"Will lorfcit a Sixpence," Tn Ihr Eriltar of Ihr Krcnlnp I'liblic Lrrlnrr: Sir Tlie coming together of the Peace Conference which everybody was taught to look to as the dawn of a new day, exldently will not afford us that happy consummation after nil. All present signs Indicate tliat wo are Just back again wheie we stood In 1014. The war has changed nothing, settled noth ing, other than the question of who was to be boss. The net result of the war Is the changing of one set of Imperialists for an. other the Central Powers baxe glxoi way to Fngland and France hi the race for world domination, Kverythlng ()f Importance Is to be transact ed In prlxate all the scenery Is to be ar rangul while the curtain is down and the public only permitted to view the finished play, to be later entitled, "The Great Farce." All the great questions. Including the fate of Ireland and India wire settled weeks ago In the preliminary conferences held between tils time of the signing of the armistice and the President's arrival In France. That much Is more than evident. And It Is truly lifting that as a grand finale the master Imperialist In Furor should preside. When the curtain is iqi Hngland lays all tile blame for the reactionary tactics oil France, exen blames France for refusing to allow- the Lord Major of Dublin to go to Paris to see Presldmt Wilson. But England doi nothing to prevent France doing these things In fact the arrangement HtH Eng land to a nicely. The whole tiling will end In a new war a war of peoples, not a war of goxernments and then there will be an Imperial down coming, tf things turn out different. I'll for felt a sixpence. PADHAIC LAGAN. Opposes Hiplicr- Theatre Tax Tn the Killtor of the Ihcnlmj Public I.nliur: Sir The proposed Increase In taxation of 10 per cent upon the now- standing measuie of 10 per cent xvlll work a baidshlp not only on the theatre receipts, but on the public who patronize these places of entertainment. Twenty per cent Is not much in Itself to pay for one ticket In addition to the regular charge for the entertainment, but when It Is considered that the general prlie for a theatre ticket Is two iloll.u s. plus forly cents xiar tax, It xvlll mean that those who haxe been In the habit of going to the theatie xvlth their families xvlll not go so often because of the increased cost of the plcasute. If the theatres are to keep up the quality of their entertainments and the production of them. Including the high salaries now demanded by those players xvbo can tie kept on the speaking stage despite the lure of the millions to be made In the silent world of the movies, It must lie realized that further to burden the theatre patron Is folly. Tlie theatres have been doing a good busi ness and this will keep up. providing the present tax Is not Increased ; because to make the cost of entertainment higher would inrnn the return of Hie stock company and possibly poorer qu.illt.x of ncting due io the smaller audience. While playgoers In the larger cilies might he aide to afford the higher tax. It would work a hardship upon tlioe in Hie smaller cities which now are prlxlleged to haxe two or three plays a week. The cost of these productions Is much higher than those in the larger cities because of the transporta tion cost and tile hotel charges. An addi tional tax levied on tickets reduces audit nces and makes It unprofitable to lake good pro ductions to the "provinces." liegular pla (Joers xi 111 not lie aide to afford a many tickets as usual with an extra tax. The Increase in taxation at the movie houses will not be so great becaure of the smaller admission charge asked and xvllh the quality of enterlalnmtut now- given at these places there would be a marked increase In attendance at tlie expense of the legitimate drama. The theaties have supplied audiences for the four. minute men and other speakers for wartime loans and drives. Managers and actors have glx-en of their services without stint. To burden tile theatregoer Willi an Increased tax would be suicidal to the best Interests of the goxirnnient ; for the audiences would undoubtedly grow- smaller at the legitimate, playhousen. and the xery object of more revenue would be defeated. The present tax theatregoers are paving cheerfully, but It is doubtful whether they x 111 do so with further additions to the cost of theatre tickets, which hsxe nexer been so high In price. They'll simply stop going to the theatie. I'BINCK BANZA. Philadelphia. January L'rt. Tails and Longevity 7o the l.'ifHiii' of the Ihcntnri I'ublie l.edoert Sir The recent death of Horace Fletcher. who fancied that. In asciibing the larger portion of human aliments to Insulllclent mastication of foods, ho had made a pro. louno scienuuc iiiacutrr). serves to call x attention once more to tlie Innumerable tribe G of faddists who have sought to convince us that longevity Is readily attainable If one will but follow their precepts s ml accept their panaceas. s As a rule, these faddists do not attain any remarkable longevity themselves. Mr. Fletcher,' who had entered bis seventieth year, lived longer than most of them. But many thousands of men nnd women who violated his hygienic Instructions have lived as long as or longer than he. Moreover, some physicians haw asserted that Fletcher Ism was responsible for a new disease found only among Its votaries. Be that as it may, there Is not a panicle of exidence that Fletcherlsm, or any other health nostrum which the lay mind has concocted or devised, has ever lengthened the lives of any con siderable number of human brings. What tlie' laxvs governing longevity are, nobody knows: and It were advisable that xve should make frank acknowledgment of our lgnor once. ; Tlie truth Is that men haxe oflen abused their bodies unmercifully, and yet lived to a comparatively advanced ase, or even to an extremely advanced one. It Is said that Thomas Dc Quince- consumed dally a quan tity of opium sulllclent to kill seventy per sons unaccustomed to Its use. but though lie began taking opium at the uge of nineteen and kept It up throughout the remainder of his life, he lived to be seventy-four, and there la still living an American statesman, in his nlnety-llrst jear. whoso ardent con sumption of whleky for many years would haxe second to most physicians, perhaps, .to haxe promised his early extinction. There Is some reason for believing that longevity Is dependent, In the main, upon considerations of- heredity. A prominent physician, in an article contributed many years ago to the North American Bevle-w, adduced In eupport of this point of view the tale of two men, both of thein wealthy ana nticnoora to eacn otner, witn wnom he ledger-Philadelphia, -Wednesday, January Pliolo li Mrfi-i iau. MIS DOROTHY NKWltOI.I) Misi Newliold, xio i the daughter of Mr. ami Mrs. Arthur Ijnlen Ncwhohl. entertained at tlie opera Iat evening in her parents' liox . was well acquainted. The first of these had xv bat amounted to a mania for attaining old age, and to this end ho followed all the lixglinle instructions that he found written In the medical books, lie welched his food, "he took tlie proper amount of exercise, he went alwavs to bed nt tlie same hour and lose always at the same hour: he never drank or smoked: lie puruiuall.v kept nil tbn hygienic commandments. The second man was most lingular In his habits, lie nexer took any exeicls-e. lie ate Immoderately of all kinds of food, lie simked Incessantly nnd, If seldom diiink, was seldom quite sober either. Yet both of tin so men lived approxi mately to the s.une age, each of them having passed but slightly ills sixtieth jear at the time of his ditnlse. The physician's Investi gations revealed that the longevity of both nun was apparently di-tt Tin hied by the longevity of their Immediate .-incest! y. Human beings are all unique. phslnloglc.illy as well as psychologically, and when one once grasps this truth one Is not In much danger of falling a victim to any of the health faddists. On the contrary, one's view of life Is certain In he amiable, much more amiable than any health faddist's can pns. slbly be. And amiability Itself is conducive to longevity. At least It should be. If It Isn't. But then, we have Known many can tankerous people who haxe lived much longer than seemed desirable to any wlio Wert' so unfortunate as to come Into contact with them. JHUVI'.V b'ABIIN. The Spirit of France 7i Ihr Killtor Ihr Krenlnp I'ublir l.nlacr: Sir Time was nut so long ago when France was supposed lo be a decadent na lloiif and Its p'nple fiholous. fickle, even "wicked' and, because of the rnptdlx declin ing blrthiate, doomid to certain destruction How a few short but Illuminating xrars haxe changed all that and brought to light the true character of, the people and the spirit of Fiance Itsilf! Fxery one knows how- the French, with magnificent courage ami wonderful enthusi asm, went forth to meet the formidable armies of a foe that had heen pieparlng for xears to conquer the world and all the inhab itants thereof. Some thought the cotiiage and enthusi asm would die In the face of superior num bers and n policy of frlglitfulness xvhlch exen Included tile crucifixion of babies, but those xOio thought so did not jet know the spirit of France. The courage and enthusiasm of the French did not die. but constantly Increased as time passed and circumstances looked datker nnd drearier on all sides; for within the soldiers 111 the field and the people at home was the spark of inspiration which came from the spuit. and which supplied the strength ucccs-ury to ultimately van rpilsb mere brute force. The sphltual foices which cave every Ficnch soldier Inspliatlon in battle were totally lacking In tlie Get mans, although M ilhelui Hoheiunllein continually called upon God to grant victory to the blood thirsty disciples of Kitltur. The Germans thought far more of their Kultur than of the faith and Inspiration which kept up the courage of the Flench. Time proved which nation was on the toad to ruin, and all see today that tlie country which produced Joan of Aic---that remarkable example of ih'e success which attends genuine inspiration shines like a star among the nations of the earth, while the vain boasting and astounding Imnudeiice. xvlile-h relied on brute force and materialistic erman Kultur alone, has t educed Germanv to the likeness of a mud heap beside the radiance of Fiance.

Tlie agents made 18.713 visits to dumping grounds, wharves, and steamship landings, express and freight stations, poultry districts, stockyards, slaughter houses and building sections. There ate sixteen expert agents employed. The five roadsters and two electric ambulances are In almost constant use. Much of the most Important work of the Penns.vlxanl.i Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Is done with the e-o-operation of the city, State and Federal depait ments. Insanitary stabling methods, poorly constrtiited buildings which endanger the lives of animals by flic; load depression, ill-fltllng manhole covers and the like are re ported to the several bureaus. Policemen have been Instructed to prevent cruelty when possible and lo arrest I hose guilty of ll. At every sale eif horses agents of the society are present to prevent the selling of animals unfit for service. The object of tln soclftv Is prevention rather than pt uMuncut. Lectures by veter. inarlnns and practical horsemen are given to owneis eif hotses and to Boy Scouis In Ihenudltoiiuin, and school children by means of talks in the school and by reading hu mane literature are taughl the needs of dumb creatures.

Matzenauer, the Dallla. ltnth yanc their partH not only with all the vocalization re MUlred, and nt times- these requirements are Breat, but with a fervor, which, whiln In tense, was never at any time lievnntl the histrionic bounds of an opeta the underlvltiK motive of whkh, in the end. Is essentially rcllRlous. "Samson el TuKla" as a work e-otnposcd Iji tlie pure Wnirnerlan inetliod. with constantfy rei-urrlnit leit-motifs, can scarcely be said to he entirely ennv Iik'Iiir. Its charm lies not In its construction, but In Its melodies, and most of these arc. In tlie course of the work, assigned to tlieipart of Pallia. The Klnrlous voice and e.xiiulslte tutistrv of Mine. .Matze nauer, both xocal and dramatic, were never shown to better ndvaiitane In Philadelphia than last evening. The aria "Prtntetups iill Commence" at the close of the first art and the passionate love duet In the second, culmi nating tmuslcally) In the great souk. "Mnn Coeur s'ouvre a t.i Volx," gave her opportu nities to show- her full powers, which she utilized to the utmost. In the last number she had the assistance of the marvelous voice and splendid acting of Mr. Caruso and nt Its close tlie audience broke Into spontaneous applause, but the two great slngets refused to break the artistic continuity of the net by acknowledging it and the action i-onlinued without a lirenk. after an Interxnl of two nr three minutes. The part of Samson Is melodlcally Inferior to that of Dallla, as perhaps the characters of the parts in their iclatlon to each other demand In the schcnii- of the opera, but Mr. Caruso had many chances to show his great vocal and dramatic abilities throughout tlm wnik, and did so to the fullest. The part Is dlfllcult to sing and eipially illlllcult not to overact, hut Mr. Caruso met both exactions with seeming ease and again showed himself tn lie one of the greatest operatic tenors tho wot d lias ever known. Tlie other members of the cast, while taking less eons-plcuous pans-, were emi nently satisfactory, especially Mr. Couzinou as the High Priest and Mr. Mardones as the Old Hebrew. The latter showed an unusu ally fine voice of great richness, especially in tho lower tones, while the former appealed to excellent advantage In the first act, when In- curses Samson and the Hebrews, and in the dramatic duet with Dallla in the econd, when he stiengtbens her In her purpose to win the secret of Samson's pnwr. The stage sellings were worthy even of the best Metropolitan production, and were models of beauty, good taste and apparent historic truth. The Incidental dances wero exceedingly well done and the Oriental color of costumes and settings contributed not a little to tho artistic success of the perform a lice Mr. Monteuv was tn haxe conducted the opeta. but at tlie last moment he was unable to lead, owing to a severe cold, and his place was taken at xery short notice by dulio Set 1 1, the chorus master of the Metiopolltan. Mr. Settl conducted with all the nntlioritv that could be desired and showed a know I edge of the woik and of the balance of the parts and choiiis which, It may he doubted. Is exceeded even bv Mr. Monteuv. The Met ropolitan is fortunate m having In at least one of the directors f H ,.p(,.ial depart ments a man capable of i.ilung the con ductor's chair with sinh uniform knowledge, authority and good tasie as .Mr. Setti ills played last evening.
