SENSATIONAL IS
VICTORIA BILL
Emotional Nature of the
Weeks Pictures Is Predomi-
mating Characteristic

The management of the Victoria
Theater has prepared a series of
photodramatic productions for the
coming week that hold in store
bunch Of thrills for the lovers of the
emotional and sensational on the mo-
ton picture screen. Starting with
Francis X. Bushman in Man and His
Soul" and finishing up with Harry
Watson, and two special features on
Saturday, with 1.-The objectionable
Sin" "The Strange Case of Mary
Page" Supreme Temptation" The
Iron Claw" and others sandwiched in
between, not much can be offered by
way of complaint.
Bushman and Bayne
Francis Bushman and Beverly Bayne
are so we'll known that it is scarcely
necessary to speak of them. Their
very presence Vouches for them, but
it might be well to add that their ve-
hicle on this first day of the week is
a five-act "wonderplay" called Man
and His Soul" the allegorical nature
of which gives these two splendidly
dramatic players an opportunity to
display that skill. John Conscience is
born and it is foreordained that he is
TO be a creature of conscience. Stephen
Might and John Power appear, and
with a vein of romance running
through it all, the picture comes TO
a powerful climax.
Holbrook Blinn is the attraction on
Tuesday in the dramatic story Of a
wealthy mans fall through "The IN
pardonable Sim" 1t is said to be
startlingly realistic and is just the sort
of story to which Holbrook Blinn, who
has by some been termed "the most
versatile actor of the day." is best
suited.
Wednesday The Victory of Virtue"
featuring Gerda Holmes and Wilmuth
Merkyl, and Henry Walthall and Edna
Mayo in "The Strange Case of Mary
Page" share the boards together. 1t
is hard to say which will prove the
more popular, although the past favor
which has been accorded the success
sive episode of the Mary Page fea-
next Wednesday will have to hump
itself to gain the supremacy.
Latter Half of Week
AnQ Stlll Iney come! supreme
Temptation" and 1.-THE Slave of Cor
ruption," the latter featuring Jackie
Saunders, will entertain Victoria pat
rons on Thursday. The former is a
Vitagraph picture and includes in its
cast Antonio Moreno and Dorothy
Kelly. Friday Pearl White will ap-
pear in the sensational success "The
Iron Claw" the very title of which
is sufficient to send the anticipatory
shivers down ones spinal column. And
last, but not least, the triple attraction
on Saturday will be a five-part society
drama with love, hate, and all the 9TH
er virtues and vices called "Passers-
by': Harry Watson in a mirth-pro-
ducing comedy: and "The Human
Cauldron," a Vitagraph feature sup
ported by a strong cast.
Mae Murray, one OF the stars of the
Lasky Company, attempted to steer her
automobile out of her garage in Hol-
lywood Cal, the other day, and sue
ceeded in smashing a fender, a few
lamps and the runningboard. James
Young, who is directing Miss Murray's
second Lasky photoplay, "Sweet Kitty
Bellairs." has requested that she take
her outings hereafter in a wheelbarrow
until the photoplay is finished.

Some of the strong points scored

Margaret Haley: Our fight is just
beginning. We will carry it to legis-

faction of the school board on the
teachers proved a tonic to us. Jake
Loeb is the best organizer the Chica-
go Teachers Federation ever had.
Between 1900 and 1902 we made a
fight on the taxdodging corporations
of Chicago that forced them to pay
100000 annually to the city of Chi

legislature and demand laws that
will protect the teachers from the
scheming of spoils politicians. An

ENGLISHMAN SCOUTS
TRADE WAR ON KAISER
Economic Laws Would Make
After-War Boycott Boomerang,
Diplomat Admits

WASHINGTON. Oct 25.-The great
"war after the war" may never come to
pass.
A British diplomat In Washington today
declared his belief that the proposed allied
trade campaign against the General Powers
outlined at the Paris economic conference
cannot be carried out successfully. This
is the first time any one actively Identified
with the British Government has made
such an admission.
Lord Bryce for some time British Am
bassador to the United States, In a recent
speech, came out very strongly against
such trade war as that outlined at the
Paris conference, and economic writer's OF
England and the United States have called
Il impracticable of application.
The program for boycottlng the Central
Powers, the British official said today, can
not be successfully carried out on account
of the economic laws of supply and demand.
transportation inequalities, cost of produc-
other determinates which directed trade
channels before the war. Should serious
effort be made TO carry out the scheme. II
would operate TO the economic disadvantage
Of the Allies as we'll as that Of the Central
Powers. This opinion was expressed when
the question Of the possible effort of such
a trade war upon the United States was
put to the official.
At the time of the Paris conference, Ger
man officials believed the program was
outlined at least partly as a threat against
the Central Powers when peace terms were
discussed The possibility OF its applica-
tion was at best problematlcal.

Ing for the day when peace will compel n
readjustment OF She empires whole economic
structure. Already the Government, recog-
mixing the problems that must be met, has
appointed special commission. whose task
VIII be TO smooth the transition from war

win be; (a) How TO find employment for
the millions Of German soldiers released
from military service (b) how 10 provide
raw material for German industries, and (c)
how to'put abundant credit at the disposal
OF the middle classes.
Even the most optimistic financial au-
thorities we're surprised at the prodigious
demand for the NTH German war loan.
Total subscriptions aggregated 10,7b0, ,O00,-
900 marks. Statistics of individual sub
figures; s,500.000 persons participated In
the offering. In contrast TO the English
method, the German banks never subscribe
for war loans.
The life OF the coal syndicate. which was
nearing expiration. has been renewed until
1922. II now controls virtually the whole
coal industry In the empire, including the
governmental mines. Prussia has purchased
one OF tho largest coal properties In Ger
many, and Is now the strongest member of
tho syndicate. The whole transaction Is
typical OF the Governments liking for In
dustrial combinations.
As a consequence OF the better fodder
crop, live stock supplies are rapidly grow

short of the 21.750,000 pigs owned In Sep
