Sharp Opposition Has Shown
Up Against The Chancellor

BERLIN, Juy 2O.-The Reichstag
session just closed was marked by in
teresting developments in the relations
between the government and the var
fous political parties. One result was
to bring out more sharply than hither-
to the opposition of the Conservatives
to Chancellor Bethmann Hollweg.
The Conservatives represent the
old aristocratic traditions of Prussia,
and their social and political influence
is so great that they usually succeeded
under previous Chancellors in shaping
the course of the government. They
have ever taken the lead in opposing
all socialist and democratic tendencies
il the state; and before the war one of
their chief lines of policy was war upon
the Socialists as an element dangerous
to the monarchy and the present order
Of society. Since the war has been in
progress, however, the government has
quite changed its attitude toward the
Socialists. The Chancellor has steadily
acted in the spirit of the Emperor's
declaration, made just as the war was
about to begin, that henceforth he
knew no parties, but only Germans.
The loyalty with which the Socialists
have stood by the government and
helped to fight the country's battles
has been more than once recognized by
Bethmann Hollweg in his speeches in
the Reichstag, and he has clearly ad
mitted this fact must lead to some po
litical readjustments after the war is
over. This has never pleased the Con-
servatives. But the Chancellor has
gone on his way making friends of the
Socialists and inviting their support
for government measures. The COnser-
vatives looked on coldly at all this, for
they saw that their best argument for
keeping the government rigidly con-
servative was being wrestled from
their hands.
Besides this. the Conservatives have
taken offense at the governments tax
alton policy. They are fully committed
tc the view that the Empire must COL
lect revenues through indirect taxa
ton, like customs duties, and internal
revenue taxes of various kinds. Espec-
tally do they urgently insist that di-
rect taxes-income, general property,
ard inheritance taxes-should be re-
served for the federal states. The huge
problem, however, of raising revenues
to pay interest on the war debt, to pay
pensions, and meet other expenses
growing out of the war, cannot be
solved without resorting to direct taxa
tion-there are not enough indirect
taxes in reach to meet the require
ments of the situation. Hence along
with the various indirect taxes propos
ed this spring by the government was
direct tax on war profits. In working
out the details of collecting this tax,
however, it was found by the Budget

the body is needed to properly regis
ter emotion through pantomimic ex-
preston.
The lips and teeth are the only por-
tions of the mouth that figure in ex-
pressing wordless conversation on
the screen.
The lips are highly important in ex-
pressing varying sentiments and emo
tions. Diction and enunciation, two
functions of speech in which the lips
play the major part, are frequently
depicted in picture. By watching the
expression of the lips in closeup"
the audience hears words spoken as
plainly as though the syllables actu-
ally assailed the ear. To carry this
message of words to the watcher, the |
lips must accentuate the pronuncia-
ton, yet the action must not seem eX-
aggerated.
The smile, the snarl, the pout-an
are told in the photoplay by the lips. |
And how would you picture surprise |
without the lips? In disdain, the curl
of the lips tells the story. Happiness
is shown by the upward pointing of
the corners of the mouth. Flat, hard |
lips give the notion of Indifference.
All these expressions can be culti-
vated and controlled with practice.
Few people realize what an import
ant part the teeth play in screen talk,
until their attention is called to it.
Ones dental equipment goes long
way toward establishing character
also toward landing a job" in mo-
tion pictures. Strong, regular teeth
are seldom associated with weak, col
orless people. Those playing 'fheavy"
or villain parts often have sets of ex-
ira teeth to put over their own in or
der to get more sinister expression. |
Only recently have the better players
come to understand that the teeth |
can be made as expressive as the |

 IN DENVER AVE. FOUGHT

Of the mGny hearings last night be- fore the common council. that of J. C.. Keeton and others for the establish Inent of a five foot building line in Denver avenue it's entire length brought the most opposition Michael J. Flanagan, clerk of the superior court; Jared Gaylord who owns prop erty at Fairfield and Colorado avenues, and others spoke against it. MT. Gay lord declared that most of the build ings in Denver avenue already extend over the line. MT. Gaylord brought suit and won, against the city for heavy damages when part of his prop erty was taken some time ago to ex- tend Denver avenue to Fairfield ave- nue.
 The meeting, though brief, was an interesting one. Only a few persons interested spoke on the following hear ings; no one opposed:
 M. Holmes, for discontinuance of building line on north side of Putnam street from East Main to Brooks street, a distance of 264 feet.
 George Seltsam and others for the establishment of a building line on Sylvan avenue from TrumbuH road northerIy, eight feet in width.

PRINCE voN BULow

Major General Prince Bernhard Henry Martin Charles won Bulow, for mer German Imperial ChanceIlor and the Kaiser's ab1est diplomat, will be sixty-seven years old tomorrow. On several occasions since the outbreak of the war it has been rumored that Prince von Bulow was destined to suc- ceed von Bethnann Ho1lweg as Chan cellor, The Prince was often in hot water during his reign as Chancellor owing to his diplomatic attempts to restrain the public ntterances of the Kaiser, and it has been supposed that wfe14 they finally reached the parting of the ways the Prince and his i'm perial master were far from being on friendly terms. Since then the breach has been healed, and the Prince has served the Kaiser on many important
 missions. He was sent to Italy early in the war to influence that country to remain neutral. but all his efforts in that direction were futile. Prince von Bulow was born in Ho1stein, and his father was Prussian Minister of State and German Foreign Secretary. The Prince was a lieutenant of the Royal Hussars in the Franco-Prussian war, and entered the diplomatic service in 1873. He served at Rome, Set. Peters burg, Vienna, Athens, Paris and Bucharest, and in 1898 was appointed ambassador to Italy. In 1897 he was appointed Foreign Secretary, and in 1900 became Imperial Chancellor, a, position he held until I 1909. In 1905, when his scheme for a AcoIonial rail- way was defeated by the Socialists and Catholics, he dissolved the Reich stag and declared war on the opposi- ton. and on pr. Dernburgs then colon l,ial minister. He foiled the Socialists by bringing about change in appor- onnent which, although their vote in creased, caused them to lose several parliamentary seats. The 1909 bud get fight led to Prince von Bulow's resignation, although he had long been at odds with the Kaiser

Newark, May 2.-The Carnival Spirit took hold of Newark yesterday-the opening day of a five months ce1ebra ton of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the city. Streets were decorated, shops were decorated, and men and women wore ribbons of or. ange and black, the official colors for ners there enjoined Newarkers to "Snile.''

In the morning there was a military parade, and Broad street, of which Newark well may be proud, was lined with thousands who cheered the khaki-c1ad guardsmen, infantry cavalry, and artillery, who marched past and were rev wed at the City Hall by Mayor Raymond. Boy Scouts paraded too, and there were cheers for them also. Also there was a pres entation to the police traffic squad of silk flag bearing the city's seal, and that meant more cheering while the band struck up.
 It was legal holiday in Newark, and the day was opened with the fir ing of cannon and the ringing of bells and blowing of factory whistles and
