War And War’s Alarms.
United Press Dispatch.
New York, August 15.—It is
agreed on Broadway that Gen
eral Sherman must have been a
theatrical manager. Otherwise
he would not have been able to
express in such explicit language
just what war is.
As you sit at Home and read
war news, and have visions of
Kaiser Bill challenging the world
to fight, you may not think that
lord of war who is now in the
role he has long wanted to play,
is mussing up your theatrical
plans for the winter. Well he
has.
Kaiser Bill not only is striving
vaingloriously to muss up the
whole of Europe, but through
his wholesale broadside hurling
jp- of declarations of war is causing
little old Broadway no end of
worry.
No one has been shouting the
last couple of years over won
derful successes and the outlook
for the coming season which was
good until all this outbreak of a
calamitous war has given it a
dull, gray dressed for battle hue.
In the first place rehearsals
for many shows may be delayed

because the principals are held
in Europe. Whether they are
unable to get a steamer home
or haven’t the money to pay for
a ticket doesn’t make any differ
ence. The chances are against
j their returning in time for re
hearsal on the date they were
scheduled to begin
The press agents have jump
jed upon the war, incidentally, as
I a means of bringing these ma
j rooned actors and actresses into
i print again- If anyone has
'been overlooked they were cer
tainly in some such places as
iZvwlutzwitch and the cables re
fused to carry the name of the
i town, the censor fearing the
combination might mean some
thing or was intended to be
calling the king names.
But getting back to the pros
pefcts ahead, in addition to the
delayed rehearsals, there is
considerable doubt in the minds
of managers just what effect the
war may have ‘on business. If
j Mr. U. S. Common People is go
ing to conserve his resources
until some idea can be gained as
l to how long the scrap on the
other side is going to last and
figure what effect it is going to
have on conditions here, it may
be great for the movies, but a
, hard life for the $2.50 dress cir
cles.
There have been war times
when theaters boomed. During
our own Civil War some of the
, old favorites were at the
'.'ft . "T_I _;■
'height of their fame and played
to brilliant houses of civilians
! and army and navy officers
! from the front.
j The chiefe ffect of the Euro
: pean war on this country, how
ever, will be entirely economic
The world’s finances have been
! completely upset. Export busi
ness should boom if there were
ships to carry the cargoes from
the country, but the theatrical
managers are not convinced yet
that they will not suffer.
Grand opera managers are
pulling their hair, watching
Italy and hitting high notes in

taly at war might mean that
such rare voices as that of Ca
ruso and other noted songsters
would be heard in army camps,
loudly wailing in the general di
rection of the camp cook, in
stead of being wafted out over
an expanse of boiled .shirts and
j decollette gowns.
I There are also several German
singers who may be caught in
| the call for reserves to fight
(for the Fatherland. Running
on down the line, there are mem
, bers of the chorus of the grand
opera companies and singers of
the secondary importance who
j may either go into the army or
I be held on the other side in
definitely while the nations are
fighting things out.
| As an after-tlxe-snow proposi
tion, war isn’t what it is crack
ed up to be. In the Broadway j
palaces orders for imported
wines are said to be heavier |
than ever. Fearing the supply
may be short and possibly cut
off entirely in the near future,
everyone is trying to drink the
vats dry right off for fear they
may not get their full share

i Batesville Happenings Always
Interest Our Readers.
After reading of so many peo-1
pie in our town who have been 1
cured by Doan’s Kidney Pills, j
the question naturally arises:
“Is this medicine equally sue- 1
cessful in our neighboring j
towns ?” The generous state-j
ment of this Batesville resident
leaves no room for doubt on this
point.
G- W. Adkins, Eighth street,
Batesville, Ark., says: “Not
long ago I was troubled with
my back and other symptoms of
kidney complaint. I used
Doan’s Kidney Pills and my gack
hasn’t bothered me near so
much since. The other ailments
have been greatly relieved "
Price, 50 cents at all dealers.
Don’t simply ask for a kidney
remedy—get Doan’s Kidney
Pills—the same that Mr. Ad
kins had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
