COLONIAL THEATRE.
Rule Sixty three, Two Reels, Featuring
 Bryant Washhurn.

This feature film is one of the famous Essanay society productions in which such stars as Bryant WaShburn, Char lotte Mineau. Royal Douglas appear. The story tells of Tremayne, fellow who. being divorced. calls upon a sys- vent his falling in love with Amelia Benton. She also calls in a disentan- gler. Then the two disentanglers fall in love, and when Tremayne and his wife are brought together through Rule Sixty three. Smith. president of the disentangling agency, regains his fiancee, Amelia, who has tilted him, and the adventures of the three couples end happily. Wally Van, that embodi- ment of merry wit and cheery presence, is the star today in a two-reel Broad way star feature. The story tells o1 Cutey, the matinee hero, who is the idol of all the gentler sex. He Is besieged by dattering propositions from the girls, the acceptance of any one would mean a matrimonial career, which In
 turn would mean to Cutey's managers
 great depreciation in the hero's box
 office value. Accordingly the managers
 arrange to insure the star against mat | rimony. Upon hearing this, Cutey plans a crusade to poster the mana
 gers. and arranges engagements with every female member of the company Detectives are put upon his trail and
 at the last moment the unexpected oc- CUTS. Just what this is, is best told in
 the film. Suffice it to say that this is
 one of the madest, merriest comedy films seen in a long while. A very stir ring western drama entitled The Coy ote is deserving especial mention. This auctions and fairly sparkles with pho- togra phic excellence and beauty. The
 remaining feature is the Hearst-Selis Weekly.

In many of the towns, the German intellectuals furnished occupants for all the best posts, while from the ranks of the same people came a. preponderating number of the millionaires Teutonic tradesmen. manufactures and com mercial travellers. have been busied in the development of every corner of the Empire. Before the war, they were to be found in all parts of the land do- ing thriving business.
 "The German colonists were agrf- culturists. They were first brought into Russia by Catherine the Great, in, the hope that they would serve as l teachers of better and more scientific farming to their fellow citizens, and vast grants of land were made to them. One belt of settlement reaches down the Volga valley. from Tver, Kharkof. Many privileges were given to these settlers, and their colonies rapidly grew rich. Their villages were planted with fruit trees; their farms were operated with Germanic thrift and attention to business, and the in use in their old homes were put in- to practice. Their Slav neighbors, in many cases, profited by example and learned much from Teutonic manage ment. The position of the colonist
 however, was better than that of his 1 neighbor. He was never a serf, but a peasant proprietor; and, therefore
 he enjoyed a many years handicap over the Russian peasant lit Is these colonists in Central Russia who. have Ibeen the backbone and the sinew oi

CHINA IS TO ENFORCE
 PAYMENT OF INCOME TAX.
Law Similar to That in Force In the
 United States.

Pekin, Sept. 16.-President Yuan Shi-kai has issued a mandate provid- ing that Chinese merchants, govern ment officials, bankers and profession al men shall pay an income tax begin ming the first of next January.
 The generous response which the public made to the appeals for the pa trfotic defense fund evidently encour- aged the president to enforce the in- come tax law promulgated last year, but not put into effect. His mandate says: "But in view of the fact that of late the patriotism of the people has been increasing daily, an opportune time has come to tnaugurate the sys- tenn"
 Apparently the Chinese Ia wis fash toned after the United States law in many particulars. As yet the mini mum income upon which the tax will elevied has not been announced. Neither has the graduated scale of the tax been made public.
 In explanation of the imposition sof the tax upon only certain classes of persons, President Yuan Shi-kat says it is impossible immediately to make it. general, but that it will be extended as soon as means are devised for de- teruining the income of persons whose records are less clear than those of business and official people. Collection of the tax is entrusted to the finance board of the government and its various branches. In the case ] of the public officials the tax is to be deducted monthly from their salaxiaA

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Betty Nansen in Another Strong VII.
 liam Fox Feature.

The second of the William Fox fea- ture photoplays, which are shown at this house every Friday and Saturday, win be seen here today and tomorrow. This weeks feature is entitled A Wom- Nausen triumph in which this wonder full woman is supported by two eminent co-stars. William J. Kelly and Edward Jose. A triple alliance that combines, with the impressive power of Count Leo Tolstofs drama, to render this photoplay truly magnificent. AS Katu- sha Maslova, first the pure young girl then the fashionable demi-mondaine, next a sordid drab of the prison dock, Miss Nansen's sublime art never att tained more transcendent heights. Will liam J. Kelly lends all his fine dis ttnction and boise to the role of the prince who betrays Katusha; only in the end, by an act of splendid self abnegation, to effect her spiritual res- urrect1on. Edward Jose, in a most un- usual role-Simonson, the princes body serVant-who is faithful even unto the death, gives deeply moving DOT trayal of this sympathetic character. Directed with masterly skill by J. Cor don Edwards, producer of The Cele- bPated Scandal, Anna Karenina, etc. One thousand people in the ensembles. Supporting cast of brilliance. Wonder full scenes in gay Petrograd and across drear Siberian wastes.
 Other photoplays today are Fifty Years Behind, a drama with Syd Ayers, and Lady Baff1es and Detective Duck, an L-KO comedy.

THE LAW OF THE LAND
At Davis Theatre Toniuht.

In his latest dramatic success, The Law of the Land, with Adelaide French in the title role, George Broadhurst, the author of it, has neglected nothing that might contribute to the popularity of his latest thriller. As a promoter of thrills MT. Broadhurst has few equals, and in his new contribution he has outdistanced all of his past per formances. Stirring in the dramatic melting pot are such ingredients as a brutal father, a light comedy secre- tary, a pussyfoot pet butler, an hyster- ieal wife, lover, child, tragedy, a comedy police inspector. and a mystery running throughout the play which does not have it's solution or the slight est inkling of it until the very final curtain fall. An exceptionally strong cast has been engaged to support Miss Gwynne. Frank Stirling, A. T. Hen don. Durwood Primrose, Joseph Mer- rick and the New York production.

THOUSANDS OF GERMANS
 WERE UNDER scEPTER OF TsAR Had Gotten Along Well for Genera tions as CoIonists With Slav Neigh bors,
Especial to The Bulletin.)


 Washington, D. C., Sept. 16.-"Hun- dreds of thousands of Germans were living under the scepter of the Tsar when the world-war broke out, the Teutonic subjects of Russia being greater many times in number than the combined German sojourners of all the other Allied nations" according to a bulletin issued by the National Geo. graphic Society. Until very recent years, the condition of these German colonists in Russia was that of favored citizens. of citizens specially entrusted with the work of developing the Elm pire. With the strong revival of the Great Russian policy, that of the rus sidcation of the whole monster land, however, German schools were sup pressed and other measures were adopted toward making the Teutonic citizens good Slavs.
 "The Tsars German subjects formed a much more important element in Rus sia than is generally considered. From their ranks were recruited the model artisans and peasant proprietors, while they furnished a significant quota to the ranks of Russia's professional men, business men and technical workers. Descendants of the German colonists who were brought into the Empire by Catherine the Great, herself a Ger man princess. were prominent law yeIts, university teachers, scientists, euSlneeISs army IeaQerS, Capta1nS or industry and of commerce, and mem- bers of the Russian bureaucracy and 1 diplomatic corps.
 'sFor generations. these German colonists and their Slav neighbore have gotten along amicably with one another. Their attitude, on both sides has been one of tolerance and good nature. The German language served | as medium of communication every where, whether at Petrograd or Vlad- livestock, at Archangel or Kherson. The colonists mostly persisted in the use of their mother tongue; sent their children to German schools; cell ebrated their religion in Lutheran churches, presided over by the old type German Lutheran pastors, and | kept to the customs which they had brought with them from Saxony, from Bavaria and from Westphalia-
 Russian Germans were divided into 1 four classes. The oolonists, the bus lness classes. the intellectuals. and the nobility. The German nobility the owners of vast estates, were most. The history of their services to tho land of their adoption forms no unin- | portant part in Russian annals. Or the other hand, Russia has been 1av. ish with her favors to her German cit
