"The colored soldiers of the United States." said Mrs. Talbert. "have proved that they appreciate the free ; dorn which this nation has given to '? us. They are willing to support the ! treedom with their lives. The women of our race are just as patriotic as their husbands, sons and 'brothers. ; They only need direction.

Student Nurses Begin Training At Army Camps Young Women Being Sent to Twenty-two Military Posts for Instruction In twenty-two United States army : camps at widely separated parts of the country, there will arrive every few days for the next several weeks, groups of women who are going to remain with the army either here or in France for the duration of the war, according to The Associated Tress. They are student nurses-members of the first , training units of the Army School of ! Nursing that has been established to help solve the problem of nursing the i sick and wounded that will be in action ! by next spring. Already more than 1,000 women be? tween the ages of twenty-one and . thirty-five, all graduates of high i schools or colleges, have been accepted m this branch of the military service. If the country's womanhood continues to respond to the appeal for student nurses now being sent broadcast by the Red Cross and the women's com I mittee of the Council of National De : fence, there need to be no fear as to ' the care that will be given to our boys, ! say the women leaders. For Army of 5,000,000 The Army School of Nursing, to? gether with the Red Cross enrolment of the civil hospital schools through ; the United States Student Nurse. Re? serve, is the answer to the great nurs? ing question that confronted the coun? try when it was decided to put not less than 5,000,000 men under arms. Figures received here by Miss M. Adelaide Nutting, professor of nursing and health at Columbia University and chairman of the nursing committee of i the Council of National Defence, show I that more than 4,000 young women had applied to enter the army nursing school by September 10 and that up 1 ward of 1,000 actually had been en ; rolled. The first thousand are beginning their training by helping to take care '? o*" "casualties" in the camps to which the training units are attached. As soon as they have reached a suitable ? stage of training they may be sent to : France if it is found necessary to sup 1 plement the force of graduate student ! nurses there. In any event, they will receive two years' training in army ! hospitals and obtain the degree of reg i ?stored nurse by taking the third and last vear of their course in a civil hos | pital. 20,000 Letters Received , Interest in this opportunity for women to help in winning the war is i so widespread that nearlv 20,000 let j ters of inquiry have been received by \ Surgeon General Gorgas. Training units of from thirty to I forty students each have been assigned to eighteen army camps, from Massa I chusetts to California. Each unit has ' a director, an instructor in nursing and a dietician. The students receive everything free and, in addition, an allowance of $15 a month. A recrea? tional director sees that they are pro? vided with entertainment and sports ' for their off-duty hours, and there are chaperons. The central headquarters \ of the school is in the office of the Sur? geon General, at Washington. The dean is Miss Annie M. Goodrich, chief inspector of army nurses, who is as? sisted by a large staff. Including the 16,000 already in act? ual service, more than 27,000 graduate nurses have been enrolled in answer to General Gorgas's plea for 25,000 by January 1. If it becomes pceessary to supplement the graduate nurses abroad with less completely trained women, it is expected that a sufficient number of the army nursing school students will be ready in time. ?..?.-? 300 Women Needed For Hospital Huts Washington Urges Quick Re sponse to Red Cross Call for November WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.?

Sept. 10. ?With ! representatives from eighteen states j present, the first national convention | of War Mothers of America began ses j sions here to-day. The convention was < formally opened yesterday with a pa? rade and social events. At to-day's i session Mrs. Robert Carlton Morris, i of Toledo, was the principal speaker. , Among the matters of business will be ! the election of permanent officers for j the ensuing year. Until the election | Mrs. A. J. Schulz, of Evansville, will ! continue to act as president. j "Unconditional surrender" is de { manded of the German nation in a I resolution seilt to-day to President j Wilson, General Pershing and the j American expeditionary forces in j France. The resolution reads: | "Millions of War Mothers of Amer I ica, represented in national convention , in Evansville, stand loyally behind you I in your desire to make no peace until | Germany and her allies surrender un ' conditionally." The adoption of the resolution fol 1 lowed the reading of n telegram from ? President Wilson, as follows: "To the War Mothers of America the I heart of the whole nation goes out in i pride and deep sympathy; sympathy ! because of the supreme sacrifice they 1 have made and in pride because of the : superb courage with which those sacri | fices have been accepted. Their sons ? are making America loved and hon i ored wherever men love freedom and . respect justice. Their heroism and their sacrifices will make the whole I world a happy and safer home for the ' wives and mothers of brave men in the | days to come. Future generations will i rise up and call these men blessed. : Please accept my personal homage of j respect and gratitude." Wisconsin War Mothers, who are ! here in force, are seeking for that I state the location of the national head ! quarters. One resolution calls for the retire ! ment of P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education, because of l an alleged statement to the effect that ' "the nation-wide movement to elim ? inate the German language from the 1 public schools and ordinary affairs of commercial and social life is a form of [ hysteria." I One of the interesting features of the session this afternoon was an ex I perience hour for mothers with four ! or more sons in the military or naval I service of the United States.

"Tea for Three" Sets Mark for Deftly Written Dialogue "Tea for Three," by Roi Cooper Me ? grue. At Maxine Elliott's Theatre, | Presented by Selwyn. Staged by Roi I Cooper Megrue. THE ?AST 'I'll? Friend . The win- . Tim llimliniiil . Tim Mnlil .Kdtliryii Ko Thu Valot.Wllll.iiii I'osla .Arthur Hvmn .MaiRari-i Lawrence . ..l'rr-ilerti-k Porn By Heywood Broun No American playwright has written j such sparkling light comedy dialogue ns that of Roi Cooper Megrue's "Tea for Three" since "The New York Idea" | was first produced here ever so many I years ago. The new play at the Max I ine Elliott crackles as if its author i ? has shuffled his feet on a thicket carpet I in winter weather. For two acts every- | ! thing he touches gives olf a spark. Tjje : , play falls short of being definitely dis- I tinguished drama only because Hie plot trails otT into trickery at the end. We have always known that Megrue ? was a skilful builder and he has proved : j on several occasions that he could ; | write theatrically cffectivt dialogue, I | but nothing before has been as deft ! i as this. For two acts it is all light; i and dancing. After the curtain came 1 down we Were sorry that Megrue hud ? ? sc definite a leaning for theatrical con | struction. It seemed a pity that he ! had been engaged in furnishing a sur- ? ? prist finish. After all that was an anti i climax. Nothing which the author was j able to make the characters do could j ? be half so surprising as the things j ? they said. There was ample suspense ? ? merely in the talk of Megrue's people. '? j We didn't care half so much how the j play came out as how any number o? ! its lines would turn. Here were happy ] endings in abundance. Perhaps there is no theatrical task > as difficult, as good light comedy dia i logue. In the effort for wit there is ? an ever present danger of epigram. I An unattached epigram is an awful I thing. It may serve well enough to sell al soup or a shirt or a cigarette, but il has no business in the mouth of a ; person in a play unless it can be defi? nitely associated with the character. j In (>t her words, it must have the air ; of belonging to the person who speaka j it and not to the author. Of course ' we will note an exception for Shaw. ; Megrue's dialogue is rarely epigram? matic and consistently characterized. ', Moreover, it, is smart. The people in the Hatton plays ought to be appren- ; I ticcd out to the characters of Megrue's ' : play in order to learn the lesson of combining wit and breeding. 'We - recommend twenty years, with a little off for good conduct. Good actors are needed for eood talk. j Arthur Byron keeps up the momentum of "Tea for Three" and never loses a point. He has not yet quite settled into his characterization. Now and again he hammers a bit too hard. Frederick Perry seemed to us the most I finished member of an excellent cast, but Margaret Lawrence ran him a close second with a thoroughly delightful performance. The other two charac? ters of the piece are minor, although William Postnance as the valet con? tributes a good deal to the fun of one of the best scenes. "Tea for Three" concerns a wife, her husband and another man. The husband becomes unreasonably jealous of the other man. who contrives, with the aid of the wife, to teach him a lesson. A weakness of the plot lies in the fact that the joke which is played j ; upon the husband seems to come close | to tragedy. It is true that all theatre- : wise folk may feel tolerably sure that ' everything will come out all right m the end, but two of the characters in the play are deceived as to the real I situation. Their poignant and sincere grief at the supposed death of the : other man cannot fail to communicate itself to the audience. This mood i--> , not suitable to the spirit of the play. 'It loses effectiveness to a marked de-. groe, therefore, in the last act. Even if we were sure beyond a doubt 'that this criticism were just, and ! heaven Knows we have no belief strong i enough to shout it very loud, we should not stress the point. When a play? wright has furnished enough delightful i talk to savor a dozen dramas he should be duly hailed as a benefactor. Speak ?ing, therefore, on behalf of one man : who saw 'Tea for Three" last night, we ! 'ask Mr. Megrue to consider himself ! hailed. : "Lucia" WeTl Presented No matter what opera the San Carlo ' | Company puts on, the Schubert Thea? tre promptly hangs out the "S. R. O." : sign. Last night it was "Lucia.'' poor, ?lear, modern Lucia di Lammermoor,' ! with a new soprano in the part, Miss I Queena Mario. Miss Mario has a voice and a dramatic temperament. She was : too nervous last night, to do herself i justice in the mad scene. Romeo Bor cacci was excellent as Edgardo. Signor Antola was the Ashton and Signor He Liassi the Raymonde Amedes Barbieri conducted. 50,000 Sing "Over There" in Central Park With Caruso Fifty thousand persons joined Enrico (Caruso in singing "Over There" at a public moonlight concert in t'entrai Park last night.

Mrs. Caruso was present. MRS. LOUISE J. PROVIN WESTFIELD, Mass., Sept. 19.?Mrs.; Louise J.

Senate Delays Water Power Leasing Bill WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.?Further delay in final enactment of the Admin? istration water power leasing bill was forecast to-day by strong objection in the Senate to sending the bill, recently passed by the House, to conference. It was insisted that the measure be sent to committee and treated as new legis? lation. No action was taken, and the debate will be resumed on Saturday. Discussing the |>ill to-day, Senator Borah, of Idaho, Republican, advocated elimination of the leasing provision by which (lower rights would be turned over for private development, and ad? vocated unrestricted public ownership and operation. He predicted that with? in two years the policy of the present Administration, which now is in favor of the private leasing system for a term of years, would be reversed in favor of public ownership1. The House recently passed the bill, which was drawn under the supervision oi the Secretaries of War, Interior and Agriculture, as Administration legisla? tion. 'I"he new bill was passed as an amendment to a hill of Senator Shields, of Tennessee, on the same subject, and Senator Fletcher, of Florida, asked that it. he sent to conference. This met ob? jection because of the possibility of occasioning unnecessary delay. Nurse Must File New Action for $100,000 Miss Florence L.

Booth, attorney for Mr Kveritt, said yesterday in the Suprem?

Mr. Booth point ed out to Justice Philbin that Mis Cooke did not even claim that th aged defendant refused to marry hei What she said was that on liecem h(>r 23, tlie date fixed for the weddinp Mr. Evcritt became sick, and the mar riage was postponed.

Roosevelt, Assistant Sec- ! retary of the. Navy, who has been in I France and England, was taken yester- j day to the home of his mother. Mrs. James Roosevelt, 47 East Sixty-fifth Street, suffering from pneumonia, fol- : lowing Spanish influenza. He was re? moved as soon as possible after the arrival at an Atlantic port of the gov- \ eminent ship on which he was a pas? senger. The case of pneumonia was said to be a light one and Mr. Roosevelt's con? dition is not regarded as serious. He contracted influenza on the voyage, and his case is said to be one of several that developed on the trip from Eu? rope. Mrs. Roosevelt said that her son's physicians exrjected n auick re? covery. His return to Washington, however, will be delayed for several days. Joscphus Daniels. Secretary of the Navy, who announced in Washington the arrival of Mr. Roosevelt, made public at the same time a cable mes? sage to Mr. Roosevelt from Sir Eric Gcddes, First Sea Lord of the British Admiralty. It was. in part: "The spirit of comradeship between your navy in European waters and ours, both in administration and oper? ation, has long been a source of pride to" us. It is an additional satisfaction that you should have personally ob? served it and returned to the United States bearing witness to the sincerity of our brotherhood in arms and unity , of purpose." Dr. Royal S. Copeland, Health Com-i missioner, conferred yesterday in his office with transportation and theatri? cal men on an anti-sneezing campaign ; which he intends to launch as a coun? ter offensive to the Spanish influen'za. Those present offered cordial co? operation to prevent unguarded coughs and sneezes from spreading germs in public places, and "The Subway Sun" will issue an "extra" dealing with the matter. The following placard will be posted prominently: "To preven? the spread of Spanish influenza, sneeze, cough or expectorate, if you must, in your 'Handkerchief. You are in no danger if every one heeds this warning." Forty-seven new cases of Spanish in- ? fluenza had been reported yesterday to the Department of Health. Of these all but ten were positive and the oth irs were suspected case.-. Five of the positive and the ten suspected cases were found in Manhattan, three in Queens, one in The Bronx and twenty eight in Brooklyn. Of lit?se in Brook? lyn, seven were private cases and four woro in hospitals, while seventeen were of men from ships and military camps. Of the seventeen last, mentioned, thir? teen of the patients were taken from one vessel to the Kingston Avenue Hospital and two of them have the complication by which the disease sometimes becomes fatal, pneumonia.
