They have their reward in knowing that to direct public opinion fairly will be as effective in bringing this war to a close as is sticking bayonets into Uhlans.
The stage, as well as literature, has found many ways in which it can serve the army.

One theatre is giving all the money taken in at the door to the Red Cross; all of them admit men in uniform free, or at half price, and a long list of actors have gone to the front.

Among them are several who are well known in America.

Robert Lorraine has received an officer's commission in the Royal Flying Corps, and Guy Standing in the navy.

Gerald du Maurier has organized a reserve battalion of actors, artists, and musicians.
There is not a day passes that the most prominent members of the theatrical world are not giving their services free to benefit performances in aid of Belgian refugees, Red Cross societies, or to some one of the funds under royal patronage.
