Of that golden voiced singer" al
H. Wilson who with his clever company
will appear at the "Creseo'' on We'd
nesday, March 22nd, it may be said
with the certainty of its affirmation by
theatregoers in general that he is one
of the most realistic comedians on the
stage today and his talents are afforded
full scope in his new periodic comedy
song-play Gas Years Roll On"
The enacting of a character named
John Van Fam that calls for a wide
range of emotions, since. the story en-
braces the career of man from youth
to old age, with mingling of comedy
and pathos that is treated in most novel
manner. Many claim that much OF
this pleasing actors popularity is due
to the fact that he can make people
laugh with the employment of comedy
so clean in its nature that it leaves a
lasting impression. Be this as it may,
there is no denying the fact that a
Wilson performance can relieve the
worst case of dependency quicker
than any known remedy.
In addition to his new play there are
a number of new and melodious song
gems that prove a great feature. Their
very titles suggest a class of music
that compares in merit with any songs
presented by this great
singer. Yesterday" Gas Years Roll
On" Mother Mine, ''She Left Me
for Teddy Bear" and rag Time in
Germany"

U. 8. WAREHOUSE ACT

The central purpose of the United
States warehouse act, which became
law on August IL, 1916, is to es-
tablish form of warehouse receipt
for cotton, grain, wool, tobacco, and
flaxseed which will make these re-
ceipts easily and widely negotiable as
delivery orders or as collateral for
loans and, therefore, of definite as
sistance in financing crops.

Uncle SANS ARMAMENT PLAN IS LARGE
lNo1GH TO REASSURE MOST TIMID CITIZENS

the great governments of the
world to send representatives
to conference which shall be
charged with the duty of form
ulating a plan for a court of
arbitration or other tribunal,
to which disputed questions
between nations shall be re-
ferred for adjudication and
peaceful settlement, and to
consider the question of dis
armament and submit their
recommendations to their re-
spective governments for ap-
proval. The President is here
by authorized to appoint nine
citizens of the United States,
who, in his judgment, shall be
qualified for such duty to be
the representatives of the Uni
ted States in such a confer
ence. The President shall fix
the compensation of said rep
resentatives and such secre-
taries and other employees as
may be needed. Two hun
dred thousand dollars, or so
much thereof as may be nee
essary, is hereby appropriated
and set aside and placed at
the disposal of the President
to carry into effect the provi-
slons OF this paragraph.
IF at any time before the
construction authorized by this
Act shall have been contracted
for there shall have been es-
tablished, with the coopera-
ton of the United States of
America, IA international trib-
unal or tribunals competent to
secure peaceful determinations
of all international disputes,
and which shall render unnec-
essary the maintenance of
competitive ornaments, then
and in that case such naval ex-
penditures as may be incon-
sistent with the engagements
made in the establishment of
such tribunal or tribunals may
be suspended, when so ordered
by the President of the United
States"
Cannot Be Misunderstood
This appeal is easily under
stood. The United States, the
richest and most powerful of
the nations, says to the coun-
tries which have been dragged
to the brink of bankruptcy by
the militarists:
eve have the money and
ne resources to enable us to
construct the most powerful
fighting machines ever devised
by the mind of man. But we
do not seek supremacy. We
want peace. If you will dis
arm, we will dismantle our
ships. If you insist on arming
we will take steps to safeguard
our interests"
If such an appeal is made by
Woodrow Wilson at the con-
clusion of the European war
who can believe it will fall on
deaf ears?
