premiere at the Little Theatre. despite
the small capacity OF that house.
Small theatres. established a fad
few years ago. are beginning TO and the
struggle difficult. High rentals and the
great cost Of operation require a very
big hit like Irene TO allow for a profit
OF such houses.
One Of the sensitive barometers Of cur
rent conditions is the spectacle. Mecca
has just started with a bumper crop OF
patronage at the Century. "Aphrodite, -
another Conistock & Gest production. Is
also reported TO be doing favorably in
Chicago. Managers are watching these
attractions closely, as a comparatively
slight drop in their return would mean
their withdrawal because OF the heavy
investment.
Outside OF "Aphrodite" the only big
drawing card OF last years proportions
in Chicago is Miss Ethel Barrymore with
"Declasse." business is similarly irregu-
lar in Philadelphia. Boston and Wash
'ngton. with few big hits and several
shows Just making ends meet.
One of the curiosities OF popular taste
now being evinced Is that the public no
longer accepts two plays of a similar
nature. Last season Lenore Uric in
The Son-Daughter" was successful in
spite of having been preceded by Fav
BANTER in another Chinese play. This
season "A Man of the People," Thomas
Dixon's play on Lincoln. remained only

almost completed a years run, out

Federal relations.
A great many of them do not believe
1t ever will. They know that Col. Wentz'
president OF the national association al
WAYS has shied at the antitrust law
bugaboo when there was talk of con-
certed effort among operators for the
limitation of prices They know that
last summer. when he was named as
member of representative committee
by the Attorney -General--thc body
known as The Palmer committee-to I'M
prove trade conditions, he announced
that he would be unable TO attend the
committee meetings. and he never did
attend The wholesalers assert also That,
as a class. the producers do not love
them. Every one of the big mine oper-
ating organizations has it's own sales or
ganization. with It's efficient ramifica-
tions in all parts of the country. These
have to meet the competition Of the
wholesalers. 1t would not be surprising
il was said. that the producers should
look with coTpplacency upon the disconn-
future Of the wholesalers.
II is believed in wholesale coal circles
that the producers, who have been thus
far comparatively immune to prosecu-
ton. would be quite content to let the
wholesalers bear all the contumely re
sultant upon e1tortionate proiteering.
Many OF the wholesalers, including the
Wholesale Coal Trade Association of
New York. have cooperated closely with
the efforts of the Department of Justice
TO clean house in this and other dis
tricts Due largely to that cooperation
and TO the adoption of reformatory re-
restrictive trade rules. very small per-
centage of the wholesalers of the East
can be charged Justly with violation of
the Federal coal statutes. and that small
minority is being eliminated rapidly
from the field by prosecution.
But the wholesalers have not denied
there were some malefactors among
them IF the public is disposed TO make
the wholesaler the sacrificial burnt offer
ing why, they realize. should the pro-
ducers, with whose sales organizations
the wholesaler is in competition, go out
of their way to beat their breasts and
cry aloud in the market place, II, too,
have sinned?' There are men wise In
coal lore who suspect considerations OF
this kind quite as much as the bristles
Of the Sherman law, were antmating mo-
tives for what was practically the pigeon
boiling of Mr.. Palmer's pet plan by the
National Association of Producers.

THE Allies have backed down from
their demand that Germany surrender
to them some eight or nine hundred
criminals of high and low degree who
are guilty Of high crimes and mis-
demeanors in the carrying on Of the
great war. Germany declared that it
would be impossible to turn the want
ed men over to the foreign govern
ments, but agrees to try them herself.
This seems to be satisfactory to the
Allies, who will not press the matter
further. This may be the wise course
to pursue; and yet how certain it is
that Germany would have gotten any
body she wanted, from any place on
earth, had she been victorious.

EVEN the most obtuse and stub
born opponents OF prohibition are be-
ginning to discern that this country is
getting really dry. The Prohibition
Commissioner, John F. Kramer, is the
right man for the place, and he is 60
ing about the business Of roofing out
the liquor traific in the most efficient
manner. He Is very we'll satisfied
with the progress his department is
making in enforcing the law. or
course there is some illicit distilling
and bootlegging and smuggling, but
Uncle Sans long arms are reaching
out for the offenders here and there
and they are realizing that he is in
eXorable in his determination to end
the business. The distillers and brew
crs and booze-hoisters are still feebly
kicking, and liquor papers like the
Baltimore Sun are trying to boost
them in every way possible, but the
struggles are those Of dying critter.
QUITE sensation has been
created by the resignation Of Secre-
tary of State Robert Lansing. who re-
tires from this exalted Office because
he is no longer in favor with Presi-
dent Wilson. The published cor
respondence between the President
and Mr.. Lansing is quite frank and
&c kl,A
camouflage that characterizes such
communications.
The President gives as his cause of
displeasure the fact that during his
illness Secretary Lansing took it upon
himself to cali together the cabinet to
consider questions Of state. Mr.. Will
son contends that this is the peroga-
tive Of the President alone and that
Mr.. Lansing exceeded his authority in
calling cabinet meetings.
The oStensible reason is not the real
cause of the trouble, however. Mr..
Lansing has not agreed with the
Presidents foreign diplomacy. He
has been lukewarm both as to the
treaty and the league Of nations and
Mr.. Wilson has not gotten hearty sup
port from him in these two projects
upon which the Presidents heart and
mind have been so firmly fixed. This
lack OF harmony has had its natural
result, and the Secretary OF State has
had to go. There's really no reason
why there should be any sensation
over the inevitable solution of
natural difference of opinion.
Mr.. Lansing is a fine gentleman and
has long been popular in Washington.
He has been connected with the State
Department for a great many years.
and has perhaps had a sort OF belief
that his views must prevail in matters
OF diplomacy. He got his training
under his father-in-law, former Sec.
rotary Of State John w. Foster, and
had been under Republican influences
so long that there is reason to doubt
that he could be in complete sympathy
with Q Democratic administration.
The episode has DEVELOPED one
thina; The President is not a very
sick man-fer there is nothing feeble
about the way in which he is carrying
out his own ideas.
