THE TRICOLOR
 OF FRANCE

The tricolor flag, the "Old Glory of the French republic, beneath which her brave sons are now fighting so valorously, dates from 1789, although the color combination of red, white and blue was the royal standard of France long before that. St. Martin, whose festival is celebrated today, is perpetuated by one of the hues of the French banner. Infthe early days of France the royal standard was wholly red, and very much like the flag Of the socialists and anarchists of today. The combination of red and blue was adopted in honor of St. Denis and St.
 Martin, two of the patron saints of France. The oriflamme of St. Denis was the original red flag of French monarchs, and the blue was added be- cause St. Martin was always depicted as clad in mantle of that color. It was early in the fifteenth century that the first French tricolor of red, white and blue came into use. The red and blue banner was scarcely distinguish ed from the flag of England, so Charles VI, the Va1ois monarch who was surnamed '"The Beloved" added white to the color scheme of the ban

PLAZA.

Saint. Devil and Woman is the title of the wonderful dramatic screen play to be presented at the Plaza to- morrow night with Florence La Badie as the star.

Other film subects including both comedy and dramatic will be shown in conunction with the above mentioned feature.

Germans Seize Ghent
 Workmen and Compel
 Them to Make Arms

The Hague. Netherlands. Nov. H. About 2,000 unemployed in the Bel- gian city of Ghent have been deport- ed to Germany for work in munition factories, according to news from the frontier. A compulsory registration of unemployed took place a few days since, and the present labor coJnpul- .sion is the sequel thereto. Former employees of various engineering works at Ghent who gave no heed to the call. were seized in their beds at night by German soldiers and thrown into prison, it is alleged.
 Other instances of the imposition of forced labor have recently oc- cured also at Bruges, Eek1oo. near Ghent, and other places. All signs in- dicate that Germany is determined, so far as possible, to utilize the con siderable available supply of Belgian labor to make good the ever-increas- ing military drain on it's own man power.

The last performance of that spleh- did, human dramatic masterpiece. 'The Writing On the Wall,' will be given tonight by the Lyric Players, who have registered so strong an im- pression in this city, thus far during their performances.
 For the, coming weeks production probably the most sensational drama of recent years will be the selected play. 4'The Revolt'' is from the pro- life pen of Edward Locke, the well known author of ''The Clinax ,, which enjoyed run of two entire years at Weber's theatre in New York : The Bubble" in which Louis Mann starred for year at the Shubert and Maxine Elliott's theatre in New York. and many other notable successes. MT. Locke describes his play as "a tense and extremely interesting drama of modern t1mes.'' This caption is in a measure the height of modesty on the part of the playwright, for not only is his work tense and interesting. but 1t more than passes the goal of dramatic appeal and its power to grin and hold audiences spellbound with a SIo1 IIldII IS SIdI tllIIS cLllO SIupSndOuS. the veritable daring of the theme handled in a masterful manner, tn keen insight into the lives of the habitues of the "red light district'' ot great metropolitan city; the down. fall and eventual retaining of a soul steeped in the whirl of the under. | world; and the reward of a mothers loVe reaching far into the heart o1 all; the bangs suffered by the father and mother during their chi1d's serf. ous illness; their prayers being an. sWered; and the final warm breath Of love bringing it's rays of sunshine and happiness into shattered home all are engrossingly encompassed ir ''The Revolt" with such rare skill and deftness that brought forth the great and unanimous praise of ever, New York critic.

MANY NEGROES WALK
HOME FROM NORTH

Waycross, Dec. ga Number
of negroes who have been in
Pennsylvania and New Jersey
have passed through Waycross
on their way home. Judging by
their statements the negroes from
the South won't remain in the
Northern states any longer than
necessary. The cold weather has
all of them thinking of the mild
climate of the South, and one of
the negroes here today said the
men who did not have money to
pay their way home were walk
ing, so eager are they to reach the
South.
A few Of the Waycross negroes
have returned, and the stories
they brought indicate that it will
take more than promises of good
pay to get negroes away from this
section again.
