J0Bfr GOSSIP .AflOtfT7 PEOPLE
! fraicv fPvnnc TcMs y4bout A7ws Sonlie Norris's Talk nt Rml
Cross Meeting Miss Latta and Mr, Armbrmtcr
to Have Joint Recital
w T STOPPED In to hear Sophlo Norrls yes
r terday afternoon at the Independence
BQuary Auxiliary of the Red Crosa, and I
found her most fascinating and lnte-est-Ing.
She told of her experiences with the
Red Cross and the "Y" In France, working
, at canteens and talcing charge of them.
She described the first American canteen
at Chalons. Did you know that It was
decorated by camouflago artists and sculp
tors who were stationed at Chalons mak
ing camouflage for guns and airplane
hangars? The walls wore done In blue
stripes with conventional designs of golden
fruit, and as Sophlo described It-It sounded
awfully attractive.
I'd like to tell you all about her talk, be
cause It was so real. She gave an amusing
description of her first attempt at making
. cookies for -the men In her own canteen,
that is, the one she was in charge of. She
said she had never made them before in
her life and she "had an awful time, and
they were perfectly terrible when they
were finished. But she put them on sale
as American cookies, and the men bought
them by the hundreds and cried for more.
Arid the next time she had better luck. It
gives you a rather awed and envious feel
ing to hear a girl like that telling about the
terrors of air raids, the plight of refugees
and the touching Joy of American soldiers
when they saw an American girl. Incl
dentally, you can't blame them for being
glad to see Sophie, for she certainly Is
good-looking In that uniform with the light
blue'hat.
YOU know Elizabeth Latta and Ilobert
Armbruster are going to have another
Joint recital this year. It's to be at tho
Itlts on Monday afternoon, and you never
heard of so many patronesses. Those two
young people do splendid work together
and-theyhave been wise enough to com
bine for these affairs. They made their
debut tho same year at one of Tony Bid
die's concerts and quite brought down the
house, and they have been' pleaslijg every
one ever slnco and aro always asked to
help' the charities along. On Monday after
noon some" of tho women who are Inter
ested are Mrs. Standlcy Addlcks, Mrs. Dob
son Altemus, Mrs. Louts Benson, Miss
Mary Buckley, Mrs. BlUIe Clothler.-MIss
Helen Coatcs, Mrs; Robert Downing, Mrs.
Henry Grove, Mrs. Scammon-Jones, who,"
by the way, taught Elizabeth to sing; Mrs.
Clifford Lewis and her daughter-in-law,
Mrs. David Lewis; Mrs. William Piatt
Pepper, Mrs. O. E. Pescardl, Mrs. Sydney
Emlen Hutchinson, Mrs. Frank T. Patter
son, Mrs. Ell Kirk Price, Mrs. Horatio
dates Lloyd and I Just can't begin to tell
you all of thoso who are Interested In tho
recital. Of course, Elizabeth will 6lng and
Robert will play.
TONIGHT, you know, there's the Night
In Bohemia and the Midnight Frolic at
the Bellevue. That Is the Pen and Pencil
ri-n..K afTa!,- vi ktlrtW. RTlA It fiOUnds Oil If
It would be quite some affair. A number
of prominent E. A.'s are to bo there In the
boxes, as well as Governor and Mrs. Sproul
and Major General MenOher, of tho Rain
bow Division, and Mrs. Mcnoher. ,
ISN'.T It interesting about Madeleine Dahl
gren's engagement to Reginald Town
send? It was announced yesterday In New
Tork.. They aro both In Paris working for
tho Red Cross, you know, but they cabled
tho news to Mrs. Dahlgren and asked her
to announce It. The engagement Is spe
cially Interesting here,for Mrs. Dahlgren
was a Droxel and Is a daughter of tho late
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Drexel, of this city,
and a niece of the late Anthony J. Drexel
and Frank Drexel. She is a sister of the
late Mrs. Charles Penrose, of this city, and
of Mrs. Seton Henry, who was Joscphlno
Drexel, and of Mrs. Harry Lehr, of Balti
more and New Tork.
Madeleine went overseas last November,
I believe, and did hospital and ambulanco
work for the Red Cross, having had ex
i perienco on this side. Her dance, who Is
the son of tho James Bliss Townscnds, of
New York, went over In June, also with tho
Red Cross. He's a Princeton man, class of
1912. Madeleine's various Bisters are Kath
arine, who is Mrs. Richard Smith Emmet,
of New Tork; Ulrica, who is Mrs. John
Flavel Hubbard, wife of Captain Hubbard,
U. S. A., of New Tork, and Olga, who Is
still Miss Dahlgren;
VIRGINIA and Jack were talking. And
Virginia being four and Jack six, little
sister Is, very apt to ask big brother tho
causo of tho reason why of many things.
Spmo one had been reading to them a
weo Jingle In which duels wcro spoken of.
Later In the day Virginia was heard to
approach Jack and remark, "What's a duel,
Jackie?" "It's -a oh, It's why, it's a fight
between two men,", said brother. "A ft It?
Oh, what do they fight with, their hands?"
"No, Glnla, they fight with swords."
"Swords! . What's a sword. Jack?" "A"
sword? Why, It's "a long thing, It's a
well, it's a thing they used beforo they
had rolling pins."
What do you think Is the story back of
that explanation? I'd like to know, wouldn't
you? NANCY WYNNE.

sentiment expressed. No coprleht matter will

To the Editor o the Evening Public l.nlaer:
Sir Just a word of appreciation of Chris
topher Morley's splendid travel nrtlclo on
"Little Itnly." I particularly nppreclatc the
sentiment of tho last paragraph. Yes, they
aro to be congratulated for coming here, and
America congratulated for opening her arms
to them nnd her opportunities.
They come from a heavenly climate nnd
most beautiful surroundings sunshlno nnd
laughter, the grapes, the pomegranates nnd
tho almond. As to Mr. Morley's inlsglxinKS
as to whether they are losing more than
they arc to gain In this great land of op
portunity, that will depend entirely on the
treatment they receive at tho hands of their
hostess America.
You must admit that we aro jURt be
ginning to discover the "Italian" and that
we arc Just beconilngsensltlvc to the worth
of their emigration. Indeed, very few like
Mr. Merley have gone, down Into tho Italian
Quarters and have been big enough to push
aside the screen of dirt on tho surface (which
our city fathers allow) nnd peer Into the real
life of a people who are and arc going to
bo more and more one of the biggest nssets
lo our national life. Mcdesty forbids me to
dwell too much on this, as I nm-peaklng of
the people and the country that gave me
birth, but as an American of Italian birth
and as one living here since childhood, having
witnessed this gradual awakening on the
part of you true Americans of longer resi
dence. It gave me the greatest delight to read
the splendid article. "Little Italy." a real
appreciation cf a frugal, good and kindly
people. NICOLA D'ASCENZO.
Philadelphia, February 21.
As to Alien Tongues
To the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir If the bill Introduced In the House by
Mr. Walker, of Philadelphia, "Providing, for
publication of official advertising In Italian
and Yiddish newspapers In cities where there
are 40,000 persons speaking these languages,"
should pass the Legislature, at Harrlsburg.
It menns that tho two nationalities spoken of
will be encouraged In Ignoring the English
language. The L'nlled States Government
has been unable to thoroughly Americanize
the foreigners where they are In colonies, es
pecially the older ones. lis they are satisfied
to use only their own language as long as
they can get along with that.
Tho time has come when wc rami Impress
on the minds of these forelgn-spenklng peo
ples, and they In turn must recognize tho
fact that they wishing to do business In
this country must conduct It In the lnngunge
of this country. Sttps should be taken to
compel all foreigners of adult age. not speak
ing English, to attend night school where
they will bo taught to read, write and speak
English and the fundamental principles of
American citizenship. If employers would
not employ any non-English speaking labor
unless they attend night school the ques
tion of Americanizing the foreign element
among us elll In a few years be a thing
of tho past.
If this Idea Is carried out tho foreign
speaking people themselves would soon come
to realize, that It Is for their benefit as well
as for 'tho country.
The writer would IIUo to know of tho Hon.
Mr. Walker, who Is a public servant of the
citizens of Philadelphia, whether ho Is work
ing for the Interest of the foreign-speaking
people residing in tho Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania or for tho welfare of Penn
sylvanla. I waht to see all churches, fraternal orders,
women's clubs, patriotic organizations and
individuals, who hac been talking of Ameri
canism nnd about Americanizing the foreign
speaking people In our midst, to end their
protest against thli bill being enacted.
Let us have editorial comments In tho
newspapers on this bill, as the writer fully
realizes that the newspapers are, to a cer
tain extent, the molders of publlo opinion.
Wo trust and bcllee they are always ready
to do anything In their power that will help
to Amerlcanlzo the' foreign-speaking people
residing In our midst.
Why not call a mass-meeting and send in
a public protest against this un-American
bill. ROYAL C STEPHENS.
Philadelphia, February 22.
Great to Be Crazy
To the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir The fellow who first said "Gee, ain't
It great to be crazy," would certainly bo

For Instance at almost the very hour that
a Democratlo Senator was speaking In the
United States Senate, attacking the proposed
plan for a league of nations, for which a
President elected on a Democratic ticket has
been largely responsible, and. propounding to
the world at large the stirring question of
"Shall wo surrender with the pen what
Washington gained by the sword?" at al
most the very moment that this clarion In
terrogation was being sounded the Repub
llran Governor of the state that Is the very
keystone of Republicanism, was declaring In
equally clarion tones; "It Is liAd to And
anything Inconsistent with Washington's
position in our present undertaking," and

Do Not Trust the Germans
To the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger:
slrA lengue of nation-) depending on
moral suat-lon and on tho honor mark the
word of German war leaders, were a Joke,
were It not seriously spoken and advocated In
high Places. It Is Inconceivable that a hor
Hbly burnt child should so llttlo drvnrt the lire.
All the world has proof In sad and desolato
homes that German war lenders have no
honor and only await tho chance nnd are
working plainly to order more atrocious and
horrible things tomorrow.
German war workers and war lords are the
guilty parties nnd they should be pu-.ilshed.
at least. Interned for this generation until
their underlings are tnught to think in differ
ent terms than thieving nnd looting und rap.
ing tlielr neighbors.
If they were put in the Lusltanla und tor'
ptdoed It would bo a good lcsou for future
would-be German war leaderc, or sunk In
one of their own submarines or blindeil by
tholr own gas or liquid fire. None of these
war workers, the chiefly guilty nnd dangerous
parties, aro harmed. They wcro ulunyslii tho
safety zono ordering atrocious deeds dono by
others.
And so long as they live and aro free tnly
will seek Just such results only by moro hor
rible methods. Our only present and future
safety Is to mete out fitting and proper
punishment to the war lords.
The fear of coming future war by embit
tering and offending Is German propaganda
or the cheap and cowardly talk of a weal;
Judge fearing to paps a Just sentence, tney
nre now Just as actively striving for Russia
as they w ere for France and Belgium Until
tho makers of this war nre lassoed and cor
raled and German domination driven out of
Russia wc aro in a greater danger than eer
before.
To punish the perpetrators of the war and
to drive German wnr makers out of Russia
la our only safety. Even destrojlng tnclr
fortifications and occupying their munition
plants und policing with a largo force are
futile measures unless the ringleaders aro
sentenced to life imprisonment or the death
penalty. Just as they meted out death to our
Innocent Lusltanla victims.
Incldentnlly the German people would know
and appreciate that they were whipped, to
their own great benefit and to th" everlast
ing benefit of all the world. , E. C T.

NEWS OF THE MOVIES: iv
SCENARIO TO THE SCREEN
"What Shall Wc Do With Him?"'
to Be Answered by Local
Film Fans
One of tho problems of the Peace Confer,
enco will be the final punishment for th
Kaiser. The question, "What Bhalt We Do
With Him?" Is join to be put up to the local
movlo fans by the several theatre manafers,
who are coin to exhibit a motion picture
In the near future which should be of great
interest to everybody. In an Interview with
Jny IJmanuel, the local representative of
tho World rictures, he said that the publlo
should decide this question, and ho prepared "
a few questions for them to answer.
If you could have your way about It, what
sort of a fate would you mete out to tho
ex-Knlser?
Do you think he should be plaecd In
Cairo nnd exhibited throughout tho world7
Or do you think that he ought to ba placed
In solitary confinement In one of his own
evil prison camps?
Or should ho be placed on some lonely
Island and left there to die In the way that
Napoleon was treated?
You will see a vitally Interesting motion
picture, "What Shall We Do With Him?"
and you will be given the opportunity of
reglsterlna; your vote In the matter.
ThN picture Is not a war picture. It Is a
timely, Interesting presentation of the biggest
problem facing the world today. It demon
strates the fact that the ex-Kalser Is one of
the blcgest criminals In history. It shows
the magnitude of the problem Involved In the
question of his disposal and It Is Intensely
Interesting through every moment of the
five reels.
"What Shall Wo Do With Him?" wa,
produced by McClure's Production, which
produced "Tho Life of Kooscvelt," now a
the Stanley.
