PAIN WILL NOT ENTER
PRESENT EUROPEA WR"
. H. Borlla Says Madrid Government
Lacks Necessary Financial
Resources
"The possibility of Spain following
the example of Portugal in entering
the present European war can only be
entertained by people who are unac-
quainted with the history of Spain
prior to her separation from Portugal,"
said R. H. Bonilla, instructor in the
Spanish department in an interview
yesterday. "According to these people,
Spain would sid with the Central
Powers and endeavor to assimilate
Portugal, or perhaps enter the war
against the Allies with the sole idea
of taking revenge for old grudges.
Nothing is more remote than that. The
Portugal of our day is a very poor
ward to be desired by any country."
The instructor continued: "With an
enormous public debt, a budget su-
perior by far in its expenses to the
contributive power of her five million
inhabitants, an administration show-
ing the symptoms of an irremediable
disorganization, and a public spirit
opposed to anything which is not Eng-
lish, she could not fail to become a
nursery of perpetual internal discord
as a province of Spain.
Moreover, the present financial con-
dition of Spain does not fit her for a
new war. Although, with the very high
taxation of about 93 pesetas ($18.60)
per capita and a deficit of probably
290,000,000 pesetas a year in her bud-
get, still she can provide for all her
necessities; it would be a difficult
probem for her to And resources for
a new war, especially when no foreign
loans could be expected. Certainly the
best thing Spain can do is to remain
neutral as at present. Everyone feels
this way, though personal sympathies
may point to one side or the other."
THE CAMP1S IN BRIEF

Hail and Farewell
For over 40 years Forbes-Robert
son's distinguished personality a
art have been a familiar delight t
playgoers. He has decided to retir
rom the stage at the zenith of his pow
srs and will be seen for the last tim
in this city at the Whitney theatr
Wednesday, March 22; matinee a
night. No will be disposed to den
that he has well deserved Mr. Bernard
Shaw's description of him as "th
greatest classical actor on the English
stage." He has touched nothing tha
he has not adorned; he has attained
heights where he has been without a
peer and in every circumstance he ha
thought and made others think nobly
of his art. So it happens that he has
established a high claim upon critica
esteem as well as upon public affec
tion.
More than a generation has been en-
riched with a notable gallery of crea-
tions and he closes his career with
the knowledge that by undisputed ad-
mission, his Hamlet is the finest pres-
entation of the part which the modern
stage has seen.
At the Majestic
Vaudeville will give way to comedy
at the Majestic on Thursday and in-
stead of two shows at night, only one
will be given, starting at 8:15 o'clock
The people of Ann Arbor will have a
treat given them when Nancy Boyer.
that well known stock actress make
her first appearance. She will change
her bill daily.
Thursday night only, Miss Bcyer
will appear in "Jerry," Billie Burke's
great play. "Jerry" is a four act
comedy by Catherine Chisholm Cush-
ing and is essentially an American
play. The title gains its name from the
leading role of a young woman from
Chicago, who goes to visit her aunt in
Philadelphia, and once upon the scene
Jerry proceeds to upset the love af-
fairs of the household and wins a
husband and happiness out of the
chaos into which she has thrown her
hostess.
During the four acts Miss Boyer will
wear six gowns but recently designed
for her by Adler & Co., New York.

And sweet are the maidens fair,
But that maid who has in her hand
a glove (points)
Is the one for whom I care.
