ROTARYCLUBTO AID 'SMILEAGE BOOK' IDEA [Continued from First Page. [ nors and presidents of Rotary Clubs from all over the country, who were given the first acquaintance with this vast plan by Allen Albert, past pres ident of the International Associa tion of Rotary Clubs. Ulie idea, briefly, is to furnish fine, clean, theatrical shows to every camp of considerable size, and in order to afford an opportunity to show kindness to the soldiers, tickets will be issued called "Smileage Books," to be on sale at every post office and department store. So cer tain is the government of the popu larity of this plan that 5,500,000 "smileage books" are now about to come off the press and they will be on sale very shortly in Harrisburg. To Be Sold Here A sample, of one will bo exhibited 1 to-night by President Lumb to I members of the local club. The book resembles a mileage book and is of j two denominations. One, containing twenty-live live-cent tickets can be bought for $1; the other, containing 100 five-cent tickets cost $5. The Rotary people were asked by i the Secretary of War to give the moral support and co-operation of their influential organization to this generous scheme and they have al ready made such progress that four cracker jack theatrical shows have been assigned to this Held. They are Broadway organizations, presenting accepted Broadway successes, "Turn to the Right"; "Cheating Cheaters"; "Here Comes the Bride"; "Inside the Lines." Other companies and many stars are volunteering to fit themselves into the plans of the council, fol lowing the beautiful example of Miss Maude Adams and William Paver sham, as soon as those two leading actors heard of the smileage pro ject. * Vaudeville Bills Four vaudeville bills have been as sembled by General Manager E. F. Albee, of the Keith Circuit. Plans are now ,jn the making to revive the musical comedies and light operas which the men have liked in past years—"The Prince of Pilsen"; "The Red Mill"; "The Chocolate Soldier"; "Robin Hood": .and the Gilbert and Sullivan com positions. Congresß apportioned about $500,-j 000 for entertainment buildings at| the various camps but made no pro- 1 vision for the show. The sale of "smileage bookB" has been instltut-j ed for the purpose of paying the ex- | penses of the professional perform-. ers. These books, by a special a"r rangement, will also be good for the | moving pictures. The tickets can bo; detached and if the show costs five* cents, one is pulled off; if twenty five cents, five coupons are clipped. President Lumh stated that in order to keep the citizen informed, signs will be posted at all selling places telling when where a show ap pears. In one soldier is luckier than another in receiving a supply of "smileage books" everybody knows that chap will be generous enough to split up with a less fortunate com rade. The new move is under the di rect management of the Military En tertainment Council which will uti lize the liberty theaters built by the government, the Y. M. C. A. auditor iums and where the weather permits the tents which have been provided by the Chautauqua associations. YVliat It Means An Army recruited by draft in cludes the best young men of the nation. The off hours of these young men are the loneliest hours of their camp life. Accordingly, the council will pre sent at the camp theaters — Broadway companies in the best theatrical successes of the season. The best musical and vaudeville programs obtainable. Lectures of the highest excel lence. Amateur performances by the men themselves. Ordinarily the cost of booking such attractions would be prohibi tive. But the performers and man agers of the United States have met the council with such patriotic co operation as to put these productions within the reach of every soldier In the United States. Operating ex pense has been reduced to bed rock. As a result, cost of these performances will range from ten cents to twenty-five cents a seat. Yet many soldiers will not be able to attend many performances even at these prices. Thousands of them are sending home practically all their pay. Hence the "smileage books." CITY'S SUBURB!

I.—The Petrognid Dally News wonders whether the danger of a separate peace is realized in England. He says it would be a de feat for German democracy in addi tion to oinsuring the virtual enslave ment of Russia, as it would be a vic tory for the military caste in Ger many. • It may mean." he adds, "much than Russia's neutrality. If we make 110 move, it seems possible the Germans will ask the Russians to help them in forcing Russian peace terms on the entente allies. Trotzkv is well aware of the danger ami. though faced with the necessity oi concluding peace, is doing his utmost to stimulate a revolution in Ger many. Fraternization at the front already has passed beyond control of enemy officers and enormous quantities of revolutionary newspapers printed in German are being distributed.
