THE CAST:

One Of the characters in last
nights farce rose to remark that
You see lots of funny things in
Washington" This was quite true
when applied to mo More Blondes" !"
for IL is quite one of the funnic st
farces that has graced a Washington
stage in some moons.
To begin with, the comedy is typi-
cally Truexisn. An inoffensive, new
ly made benedict, who has quarreled
with his wife, a clinging-vine type OF
girl who has got mad at her hubby,
are thrown together in the latter's
home. OF course, both being ignorant
OF the others presence. Here they.
together with others, are held up in
quite a finished manner by the suave
butler, who inti.nates that a trifiing
tip of a thousand dollars will help
him to cultivate a bad memory about
tho nights happenings.
1t has bedroom aspect, but the
actual trappings OF the chambre dc
mutt do not come into actual view,
except that the principals run around
in rather negligee costume. Truck
wore a bathrobe, the like of which
has not been seen since home-mr lie
embroidered Christmas presents were
fashioned by fond spinster aunts.
Truck is just Truck every minute,
which is good and sufficient praise.
II is Just the kind of a part that he
"eats up" and IL anything. he is bet
ter than in some OF his previous ver-
sions of Overnight"

II you enjoy a truly funny play,

Showing the sustained interest OF
the more Intellectual section of the
public an almost capacity house wit
messed Mr.. Mantelrs Lear" and here
and there were noted those critical
folk who delight to follow the action
on the stage with their own private
edition Of the classic masterpiece.
Mr.. Mantell's Lear" is quite close
to his best In the throne room he
is aged, but still strong in voice and
gesture. The inroads of cruel in
gratitude make of him q senile old
man, pitiful in his weakness of body
and mind.
Throughout the action Mr.. Mantell
maintains a pleasing evenness OF die
tion and a faithful exposition of tho
especially good last night when he
met Kent on the heath, Offering a
striking contrast between his present
weakness and his former strength.
Lear" places the burden upon Mr..
Mantelfs shoulders, and they are
broad enough, but supporting char
acters are also splendidly portrayed
by Fritz Leiber, as Edgar: Miss GEN
evieve Hamper, as Cordelia: Guy
Lindsey, as the Fool, and John Alex

To those preferrins a lack of ac-
cessories rather than a plethora, Mr.
ManteIIs offering is especially de-
lightful. There Is no hasty distribu-
tion of furniture about the stage, TAX
ing from the mind all necessity of
imagining. The settings are sufYi-
cient. but they are not over-done.

ENGLISH IS COMMON TONGUE.
Chinese Girls Learn Il to Talk to One
Another.

Chinese women students in the Tung
Flu College, Picking, China, are obliged
TO learn English In order 10 talk with
one another because OF the different
dialects used by the student body.
Girls from the extreme western
provinces of China, who attend the
school, must remain in Picking during
all Of the eight years required for
their high school and college train
ing, because 10 return each summer
would require sN weeks for the trip
one way and would cos. more than a
trip to America and return.
Girls from each OF the western
provinces speak a different language
and they cannot understand one an
other any more than they can the girls
from northern, southern, eastern or
central provinces. Hence, they have
adopted English as common tongue.

not far distant from the National

Shanghai nor far from the local Y. w.

"mow," which means approximately
six acres, and are divided by a private
road. A foreign residence already on
the grounds will be used by the Amerl-
can teachers, while native buildings on
the other side will furnish living quar-
tiers aud classrooms for the 35 stu
dents
The grounds boast a garden, tennis
courts and an athletic field.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels spent
several days with the senate commit
tee that is investigating Admiral Sims
charges against the navy department.
In the course of his testimony he re-
vealed the secret Instructions given
naval officers by President Wilson
when they started for European wa
tiers. These were to the effect that they
must maintain the American tradition
OF audacity "to the utmost point Of
risk and daring" and he added that
the British had been too cautious to
make full use of their naval supremacy
against the Germans. This latter point
was emphasized In confidential ca
blegram from the president TO Sims,
which the secretary read. Mr.. Dan
ies contradicted many Of the asser-
lions made by the admiral, and said
the latter asplred TO become a member
OF the British admiralty and put his
personal ambition before his duty to
his country, his superiors and his as
soclates.

Not only Kiev, but also Odessa, the
Black sea port, fell into the possession
Of the Poles and Ukrainians who are
fighting to free the Ukraine from the
Russian bolsheviki. The latter, how
ever, have organized strong lines of
resistance east of Kiev and assert that
they expect the war with Poland to
continue for years. 1t is understood
that the convention signed by Poland
and Ukrainia just before the present
drive opened provides for Polish out
let to the Black sea, which has been
one of Poland's national ambitions for
centuries. Poland agrees to give
Ukrainla military support for ten
years. Recent dispatches indicate that
ROumanla is seeking an alliance with
Poland against Russia. Europe was
puzzled by the silence. throughout the
week, of the soviet wireless station at
Moscow, and there were conjectures
that the cooperative societies might
have engineered rising against the
bolsheviki.

Mr.. Wilson's Oregon letter was
taken by some as a covert attack on
Senator Chamberlain, who is a candi-
date for reelection, and il reused SEN
atOr Thomas of Colorado, a Democratic
insurgent. to vigorous protest in the
senate. He paid warm tribute to
Chamberlain and then issued this sol
emn warning:
IF the Democratic party in its con-
vention at San Francisco next month
declares for unconditional ratification
of this treaty, it will do so because ii
has determined that il does not care to
live any longer and accepts that means
for certain dissolution"
This incident occurred during debate
on the Knox peace resolution, which
was to be voted on within few days
Senator Hitchcock made a prepared
speech against the measure in which
he denounced it as futile, inconsistent
and inimical TO the treaty of Versailles.
Denying that congress has power TO
make peace, he admitted the truth of
knOX's argument that the war actually
is AT an end. and asked:
"Then why this resolution? Hostill-
ties ceased IS months ago, our army
promptly was demobilized and reduced
To a peace basis. Since that time COM
merce has been resumed. We have
sold hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of products to Germany and pur-
chased much from her.
THE war which the senator from
Pennsylvania proposes to end by this
resolution does not, by his own admis-
sion, exist. His able argument and
historical citations prove that it ended
many months ago. What, then, is the
senator from Pennsylvania attempting
TO do by this measure, which he calls a
resolution to terminate the war? He is
making an utterly futile and hopeless
attempt 10 make a peace settlement
with Germany to take the place of the
Versailles treaty"
Senator McCumber, Republican, of
North Dakota, also attacked the reso-
luton, asserting that it means not only
deserving our allies, but also deserving
and condemning our cause. He de
clared, also, that the war has not been
won, and that through the presidents
Influence and pressure the German
armies were saved from utter annihila-
ton or unconditional surrender"

While on the subject of politics, 1t Is
necessary to Yoke some mention of the
doings Of the Socialist convention in
New York. 1t wound up by nominating
Eugene V. Debs for the presidency
which has grown into a habit-despite
the fact that Mr.. Debs is serving time
for violating the espionage act. In its
earlier sessions the convention fought
over the radical declaration of princi-
Piles submitted by the Illinois delega-
ton, providing for the dictatorship of
the proletariat" and limitation of citi-
zenship. Morris Hillquit and his "con-
sentative" followers beat this plan by
a large majority. The same faction
compelled the eradication of an Of
fensive reference to churches from the
party platform.

The vets I'm the ranks OF the Demo
cratic party have been counting noses
and assert they will have enough dele
gate votes in the San Francisco con-
yention to force the adoption Of
plank embodying their views Of pro-
hibition. This may be true, but there
is no doubt that the leaders of both
parties will use every endeavor to have
the question ignored in the platforms.
