WET ADVOCATES
RUSH TO ALBANY
Antis Alarmed Looks Like
New York Will Ratify
Amendment.
Albany, N. T Madch 11. Fear that
the legislature will ratify the federal
prohibition amendment caused the lob
bylsta of the "wet" Interests to aend
out burrled calls for help Saturday.
Their fear Is well grounded. The "drys"
claim that In the last few days the as
sembly has boon won over to their
cause and Mint they have twenty-three
pledged votes In the senate. Saturday
night the "drys" boasted that the as
sembly would ratify the amendment on
Tuesday.
Tho situation ts a serious one for the
"weta." The "drys" will have to get
but three more votes to Insure the rut
ideation of the federal amendment In
the upper house. Ordinarily there are
fifty-one senators, but there are two
vacancies due to resignations. Despite
the fnct that there are but forty-nlno,
tha "drys" will have to get twenty-six
votes, or a majority of the senate as
legally constituted.
Kven with this handicap, the "drys"
sre hopeful. leaders of tho "drys" de
clared that If the federal bone-dry
amendment Is not ratified by this legis
lature they will be disappointed.
Earlier In the aeaslon in fact, aa late
as three days aaro leaders of fflie antl
saloon league stated that It looked as
If the "wets" had the upper hand In the
legislature, but all this Is chsnged now,
In their opinion, ;
Socialists' Stand In Doubt.
In the assembly, which was "wet" by
a safe majority a month ago, at which
flino Thaddeus C. Sweet, speaker, said
that there were but elxty or so votes
pledged for prohibition, there Is now a
solid line-up of seventy-eight sasem
blymen on the "dry" side. This Is a
majority of three. This Is without the
ten socialist votes, and, while the so
cialists have announced they will not
vote for the HIll-McNab resolution
untlt they have heard from the people,
there Is a bare possibility of the social
ists going bodily over to the "drya."
August Clsessena, who la regarded as
the hrnlns of the socialists here. In an
Interview shortly after he Introduced a
resolution submitting to the people at
the next election the right to say how
the legislature shall vote on the federnl
amendment, said:
"We're committed neither way on the
prohibition question. Most of the ten
socialists are personnlly prohibitionists,
but we do not wish to impose our views
on the people until we henr from them.
Of course, if we had a big state fund,
we could call the state committee to
gether at twenty. four hours' notice.
Hut we have not. Ho we are doing the
next best tiling. Vc are learning their
sentiments by letter. And as the mn
Jorlty of the state commutes decide,
so slisll we act. And. If we don't hear
from them, v may get together agnln
up here snd caucus on the question."

COMMISSIONER CLAXTON GIVES
REASONS FOR STUDY OF GERMAN
Washington. The following letter
was written by Mr. P. P. Claxton,
United States commissioner of educa
tion, in response to an Inquiry as to
the advisability of the further con
tinuance of tho teaching of German In
high schools and colleges as published
In the New Republic:
"I do not think our present, rela
tions with the Oertnan empire should
affect In any way the policy of the
schools In tho United States In regard
to teaching the German language.
"The United States Is now at war
with the imperial government of Ger
many and not with the German lan
guage or literature. The president
has tried to make It plain to all the
people that we are not at war with
the people of Germany as a people, and
that we have In our hearts no hatred
or bitterness toward them. When the
war is over we expect to be friends
again and our commercial and politi
cal relations will be re-established.
Indeed we shall probably have much
more Intercourse , with the German
people then than ever before, as we
shall have with most of the nations
of the world. The great German re
public may become one of the lending
nations for the preservation of tho
peace of the world. For practical, In
dustrial and commercial purposes we
shall need a knowledge of the Gorman
language more than we have needod,
It in the past. We should remember
slso that there are many millions of
German speaking people outside of
Germany, and the number of such
persona will probably increase rapidly
after the war regardless of the way
In which the war may end. Some
years sgo we were at war With Spain.
And more recently we were almost t
war with Mexico whose people speak
the Spanish language. The need of a
knowledge of the Spanish language for
commercial and Industrial uses has

"The culture value of the German

of our life, national and Individual.
The value of the scientific and tech

will no doubt continue to Increase. To
rob ourselves of the ability to profit
by them would be very foolish. The
kinship between the Kngllsh.and the

AT THE RIALT0
I
The headline act on the bill the first
half of the week Is Suzanne Rocamora
and four attractive girls who sing, tn
"At the Ladies' Club," by George nots-
ford. Even the moat enthusiastic of his
admirers would hardly compare Jean
Haves with the late W. H. Gilbert. Their
works, however, sre similar In one re
spect. Both satirize the events or tneir
period, and as "Pinafore" Is a satire of
the British navy, so is "The Ladies-
Club" a satire on present-day domestici
ties. The entire story Is told In lyrics
which are bright In the extreme. Jean
Haves, who Is responsible for the book
and lyrics of many vaudeville acts, has
done his best In this little skit. When
Nat Wills was a musical comedy star do
ing "The Duke of Duluth" Miss Roca
mora was his prima donna.
The big added attraction the first half
of the week is Helens Hamilton and Jack
Barnes in their comedy act. "Just Fun."
Hamilton and Barnes are entertaining
from the "sheer power of magnetic per
sonality.
The headline act on the program the
last half of the week is Bobby Heath
and his girlish review, a wonderfully
clever singing comedy offering Introduc
ing Mr. Heath's latest songs and original
ideas. Bobby Heath Is the writer of the
following softg hits: "My Boy," "You're
My Girl," "On the Old Front Porch,"
"Oh, You Little Bear." "Just One Day."
The big added attraction the last hal'f Is
the chic comedienne, Ann Suter, "The
Girt From Virginia."
The first act on the program the first
half of the week is that of Josl Leehart,
Impersonating comedienne, whose act is
followed by that of Talbott Kenny and
Marie Walsh, who are seen and heard
In a singing dialogue called "Pavement
Patter." The street where thla sort of
patter la engaged in would become an j
exceedingly popular thoroughfare ' and
probably more crowded than Fifth ave
nue and Forty-second atreet at high
noon, because the patter of Kenny and
Walsh Is worth going a long way to
hear. Third on the bill is "At the La
dles' Club," with Suzanne Rocamora.
Fourth on the program come Hamilton
and Barnes, In their comedy act, "Just
Fun." The bill closes with Collins and
Hart, a genuine comedy novelty.
The first act on the proeram the last
half of the week ta that of Elvira Sis
ters, dancing acrobatlo girls. Their act
ts followed by that of Ann Suter, the
magnetic singing comedienne, "The Girl I
From Virginia.'' Third on the program !
la Bobby Heath and his "Girlish Revue."
Fourth on the bill is Marie FlUglbbons.
the talkative comedienne, while the pro
gram closes with Pollard, in a manipu
lating comedy act.
