EXPRESSES HOPE FOR'
NATIONAL THEATER
From Our Near Neighbors
Lady Gregory, Before the Drain
League, Givei as Idea of What
Americans Can Accomplish.
PRACTICAL ADVICE GIVEI
Lady Gregory, Irish dramatist and
with Yeats the founder of the Irish
National theater, expressed the
utmost confidence in the future of
the American drama and arced
Drama league members to begin at
once to found the American National
theater. The distinguished Irish
woman lectured at the Brandela the
ater Thursday afternoon.
"I believe you Americans will hare
your national theater," asserted
Lady Gregory. "There Is such a rush
in your life, something looking for
expression and the desire for help
fulness Is so strong with you.
"Aa Bergsnn said, TUe American aplrlt
Is o Idealistic, to profoundly sentimental,
and you are so curious about the Inside
f things.'
"People say to me. "But we are a new
country. We have not the rich folklore
of Ireland to draw upon.'
Esrltlas; Work Here.
"But you have a still greater Influence,
the emotion of the future palpitating be
fore you. Tou have such exciting work
here. All the nations mix here. Tour
work ia to digest, aa it were, all the
nations. This you will do either by
natural assimilation, by the crash of a
great war or the welding; together through
a great literature very likely drama.
"How will you have a national theater?
Just by starting It; knowledge Is not
necessary. There was no one more ignor
ant than I when I started the Irish Na
tional theater.
"Here Is some practical advice: Begin
with a small theater, with a small, but
trained company.
"Avoid expensive productions. Man
agers are often obliged to put on elaborate
productions to please the largest number,
but that class hasn't always the best
taste. Expensive scenery is a mistake,
because you can't keep up with the mov
ing pictures.
Maintain Utah taaard.
"Here Is where the moving pictures will
benefit the theater In the end. They will
distinguish between the audience that
wishes to hear and the audience that
Wishes to see.
Shut out foreign plays and players. It
win encours.Ee your own kdooi oi dra
matists and you will find a strong enm
ity of characters In your own surround
ings. Maintain a high standard. Tou
won't succeed if you think of the theater
as an amusement.
"A national theater requires an endow
ment, though not a permanent one. List
tht American millionaire take the place
of the Italian noblemen of the Renais
sance, whose pride In their cities brought
many treasures to beautify their sur
roundings." Lady Gregory's talk was interspersed
with humorous accounts of the difficulties
of establishing the Irish theater. The at
tractive personality of the speaker,
coupled with her simple attire and quaint
flowing lace cap, entirely won her audi
ence, which packed the theater.
Miss Kate A. McHugh, president of the
Drama league. Introduced Lady Ore gory.
Grows Big Plants in
Bacterialized Peat
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
LONDON. Oct. Jack'a celebrated
bean stalk Is likely to be rivaled by
Prof. W. B. Bottomley, who has aston
ished agriculturists here with plants
grown In peat treated with bacteria. He
believes that the same process can be
applied to wheat growing as well.
Prof. Bottomley of King's college in
the Strand, has been conducting his
experiments on the roof of his college
building in the very heart of London.
The method by which he doubles and
trebles the size of plants and their fruit
was the result of a long line of experi
ments. He started Inoculating the soil
with a culture of bacteria obtained from
the root of leguminous plants. Boll so
treated, It was found, greatly Increased
the nitrogenous matter in the earth and
produced more nodules on the roots.
Peat was found to be the best medium
for the bacteria.
From eighteen plants fed on the bao-
terialised peat Prof. Bottomley cut seventy-two
cucumbers weighing a pound
each after a twenty days' growth. Six
teen sounds of tomatoes were taken
from one vine.
"There are thousands of acres of peat
in Ireland which could by bacterial
treatment be converted into a rich ma
nure and at least double the productive
ness of the soil," said the professor.
"Incidentally, it would give Ireland a
new Industry, for its practically Inex
haustible supplies of peat would provide
all that is required for the rest of the
United Kingdom."
The government has made a grant for
continuing the experiments.
DESERTIONS FROM JAP ARMY
CUftUf I tocr iiinnner
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
TOKIO. Oct. XlThe frequency of
army desertion, as well aa suicide of
some of the deserters. Is causing some
concern among the military authorities.
Statistics show that during last year
there were S6 cases of desertion, of
which n per cent were common soldiers.
Toklo leads other cities with 1M cases,
while there were 112 cases at Osaka, Out
of the total, 2GS soldiers were brought
before the military court and punished,
while CM deserters voluntarily surren
dered before the three days' grace had
expired.
The Increase of suicide among desert
era ia believed to be due to the reduction
of days of grace during the war from
six to three days, the deserter sometimes
preferring to kill himself than face the
shame of court-martial.
Deserters who surrender before the
three days expire are restored to the
service with a light admonition. If they
delay their return they become fugitives
and are peremptorily punished on their
arrest by the military court,
