War Without Hate, Appeal
 of Jerome, British Author

Tn the midst of the clamor and bit terness and hatred engendered by such a war as this, the voice and pen of author, from the first have been used to counsel moderation and caImness. What is more, he has not written and impression upon the minds of English seven years ago today May g. 1859 young manhood he was by turns a Journalist. It was in 1889 that he published '"The Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow which attained irnmedi- ate popularity Since then he has been far from idle, and, in addition to having been the editor of two popular publications, he has turned out sone thirty volumes of fiction, hu1nor and kindly philosophy.
 While MT. Jerome confesses that his feelings are far from kindly toward the Emperor and the military leaders of Germany, he insists that it is folly to blame the victims of "a vicious group of souIlesS politicians and war worshipping fanatics Engltshnlen will fight better for love of freedom he insists, Tthan from mere hatred of poor German peasants seized and drilled and cunning1y persuaded they are fighting for their FatherIand.'

ft IS doubtful if local Towers of the silent drama have ever been offered a more absorbing production than that of The Beggar of Cawnpore,'' a Fri angle play in which H. B. Warner is being featured at the Plaza the fore part of the week. The scenes for The Beggar of Cawnpore'' are laid on the Indian desert and in the cities of Delhi and Cawnpore. H. B. War ner, wffose defineatfon of the leading roIa in '.Alias Jimmy Valentine won < him recognition on the speaking stage has the part of Dr. Lowndes of the English army medical staff who while battling fever on the Indian desert became a slave to, morphine. MT. Warner has many wonderful op- portunities in the role and he takes advantage of them all. As a. whole the pictureis a work of art from both. a dramatic and a photographic Standpoint and should prove crowd gatherer at the popular playhouse this week.

POLI'S

It seemed as if everybody in town headed for Polls theatre last even Ing. Two capacity audiences were attracted by the excellent vaudeville bill and Charley Chaplin The latter was a whole show in himself in his funny four-part burlesque on Car men,
 To say that Carmen is "a scream sn't big exaggeration. It was a Continuous laugh from start to finish with the gayety amounting to whoops of joy at times. Charley as Darn Hosiery the Spanish officer, provided plenty of amusement with his unique duelling. his revised |tgoose-step,'' and the thousand other eccentrics that have made him famous.
 Carmen burlesqued. follows the original story well enough to make the situations the funnier.S A very ca pablo company surrounds Chaplin and the production is well worth seeing. The picture also showed that Chaplin showed the popular favorite in a role In which he can make good should his fuh-naking powers ever wane- which doesn't seem likely
 In the vaudeville bill there is plenty Df good entertainment. Lloyd and Britt, the popular favorites of the va rieties, were warmly welcomed in A10AL A16dI eTTdnSSHA0HI OLf SWISS, dances and chatter. They.were right at home from the start and proved a. lbig hit.

| Cleveland, O., May "A number of important matters affecting the ad-
 ministration of the Young Mems | Christian Associations of North Am erica will come before the interna- tionaI triennia1 convention-the Iegis- 1ative body of the brotherhood which will be held in Cleveland be- | ginning May 12, continuing through the 18th. It is said that the meeting will be one of the most significant of
 any of the thirty-nine meetings that have been held. There will be a thou sand guests at the convention, in ad- ditiOn to the two thousand accredited delegates and many hundreds of "cor- responding members" The Assoccia- tions eligible to representation in
 clude 700 city associations, 25O rail-
 rural associations, as well as the Ar my and Navy branches.
 The convention marks it's 5Oth an niversary establishment of the Inter-
 national Committee, and the change in leadership of the committee fro years was it's general secretary, and who is now retiring, to John R. Mott, recently-elected general secretary. One of the questions to be voted up on is a proposal to increase the ele- ment of democracy in the supervision
 
 resolution which has been approved by an overwhelming vote of the direc-
 tors. of the associations in all parts of the United States and Canada it is proposedA4 that the lay delegates will hereafter have a much larger propor- ton of the convention devoted to dis cussions from the floor, with fewer
 adresses from the platform. While the large assembly of the convention will be in Gray's Armory, there will be this year a greater number of smaller sectional meetings with a greatly i'm creased opportunity for discussion and legislation. The hall of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers and various Cleveland churches will be the places of holding these sectional meetings. The Cleveland Association is also dismantling the second floor of its large building to accommodate an exhibit of Y. M. c. A. buildings, equip krnent and efficiency
 ! The importance of the Associations work with the armies in Europe will
 have special attention. Hundreds of trained secretaries who have been
 sent over from the United States and Canada, and who have been at work in
 the trenches as we'll as with the pris-
 oners on both sides of the lines will
 report on this phase of Y. M. e. A.
 work.

K. OF c. CONCERT.

Lent over, the joys of dancing have again taken possession of those, to whom tripping the gay fantastic is su- preme pleasure. The heavy advance sale of tickets for the concert and dance under ~ the auspices of the Knights of Columbus at the Casino, next Wednesday night, clearly indi- cates that many devotees to this form of entertainment are anxious to take advantage of the opportunity to spice their favorite "indoor sport with pleasures equally enjoyable.
 In this instance. the attraction is ''The Peerless Quartet" who, through their connection with the Grapho- phone Go. enjoy reputation shared by few, If any, similar groups of song sters.
 Chris Chapman, with his clever up to-the-minute satires and caricatures, will also be present. His job is to send everybody home with a won't come-off smile. and if he fails here, it will be his first offense.

supplies are furnished. Boxes, paper,

cash advance is made sufficient to take
care of the harvesting expenses. In
the case Of peaches, 10 cents per box;
apples and pears, 25 cents per box
and so on. AS soon as the crop has
been sold and sufficient funds receiv-

LOCAL MINING MEN EXPECT
Big RESULTS THIS YEAR
Officers and Stockholders of Caywash
Company are More than
Enthusiastic

Altho there are now "steen" feet of
snow up in the mountains of the Ok
anogan country, local officers and the
stockholders of the Caywash Mining
company are indulging in not little
enthusiasm over the company's pros
poets for this year.
There has never been any doubt in
the minds in the Kennewick men who
control the company but that they
have one Of the richest copper-bearing
properties in the Northwest. Numer-
Gus assays Of the ore and opinions of
mining experts who have inspected
the claims have fully justified this be-
lief, and the only handicap under
which the local company has labored
has been the lack of transportation.
This handicap, it seems, is soon to be
removed as there is every reason to
believe that a railroad is to be built
into the district next spring. The sur
vey for the new road runs within
few miles Of the Caywash claims and

PETTY THIEVERY
AT HIGH SCHOOL
Articles of Wearing Apparel
Continue to Disappear from
s. Girls Cloak Room

The mysterious disappearance of
small articles of wearing apparel from
the girls cloak room from time to
time during the last few weeks, has
convinced Supt. M. S. Lewis and men,
bers of the high school faculty that
petty thievery is being practiced by
some one Of the pupils. Since the first
loss was reported Supt. Lewis and fac
ulty have been quietly endeavoring to
discover the culprit but as yet they
have found absolutely nothing that
casts the least suspicion upon anyone
connected with the school.
"A small sum of money, a muff,
gloves and fur boa are among the
missing articles. The money and muff
disappeared at the same time. The
pocketbook in which the money was
carried was found in the girls rest
room. The boa was left in the cloak
room at 2:45 and at $3.50 it was no.
where to be found.
ut is with deep regret that I report
this" said Supt. Lewis. cit is the first
time in eight years that anything Of
this kind has happened and / am re-
porting it only in the hope if the
thievery is the work of some pupil the
parents may be able to assist US and
stop the affair before it becomes more
serious"
