addition to all that

.cnt rope tricks in the third act
