Mr. Danville was worried, however (writes a fauig Chrabic representative) by the war that is popularity was on the ware. He read into slight incidents signs that he no longer ocupjited the posi tion on the variety stage which was once his. Retly he complained to a fellow artist at a Lendon marshal! that his name was at the bottom of the bill instead of at the top, and, further, that it was not printed in the large-size letters to which he thought he was entitled.
Until the day before his disappear. ance Mr. Dunville was appearing at the Grand Palace, Clapham Junetina.

The scream was T. R. Daarille.
His was a short, pointed,, emphatic style designed, it seemed, to confuse the orchestra, whose members possibly called it between themselves, a crazy stacente. It was as if the comedian had come down to the footlights deliberately to challenge the unhappy fiddlers to a feat of tempo;
RAILWAYnd their failure to follow him with anything even remotely resembling success seemed to be as great a joke to the audience as the quaindy arrayed. comedian himself.

at a meeting of the Anti-Socialist glition and Reron- struction Society, held in the Westminster Technical Institute, said the alternative to Bocialism was some reform of the present capitalist system of industry. Improve ment must be made along the lines of greater provision against unemployment, The reognition of the human status of the worker, and fair remuneration for the labour performed. This could be achieved through the principle of the Whitley Cou cils. Those who condemned trade unions did not know the first elements of the problem of industry.
