Ship Exemption Might Bring War. tVith four naval vessels to one owned oy the United States government, it Is pointed out, she could do that handily, and there would be little appeal, either through the medium of peace or that of ■■.ar. Which nation will care to tackle the United States first remains to ho seen. but it will be the one which is hit the hardest. Jealousy of Germany by England, and ire versa, has heretofore kept America safe, but the violation of the Hay- Pauncefote treaty, if exemption of ships s a violation, likely will bring on war with the latter country. And America, so the wise men say, will be caught en tirely unprepared. Plausible congressmen declare that hould England and the United States go to war, the latter country would ike Canada and also resist success fully any invading force, but those who look gravely at the situation point to imilar declarations and the actual per formances in the war of 1812, when imerican soldiers were easily turned "tick from the Canadian border and Ungland was only bested through cir unistances beyond her control. Treaty Is Not Clear. Elthu Root, formerly secretary of ar, and the present secretary are un alterably opposed to exemption from ■lls, and In this position they oppose President Taft, who has fixed tolls for U classes of ships, excepting American sei? engaged in coastwise trade. The Hay-Pauncefote treaty provides, ong other things, the treatment of all nations’ ships alike, and the mooted lestlon is whether •‘all nations” in ndi-s the United States or means “all "ther nations.” This treaty - superseded the Cfayton '■ulw< i treaty - of the early '3os. The tier pact, it is said, made ft almost possible for the United States ever to ■uild and maintain a canal like that ough Panama. DIVORCE RECOMMENDED FOR WIFE OF PAINTER -\’IAV YORK.

WALTER JONES IS FEATURE AT LYRIC IN "BABY MINE” tn the roaring comedy, “Baby Mine.” which comes to the Uric tonight tor s • I WP ek’s engagement, is a story ol a young ' married woman who has deceived her husband into believing that they are the proud parents of a brand-new baby. So ’ manv thousands have seen the comedy that'it is almost unnecessary to tell the ' mory. but. neverthelews a baby is a very ' necessary. member of the cast of "Baby Mine." j .. v. , Now. the company doesn t carry a baht Ito take this important part; neither does 'it use u •prop’ baby. Therefore, the only thing left to do is to procure a baby in each cite the play Is produced. Any ordinary baby won’t do for this part, lie cause Miss Marjorie Cortland, who plays the leading feminine role in "Baby Mine.” has a verv good eye for babies and know s a first-class tine front an inferior article. So frequently a baby contest Is inaugu rated the three winning babies to receive prizes and the winners to have the honor of joining the cant for the week.

The production defies the or dinary classification of the theater. It is not, strictly speaking, opera, musical comedy, or drama, while partaking of many of the essential features of all of them. It was suggested to the author, the late Walter Browne, by the ancient morality play, ‘Everyman,” which was performed throughout America a. few years ago by a band of English players i under the leadership of Ben Greet There . is, however, not the faintest similarity in treatment, for "Everyman” was gloomy and morbid, while “Everywoman" is a delicious satire on the frailties of the fair sex, carrying with it a message which is ■ universal. The music, which is sym , phonic in character and is interpreted by . a special orchestra carried by the com pany, was composed by George Whlte . field Chadwick. Dr. Chadwick is the i composer of several famous symphonies | which are performed annually by the Bos- i ton Symphony orchestra and all the , . world’s famous symphony orchestras, j i Over one hundred and fifty people appear I in the production, which is undoubtedly i the largest organization ever toured, i Seats are now selling. , ' FEATURE BILL BOOKED FOR GRAND THIS WEEK A big bill of vaudeville is the attrac tion at the Grand tills week.

There are r acts of quality, headliners and features of unusual prominence and some of the most j distinguished of modern Keith specialties, , that will contribute to the entertaining. Principal among the headliners will be Jesse Lasky's “the Antique Giri.” with Eugene MacGreager, D«fis Wilson and I Mae Busch, and a dozen other important I entertainers. The act is conceded to Tie the best musical comedy In vaudeville. It is the sort of act that is retained usu ally for a run In a vaudeville theater, but it has been routed to play just ten weeks outside of the big cities, and Atlanta was ’ assigned one of the weeks. Another feature will be John K. Mur i ray and Clara Lune, who with the assist- | t ance of another, will offer a singing nov- | elty that is away from anydiing in vaude t villa. The Venetian Four, vaudfcville'c ' best musical quartet: the Four Flori- monds ifi an aerial novelty; Alf Grant and i Ethel Hoag, in a vaudeville comedy, and' Gere and Delany, roller skaters, and Frank ‘Mullance. a character comedian, make up the other numbers of the program, lintd recently there have been hundreds of • theater-goers who had nearly forgotten ' the existence of the Grand, but in fifteen weeks vaudeville has brought the theater I back and theater-goers have learned that | it is necessary to secure seats in advance. ’ iust as in the days of the Forsyth. i SODA WATER BOY.

Manley Says Morgan Was Right. “Money Trust Is Impossible.” - -f “All great individual fortunes now In existence will disintegrate within the next 60 or 70 years,” declared W. D. Manley, of Atlanta, today, in an Inter view given The New York Herald on the Morgan testimony before the Pujo committee of congress. Mr. Manley, president of the Bankers Trust Company of Atlanta, gave the In terview in response to a telegram from The Herald, and declared that J. Pier pont Morgan was right in testifying that there could be no money trust. His statement follows: “Mr. Morgan, like all great men, haa testified frankly and plainly. His con structive forces have been helpful to this country. There can be no inoney trust as long as bank deposits are sub ject to check. There can be no credit trust, as you can not separate a good man from his welF earned credit. Co operative banking is stronger than in dependent institutions of non-collat era] support, and does not destroy com petition. Mr. Morgan is not a wrucke; - , he does not destroy. Public sentiment, followed by even revolution, would pre vent any one man or his cohorts from continuously - exploiting the public. “AH great individual fortunes now held will disintegrate within the next 60 to 75 years.” 5
