 While the operation of the Wash ington-Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph System is provided for in the appropriation for the support sum of $140,000 per year for many years last past for it's maintenance and operation, the cable itself is only in a minor degree for the bene- fit of the Army. which receives not in excess of one-fourth of the service rendered. another one-fourth being for the benefit of other departments of the Government, and the remain ing one-half being commercial busi- ness done at reduced rate, but which, nevertheless, returns to the Treasury approximately $190,000 in cash per annum; it is operated by the Army only because the Signal Corps is the most available govern mental agency therefor.
 The present condition of the cable has caused very considerable anxiety both to the Army, to other depart ments of the Government, and to the commercial interests of Alaska so much so that the subcommittee on communications of the Interna- tional Communications Congress has included the replacement of the present cable as second in import ance of 31 communication matters At various times questions are raised concerning the cost and over. ! head of the Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph Sys. tenn.

His Theory of Staging Aims TO Win the Audience

of Zoe Atkins s New Play

throughout this attitude of easy fow

working out of the method of uncon.

The application Of this theory o.
production to any play is likely TO
show pretty clearly and promptly
what stuff it is made Of. and "Daddv's

the rule. The fsct that it stands or
it's own feet with unusual security.
without the assistance Of tricks and
subterfuges, is rather sound tcst
mony to tho growing Importance Of
Miss Atkins among our native drama
lists.
Her new play al the Plymouth,
though, not only survives the test OF
Mr.. Hopkins's eNactjng method, but It
gains distinct advantage from il.
"Daddy's Gone A-Hunting' IS not, fer
the greater part, q play Of sudden,
violent actions and decisive reactions.
If it were. q vigorous, downright, blunt
manner might be preferable for its
interpretation Instead, Its impor
