Its already prepared. no mixing or fussing. Just ask your druggist for a bottle of Dr. Kings New Discovery. Tested and tried for over 40 years.

"Carmen," scenario in five parts from the novel of Prosper Merimee, by William c. DeMille. Jesse L.. Lasky film. Cast:
 Carmen. ............G Geraldine Farrar Don Jose. se..............W Wallace Reid Pastia Horace B. Carpenter Escamillo. o..... Pedro de Cordoba Morales. s..............W William Elmer
 The Strand Theatre, wherein the film version of Carmen" made by the Lasky Company, with Geraldine Far Tar in the title role, is being shown this week, was the centre of a verit- able mob all day yesterday. There was special performance in the morning for the Wage-E Banners League, but at noon, when the doors were thrown open to the general pub lie, already a vast crowd had gath cred outside the theatre, and when the film went on for the first time every seat was filled.
 Interest in the famous prima don mas debut as screen player seemed to have permeated all ranks of so- ciety, judging by the audiences which attended yesterday. Fashionably dressed women whose names figure in the society columns took whatever seats offered themselves-there are not reserve places in the Strand-and as often as not their luck led them to chairs beside some huge workingman or his best beloved.
 As screen actress the beautiful Geraldine leaves little to be desired. There IS none of the stiffness and constraint which the player fresh from the stage often brings to the screes. Mary Pickford herself could not be more at home before the cam era.

Americans and the Peace Chance.

Americans who have NO holdings in the
war munitions concerns are likely to
feel chagrined over the spectacle of
sudden and sharp drop in the stock mar
ket upon the announcement that Ger
many had proposed peace. Ordinarily
the suggestion of peace possibility
would send the market upward, for peace
usually means prosperity. The fact,
however, cannot be ignored that the
war in Europe has brought great pros
perity to this country in spots, and any
indication of peace means to many the
possibility of q failure Of heavy profits.
This is not a pleasant contemplation.
The American people as whole deplore
this war as something horrible and un-
necessary. Regardless of partisan feel
ings-and despite the official declara-
tion Of neutrality most Americans have
a decided preference in sympathy for
one side or the other-they pray for the
cessation Of the hostilities. When peace
is finally proclaimed as result Of ne
gotiations or even Of absolute conquest
there will be great rejoicing here, a
manifestation of national joy that the
world terror has come to an end.
Nevertheless, there remains the small
interest that is directly affected by the
possibility that the fighting may soon
be at an end, that there will be no more
war orders, that the big mills that have
been working overtime for two years
filing requisitions from Europe will
close some of their shops and lay off
many Of their men and scrap some of
their machinery. 1t is impossible to
blink the fact that the war has poured
enormous sums of money into some
American pockets, and that peace will
check this stream Of wealth. Hence yes
terday's spasmodic contraction in Wall
street when the word came that Germany
had actually proposed peace plan.

would be Of the highest educational
value to the people, tens Of thousands
Of whom visit Washington annually.
In the short time between now and
March not much can be done toward the
development of the exhibit idea, in
comparison with the projected e1posi-
ton Of states. But a good showing can
be made, demonstrativs at least Of
Washington. That such an exhibit is
under preparation should be widely ad-
vertised 50 that those who plan to at

fact in season to arrange their sched-

Possible Mediation.

Germany's peace proposal, whatever
its terms, has at least the merit of af.
fording the basis Of discussion between
the contending powers. Until now
there has been nothing to discuss. Vari-
Gus "peace balloons" have been sent up
on both sides of the fighting line, but
never in circumstances to justify seri-
GUS consideration, as they were unofi-
cial and unauthentic. Now in the most
formal manner peace plan is broached,
not merely in general terms. but spe-
cifcally and addressed through the neu-
tral powers in such way as to bring
into the discussion all the non-belliger-
ent governments of Europe and the
United States as we'll.
1t is already suggested that by this
manner of the broaching of peace terms
Germany has virtually invited media
tion by one or several of the neutral
powers. Until one side or the other in
dicated willingness to consider peace
no neutral state could with any degree
Of propriety offer good Offices. Now, in
the Transmission Of the German note,
handed yesterday to the ENJOYS at Ber-
lin, each of the neutral powers may feel
at liberty to add a word of suggestion
that the way is open for negotiations,
rendering its own services as a pos
sible medium Of Communication and ad-
justment.
No single power is likely to stand as
the mediator in this tremendous adjust
ment. The peace psrley, when it is
finally arranged, will doubtless include
representatives, not only of all the bel
ligerent countries, but of the leading
neutrals. 1t will, perhaps, be such a
group of international statesmen as was
never before assembled. It will be con
fronted with the gravest problem ever
put before body of men. Unless one
side or the other is whipped to abso-
lutte subjection, Incapable of offering
further resistance, the parley will be
prolonged over an extended period
The rendering of good Offices may not
at this time advance the situation toward
the opening of actual peace negotiations.
Pressure cannot be brought to bear upon
any Of the entente governments to
cause them to consider the German
terms with view to the actual opening
of peace discussions. The advantage Of
this form of address lies chiefly in the
fact that it gives the neutral govern
ments the first opening they have had
to indicate their hope that a way to
peace may be cleared through the con-
sideration of these terms as the basis Of
possible discussions.
That it is the German hope that one
or another Of the neutrals may tender
good Offices for mediation is indicated in
the dispatches.

national politics. I'm the White House
he would know how to conserve his
strength and let others worry. His
seventy years would not tell on him in
that particular.
Mr.. Bryan, whose name also 10 under
discussion again for the presidency, is
proposing in the matter of amending
the Constitution majority instead Of the
three-fourths rule. Why should he not
also propose majority instead Of the
two thirds rule in the nomination Of a
democratic candidate for Presidentf
Now, three years and half in advance
of the next national convention, would
be good time to begin discussion of
the subject.
Had majority rule prevailed at Bal
timore four years ago Mr.. Clark would
have been the nominee instead Of Mr..
Wilson. He not only polled a majority
of the convention, but held it for sew
eral ballots. In fairness, he was clearly
entitled to the number necessary to
make up the requisite two-thirds.
But snarl arose, fomented somewhat
by Mr.. Bryan, who had switched from
Clark to Wilson, and the result was \
check of the drift to Clark and the
of Wilson.
Amending the Constitution is a very
much more important matter than nomi-
mating a candidate for President. Why,
therefore, should not Mr.. Bryan, who
would have the Constitution amendable
by majority vote, give his support to a
change in his party's convention proce-
dure by which a majority vote there
would designate the man to carry the
standard in a presidential campaigni
