GOVERNMENT CALLS FOR
 RECRUITS FOR THE ARMY.
Circular Letter Sent Asking Influence
 of Individuals and Societies.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The war de- partment today called upon individual citizens patriotic societies and organ izations, many of which have offered their services since the break of rela- tionS with Germany, to hep get re- cruits for the army.
 It is the first step of the kind ever taken by the government in time of peace. army officers say, and it is re- garded asa forcible illustration of the need the army feels for more men.
 A circular letter sent out today IS introduced with a statement that those who are interested in prepared ness ''can render no more effective ser vice at present than by using their utmost influence to recruit the regular army to the strength authorized by law"
 Two plans are specified by which the assistance can be rendered The first is "by encouraging the qualified men to enlist at once,'' and the second sug gesLS that information be given to the nearest recruiting officer for the army as to the names and addresses of qualified men who are likely to enlist.
 All the regiments need from 200 to 400 additional men.
 The navy department has also asked assistance from citizens and organiza- tions in recruiting work. Rear Ad- niral Palmer. in charge of recruiting work. said today that the navy league campaign and other similar bodies were being interested in the work. More than 1,40o recruits were enlisted by the navy last month and indications are that a new record will be made in February.

people can be equally as lonesome as life at a deserted station. Though deserving of the greatest happiness, this young girls life seems to be fated to be an exceptionally lonely and trying one. She craves the innocent pleasure and companions to which she has been accustomed As for her husband. he is perfectly contented with his narrow life and cannot understand her attitude-even resenting her longing for other com panionship.
 Many men are equally thoughtless of their wives. They seem to forget that it is not the most enjoyable sem sa ton imaginable to continually be company for oneself.
 Another feature which VIII amuse the entire audience is the two-reel comedy, Chased Into Love. which fea- lures Hank Mann. and as implied by the title a remarkable chase takes place in which his speed is so great that he passes a bird in full flight and a racing automobile.
 Saturday will be gala day here as the management will put on four shows and the matinee performances will be especially for children when the admission will be for them but five cents The shows will be run off at 1.30. 3.15, and S.45.
 With this program, special con cert program has been arranged by Glen Phillips orchestra an1 all Of the pictures will be closely followed by this famous orchestra

New York, Feb. 15.-Leaving further examination of brokers statements as
 to their dealings for customers on the stock exchange during December to a sub- committee of three, the congress sional committee investigating the leak on President Wilson's peace note today adjourned it's public hear ings and most of the members return ed to Washington tonight. This action came after 8 statement by the commit tees counsel, Sherman l..

Very Good Eddie at the Davis Tonight

Very Good Eddie at the Davis Tonight
 The enterprise which has just run for over an entire year at the Prin- cess theatre New York. and which the Marbury -Comstock company has christened Very Good Eddie, has many qualities which are not to be fount elsewhere, as will be discovered when that merry little diversion Is seen at the Davis theatre Friday night. Feb. 15
 Any unique quality Is Of the same inestimable value to a theatrical pro- auction that it is to can opener. It is a case of must-and take it from those who know, Very Good Eddie possesses charms all its own. ,t
 Refinement and musical farce have come to be almost contradictory terms. Nobody ever thought the two simui- taneously. There is, however, de- gree of refinement that is possible to he the source of pleasure to that large section of the theatre-goiDs world which cannot live by Jack Wilson and Fanny Brice alone and re-use to be comforted by the artistic ministra- tons of Emma Carus or Blossom Sec
 The performance of Very Good Ed die shows. 1t is said. that a. dozen following in their facial adornment something less fambuoyant in it's col or scheme than a barber pole, may be quite as diverting to contemplate as three or bAS h0AAL1O1 PdAA11- cd in the gaudy tints of an Alaskan totem pole Then the producers of this musical play are confident that a few capable actors with enough voice to sing their lyrics legihly may. 1T they have the proper material, prove just as entertaining as hundred more or less.
 These conditions, it is claimed, ex- ist in the production of Very Coed Eddie. Mir. Rartholomae's intrigue is interesting: MT. Bolton's text is witty and there Is some admirable music from Jerome Kern. About the pro duction an air of politeness has been 6 smed for which makes this play diff I ferent fro mall similar productions l now on view. Get your tickets early. | Telephone orders held till D.

Dainty Louise Huff, who was last seen on the screen in Destiny's Toy, plays a little Quaker girl in the forth coming Paramount picture, The Re- ward of Patience, which is the feature at the Breed theatre for today and Saturday.
 The story tells of the love affairs of a little Quaker girl, Patience, whose father has chosen a youth of the Vil- Iage as a husband for her But the mans backwardness has prevented his even proposing to her when the P=nfieId, diverts her interest. She falls in love with Penfield but he is engaged and, though attracted to Pal tience, does not make love to the girl. TEe sudden death of her father leaves Patience penniIess and Penfield has his mother employ her as social Ercretary The girl is heart broken when she learns that Penfleid is en- gagged to a society girl whom she re- a!izes to be totally unworthy Of him. The wedding day is a terrible ordeal for Patience and as the time passes, the arrival Of small Psnfield still further tears at her heart-StringS as she sees the mother totally neglecting her child. Things go from bad to worse until Mrs. Penfield elopes with another man after discharging Pa tience and sending her back home pennilesS-
 Of course Penfield finds Patience in tirne but it is not until they have both suffered deep sorrows. Among those who appear in support of Miss Huff in this picture are Iottie Pick ford. John Bowers, Kate Lester and Adolph Menjou.
 The Pathe Weekly and a very fun nv Christie comedy complete the bill for today ani Saturday.
