XXXVI -LAFAYETTE, WE'RE MERE1" At last, however, destiny takes unto herself the lineaments of justice. At last It seems as If the whole earth were rising against such tyranny and injustice. All the nations not yet under the yoke fall in behind the Fjldiers of liberty, who, encouraged by the generous enthusiasm of America, are finally on the vray to securing the, -welfare of the -vrorld. Already the emperor of Austria, the serf, and the Kins of Bulgaria, the Talet, have thoughts of scuttling to cover at the very first premonitory sign of catastrophe. The iron hand of Germany, which drove the old emperor of Austria to war, does not loosen its frrip on the young Austrian monarch he who has since died. But ominous and crumbling sound3 announce to the German emperor the weakness of his throne. Already he has sounded the good will Nof the Holy See In a ridiculous interview, which he narrates himself in his memoirs. Already he has turned to America, and after Riving evasive answers to President Wilson when the - latter asked in January, 1917, that the helli?erents declare thir war aims, he has been reduced to countering the honest replies of the Entente with a miserable and flat statement, lie did not realize that, in so doing:, ho disconcerted the chief mag

istrate of America and the entire American people, lover3 of frankness, who had remained unmoved by, and deaf to, the fantastic lures of Ambassador Bernstorff. Stupid German pride, as always, tinder-estima-tion of human worth, ignorance of what an untrammeled human will can Go! Can America cross the seas and defy the submarines, whose exploits the kaiser, gloating over so many massacres, dares extol in his memoirs? Can Wilson cause men to spring up; can the pouring torrent of man-power be fed from such distant affluents? After all, Wilson must be merely striking an attitude, making a gesture! That i3 what the kaiser said to himself iu 1917. Well, it was a gesture that Wilson's hand made, but in that hand there was a sword! Germany's Ignorance of America. ..The kaiser and his government failed utterly to understand America, despite the fact that, among those inhabiting it, were millions or German .subjects, emancipated by American Jaws, purified by the healthy air of freedom. There are different ways of explaining this monstrous ignorance. At the beginning of the war, during the first days of August, 1314, Theo dore oosevelt, that noble and great soldier of the rights of humanity, the citizen of the. universe, received, at his Oyster Bay home, a visit from an official of the German embassy, who had traveled from Washington. "By order of His Mejesty the Ger man Emperor, said this official, "I have come here to recall to you that war has been declared. My master hopes that you will remember that you have been his guest." Roosevelt replied carelessly: "Yes, my memory is faithful. I remember that I was the guest of his majesty the emperor. But I also remember that I was the guest of his majesty the king of the Belgians."

Xi Having received that slap, the Ger-

man official departed Some years later, the German Under Secretary of State Zimmerman, joking with Ambassador Gerard, who had come (It was in 1917) to get his passports, said: "Five hundred thousand Germans, living in America, will cause you trouble." "We have five -hundred thousand lamp-posts to which we' can hang them." answered the American, sure of his countrymen. And Ambassador Berns-torff added to the total of all these foolishnesses by his awkward acts. This sort of anecdote does not suffice to explain the tremendous outbursts of enthusiasm, sweeping on ward like a hurricane, from the Pa cific to the Atlantic, and thence to Kurope, nevertheless, such tales should be retained in memory. Whence Came Enthusiasm in U. S. In 1917 I had the opportunity, side by side with Marshal Joffre. to witness the vast wave of enthusiasm which shook the American cities, whence arose a tumult of voices iike the grim song of the legions of lberty. Was this due to some casual whim? When President Wilson was elected, America's entry into the war was far from being an item of the program. But the cruel duration of the war in Europe, the havoc which it caused even in the remotest lands, the sight of liberty beins torn to pieces in its struggle against autocracy all these things inspired in America that imperious question .launched in December, 1916: "You

ffliave been lighting

for three years. Why?" - The Allies answered, as is well known, by honest statements, repudiating all odiou3 war aims. Germany, though, pretended not to understand, refused to answer, and shrank from entering into debate. From that moment judgment was passed upon her it was she who had begun the war. With incomprehensible blindness to realities Germany watched the evolution of the American soul. Whence came, from the month of

December, 1916, onward, spreading over the vast expanse of the American continent, that revolution of soul which caused the uprising of the civic cohorts of America, transformed so rapidly to to battalllons of combatants? Of course, the propaganda conducted by President Wilson was without an equal for daring and skill. And, every time that he spoke, with his eyes fixed on the vast horizon of the world, he spoke La the pure' and noble accents of democracy. Of course, from the very first days of the war, America had given us proof of her fraternal affection? she had sent some of her sons Into the perils of war; she had succored our sons on the battlefields. Never will anybody in France forget that magnificent outburst of gener-' osity the memory or which breathes again In the history of every one of our campaigns. But the remoteness of the war, the effacing of the sounds of battle by distance, and, particularly, the tradition of political isolation incarnated by Washington and Monroe, kept many Americans though not all of thorn far from the fighting. The main motive which brought America into the war was democracy democracy, a living thing in England, a symbol of which France is the incarnation; democracy which means respect for civic rights; which is the basis of tha Italian constitution; democracy, that noble goal which all of us seek when we stand up in defense of our rights. All this was revealed clearly to Americans of all parties, Republicans as well as Democrats.! Economic catastrophe, growing every j day more menacing, was advancing! upon the world. There was no power j on earth which could answer for the solidarity of humanity. And, moreover, in that deadly duel in which blood fast flowing gin the holy cause ! iu which Lafayette, UeGrasse and Rcchambeau had risen to greatness, who could be absent without turning a deaf ear to the voice of the world's con science?. "Thank British and French Honor!" From the moment that America realized that the world's conscience was affected, that it might be struck down, that autocracy might stride forward to triumph, it was a foregone conclusion that she would rush into the battle. She understood, ehe rose, so that 60on the vast ocean seemed no more than a river. "Tell the German ambassador to thank British honor and French honor when he has left our territorial waters." That was the farewell of Mr. Wilson to the German ambassador, conveyed to the latter by Robert Lansing, when he turned over to the ambassador his passports. What infuriated America was the German government's refusal in 1916 to give a straightforward answer to the formal request addressed to the belligerents by Mr. Wilson. Distrust grew apace, and it was even greater at the time of the armistice, when the kaiser and his chancellor, Prince Max of Baden, tried to enter into discus sions. It was borne in upon them that they were not wanted and they were compelled to betake themselves out of the way not, however, until they had previously adhered to the famous Fourteen Points. This adhesion, made insincerely by Germany, was merely a ruse. Germany thought that, during the days of the armistice, or at the opening of peace discussions she might arouse differences among the allies. In fact, the program of Mr. Wilson never bound anybody but the Allies and hinieelL And it may well be said that the peace treaty, in so far as it could, solving as it did insurmountable difficulties, applied the Wilsonian ideas. The theory of mandates, that noble guardianship which rescued emanci pated populations from the oppression of Germany in order to place them under the protection of the League of Nations, is an institution worthy of praise. I may add that the Germans, who, in their accusations, reproach Mr. Wilson and the Allies for not having applied the Fourteen Points to the treaty of Versailles are either deceiv ing themselves or mixing things us There are principles contained in the speeches of Mr. V llson f or, instance, in his celebrated Mount Verrion speech which are not to be found in the Fourteen Points, with which the Germans seek to mix them. Democracy Bound to Win. A war into which an entire nation rushed with all its courage aflame, fighting disinterestedly because its conscience so willed, was bound to change in its aspect. At last fate had been mastered! Well had they stood their ground, those first soldiers of 1914 and 1915, those soldiers who fought in mud and snow, who did not despair, who lent courage to ail the world! To them should the thought of the survivors be consecrated! This war illustrated the words of Tocqueville, who, because he had lived long in America, was better acquainted than the men of his day with the resources available to democracy: "In a war," he said, "between auto cracy and democracy, democracy, if she does not succumb in the first shock of battle, will win the victory." What an admirable and just eulogy of that moral courage which breaks down the strength of the strong! (To be continued) ius, and for pain in general.

MURRAY VAUDEVH.LE Chief vaudeville honors for the present bill at the Murray theatre go to O'Neil Sisters and Benson. The ability of the girls (who, by the way, have been here before, without Benson) la more than the ordinary. Theirs Is not the plain singing or dancing act without producing something, as Is so often the case with girl teams. These two girls have personality, artistic ability and an extremely attractive line of songs. Benson, the pianist for both, and husband of one, is a valuable addition to the offering. Frances Kennedy is not successful because of her voice or beauty, but in spite of It Managing the monologue theme, dealing with current news events and happenings, Miss Kennedy proves delightful to all who are enticed into her manner and humor. All others are free to become critical. Her "line" has elements of the risque. & A novelty offering is to be found in Van and Belle. The woman mem ber of the team straggles on to the stage in a burlesque manner, and, as near as one's after-memory can dictate, her first public act is to laugh. Then it's a succession of laughs, and imitations from the 'male member of the company.

He was born in Sacramento, Calif., and began his operatic work in 1879. He has sung in various roles in mast of , the light operas of the past three decades, appearing in near ly every city and town in the country. He also played in "The Chorus Lady" with Rose Stahl for a season. In "Watch Your Step" Julien Josephson s small town comedy, which is playing at the Murray theatre, Mr. Rattenbury is the village officer to the life.

MURRETTE To engage yourself as transportation expert to a film company and then become the sole actor in one of the biggest dramatic moments in a great mo tion picture success is the achievement of Roger J. Manning, who plays the role of Lester Wells in "Brawn of the North," the Laurence Trimble-Jane Murfin production starring Strongheart, a First National attraction, which Is being shown at the Murrette .i ... - menu c Manning, who had considerable war experience in the transportation corps, was engaged by Mr. Trimble to look after the transportation of the wolves, sledge dogs and other animals which were necessary for the filming of 'Brawn of the North." That was his job and he had no ambitions for any acting part until he heard that Mr. Trimble was having some trouble in getting an actor to play the part oi Lester Wells. The fact that Wells falls into a river and is 'drowned after he has been fatally "wounded, and that this action was slated to be turned in the snow country with the temperature well below zero, was an indication to most actors that there might . be an easier job. Manning volunteered to play the part. He admitted that he had been an actor on other occasions and was certain he could holdup his end in the fist fight which precedes the drowning. He also knew that he wasn't ACTRESS TELLS SECRET Tells How to Darken Gray Hair With a Home-Made Mixture. Joicey Williams, the well known American actress, recently made the following statement about gray hair and how to darken it with a homemade mixture: "Anyone can prepare a simple mixture at home that will gradually darken gray, streaked or faded hair and make it soft and glossy.

VICTORY THEATRE, DAYTON One of the most important announcements of the theatrical season is the engagement of Robert B. Mantell and Genevieve Hamper, who will appear at the Victory theatre, Dayton, for three nights and a Saturday matinee, beginning Thursday, Jan. 25, in a series of Shakespearean plays. It has been several years since this noted tragedian has appeared in Dayton, but those who recall his splendid performance know full well the treat in store for them. His opening bill will be the widely discussed "Merchant of Venice." This probably is the best known of all poetic dramas, and as Shylock Mr. Mantell infuses dignity into the Jew, who broods over the persecutions and the wrongs of his race. Miss Hamper Plays Portia with much skill and charm, and, as the woman jurist, does J an enecxive rendition of the "Quality of Mercy" speech. On Friday evening "Macbeth" will be given, with Mr. Mantell in the name part. This is said to be the swiftest moving of Shakespeare's plays. In this character he a pears as no mere villian, but as a man obsessed, a mind diseased and a victim of ambition. Miss Hamper throws all her emotional power into her impersonation of the wicked Lady Macbeth.
