ADJUSTMENTS Al LOCAL
PLAY HOUSES TONIGHT
At the Palace Friday.

"a Poor Little Rich Girl'-A pic
ture of unsurpassed audience appea.
is this latest Mary Pickford offering,
in which the fascinating star assumes
the role of Gwendolyn, the neglected
and lovethristy little heroine of Flea
Eor Gates book and play. Radically
removed from the usual Pickford type
of Characterization, this role bnirgs
cut the real genius of the star and
plants her the more firmly in the
place that popularity has accorded
Ler. Those who have been waiting for
their favorite star to appear in play
really worthy of her talents will be
highly elated over this latest Aircraft
release. In her short dresses and
c,,rls the star not only acts to per-
fection, but looks the part of the H.
year-old girl with whose experience
the film vitally concerns itself. Lit
tie Mary never appeared so petite,
SD much at home and SO alluring as
she does in "a Poor Little Rich Girl"
The story not only provides her with
chances to register the
for which she is famous,
but it gies her part of real SYM
pathy, sympathy which transcends
that of any role she has portrayed
for months.

ton and that no direct action can
be obtained, is attributable to lack Of
| confidence in either the cabinet or
council of national defense. In both
of these bodies the need for small
war council . Is recognized. Such a
council, it is argued, should consist
of about three men free from legis-
lative duties or routine, but with
authority to render final decisions as
is done by the British war council.
The prediction is freely made that
such council with real authority,
must come within thirty days.
Food Situation.
by Robert J. Bender, United Press
Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June S.-Unless
there is relief soon, the food situation
in the United States will become acute
according to government officials
pressing for action on the administra-
ton food control bill.
The threatened outbreak against
food prices is smoldering and the suf-
fering from lack Of LIES necessaries
in many of the large cities is now
chronic, they say.
Bread" Herbert Hoover, food ad-
ministrator has said, "is the fetish Of
food. Without the loaf you cannot
preserve public tranquility
1T is now a question of food control
by the government or by the gambler.
officials say.
ALREADY there is food control out
in the country" Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture Carl Vrooman declared
today.
1T is food control by the speculat-
or and gambler tempered by the
threatening club of Indictment. But
the weapon is unwieldy and made
quate."
In the face Of this situation, con-
gress is about. to tackle the food con-
troll bill which places in the hands of
President Wilson virtual dictatorship
of conservation and distribution of
food. The only real danger to the
measure lies in the senate, it is be-
lieved. The house is expected to pass
the bill by large majority after a few
days debate. Lewis, Smith, Kirby, to-
gether with other senators have con-
sistently held out against further con-
centration Of authority. That the bill
is unconstitutional will be point
raised by some.
There are no surface indications OF
a lobby maintained at Washington to
defeat the measure. The people are
apparently urging their representa-
tives here to get the bill over because

troops are holding out in strength.
No details of the fighting at this
point have yet been received at head
quarters.
Successes Of yesterday and today
make the Germans position to the
east of the Observation-Disclosures ridge
critical. The river Lys and the Com
mines canal converge there. meeting
at Commines. # the Germans sue

they will have to undertake the opera
ton under shell fire and must neces-
sari1y lose heavily.
The full advance registered by the
British is over three miles deep,
marking the complete breakage of the
famous ring around Ypres. This was
the ''Ypres salient" of 1914, where
thousands of Britain's best died in
successful stoppage of the German en-
croaching wave, or else in unavailing
attempts to advance.
1t was the recollection Of these
other days when conditions were diff.
ferent, that inspired the tommies to
their task, and led them to unbounded
rejoicing today.
I saw Obstetrics and Irish national
lists go into battle side by side and
storm the ridge positions shoulder to
shoulder. The animosities of Ireland
were submerged in the animosities
against FRITZ And today when we
came upon group Of the two fighting
Irish units, each was eager to praise
the other as deserving of the credit.
The other side of the story came
from the hordes of German prisoners
today as they were being assorted
and herded for transportation to the
rear. All were frank in expressing
their amazement and terror at the
tremendous series of mine explosions
following which Haig sent his men
forward Many declared the whole
German army in the fighting sector
thought the judgment day had ar

strong the tremors Of the ground.
That terror was plainly manifest,
British tommies said when the time
for the German counter attacks ar

feeble-more like dying kicks from a
PROSTATE enemy than blows struck
back in earnest. All were easily re-
pulsed by the Australians.

with more than fifty tons of explo-
sives. This was the record volcano of
all the countless scores that spouted

America has not awakened yet to

The price of patriotism has not. ac-

patriotism at the expense of long
