ARMY UNITS TO
KEEP IDENTITY
FOR WAR HONOR

Washington, April 2.-Reeent
events in Hungary, General March
announced today, have resulted in
no change in the military policy OF
the United States, so far as the war
department has been advised. Re
turn of troops from France is pro
ceeding even faster than scheduled
originally, he said and nothing had
occurred to interfere with this move
ment.
Retention of the names of four
teen national guard and national
army divisions with brilliant war
records in the permanent military
establishment in order to preserve
their traditions, was announced to,
day by General March.
First to Camp Pike.
For this purpose in the 21 divi.
sions proposed to be organized in
the new army, ID will receive the
following designations:
Twenty-sixth to be based on Camp
Devens; 9th Camp Upton, N. VI;
2Sth Camp Dix, N j.; 29th Camp
Meade, Md; Both Camp Jackson, S
c.; 32nd, Camp Custer, Mich; 33rd,
Camp Grant, H.; 36th, Camp Travis,
Texas; 37th, Camp Sherman, Ohio;

Va; 4th, Camp Kearney, Cal; 9Th,
Panama Canal Zone; 9th Homo
lulu; 7th, divided between the Phil
ippines Alaska and Mexican bor-
der.
Rainbow to Cavalry.
The 42nd (Rainbow) division will
be the cavalry division in the new
organization. 1t will be organized in
the southern department and its men
will be drawn from all the states,
maintaining in this respect the all
American character which was OBJ
tanned in the original organization.
The first to seventh divisions will
retain the designations of the sew
enth regular divisions now in France
comprising the first and second
army corps.
In each case where a division has
been given the designation OF ma
tional guard and nationa! army di-
vision. it will lbe recruited from the
district surrounding the camp named
as it's base and from which the
original division of that designation
was drawn.

entirely on future legislation.
Eager to Go Overseas.
The decision to raise a special for

force of 10000 men, General March
said today, was based on the dis

For two consecutive seasons the

one OF the main promoters Of the Irish
Theatre of America, which had trial
season at the late Bandbox Theatre in
this city. 1t was during this season
that Mr.. Kane gave to the stage one of
the most graphic pictures Of his
career in Rutherford Mayne's Irish
tragedy entitled cred Turf" 1t was
the plan of the Irish Theatre to con-
tinuously present new plays, plan
which may be resumed at later date.
During its interruption by the war Mr..
Kane once more turned his attention
to writing, with Ozark Rosaleen" as
the result. In his work upon this
quaint comedy of Irish life now on
view in the Belasco Theatre he was
assisted by W. D. Hepenstall, also a
son of Erin and journalist in his
native country.

William LIE Baron

as low as the manager thinks e. ia
neither is it as high as the little thea
tire people believe.
Gut of theatrical experience that
covers the production of several vaude-
vlile sketches, musical comedy and
three plays LIE Baron has come to a
practical appraisal of the quality of
American thinking
He found, for instance, that the
Americans boasted sense of humor il
something that he does not bring to
the theatre. He comes with an over
whe Ginning predisposition toward senti
mentality or to humor Of a very robust
and obvious sort. Outside of New York
lies vast America, which takes hu-
man relationships on the stage with
an intense sentimentality. "Everv

that plays like Justice" "Hindle
Wakes" and "The New York Idea" nerish
on their third stop out. Shaw can survive
as tar as Chicago, but that is because
Shaw is so we'll advertised. LIE Baron's
satlric treatment of parenthood in The

offended silence, though bedroom

His last play, ri Love YOU" returned
from the road tryout with manv
changes. One of the things they dis
covered was that democratic Ameri

idea Of the young electrician hero's
marriage to an heiress, even though
one of the satiric points Of the plav is
That the butler and the walking dele
gate electrician are both much more
intelligent than the rich oilers of the
play. The electrician had to marry the
maid! And the butler had to prove that
ne was really rich man in disguise
before he could marry into the upper
classes! OF course, in sentimental
play this situation would have been
welcomed. But the air of comedy is
too much like that of life for such
heresies to be countenanced
There is nothing crassly opportun-
lstic about making these concessions,

By Rebecca Drucker

BY not lettingathe blighting "literary
touch" appear on his plays, William
LIE Baron cleverly DISCUSSES the fact
that they are derived from first class
modern thinking. Of course, as soon
as this becomes positively known his
career as popular American play-
wright will autoha tically come to an
end. A suspicion that he is insidi-
ously forcing ideas on an unsuspect-
ing public was felt when he produced
his first farce, "The Very Idea" and
grows more acute with the appearance
OF his latest pay, ~ Love YOU" which
has settled down for run at the Booth
Theatre. How long does Mr.. lie Baron
think he can firt with disaster?
Just SO long, answers Mr.. LIE Baron.
as you can work ideas, if you are adj
dicted to them, into farces that de-
ceptively give the air of taking peoples
minds off thinking. Now this is the very
definition of satire, but for a young
playwright to proclaim himself a satir
list would be to court humiliation. The
highbrows would at once compare him
to G. B. S. and snub him-and the
others would look at him with dark
hostility. Satire is one of the articles
that this country imports when it
wants it-from the French, the Spanish
or the Irish. The homemade article
is in very low repute.
LIE Baron has a very natural de-
sire not to be snubbed or anathema-
tiled. He wants to circulate through
as effective medium as possible, and
this he insists is the commercial thea
ire. One Of the damaging things Mr..
Lie Baron admitted in the course of
the interview was that he is one of
those who support little theatre move
ments, but he does not want to be
hanished to them. He conforms to the
limitations Of the commercial theatre
out of a conviction that fundamentally
il expresses our grade of civilization.
And in claiming this he does not MIN
imize the eXasperating timidities of q
commercial manager. But if the intel
ligence of the American public Is not

understands the point Of view of
the little theatre Brahmins who
believe that little lump Of virtue will

that only by trafhcking in the market
place can the standard Of production
De changed. The concession need in
volve no surrender to banality-indeed,
IN small doses even managers can be
made to succumb to fresh ideas. The
encounter between playwright and au-
dlence Is merely one in which the for
mer is intelligent enough to admit the
prejudices of the latter. This may be
business psychology, the monochrome
ing ones will cry, but not the spiritwhich
produces an art. But, retorts lie Baron,
the theatre in this country is bust
ness, not an art. And that it is so is
no fault of the playwright's, or even the
maligned manager's-but that of the
general level of education which per-
mits it to be so.

Whittord Kane,
Il Figure in the
Intellectual Theatre

The name of Whitford Kane, co-au-
thor with w. D. Hepenstall of Ozark
Rosaleen," has double significance in
the theatres. While closely identified
with a group of Irish intellectuals and
with the Irish literary renaissance, Mr..
Kane is equally we'll known in this
and his own country as an actor.
Born in Ireland some thirty-fve years
ago, he began long professional ca
reer when a youth playing Maltby in
"The Ticket of Leave Man" in the
Royal Theatre, Belfast, and then ac-
quired an excellent experience in
classic repertory with Mrs. Bandman
Palmer and William Mollison, after
which excellent discipline Mr. Kane
began his association with more mod
ern drama, playing Jackey in "Sunday"
with Louis Calvert.
Mr.. Kane's association with the late
Charles Frohman began Immediately
after his engagement with Calvert,
when he Joined Mr.. Frohman's roper
Theatre. This was followed by a
most brilliant. repertory engage
ment at the Gaicty Theatre in Man
chester, where he scored a tremendous
personal triumph in his characterize
tion of the Counsel for the Defence in
Galsworthy's "Justice,' a role which
he subsequently played in America
during the Chicago engagement of the
play.
Mr.. Kane then became associated
with Miss Horniman's noted company
and played wide range of parts, in
Guiding Cuthbertson in "The Phian-
I derer," Burgess in "Candida" Old Ma
I! lone in "Man and Superman," DR.. Rank
others, which led to his association
with the New RepertQry Theatre Com
pany at Liverpool. But it was not un-
til Mr.. Kane's London appearance in
"The Pigeon" at the Royalty Theatre
that he reached the zenith of his sue
cess as an actor. His portrayal of
Christopher Wellwyn in this play, fol-
lowed by that of Daniel Murray in
Rutherford Maynes "The Drone," we're
