Regarding the United Statee. The official summary of the declakms

of the Interallied war conference includes the following under the block-

ade section:

”1. The proposed arrangement between the United States and Switzerland submitted to the conference waa

unanimously approved.

“2. The United States will ap- » delegate to take part In the deliberations of the permanent international contingents committee and in those of the Interallied committee at

Berne."

WASHINGTON, December 5.—The state department was today without official advices of the foregoing decisions of th# interallied conference today, but It was assumed that the arrangement* between Switzerland and the United States referred to tonnage and food shipments. For many weeks a commissioner of that government has been negotiating with the war trade board here regarding the character of supplies that may be imported by Switzerland and their subsequent disposition. The state department waa without Information of the interallied committee

at Berne.

It is understood, however, in other quarters that the whole arrangement provides for the rationing of Switzerland through an international committee which will have its headquarters at Berne. . * - — MAN POWER CONSIDERED.

United States to Be Represented on Permanent Committee. LONDON, December 5.—Consideration of the question of man power for the prosecution of the war was one of the important matters taken up by the interallied conference in Paris, it became known today, when the official summary of the results of the conference w’as made public. In the permanent committee which will handle this problem the United States will be represented, it having been decided by the conference that the United States should appoint delegates to take part in the deliberation of the committee. , No Choice Made by Daniels.

The outstanding impression after attending "Her Soldier Boy," a Shubert musical piece, which began an engagement at the Murat last nighL Is one of regret at the unkindness of theatrical fates which permits Incomparably less entertaining pieces to linger here a week and hustles this one away after three performances. More thoroughly and evenly enjoyable entertainment of the musical comedy class is too much to be hoped for. Not great by any means. It Is nevertheless so much above the average of its class that it to diffl cult not to use superlatives. Ths music, by Emmerich K&lman, of "Sari” memory.

entertainment.

Attention is diverted from the comings and goings of the chorus long enough to tell a real story. The prologue shows a scene in n trench where a soldier Is supposedly killed. His comrade in arms goes to acquaint his blind mother with his death. When he arrives at the mother's home he is mistaken for the son, who has been absent for many years, and. urged on by an amiably Jmpudent Arrerican war correspondenL be decides to keep up the deception until his regiment shall leave, to spare the mother’s feelings. He falls in love with the sister and a sudden realization of reciprocal affection on her part reveals the deception. A regulation musical comedy ending is supplied with the return of the son, who hadn’t been killed at all,

but left for dead.

Humor—and prettv fair humor it is— is provided by the American war correspondent and his "man,” an oversize Englishman, who carries the luggage. The original is said to be by victor Leon, author of "The Merry Widow,” but it has been pretty thoroughly Americanized by Rida Johnson Young in the

assigned to the supreme interallied naval committee announced from Paris. Mr. Daniels gave the impression, however, that Admiral Benson would not be detached from his present post as chief of operations, as he is needed urgently at home, particularly in view of the fact that he is informed as to the views of the admiralties of the powers associated with the United States In the

war.

uses Barrie to back her up. The Scotch playwright recently voiced the gallant contention that the best age of a woman is forty years, or. as he described it, “forty and bittock.” a bittock meaning a wee bit more. Miss Robson comes to English's tomorrow night in the role of an old-fashioned woman who changes her husband s views regarding her. A performance of the melodrama, "A Little Girl in a Big City,” will be given at the Park Friday morning for the benefit of the Red Cross in observance, with all other local theaters, of the national Red Cross theater day. Oliver Moroaco’s production of “The

Brat,” written by Mauds Fulton, onetime partner of William Rock, of the team of Rock and Fulton, will be the attraction for the Murat for the week beginning Monday evening. December 10. Miss Fulton also has the unusual distinction of playing the title role in her own piece. The company Includes* the original Morosoo theater’s New York cast and production intact. Cato S. crook in " or! had a little experience with crooks In real life, while playing in St Louis two weeks ago. He was held up while on

his way from th# theater to the depot Saturday night; and relieved *of a bank role of 11,080. The footpads refused to take his watch because of a lodge inslgna on It. Keith believed that because of this the holdup men were inclined to be a trifle kind-hearted, so he asked them to leave him enough money to buy his railroad ticket to Chicago. His request met with a volley of curses and abuse, and as the men started away one of them pressed the trigger of his revolver, with the remark: “Here’s a kiss for you, —you!" They ran down some railroad tracks, leaving the actor dazed and bewildered. The bullet

from the revolver Just grazed him. He made his way back to the theater and borrowed enough money to buy his

ticket.

"I’ve been playing stage crooks for a good many years," says Keith, who used to be at the head of his own stock company, and who is the author of a half dozen or more successful vaudeville playlets dealing for the most part with ths sordid side of life from a humorous

standpoint, “but these 8t. Louis chaps gave me a mighty keen insight as to what constitutes the difference between

the stage bad man and the genuine ar-

ticle."
