CHAUTAUQUA JUNIOR TOWN .'

The Children's Home in New Britain has run along for eighteen years with out calls for financial help from the people. It has grown and prospered and has given a home to many chill dren. There they have lived some of them from infancy through kinder garten work, grammar school and, in same instances through High school days. Then they have gone out into- the world and are what they are because of the training they have re- ceived at the Home.
 Staunch friends have followed the fortunes of the home, and staunch friends have supported it.
 It seems especially appropriate that the first organization to go on record with the aim of aiding the children s home should be a children's organiza- tion. It is called Junior Town" and is one of the seeds for good spread by the Chautauqua workers here.
 The members of the Junior town { meet at the Chautauqua tent every morning at nine o'clock. The mayor of the little town presides, and the proceedings are carried on with childlike dignity of procedure.
 Already the members have planned means to raise a sum for the Chill dren's Home here. Probably that sum will be small indeed, but great indeed is the inception of the idea.
 Possibly, with the passing of the Chautauqua, the Junior Town will pass. It is to be hoped not. It is to be hoped that the Junior Town will keep alive, not so much for the pecuniary help it may give the Home, but because of the interest it would create in the Home and the feeling that would grow in every member of the Junior Town that it was his or her duty to remember there were other children who have no homes such as they have, and that it would be a helpful and kind thing to do to begin their lives by thinking of other people less fortunate than themselves Good luck to the Junior Town.

fession"; many of the actors organ izations will join III honoring him; after the final performance a thou sand actors will march to the station to see him off, and the parade will be headed by Victor Herbert and a band.
 To say that this will be an extra ordinary celebration is to put the mat a thing been done.
 And what is the cause of this re- markable action? Affection for the actor? Certainly. But that affection last three years-the years when he has been playing the same character along the mecca of all actors-Broad- way Appreciation of success, is a cause undoubtedly. Actual enjoyment of the play and the atmosphere Frank Bacon has thrown about it, is another. And what was that character, and what were the surroundings in which IL stood forth.
 The play itself is based upon the latest of conditions-the troubles and humorous situations of men and women seeking divorce. A new idea is inserted by the fact thatsthe "hoteP run by .'Lightnin's'' wife is placed on the border line of two states. A guest of dence in a state where divorce is easily procurable, and may yet give as an address a state which will not stamp her as seeking divorce. The characters and the idea of the play | are to-date-even sometimes a
 little ahead of the times.
 Into this modern assemblage comes old "Lightnin'," slow of speech, an
 old d-timer" ill-clad, a philosopher of the old times-a being whom we all | knew years ago if we were old enough. Thus taken from the years of long ago, comes one of those characters not unlike the part made famous by | Denman Thompson in The Old Homestead" and is placed amid mod ern surroundings.
 | Perhaps there is a deal of sentiment
 in the actor of today as in years past; perhaps there is admiration for the man who could forget those modern surroundings and. hold to character perhaps there is all this in the demon
 stration to be given Frank Bacon.
 But there is also a recognition o1 the 1oveable quaintness of the people
 now popularly deprecated, as showr by Bacon, inefficient in action, grea
 of heart So it is believed that into
 the tribute to be given this acto
 there is great feeling of recognition
 of and admiration for the heart t
 the past, despite the popularity o | the lack of it as shown in the present
 There are some old things that vii
 never die-they will live in the heart
 of those times-hearts ever open t. tales of distress, never closed to sor . row.

"LIGHTNIN'." :"

A most remarkable situation is noted in the departure from New York of Frank Bacon, the actor in 'Lightnin' " which has appeared on Broadway, New York, for three years. Around Bacon revolves the play. Take him. or the character so admirably depicted by him, from the attrac- tion. and little would be left. More part to be of mediocre ability the play might fail.
 He is to be given a luncheon on Saturday by his friends in ''the pro-

The agreement providing for~Amer- ican relief work in Russia has been signed. Speechel were made by Lit vinoff, representative of the Russian famine commission and by MeirovitE, the Letvian premier. Walter Lyman Brown, American representative said a few formal words, not lacking in diplomatic grace, but not reaching in to the realms of the future as did the words of the others.
 Glowing words of hope for future good feeling between Russia and America were uttered by tho foreign CTS. The meeting was called the first of many steps toward this end. They dwelt on this meeting as the joining g forces, and the confident hope was expressed that these two great na- tions would resume sympathetic rela- tions, etc. etc.

dent Wilson for his policy in deal
ing with Russia. The hope was ex-
pressed that the United States would
not continue to follow "obdurately'
the course taken by President Will
son who, the note declared, without
cause and without any declaration
Of war" had attacked Russia and
showed during his whole admins
tration a growing hostility towards
the Russian republic"
With the formal proposal to send
an official delegation here, the note
contained what was construed as Il
promise to exclude the United States
from it's field of revolutionary prop
aganda. 1.-THE Soviet entirely alb

struction and building up its eco
nomic life" the note said, has not

mittee makes herewith categorical
declaration to this effect
Confirmation of Lenine's declara-
ton of his remuneration of many OF

ceived by the State department nave
heen given careful study by the gov
eminent experts and while it was re-
allied his apparent about-face may
have been nothing more than move
caused by the exigencies OF the STU
alton. there was manifest here a dis
position to give it greater credence.
Without formal announcement hav-
ing been made, the attitude OF the
United States towards the importa-
ton of gold, supposedly of Russian
origin. was indicated. There now is
on the way to this country large
quantity of gold shipped from Stock
holm and said to bear the mint mark
of the Swedish government. 1t was
explained that the United States
would not concern itself as to the or
igin of the metal and that the parties
to whom it has been consigned would
receive it at their own risk, leaving
the adjustment of any question as to
it's ownership to the courts. The po-
sition of the government is that lit
can not well impugn the status of
metal which bears the stamp of any
recognized government. The position
which the former administration held
was one of encouragement to any
such importation.
It also became known today that
there has been some slight relaxation
of the strict regulations governing
the issuance of vises and passports.
although it was explained that even
now and only in extreme cases would
there be any modification.
In some official circles the opinion
was expressed that satisfactory trade
relations with Russia can not be re-
sumed unless the soviet government
is recognized by this country. Since
all Russian trading is in the hands of
the soviet government. it was ex-
planned, shipments of gold to this
country would be liable to attach
ment by creditors Of the imperial
Russian government.
