The reproduction Of one Of England's
old festival plays will occur on Novem-
Der IS. when many Of the greatest men
of English letters and art will play
Not as Bad as We Seem" for charity at
Devonshire House in Plccadily. Among
the players will be Sir James Barrie, Sir
William Orpen. Sir Gilbert Parker. Sir
Robert Bridges. II. G. Wells, John Gals
worthy. H. f. Dickens. son of Charles
Dickens; w. III. Davis, a lyrical poet,
and Lionel Tennyson. son OF the poet.
The King and Queen and Princess
Mary will be present. The cheapest seat
will be five guineas The proceeds will
go for the equipment of a children's
library in the little house in Johnson
street, Somerstown, where Charles Dick
cEs lived when he was a humble bottle
washer.
The same play was enacted in Devon
shire House before Queen Victoria in
1851. Famous writer's, poets and artists
of the time were in the cast Charles
Dickens playing the leading part and
Wilkie Collins the part of his valet The
proceeds went for country settlement
fer INDECENT authors, an institution for
which both Dickens and Bulwer Lytton
worked.
The play is now presented to aid in
bringing happiness and love of books
to the children of the slums, in which is
Dickens's boyhood home.
Charles Dickens's son will have the
leading role. The parts the others will
play have not been determined. Many
celebrities will act as supers. Few of
them know much about acting and stage
technique, although most of them have
written for the stage.
In addition to those. mentioned as
having parts in the play there will be
Lady Diana Cooper, Miss Fay Comp
ton, Lord Dunsany and William Pett
Ridge. with Miss Compton in the lead
ing female role. the part played by her
grandmother in 1851.
Conspicuous among those who were
approached with a view to having them
take part in the production and who
declined was George Bernard Shaw. who
replied to an earnest appeal that of all
men he was least suited 20 keep an au-
dience in their seats.
The comedy was originally written by
Bulwer Lytton especially for the Guild
of Literature and Art founded by him
and Dickens. and deals with the treat
ment accorded their predecessors under
George Nv. There are many lines full OF
wit.
A ball will follow the play at the
Devonshire House, which now Is unoc-
cupied.

included In the safeguarding Of the in
dustr.es act. Among the 5000 articles
added to the tax list there are drugs
essential to the doctor and druggist,
and the bill is causing widespread dis
approval. These drugs include many
from Germany which have been on
the market without duty many years
and are in constant use. With tho
taxes the prices will go up and drug

A determined rate war has begun
between English railroads and auto
mobile bus companies. Meanwhile the
public here is encouraged to believe
that there will be a material reduction
in charges, which are now about 100
per cent. above those of pre-war
times.
The gage was thrown down by the
bus companies, which launched an
autumn campaign TO transport pack
ages to the Midlands and South Coast.
Also. they announced big cuts In pas
senger rates, which, owing to their
well organized system, the railroads
could not afford to ignCre.
A conference has just been held be-
tween representatives of the railroads
and heads OF mineral concerns at which
possible reductions in rates were dis
cussed. The recommendations they de-
cided on Will go to the managers of
the lines. Reductions in rates on iron
ore, limestone and supplies used in
blast furnaces will be urged.
Railroad companies or England at
tempted recently to operate motor lines,
but when they failed to get permission
they said they would press for an
amendment to the railroad bill. taking
the question up In the House of Com
mons. This stirred the bus companies
to redoubled efforts
When the railroads were taken from
Government control recently managers
or the lines discovered that motor haul
ing constituted a serious competitor. as
the so-called special rates" got the
business. Large firms in England are
continually asking for rate quotations
for quick deliveries by motor lorry,
which. 1t has been proved here, can
more than compete in every respect
with the railroads.
The auto bus companies expect a
falling off in passenger business this
winter because of bad weather. They
intend to make up this loss in revenue,
however, by converting their buses into
lorries and handling freight. including
all kinds of merchandise. Also they
intend to establish fast morning and
evening transport service to the suburbs
of London. which is expected to strike
another blow at the railroads. They
hope to counter the railroads excur-
sions in the football season on a scale
never before attempted, and believe that
the charabancs will get the bulk of this
excursion business because 1t Is thought
football enthusiasts will prefer the auto
bus to the railroad carriages.
This is believed to be the first really
serious bid by charabanc concerns for
business heretofore had by the railroads
exclusively.
Owing to geographical advantages i'm
connection with comparatively short
hauls. motor transportation Is meeting
with great success in England. Auto
buses constitute a strong attraction as
they afford added pleasure to a trip
when the weather is good. Among the
most profitable runs Is that between
London and Glasgow. 1t is extremely
popular among tourists. who are able
to see the country to better advantage
from charabanc than from q railroad
carriage.

Injured by Foreign Press.

The Soviet press seems especially
pleased to reprint. with short COM
mentaries. the sensational news OF the
West European newspapers about Soviet
Russia. In the Krasnajd G1setd Cred
Paper) is again to be found an article,
which this time is quoting the Posiednija
NouosH --latest News) OF Milyukoff IN
Paris. On reading these references In
Red Paper 1t becomes twofold evil
dent how tactless and injurious are these
optimistic prophecies and senseless SEN
sations. The KrdsndjG GosetG places on
top the remark that the White Russian
Partisan paper has entitled the speech
OF Kishkin about the struggle of the
bourgeois committee in Russia against
the famine "On the Way to New Gov
ernment In Russia"
Likewise Injurious is the sensational
report in the Berlner Anseiger, accord
ing to which the Soviet Government has
declared to the leaders OF the Menshe-
Wiki that they are not able to manage
tho position in order to confer about the
saving of Russia. 1T is reported that
the relief committee for the starving. in
which the Bolsheviki are very weakly
represented, will enter the Government. :
This paper Is also reprinting more
such similar reports from the Berlin Ryt
ana the w Dlle FtuSSIdH pdpciS
characterizing them shortly as lies AMI
stupidity These reports are suffi-
ciently known. There can also natural
" be found news of the usual flight
OF prominent Communist leaders. among
which of course Is Trotzky."
Such reports are not only injurious.
as they mislead the world about Soviet
Russia, but are joyfully received by the
Soviet press and have an especially
noxious effect in Russia. There they
prove to the citizen that the foreign
countries, and especially the Russia n
enigrant press. have no idea Of the true
conditions in Russia. At the same time
the perpetual nonsense OF the White
Russian press badly depreciates the
reputation of the whole foreign press.
Finally. this tactlessly places trumps
in the hands of the Bolsheviki. Thus
the Russian Relief Committee, as can
oe seen in the same copy OF the Rrds-
raju Goset1, addressed an explanation
to the public, in which they stated once
more and once more underlined the fact
that they are entirely non-political, work
under the sign Of the Red Cross, and
repudiate any political entanglements in
the relief work. 1t can be observed from
this that the committee, in spite Of its
subsection to the Communists. Is meet
