PLAY. .cIvIL sERvIcEr

Sparkling with humor, witty, ani
filled with funny situations, "Civi
Service" is just the kind of a play
that will make the spectators forget
the storm and stress of these finan-
cial times.
Birdie Bivins and Goldie Wex
would make anyone forget their
troubles. Only one danger exists
and that is that the audience may
forget other more serious parts of
the play and watch for the appear
aDce of these two characters. Pew
Wy and Mrs. Jeffs also add comedy
to the play Mrs. Jeffs especially
lending much color, life and vigor
in her scenes.
For those who like more serious
situations, the play is likewise full
of these. Many of the scenes ars
touching and sympathetic, appealing
to the emotions. If anyone in the
audience can watch the scenes be-
tween Kate and Steve, Kate and Il.
F. D., r. F, d. and Steve, without
being touched, then they are hard
hearted indeed The cross exami-
nations taht the Inspector puts Kate
and Steve through is one of the
most appealing in the play At the
end of the second act, the sacrifice
of r. F. D. for Steve, whom he
finds to be his son, is exceedingly
touching At the end OF the play
humor and pathos are combined to
make very interesting situation.
The First ward Mutual in pre-
senting this drama feels that the
play itself is one of the best that
has ever been selected for amateurs
TO play. Moreover, since its at
is cheerful, it adds zest to
life and helps us TO. forget the
hard and trying financial times
which we are passing.

walked through streets of once pros
porous cities, where not one particle
of worthwhile merchandise could be
seen for sale. Streets and market
places are used chiefly as bartering
places where people endeavor to ex-
:hange a secondhand garment, or other
personal property for food with which
to satisfy hunger.
This was last August Ones imagin-
alton recoils before the picture of
what conditions will be in February
and March,
The question naturally occurs-are
the people to blame, and why do they
not regain self-support?
One of the main reasons is that these
lands were occupied by enemy forces
until the 21st of April, 1921, with
no transportation or communication to
the outside world. After April 81,
1t was impossible to procure sufficient
seed and plant enough land to pro-
duce adequate food supplies. Then, too
the fact that | have stood beside heaps
of human bones and half-decomposed
bodies representing the remains Of 500
women and children killed in one spot
within the year-and these were only
part of the 1900 non-combatants
who perished in that vicinity-sug-
gests the reign of terror that has para
lyzed all normal self-supporting activi-
ties.
These people are trying to help
themselves and the existing govern
ment is doing all that is humanity pos.
slble for government to do under
present conditions, but without outside
help--help from the whole of America
there will be a death rate in the /
Caucasus during the coming year com
parable only with that which many of
our workers witnessed three years ago.

within our orphanage compounds, /

and play. 1t is a gratifying sight to
see these children, thousands OF them,
at work making their own clothing for
the winter from cast-off American gar
ments and empty flour sacks, and
otherwise bending every effort TO meet
their own needs.
These children we will probably, on
present prospects, be able to keep alive,
hut we must face the question Of how
much we can do toward taking in those
naked, starving little orphaned crea-
lures outside. Because funds so far
received have not come in sufficient
quantity. we cannot salvage these hui I
nan atoms who are pounding at our ,
orphanage gates and on our hearts.
