A Concernine "Tlio WnmU'rer," tlie big Bceuic production in which Nance O'Neil and James O'Neill, famous as Monte Christ", and others star, which conies to the Vuge Saturday evening, Wnlter Anthony, writes as follows in the San Francisco Citron iele : "The Wanderer" sparkles with the lovely rhetoric of Hebrew, and it is as colorful as a Bach phrnise. It sines and sings and makes you love it, pven if you went to the Cort theater, as I did last night, to scolf. I thought "The Wanderer" was one of those plays which was built to at tract the clergy and smirk at the sport. "The Wanderer" is merely the story of the "Prodigal Son," told in three nets of great beauty. It is sometimes so fine that you feel the tug of a tear. There is always the dignity of the book by Maurice V. Samuels, to whom my hat is off for catching the spirit of his storv and preserving the spirit of a big inspiration. Samuels t.'.kes his prodigal son from the en virons of the hills near llcbrom and 'brings him tp "the city." Introduces ltomaiieo The city in this case is Jerusalem. It might be any city so far as the facts of it are concerned, for then' are robbers there, and scndcrs nnd wastrels and harlotsjust as there are in country towns, too. Hut the prodigal son wastes his substance in riotous living, and, broken and re pentant, he returns To' his ancestral halls just as is told in the liiblicul story. But Samuels has deftly placed i.i his plot something which is not told ii our good book. Samuels gives ro mance a chance and pleads mother love. In n scene in the third act tl-ere is a splendid vindication of the feminine note in our orchestral scheme of the drama. No less n voice than that of Nanco O'Neil pleads with Jesse, her husband in the story, to take their last born to his arms. And the eye that can look on Nance O'Neil when she makes this plea, or the ear, that can hear t.cr voice and not register emotion, must bo a very dry eye and a very deaf ear. Stars l'lay HoIqs The prodigal son meanders far from propriety's path, but is never revealed as evil or aonormal rven when he denies his own god. The de nial is a matter of the lips and is not related to the heart at all. His God knew. In the part of Jesse, James O'Neill performed a role which called forth all that quality of devotion and sin cirity which has endeared him to me nnd you since Hie days of "oMnte Cristo. O'Neill has tenderness, sen timent, imagination and voice. Hi; Voice no longer young takes 01 the hues of youth and he doesn't have t' force aa utterance since it wells u from the heart of liim.

(t)y the As sociated Press.) In the fight oft the Dutch coast on June 4, five British seaplanes of the largest type out fought nineteen German seaplanes. One of the enemy machines was sent down In flames and another driven down out of control, according to a description of the fight written for the Assocated Press by Ensign K. B. Keyes, a United States naval aviator. Previous to the encounter one of the British machines had descended to make repairs and the Germans set upon four other machines protecting the Injured one. Ensign Joseph Eaton, another American aviator, was oii the injured muchino and he was subsequently interned in' Hol land. Two Americans In Crews Ensign Eaton and I were the two Americans among the crews of five flying boats on a North sea patrol,' says Ensign Keyes. "West of Ter- schilliag, Eaton's machine had to alight on Iho surface owing to engine trouble. We stood by. circling in the air and waiting for him to repair the damage. Soon five German airplanes hove In sight. We took battle forma tion and went for them. I was in the front cockpit with one gun and 400 rounds of ammunition. In the stern were three more guns and their operators. "The Germans flod at our approach but I had the satisfaction of getting several rounds Into them, altbo it is impossible to say whether there were any effective lilts. After a time four enemy machines came circling back, and soon afterward we discovered ten hostile machines coining from an op. posito direotion. They were joined by five more, making 19 in all. Itattlo Against Odds "We four swung Into battle post tion and charged into the middle of the enemy fleet. When we wore near. ly within range, four planes on the port side and five on the starboard rose to our level, while two of the enemy majchiaes passed directly be neath us, shooting upward. 'The firing was Incessant from the heginalng and the air was blue with tracer bullet smoke, tho Germans us ing explosive bullets. We kept up a fine running fight for ten miles, until we drove off seven Germans, sending one down out of control and crashing anothor in flames from a height of two thousand feet. Tho five other machines were severely punished by our gunfire. The wholo engagement lasted a half hour and I think wo did very well."

With Medford trade la Medtord mad NEW YORK, Juno 20. In a state ment denouncing a suggestion of European socialists that Gorman anil Austrian delegates bo invited to at tend a "plenary international con gress in the near future," the Amer ican Alliance for Labor and Democ racy announced today that American socialists endorsing the cause of "this and other democratic nations" would send peven prominent members of their party to liurope to present to European socialists "tho American interpretation of democracy and in ternationalism," and "to beg them to stand with us solidly united for vic tory." According to the statement, A. M. Simons of Wisconsin, who will head tho delegation; Louis Koppelin, so cialist editor, and John Spargo and Alexander Ilowatt, socialist and labor loaders, have sailed for Kngland to join Charles Edward Russell und Pro fessor George D. Ilerron, who already are ovorseas. Prank Holm, tho sev enth member or the delegation, will follow them soon. The delegation's first duty will be to attend the conference called by the British labor party in Loudon on Juno 28. Later the Americans will go to France. Italy and Switzerland to confer with socialists In thofc countries. After emphasizing the alliance's opposition to "tho wholo Stockholm conference scheme, rbot and branch," and assorting that nothing ran be gained by 'conversations' about peace at tho present time," the statement adds that "as socialists and internat ionalists, wo are not opposed to the right kind of a 'conference.' " Some of tho conditions i membership to the congress are enumerated as follows: "Tho unconditional acceptance by each and every delegate attending the conference of tho peace terms of de mocracy, as formulated by President Wilson on Jan. 8 and by tho entente sociulisls In London on Feb. 2.
