POLLY OF THE CIRCUS GIVEN
Address by. DR.. T. E. Green Feature
of Chautaugua Tonight

Polly paid us visit last night.
Pclly, the Parson, Toby, the circus
clown, Big Bill the Snowman and all
Imagine a vacant lot, then big tent
erected thereon with seating capacity
for twelve e-hundred people, a stage,
curtain, scenery, every equipment,
Just Eke regular theatre-anl a
regular play, Polly of The Circus" ;"
This was the Chsutauqua offering
FIR last night and the production was
complete success. There are nine
characters required in the play and
they were all excellently cast, each
one interpreting his or her part in a
finished manner.
Judging from the attendance al
'bc III matinee and night performanc
so far, it locks very much as if Chau-
tauqua had imbedded itself in the
hearts of the Alexandria people and
that Chautauqua would be an annual
happening in this city hereafter.
1t is certainly to be hoped SO for
during it's stay In the. city almost
every minute is consumed by the
Chautauquan trained alta ohos in Of
fering music, entertainment and,
educational instruction to young and
old. Each morning at nine o'clock
the children of the city up to the age
of fourteen assemble ait the big,
rocmy tent and under the direction
of Miss Watt, who acts as ''City
Manager" an election was held and
"a Mayor, City Council and other
civic officers elected, the ,'aisles be-
Ing the. streets and the chairs ar
r+srged to. represent the thouses.
Beside this there are games for the
girls exclusively, games for the
boys and games for. girls and boys
together Then for the older folks
and children too-lectures, plays
and concerts, and everything con-
Quoted on the highest moral plans,
so that there is not the least fear
of man, woman or child meeting
antyhing but these of the highest
and purest standard at Chabtauqua.
We are glad it came and hope it has
come to stay. The entire manage
merit US under the very able super
intendency of DR.. i. A. Downey who
knows his work thoroughly and
proves it at all times and by his
good generalship the contract for
the coming of Chsutauqua next year
already has been signed by quite a
number of leading citizens, patriotic
10 the uplifting influences of our
city and by tonight there is no
doubt but that the full quota OF
fifty guarantors will have been Sc
cured. This afternoon and tonight
the 1919 Revue Company will give
excellent musical programs. An
other of the fine, instructive lectures
by DR.. Downey will constitute a
part of this afternoon program and
"a lecture, a rare treat, "The Salt OF
the Earth" will be presented to-
night by DR.. Thomas E. Green.

Washington, July 15.-Charactc"iz-

''The great causes of war;" he said
"may be paraphrased in two words.
National selfishness.' Until the civil
zation OF the world is prepared to de-
throne it's own rights of other peoples
the inhcrents causes cf war must
continue to exist.
81 am not prepared to say that the
adoption Of the present treaty carries
within itself the elimination Of these
causes of war, or that in the end there
will be no more wars, but | do say
that, within the folGs of this treaty.
we find an agreement between the
great nations of the woru that prcb-
ably will in the future carry thr
questions of national dispute to {
court of final arbitration and in many
# not in most Instances, avoid th-
horrors ard injustices of war"
