linen day at the great John D. Gray
Department store, every stitch of
linen in the building will be offered at

The GRAND FRIDAY

King Baggot will appear at the
Grand on Friday I'm Shadows" Won
derful photoplay which was written,
acted and produced by this popular
actor. 1t is seldom that we get the
opportunity to witness a play of this
kind and especially where the princi-
pal actor does all the acting himself.
In this play King Baggot takes the
part of ten different actors, those of
policeman, Italian, girl, mother, jailer,
wayward son, Chinese servant, thief,
father, innkeeper and as he is today.
This is a feat that has never been ac-
complished before on the moving pic

METHODIST CHURCH
SOCIAL LAST NIGHT

The social in the parlors of the
Methodist church last night was we'll
attended and greatly enjoyed by all
who were present. ..-.
An unusual amount of latent talent
was discovered by the informal and
extemporaneous program that the
committee in charge followed out.
The number who we're ready to re-
spond with readings and songs both
interesting, amusing and entertaining,
was a surprise to everyone present.
AS usual formality the bane of most
social gatherings went out the back
door as this good natured and frater-
nal group came in the front. During
the course of the evening, Mr.. and
Mrs. Jake Eckel who are soon to re-
move from the city and who have been
associated with the church for the last
seven years were presented with a
beautiful bake dish, as token of the
esteem and good will Of their many
friends in the church.

MADE IMMORTAL BY GENIUS
Writer Tells Of Sordtd Places That
Are Made Bright by Memories
Of DickenA

Mr.. F. Hopkinsoa Smith, while n
London, sought out and visited the
various places made memorable by
their connection with Charles Dickens
name. Mr.. Smith was especially i'm.
pressed by the fact that memories Of
Dickens were still vivid in the minds
Of the people. A little printer boy
showed him where Dickens earned six
shillings week, tytngsup and labelling
pots Of blacking.
"Oh, I know him, gov'nor," was the
usual answer Of the older Inhabitants
to Mr.. Smiths inquiries. "Oyer there
he used to live, and 1t amt far from
here to Camden Town, where he lived
when he was working in the blacking
)laca" He was even able to find an
urchin who could point out the spot
where Dickens dropped stealthily one
evening, with fear and trembling, into
q dark letter box up dark court in
Fleet street" the first OF tho sketches

He was especially pleased with his
visit to the house where Dickens went
to board after his marriage. OF this,
he says:
"The place is still a delightful,
typically English boarding house, kept
by two of the most charming old ladies
you ever saw. Dickens and his wife
occupied a little tucked.up room tackled
on to the back of the house. l meas.

Administration Officials Puz-
zled Over Affair But Are
Not Seriously Alarmed.

Washington. Nov. 19.-Tae United
States government directed Ambassa-
dor Henry Morganthau at Constanti-
nople to ask the Ottoman government
for an explanation of the firing by
Turkish land forces at the launch
from the American cruiser Tennessee
proceeding from Vourlah to the Amer
lean consulate at Smyrna, Asia Minor.
Secretary Daniels, with the approval
of President Wilson, simultaneously
cabled the commanders of the Ten
nessee and the North Carolina, also in
the Mediterranean, to avoid any ac-
tion which might embarrass the Amer
ican government; and to await specific
institutions from Washington con-
corning the general situation. These
steps followed the receipt of the mes
sage from the commander of the Ten
nessee to whom Secretary Daniels
will wire for further information. High
officials had not the least doubt Incl
dent to the matter where the respon-
sibility lay, and that it will be prompt
ly adjusted through diplomatic chan
nels. President Wilson is determined
that under no circumstances shall the
United States be involved in war with
Turkey. It is confidently hoped that
the Ottoman government will render
an apology if such is due.
A message from Captain C. Decker,
commander of the Tennessee is para
phrased in this statement from the
navy department.: "Captain Decker
wired Secretary Daniels this morning
that while proceeding from Vourlah to
Smyrna to make official calls the boat
was fired at. The consul is anxious
for the safety Of the consulate. The
Tennessee preceded and left Vourlah
at the request of the ambassador, and
is now anchored in the harbor of Scio
(Schios) Greece, from which Captain
Decker's telegram was sent. Secretary
Daniels wired for fuller information" ;"
With the navy's message as the
Dnly basis for Judgment, President
Wilson, and the administration officials
are considerably puzzled over the af-
fair. Two suggestions are vouchsafed
by high officials, although they have
admitted their views are purely spec
ulative. The firing, they thought was
probably friendly act Of giving the
customary warning by single shot
signifying to the Tennessee's launch
that the port of Smyrna was mined, or
closed or else that the boat was turn
ed back because It attempted to enter
without previous arrangements having
been made with the Turkish authori-
ties.
