ON HI MEXICAN


In a very interesting letter
this week Henry Clews. the
famous New York banker.
gives this summary of the
Mexican situation, says the
Grand Forks Herald.
The time gained by efforts
toward mediation between
Mexico and the United States
is of priceless value. 1t gives
opportunity for o~verteated feel
ings to subside as we'll as for
sober second thought to assert
itself among all concerned.
Huerta no doubt realizes that
the United States is in earnest.
So. to, must Carranza and
Villa. War would mean an
end to the political ambitions
of all three. The way is ap-
parently now opening for HUI
erta, the chief cause difficulty,
to withdraw if a fair opportun-
ity is offered. His political
elimination in case of war is
inevitable. His personal lib
erty would be in peril; also his
life and property, which he can
best assure by withdrawing.
He now has the choice of either
surrendering his political am
billions and preserving his lib
erty and property, or going to
war and possibly losing all
three. 1t would seem as if he
would certainly choose the for
mer,. especially if his exit is
permitted without humiliation &.
1t would be premature to as
sumo that the Mexican difficult
ty is ended. One dangerous
crisis has been passed, but
other bitches must be expected
in the long negotiations which
are still in prospect; Mexican
evils being altogether too deep
to permit an immediate solu-
ton. Out of the muddle CT
the past few weeks a few con-
trolling facts are gradually be-
coming more clear. The first
is the United States is over
whelmingly opposed to war.
The second is the administra-
ton at Washington has opened
the door to mediation. The
third is that European powers
directly interested are at one
with the United States. The
fourth is the entry of the A. B.
G. powers in South America
argentina, Brazil and Chilli
as a factor in the international
policy of the Pan-American re-
publics. Their inclusion in
the negotiations will in all
probability be helpful. 1t will
help soften the suspicious of
the South American republics
toward the United States, and
it will CRAFTY South American
ambitions to be considered as
of Importance in the family of
nations. 1t will certainly be
good policy for the United
States to consider any friendly
suggestions from that quarter;
while Mexico will have the ad.
vantage of securing sympathet.

THE NEW CENTRAL.

With two-reel Seiig as the head liner. a cracking good comedy, one of the Vitagraph's best productions of the week, with Hughie Mack, Leo Delaney and pretty Noma Talmadge in the star parts, to say nothing of an educational treat, the New Gen. tral may well feel proud of its big program for the second day in the New Year, which will be viewed by hundreds there today.
 The Vitagraph picture proves that all English noblemen are not as the cartoons would have them, for in The Honorable Algeron," there is seen a man of noble blood who is not ashamed, when broke, to try his hand as waiter. and he makes good and gets out Of his financial difficulty.
 Those who use talcum powder will be interested in knowing how it is made. You can ascertain by seeing this feature at the New Central 70. day, together with many other excei- lent reels, for which this house is noted.

 ''Soul of the South" is the story of Southern girl during the stress and strife of the civil war. The piece in- cludes some of those unexcelled bat tile scenes by the Kay-Bee Company. and it also carries you through the chivalrous atmosphere of the old South, a period that Is dear to every Southern heart. To our patrons we wish to say that the equal of this drama has not been produced in a year, and you will miss a real Classic if you overlook it,

THE ROYAL.

From the American Kineto Com pany we received for today their great four-reeI feature, taken from the play by Travers Vale, The Girl of the Sunny South"
 Fairly exuding the enchanting at. mosphere of that fascinating period the days before the civil war, "ThA Girl of the Sunny. South" is as fresh and welcome as the flowers that bloom in the spring. The author selected the ante-bellum days for no other req son than to obtain atmosphere and action. Those were chivalrous days. Two young scions of Southern aristoc- racy are rivals for the hand of the same girl. The plot carries the &C., tion of the piece through the stirring times of the war and there are some beautiful and thrilling scenes enact ed, both on the field of battle and in the Southern mansions. With their return home comes the working out of the romance. This picture is the equal of the famous Player films.
 Three other big reels: Lubin's, "The Death Trap; Pathes comedy, "The Couple Next Door" and Essanay'S, comedy, "A Vagabond Cupid"

AT THE PRINCESS.

It all depends upon what particu- lar kind of vaudeville act you like as to which is the headline act on the present Princess bill. There are five acts, all of a different character and anyone of them is capable of headlining the best vaudeville bill.
 Probably the most spectacular act pany, in Roman Sports and Pas times" a combination of athletics and strength with a liberal amount of comedy. Without doubt it is the great est feat of strength ever seen at the Princess. LaVeen, the strong man of the company, performs some of the most marvellous feats and does them with such ease that one does not realize that the man he handles with such a nonchalant air weighs over 200 pounds. His physical deyel- opment is the marvel of all and kis posing shows off his remarkable mus cular development to great advant- age.
 The act is staged in the time of the gladiatorial sports of ancient Rome and the settings are historically cor rect and strikingly beautiful
 Another act to which many conced- ed headline honors is that of Faye, Two Coleys and Faye, a remarkable blackface quartette, two men and two women, in a splendid repertoire of songs and comedy. The act abounds in some new and classy comedy and some excellent musical numbers rem dered by the quartette. It is one Of the classiest negro characterizations that has ever visited the city.
 John A West and his Grand Opera Wolf, are another unique and enter taining combination. West in his Brownie" character with his com edy work, and the novelty of the trained Siberian wolf that sings grand opera music, made a big hit with first day audiences, everyone re- marking upon the wonderful training of the wild animal.
 Samayoa, the Spanish aerial won. der, brings an entirely new mid-air feat. His act is performed upon swinging loop, instead of the usuai trapese, without. the aid of nets or ankel straps. His ,paraphernalia is set in front of the stage and in his daring swing he propels himself near ly to the rear of the theatre, adding spectacular sensation to his act.
 Herrick and Wells, singers de luxe, are one of the best vocal teams of many a week past. Their solos and duets add a charming variety to the bill, while the smart costumes and winning stage manner of the lady, joined with the excellent singing of her male companion, creates splen- did number.
 It all depends upon yourself which one of these five big acts you like best. No bigger or better bill ever played the Princess. Don't miss it.
