AMERICANS FIGURE
In GERMAN PLAYS
Berlin Opera Poets Turn to
u. S. For New Ideas
On Stage Lore.

BERLIN. June 1.-THE German
opera poets are turning more and
more toward America for new
ideas. A new play, much applaud
ed, Is Inn of Love" The main
figure is an American. hunting for
liquor.
The German press and the man
on the street seem to think that
is the chief occupation Of the
American these days, when he is
not scheming to rob some more or
less innocent foreigner.
Along the latter line Is the new
operetta. called Girls of Davos."
1t is al the Central Theater. in
Berlin. The chief character Is a
smart American business man who
is trying to swindle a Swiss in
ventor out of his new motor for
bobsleds. The author quotes the
American millionaire, conspiring
with his engineer, as saying,
You're not much of an American
II you can't cheat this man out of
his invention"
Loud cheers from the German
audience.
Perhaps, however. that doesn't
mean much, for when the daughter
of the millionaire. who by the way
is named Smith, falls in love with
the Swiss inventor, the audience
cheers just as loudly.
This Smith millionaire therefore
yields to his daughters plea, gives
her to the swiss, with his blessing
and so per cent Of the stock in
the company which is to make the
motor. Nothing Is said about any
harvester stock.
At all events. the papers say the
actors and actresses perfectly imi-
tate Americans, and the money
ratified on the stage sounds like
perfectly good American money.
There is lots of dancing, pretty
girls and everybody marries every
body else and all is Joy.

MURDER SCANDAL {
MAY FORCE CHANGE

Shortt May Resign as Re
suit of Reprieve of
Murderer.

LONDON, June 11.-Political and
social influences have become so far
involved in the sensational case of
Capt. Ronald True. who was sem
fenced to die on a charge Of brutal
ly numbering a young girl and was
subsequently, committed to an
asylum. that the early resignation

mingled with suggestions that the
influence of the nobility was exer-
cised to save Capt. True from exc
cution are stirring up general ex-
element A heated scene is antici-
pated in the house of commons
Monday. when it is expected that
questions concerning the manner
in which the former oficer was re-
prieved will be showered at the
home secretary.
Medical Inquiry Follows.
Queries regarding the influences
that prompted a medical inquiry
followed after Capt. True had been
found guilty by the jury. Inquiries
may be made as to the identity OF
the unnamed titled mother of Capt.
True, who is said to have brought
powerful influences to bear in hav-
ing the death sentence set aside.
1t is even suggested that the very
tenure of the government will be
involved before the scandal is
cleared up, although it is believed
that Home Secretary Shortt will be
sacrificed through his early resig
nation to avoid running the risk Of
a vote of censure in commons.
The opposition which has long been
cunning for Shortt, is making every
effort to capitalize the situation to
its own advantage.
1t has been years since London
society was so stirred as it is over
the True case and the story that he
was the illegitimate son OF a titled
woman well known in court circles
has thrown an atmosphere Of fas-
cinating mystery around the strange
scandal.

The cost to the union is large.

The State had on hand far more wit
