The Davis theatre had a well filled house on Friday evening to see the musical comedy The Only Girl, which was presented by a well balanced com- pany whose voices and stagecraft made the play a pleasing vehicle for entertainment. The chorus numbers were given with harmony and spirit and the lines brought out responsive laughs from the audience at their tell- ing’ points. Willilam Naughton imparted vigor and realism to his characterization of the libretto writing bachelor scornful of married life, but finally finding that there was one only girl even for him. Ruth Thorp as the only girl was win- some and scored a hit in her pretty solo numbers. Adele Hassan won ap- plause for her soprano solo and danc- ing and William Lennox was particu- larly a favorite with just enough of a Scotch dialect to flavor his speech nicely. As Patsy, a soubrette, Marion Carson was well suited. to the part, making a hit with her songs and dancing, in which the chorus gave her admirable support. One of the realistic touches that added no small part to the play was by Théodore Kehrwald in-the character of the butler. The music was by an orchestra of a dozen pieces, including a harp. FUNERALS.

Ay CRISIS THIS SPRING OR §3IMMEB » Can be Looked for in Balkans, Séys Dr. Hulbert, in Talk to That the critical point in the world- wide war will be reached this spring and summer was the prediction made by Dr. Henry W. Hulbert of Groton in his lecture on Travel Experiences in the Balkans before the Men’s Club of Park Congregational church in the Osgood Memorial parish house on Friday evening. In making the pre- diction Dr. Hulbert said that the Teu- ton will be driven out of the Balkan peninsula_and out of the Roumanian and Slavic sections of southern Hun- gary. The lecture was preceeded by a brief business meeting, with President Robert Johnson in the chair. Dr. Hulbert, © who was introduced by President Johnson, spoke of the geo- graphical, racial and historic condi- tions that surround this grectest con- flict of‘the ages and' touched on the possibilities of Constantinople as a great world city at the junction of two great continents. The lecture, fluently * and convincingly delivered, held the close attention of all from the very beginning. It is more and more d¢vident said Dr. Hulbert, that the gigantic worid- War now waging not only had its oc- casion and its fugdamental causes in the Balkans, but that its major issue, will settle the future of Southeastern Burope as well as that of the Bos- phorus-Dardanelles water hizhway in- to the Mediterranean. The_ entrance of the Ottoman and then the Bulgarian into the war on the side of the Teu- tonic allies made certain that, soon- er or later, tlie hard and the determin- ing fighting would make that _his- toric peninsula- the deciding battle fleld of the war; as, indeed, it has been again and again the spot where the destinies of the world’s life has been settled. Here met the Persian and the Hel- lene and made certain that Occident and not Orient should control the entres of civilization. At Philippi (42 B. C.) and at Actium (31 B. C.) Imperial Rome picked up the decad- ent factors of the classic age and weld- ed them anew into the order and pow- er of a ‘united empire, ‘to hold the world at bay until a new and a betier civilization should appear. At Ad- rianople (July 3, 323 A. D.) Constan- tine the Great, champion of the perse- cuted Christians, put down the pagan imperial rival, Lucinius, and made cer- tain that the centres of civilization for all time to come should be Christian. So now again the des- tinies of empire not only for the Bal- kans_and - the FEastern Mediterranean but fcr the whole world seem to be awatiting their hour as the modern contestants face each other on this histcric battlefield. Highway of The Nations. ¢ It is, consequently, with a peculiar fascination he said, that we turn our faces Balkan-ward for a little this evening and study the conditions, geo- graphical, radical and historic, that surround this determining conflict of the ages. A cursory glance at the map shows the speaker indicated, that this re- =ion is a natural highway of the na- tions, proved through the whole his- toric period as Goth and Vandal and Hun and Slav snd Bulgar and Mag- var and Ottoman swung westward along the shores of the Black Sea to enter the fair garden of Southern Furope. At once i is evident that the determining @eographical factor in this section has been, not a mountain range (the Balkans) but a majestic river—the Danube—rising in the very heart of Europe on the eastern slopes of the Schwarzwald in the Grand- Duchy of Baden, 2850 feet above sea level, and flowini with gathering tide, generally to the southwest, 1875 miles to pour into the Black Sea more wa- ter than comes into it from all other confluents. Indeed when the Danube fills this vast catch-basin of the Black Sea it may be said to pour its mighty fresh-water tide down through the Bosphorus and. the Dardanelles _and real’y empty Into the tideless Med- iterranean. Down The Danube. Dr. Hulbert gave at some length an account of the trip he took as a traveller and newspaper correspondent in September and October, 1885, down || the entire navigable length of the Danube to Rustchuck, Bulzaria, where today the Bulgar-Teutonic army is organized to face the inevitable drive from Russia and Roumania. He described the Hungarian expositfon at Buda-Pest, where were gathered rep- resentativgs of every type of life in the Ringdom, including those sectlons directly involved in the outcome of the present war, Bosnla, Herzogovina and Transylvania. He told of his personal touch with Bosnia, Servia (especially Belgrade, its capital). Roumania and Bulgaria’ as well as (later) Greece. He described the exciting steamer ride down through the sixty miles of raptds in the Iron Gates where the Danube breaks through the Carpathlan range, Eastern Roumelia, having just revolt- ed from the Turks to join Bulgaria, made it seem certain that war would arise. The bugles and war-drums echoed throughout the land and the steamers down the Danube were crowded with_ soldiers. Patritism ran high at every port of call. Facing New Development. Landing at Rustchuck and going by rail to Varga, the seaport on the: Black Sea, the #eaker found the. little prin- cipality in the crude beginnings of its strong modern life. Its broad. fertile fields gave promise eventually of _a powerful development of life. Its cities and villages were.all torn up with evidences of modern improve- ments and schools were in process of building in every direction. At Constantinople Dr. Hulbert found the Turks pounding vigorously on the rivets of their loose-jointed men of war in the Golden Horm, but their general unpreparedness and the strong pres- sure from the great powers enabled the rebellion of Eastern Roumelia to become a revolution and war was averted. The speaker enlarged - up- on the possibilities of Constantinople as a great world—city at the joining of two great continents—¥e found - it hard to predict but has high hopes that Russia will eventually be contant to hace Constantinople, “The City of the Czar.” a free, neutral state under the protection of the great nations, having a territory covering almost twenty miles inland on either side of the Bosphorus. __As for the Turk, the speaker would be content to have left to him a limited principality in North- west Asia Minor ‘with ancient Brusa as its capital. - He found himself ut- terly opposed to bringing back a “By- zantian Empire” with the modern Greeks in control. He rather favor- ed extending the borders of Greece to the islands of fhe Aegean and _ the coast of the mainland of Asla Minor, embracing practfcally the anclent ter- ritory of classic Greece. Dr. Hulbert give good report ot Greece which , he visited in 1888. He found her school system superior and the outlook good for a growing by staple commonwe: h. Prediction of the End. He closed with a prediction that the critical point.in the whole = war would be reacheq this spring and sum- eventually be united soas to make that land laid the masis of moredn civil- ization in the ancient Hebrew days and later has given the world her first universities under the great liberal mer when the Teutor¥ would be driven out of the Balkan pe: flla and out of the Roumanian & slavic sections of Southern Hungary—Nothing . can save the Ottoman empire but an early and separate peace -with the Entente allles and this can harilly be expected with the fall of the Turk. We can see he said, the faint administration of a new Armenia and the organizatién of the Arabic speaking séctions of the south into a Semitic commonwealth, under British tutel .and in which Arab, Syrian and Hebrew would Khaliphates, once more to take her strategic places with world's life. As a mark of appreciation of “the lecture a rising vote of thanks was given Dr. Hulbert. The club members with their guests then adjourned to the dining’ room where a light collation was served. The club membefs have received an invitation to_aténd the address to be siven in Broadway Consregational church on Feb. 22, by Dr. Ussher of Stonington, who_will speak on his experiences in Van, Turkey, where he spent some time as a medical mis- sionary. . During the evening there ‘weré se- lections on the latest Edison diamond disc phoncgraph, the machine operated by Leonard the Edison city, being of Spurrell Laboratory, New SHORT CALENDAR MATTERS BEFORE JUDGE SHUMWAY Division of Claim Made Against Fen- ton Buil g Co.

Labor Commissioner Hyde Points to Its Record as Proof. Hartford, Conn., Feb. 11. — Labor Commissioner William S. Hyde said todayerthat the statements that there was a scarcity of female factory op- eratives in the state was true only as it applied to skilled labor. In the east- ern part of the state, where there was a large number of girls employed, the demand for skilled female help was greatly in excess of the supply. He also knew of a factory in Litchfield county which could be kept running night and day if the owners could se- cure all the female help needed. Commissioner Hyde said reports from superintendents of the state em- ployment agencies showed that every one who had the slightest skill what- ever could easily obtain employment in factories. It was equally true of male help. The commissioner referred to the remarkable increase in the business of the employment agency in Norwich to illustrate his statement and inci- dentally to show that the recently ap- pointed agent, George L. Chesbro, has built up the office. Last month Mr. Chesbro obtained positions for 172 ap- plicants. Up to that time the average was 25 a month. He was not restrict- ing his efforts to the time s; t in his office, but before and after office hourg he was seeing employers to learn if they wanted help. Deputy Dairy Commissioner Thomas Holt said the trouble.this year with the farmers would be the difficulty of procuring hglp to do the farm work, as ‘workmen were all finding employment in factories. Bishop Walters’ Vi Bishop: Alexander ‘Walters of’ New York, who is coming here on Sunday for -his . episcopal visit to M ley avenue A. M. E. Zion church, is also to be a lecturer before the Union Ly- ceum at the church Sunday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock. On Monday . evening Bishop Walters will speak at' a meet- ing in the church and Rev. E.
