The existing situation is extraordinary and indefensible. We have not declared war against Russia or any of the Russian factions, yet we are aiding and abetting war against that which is in actual control of the larger part of Russia.

We are placed in such an anomalous position as to expose us to the charge of having some secret understanding with4 other powers. There is no ground for any such charge, but our failure to take an open, positive stand has afforded the enemies of the Administration a chance to make political capital. No real Americans have any sympathy with Bolshevism. Few of them, on the other hand, have any patience with a policy that blows both hot and cold in the same breath, which is feebly assisting war-making while assuming not to be making war at all, which is earning hatred without securing results, which is exposing Americans, to death and hardship without subjecting the 'Bolsheviki the slightest inconvenience. In the language of the President to the Anti-Leaguers, it is time for us "to put up to shut up" as to Russia, to get out to get in.

CHARLESTON AS A PUZZLE CITY. The letter published in The Sun yes terday from a staff correspondent, describing the apparently abnormal situation in Charleston, S. presented by the nomination of John P. Grace for the Mayoralty, suggests a political puzzle much more difficult of explanation than that involved in the defeat of the Demo cratic party in Baltimore at last spring's election. The Charleston municipal campaign, and the result of it, are, in fact, almost without parallel in this country.

Here are the leading features of this unique political picture A Southern city, distinguished for its pride in itself, and(in its Americanism city which abounded in all patriotic works during the recent war which is not accused of being dominated by German votes or German influences which has no reason to hate Great Britain, and in which the Irish vote is not as strong as in many others the chief city of a State which has never had any sympathy with pacifism. In this in which there are not half a dozen white Republicans, and in which negroes do not vote in municipal contests in other words, an absolutely white and an absolutely Democratic city, in which a nomination is equivalent to election there 'is nominated at the Democratic 'primaries for Mayor a man who was as much of a pacifist as Henry Ford, as much of a hater of Great Britain as De Valera, as bitter a Wilson-baiter as Jeremiah O'Leary. The issue of loyalty, the issue of Americanism, the issue of Democracy was made against him, his whole war record was set out in scarlet, but he brushed this issue aside and won on the question of eliminating a franchise to wharf property, and building up the town commercially. This did not happen in a section such as that which elected Berger to Congress. It was not the result of a three-cornered contest at a regular election in which a rival candidate slipped in because of divisions in Democratic and Republican ranks.

It is the verdict of a city which always goes Democratic in local elections, and in which the white man rules unchallenged. What does it mean? What is the answer? If this puzzle picture had been presented to readers in other sections be fore the primaries, with all its features clearly explained, and they had been asked to find the winner, 99 men out of a hundred would have declared that it was too easy, that there was no puzzle about it, and that Grace's opponent, Hyde, was certain to win. And yet he didn't, and the puzzle consists in the fact that he didn't. In no other city in the United States, except possibly Chicago, would either of the old parties have permitted such a candidate as Grace to wear its uniform. They would not have dared to back him.

In Charleston, S. where there is only one kind of political wool, which is pure white and a yard wide, a man who made himself almost as famous or as infamous as many who were indicted or interned for too free speech in other sections, is rewarded by the gift of the Mayoralty. Does this mean that Charleston did not believe that what Grace wrote in his paper, the Charleston American, day after day, was written with disloyal intent? Does it means that it sympathized with his utterances at the time they were written and sympathizes with them still? Does it mean that Charleston is affected by the poison of Bleaseism and that the Hill-Billies wanted to get in a lick at the old aristocrats? Or does it signify that a large number of Democrats there be lieve the war is over and are more in terested in reconstruction and municipal efficiency than in war cries, war issues and war gods? If the latter be the case, how far is the Charleston spirit likely to be re fleeted in other parts of the country in the near future? Is Charleston really abnormal, or is it getting back to normal more quickly than other places? Is it a crank town or a forward-looking one? Is it a back-slider or a forerunner? i'ershmg may not be a candidate for President, but he gave himself a great boost when he told the junketing committee of investigation to go to, and refused to appear before them. He was lucky, too, when the chairman, of the committee charged that he acted in con tempt of the people's will. That Frederick county gentleman who wants Warden Leonard, of the Penitentiary, to pay his board bill for the part of his term he did not serve is the only man in the world with that sort of reasoning processes who is not a parlor socialist.

Is there any; particular significance in the fact that Attorney-General Palmer was confirmed without a record vote, after a long and -unusual fight? We may not know exactly the motives of the Republican Senators who Op-posed Mr. Palmer, but when we remember Mr. Palmer's job during the war, we locate some interests that doubtless ap proved the Senators.

McK. John Banyan On The Treaty Fight. In this combat no, man can imagine, unless he had seen and heard as I did, what yelling and hideous roaring the senator made all the time of the fight he spake like a dragon and, on the other side, what sighs and groans burst from Woodrow's heart. I never saw him all the while give so much as one pleasant look, till he perceived he had wounded the senator with his trip through the country then, indeed, he did smile, and look upward but it was the dreadfullest sight that ever I saw- Quoted In Chris.

The Program Here. Cardinal Mercier wil.

remain' in New York until tomorrow morning, reaching Baltimore in the afternoon at 4.45. He will be met -t the train in Mount Royal Station by Governor Harring ton, former Governdr Phillips Goldsborough. and the members ofwthe committee of between 200 apd 300.citi-zens who have made the arrangements for his reception in Baltimore. From the derrot he will go to the residence of Cardinal Gibbons, whose guest he will be during his stay in this city. Discussions of these and other ar rangements came to a climax yesterday at the meeting at .12.30 I.

M. in the ballroom of the Southern Hotel. Oardma Gibbons was present, having a seat on the platform, and former Governor Goldsborough presided. Cardinal Gibbons spoke first, saying that, as he had expected, the meeting was of a civilian, rather than a clenca nature. He paid a fine tribute to former Governor Goldsborough, saying lie be lieved he had been "inspired by a power from on high to appoint the chairman of the committee of the laity.

Vast Outpouring- Expected. Governor Goldsborough, addressing the committee, declared Cardinal Mer cier would reach Baltimore tomorrow afternoon. "There should be a great outpouring of people on that day, said Mr. Golds borough, "for there is coming to Balti more from Belgium not only a prince of the chnreh, but a prophet and martvr." Ex-Governor Goldsborough's talk to the committee dealt also with the re ception planned for Monday night at the Fifth Reciment Armory and meeting on Tuesday Bight at the Lyric Theatre, when Cardinal Mercier will speak through Baltimore to the Ameri can people. To Admit To Armory.

It will be on Monday that most of the people, of Baltimore will get an Opportunity, io see tne uciuiv uciwu churchman. If necessary, Governor Golds borough announced, the people will be admitted to the armory in relays, 10,000 at a time, for it is expected that a'vast crowd will want to see Cardinal Mer cier. Most of the people will have to see him- then, if at all, for the gathering at the Lyric on Tuesday night mus necessarily be limited in size. It will be there that both Cardinal Mercier and Cardinal Gibbons will speak. As Governor Goldsborough suggestec vesterday.

The error was due to Senator France himself, who in his speech thanked "my good friend, Mr. Kushner, for inviting me to speak under the auspices of the Socialist Labor party."

The large majority of the non-machine voters, still indifferent to their political responsibilities, stayed at home. The primary was almost wholly a machine politicians' primary, and the result was the defeat of Eugene O'Dunne, whose candidacy for the nomination for State's Attorney was virtually the only phase of the contest which was higher than the lowest ebb of machine politics. The people who th'nk of themselves as good citizens, who talk of themselves as good citizens and who assume the good citizens' rights of criticism of public affairs are entirely at fault for this result. For the rest, the primary was so distinctly a contest between machine candidates that it would be difficult to extract much comfort or disappointment one way or the other. However, Stephen C.

Little's renomination for Clerk of the Superior Court is an outcome which is creditable to the Democratic party. Although identified with one wing of the machine and a regular of regulars, Mr. Little has been an acceptable official, as has been shown repeatedly by the in dorsements given him by members of the bar. His nomination seems to have been due, too, as much to the support of inde pendents who took the trouble to vote as to the support of Kelly's faction, which is a pleasant circumstance. Mc- Nulty's renomination for Sheriff was the best that the Democrats could do as be tween him, Gerceht and "Weiss.

And Senator Frick's renomination in the Third district over Jcre J. Santry will give satisfaction. But these elements of good in the re- sults, the nominations of Little, Me Nulty and Frick, cannot compensate the independent-thinking Democrats of Bal timore for the harm they have brought upoti themselves and upon the community in permitting the defeat of O'Dunne, who clearly was best equipped for the office that in many respects was the most important to be filled this fall. SENATOR BORAH. Senator Borah, who regards the League of Nations as a covenant with hell and the President as an arch conspirator with the powers of darkness, has, it appears, a tender spot in his heart for Lenine and Trotsky.

In his address in the Senate Thursday on our Russian policy, he described the blockade against tAem "as more harsh and cruel than any enforced against Ger-mny by the Allies." The Senator from Idaho seemed ready to weep over the woes of the gentle Bolshevist leaders. For the League of Nations and its plan to preserve peace he has only the fiercest detestation. Neither God nor man can persuade him to support such an atrocious scheme. And for Woodrow Wilson he has only the most implacable hate. But Lenine and Trotsky, and presumably Butcher Peters, should be saved at once by the Senate from the devilish persecutions to which they are being subjected.

Senator Borah appears to plead for them as martyrs and victims. His sympathetic heart is 'torn with anguish at the sufferings the Allied blockade has inflicted upon these champions of righteousness and democracy. Possibly he might be willing to vote them a couple of billions or so and get them to come over here and teach us what democracy means. There is no weakness, however, in Mr. Borah when it conies to dealing with wickedness such as that embodied in the League of Nations or with American malefactors'like the President.

He is made of stuff too stern to condone such iniquities or to pardon such offenders. Help pool, persecuted, angelic Lenine and Trotsky, but smash the arch villain Woodrow and his abominable scheme to prevent war. We have puzzled our brains in the vain attempt to understand the mental processes and psychology of Prussian representatives of thought. But we defy the Prussians to trot out anybody who can match the strange mind and morality of this American Senator from Idaho. We wonder if the same arrogance, the same diseased egotism, the same supercilious and overweening feeling of superiority which made the Prussian Junker the mad man of Europe have not made Borah an intellectual brother of the mentally perverted Hun.

It certainly is the only charitable view to take of an American Senator who in one breath pleads for Russian monsters and in the next hurls maledictions at the peace covenant and consigns to political perdition the evangelist of international good will. TIME TO DO ONE THING OR THE OTHER. Senator McCormick's resolution to recall all American troops now in Europe and Siberia and to provide that no addi tional troops be sent abroad, except by the express authority of Congress, pre tsents more than one issue. So far as it relates to our obligations under the pend ing peace treaty, the resolution under takes to anticipate the action of the Senate. Under the treaty our troops are, to form part of the army of occupation in the Rhine region for fifteen years, but they would be a comparatively small force, and they would consist of men who enlisted with the' knowledge that this might be part of their duty.

The men who are being sent overseas now to relieve troops in France are largely, if not entirely, men wno have entered the service with the understanding that they might go abroad. This part of the McCormick resolu-Son is objectionable, because it attempts io invade the province of the treaty and to nullify one of its provisions. But that clause of it which relates to Russia floes bring up a question which ought to be decided one way or the other. It is more than time that our Russian poljry should be declared distinctly and sftyally. We should either make real at to or or a Today Almanae For Baltimore.

3. The I.ove Of A Politician For Dear, Poor Humanity. To the Editor of The Sun Please, Mr. Editor, won't you help us all you can to have the milk law changed in order that those who cannot afford pasteurized milk can have milk in its raw state? You niust know. that hundreds of people are doing without milk every day who should have it that there are more deaths from lack of.

milk than from impure milk that people in moder ate circumstances cannot afford milk for cooking, thereby preventing food being as nourishing as it should be the idea of a few men getting together nd telling several hundred thousand people how they must purchase milk and if they cannot afford the high price they put on it, to do Everyone knows the reason, and it is tne queerest thing on earth to 'toe how people stand for such insolence. The people of Baltimore! Jiave thrived on raw milk for hundreds of "years and it is a great hardship to do without, as many ofiis are doing, in order that a fejyjtnay become rich.

He is listed here as a "club organizer, but the writer would like to have some light thrown on his origin. The follow inr would also be 1. What, interests brought him here? 2. Who is financing his nefarious campaign? 3.

What previous "lines" has he nan died? His political efforts have thus far been a dismal failure. His representatives (described by an unbiased witness as ninhead politicians), in the last State Legislature, endeavored to get very dras tic enactments (aftecting Catholic in stitutions, etc.) through, but were un successful. Mr. Waldron, why don't you use some of your talents in an endeavor, to sup press the scurrilous publication known as the Menace? Or, perhaps you might admit that you are here for the purpose of fathering said It any red-blooded American subscribes to its utterances, then he Should move to Rus sia; In any event, if the doctrip.es enun ciated by you and the we shall soon learn what it means to live in verv bigoted and socialistic sur roundings.

Baltimore, Sept. 7. tions being entered antp on. our part. To quote from his writings vr7 know-' it is at" maxim with us; Ford'i tt Polly anna." "Pollyanna," a play adapted by Cath erine CVhiswold Cusning from Eleanor H.

Porter's story of the "glad girl," was presented at Ford's Opera House, last night. The story, which by reason of its cheeriness and its lovable heroine won so many friends, gains nothing through its stage adaption, for the play somehow misses the humor and human- ness of the book and brings out too much of the sentimentality. Moreover, its presentation last night was a mediocre conception and while the little bur lesque that was allowed to creep in in the third act when Tom Chilton saw his sweetheart after 20 years', separation, amused the audience, it was not justi liable. The second act was decidedly the" best and most realistic. As, Miss.

Viola Harper prseents Polly anna, she is not the live, wise nttie person that Miss. Porter managed to make her, for Miss Harper's Pollyanna is too obviously and consciously glad, and while Miss Harper has considerable personal charm and has the trick of fall ing into attractive poses, she is not suf ficiently natural to make the glad girl effective. So many times in giving Polly anna's childish philosophy she gave the effect of reciting. The brightest spot in the performance is Jimmy Bean as he is brought to life by William Blaisdeii His performance is an unusually fine piece of juvenile work. His acting i8 absolutely natural, but shows under standing and genuine stage ability.

He was everyl bit the wholesome boy who has the misfortune to be also an orphan boy with dreams. The play works in the main threads of the story, with the first scene showing the ladies' aid at work on the mission box and Pollyanna arriving at her aunt's home in time to meet what she calls her "ladies' aiders" and start right off on her gospel of gladness. She wins all the villagers and finally wins John Pendleton, the wealthy, grouchy old bachelor, who had shut himself up in his castle for 20 years because of an unhappy love affair with Pollyanna's mother. And then through a fairy tale that she had learned from her mother Pollyanna shows Pendleton that her mother had always loved him, which clears up pretty completely the bitterness that had been cankering his soul. Finally, Pollyanna was badry hurt and was threatened with paralysis.

Somehow, in working for her cure, Aunt Polly Harrington and her lover, Tom Chilton, were brought together. Moreover, Jimmy Bean, who will be remembered as Pollyanna's little orphan, has grown into a resplendent young man of 17 years by the time Polly comes back from her five years' treatment in Europe. Gertrude Rivers, one of the ladies' aid, made a good character study of Mrs. Gregg Katherine Itober, as Nancy, Miss Polly's servant, amused the audience, and George Alison was rather effective in the role of John Pendleton. Hippodrome La Follette And Co.

La Follette and Company, in spectacular, and classic dances, lead the bill at the Hippodrome this wek. Ranging from classics to modern dancing, the company has one of the best acts seen for some time at this theatre. King Brothers, comedy athletes, perform verv creditable bits of juggling and gymnastics. Faber and McGowan in a sketch entitled "Going North" were well received. Fred Ferdinand has a good aft.

incliifUns monologues and singing Allan Downing and Rose Bunnin evoke laughs with their mirthful antics, and h.ivp spveral eood songs. The Thirteenth featuring Yvonne Delva and Creighton Hale, leads thp motion picture part of the program. This is an unusually interesting and thrilling picture. Mutt and Jeff comedy, a Sunshine comedy, and Loew's weekly review complete the photoplay part. Colonial "TraiU)f Lonesome Pine" That most touching of stories of Virginia mountain life, "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine," is offered at the Colonial 'this week, and throughout the dramatization of John Fox's famous novel the scenes follow closely the original story of June and her fight for love over family feuds.

Jane Ware gives to the character of June, the little barefoot girl of the Virginia foothills, a touch of pathos and dramatic strength which is exceedingly vivid. She is ably assisted by a strong company, and the whole performance merits the-highest praise. Special scenery has been prepared and it is realistic in the; extreme. In "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" the management of the Colonial has put on a play which is sure to please its patrons and, judging from yesterday's attendance, is bound to be a record-breaker. Palace "Sporting Widows." Al.

K. Hall, burlesque entertainer, brings to the Palace Theatre this week an entirely new version of the "Sporting Widows." Hall and his show are old favorites with burlesque patrons, and year's "Sporting Widows" offers many new "stunts" as well as a brand new line of comedy and catchy songs. The show is billed as a musical frivolity and is entitled "There Was A Fool." It lives up to its name and reputation. Hall does his share toward making the show just what it is supposed to be a frivolous mixture of music and foolishness. As Ura Simp, Hall "gets away" with a continual line of chatter and horseplay, which keeps the audience amused.

He is ably assisted by Charles Mac, George Wiest and Phil Smith, all of whom have comedy parts. Eddie Aken plays the dual role of a lawyer and a general, and is funny. Among the leading female parts are those taken by Flossie Everette, June Levean and Billie McCarthy. The show is in two acts and six scenes, one of which shows "Jagland," which is. very amusing.

Hall has a chorus of pretty girls with him, and their singing and dancing are of the usual variety. Qayety "Record Breakers." Clever burlesque with many new features, including song and dance hits, last night marked the. first offering of the season at the Gayety Theatre, where Jack Reid and his "Record Breakers were well received. There was plenty of jazz in every number to add life to the show. Jack Reid was at his best in his familiar part, the "Dope" for after the second, sniff he was on humorous terms with all of Uncle Sam's poorer relatives.

In fact, even to the beautiful pony of the chorus, all the girls were satisfied he could shoot crap any day with Eugene V. Debs or John D. Rockefeller. Miss Gertrude Beck, soubrette, and Miss Bert Humphreys, vocalist, offered a number of new songs and parodies. There were also a number of other clever comedians and good voices, and 20 lively girls in the chorus.

At The Movie Theatres; Douglas Fairbanks' latest picture and the- first release of the United Artists Corporation, is playing at the New Theatre all this week. It is one of Mr. Fairbanks' most pretentious productions, and it has been staged elaborately. A strong cast was selected to support Mr. Fairbanks and includes such screen favorites as Marjorie Daw, Frank Cam-peau and Sam Southern.

Eugene O'Brien, a popular matinee actor, is playing all this week the Parkway Theatre, in 'The Perfect Lover," a story of one of those artists with a charming and susceptible personality. Mr. O'Brien plays the role of Brian Lazar, a small-town youth, who. paints a picture through the inspiration of Eileen Hawthorn, his sweetheart, which wins him recognition and ie attention of a wealthy married woman. The Strand Theatre has Eugene O'Brien the first part of this week, io "First Faith," and Robert Warwick, in "Secret Service," the latter part of the week.

Maryland Keith Vaudeville. Valere Bergere returns to the Mary land Theatre this week in a sketch far distant from those she has presented here in recent seasons. She has steppel from tne character impersonation of the Jap anese miss into the role of Mrs. Laura Thompson, an American woman, and has a one-act playlet, "The Moth," which scores better than her Far East offerings of the past. The story of the play weaves comedy and deep, dark drama together, with comedy conquering in the end.

She is supported by Herbert Warren, Ivan Christie, Violet Barney and Eflie Bor dine. Then there are two dancing produc tions which win eaual honor on the bill, those of the Masconi brothers and Lois Josephine and Leo Henning. The offer ing of the Masconi Brother? is called "Dancing Odds and Ends, and practi cally every phase of eccentric (terpsi-chore, with many new "stunts." is presented. They are assisted by Elsie La-Mont, Josephine and Henning gave an entirely different group of dances, dances which bar "stunts," but are none the less cordially received. Their voices are good and their vocal numbers are original, clever and pleasing.

Ted Shapiro, at the piano, adds to the with his selections. Margaret Young, singing comedienne, specializes in songs which are new, and though she was compelled by applause to lengthen her program, she maintained the standard of her offering. Genevieve Houghton and William Sully, in "Between Dances," present a light offering which includes singing, dancing and comedy lines. The singing and dancing are better than the comedy. Rill vfJla son presents a clever mono logue on timely topics and sings several i i songs and paroaies which unug mc laughs.

Elcleve is a "scene not on the bills." He is a xylophomst and wins much applause with his offerings. Asabi and his company work in magic and mystery, closing the bill. The act includes illusions and Japanese novelties, and closes with a spectacle called "The Human Fountain." Myrtle and Jimmy Dunedin open the bill with a cycle act. The Pathe and Hearst Weekly films are shown. Garden "Easy To Make Money." Bert Lvtell and his latest picture, "Easy to Make Money," proved a scream at the Garden yesterday.

This is an extremely humorous photoplay and depicts Lytell in his schemes at accumulating a "Married Via Wireless," a musical comedy, full of scenic and mechanical effects, leads the vaudeville bill. May Pollard and Clyde Dilson, assisted by a chorus cf pretty girls, sing a number of catchy songs in this sketch. Elsie Bergere and company, in a -novel posing act which was well received, follows the musical comedy closely in popularity. Dave Harris sings syncopated melodies in catch manner. Ezra Matthews and companv have a comedy sketch entitled "Quick 'Sales." The Broadway Trio, in a singing and dancing act, closes a well- balanced bill.

La Bell's Birds Victoria. Featuring the bill at the Victoria last night was a novelty act, La Bell's Birds, which included performing owls, followed by Allis and comedians. The latest in clever steps was offered by Creighton and Stamm. "The Aviator," a tabloid operetta, a timely combination of song, dance and humor, presented by Restina and Barrett, was an agreeable mixture of laughter and music. Segall company's clowns varied the bill with rough and tumble.

Vivian Martin in her latest photoplay, "Louisiana," was the film feature. It depicted the trials of a country girl who is obliged to leave her parents and home. Folly "World Beaters." There was a good dash of comedy in the "World Beaters." the attraction staged at the Folly Theatre last night. George Slocum and Tim Healy un corked many new and funny ones in their rapid-fire banter, netween tnem-selves and pretty girls. Everything was new from the girls lingerie to the flowers on the scenery.

Eva Clark and Mae Seavellem offered a number of new song hits and clever steps, which were well received. Bert Harrison and George Moore were funny, too, and had no objection to the girls feeding them. There was an exceptionally well balanced chorus of 30 pretty girls, which lent a lively, ring to the en- tertainment. CLERK TO PRACTICE LAW William C.

BLIND FIGHTERS BEGIN STUDY Sixty At Opening: Of Fall Term At -Kvergrreen Junior.

Sixty former soldiers, all blinded in the great war, began yesterday their fall term of studies at the Red Cross Institute for the Blind, at Evergreen Junior, the place at Guilford given for this work last year. by Mrs. T. Harrison Garrett. There were no formal ceremonies attending the opening of the term.

L. W. Wallace, director of the institute, merely received the pupils and the instructors in a brief talk and outlined the work that is to be done. It is the object of the institute to make the blinded soldiers self-sapporting and economically valuable members of the community. The present course lasts until December 29.

While it is probable that blinded civilians may be admitted to the institute in the future, this step has not yet been decided on. Woman Sent To "Pen" For A Year. Eva Hermanson, alias May Gerber, alias Ruth Owens, against whom there were seven indictments for passing bogus checks, pleaded guilty yesterday in Part 2 of the Criminal Court of obtaining money by false representations. She was sent to the penitentiary- for one year. The checks were drawn on banks in Washington, where the woman is wanted to answer similar charges.
