ing made by the bosses for new
world war, hung on the trees and the

A disabled veteran Fofrich, who

marched off in Mr.. wilson's crusade
to make the world safe for Wall ST.,
how many of them were murdered or
crippled for life. NOV" said Forf-
rich, I'VE must organize and force
Wall Street to make America safe
for the ex-servicemen."
The following telegram Of protest

Congress:
I'VE, as ex-servicemen denounce
the war preparations and we de-
mand and we will fight for the full
payment of our bonus and for I'M
employment insurance for all I'M
employed workers. No discrimina-
ton against Negro war veterans
and we viii fight against another
imperialist war. Signed: Workers
Ex-Servicemen's League of

OLD THEATER WALL
SOON WILL CRASH
Workmen Chiseling Founda-
tions of Last Vestige OF
the Bijou.

The sturdy back-stage wall OF Wash
,ngton,s oldest theater, the Biiou, for
merIy fashionable Ford's Opera House
will come down with roar within the
next; "a hours.
Workmen today were chiseling away
at the foundation OF the Cur1ously w.
shaued structure, and it is to be pulled
over. soon by steel cable attached to
the top.
Rearing its height into the air far
above the crumbling buildings all around
it. this wall stands out as one OF the
area which is being cleared between
Ninth and Tenth streets, Constitution
and Pennsylvania avenues as site Tor
the new Department of Justice.
It will be the second old tneater to
give way before the Government
public building program, Polls having
given way to level parkway, socn to
be Sown to grass.
Nothing now remains but one wall OF
the old Bijou Theater, which passeo
through Kaleidoscope career from It's
hey-day, when it was the ''Parlor The
ater of the National Capital" to bur-
lesoue house and bus station. All the
rest of the building, which was erected
in 1850 as a carriage factory, has been
torn; down, leaving only the big back
stage wall.
The old theater was said to have been
known by more different names than
any other theatrical enterprise In
Washington. At various times it was
called the Gymnasium, Washington
Varieties, oxford Hall, the Canterbury
Walls Opera House, Ford's Opera House
Empire, Majestic and Bijou.
The next theater to fall before the
Governments building program will be
the President, at Eleventh street and
Pennsylvania avenue.
