FRANCIS GETS, NO INSTRUCTIONS
 ON PEACE MEET

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Is is as sumed at the state department that the reply of American Ambassador Francis to the invitation of Leon Trotzky, foreign minister of the Bol sheviki government,at participate in the peace negotiations, would be that he has no instructions from the gov ernment. No instructions have been sent to MT. Francis and it was indi- cated that none authorizing him to have anything to do with peace nego- tiations would be sent.
 The recurring suggestion in Flu rope for defacto recognition of the Bolsheviki has not been supported here and it is believed that Ambas- sador Francis will be expected to do nothing more in connection with the peace parleys than to observe developments and report them.

BEST THEATRE.

r Actual war conditions, with infant. ry and artillery action, and airplane scouting, are produced with almost scientific accuracy Tn ''For France Greater Vitagraph's Blue Ribbon fea- ture, which will be the attraction in the Best theatre today. United States regulars, national guardsmen, more than 1,5O0 of them, regularly officer ed and equipped, took part in the great picture of romance and war. When the Vitagraph directors be- gan filming the early scenes near Huntington, L. l., army officers at Forts Hamilton and Totten quickly grasped the opportunity it gave the men who were soon to depart for France for couple of weeks inten. sive training, hence their unexpected participation in the wonderful produc- tion.
 Special attention to trench con- struction and fighting was given un- der the direction of Emile Gauthier, discharged French soldier twice dec orated. and B. P. Roosevelt of the Vi- tagraph forces, recently returned returned from France, where he passed several weeks studying war strategy. Cooperating with them were many United States army off cers in all branches of the service.
 War conditions existed during the filming of the battle scenes, so far as discipline among the troops is con- cerned, and guards constantly pa- trolled the exposed sides of the "bat- tlefield," for real ammunition was used, and passing automobiles were Tn constant danger from stray bullets. Not a casualty was reported, how ever, in the two weeks in July taken up by the making of the picture.

By the time he had discovered his mis- take Marquam was a lap ahead, and remained there during the balance of the race. Marquam drove the car that Sheldon used in the first race.
 The auto races have aroused such interest that plans are already being laid for several big events, to take plac on Labor day. There will be a free-for-all and also a special race for Fords.
