A suggestion that railroads be allowed

that the railroads must have some

BarthelmeSs at the Earle

HERE is great difference be-

from brief period of idleness and
the comedy that is the tragedy of a
great war. The motions are the
same, there are similar tendencies

equal amounts of tolerance from
those who are more seriously en-
gagged. Yet one represents play for

other recalls courage and its red
