of the 18th Cavalry at the advanced
base by automobile. The officer who
carried word back to Maj. Tompiins
asked the automobile mechanic one
question.
Have you extra tires?'
Yes" was the answer.
Not another word did the officer
speak. But he threw the car into high
speed over rocks, bitches and hills UNI

were to close another of the passes
against Villas escape. The men who
had been without rations except such
as they could pick UP in the country
for four days, were favored by the ar
rival of an automobile supply train,
which pulled in just before they left.
These cavalrymen were ordered to
leave their swords behind, and were
told that no matter how much else they
might accomplish, it would be of little
avail until they caught Villa himself.

Wife SLAYER Tries Suicide

Perry Chase, colored, who fat
ally shot his wife in Wilmington
on January 10, she dying at the
Delaware Hospital on January 20,
was caught by Detective Kim of
Wilmington in Chester, Pa, last
Monday. He was found covered
up, fully dressed, in bed at the
home of Elias Walker at LOT
Thompson street, where he had
been hiding. He was brought to
Wilmington but became very i'll
on Tuesday. He told the officers
he had swallowed poison tablets
Just before his arrest. He was
sent to the Workhouse Hospital
for treatment. The Coroner's jury
charged him with murder.

they are responsible. At the close
of 1909 there were approximately
100000 registered automobiles in
the country, with 632 deaths from
them that year. For 1914 the reg
istration was approximately 1,75O,
600 automobiles, with 1928 deaths
charged to them. In other words,
during the five-year period, 1909
1914, the increase in automobiles
was IT'S per cent, while the fatal
tiles increased for the same period
315 per cent. The concluson reach

Little Bobby is the marvel of
the Vitagraph Company because
of his phenomenal self-possession
and extraordinary memory. Even
the oldest and most experienced
members of the Vitagraph Com
pany are often disconnected by
the presence of people during the
taking of a scene, but this is never
so with little Bobby. Huge crowds
may surround him and their
noise may be deafening, as is
often the case when street scenes
are taken, but they never annoy
the youngest moving picture ac-
tor the least bit. He has never
become ratified and he never gets
nervous. His nerve is as steady
as a rock, which probably &C
counts for his brilliant memory.
During the rehearsal of a scene,
everything is carefully explained
to him and when the scene is be,
ing taken, he does every solitary
thing just as it has been re
hearsed. He never needs prompt
ing, while some of the best-knowr
Vitagraphers would never thinl
of attempting scene withou
their stage director being ready t.
prompt them. Little Bobby il
world-famous at the age of fv'
solely because of his exceptiona
work and he is the most popula
member of the Vitagraph Players

Youngest Star In
Vitagraph World

Robert Joseph Connolly, ap-
pearing in Sunny Jim and the
Amusement Co., on Saturday, Feb.
5th, the youngest Vitagraph Play
er, was born in Brooklyn, N. Y,
April A, 1909, being but five years
old on his last birthday. His
father is Joseph Connolly, born in
Wilkesbarre, Pa, of Irish and
French parents. His mother was
Frances Olliffe, born in New
York City, of English parents.
Little Bobby's first professional
work was with the Kalem Motion
Company at the age of three. He
played in five pictures and in July
1918, he joined the Vitagraph
Company. His first picture was
in the support of Maurice Costel-
10 in Caught Courting," and his
next picture, "Love's Sunset
was such a personal triumph that
he was Immediately raised tc
stardom and a series of pictures
were ordered written especially
for him. They are known as the

been many pictures in which HI

which he has been supported BY

one remembers the year 1890, and
recalls the failue of the Barings,
and the seeming hopelessness of
the South-American situation, one
tends to be inspired with a certain
hope that Europe may also find it's
way out of the bad dreams, of the
delerious wars, and absurdities in
which at the moment it lives, into
the new light of reason, of liberty
and of wisdom. We can not pre-
dict this result, but the South
American republics that in 1890
we pitied and despised for their
unreasonableness and for their
evil passions-they give us a right
to some hope for Europe"

PEOPLE TALK
OF END OF WAR
Editorial Writer Believes This
Hopeful Sign

A sign that seems to an editorial
writer of the New York Evening
Post to show that the end Of the
war is in sight, says the Literary
Digest, is "the growing frequency
with which people are beginning
to speak of the aftermath of the
war" No longer are they discuss
ing who started the war, but what
the world will be like after it.
Prof. Josiah Royce, of Harvard,
thinks that we may look forward
with strong assurance to two re-
suits in which all philosophers will
be interested. "The tragedies of
this war will arouse a new inter-
national conscience, new sense
that nation has duty as much as
a man." However the present war
ends, he declares, it will "teach the
nations, and, the ancient ethical
idea of duty, and to get a new in
sight into what the meaning of the
idea of duty is" The words of
Professor Royce, published in the
New York Times, were uttered at
a gathering of teachers of philos-
ophy at Harvard in honor of Prof.
Maurice de Wulf, of the Univer-
sity of Louvain. He said further
For some reason until recently
the nations have not been guided,
in their dealings with one another,
by the idea of duty. Sometimes
the nations have been fond of each
other. Sometimes they have quar-
relied. But to do their duty as ma
tions to one another, and to hu-

Notable among the strange crea-

what arc known as Staff Officers. For
fear of the charge that ] speak as n
critical alien. let me hasten to state
that | have been carefully instructed
in their strangeness by various mem
bers of the British army.
Staff Officers wear crimson on their
caps and lapels, and quite a lot of
gold stars and bands and things on
their shoulders and sleeves.
Having observed these glittering be-
fngs in various hotels. ! asked friend
back on leave who was attired in the
simple khaki and Sam Browne belt of

the helmet nor sword is worn by Brit

50 to the Picadilly hotel for tea. It is
also tho appropriate place to take a
chorus girl after the theater for sup
per. The Savoy is very fast, very
magnificent and proper young ladies'
are not supposed to be seen there. The
Cecil has a reputation for harboring
many delightful ladies, and is just
barely passable. The Strand Palace is
out Of the question. The proper place
for afternoon ten is the Carlton. The
Ritz is considered to be the finest
hotel in town. SCOTS is still quite
all right, and one of the best restau-
rants in London. Prices grill Is also
quite all right. but very dull. Cla-
ridges is known as the place where
super snobs of the aristocracy gather
in the fond belief that they are being
exclusive. People who enjoy seeing
and meeting interesting people do not
generally go there.

active cooperation with men.
Women have always ranked with
men, says Ida Tarbell, lin actual ca
pacity and achievement and 1t Is GER
tain that in these two cruciol instances
they rose spiritually TO the level of
their husbands. They sought no i'm
munity from suffering, they made no
ignoble plea for peace. They posed
neither as innocent victims OF mans
combativeness. nor as moral censors of
his supreme self sacrifice. The notion
that war is wrong because it involves
the anguish of women would have been
as repellent to their souls as the mo-
ton that war can be averted by the
wisdom of women would have been re-
pellent TO their UNDERSTANDINGS. They
deemed it their right to know what is
sues were at stake. and their privileges
to give undenyingly TO their country's
cause. Courage was their inheritance
from their pioneer ancestors, and pain
was proudly borne, because 1t was the
price of freedom and national life.
There Is something very inspiring in
the contemplation of these stout heart
ed, clear minded women who SO family
resemble the chimney corner great
grand mothers of our fancy.-AKneo

MASKING" In London, the spec taclc of
the Strand at any hour after noon
would bring a blush TO thu cheek of a
Prussian colonel. At night, in the
pitch dark, one can hardly squeeze
through the swarms. 1t is said they
are worse than ever-a result of war
which even the most far-seeing prime
ministers do not seem to prevent.
II the Bishop of London could figure
out some method of alleviating the
poverty which drives these swarms of
pitiful young women into the Lon
don streets. instead of closing up the
promenades of the Empire and Al

that his pay of twelve thousand
pounds a year (s60.oo0). is not enough
for him TO live on, he might do some
