Earle Williams and Dorothy Kelly in The MaeIstrom, Feature for Today and Saturday.

The tenacity with which criminals shield their accomplices and the meth eds used by the police to force suS- poets to confess a crime are graphical ly displayed in The Maelstrom, the Greater Vitagraph Blue Ribbon fea- ture which will be shown at the Breed theatre today and Saturday.
 Third degree methods are supposed to have been abolished in most police departments. and in many cases they have; but there are many instances, even in these enlightened days where prisoners break down under pressure and the police are enabled to clear up crimes. In The MaelstrOm, however, the police have to deal with a defiant type Of criminal. and all the battering, bulldozing and strong arm tactics fail to shake him Earle Williams and Dorothy Kelly are featured in The &aelstrom-

 Dear Madam: - Information con- cerning the destruction by torpedo of the steamship Orleans early this month comes to us as a keen disap- hospital supplies valued at s10,000 bound for France. These were almost entirely the donations of various chapters, including the Stonington circle, and indivi6s al contributors.
 The sinking of the ship, of course, meant loss of the entire cargo.
 Thus far this is to our knowledge the only loss of this character since the entry of the United States into the war. While this incident comes as shock and a bitter disappofnt- ment, it should not dishearten, but part of all who are able to assist in furnishing these much >1eeded sup plies.
 We wish to express our sincere thanks for your splendid part in past service, and bespeak your co-opera- ton in our future efforts. It is in deed a service that demands the best assured that the utmost will be done to safeguard future shipments
 Very sincerely yours
