London, March 2.--British actors
and actresses have no desire to emu
late their fellow players in America
by giving Sunday theatrical perform
ances. A proposal to open London
theaters on Sundays has just been
voted down by an overwhelming ma
jority at a meeting organized by the
British Drama League. Most of those
who voted were members of the thea

The suggestion that plays be given
on Sunday was made by Arthur Bou-

a popular Socialist divine.
Mr.. Boucher said that only such
plays should be produced on Sundays
as did not occupy the usual weekly
bill and that acting on Sundays
should be optional. Any attempt at
coercion, he declared, should be made
Father Adderley urged that it was
question of common-sense, not OF
religion. that the fourth command

Woodrow Wilson Place In History

was terrible position for any mere
man to occupy. Probably to no human
being in all history did the hopes. the
prayers. the aspirations of so many
millions of his fellows turn with such
poignant intensity as to him at the
close of the war. AT time of the
deepest darkness and despair, he had
raised aloft light to which all eyes
had turned. He had spoken divine
words OF healing and consolation to a
broken humanity. His lofty moral
ideaIism seemed for a moment TO
dominate the brutal passions which
had torn the old world asunder And
he was supposed to possess the secret
which would remake the world on
fairer lines. The peace which Wilson
was bringing to the world was eX-
pected TO be Gods peace. Prussian-
ism lay crushed, brute force had fall
ed utterly The moral character Of
the universe had been most signally
indicated There was n universal
vague hope OF great moral peace,
fef new world order arising Vislbly
and Immediately on the ruins of the
lold. This hope was not mere super
flcial' sentiment. 1t was the intense
expression at the end of the war of
the inner moral and spiritual force
which had upborne the peoples dur
| ing the dark night of the war and
had nerved them to an effort almost
beyond human strength. Surely. sure
lily, God had been with them in that
long night of agony. His was the vic
tory; His should be the peace. And
president Wilson was looked upon as
1.-The man to make this great peace.
HE had voiced the great ideals of the
new order; his great utterances had
lbecome the contractnal basis for the
larmistice and the peace. The ideal
lism,of Wilson would surely become
