The Twentieth Century Battle of Waterloo.
The eye? of the world are on the American army. The hopes
of the allies rest in the American army. The ultimate defeat of
Germany will be accomplished by the American army. This is not
an American boast, but a fact conceded by our allies.
How will our forces defeat the enemy? The larger element of
war is a conflict of uncertainties. True, the present allied offensive
was carefully planned before undertaken, but each day's progress
determines the succeeding day's tactics. Our commanders know to
day what they hope to do next week, yet they will not know until
next ? erk whether or not their plans will materialize fully.
So our leaders will continue to plan, military experts will con
tinue to predict while the public follows each day's battling expectant
and waiting, but always confident of the final result.
An American army fighting on or around the old Waterloo bat
tlefield is more of a probability than a looming possibility as the
near future of the war is analyzed. Directly bearing on this Twen
tieth century Waterloo is an innocent looking bit of latest news from
abroad that the Germans are quietly preparing for the last of the big
stands east of Mons. This name and that of the Forest of Soignics
and Jemappes are recalled as names immediately connected with the
Waterloo of 181.?;.
The present outlook is that British and Americans, who are now
fighting with equal valor in the northernmost sector of the long
buttle line, are heading toward Mons. Douai and Cambrai are the
base of a triangle of which Mons is the apex. Staff officer? here
yesterday who look already at the picturesque of the last fights in
Belgium, predicted that the British and Americans will'eventually
pursue the Germans toward Mons and will do there what the
British did to the Hindenburg line switch at Qucant.
Tn the way of prediction it was remembered here yesterday that
during the first month 01 the war one of the old-time staff officers
of O'ir army declared that as Belgium, as usual, was to be the cock
pit 01 Europe, one at least of the deciding, if not the decisive, battles
was to be expected at or near Waterloo.
It is an interesting opinion. History does repeat itself. If it
docs in this event the decision can now be calculated by an Amer
ican army of 4.000.000 with *|X),ooo,ooo Americans supporting it.
Frank A. Vanderlip.
\s a result of the consolidation of the war savings and liberty
loan organizations of the Treasury Department as one organization
to handle all government credits, Frank A. Vanderlip, who has headed
the war sa\ings and thrift stamp campaigns and the organization
tor the sale of these government securities, is to retire from public
service and return to the National City Bank of New York.
The term war savings and Frank A. Vanderlip are synonomous.
Think of one and you must associate the other. Measure the worth
.nd you ha\e the worth of the other. Give credit to one as a
tremendous war-winning scheme and you give credit to the other.
And what is the worth of W. S. S.? Financi.tlly, it has been
,135.07 to date. Numerically, we estimate it as being the
United States, or n-;,ooo,ooo people, if not directly so, certainly in
directly. Patriotically, we regard the W. S. S. idea as one huge
contributing factor toward winning the war; a factor which assisted
in welding our nation into one inseparable unit and has taught our'
wasteful slves our first sound lesson in thrift, a lesson which we
will not forget alter the war.
The nation cannot permit Mr. Vanderlip to retire from public
service without an expression ot its admiration and indebi - for
,.;s and patriotism.
Food That Harms.
Scurvy is a dis case produced by improper or unsuitable food.
Many years ago it was o? frequent occurrence among sailors at
se.-: Now it is a comparatively rare disease, thanks to better pro
visions and better methods in issuing food supplies.
The symptoms arc swelling, spongincss and bleeding of the gums.
The teeth become loose and frequently fall out. The breath is foul
and the tongue swollen. The skin becomes dry and scaly.
Small dark spots known as hemorrhage? occur under the skin.
first on the legs and then on ;he arms and other parts of the body.
Bleeding from the nose frequently occurs and swelling about the
rnklrs is common.
The skin 01 the legs is frequently discolored in large blotches and
there is often a peculiar hardness of the muscles of the calf of the leg.
The complexion is frequently of a greenish or dirty-yellow hue.
The pulse is rapid and weak. There may or may not be slight fever.
In severe cases debility and emaciation are quite marked.' The
min ? wanders ard occasionally there is wild delirium.
Prevention and treatment both consist almost wholly in a change
of diet. Give fresh vegetables, fresh milk, fresh beef, oranges, lemons,
limes or lime juice.
Hemcmber the Twelfth?and register!
Tipe Kaiser has changed his tune to that of "snece: i.'ui defense."
Some U. S. Senator? have found a new way to help the Kaiser?by
trying to shield slacker? from round-ups.
The sort of "war bit" to do i? to do your war work a bit
better.today than you did it yesterday.
To the "yellow-dog ' kennel with those profiteers who seek to
pass their war taxes on to the public via the cost of living!
The much vaunted efficiency of the German armic? i? well dis
playc?l in their retreating operations. Nothing, apparently, can halt
them when once they are headed toward the rear.
Hun? have again spread disease on tooth and shaving brushes,
doctored in their laboratories and distributed surreptitiously in allied
countries. Science fights with the germ in GERMany.
The flour trust protests to Hoover because small country millers
are making more profit per barrel than the big fellows. Isn't that
just like the old hog which always squeals when a little runt of a pig
gets into the trough!
Chemin Des Dames.
What ladies with high, powdered tress
And fluttering fan and vivid stain
Of red on cheek, and wide-hooped dress,
Did use to pace down Ladies' Lane?
What lovers, most importunate.
Did quarrel for their smile?a gain
Which ne'i r could equalled be by fate,
Except in walks down Ladies' Lane?
What duels fought 'twixt Jean and Paul
Because high-rouged Madame did deign.
What trippings after life's gay call
Adown the poplared Ladies' Lane!
What dalliance, now, oh, Ludendorff
Is thine above the river Aisne?
Oh, German, is the going rough
To Weltmacht by the Ladies' Lane?
?Fiom New V'ork Evening Post.
Two kinds of peace may follow this
war?after the Germans are beaten.
That Is, one kind or the other may
result, or parts of each kind.
The kjnd of peace we hear much
about these days Is "dictated" peace,
the kind the Germane will have to
accept n" matter how much they may
rebel In their heart? against it.
The other kind Is the "negotiated"
peace. Negotiated reace may be dic
tated to some extent, but on the whole
it is supposed to leave the enemy in
a better fram? of mind than the
other.
Just now the impression , prevails
at the Capitol that the Republican
party is very much committed to the
dictated kind. This Impression gath
ers force by a careful perusal of Sen
ator Lodge's speech and Representa
tive Fes?' statement.
The Democratic party has not com
mitted Itself definitely save as its
leader. President Wilson, has spoken
on peace matters. But the Repub
licans think the Democrats favor a
negotiated peace. At least they pre
fer to credit the Democratic s party
with favoring this variety.
However right or wrong the politi-"
cal leaders are in the Republican
ranks, the fact remains that no auch
charge can lio long against the party
In power. The Democratic party is.
committed to a vigorous prosecution
of the war to a victorious end. And
not until victory Is attained, so the
Democrats insist, can any peace pro
posals be accepted?and when that
time cornea, they ?rgue, the enemy
will be glad to talk almost any kind
of peace, dictated or otherwise^ and
may not be able to resent bffgjrrog
any proposals that may be made
toward peace.
The danger Is, though, that a half
defeated enemy may make propos
als seriously, on behalf of the peo
ple of Germany and Austria, which
will warrant us pausing a moment
to consider them. The Republicans
think the "arch pacifism" In Presi
dent Wilson will crowd itself to the
surface then and that he may work
toward a peace which will not be as
conclusive as they want.
This leads us straight to the
heart of the possible difficulty of
peace-making?the fundemental dif
ficulty 'which may be encountered
some day sooner than we realize.
The whole question Is "Will the
Central Powers be less apt to set
the world afire again if every term
of peace Is forced upon them?"
If not. some of our law-makers
think, the peace that comes had
better be "negotiated" to ?orne ex
tent.
If the enemy Is compelled to ac
cept the "dictated" peace only to
nurture a viper In his bosom to
some day twin loese upon the world,
when he has r ero ve red from this
war, it would be wise to bring about
a "negotiated * peace, these law
makers maintain.
In other words, they insist the one
big thing to keep in mind is the pre
vention of wars for all time to come.
They say this can be l>est ac
complished through some other means
than the "dictated" peace route?and
they do not give in one whit to the
enemy In adopting this viewpoint.
There are tho.se nt the Capitol who
think this very matter will be put
up to the people eventually?the
pt ???? of this nation and of other
nations among our co-belligerents. Tn
our own nation they believe it will
be a national Imu?, perhaps an issue
between the two old major parties.
The question is Interesting and Im
portant. It has possibilities. It is
worth thinking about?and we need
not take our mind oft the task of
whipping the enemy*, to Rive it care
ful though.
Henry Ford has finally taken the
right attitude. He says, following our
publication of his gross inconsistency
In wanting to follow the .President
but not desiring to "turn over his
hand*' for election, that he intends
to enter into the tight aggreeaiveiy.
His decision, however, romes too
late. Ho .?lion Id have mad o it be
fore. His printed words, charting
altopot her a different course, arc
now In nearly every homo In Michi
gan. His new decision shows that
the old one was wrong?that he was
a child In public affairs und that his
famed business sa tracity and lis
judgment were sadly lacking when
It came to serving the public His
vacillation'on matters so vital to the
public interest shows clearly that he
would be an unstable lawmaker and
that the steadfastness and ability
and courage which must perm eat?;
our legislative halls throughout the
remainder of the war. and during
the "reconstruction." would not b?.
present in him.
We still insist that Mr. F.-rd
makes a splendid gas chariot, f,or
the money, but we insist just as
doggedly that he would be at home
in the Senate just like an I. W. W.
would be at home in a railroad di
rectors' meeting.
Prohibition!
The term suddenly becomes real,
' a result of President Wilson ex
orcising, for the seoncd time, power
given to him under the original food
control act.
But this will not prevent the pro
hibitionists from keeping at their
hobby?they will continue to ride as
long as the situation -does not exactly
tally with their views. Though the
war demands all our attention jwe
shall still have the prohibition battle
with us.
We wonder If. _omo day. when the
nation has become bone-dry, and
many a throat Is parched?including
the throats of some of our "ardent"
prohibition friends?there will be a
let-up. sufficient to put our aggressive
reformers on an "issue-less" basis.
We suppose not. There will be
something else then. Cigarettes will
have to be done away with then, nnd
cigars and eating tobacco?and after
that perhaps a campaign to bring
skirts closer to the ground at the
bottom, and higher up toward the
necks of our weukcr sex, at the top.
Apparently we are in for a course
of one reform after another. But let
it come. The future generation has
to be entertained and bothered so it
might as well be over auch questions
as these as anything else.

Dumply.
Otis ?Skinner has scored again'
Not ?? heavily, perhaps, as he
?cored ln "Kismet," nor yet so de
lightfully as he scored in "Mister An
tonio," but oh! the joy of the re
viewer, to stretch out and revel in
honest praise of drama that Is drama,
of comedy that is comic, and of play
j that is a play.
? ?^ch Is "Humpty-Dumpty," a four
| net laughter-aud-tears comedy by
Horace Annesley Vachc-ll. that force!
six bows and a curtain speech from
the properly-reluctant (His * himself
at the end of the third act. Krein
curtain to curtain, here Is a wejl
nigh perfect bit of dramaturgy, a
delightful thing, a four-ai t gem that
rings as true as a dropped half-dol
lar.
Let's examine the plot: ?
James Delamothe, heir presumptive
to the earldom of Motlisfont, discovers
that the old earl h.is willed him the
estate with the full knowledge that it
really belongs to the hoii of an old? r
brother, who consummated a secret
marriage while at school and left a
i sob, who, ignorant of hie heritage?,
bos become a hairdresser at an Eng
lish coast town. James Delamothe
promptly breaks his engagement
with his cousin, a charming but Im
pecunious girl, turns over hi.?, hold
ings to the rightful owner, the hair
j dresser, who, flushed with his new
1 estate, dedicates himself to his new
? life, only to discover at the end of
| the third act that he id dreadfully
j unhappy. Impetuously he casts
?aside, for the time, his earldom, re
turns to his hairdressing, only to
! discover, in attempting to thwart a
1 blackmailing* woman, that his sup
; posed mother, the secret wife of
j Arthur Delamothe. wa? not his
mother at all. hut a woman who
had exchanged her dying baby of
! noble blood for another woman's
: healthy hut Illegitimate son.
! Such are the opportunities offered
[Otis Skinner in "Humpty-Dumpty."
There Is a flaw In his performance
?that will be eliminated, perhaps.
I Try as he will. Skinner has not elimi
I nnted the flavor of his "Mister
?Antonio'?" dialect. It clings to his
? cockney accent; it befuddles his enun
ciation; it blurs his Interpretation.
| Nevertheless he has investid the
role of an English barber with a
?charm that lifts it from the ruck of
: things. He is the artist hair dresser,
? at one with his art. Strange as it
? may seem. Mr. Skinner fails to
1 swash buck le successfully as one might
I expect of barber lifted to earl. This.
\ too is another asperity that time will
; likely smooth Blame, too, seem:* to
lie w-lth the plot which causes a
brrt.ei to renounce an unhappy earl
dom f?r a happy ton^orial Studi?.
Such ihings may happen, but . the
stage is keyed to the law of pro
babilities and the emotional thru?*1
that should close that third act ia
only saved by he actor himself. There
is a biting touch of tragedy in O.e
fourth act that again bring* out the
?artistry of this man Skinner, but 1,
succumb? swiftly to a bit ot romano?
ih-it brings out the **ama artistry,
thirgh ?n happier vein.
Praise, fulsome and unstinted, must
go to each and every member of the
supporting cast Beryl Mercer, as the
spurious though loving mother of this
barber Humpty Dumpty, builds a
background of dramatic action that
attains the brilliance of utter sim
plicity. No character actress Wash
ington has seen In months ha? Inter
preted with deeper Intelligence and
moro finished skill a role which could
become utterly inane* with poor
handling. Skinner's own praise of his
cast la echoed here and, while spa'"'
forbids detailed mention, we single
out for particular praise Morton Bel
ton, Ernest Elton, Elizabeth Kif-don,
John Rogers. Ruth Rose, Clara Bracy
and Walter Scott. This must not be
interpreted as detracting from the
merits of the performance of Flem
ing Ward. Robert Harrison, Robert
Entwlstle. William Evill? and Maud
Milton.
Truly, Skinner has scored and the
National thl? week Is a pince the
careful theatergoer cannot ignore.
OPHELIA'S SLATE.
*e?S
???G??"An Ideal flosbend."
Oscar Wilde's comedy, "An Ideai
Husband." was given at Poll'? thea
ter last niKht by a company of intel
ligence and distinction, and wa?
warmly received by an audience that
comfortably filled the more forward
part? of <he house. Why the rear
ranks should be empty le a query to
which several possible answers sug
gest themselves. Maybe the play i*
too literary for war times, or perhaps
the author's linee are too prudish for
our advanced and outspoken era.
If the latter ?suggestion seem* odd,
In view of the light in which Wilde'.*
play.* were at one time regarded, let
anyone habituated to the common
stage traffic of the last demi-decade
go to Poll's this week and se*? wheth
er he does not receive a distinct im
pression of old-fashioned propriety.
The play is no doubt more convey
tional than some others by the same
writer, and perhaps It haa been
pruned for the occasion. At any rate
it has a certain primness.
? Is a l-nut a statesman who Is
Idealised by his saintly wife, hut who
j through a dishonorable act commit
I ted in youth is caught In the tolls
I of a fascinating siren?one is tempted
| to say "vamp"?from Vienna. Th*?
j wife's noble Influence prevails, the
serpente blackmailing wiles are de
' feated by the artifices of a friend and
i the couple are brought together In
1 a new love in which idealism is tern
J pered with charity.
The scene is in a kind of high I.on
! don society that Wild*? probably |n
i vented, where everyone voices his
quickest thoughts in sententious and
well-polished epigrams They are
keen, of course, and just as laughter
compelling as when they were writ
ten.
As Is generally the case, the effort
of the company at largo to project
i a picture of a crowded London draw
! ing-room is not particularIv sucessful.
' the effect reavmbling neither life as
lit is nor as the author imagined it
? Ft ut ?hen this opening scene is well
?cleared away, and the tale Is Intt
' inately unfolded by the four leading
! characters, the impression of comedy
J at Its finest prevail* to the end. This
i is achieved throjeh the excellent art
j of the play? is who take the four
?essential parts of Sir Robert Chi Item
and his wife, I,ord Goring and Mrs.
I Cheveley.
Miss Constance Collier as th?? ad
venturess, Mrs. Cheveley. conveys a
\ i vid effect of serpentine cynlcl*m
?and allurement. Miss Beatrice Eeck
| ley is admirably chosen for the role
'of Lady Chutera? whose pure moral
ideals are placed In contrast.
Norman Trevor gives strt^ngth.
dignity and restraint to the part of
Sis Robert. Julian L'Kstrance j?
preeiieiy the well-fed idler of flow
ery wit, to whom the playwright as
signs the gems of his epigrammatic
genius.
The production Is very handsome
and Judicious. The gowns are some
thing wonderful, but whether they
are true to the styles of the late
eighties or early nineties, or
whatever the period is. this writer
sa yet h not. He did hear somebody
in the east say "Petrograd,' how
ever, which seems a strangely need
less anachronism.
Cosmo*?"Tbe i.remt Love.*?
David Wark Griffith's master
piece, "The Great Love." at the
Cosmos Theater thia week is a
moving picture which blends war
I and romance. The vaudeville head
liner ia a musical comedy, "Pardon
Me," that furnishes forty-five min
utes' entertainment. Burke Broth
ers and Kendall open the perform
ance with club juggling and danc
ing, supplemented with songs. El
! sie Gilbert and her sister score well
with a song and eccentric danc??
| act. Lillian Herleln, assiste^ by
? Josef Weidell at the piano, fur
nishes a cycle of songs that serve
also to introduce some beautiful
costumes, and the Mal.oneys. who
made a hit on their last appear

featuring the Bennett beauties and
the Hearst-Pathe News completes
the entertainment.

Stella Mayhew, intact as to embon
point and verve, and a condensation
of the tuneful "Only Girl" are the
twin hcadliners at Keith's this week
Pract1?:ally every good feature ol
the "Only Girl" haa been retained in
the vaudeville version and the whole
production has been speeded up to
the degree of big time efficiency.
The "Only Girl" is the girl that every
man finds once and marries and then.
lives happily with ever afterward
with the exception of ?M5 skirmishes
a year. Four men are bosom friends
until three of them discover, respec
tively, the sweetest and most beauti
ful and cleverest little girl in the
world. In spite of these awful exam
ples the fourth friend rushes reck
lessly over the brink of matrimony
to furnish a fitting climax to thi
production. The cast Is very ade
quate. Gerald McDonald's Scotch
burr being responsible for a major
part of the laughs. Among the songs
retained in the condensed version are
the hauntingly pretty "When You're
Away" and "When You Have a Bali
and Chain," the original hit of th?
show.
Just how a young lady who haft
