Under the skilled direction of the "Military Entertainment Council," Just appointed by the Secretary of War, ample provision has been made, not only to provide the leisure hours of the soldiers with fine amusement of the higher class, but also to provide a way by which every friend of the soldier and in these days and at such time these friends are legion may contribute toward the happiness of the boys in khaki. The work of entertaining the soldiers has been consolidated under the "Military Entertainment Council," of which James Couzens, of Detroit, is chairman; with Harry P. Harrison, of Chicago, as chairman of the executive committee. Under the Council, the Chautauqua tents and the Marc Klaw theaters are all to operate together, giving jiightly entertainments. They wifl hereafter be known as "Liberty tents," "Liberty auditoriums," and "Liberty theaters." The Military Entertainment Council is composed as follows: James Couzens, Detroit, chairman; F. W. Woohvorth, New York; Asa G. Candler, Atlanta; Mrs. Josiah E. Cowles, Los Angeles; W. R. Dawes, Chicago; James A. Flaherty, Philadelphia; Myron T. Herrick, Cleveland; Mrs. Howard H. Spaulding, Jr., Chicago; Otto H. Kaha, New York; Major Henry Le Higginson, Boston, and Dr. Frank TV. Gunsaulus, Chicago. Already the sixteen large "Liberty theaters, each seating three thousand men, are completed. A tentative schedule for the rotation of various kinds of entertainment has been arranged, which provides in general that there shall be one week of standard plays by nrst class companies, followed by a week of a miscellaneous program of concerts.

The third week will be devoted to vaudeville, two performances a day, and the fourth week will be another miscellaneous week. Four Broadway companies will present Broadway comeciy successes, the plays already arranged for being: "Turn to the Right," "Cheating Cheaters," "Here Comes the Bride," and "Inside the Lines." Plans are already under way for the presentation of musical comedies and light operas, those under consideration being: -The Prince of Pilsen," "The Red Mill," "The Chocolate Soldier," "Robin Hood," and the Gilbert and Sullivan productions, E. F. Albee, the well known general manager of the Keith Circuit, has arranged four special vaudeville bills whose routings through the camps will be so arranged as to prevent an unvaried succession in any camp of any one kind of entertainment. Through Harry P. Harrison, the Chautauquas have arranged to provide their best talent and most attractive features, including graphic lectures from men who have returned from "over there." The Chautauquas will also provide Jazi Bands, orchestras, the members of which will also sing and put on special stunts; historical and patriotic musical reviews and so onAll this, of course, is going to cost money a good deal of money. Take the Liberty Theaters, for instance. Their erection was paid for from appropriations by the government and supervised by the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities. Each is 120 feet wide and 179 long. Thay are built of pine boards, unpalnted, but faced with heavy building paper, making the sides wind tight. Complete ventilating systems iiave been installed and during the winter heat is supplied by steam and small stoves. Each theater has five large entrances and fifteen exits and a building, which seats comfortably 3,000 men, may be emptied in about one minute. The stage of each theater is complete and modern; sixty-five feet wide and deep enough to stage any production. The floor of the audi-

The theater is placed on the highest point in each camp and nearby are grouped the camp post office, the library and the hostesshouses, making a small town within itself. Nor is the utilitarian value of these theaters overlooked, for on the tall tower that comprises the stageloft, the training soldiers have a point of vantage for wig-wag signals, giving them practice in longdistance signalling that is sure to prove useful in the practice of actual war. Each theater is provided with a motion-picture booth, asbestos-lined, and the stage of all of them has an asbestos curtain. The lighting effects are similar to those used in city theaters. Ordinarily, the eost of operatingsuch a series of theaters, tents and auditoriums would be prohibitive.

Before the War, and Now! Before the war, we'd moving pictures every night ' Bat now, well, we are glad to go while it is light! Before the war, the streets were light as day all night But now, we're home by ten or walk in dark and quiet! Before the war, we'd all the sugar we could eat But now, to buy more than one pound Is quite a feat! Before the war, for every meal we had our meat But now, our bill of fare without it Is complete! Before the war, our surplus milk to pigs was fed But now, It's 'save the milk for babies', Hoover said. ,' Before the war, three times a day we served hot bread But now, most all our meals are wheatless so we read! But 'all is fair in love and war" is Just as true As was before we thought we'd try our bit to do; And all this sacrifice I know we'll never rue. For we are serving still our loved Red, White and Blue! E. G. HUMMERT. HELP GARFIELD! Shut off the pipes, Put out the fires. Discard the shovels and brooms; Jump into bed. Cover your head, Do no work on the looms. Shut down the shops. Stop building homes. Factories, churches and such; Close up the stores, Turn out the gas. Silence the auto's clutch. No need of schools. For awhile, or of tools. Dispense with fiddles and hoes; Garfield has smoke, He struck a good stroke, Help him throttle our foes. Purchase Thrift Stamps And Liberty Bonds This will help to buy guns; Nix on the worry. Do not mind "Newt," But assist him strangle the "Huns." A. E. Smith, 107 S. 13th. MAIL IS BURDENED. WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 Freight embargoes and weather delays to freight shipments have thrown a heavy burden on the mail service by adding thousands of tons of parcels post. Otto Praeger, second assistant postmaster general, said today that steamers were being used for the first time in carrying parcels post in an effort to forestall congestion, and that various changes in practices have been made to speed up the service. ONLY USEFUL WOMEN GO. WASHINGTON. Jan. 29. Passport regulations of the state department now permit only those American women to go abroad whose services are imperatively required by some recognized relief agency. but the managers have met with such patriotic co-operation as to put these entertainments within the reach of every soldier. Operating expense has been reduced to such a practical and patriotic basis that the actual cost of these performances to the soldiers will range from five cents to twentyfive cents a saat, with a majority at ten and fifteen cents. Even at these bedrock prices it is realized that there will be many soldiers who cannot afford to attend many performances, but even this has been provided for. The Commission on Training Camp Activities has devised a book of coupon tickets in two sizes. One book sells for $1, and contains twenty coupons good for admission; another sells for $5 and contains tickets of admission to one hundred performances. They are called "Smileage Books" and the coupons they contain are good for seats at any performance at any camp theater.

FoscUck, Chairman of the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities, is enthusiastic about this newly created entertainment plan. He writes: "I remember standing on the streets of Columbus shortly after Villa had devasted the village, watching our 5,000 soldiers come over the railroad tracks into town in the evening. There was absolutely nothing for them to do there no movies, no libraries, no place to write letters, no homes to which they could go nothing but saloons and a well-organized Red Light district. "In this war we are driving those vicious agencies out of business and setting up clean entertainment in their place. This has a direct bearing on the health of our army, and is an absolute necessity in maintaining the morale of our raen." And this testimony is amply supported by Secretary of War Baker, who, writing to Chairman Fosdick, declared: "A proper amount of clean, wholesome entertainment contributes largely to the happiness of our soldiers in camp and is fundamental in supplementing their physical and military training. "To make such entertainment readily available for all soldiers is one of the most important duties of the War Commission for Training Camp Activities, and the work must be continued and extended. "I am glad to know that all entertainment projects will be consolidated and managed directly by your Commission. "Your plan of selling Smileage Books seems to be an admirable way of financing this worthy enterprise, because it gives to the individual citizen an easy opportunity of furnishing the means for numerous good times to his soldier friends. Very truly your, (Signed) Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, So, the Military Entertainment Council, which has so successfully worked out a perfect co-ordination of all the entertainment problems at the camps, has done its. part. It will provide entertainments which, under

To make this possible the citizens do their part by providing the boys of the camps the Smileage Books that will admit them to the shows. There are sixteen theaters each seating 3,000 soldiers, nightly. This calls for 43,000 coupons f admission a night, or 336,000 eoepoas m week. Very largely, these must be the gift of the civilians to the soldiers. That is why the Military Entertainment Council looks forward to the sale of at least 1,000,000 Smileage Books when once the campaign has started. At least so many books must be sold in the week of January 28, which marks the first drive, but cereafter the Smileage Books will always be on sale and any time a stay-at-home thinks of the hard work that our boys are going through to fit themselves to fight our battles in the greatest war in history, he can purchase a book or a handful of books and send them to the nearest camp even though he hasn't a boy of his own in the service certain that he is adding to the joy o life: helping some soldiers to f;o about their work the more cheerulhy and gladly, because knowing that back of them, outside the camp, is a great body of patriotic citizenry eager and willing to do all that may be done to make the training period less arduous, less monotonous and more healthful. The sale of the Smileage Books will be carried on throughout the country. In the cities the work will have the assistance of members of the Rotary Clubs, Rotarians representing nearly fifty cities having recently met in Washington to offer their services to the Smileage campaign. In the smaller cities, towns end country districts, the work will Lave the organized assistance of the lyceun and Chautauqua managers, who are prominently represented oa the War Service Committee, of which Harry P. Harrison is executive chairman. The Committee is cooperating with the Entertainment Council in charge of the campaign for the sale of Smileage Books
