RUSSIAN ACTORS FLOCK
TO central EUROPE
Influx Of Dramatic Talent Is Revo-
lutionizing Stage Stand
ards.

BERLIN, September 16.-SRussian
dramatic art is revolutionizing the
theaters Of central Europe. Actors,
singers and dancers who were forced
to leave Russia because of political
troubles and the food shortage first
found their way into music halls and
cabarets, and recently the regularly
organized Russian companies have OBJ
tanned permission from the soviet
government to leave Russia for short
engagements in European capitals.
Fifty players from the Moscow Art
Theater, in many ways the most cele-
brated theater In the world. are now
in Berlin offering a number of their
productions just as they present them
in Moscow. Among the plays in ,,e their !,
repertoire are Cricket on the Hearth.
Strindberg's Eric Fourteenth" and
Twelfth Night"
Berlin now has a Russian popula-
ton of nearly 100000, and 1t conse-
Quently affords large audiences for
productions In the Russian language.
The company's work Is notable for the
natural methods of the players, the
lack of stars, and the marvellous abil-
ity of all actors to contribute to the
perfection Of the stage picture. The
ability of Russians as pantominlists
and dancers has made 1t possible for
them to enter the variety houses In
all the European capitals as well as
at the various seaside casinos. Ostend
and Scheveningen are giving employ
ment to many Russian performersSand
singers. They have found places in
the French and German variety the
aters. and they are making their way
to America in large numbers.

SAYS AMUNDSEN SHIP

Arctic Navigator Declares Ice
Floes Will Break Up
, the Maud.

SEATTLE. Wash. September 10
Capt Roald Amundsen's schooner
Maud. in which he set out from this
city last June on an expedition to the
north pole, is sure to be crushed in
the ice pack off Wrangell Island,
where Capt. Amundsen left her. in the
opinion Of Capt. Z. T. Mcintyre, who
for eighteen years has navigated the
Arctic ocean, and has just returned
here from East Cape. Siberia.
II can't believe" said Capt. McIn-
tyre, that Amundsen will attempt to
fly over the north pole this season"
Capt. Mcintyre declared that Capt.
Oscar Visiting. navigator of the
Maud. and his crew. will be lucky il
they can get back to land alive.
In my opinion" he said the Maud
is doomed. Her bottom is constructed
so that the ice will lift her up. Very
good. But no matter what her con-
struction when those huge hum
mocks begin closing in on her sides
she's going to crush.
IF Capt. Amundsen should attempt
to fly across the pole this season that
would be the end of him and his pilot.
He's at Wainwright now. and he'll
have 1000 miles to fly before reach
ing the pole. The Arctic ocean is full
of ice this. fall-hummocky ice-that
wouldn't permit landing any

BERLIN. September 16.-Chancel-

echo among the newspapers. Nearlr
all of them refer to the recent riot
ing in Berlin, Munich and BochuH.
which was caused by the high cost
of living and low wages. The Com

'Ninety-siX per cent of the school
children in the industrial cities ar
undernourished," the paper says. ''and
even now 30 per cent of these Will
suffer for life from the present laCl

average working man in German

he now earns only s gold marks.
whereas the price Of food, clothing
and fuel has kept pace with the drop

now higher in gold marks than !
was before the war.
Under these conditions II is nat .

or, wds waited to catch a glimpsei of
Prime Minister Lloyd George hurry
ing into the cabinet meeting, there
seemed to exist the tenseness SO ia
miliar only a few years ago.
Even the newspapers reflected the
war time spirit with pictures of a
transport sailing from Southampton
bearing a detachment of soldiers to
Mesapota mia. Newspaper posters on
every corner again shrieked the
calamitous word war
When Lloyd George met with the
cabinet late in the day 1t was with
the full knowledge that definite steps
must be taken to meet the aggressive
action on the part of Mustapha Ke-
NAL Pasha. who yesterday sent broad
cast the public statement that the al
lies must either give the Turks Con-
stantinople or be prepared to defend
the city against his armies. In offi-
Cial circles here doubt exists as to
whether kemal will carry his threats
into action as the allied forces al
ready in Consta ntinople or on their
way to the neutral zone are fully
capable of resisting the Turkish
forces.
Full cooperation of British and
French in defending Constantinople
now seems assured as the French cab
met Friday sent note to Downing
street agreeing that such unity was
necessary.
Venice may yet be chosen as the
place of the meeting preliminary to
a general peace conference.

London and Paris have been notified

had been made after he personally
had conferred with representative
officials OF the American Red Cross

two organizations, he said, had
cabled S25.00O each for relief work

partment felt that private relief
organizations while ready to cooper

situation or provide more than a
temporary amelioration.
