\ STRANGE, WAR.

News reports declare that steps are going to be taken at the convention of United Medicine manufacturers of America, in session in Pittsburgh, to hard to obtain as medicinal whiskey, and to persuade merchants to act with prohibition enforcement agents in this matter.
 Human natures does not change with the enactment of new laws or the adoption of constitutional amend ments. Manufacturers of "intoXicat- ing patent medicines" are probably just as eager to have their medicines sold today as they were before the country went dry. Granting them the most honest of intentions, even, and admitting that they sell their medi- cines, with the intoxicating part of them a necessary but deprecated ad- iunct believing firmly in their efficacy such manufacturers will not believe their medicines should he used any the less because liquor has been banned.
 It is rather difficult to picture mem tally a long line of manufacturers of intoxicating patent medicines stand ing before the merchants who dis pense their goods, their hands raised in protest, their eyes lighted by the beautiful altruistic light of thought only of others. crying out: NO, no, gentlemen, do not sell our patent medicines unless you are absolutely sure that the person desiring to buy them needs them and cannot get along without them. Recommend, gentlemen, that the would-be pur- chasers of our medicines try little hot water, or other warm drink, or even exercise in the sunlight to bring Lack health. Sell our product only as

They pass as part of the days news, and men and women go on complaining over trifing troubles. little unpleasantnesses and discom- fort that are only intensified by the telling.

LLOYD GEORGES APPEAL,

Lloyd George appeals, through British and American press represen- tatives, for help, You are here" he IS quoted as saying to them, 'to in struct to sustain, to guide, and l beg of you in the interests of the worlds future not to add 10 the obstacles which are in the way, hut to use your influence to help In the solution Of difficulties which are full of menace" Lloyd George cites the Germany Russian treaty as the first indication of the menace threatening the world, He refers to the possibility, the prob- ability of a great war in the lifetime of the youngest men present at Genoa. He longs for Americas help. He dis avows any scltishness in the motive of the call. He emphasizes the man. power of Germany and Russia com bined,
 Of course there is truth in what Lloyd George says. The United States recognizes it; the world recognizes it. The germ of that truth lies back Of the desire Of a great many people in this country to bring about that closer association Of nations which has taken concrete form the League of Ma iions-an almost powcrless thing, ap- rarcnty, without America. The knowledge of the germ of truth in Lloyd Georges remarks is the cause of the great feeling of disappointment in this country among thinking men and women that President Harding's vague Association of Nations has become, apparently, dream of the past.
 General Pershing said the other day, in advocating larger military force, that this country, fully pre- pared, would have been able to pre- vent the world war Whether or not this is true it is significant coming as it bid Juol pcloIc lHt cApIcSSlOll Ol Lloyd George that America, the United States, is badly needed now to prevent another great war in the fu- ture.
 Whatever else may be said it is cer- tain that were there existent today a closer association of nations-were the United States more tangible re- ality in the scheme of things of Ger many and Russia, there would be far less danger of disaster to the confer ence at Genoa and to the future peace of the world.
 Lloyd George is not an alarmist un- less it fits his plans to be. He has taken on the role temporarily with a purpose, probably. It is probable that he is not as fearful of results at Genoa as his words seem to indicate. He has other cards to play
 But never before since the ending of the war has the power of this country's position and our respons- bility been so evident as 1t is today.

LADY ASTOR

Possibly Lady Astor's reference to America as home" prejudices us in her favor. T do not know who has been kinder to me since I got Home the public or the press," she says, in her address in which she declares that the world looks to America for moral leadership. Possibly her tribute to the press and her emphasizing of its pow CT tends to bring an approving smile. At any rate the impulse comes to note with pleasure the atmosphere of be-
 lief in the efficacy of splendid ideals, splendid thought, which she brings
 There comes, also, the irresistible desire to contrast her sentiments to those of Mrs. Asquith who, while im- pressing with her cleverness, leaves those who heard her or read the words she spoke while here, or her book, with the impression of distaste for woman who appears to have no hesitancy about discussing freely the eccentricities of those whom she calls friends" her own private affairs and the affairs of others to whom she is more or less morally indebted.
 Into the contrast comes phrase of Lady Astor's. She defined as the pearl of great price, which she is trying to place in public life by en- tering politics, that which "any man gets from his mother and most men get from their wives if they choose wisely vision, courage and cleanness." The question arises at once does Mrs. Asquith live and speak in accordance with the belief that these qualities are the ones woman is fitted -eminently to give to men

ter treatment than what movies and cheap buresque can give it, such as recently ended their run there. It was on January 1, 1912 that I saw my first play at the Lyceum. A pub lication of that date bears the follow ing advertisements: New Years Day, (Jan. 1, 1912) England's Greatest Singing Comedienne, Alice Lloyd in the Merry Musicale Little Miss Fix It." It was play that left an ever- .lastingly pleasant impression.
 I was tempted to see what other plays came to the Lyceum in those days and on turning the pages of this ten year old volume of papers, I mo- tced that on August 22, 1910 'The Music Hall Girl' came to the Lyceum and that on New Years Day, Jan. 2, 1911, Margaret Anglin appeared here in Green Stockings" a play which the N. B. H. s. Dramatic club sue cessfuly repeated in 1917. The ia miIiar notice, Seats now selling at Crowell's" always appears with these ads. That the Lyceum has once seen hctter days truly attests to the Tav ages of the more materialistic movies
 To many people, the acting of Louis Mann must have been a pleasant sur prise. Such acting calls forth paeans of applause on Broadway, for which we in New Britain should be doubly thankful. Such remarks as "a born actor" and mo better acting has been seen in New Britain for many years" appear well worthy of the man, for MT. Mann's coming to the Lyceum gives new spirit to the theater where

RUTH DRAPER.

The appearance here of Ruth Draper and the new light she has thrown upon the possibilities of char acter representation, calls for more than passing comment.
 It is not because Miss Draper was able to make those who witnessed her performance see living characters so many and varied in habit, manner. boise, that the attention is halted and held. It is not because she is so yer satile that enthusiastic praise should be given her work
 The appreciation comes, rather, be- cause in each of the characters re- sented by Miss Draper there was an intense realization of the fundamen- tals which go to make up that char acter and the ability to bring to the eye, the ear, pictures and sounds making those Fundamentals real things.
 NieNei, pTlShl, attraCtlNe'--aII II these adjectives are applicable, but all fall short of reaching the truly in- eVitable word which describes her work. Miss Draper is a great actress who wins the absolute appreciation she deserves because she feels and, feeling, shows visihly and audibIv the basic influences affecting to their depths the hearts of the persons she represents.

 But because old things were good, according to our viewpoint, it is i'm possible for us in our human fallibi- ity, to declare with certainty that they were the best" With the com- ing of new things, possibly it may be seen that the viewpoint of the past was wrong.

 But the fact that their work has been good does not make it impos, sible that the work of new men will not be better. It is certain that the new mayor will stand or fall on his Judgment insofar as that judgment dominates the decisions of the city. He has right to exercise that iudg- ment. He will be the gainer or loser the loser if the city suffers from the changes he makes. It must be pre- sumed, therefore, that his judgment tells him such changes will work for the benefit of the city. Good faith must be attributed to him. His judg- ment should be given fair trial.
 Honest regret is felt for the pass ing of many of the officials, heads of departments, commissioners who are apparently slated for removal Prob ably the mayor shares this sentiment to some degree.
