Jealousy and Dissensions Among Mascots Struggling
for Supremacy and Affection of Company's
Actresses Create Most Grave Problem.
Professional Jealousy among two mas

now plaMng at tho Adelphl Theatre, has
given tho management much concern.
Until yi-slertlay, Jllltc, a mongiel tur

"There was to be a closed session o'

lettln' riot an' battle reign, jour honor,
to have that there mectln" go on tomor

"Newt Bull sent out dokyments to the
members o' the board askln' 'em to
make up their minds on what a bone

ho meant It harmless nn' peaceful, but
It ain't been so. His own brothers, tho

"Then there's Sol Specimen, only new

State Senator Spioul Robbed
CHESTER, Pa., March 15. Thieves
entered Senator William C. Sproul's
country place, Lapldea Manor, yesterday
and stola several suits of clothes, hlB
gold watch and 120. A mnn formerly em
ployed ty tho Senator Is suspected of
Knowing something about the robbery,
and tho polico nro looklnc for him.
Hut thero came a minute when ho want
ed more than the blossom he wanted
some ona to look at the blossom he had
made some one to enjoy and smell and
love It with him.
So ha watched carefully and ere Ions
he heard a fairy passing by. "Fairy!" he
called In his soft llttte voice; "fairy! conic
hero and see what I have made'"
The fairy obligingly Hopped and looked
at the blossom; she loved and admired it
till even Johnny-jump-up was satisfied.
He smiled and dimpled and was as happy
as a king.
"I've been working a long time to make
that flower.'' he explained to the fairy;
"tho very first flower of the spring Is al
ways the hardest to make. I 'spect that
Is the reason I always lova that flower tho
best; don't you suppose so?"
Tho fairy thought It very likely and
told him so; then she added: "But why
don't you make a longer stem for It? That
stem Is so tiny nobody can possibly see
It. and that's too pretty a flower to bloom
"It Isn't unseen," replied Johnny-Jump-un
sturdily; "I ee It," . . , .
Tn ha aurc," said the fairy laughingly;
"but It Is o prett everybody ought to
see It-tbey'd feel betMr tor their work
If they did."
"I expect they would." answered Johnny-jump-up
pleasantly! "I know 1 do. But,
you we, there are no people around in
(h woods yet; It's too early In the
SPTlf'fI: that." said the fairy gaily. And
what do you suppose she did?
That very night she wnt Into the city
the great bis working clty-and, she
slipped from house to house, from sleeper
to sleeper, and every place, she went she
left a dream-a beautiful fresh dream of
" And when the people, the working clty
Dsoole waked up the, next morning, what
drlypu appose was the first thing they
thought ill? Their dream, of coVe! Their
AntbveryVmd they could they

And they found Johnny-Jump-up and his
bsom-aPd everybody Iwd happily, in-
He nlso trlid to take tho original Mike's
placo In the nficctlons of Florence Mar
tin, the star of the company. Hut Miss
Martin spurned his advances and remain
ed loyal to the first Mike. The second
Mlko couldn't control his Indignation and
10 demanded nn explanation from the
''rst Mike, which ended in a hatllo ionl.
Incidentally. Pet, a fluffy lapdog. owned
by Alma Toll, another actress, took sides
with tho original Mike. Now each llmo

GERMANY WILL WIN,
SAYS FRANK HARRIS
English Author Thinks Allies'
Commanders Incompetent.
Defends "Allemagne."
"Germany will win. As somebody hai
said. If you were watching two crews In
a rncc, with tho eight men In each bo.it
apparently evenly matched plslcnlly, yet
you knew that in one of the boats ouch
of the eight men would break every blood
vessel In his body to bo first across the
finish line, which crew would you bet on?"
Such Is the view of tho Kmopcan situ
ation expressed by Frank llairis, Irish
man, former editor of tho Evening News,
Fortnightly Review and Saturday Review,
in England, and now a resident of France
He is one of England's noted men of lcl
teis and In an nitlclc In a newspaper in
this country iccently he made the state
ment that tho Allies wero hopelessly han
dicapped by tho mediocrity of their com
manders. Tho statement caused consid
erable comment. Mr. Harris Is a con
firmed ladlcal In his literary as well as
his political beliefs and ho was In Phila
delphia to explain his Shakespearean
thcoiles In a lecture nt Bryn Mawi Col
lege. "What can you expect," ho told u re
porter, "of a nation shackled by nn ai
chalo social system such ns England's?
England, a country which, following an
absurd theory of primogeniture, concen
trates Its wealth and Influenco In nn nris
tocracy of idlers that believe a man Is
disgraced who works. It's horrible.
"How can jou make a comparison with
Germany' They have tho right Idea
there. Tako just tho matter of educa
tion, Germany turns out from her uni
versities 100,000 men a cnr. You hnvo
got to amount to something to hold your
own under competition such ns that.
They havo an aristocracy, yes. But your
noblo oftener than not Is a poor man.
Ho Is content and happy, and eager to
repay his country for what sho has dono
for him In education and training, and
will to that end servo her In time of
stress, for little pay, In any way ho can,
whether It bo as citizen or soldier. A
war Is not won by numbers, oiduance or
resources, hut by tho spirit of a nation's
people. That Is why Germany Is whero
she Is today.
"When your German soldier hobbles off
a train minus a leg or an arm, how does
his mother or wife or sweetheart greet
him? 'congratulations.'
"Congratulations for a disfigurement In
the servlco of tho fatherland. That is
Germany.
"As to the present situation and futurn
developments'' Well, for eight months
Germany has held back the Russian forces
In the east and sent aid to Austila. In
tho west they have the better position on
conquered soil all along the line. What
has been dono will be done. I say."
"Just what Is your opinion of the vicious
views on the war expressed bv the lead
ing literary men of England, such as
Wells, Shaw, Klpllns and the rest?" Mr.
llanls was asked.
"A great deal of the work Is clever, but
the significant feature of all of It Is the
Ignorance of tho real Germany, uney
don't know whereof they speak."
Mr Harris lived In America for six
years "during the late seventies. He
spent a similar length of time in Ger
many and has visited and lived In al
most vry country In Europe and Asia.
The greater part of his life ho has spent
In France, where he has lived off and on
for twenty-five years. He Is ono of the
greatest living short story writers and is
ona of the most noted contemporary
critics.
Ills library vlws are novel and Inter
esting. Mark Twain, he says, was simply
facetious rMher than humorous and waa
many times excelled In his own line by
Dickens. Longfellow Is npt so good as
the better newspaper poets Tennyson
spoiled and acclaimed out of all due pro
portion to his worth. Keats, he thinks,
Is the greatest of English poets. As to
novelists, Mr, Harris hands the) palm
for all time to Balzac rating second only
to him the American David Graham

The ippnrt points out In this connection
that B of the 11 States now having
cold stoinge laws have lived 12 months

rest of the States the time limit Is less.
As to the effect of the cold stornne
warehouses on the price, of foodstuffs, the
repoit states fnat the' accumulation of
food products In cold storage during tho
season of excess products Is virtually
exhausted before the next .cnon of
"flush" begins nnd that tho ability to
carry gnodi In cold storage from the
periods of sientest production to tho
ipiiod of shoitage adds to the food sup

Cupid at Work
That Cupid sometime.) lurks In Uio ex
hibition rooms of film exchanges has
been proved by tho announcement of the
engagement of II. C. Mason, assistant
secretary ot the National Hoard ot Cen
sorship, to Miss Mary Hazard, a mem
ber of one of tho censoring committees.
Mr. Mason has a committco nt the
Pa tho Exchange, 115 Fast 23d street,
Now York, one day each week to view
tho Patho releases. Until Miss Hazard
was assigned to this committee, only sev
eral months ago, the two were strangers.
However, ns they sat side by side and
saw endless heroes making love to end
less heroines on tho screen saw also
how almost Invariably It wns a case of
"and then they got mnrilcd and lived
happily ever after" gradually they found
thnt lovo on the screen wns finding an
echo In their lieatts.
It Is fiiiil that Mr. Mason absent-mindedly

blanks tho other day ns follows and sent
it in to Patho.
"Tho majority comment on your plctuie
'I.nvc,' a featuro bortnl to run Indefinitely
and to bo released under the 'Cupid'
brand. Is as follows:
"Kducatlonnl: Immense It discloses
now worlds.
"Artistic value; Superb exerts a potent
softening and humanizing effect.
"Entertainment x'alue: Orcat an effec

"Moral effect: Most noteworthy. Have

upon to film lions, tigers, bears, leopards
and other pets, and they should always

possible.
Well-grounded education In aeronau

casions the camera man will be urged to
take pictures from an airship or a bal
