Coliseum

A show in three scenes is the lat est at the Coliseum. The first scene opens in Ffnigan's alley and shows Billy House as poor bod carrier Suddenly good fortune overtakes him when oil is struck on his land out west. Finnigan moves to New York and the whole family goes into so- eietv Some of the experiences that Finnigan goes through while with the social set are side splitting.

C. H. Gates, of the chronological bureau, spoke a few moments on matters of interest to the farmers in his department. Clark Churchill also attended from here.

The Womans Law at the Columbia

When one has to write of pictures at so much the picture and say some thing good or evade something bad the stock of~usable adjectives and eX- pletives soon run to an end no mat ter how big the vocabulary. Down at the Columbia they screened for the first local appearance yesterday Mar vanne Thompsons American Maga- zine novel. The Woman's Law" To those who read the book there is but little use to laud the picture. There Is also little use to try and make cold type tell of this unusual story of a woman's love for her baby Her sub stituting the man for her husband and playing the part to it's clever end despite the tension that continually arises to bring about her head a storm is simply wonderful.

WEIRD STATEMENTS
 FINALLY EXPOSED
MISREPRESENTATION OF FACTS SHOWN IN AMERICAN
 TEXT BOOKS.

WASHINGTON, March 27.--Offi cial document number 290, office ot the Chief of Staff, War Depart ment, discloses the following facts of history, relative to the War for Independence and the War of 1872 which are seldom if ever permit ted to appear in American school histories:
 Total American troops furnished the Revolutionary War, 396,000 British never had at any time more than 42,00O.
 Only two military events of the war had a direct bearing on the expulsion of the British. One was the capture of Burgoyne and the other the capture of Cornwallis and the latter event was brought about entirely through the assist ance of the French.
 The bulk of American troops was obtained by the payment of bounties. Very few of the Ameri- can troops were anything but un- reliable. insubordinate and frequent ly mutinous.
 Washington had twice as many troops as the British in 1775, but did not dare attack because of the unreliable character of the Ameri- can troops.
 The British would never have been able to take Philadelphia if the various States had furnished troops demanded by Washington.
 Total American forces employed in the War of 1912, 527,0O0. Brit ish only 67,000.
 America won no land victories that had any bearing on the re- suit. The much-lauded sea victor ies had very little to do with stop ping the war.
 American generals were frequent ly compelled to place armed guards over the militia to keep them from bolting at the first shot fired by the enemy.
 The defenders of the American capital, Washington City, although outnumbering greatly the attacking force, fled so rapidly that the Brit ish were able to kill but eight and wound but eleven.
 The overrated battle of New Orleans, which occurred after the treaty of peace had been signed. was won by a superior force in an impregnable position, when it was attacked by British force that should have known better than to assail such position. At that. after victory was won, a large portion of the American defenders fled from the fieldin panic instead of pursuing the defeated enemy.
