PARIS VIEW OF PROPOSALS.

Paris, Dec. 13.-The Petit Jurnal says; "The treacherous German move aims at something else than genuine peace. It seeks an interna- hOnal and external effect in Ger many that is intended to convince the people that the German govern ment is not responsible for the sac- rifceS imposed and that its adver- saries alone are responsible for the continuance of the struggle abroad. It desires to persuade the neutrals that the allies are pursuing a policy of ambition. That is the explana- ton of the pretended moderation in the tone of the speech given by the Imperial Chancellor.

Tn all the thousands of motion pie lures which have been given to the public, never has a star been gOwned with the sort of frocks hats, shoes and lingerie that Miss Billie Burke is to Weear in "GlOria's Romance" the new motion picture novel from the pen of Mr. and Mrs. Rupert Hughes, which has been booked to appear at the Fox theater The first and second chapters will be shown tomorrow and Thursday, and the succeeding chap ters on the same days of each week.
 In stageland Miss Burke is famous for the wonderful gowns that have graccd her person, each season seem- ing to have found her with a more gorgeous array than the preceding one, but during the course of the new animated novel she is going to wear costumes especially designed for her Dv Henri Bendel, Lucille and BalcOm, that will outsi1ine any gowns in which she has been seen in the past. Dra matic critics in mentioning Miss Burke on the speaking stage have worn threadbare such adjectives as "adorable," "exquisite" and "1ovely", and all of them have fallen far short of describing this fascinating little star.
 In "Gloria's Romance", in which Miss Burke portrays the role of a wealthy society girl, a $15,O00 Rus sian sable coat will be seen, together with a s12,OOO ermine coat, a S9,000 chinchilla coat, a blue and gold and metal embroidered evening coat, trimmed with silver fox fur, valued at $25O0, and a dinner gown trimmed with lace that was priced at $150 per yard. Feminine picture goers will find the picture a regular fashion bazaar and undoubtedly will follow it with in terest.
