Elsie Ferguson in ''The Rise of Jen-
ME Cushing,

Many modern photopiays and stage
productions, as well as books, deal
with the fall of woman. burt few, if
any, deal with her rise.
We have the pleasure of telling
you, however, of one which is to be
the exception and that story is en-
titled, "The Rise of Jennie Cushing"
from the book by Mary S. Watts. In
this production, which is one of Art
crafts best, we meet again that tai
ented stage star, Elsie Ferguson, who
enacts the. title role. and who. with
her wonderful ability and charming
personality is able to portray all
phases of Jennie Cushings life, from
that of street urchin to that of social
position.
Like all well regulated and we'll or
dered stories. whether on the printed
page or on the moving celluloid, this
too has its love story, but it is a love
story of the unexpected sort. The
sweethearts do not do all the things
which you expect them to do, but do
some of the things which you do not
expect. and therein lies a large part
of the interest.
If you saw "Barbary Sheep" you
realize that the motion picture has
gained wonderful acquisition in the
person of Miss Ferguson and we
feel sure that you will like her in
this up-to date drama of American
modern life. =
In addition to the main produc-
ton, there will be Mutt and Jeff
Cartoon and new travelogue, and
a Drew comedy, all of which short
subjects have become very popular in
this city.

BRAZILIAN FOREIGN
 SECRETARY ATTACKED
 FOR U-BOAT MESSAGE

Rio JaneiYo, Feb. 13-Deputy Medieros bitterly attacks Dr. Lauro Muller, the Brazilian foreign secre- tary, in an article in Noite in connec- ton with the Brazilian note to Ger many which he terms a terrible de- ception. According to Senor Medeiros the place given the note in the French press is merely manifestation of po- liteness. The article continues.
 'Dr. Muller ought not to ignore the terrible suspicion which surrounds linn on account of his origin and his political interests. \ The actual note did not dissipate this nightmare and now, when Dr. Muller discovers in it a decisive energy, he is only enforcing the belief that it is impossible for him to do anything against Germany
 Alluding to the possibly candidacy of the foreign secretary for the presi- dency, Senor Medeiros says:
 When Dr. Muller will have proved that, in spite of the appeals of his ancestry he. cah dissipate the sus- picions which surround him. he win have won so great a victory over him. self that nobQdy will dare to dispute his right to aspire to the highest post in the republic, of which. he will be indispensable, not words. The note is at this moment document without definite value. Tomorrow it will be excellent or detestable according to the acts which follow it"

SLOVAKS TO HOLD MASS MEETING FOR
 ENDORSING WILSON

All Slovak residents of the city are to be invited to attend a mass meet ing to be held Sunday, March 4, for the purpose of pledging their support to President Wilson and the govern ment in the present situation with Germany. A meeting of represents tives of four Slovak parishes of the city was held last evening in the par sonage of Sts. Cyril S Methodius church.
 Rev. Gaspar Panik, pastor of Sts Cyril & Methodius church, presided Others present were: Rev. Andrew B. Komara, pastor of St. John Nepomuck R. c. church; Rev. Michael J. Golob, pastor of the Holy Cross Creation R. c. church, and Rev. Ludwig J. Kar- lovsky, pastor of the Slovak JStheran church. The trustees present, repre- senting the various churches, were Andrew Rusnak, Joseph Malisak, ste- phen Buda, Paul Antalik, George Van- gor, Joseph Mihaly and John Mayer.

dale, and theo ther affects the old Prussian American treaties of 1799 and 1928.
 Dr. Ritter stated that Germany had decided to hold the Americans until she has definite assurances that Ger man crews in American harbors will not be held or imprisoned.
 This development, wholly unex- pected, amazed the American Govern ment. Officials here had come to the conclusion that the early reports which misled the German Govern ment as to the treatment of German crews had been effectively dispelled by forwarding the complete details. This included President Wilson's an- nouncement that German ships would not be seized now or in event of war.
 While the American sailors are held pending further assurance as to the status of German sailors in America the release of the Yarrowdale prison CTS is regarded as certain. An urgent protest against their detention will be made at once. A peremptory demand for their release was one of the last instructions sent to former Ambassa- dor Gerard.
 As to the old treaties, Germany wants them reaffirmed. and has for warded long list of added clauses to modernie them and to extend their provisions relative to the treatment of enemy residents in case of war. The document was submitted in French and is now being tra,nslated for the consideration of President Wilson and Secretary Lansing. Off, cials said yesterday that the proposed treaty is entirely different from the originals, and strong doubt was ex- pressed as to whether the United States would enter into negotiations on the subject.
 Important among the changes is a provision expanding the exemption from seizure in event of war between the two countries of merchants and their effects into an exemption spe- officially mentioning enemy shipa which are in port at the time of the outbreak of war, and which must either be left in port or given safe conduct to their own ports.
 It was this revised treaty that MT. Gerard refused to sign in Berlin after the break in relations

LAX-A-T0NE
 BRINGS HEALTH
 AND HAPPINESS
Bridgeport lady says this rem edy worked a miracle in the
 case of her husband.

A remoseful fellow said one day when the world looked awfully blue to him that the only place he could find sympathy was in the dictionary. Well, many people come into this drug store every day looking for health. Health may also be found in the dictionary, but in very neutral form, while Lax-aTone cannot be found in the dictionary but in the Hartigan Drug Stores in a very active form. Lax-a-Tone is very highly recommended for the stomach, liver, kidneys and blood. It is made from herbs and free from injurious drugs. Mrs. William Kay. who lives at S35 Worden avenue, this city, says:
 My husband has suffered for many years with sour acid stomach, had gas and b1oat after eating and no matter how little he ate it did not seem to agree with him. He had no appetite and felt run down and tired out. AS I had received such mar vicious results from Lax-a-Tone per- suaded him to try it and with wonder full results. He is now a we'll man and I am glad to endorse this remedy"
 Why suffer from malaria, consti- patton, sick and bilious headaches, lame backs. torpid liver, furred tongue, dizzy spells. feel weak and run down and have no appetite. Lax-a- Tone will put you on your feet in a weeks time,, give it a trial and you will be singing its praises.
 E Lax-a-Tone is for sale exclusively at Hartigan Drug Stores, S1s Fairfield avenue and Main and Congress streets.

Chautauqua Speaker Says One Aerial Scout Is Worth
 Army Corps.

The wonderful part which aircraft has played in the great world war was thrillingly described by William Menkel at the opening of the Eighth Annual Chautauqua assembly in the Casino last night, The speaker csti- mated that at the beginning of the war about 2,5OO aircraft were in the service of the warning nations and that at present at least 25.OOO are in use. He described the various types of planes used by the war scouts and showed very interesting photographs or these machines as well as photo graphs obtained at considerable risk by the f1iers. Some of thep hoto- graphs show clearly the ravages of shell and bomb fire over a much dis puted field. One showed a submarine vessel caught 70 feet below the sur- lace of the water.
 MT. Menkel described the method or attack by airmen and the methods used to protect themselves from at lacks. The aviators are now the eyes or the army and by their aid attacks are successful, or are failures without them. One air scout is considered worth whole army corps.
 Rev. George M. Brown opened the assembly with words of welcome and prayer. Rev. Gerald H. Beard re- counted past lectures under the Chau- tauqua auspices and introduced the speaker. {
