POLES THEATRE

The scope and resources at the com mand of the Paramount Picture ser vice. being featured at Poli,s excFu- sively, is perhaps shown nowhere more forcefu1ly than in the release programmed for the last three days of the week, ssWi1liam Tell. This film story of the legendary hero of Switz- eriand was manufactured in 1Switzer- land, thousands upon thousands of dollars being expended in its perfec- ton.
 The photography in this picture alone, says one critic,i would be a mo ton picture feature anywhere. The beauties of the Alps with the snow capped mountains and picturesque valleys form a background that gives one who has never visited the country an idea. of it's grandeur. The dramat- ic end of the production is on a scale equal to the picturesqueness of it's setting. Kark Keinlechner, an actor of rare ability. is seen in the title role and he is ably supported by a most talented cast. The costuming of the play and handling of big scenes in which hundreds of characters appear are superb.
 William Te1l' will be shown at s.3o o'clock in the afternoon and at 830 in the evening.

Hsorty-fiye years ago today the worlds first postal card was first ts- sued by the Austrian post office of .Pic3als at vieuf1e The first in the tinted states appeared four years lat CT. after public demand forced the xovern1nant concession. The principal ssofficia1s argument against the, postal -.car-d was that such open commHnl- cation offered an excellent opportun1- s4v for the writer of libel to express his nefarfous work. Official opposition
 met with popular clamor In otner o,antries and various were the methods sa afTia,s lead. An EnElish army officer sirl India, where he missed the postal card he had become used to in Eng land. forced the Indian government to capifulafe. The government had claim@ ed there was no popular demand for snosta1 cards The officer sst out to fdernons1rate there was. He had postal cards with his own name and rank printed. and used them entirely for his own correspondsnce, of course obey Ing the postal laws by affixing stamps equal to letter rate postage. He indus cd sl4is friends to follow his example, The resulting flood of postal cards aroused the government. The army ofTicer was ordered to discoTtinue his cards He replied that if he c4sosed to write messages on pdece of card board instead of on sheets of paper, The post -off1ce could not compel him to enclose the card in an envelope. The legal advisers of the government sustained his claim and India was forced to adopt the postal card re- ducing the rate to half of the letter posfaSe.

THEN. ..... and...... NOW

Today the postal card is universal in the United, States nearly 1000, ooOs 900 government postal cards, enough to supply every man woman and child in the country 10 8. piece, are issued annually. Expressed in another way 1t means that American people are spending yearly about $f8, 900, 600 to carry on their correspondence by means of postal cards. In the forty years that postal cards have circHlat- theor number has increased nearly thirty times-the record for their first year of Introduction in the United States, in 1873 being about 31, COX, 900. Each year witnessed gradual in- crease in their popularity until the demand beame too great for the pri- vate print shops that formally printed the cards under contract, and the Pub Hc Printing Office at Washington took over the task. Today two great rotary presses, each capable of print ing, cutting and distributing the pos tai cards into packages of twenty lives, each package bound with pa per band, are turning them out at the maximum rate of 1000, GOO every work day of eight hours. It is claimed that Franco-GeTnan war, the first card making its zappearance5 in 1870 in the town of Madgsburg, in Germany. In the last decade the souvenir card has become of world wide institution.

TO IMPORT GOODS
 FROM GERMANY

Washington. Got. 1-No principle of international law stands in the way of the importation from Germany of sugar beet seed, dye stuffs. cyanide and other chemicals needed by Ameri- can industries, in the opinion of So1ici- tor Johnson of the State Department.
 Addressing conference of represen- tatives of these industries here yester- day, MT. Johnson said export cargoes rom a beII1gerent to a, neutral nation oculd not be considered contraband of war or subject to seizure if the good faith of the shipment was establish ed.
 The conference was called by the De- partments of State and Commerce to bring into concrete form the needs of the industries named. Secretary Red field presided and Secretary Bryan was that the State Department would act as a medium of communication be- tween American buyers and German sellers. Whenever g. shipment was ready at Rotterdam to be placed aboard an American vessel bound to the United States, he said, inquiries would be made of the bell1gerehts, which he felt little doubt would in sure safe transportation.
 It was pointed out to the conference that Germany had removed the ban first placed on the exportation of the SOAAAA4oo111eS AAS1t4OnS00 put 1nESGSL9d that they should be carried in Arneri- can vessels, and under guarantee that they would not be re-exported from the United States to any nation at war with Germany.
 Representative Metz announced that an American steamer vvo71Is he dis- patched soon by the textile in n@ustries to bring back a cargo already being assembled in Rotterdam from German factories
 The conference appointed 8 commit tee to confer with Secreary Redfe1d on future plans and was assured by the Secreary that the Commercial At tache off the American Embassy in IBeriln, recently appointed, would be sent to Rotterdam at once, if that proved necessary, and kept there while American business interests could be served.
