against Germany's progress in Ru-
mania.
Officials declared that no belliger-
ent ever asked the neutrals to begin
negotiations but steps taken by the
neutrals have not been regarded un-
friendly by the Teutons. They said
the public state of mind was not
such that American interference
would be welcomed.

LONDON, Dec. 20.-The Allies
have not slammed her door, but
simply said, Here's our terms, take
or leave them. This is your role
but do not come again in the role of
victor" This is the universal British
view.
The public Interpretation was tina.
Lloyd George furnished Won Beth
mann-Holweg the opportunity to
demonstrate his sincerity. 1t is ar
gued if Germany really desires peace
she knows the methods to obtain it..
Lloyd Georges plan for universal
national service, and civilian mobili-
zation has been accepted without OPP
position or complaint. Everywher-
the new plans are regarded as "out
Germanylng" Germany in concentra-
tion of effort and the utilization of
all sources.

One of the most stupendous produc-
tons the Jesse L. Lasky company has
ever made for the Paramount program
is said to be ITO Have and to Hold"
which will be the attraction at the
Spencer Friday and Saturday with the
beautiful Mae Murray in the stellar
role, supported by Wallace Reid and
an all-star cast. The photoplay is
taken from Mary Johnson's famous
novel of the early days of Virginia, and
as Lady Jocelyn Leigh, Miss Murray

the costumes and scenery having been
especially prepared by a score of ar
lists after months of careful research.

Yes, But Think OF Charley's Income
IaN.

Ofhand. it doesn't seem possible
that there's a person in the United
States who'd refuse Charlie Chaplin's
swollen salary. Well, Ruth Roland,
the Balboa star, is one.
1t has been figured that if the funny
Teller gets the trife over half mil
lion, annually. as the papers say, he'll
have to give $26,S70 Of it to your
Uncle Samuel for income tax
TO be separated from that much
money for taxes" declares Miss Ro-
land, would surely kill me-" And as
Balboa's movie queen isn't in a
hurry to die she refuses TO consider
such a stipend. At least, that's what
she says.

STREAM NEARING

Mississippi Rises Foot and Reaches
Stage of Is Feet Above Low
Water in Last "a Hours.
FACTORY MAY BE CLOSED DOWN
Rock Island Bridge and Iron Works
Fears Operations VIII Have to
BE Suspended.

The Mississippi river at Rock IslanC
today neared menacing point when il
reached l3 feet above low water mark
At O'Clock this morning it was 12S
feet above low water. a rise of one
foot since yesterday.
Fear that factories in the Mill street
district would be damaged was feared
today. The water in the slough near
the Rock Island Bridge & Iron Works
was over the road and a rise of a few
more inches will place it in the fac
tory, causing the plant to close down
The municipal detention hospital and
the rendering works, south of the
bridge and iron plant. are bothered by
the water also
Rock river is swollen for miles
from its mouth, Farm lands are inun-
dated and fences have been carried
away from places up stream.
1t is not thought that the high wat
er will prevent the ferry from operat-
ing. The dock is of the floating type
and moves with the river.
Sewer Pump Operating.
There is little trouble from water in
the west end residence section. Com.
missioner Murrin has kept the sewer
pump at the foot of Fifth avenue in
operation constantly since the rive
became high. The device is able tc
empty the drains as fast as the sewage
reaches the mouth of the sewer.
Warning issued from the United
States weather bureau is to the effect
that the Mississippi river Monday will
reach its highest stage this spring
1t is fOrecasted that the river will a
that time be 14.5 feet above low water
a foot and half higher than it wa:
today.

The effect is most striking. The paint
used is a harmless watercoor.

William Nigh, the Metro director,
has one vice. He is a candy fiend.
So if you ever are talking to him,
and his eye goes wild, and his breath
comes short, and he looks furtively
around him and fumbles with his
jaw, hand him piece of home-pulled
molasses, and you'll get a big job.
