f. A. R. MEETING AT BOSTON TO BE
 WELL ATTENDED
Hub City Prepares to Enter tain Old Veterans of the
 War Between States.

Boston, Mass, July 28.-All ar engagements are nearing completion for the entertainment of the national ercampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, which will be held in this city. next month. Feeble with the weight of years, but with something like their old enthusiasm impelling them on, the "boys in blue" who went to the front in the eos will converge or Boston from every nook and corner of the country to take part in what may be their last big encampment. With the veterans there will gather members of nearly dozen allied or ganizations, and altogether Boston is preparing to entertain several hun dred thousand visitors.
 There is every reason to believe that the coming encampment will be one of the most notable that the G. A. R. has held in recent years. The present war enthusiasm prevailing throughout the country is expected to give added in terest to the big reunion of the men who fought for the flag more than half century ago. It will be the first time the veterans have met in New England in many years, and the folk of this section intend to show the old soldiers that they are liberal dis pensers of hospitality.
 For months the citizens committee of Boston, which has charge of the encampment arrangements, has work ed industriously to meet the huge task of welcoming and entertaining the large number of visitors. A large fund has been raised to defray expenses. The hotels will be filled to capacity and many private homes will be thrown open.for' the entertainment of the vet erans.
 There will be several innovations in the encampment program: The gath ering will have it's formal opening on Sunday, when the veterans will at tend patriotic service at the Old South church and listen to addresses by Commander-in-ch William J. Patterson of Pittsburg. Corporal Tan ner and others. On Monday there will be campfire at Symphony hall, at which the delegates will be welcomed by Governor Mccall. Mayor Curley of Boston and Daniel E. Denny of Wor- cester, commander of the department of Massachusetts. At this gathering also the greetings of the allied organ izations will be received These changes will prevent the usual inter ruptions to the business of the en- and save much time..
 Tuesday will be parade day, and on Wednesday the national delegates will meet for routine business and the regular tour of duty. It is possible that the election of officers will take place on Wednesday afternoon.
 The business sessions of the several organizations will be interspersed with numerous features of entertain ment. The delegates will be given free automobile rides about Boston and vicinity, with longer tours to Lexing- ton. Concord, Plymouth and other points of historic interest. One day of the encampment will be. devoted to a sail down the harbor and a shore din ner at Nantasket beach.

BEST THEATRE.

. sA . Monday Clara Kimball Young in "The Easiest Way" .l photodrama of what has been recognized as the
 greatest American drama, will be the
 attraction at the Best theatre Monday.
 This Selznick-Pictures production
 was directed by Albert Capellani, who
 won the highest laurels with his screen version of ""The Common Law"
 "The Easiest Way" is by Eugene
 Walter, another distinguished addi- tion to the list of famous authors who have furnished Selzn.ck-Pictures sto- ries.
 "The Aasiest Way" is the story of an actress who battles hard to win recognition but encounters every where the sort of underground pOli- tics and jealousies which baffle so many beginners in theatrical careers. She accepts the influence of wealthy man as the only means of overcoming the difficulties in her path, and as a matter of course is virtually compell- ed to pay the traditional price. Later she falls in love wAh a newspaper man, but he is too poor to marry her, and sets out to make his fortune pros pecting While he is absent the act ress again finds herself helpless, and is forced to go once more to her in- fluential friend for assistance. Again he exacts the price, and when the newspaper man returns, his fortune made, he is disgusted and refuses to forgixe a second time. This leads to a dramatic situation which brings the picture to a remarkable conclu- SiOn

"A Good: ':
 Recommendation

:! The business man has confidence in the boy or other employee with a bank account. He knows that any one who can save for himself can save for him, and that the money saved stands for character.
 It does not mean how much you have saved. but the fact that you have shown a determination to do a cer- tain thing; that a savings bank book is in itself a good recommendation.
 You can have this kind of recOm- mendation by coming to the Citizens Bank and opening an account. One dollar will do to start and you car add more whenever you have it.

Uitimatum.

PARIS. Jan. 9.-Premier BRAND re-
attended the conference of representa-
tives OF the Entente Allies. The attitude
of Greece, it is learned. was one of the
principal subjects considered Italy had
made certain reservations hitherto, but
according to the Petit Pdrisien she ac-
cepted the point of view of her allies af-
ter having obtained the explanations she
desired.
despatch from Athens says the ultl-
matum of the Entente Powers, after
making the demands on Greece gives
Greece guarantees against any extern
sion Of the revolutionary movement The
note demands, among other things, that
all Greek forces outside of Peloponnesus
be reduced to "A number strictly neces-
sary to the preservation of order; that
all meetings of reservists in Greece north
Of the Isthmus of Corinth be prohibited
that all persons detained for high trea-
son or for any other political reason be
released forthwith; that the commandant
of the First Army Corps be dismissed
and that the Greek Government make
apologies to the Allies Ministers and nav
respect to their flags at some public spot

Included in the ultimatum also was a
demand that the Greek Government
fulfil at the earliest possible moment
the agreement Of December II to with
draw all troops from Thessaly.
Besides the question of Greece the
operations on the Macedonian front and
the subject OF greater and more effective
unity in the direction of the war were
discussed at the Rome conference
"All the chiefs Of the allied Govern
ments decided to maintain the strictest
reserve as to the character and scope OF
the decisions reached" said Premier
