 Secretary Bryan's Recent Loss
 Secretary of State Bryan came down to the state department a few mornings ago looking rather haggard and worried. So careworn and gloomy did the secretary appear that for long time no one dared disturb his reserve and apparent woe. He was wrapped in four or five layers of the very larkest gloom and dejection. Finally when someone summoned enough courage to inquire if the secretary had lost a near relative or something Mir Bryan said. no it was not quite that bad, but he had lost s3oO the night before.
 Much astopishment was expressed by his inquisitor. He wondered to himself, if not to the secretary. how MT Bryan could possibly have lost $500 as he knew that the head of the state department was not in the habit of indulging in eth- CT auction bridge or draw poker. He ven tured to inquire of his chief If someone had broken into his house and stolen the money. No" drawled the secretary, Mrs. Bryan informed me this morning that I had been talking in my sleep last night"

the Introduction of the characters as
they appear in their frame of gold at
the opening will have no difficulty,
Miss Carlotta Nilsson sustains the role
of Leah. 1t is a fine Interpretation.
Her delneation of the woman who is
reared as the daughter of thief, who
aids him in his marauding excursions,
and who is brought to see the right
through the guidance of the man she
loves. alternates with strength and
tenderness. Leah is "A womanly woman.
House Peters is Paul SYLVAN. Deputy
of France, who first meets Leah at the
Charity Bazaar, and who falls in love
with her as she also falls in love with
him. His work is finished and will
command and hold the sympathy OF
his audience. Hal Clarendon is
Kleschna, the father of Leah; Schram
the accomplice, is portrayed by Alex
ander Gaden. These two are vigorous
and convincing. Vincent Sternroyd,
an actor of much stage experience, as
General Berton makes his debut in
pictures and does well. Frank IL. Crane
is Raoul Berton, the young blood who
turns crook, believing he can fasten
his theft on Leah. Madeline Traverse
is Claire Berton, Anabel Denison is
Carlotte and Elcnor Flowers is Sophie.
The acting is even and praiseworthy
There are many strong situations,
one of them hishly spectacular. some
dramatic and several pictorial. The
staging of the Charity Bazaar, where
the two thieves had gone to rob but
to rescue when the confla-
grafton started, is realistic. The scenes
of panic as the crowds storm the
locked door, the final releasing of the
imprisoned persons from the smoke
filed rooms, the carrying out Of those
overcome and the crumblng of the
flame riddled edihcc constitute the
feature of the first reel. a few Of the
scenes of dramatic force are the dis
rovery by Paul of Leah in his home, !
where she has come to rob, and the |
atcr entrance of Raoul, where, spur
red on by the discovery OF a hand |
he also finds Leah and de-
1ounces Paul, Leah sacrificing herself |

SOCIAL PROBLEM
CONFRONTS NURSE
Miss Benner Finds Many
Homes Without Food Or
Fuel.

Problems Of social service confront
Miss Florence Benner, visiting nurse,
almost as often as questions Of medi
cal skill or of nursing. In Richmond
Miss Benner said she had found a
condition to which she was unaccus-
toned. Some homes to which she is
called do not have food. Where she
has been working she said it was no
uncommon thing for homes TO be with
out fuel, or to be unable to pay their
rent and fuel bills.
When she enters a home in answer
to call where this condition exists,
Miss Benner must not only give her
services as a trained nurse, but feels
that without food and fuel in the
house, medicine will do little good, SO
she must supply the other needs. Ev-
cry day she is called upon to help get
positions for persons out of work. One
woman, sick and unable to work,
asked her today to send washings to
her home. Because she is the sole
support of the family she said she
would get out of bed to wash.
Where the need is so pressing, med
icine and nursing must go hand in
hand with an effort to improve the
conditions, according to Miss Benner.

FEARS JAPAN WANTS

Sen. Lodge Believes Huerta
Ready to Grant Naval
Base.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-John Lind,
President Wilson's personal envoy to
Mexico, has been instructed to report
to Washington all facts bearing on
the understanding between President
Huerta's government and Japan.
This action is said to be due to a
discussion precipitated by Senator
Lodge when the president met the SEN
ate fore "a relations committee. Ac-
cording to general reports here, Sena-
tor Lodge is convinced that Japan is
angling for a naval base in Magdelena
Bay and believes that prompt action is
necessary to prevent such grant by
the Mexican government.
Administration O. icials expect that
Mexico is getting arms from Japan and
think that the Japanese government is
cognizant of it's merchants dealing
with agents of Huerta.
