Elevated Railroad Smokers.

To THE NEW York HERALD: There

In going to work each morning I take
either the Third or the Second avenue

train arrives at that station men who
are unable TO restrain themselves an
other minute take to the solace of their
cigarettes. The air in the car Is al

PERU Would ARBITRATE
TACNA-ARICA DISPUTE
Awaits ChiIe's Reply to Def.
mite Settlement Plan.

WASHINGTON, May 29 (Associated
Press) The next move in the Chilean
Peruvian conference now awaits Chile's
reply to a definite proposal from Peru t.
submit to arbitration their ancient dis
pute over the sovereignty of Tacna-
africa.
The Peruvian plan. on which the ad
vice of the Santiago Foreign Office has
been sought by the Chilean delegates,
proposes the arbitrators decide not only
whether a plebiscite is to be held as
provided In the treaty of Ancon but also
establish basis for determining finally
to whom the province belongs.
In the event of an arbitral decision
against the plebiscite, the Peruvians ar,
understood to propose that the arbitrator
then prescribe definitely what solution
shall be substituted. In case the p!ebi-
scite is favored the arbitrator would lay
down the conditions under which it is to
be held.

German Plays in New York.

It will surprise all those ac-
quainted with the theatrical situa-
tion in New York to learn that a
playhouse devoted to the drama in
German will soon be built at great
expense here. Even before the war
German theaters in New York had
to struggle hard for existence. Pri-
yate aid from philanthropic or COM
mercial sources was necessary to en-
able the impresarios to make ends
meet financially.
II outside help was necessary when
the German theater was maintained
in a relatively inexpensive quarter Of
the town, the struggle will be still
more difficult when the dramas are
given in home which will rival the
ether New York theaters. The public
for the enjoyment Of plays in the
German language has always con-
sisted of elements from which the
manager can expect only moderate
support. Those who came to the
United States too late in life to learn
English well enough to enjoy plays
in the vernacular and those who
have not yet been here long enough
to understand our drama are the
classes from which the German man.
ager has had to draw his support
Students of German and German
speaking Americans interested in
German plays cannot supply paying
audiences.
These are the connoisseurs OF the
theater. They are eager for all that
is new and fine, but they usually
need the attraction of famous
performer to draw them. In the
last score Gf years the United States
has seen few distinguished visitors
from the German stage. There are
few stars of the first magnitude even
in Germany. The same Is true,
moreover, of other foreign theaters.
Neither France nor Italy has sent
here in the last twenty years any
new and outstanding apostles of
its drama. The dominating figures
of the theater in Germany to-day are
stage managers such as MAX REIN
nARpT. In France there are FTRMTN

1t is absurd to continue to call our

Propaganda Suspected.
Regarding the Display
Of Royal Faces in America.

To THE New YORK HERALD: There
are in the United States concerns that
send out pictures to the country news
papers which contain a big percentage
of royalty subjects, of kings. queens.

enough to provoke any good democrat.
Now why Is this done?
American newspapers ought not to
publish such monarchical propaganda.
or If they do publish it they ought also
to publish a short editorial article with
each one. showing how the royal person
assumes to govern other human beings
without their consent. and generally
should show up the uselessness OF such
people In the world, and how they live
on the sweat of others 'brows. sc.
If American newspapers would do
this or refuse to publish such pictures
at all 1t would be true Americanism,
for this country certainly has no use
for kings and potentates. d. w.

paddy Duffy's Cart"
A Former Harrigan and Hart Madri.
gal Boy Tells About the Song.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Paddy
Duffy's Cart" was sung in the play
'Squatter Sovereignty" which was the
second produced in the Theater Comique
on Broadway, near Astor place The
first production was "The Major"
which had run Of more than six
months in 1888. / was madrigal boy
in the company and sang with eleven
others in blackface and Continental
suits THE Veteran Guard Cadets our
cue being given by Johnny Wild and
the scene being Coney Island.
But to return to Paddy Duffy's
Cart" let me quote q letter to me by
the late John Sparks. who was one of
the best known of Harrigan and Hart's
company:
"Paddy Duffy's Cart was sung by
George Merritt, william Merritt, John
Oberist and James Fox of Goss and
Fox. These were the four that sat in
the cart. while George Merritt sang the
song and they all joined in the chorus"
The cart was a peddler's wagon and
stood at the foot OF a fight of steps
leading to shanty, in the door OF
which was a motherly looking Irish
woman When the refrain "Twinkling
Stars which followed the chorus of
Paddy Duffy's Cart" was being sung.
I had the honor of carrying a pitcher
of beer. shall we call it?-across the
stage and up the stairs. This was in
the latter part OF 1888.
Following the long run of "Squatter
Sovereignty" "The Blackbird" was pro-
duced. Harrigan's stage manager and
prompter. George Stout. wrote the play.
One OF the popular songs of the pro-
ductlon was "The Mountain Dew," some
lines of which were:
Under the hill
There's a little still
Where the smoke rolls UP to the sky.
You can easy tell
BY tho whiff of a smell
There's whisky. boys. close by.
Although IL Is not generally known.
De Wolf Hopper had a leading part in
''The Blackbird,'' and he was just as
full of fun behind the scenes then as he
Is before an audience now, although the
character he portrayed then was a seri-
Gus one.
Hore's what Mr.. Sparks said to me
regarding Tony Hart: II have played
In reproductions which were originally
played by poor Tony Hart. who was one
Of the finest men ever born"
Although nearly forty years have
passed since these plays were first pro-.
6uced. dare say The present generation
will have nothing to look back to two
decades hence such as is the privilege
now for those who had the good fortune
to witness such plays and to know per-
sonally such men as Harrigan and Hart.

Oxygen for Mountaineers.
Included in Equipment Of Everest
Expedition.
From the Geographical Journal.

From the Geographical Journal.
The party was equipped this year
with oxygen at the strong desire Of
section OF the climbers who had con-
vinced themselves, or had been con-
vinced. that they would never reach the
summit without it. The committee,
feeling bound to supply whatever in
reason might be demanded, cheerfully
faced the large expenditure required
and gave the oxygen subcommittee
Captain Farrar. Mr.. Finch. Mr.. Somer-
veil and Mr.. Unna-a pretty free hand.
With the enthusiastic help of Professor
Dreyer of Oxford, Major c. J. Stewart
and Mr.. Eagar Of the Air Ministry. and

Siebe German & Co., who made the gear.
the subcommittee in about five weeks
produced the remarkable outfit which
was loaded on the p. & o. special that
left Victoria on March 2.
There are, however. several sides to
the question, and It may. we think. be
said that though the Mount Everest
committee were all willing and anxious
IL 1t proved to be essential to success
they were not as a whole convinced that
it Is in all ways a desirable adjunct to
mountaineering, and especially they
were not prepared to admit that II Is
essential to any advance beyond the
Chang La. The Duke of the Abruzzi
reached $4,000 feet without 1t DR.. Long
staff $4,000. while DR.. Kellas and Major
Morshead on Kamet in 1920 found
themselves at 23.500 feet so 1T that they
were convinced they could have gone
much higher if their party had been
strong enough to bring up the camp.
Not every one will accept Professor
Dreyer's dctum that oxygen should be
taken at all times above $4,000 feet.
There seems to be no real reason why
the first dump of oxygen cylinders
should not be made at about 24,500 feet
by trips from the camp at the Chang
La without using any oxygen at all;
nor why the second dump should not be
made by climbers using the auxiliary OF
Professor Leonard Hills bags supplied
with oxygen from cakes of sodium per-
oxide (oxylth) acted on by water and
used as a restorative at halts. If this
can be done 1t may equally be possible
to make the high camp at $4,000 or
10000 feet that was discussed as an
essential before ever the oxygen outfit
was seriously considered.
1t is more than likely that some OF
the climbers will find 1t impossible to
tolerate the restraint OF all this ap-
paratus and will develop new and in
teresting varieties of the "claustro-
phobiav that afflicts men shut up in the
pressure chamber or the diving dress.
And this would be a good thing, because

DR.. Frederick w. Norwood. pastor OF
the City Temple in London. spoke yes
terday on Democracy and Religion"
at luncheon of the Federation Of
Churches In his honor at the Hotel
Astor. DR.. Norwood has taken the tenn
porary pastorate Of the Broadway Tab
ernacle while DR.. Charles Edward Jer-
ferson has gone as exchange minister to
the City Temple.
THE star of democracy is everywhere
ascending" said DR.. Norwood. There is
passion for self-government through
out the world. You can hear 1t in Egypt
and in India and even in the Businesses
of Africa. Mans spirit Is awakening
and those who try to hold 1t back are
ultimately swept away.
"The real makers Of revolution are not
men like Lenine, but those of the stamp
of Nicholas III. and Louis XVI. of
France. They fail to see the rising
movements either through ignorance or
amiability and are eventually destroyed.
The modern democratic movement be-
gan In the fifteenth century and has
neved ceased to operate since"
However much democracy as a form
Of government might be q worthy ideal.
DIR. Norwood was not inclined to view
1t as the ultimate state. and indeed he
cast some doubt upon its effectiveness
in looking about. as he said, upon the
number OF democracies that have issued
forth from the war with their clash Of
ideals and bitter struggles" The level
ing down within the national systems
might only represent transitory stage
toward more general consolidation of
nations.
In this vein he warned the church
against affiliating itself too closely with
any form of government or any princi-
pies other than those formulated in
Christian doctrines.
Ministers should not hand them
selves over to any party, but should
keep to the fundamental principles of
truth and Justice" he said. IF the
church should hand itself over unre-
servedly to democracy to-day the future
generations might Judge us as we have
been judged In the past. One of the
greatest failings of the church in the
past has been that 1t connected itself
too closely with the throne and later
with the aristocracy. and because OF
this it lost great deal of prestige and
power"
