SAYS THIRD YEARMUST BRING ENDTO PIUSENT W AIProf. Laughlin Reiterates State­ment of Lord Kitchenerin Lecture.SUPPLY OF MEN IS ESSENTIALSecond Big Factor is l\lunitions- Fi­nancial Exhaustion Unable toCause Hostilities to Cease.Lord Kitchener's statement madelast fall that the war would necessari­ly end during the third year or pos­sibly during the third winter in thetrenches was reiterated by Prof.James Laurence Laughlin, head ofthe Political Economy department, inhis lecture on "How Long Can theWar Continue", yesterday afternoonin Harper assembly room. Prof.Laughlin stated that the outcomewill depend essentially upon the sup­ply of men and munitions of thecentral powers."One fundamental fact, about the-present European situation is the im­portance of the destruction of capi­tal over the destruction of wealth,"said Prof. Laughlin. "Germany isalmost entirely cut off from commer­cial intercourse with foreign nations,and must subsequently depend uponher own resources. But she is usingup her national capital and is unable<to replace-It.' Borrowings of the stateand innumerable bankriotes will notreplace the capital. ."The allied nations, however, have,in a way, all the resources of : theworld in back of them, because theyhave access to them. With them, a'Sfar as capital is concerned, it is onlya question of the continuance of creditand, buying powers. A state cannotspend more than it can obtain from "its citizens by taxation and loan. Itwill be economic and not financial ex­haustion that will demand suit forpeace. And the allied powers are in'no 'danger of economic exhaustion.Is Technically 'Solvent."Germany is technically solvent asa government, but she will be eco­nomically bankrupt as a people. WithRussia it is a question of the supplyof men and food. France is well offfinancially and Great Britain has un­limited credit. With them it is onlya question of men. But neither isGermany in danger of going to thewall because of financial or economicdangers."The only exhaustion, then, thatcan stop the war is the exhaustionof men and munitions. .By way ofmen, Great Britain ou�ht to have4,500,000 for the third year; France1,450,000; Russia 4,500,000 and Italy1,000,000. A conservative estimai¥!of the total number of men to beginthe third year for the allies wouldbe 11,450,000. The most that thecentral powers could have would be3,900,000. They ,,,uld be outnum­bered three to one."The allied powers, moreover. willhave more advantages as far as mu­nitions are concerned. AlthoughGermany began the war with muni­tions far superior to those of theallies, at the present time it is doubt­ful whether their munitions are asgood or as plentiful. Nevertheless,Germany has a supply of coal andiron sufficient for all her possibleneeds.

"By G_eorge V. Hobart.Garrick Theater.By Howard Mumford Jones.Some time the theater managersare going to learn one thing fromthe grand opera company, and thatis to moderate their advertising. Itwould be possible. I suppose. to bill"Carmen" as "the most wonderfulopera on earth" and to hang up inthe lobby commendatory sentences byFarrar, Caruso, and Percy Hammond.Or imagine "Tristan and Isolde"­"the world's greatest lo v e story!""Incidental music by R. Wagner!""Recommended by the clergy!" What­ever the reason, however, the impres­sario displays a - commendable reti­cence in puffing the artistic merit of-his wares.Not so the gentlemen who are re­sponsible for "Experience." Staringheadlines announce it as "the mostwonderful play in 4merica," and asyou enter the lobby quotations fromthe clergy testify to the worth andsafety of the performance. I believe- . there is also a word from the gover­nor of Massachusetts. I am sorry tions, the abstrnctions must be im­mediately obvious. It follows thatthere is little room for variety inpersonification. that the characters'can utter only platitudes, and thatthe drama becomes dull. "Experi­ence" is the dullest play I have seen.:'Ihere are ten episodes. The start-·ling novelty of the production canbe imagined from their titles: "In theLand Where Dreams Begin" (cottagein the lane-girl with white hair rib­bon-youth in store clothes-railfence, etc., etc.); "The PrimrosePath .. ; "The Street of Disillusion";"The Street of Remorse," and so on.In the cottage in the lane aforesaidYouth bids goodby to Love (girl withwhite hair ribbon-tremolo on violins)to follow Ambition (gentleman inthe uniform of the Illinois NationalGuard) into the wicked. wickedworld. In the street of Vaccilation,Youth meets with Pleasure and Ex­perience. Experience is a middle-agedgentleman who sticks to him closerthan .a brother. utters epigrams of thepost-card variety and is generallyuseless. After that Youth goes frombad to worse by way of Pleasure,Intoxication, Gambling, Disillusion­ment and Crime. Why is tile young.man in the abstract so preternaturallybad? .I have said that a long allegory isusually inconsistent. Youth in this"moral show" is sometimes a veryconcrete' and flippant young Ameri­can (when the play approaches musi­cal comedy); sometimes youth in theabstract; sometimes youth consideredfrom the inside, and sometimes fromthe outside; and occasionally he seemsto change places with Experience andbecome the raisenneur. And so itis possible to go on. Why shouldGood Nature appear only in the gam­bling scene? Why. does Curiositysay three words to Youth and leavehim forever? If Experience -goeswith Youth to the House of LastResort, why should Yolith make .sucha deplorably bad waiter?There is in what I saw of themo*lity :one good 'SCene and poegood piece of acting. The House ofLast Resort, a low dive in the city.has certain elements of novelty anda near-approach to satire. AndFrailty. as : Mary Mallon does thepart, though crudely done and a littleout of key, is vivid and actual andconvincing. Some of the minor partshave a certain zest-Blueblood, In­toxication, and the Roulette Dealerof the Fourth Episode.You can buy the-er-libretto inpaper covers for fifteen cents. If youare curious to know what Experienceis like, it is cheaper to do so. Ofcourse you will miss the incidental- music. but then, Experience is a"moral show."The United States has been incon­sistent in its policy toward othercountries, if we are to believe JohnM. Zane, of the Chicago bar, whoaddressed the students of the Lawschool last night in the south roomof the Law building. Mr. Zane de­clared that the American governmentbas been most zealous in upholdingits claims when least in the right andhas seemed most desirous of· evasionand procrastination when in the right.for Massachusetts.The joyous Artemus Warde, it willbe -remembered. toured England withhis "moral show." This is Mr. Ho­bart's moral show. Excepting for thecostumes of Fashion there is nothingin it which your sister could takeexception to. As a moral perform­ance it is as safe as safety vault,and about as exciting.Experience is an allegory. That is,it starts out as an allegory. Nowthe pleasure of an allegory consistsentirely in the accuracy of the emo­tion. We like to see the aptness ofthe abstractions personified, and takea curious pleasure in our ingenuity inhearing one thing and understandinganother. An allegory can not be mis­ty or .even- contradictory. like a sym­bolistic drama where the merest sug­gestion sets our imaginations free.An allegory is a stark mathemati�l'formula.So far as I know there have beeno)lly two perfect allegories written�. � "Pilgrim's Progress" and· "Every-man." The perfectness of Eve�is due to the fact. as much as to'.1'-t anything, that the arc of· time in-\ l eluded in the play is so small that�,." the author could hardly go wrong..ifr • j\ ·,(The perfectness of "Pilgrim's· Prog­.;r-l� - ress" is another thing.)
