London. Nov. 3.-Public interest is
divided between Premier Asquith's
speech in the house of commons and
Roumania's reported intention to
throw her lot with tn eentente allies.
News coming by way of Paris lends
support to the growing impression
that Roumania is preparing to inter
vene in the war
In his address before the house of
commons Premier Asquith stated that
Field Marshal Sir John French, COM
mander of the British forces on the
Franco-Belgian front, is now in COM
mand of nearly 100000 men.
Mr.. Asquith said the total casual
ties in France and Flanders amounted
to 377 900 He asserted the Germans
have not made a net gain OF foot OF
ground since April
The premier accepted his full share
of responsibility for the first attack
on the Dardanelles, which resulted
in failure with the loss of several
capital ships. He said this attack
was made after full investigation and
consultation with naval experts and
that IL was sanctioned by the govern
ment. Notwithstanding some doubts
in the minds of the governments prin-
cipal naval advisers.
Roumania is Mobilizing.
BY royal decree new classes of Rou-
manian recruits are being modified.
Vienna reports that IA grave situa-
ton" may arise in connection with
the proposed use of the lower Dan
ube to transport Russian troops to
Bulgaria Little news comes direct
from Bucharest, as the censorship is
enforced so strictly that even or.
dinary messages are stopped, but 1t
is known the agitation in favor of war
is spreading through the army.
The Austrian. German and Bulga-
rian armies are drawing the net more
closely about Nish. In the south the
French assert they have inflicted con-
siderable losses on the Bulgarians,
who are reported to have been thrown
back on the right bank of the Vardar.
The only political development OF
note in the Balkans is a change of
tone in tie ministerial press of Ath.
ems, which is publishing apparently
inspired articles of nature friendly
to the entente allies, although still in.
sisting Greece must maintain her
policy of benevolent neutrality.
Along the Eastern front there Is
evidence of a considerable extension
of the Russian offensive. This is in
dicated by official reports from both
sides, although neither claims any
important results from these opera
tions.

sent out a call to every bowler In New
England to respond to the associations
efforts to standardize the various forms
Of bowling
Make the games OF tcnpins. duck
pins. and candlepins uniform wherever
they are rolled Is the slogan of the
A. c. B. A, and no stone will be left
unturned to bring this condition about.
Each city is to take no its own bur-
dens on straighteiui:E out the games
which have come to be rolled under so
many varying conditions, and one by
| one the sports affiliated with bowling
are to be made uniform. just as base

No pastime can thrive or ever bloom
| to its full height unless 1t is run under

Washington. Boston, Philadelphia, New
| York, and the smaller Eastern cities,
! there Is no uniformity in rolling para

| another with any certainty that the
same rolling conditions will be en-
| Countered. This stunts the natural
growth which all sports should receive
through intercity competition, and this
Is one Of the obstacles which are to be

Acting Ability Now
Essential to
Success on
Screen

Among the changes that are COM
ing over the motion picture business
Is the demand for experienced people
that Is coming from every big produce
ing company. When the motion pic
ture first became popular the demand
for film was so great that manufac-
turers undertook to produce II with
anyone and everyone who could look
the part they were called upon to
fill. Experience had nothing to do
with it-could have nothing to do
with 1t. A number OF mediocre ac-
tors and actresses sprang into prom
inence on the screen because it SO
happened that they were the only
people who were able to show even
a small knowledge of the acting
art. In most cases their knowledge
was not sufficient to give them
places with stock companies. even
of the fourth or fifth late.
Some of the big screen stars We're
created from some of these people
that Is, people Of no experience or
people of but limited experience for
whom the stage seemed to have no
future whatsoever. With the devel-
opment of the photoplay to the big
institution it has now become and
the education Of the public taste
by the presentation of really artistic
pictures, We'll acted and produced.
medioCrity has ceased to nay diVi-
dends. The producers have found
that it does not pay TO keep reopic
on their staffs who simply look the
part They must also show some
That is one Of the reasons for the
