DEPARTMENTS ATTITUDE

Secretary Lansing is of the opinion that
 the phrase persona non grata is one
 which indicates a mental attitude. That attitude may be caused by anything. It
 may be personal dislike, temperament or
 personality. The Secretary also consid-
 CTS that it is not incumbent upon this government to ask for safe conducts for withdrawn as a matter of courtesy to supposed to be immune from seizure, but when Dr. Dumba left the United States he asked the state department to secure safe conduct for him and the request was granted.
 According to the official view, the state department asked that the attaches be withdrawn as matater of courtesy to the German government Should it so desire, the department could discontinue method of removing their names from the state department lists. They have no credentials. When attaches arrive at an embassy .the ambassador informs the state department of the fact and their names are placed upon the officia, lists of the state department. If their names are removed they have no official status. Tn the case of Boy-Ed and Won Papen, however, the government desires that they leave the country. They are not wanted here even In the capacity of private citi- zens and the state department will be sat isfied only when they have crossed a bor- der or are outside of the three-mile limit.
 Reports were circulated today that ne- gotiations for the settlement of questions growing out of the sinking of the Lusi- tania would be discontinued by Ambassa- dor Bernstorff until the present contro- versy were settled. It was pointed out at the state department. however, that the ambassador and Secretary Lansing had conferred about the Lusitania questions as late as Friday, after the request for with drawal of the attaches had been made.

 Marguerite Clark appeared at the strand yesterday in the Famous Play CTS version of "The Prince and the Pauper." This picture will again be shown at the Strand today.
 Miss Clark has appeared in several pictures of the Famous Players com pany. Her first was 'Wildflower," about year ago, and it was her masterpiece before the camera. Miss Clark has never equaiied her work as "Wildflower" and in "The Prince and the Pauper," she is merely good to look at. Still "The frince and the Pauper" is not at all a bad picture. but at the same time it is nothing extraordinary.
 ''The Alster Case" with Bryant Washburn and Ruth Stonehouse, will be shown at the T-ianon today. This is an Essanay Y. l.. s. l. feature based on a mysterious murder.

It is the same situation as within the Law" with a few slight alterations to avoid too much plagiarism.

 the benefit of the unfortunates
 4 who come under the attention of the welfare department, will have its first performance at the Jefferson theatre on Friday night. There will also be a special matinee on Satur- day afternoon.
 Everyone who is able should pur- chase tickets for the Christmas fes- tival. The money derived from the sale of these tickets represents real, sincere charity. It will go where it will do the most good and men and women who are offered tickets should reason well with themselves before spurning the opportunity to do char itable act. Come on, folks, help the Christmas Festival along. Make the affair a success, for 1t means much to the unfortunate girls of the city and environs
 As for the Christmas festival as an entertainment, it will be of a preten- tious nature. The mGsic is of high order and has been composed by Miss Daisy Rowley who also wrote the li- bretto. The cast that will present the Christmas festival is numerically large and from the rehearsals it is predicted that a delightful surprise IS in store for all those who attend the Jefferson next Friday night. The Christmas festival is being given under the aus pices of the Girls Social Service club.
 At the Jefferson tomorrow. matinee and night, The Red Rose" q mus.cal comedy will be heard. Advance mo- tices are to the effect that this piece is handled by a highly capable conl- pany this season, and some excellent voices will sing the splendid music of this sprightly comic opera.

 Fstimas are not the only cigarette that measure up to all these requirements. There are other sensible ones.
 But Fatirnas seem to have a big margin in their favor on their good taste. Otherwise they could not outsell all other cigarettes costing over Sc.
 You can't tell whether they will just suit your taste until you try them.
 At the same time, you can easily prove how sensible they are by these two tests.

Dispatches from Berlin indicated
that England is likely to be the scene
of more aerial raids by German air
craft. The editorials in the Londonl
newspapers and the speeches in par
lament condemning the Teutons as
barbarians will have no effect. War
isn't confined merely to the killing of
soldiers in opposing armies. This
struggle is between nations and If one
government can succeed in forcing
another to quit by keeping an entire
people in a state of panic il is certain.
~ going TO take advantage of such an
opening. The naval attack on the
English coast towns and the recent
Zeppelin raid have done more to rack
the nerves of the English than all the
naval attles and land fighting in the
entire war While armies do the fight
ing and the killing, in the final analy-
sis the people as whole make the de-
cisIon. A war can be successfully
waged just so long as il is backed by
public opinion. It is hard enough for
a people to send their young men to
the front and hope that they will come
back Such a situation requires one
kind of courage. To go TO bed at
night with the fear that your home
may be scattered TO the four winds by
a bomb before morning creates
strain that few nervous systems will
stand. When you can break the 9TH
