awful winters In camp with the COM

men welcomed her coming, for her
presence brought them cheer and In
many cases comfort and relief from

later life that she heard the first can

closing Of all the campaigns Of the

Splendid Work Of D. 4. r. |

To come down to present-day wom-
en-, the Daughters Of the American
Revolution have surely done their part
for American independence. They have
accomplished an immense amount of
memorial work, and there Is hardly n
city or town on the Atlantic seaboard
in or near which battles of the Revo-
luton We're fought where there is not
some evidence of their work In record
ing the revolutionary deeds Of their
ancestors, their aim being TO perpetu-
ate the memory Of the heroes who
wrought independence for our coun-
try.
American independence was mani
Tested and sustained by the women at
the time of the Revolution, as IL was
In later years, and as 1t is being mani
fesft1 and sustained today In every
section Of our land.

ami others of the great spirits Of that
day were among her correspondents.
Her home was the rendezvous Of much
company, and she herself said: by
the Plymouth Preside were many pO-
litlcal plans discussed and dlgested."
Elizabeth Schuyler entered warmly
into her husbands plans and sympa-
thies when she became the wife Of
Alexander Hamilton; and Susan Llv-
lngston, the eldest daughter of Will
liam Livingston, governor of New Jer-
sey at the time Of the Revolution, is
credited with two strategic moves
against the enemy which might have
done credit to the cleverest daughter
trained In camp life today.

ately sent out to duplicate the vase.
The search over the city occupied the
entire day while the company enjoyed
a holiday. To leave the sneeze In
the picture was an impossibility,
coming as II did in the midst of SO
dramatic a scene, so there was moth

until another vase could be secured.
1T is funny how a little uninten-
tional mishap will upset great big
institution that way. l know of an
other time We were held up for near
ly an entire day because a room had
been fitted with the wrong kind of
door knobs. Had we used the knobs
that were first placed, we would have
received hundreds OF letters about
them criticising our otherwise Won
derfully artistic sets, so we had to
send a man down town to get the
proper kind of door knobs. I am
really interested in The Silent Part
ner' because there are many girls
who are of much more value to their
employers than they realize. and I
hope that this production will open
some of these employers eyes and
that the deserving business girls
will be properly rewarded.

ARTILLERY AND AIR
 BATTLES IN FRANCE
Entente Makes Some Gains in Night OperatiOns-BOth Side Claim Number of Airplanes Shot Down.

London, April 27-Important posi- tions between Roeux and Gavrelle and near the Arras- -Cambrai road have been captured by the British, the war office announced today. The British during the night also cap tured the Guarries on the eastern out skirts of Hargicourt.
 The statement reads:
 "The enemy made a minor unsuc- cessful attack last night against our positions in the neighborhood of Fayet, northwest of St. Quentin. His troops were driven off with loss after sharp fighting and he left a number of prisoners in our hands.
 During the night we captured the quarries on the eastern outskirts of Hargicourt. The enemy fled hurried ly, abandoning rifles and equipment.
 "Other successful local operations were made by us in the neighborhood of the Arras- Cambrai road on the spur between Rouex and Gavrelle. Important enemy positions were cap tured by us at both points.
 Northwest of Lens a German raid ing party was caught by our machine gun fire and it failed to reach our trenches"
 The night statment reads:
 There is nothing of special inter- est to report from the battle front.
 Yesterday the activity in the air was again marked In the air fight ing seven German airplanes were brought down and six others were driven down out of control. One hos tile balloon also was destroyed. Six of our airplanes are missing"

GENERAL DEBATE ON
 CONSCRIPTION ENDS
Both Houses Will Vote on Pro- posal Before Tonight-ROOse- welt Plan Loses in House By Vote of 170 to 106.

Washington, April 27.-General de- bate on the war army bill closed in the House late today, and members began the final five minute speech making on amendments expected to continue far into the night or until tomorrow.
 By a vote of ITO to 106, the House today refused to amend the army bill so as to permit Col Roosevelt to raise a volunteer force for service in I France.
 An agreement to vote when the House meets tomorrow on an amend ment to restore the draft feature as originally proposed by the admins tration was reached this evening.
 In the Senate the bill was taken up under an agreement to reach final vote by tomorrow night. Sixteen senators still were to be heard.
 Debate in the Senate was opened by Senator Jones (Rep.) of Washing ton, who supported the selective draft.
 The man who must conduct the war, our commander-in-chief, urges l it as a wise and necessary measure now," said he "The military authori- ties, almost without exception, urge l it. The Senate committee that has fully examined into it recommends it. The lessons of this great war point to it as wise course. Why should I not vote for it ?"
 Senator Kenyon said he expected to support the bill, but wanted exemp- tions in favor of men in employments of military value changed so that the power of enforcing such exemptions would not be in the hands of military men alone. He opposed the LaFol- lette amendment for civil tribunals to pass upon questions of exemption.
 The Iowa senator declared he fav- ored also an amendment which would permit Col Roosevelt to go to the front in command of American troops.
 Ut would be an inspiring thing" he said, Eff Col. Roosevelt could lead division side by side with the tri- color of France. Nothing would help bring the war to speedy end as much as that. But they say it would demoralize our army. It seems to me it would demoralize the army of the enemy more."
 Senator Kenyon read figures to show enormous increase in the in comes of corporations affected by the war, and added:
 "I want to say that while l am voting for conscription of these men, am going to vote later on for con scription of the great incomes of this country to help pay the expense of this war. Conscription of incomes above the ordinary amount that any ordinary demands of life needs is just as logical as the conscription of men. In my judgment every income above $1O0,OOO should be comman-

pI ANS FOR BUILDING
 INVITED STATES ARMY
VIII Set Wheels in Motion Soon "an as Kill Signed-Sites for Can tonments m Have Been Selected Tentatively.

vosbington. April 27.-With the
 ..tmont of the selective draft army hill apparently assured, the War De- nortmept is preparing to set machin- prv p in motion to produce within two roars a trained army of 2,OOO,OOO men.
 Within 10 days after the bill is stoned every township in the country ,r;l he registering it's young men for dutv and work will have begun on the 1e training camps where preparation # tbe forces for war will start in aucust or September. Sites for the .antonments have been selected ten tatively.
 Decentralization of administrative work will be sought by the depart ment in every move it makes. It is known that registration will be car ried on through sheriffs and other county officials, aided by postmasters or other federal agencies where that seems desirable.
 Wide publicity is planned, so that no man liable for registration will have a good excuse for failing to res pond. On date to be set every citi- zen affected by the act will be re- quired on pain of penalty to present himself at the nearest registration place, where machinery will be pro- vided for classifying the recruits and eliminating those exempt.
 With the rolls of those liable for service complete, the task of selecting the men to go in the first increment of 5O0,000 will begin. It has been suggested that this be done by means of the county jury wheel. The first man whose name is drawn would go, under that plan, with the first 500,- 900 to be called out for training with in a few months. The second drawn would go with the second increment to be called six months later; the third with the third increment, with duty a year off, the fourth with the first increment, and so on.
 Meanwhile the work of building the cantonments will go forward. Regular troops and national guards men will be assigned to them, with each arm of the service so represent ed as to provide the framework of a complete army division at each point. The guardsmen will be selected from tne territory covered by the training ulstrlct so far as practicable. Police auty at the cantonments will become part ot the responsibility of each dis riet commandment, and he will make Such assignment of his forces as he

"The Twelve-Pound Look"
Ethel Barrymore in Familiar
Role at the Empire

Trim, slim and vocally at her best,
Ethel Barrymore once more trod the
stage of the Empire Theatre last night
as the typist heroine of Sir James Bar
ric's familiar playlet, "The Twelve
Pound Look"
1t was Miss Barrymore's first ap-
pearance hereabouts since "Our Mrs.
NcChesney"-her sole emergence from
the screen in something more than a
year. And even these performances,
it is safe to say, would not be given
were it not that the profits will ac-
crue to a war fund. in the interests Of
which Miss Barrymore IS now doing
her bit without remuneration.
Both "The Twelve-Pound Look" and
Miss Barrymore's work therein have
long been well known, so it need only
be added that the substitution Of
this playlet for the somewhat Greary
"Old Friends" renders the programme
at the Empire one Of the most thor
oughly entertaining to be found any,
where in town. In addition 20 Miss
Barrymore fine performance there is
the work of Charles Dalton, the orig
inal Sir Harry Sims, who does every
thing possible for the oppressively
successful and slightly overdrawn hus
band. The new Lady Sims is played
satisfactorily by Beatrice Terry. who
is reputed to be some sort of relation
to the immortal Ellen.
"The New Word" and "The Old Lady
Shows Her Medals" combine with "The
Twelve Pound Look" to make. up the
evening
