been presiding over our court
this week.
Judge Daniels, while person
ally unknown to most of us. wss
no stranger. As the law asso

with dignity, dispatch and firm
ness of dicision.
Judge Daniels will always find
a warm welcome by our people.
A Play For Patriots
"The Fall of a Nation" is sure
to stir patriotic enthusiasm when
presented for the second time
here on Wednesday, Jau. 24 at
the MAJESTIC. In New York
and Chicago the great spetacle
was the mecca of many tnous
ands of patriotic Americans who
cheered the big scenes to the e
cho. Thomas Dixon's play (as
Victor Herbert's accomqanying
music) vibrates with genuine A
mericanism. The author des
cribes it as "a bugle call to arms
for the national defence!" The
story is of an imaginary invasion
of the United States by a foreign
power. After the defeat of our
puny army and the subsequent
usurpation of authority at WashT
ington, the women of the count
ry come to the rescue and by
means of a secret, oathbound
conspiracy contrive to expell tie
invaders.
