PEACE WANTED NOW
 BY RUSSIANS
Russia Is Painted as a Miserable Nation, Poor, Helpless,
 Hopeless.
SPEECH MADE IN DUMA

BERLIN, Jan. 15. CWlreless to Sayvllle).-Reports of the recent memorable session of the Russian duma received here, says the Over. seas News Agency, include a speech by a member of that body named Tshenkell, quoting him as saying:
 "The parliamentary majority, form ed in arbitrary fashion, raves against peace in order to conceal the fact that the whole Russian nation and all la borers of Russia desire nothing more ardenuy than peace"
 Maxim Gorly, the Russian poet, is lnoted by the Overseas News Agen- cy as saying in a speech at the an- niversary celebration of the Asso. citation of Russian Writers that the future now is darker for the Russian nation than ever before; that her military prospects are hopeless and Russia is facing 8 winter of famine, privation and misery.
 Russia sacrificed herself for her friends and in return has been aban- doned by them,' Gorky is quoted as declaring. ''Wealthy England which could alleviate our misery, remains dull or offers help at conditions that ire, shameful and humillating,"
 The news agency adds that Gorty predicted a further increase in reac' .ionary tendencies in Russia and as- serted since it is impossible to bring the war to a happy ending, t would be better to terminate 1t in order to avoid a peace by grace of England"

4 RInnder os the church


 "The pastor of the church one morning received a call from the Board of Trustees. The substance was that the minister was told that the people felt the church would prosper more under a younger man. The pastor was 60 years Of age-"too old" he was told, to continue and hold the church together. He had served the church for nearly 40 years: had given the best years of his life to its upbuilding and 10 the mnistrations Of it's people; he had married it's young, baptised its chil- dren, had soothed the last hours ot those who had passed away, had laid them to rest and had said the last words over them; not to speak of all the rest And now he was 'tor old to do any of these things, and Q younger man must take his place.
 "In short after a lifetime of SCI vice. he was thrown on the scrap. heap-with a parting testimonial and an illuminated address. Of course he could ask for clergy relief, and receive the pittance that would be coming to him. But has 1t ever oc. cured to us that clergyman has quite as much selCrespeCt as a man in any other profession, and that these clergy rcliefs'-simply another name for dolcs Of charity--do not ap. peal to man, and that, even if he does ask, they are absolutely made Quate for the most domerate sup port of even an old man and his wife. And so this servant of God went the way of hundreds Of others of his cloth.
 "A little sequel to this story Ca true one) is very important and sig nificant. This man had a son a' college just going to enter the sem mary to take a theological educa ton and become a minister like his father. He came home, went into his fathers study, and said:
 Dad, this is rotten! l know now what the ministerial scrap-heap means. My decision to be a minis. ter is off. I am for a job where I can hold my rights and ask no ia. yors, and where at 60 I'll have a competence.
 "The father demurred, but the son was obdurate. He went back to col lege, changed his course, was grad. uated as the most brilliant schOla! Yale had seen in three decades, ant is today one of the most respected and successful professional men ir the Unitul States.
 "The church lost a man-some thing that it needs more than any. thing else. And it will go on losing men until the average Iayman wakes up and sees the responsibility of the Church to take care Of it's old clergy men as business houses are taking care Of their employees.
 "A little business welfare would help the Church"
 The Church does need men more than money. And the right sort of young men will enter the ministry with a spirit of conservation and not because Of a pension system.
 But the absence of a pension sys. tenn may be a powerful deterrent because a clergyman has other lives than his own to consider"

PLAZA

Today ushers in another brilliant combination of vaudeville and photo plays at the Plaza and the new pro gram will be presented three times daily during the rest of the week. Ap- pearings at the head of the vaudeville list are Howard and Fields in that tunefu1, shoulder swaying musical novelty, The Rag Time Dining Car" Vaudeville patrons ever ready to give the new and original a warm well come wilI.find in this act something that has hitherto been overlooked by act originators. The act is so well filled with catchy music, and the brightest most up to the minute sort of comedy talk that it has been prov ing a whirlwind success during long string of big vaudeville engagements Holding the position of honor among the Plaza screen productions for the balance of the week is a stirring drama entitled Soldiers of Chance" a Greater Vitigraph production featuI- ing Evart Overton, Miriam Fouches Juliaz Swayne Gordon and strong supporting compaiy. Here is a story of South America with its action and scenes set in the mystic enchantment of the tropics. It Is a drama of finan- cial intrigue and a brave mans fight for love eSoldfers~of Chance Is in every way a modern picture with a loveable hero and heroine who are, through the workings of fate, propell- ed Into the midst of a South Aneri- can revolution. The picture Is one of stirring action and compelling force throughout the five faultlessly pro duced acts that compose the strong screen story Prominent among the vaudeville, acts is Kitty Flynn. known as "eThe Girl From Brighton."- Down at that particular portion of New York's -seashore this clever singing comedienne has long been a ruling favorite, a position gained by her vii vacious manner, exceptional clever ness and charming personality. Rice and Francis, a clever comedian and a pretty girl, deliver a particularly fetching combination of singing and comedy batter. Olive Green & Go. form one of the strongest singing and dancing trios in vaudeville and they are positively sure of registering a de- cided hit with theatregoersA who at tend the Plaza. The ninth episode of 'The Fatal Ring with Pearl White and the popular cast, occupies an add Ned feature position. The Fatal Ringv IS proving one of the most, ex- citing, gripping and thoroughly inter esting serial pictures that has ever been produced. Each episode proves a strong magnet of attraction.

LYRIC

- Theodore Burt Sayre's gripping mill ftary play The Commanding Gener- a1r' which established new records for runs when produced on Broadway, will be the offering of the New Lyric stock company in it's fourth week in this city The piece was procured only Safter a good deal of persuasion on the part of the Poi management, be- cause MT. Sayre was unwilling to place 1t in the hands of stock compan- les until he was satisfied that it would receive the interpretation and ex- cellent acting that it deserves.
 Manager Arvine, however, quickly settled the matter. He had the noted playwright as his guest here Monday evening. and MT. Sayre, after seeing the work of the actors and actresses, in Broadway and Buttermilk' imme- diately gave his consent. He had the highest praise for the playing of Miss Warda. Howard and Dudley Ayers, leading woman and man respectively, and in addition put himself on record as declaring that the minor parts in The Commanding Officer" which aren't really minor parts at all, would be well taken care of by tn. rest of the New Lyric cast.
 s"Broadway and Buttermilk," re- leased for the first time for stock, will continue as the attraction during the remainder of the week, and Miss Towards now celebrated buttermilk will be dispensed to. patrons between the acts in the lobby.
 There will be a get-acauainted mat inee Friday afternoon at which Miss Edith Spencer and Arthur Buchanan, two of the most popular members of the company, will be the hosts. There will be a special souvenir matinee next Monday.
 George Greeley, juvenile, who has been obtained from the Frohman company as one of the highest priced men in his. line, will soon make his debut before the new Lyric patrons.

POLES

The idol of the American stage, Ethel Barrymore is to appear on the Poli screen tomorrow. Seldom has this charming actress been seen in this city and her appearance now Is doubly inviting to theatre-goers because of the vehicle of her entrance. "The Lifted Veil'' which wifi be shown in it's five immense acts. This picture which involves society and Q love tragedy will be featured on the Poli screen today and for the remainder of the week, although Hearst-Pathe news releaset will have its attractive ness enhanced because of the extra effort of the cameramen to take &C., curate pictures of the naval and army movements of the Liberty forces.
