The change of bill Thursday brought
new faces and new acts for the final
vaudeville program of the season. s.
Miller Kent. an actor OF the legitimate
school offers novelty in the way OF
a crook play with several new twists
TO the situations that keep up the in
terest. The Real Mr.. O." starts off
a bit talky and nothing OF particular
consequence happens until Mr.. Kent
as physician. leaves his office and
the stage is darkened. Then the bur
glars appear and the developments
are exciting and surprising. ". II.
Nicholson and James r.. Parks assist
in the dramatic action.
A full stage scene representing a
bedroom is the novel setting employ
ed by the DoTlans The act is all in
pantomime and the laughs are fire.
quent The lady OF the team makes
a chic appearance as the maid and
the man does grotesque acting and
finishes with excellent tumbling on
the bed which is transformed into a
tramoline net.
Baron LIGHTER entertains at the pi-
anO with eccentric comedy and freak
playing. His burlesque opera trio is
splendidly done. While the act opens
slow he finished nicely. The Keough
sisters offer familiar songs and close
with a Spanish number in which the
dancing is most creditably done. Nc
AvOy and Trumley have a routine OF
crOssfire and nOnsensical patter, with
which they win frequent smiles.

Cameron DON LAD
Wants wilson TO
Open JAIL Doors

Carrying a petition signed by gov
ernors, county officials, mayors and
thousands of citizens who ask that his
father, who is serving a life sentence
in the Wisconsin State prison, be par
doned, Leslie Dietz, son of the defend
er of Cameron Dam, is in Whining

see President Wilson. Dietz Will re-
main here until the middle of the
week securing signatures to the par
don application.
The story of the elder Dietz's strug-
gle to save his home, his trial and
conviction, reads like a novel. The
story has been made the basis Of a
thrilling motion picture. During the
fight before his homestead Dietz and
his son are said to have stood on a
large number of special agents.
Young Dietz was arrested, tried,
convicted and sentenced TO twenty
five years Imprisonment for killing
one of the officers. II was later dis
covered that Dietz's alleged victim
was alive and unharmed and the gov
ernor of Wisconsin was forced to par
don the young man.
Since his release Leslie Dietz has
devoted his entire time to efforts to-
ward securing the release of his faith

Lovers OF peace
enter WAR Protest
Society Tells Nation Causes
of Present War in
Europe
BLAME IS LAID
ON ARMAMENTS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE enor-
nous armaments Of European nations,
compulsory military service exacted
from the people, the Unsuitable ambi-
tion" OF certain rulers 'to increase
their personal power" and 'intolerable
secret alliances" between nations are
among the causes of me European war
cited in a message to the American
people," issued by the American Peace
Society, calling upon peace-loving peo-
pie all over the land to unite in prayer
tomorrow and continue their efforts
each succeeding day until world peace
is restored. The message, which is
signed by Senator Theodore E. Burton,
president of the society and Arthur d.
Call, director, follows:
"Ihe frightful consequences Of the
present European conflict are likely TO
be beyond the widest conjecture. Never
before in the history OF the world have
such large numbers Of men and such
quantities OF armament been engaged
in mortal combat, never before have
such deadly machines of warfare been
loosed in the destruction of man and
of property. Many thousands of lives
are being sacrificed daily and viii con
tinue to be until this terrible conflict
is stopped.
"Ihe causes OF the war are not hard
to understand nor difficult to explain.
The maintenance of enormous military
and naval armaments by the nations
of Europe, costing no less than $1,000
100000 annually, and compulsory
military service, have inevitably stimu-
lated warlike spirit. IL has been al
legged that this vast expenditure was
for defense; that it was for the main
tenance of peace, but the present war
is an irrefutable answer to this argu-
ment Men unarmed are not liable to
commit murder; nations unarmed do
not engage in war. Again. certain SOW
ereigns have had an Unsuitable ambi-
tion to increase their personal power
and to extend the territorial limits of
their country, regardless of the cost in
men OF money. Then, too, there have
been the int0lerable secret alliances
found upon an outgrown conception Of
effective statecraft. Added 10 these
causes are racial and religious animos-
tiles which have existed for centuries,
and trade rivalries and jealousies which
have been constantly growing more
