Metal Producers
Protest Against
Price Fixing
(By Review Leased Wire)

SALT LAKE CITY. Dec. 5.-A Wig
orous protest against government
price fixing for other than patriotic
reasons. and an appeal to congress for
correction of inequalities In the ex-
cess profits tax law, were embodied
in resolutions unanimously adopted
today by metal producers from six
western states in conference here.
After some consideration by special
committees and limited discussion on
the floor the convention voted TO take
no action with reference to lead and
zinc until such time as the govern
ment attitude indicated that the fixing
of the prices OF these products was
under consideration. The sense OF
the meeting was that should such an
occasion arise. the convention would
favor action similar to that recon-
mended in the resolution bearing on
the silver question.
The convention voted to form a
permanent committee composed of
two or more delegates from each

again.
"And now. my friends. want you
all to stand up and pay tribute in sill
ence for a moment to the first Ameri-
can soldier killed in France"
The assembled guests rose as one
man and stood before the speaker for
a long minute and one could have
heard a pin drop in the banquet room.
81 thank you, gentlemen" said
Captain Wheeler with deep earnest
ness, and took his seat. The hand
clapping and cheers that followed
them made the country club ring.
Harry Wheeler never showed to
greater advantage than he did last
night facing his friends who had gath
cred TO honor him. One Of the most
modest men that ever lived, he faced
the praise and the cheers with a
downcast glance. But when they made
him to get up an speak, he stood upon
his feet and looked the throng in the
face and spoke from his heart. He
said the right thing in the right way.
Modest for himself, he was a lion for
the cause for which this district
stands. His intense patriotism blazed
out time and again during his talk.
"D-n a man that is not patriotici"
he declared. Referring again to the
doctored report made TO the president
of the United States about our defense
CT our city, he stated that the trial OF
Embree at Tucson brought out many
things in connection with the strike
and the men behind II that branded
them as disloyal traitors. He told of
the testimony of a Mexican who de-
clared that the strike leaders told him
that 1t was to his best interest for the
United States to be beaten by Ger
many. And that testimony is down
in black and white" said Captain
Wheeler, "and it will be forwarded
to Washington TO stand against the
Franksurter report"
The attendance at the banquet over
whelmed the committee on arrange
rnents and there were not enough
places for the guests at the long
tables. IL was splendid gathering
of high class, patriotic business men
and workers and professional men OF
the district. All were strong still in
the faith, and they had gathered there
TO try to show the man who had led
them and failed not, just how they
felt about it.

master and introduced Professor T.

er and his great work in time OF a cris-

ism and the trend OF the world TO de-
mocracy.
The music during the banquet was

speeches. II was one grand success,
this Wheeler banquet. and the modest

friends had a Jim dandy time together

FRANCE, Dec. 5.-The Germans to-
day still were inactive along the most
of the new battle front. Fighting was
in progress around a fortified farm
north of Havincourt. after an enemy
attack in the morning. but no other Of
fensive developed against the British
line up to noon.
There has been rumors of an at
tack south of Marcoing. but it did not
materialize; it is possible it has been
postponed because of the heavy cas-
ualties suffered by Won Hindenburg's
forces Monday.
The Germans doubtless hope to push
back the British line and recap.ure the
front between La Vacquerie and Mar
Going. The sharp salient which Gen
eral Gyng is holding about Bourbon
wood has given rise to interesting
military problems. The British have
held this line against repeated heavy
attacks, but there is no gainsaying the
fact that II is a difficult position to
maintain and it is considered that the
British front would be considerably
stronger without il.

GERMANS REINFORCE CAMBRIA
SECTOR; ALLIED ARMIES ARE
WAITING ENEMY'S ASSAULTS
fBy Review Leased wire)

While for the momen. there are no
infan ny operations of great magnitude
in progress on any of the battle fronts,
indications are not wanting that short
ly the Cambria sector in France and
the northern line in the Italian theater
will again witness titanic struggles,
with the AustIo-Hungarfans and the
Germans the>aggressors.
Already the Germans in the Cam
brai region have brought up. rein
forcements, with the object Of blotting
out the salient driven into their line by
General Byng's intrepid dash, a small
portion of which they have recon
Quered, but at a fearful price.
Waiting Assaults
In Italy, along the Sette Comuni and
the Asiago plateau, enemy guns OF all
calibres have opened fire on the ltal-
ian positions and several hill positions
have been captured in small attacks.
Roth before Cambria and in the ltal-
ian region the allied armies are
awaiting with complacency the enemy
assaults.
While near Cambria it is conceded
that the British will be forced by rea-
son of the dangerous salient held by
the enemy in their line to somewhat
straighten out their front, optimism is
expressed that on the whole Generai
Byng's forces will be able to give a
good accounting for any attacks the
enemy may launch.
Italian Forces Strengthened
Likewise the menace of a dash by
the Austro-Germans out upon the
plains of Venetia has been provided
for by the reinforcement of the Ital-
ians with British and French troops
and guns. If Field Marshal Won Hoet-
zendorf, commander of the enemy
troops should be able to breach the
line and gain his objective, it will be
only after one of the most sanguinary
encounters of the war.
In Mesopotamia the British and Rus
sian troops have carried out a success
full operation against the Turks, but
just where, has not been stated. This
has Significance, inasmuch as it is the
first report of the fighting of the Rus
since they formed a junction after
the British captured Bagdad.

and Vienna that Rumania has propos-
ed to enter into negotiations for an
armistice with the Teutonic allies,
both Berlin and Vienna reiterate that

BLANCHE YURkA

4 NEW PLAY called DAY
"a opened at the Harris Theatre
three weeks ago. Coincdent with the
opening. Broadway suddenly awokc TO
the fact that there was a new some
body in its midst. Her name is Blanche
Yurka and she plays the leading fem
mime role. Every one agreed that she
played il exceedingly well so well, in
fact, that ever since Broadway mean
ing by that the world Of the theatre
has been asking who Blanche Yurka is.
Blanche Yurka began life in st. Paul.
For her first twelve years it isn't re-
corded that she did any more or any
less than most young maids of the
same tender years. Then she was
chosen one day to take part in school
play not that that is so much differ
cnt from the history of many other
young ladies of similar age. But what
followed made it an interesting event
in the life Of little Miss Yurka.
There was stock company holding
forth in st. Paul at the time. The
manager happened to go to the school
play. The following week he was to do
a play that required the services of a
child actress. He sought out Miss
Yurka's mother and after much persua-
sion induced her to permit her daugh-
ter to act IN the company. That settled
it, Little Miss Yurka didn't so right
on with her stage career-not bit OF
il. She went back to school. But she
had had a taste of the foOtlights, and
four years later she secured an Oppor-
tunity 10 play regularly in stock.
Her first Broadway appearance was
in the Belasco production of as Mstri
mony . Failure" She had only small
bit, but she did that bit so we'll that
the young woman who was playing her
first leading role in the play not only
became her firm friend but a genuine
admirer Of her ability as well. The
young woman was Jane Cowl.
Miss Yurka had another session of
stock work, and two seasons ago came
back to Broadway with T.. II. Sothern
in "The Two Virtues Then came
"The Silent Witness People had nu-
mer0us nice things to say about Miss
Yurka, even though they didn't care an
awful lot for the play. But, then, few
people remember any one who is in a
failure
And now Miss Yurka is in play that
isn't a failure, and people have again
said many nice things about her And
people will remember them.
How did she happen to be in DAY
break? Well, Jane Cowl has a long
memory. When she was trying to think
of some one who could play the part
the way she thought it ought be played
she just,couldn't think of any one who
would come half so near flling the bill
as the same Blanche Yurka she had
played with some years before. Miss
Yurka was playing with Frank Keenan,
IN "Thc Pawn out in Chicago, but,
like every one else in the theatrical
world, she was just waiting for the
call of Broadway.
