BY W. H. CLAGETT. Dear Folks: Partly from a feelin’ of dooty to our incomparable commonwealth, and partly because my old friend General Amos Fries, big Minnehaha of the Chemical Warfare Division, U. 8. A., asked me to drop in, I spent nigh on to five hours around the Belasco Thea- ter last night, and between listenin to the ketchy strains of Victor Her- bert's classy little opry, “M'lle Mo- djste,” as presented by our own “Washingtonlans,” and watchin' an- other bunch of local thesplans re- heares the monster minstrel perform- ance that's to be staged at the same theater next week, take it from me, I sure was kept movin'! O’ course, you all know that the two entortainments are bein’ put on under the auspices of the Leglon of Honor unit of Almas Temple Shrine to heip deefray expenses of its membership to San Franclsco next month, when everything allowable will be done by local Shriners to snatch the Im- perial Councll session of the'order for little old Washington, D.

Forbes of the Veterans’ Bureau, and Rivers, commandat over Fort Myer way, Representative Mondell, and last but by no means least, about 500 brave lads whe fit and bled for our country, durin’ the recent scrapfest, brought in by their nurses from all nearby government hospitals! Walter Reed, Mt. Alto, Silver Spring and the U. 8. Naval Hospitals all sent big delegations, and as the Legion of Honor boy are all ex-service men, the whole affair quickly switched into and from the rehearsal last night they've not worked in vain.
