sister or mother, no less eager than
they were, had to come with them,
and places were found for all of them.
The main floor of the theatre was
filled early, and the balconies were
filled.
The children We're welcomed by
members of the lodge, and were made
at home by the lodge folks and the
theatre management. There were
cheers and shouts Of laughter as the
curtain was raised and the pictures
began. There were seven reels OF
pictures, two of them of comic pic

Ward and Miss Stadler sang songs
and Father J. w. Gillespie Of ST

literally compared to Australian rab-
bits which overrun that continent as
a result of half a dozen brought

"What do we find in the strong
box of the banker?" he asks: Bonds

ing princely dividends"
He adds that some of these banks
have paid their stockholders as high
as forty per cent dividends while the,
investors, whose money has earned
this dividend, get only three per cent
annually. In other words, says the
writer, your money, instead Of work
ing for you, is working for the other

not decided how long she shall be per-

To accept the German contention

GERMAN NEWSPAPERS PUBLISH
REVIEWS OF FRANC0-bRITISH
WEST OFFENSIVE MOVEMENTS
the Allies Announced Anticipated Victories of
the Campaign at the Beginning of Hostiities
Shows Part ial Failure

Berlin, Feb. Shy wireless to Say
ville).-Reviews OF the Franco-British Of
fensive movements on the western front
are being published in the German news
papers. They are summarized by the
Overseas ws>Agency as follows:
These offensive movements were ush-
cred in by formal announcements Of COM
ing victory. immediate and certain, as
Lord Curzon declared in August, 1914,
when he already saw the Bengalese and
the russians entering Berlin. Similar
announcements were made when France,
after the success on the Marine, regained
her spirits. The third announcement came
when, in October, 1914, the German ad-
vance in Belgium was stopped by mum
dations.
According to Anglo-French newspa-
pers, the great offensive movement start
ed in November. 1914. According to some
of these reports the French reconquered
Lille on Nov. Is The French also spelled
Metz, il was declared, and the Germans
prepared for the defence of Strassburg
In the spring of 1915 Italian newspapers
announced the arrival of 10000 Hindus
ana ou",VS japanese. 1t was likewise an
nounced that Ostend would fall within a
few days, while the newspapers declared
that Germany virtually lad asked for
peace. These reports, however. were all
purely fanciful and imaginative.
The beginning of the real offensive
movement was on March 10. 1915, when
the English attacked and took Neuve

has been under the guard of detectives
since the tragedy. The application for
her removal to private sanitarium
was made by Charles H. Teiper, John
Edwards brother through the family
lawyer, George A. Lewis.
Mr.. Lewis made the application to
Justice Herbert A. Bissell of the SUI
preme court. He asked the court to
name a committee to take charge of
the girl on the ground that she is in
competent to manage her own affairs
because Of the injuries to her brain.
The application was opposed by Guy
d. Moore, Mr.. Dudley's assistant. He
declared that it was an effort to sup
press evidence Which may be used
in the prosecution of Miss Teiper's
brother"
Judge Bissell asked for time to con-
suit points of law involved and Mr..
Lewis consented to drop the proceed
ings and renew them later on.
