"The Stacker" Draws Crowds.

There was deep enjoyment for all
who saw The Stacker at the New
Broadway last night. Fortunate will
be those who see it today. Since it
is so truthfully said, the description
of it from the Birmingham News is
reproduced:
Its appeal is most powerful to all
that is best in the man, the woman
and the child of the United States.
1t is the story of a fine, courageous
man. who has been reared in ease
and self indulgence. and is long cal
lous to the call of his country. He
is finally reused by superbly patri-
otic wife to a sense of his duty. The
acting of Emily Stevens in this part
is most admirable; rarely does u
woman so effectively display various
emotions of JOY and grief almost
simultaneously. All the parts, how
ever, even to that of several little
children, are we'll played. The JOY
of a German father over the entrance
of his American-born son into the
army is also choice bit. The pre-
sentation of President Wilson at the
end of the film, in a speech appealing
to patriotic service, shows his fine
profile and eloquent action to unusual
advantage. THE Columbia State.

A NEW HEJIRA

One of the first evidences of the new Orient which Is emerging out of the war is the establishment of an in- dependent kingdom in the former. vfl- ayet or province of Hejaz in Arabia. Hejaz is the most important of the eight political divisions into which Arabia is divided, by reason of it's pos session of Mecca and Medina, the holy places of Islam; and it is Fl Hussein Ibn Ali, the Grand Shereef or Ennir of Mecca and hereditary Keeper Of the Holy Places. who has become King revolt against Turkey and declaring his independence. The Grand Sher- eef of Mecca has always wielded great influence in the Moslem world. and his decision to take the side of the Allies in the present conflict has had a very important effect throughout the East.
 The Arabs were never fond of their Turkish rulers, whose administration was neither very efficient nor very just Ottoman control in Hejaz was largely maintained by the payment of an annual subsidy to the Keeper of the Holy Places. When. therefore, British diplomatic agents, on behalf of their government, guaranteed the protection of the Holy Places, Fl Illus sein Ibn Ali, as well as the Ernirs and Immans who. recognized his com manding position, decided to throw off their allegiance to Constantinople.
 The new Kingdom, it should be un- derstood, does not embrace all of Ara ,bia. which has an area of about one

GERMAN RAILWAYS.

The importance of which German
 railways have played in shifting troops back and forth from one front to another, and the remarkable ex- pediency with which these shifts have been accomplished serve to re- call the first German railway line was opened eighty-two years ago to-
 day, Nov. 21,1S35. between Nurem- burg and Furth. This line was called the Ludwig road and is less than four miles in length, but Is still in operation, and maitains it's indentity, never having been extended nor made a part of any other system. The first train cent over the line made the trip in twelve minutes, or at the rate of about mile in three minutes. The locomotive a tiny affair, was yet one of the best and speediest built up to that time. It drew five cars, and nearly a hundred people were carried as passengers on the fn- itial trip. When the German states entered upon the era of real railroad building about ten years later, all the lines were constructed with the possible needs of the military organ ization in view. This has been es- peically the case since 1870, While the railway system of Germany is far from being the best in the world from a commercial viewpoint, it has no equal as a military transportation system. It is said, however. that to-

U. s. ORDERS ALL
 WAR GOODS FOR
 RUSSIA HELD UP
Will Give No More Help Until Stable Government
 Is Established!

Washington. Nov. 21-Until the sit- nation clears in Russia and basis is afforded for calculatiofs as to the fu- ture conduct of the country in the war no further assistance from the United States in the shipment of mu- nitions and supplies can be expected The government win demand to know ntorwhose hands supplies will go be- fore2any are permitted to leave the American coast
 The cessation of shipments will not be permanef1f, provided that gov ernment the United States can recog- nize is, established in Petrograd. If the Bolshevik should gain control and follow a program aiming to make peace with Germany the embargo on shipping would remain and no sup plies would be permitted to leave the country. Protracted civil war would cause the same action
 Supplies, comprising locomotives rolling stock and munitions, are not being forwarded to Russia at present. For the present contracts made in this country by the Russian govern ment are being filled as usual, so far as actual manufactutre is concerned. but transportation stops at the sea- board
 The War Trade Board, under the embargo provision of the espionage act, can prevent the shipment of the supplies purchased by Russia by re- 1using export licenses, or where the licenses have been granted, by revok- ing them This is the procedure that probably would be followed so long as Russia remains nomina1ly an ally. Arrangement might be made for their purchase by this country or their ni- version to the other allies.
 A refusal to turn the goods over to the United States would be in con, structive violation of the embargo provision which says that "any per- son who shall deliver or attempt to deliver for export, shipment or taking out,' shall be fined not more than s10,o00; = and any article so attempted to be delivered or exported, shipped or taken out, shall be seized and forfeited to the United States"
 The Provisional Russian government was given credits amounting in all to $s25, ,000. 900, of which $191, 100000 al ready has been advanced, Much of this money has been spent for sup plies now awaiting shipment, and the Russians have been given vessels for its transport. Shipments will be held up by denial of bunker coal to the ships.
 Thomas D. Jones, vice chairman of the War Trade Board, called at tho White House yesterday and conferred with President Wilson. No statement was forthcoming, but it was believed the Russian situation was discussed.

BRITISH MUST SAVE FOOD TO
 AVOID RATIONS

London. Nov. 21.-Baron Rhonda, Food Controller, in speech in the House of Lords yesterday said he was still hopeful that compulsory ration ing could be avoided. He said, how ever, it must come unless in the ap- preaching weeks the public fully re- sponded to the appeals for voluntary rationing. The Baron sid:
 There is no fear whatever of fa- mine, but the country might, have to endure scarcity"
 The Controller said that the allies would not lose the war through sub marines He was sanguine there would be tonnage to provide the nec- essary supplies.
 The situation as regards food stocks. Baron Rhonda continued, l, was generally better than at this time last year, but the country now had to supply France and Italy. If 1t were only question of supplying Great Britain, he thought compulsory ra- tioning would be needless.

JUDGE BURPEE
 APPOINTS IVES
 D. & B. RECEIVER

Following spirited battle between attorneys for contesting interests Judge Lucien F. Burpee in the Su- per1or court sitting in Danbury yes- terday named Attorney J. Moss Ives or that city as temporary receiver of the Danbury & Bethel Street Rail- road, vice Judge James F. Walsh of Greenwich, whose confirmation was sought. Allegations of mismanage- ment on the part of s. w. c. Jones of Greenwich, former head of the road, were freely made by counsel, and it is to his influence the troubles of the road are alleged to be due. Judge R. B. DeForest representing John H. Henshaw, of New York, one of the Flinority stockholders opposed Judge Walsh.
 Judge DeForest alleged that before Jones obtained control of the Danbury & Bethel it was a paying proposition. After Jones took hold the Bridgeport & Danbury road was bought, bonds to the amount of $3O0,00O with the Danbury & Bethel as security were issued. and the credit of the road inn paired by the taking over of the debts and obligations of the Bridge port line, which is not paying pro- position, he asserted. He urged the appointment of a disinterested law yer as receiver.
 Counsel for different interests were unable to agree upon a receiver, and finally submitted a list of six names to Judge Burpee, who selected J. Moss Ives, one of the more prominent of the Danbury lawyers for the place. George Tweedy of Danbury and Fred erick Jackson of New Haven were named appraisers.
 In addition to the Henshaw inter- ests' the confirmation of Judge Walsh as receiver was opposed by the Con necticut Co.,, the New Haven Rail road and bank in Norwich, all cred itors of the street railway company.

million square miles, but only Hejaz. the size of which is between 90,00O. and 100000 square miles. But Hejaz is the most important region, both on account of it's possession of the holy places, and the fact that a greater proportion of the country is fertile. Most of Arabia's million square miles consists of uninhabitable desert, but there is plenty of good land which only need a more settled condition of affairs for the creation of thriving and prosperous communities.
 Practically the whole of the Rer-E sian Gulf littoral, all of Mesopotamia as far as north of Bagdad, the Red Sea coast of Arabia and the Sinai peninsula, representing huge area of the Mohammedan world, have been detached from the influence of the Sultan of Turkey, as the recon of the plan to swing the weight of Islam against the Allies. The establishment of the Kingdom of Hejaz is the first definite political change which marks this great reversal of fortune in the drama of world conflict on the East ern stage.-The Christian Herald.

GERMANS MUST LEAVE CAPITAL
 BEFORE DEC. 1

Washington, Nov. .21IToday is the last that natives of Germany who have not obtained their final naturalization papers and who have come to Wash ington since war was declared on April may remain in this city. Germans whose residence here antedates the war declaration will have until Dec Is to pack up their goods and go away.
 After midnight tonight every Ger man remaining here against these or ders will be arrested and held for in- ternmept. Every German leaving to- day and Germans leaving Washington between now and Dec. 15 must re- port to the authorities where they are going and must report also to the fed eral marshal of the district to which they go.
 Police instructions today directed that ignorance of the presidents pro- clamation will be no excuse for an alien enemy to delay complying with 1t. There was a rush today of un- naturalized Germans to the courts for information as to their status. Those who had taken out their first papers but had not completed the naturaliza- tion process have to quit Washington the same as those who have taken no steps at all. About 300 Germans. mostly walters and mechanics, left yesterday and the exodus continued today.

ROME LEADS IN MODERN HOUSING
 FOR INHABITANTS
British Architects Study Model Dwellings Erected
 For Working People.

London, Nov. 21.-British architects and town-planning experts, who are making plans for great remodelling of British cities after, the war, de- clare that one of the most successful experiments in new types of indus trial and urban housing is that which has been made by the Italian Good Dwellings society in Rome. The idea of adopting something similar in Eng land has been proposed.
 The Italian society,"" says a report on the Rome experiment, "has erected block of working-class Mats con taining 800 dwellings, designed for all types and sizes of families The flats are built, on four sides of a square, with a garden in the center, in which the 2tChildren's House stands by it. self
 You enter the quadrangle by a great gateway. To the left is a room for storing baby-carriages and bicy- cles. To the right is the porter's of flee, the postoffice and telephones for general use. Inside, nearest the gate, are flower beds and an open space for the pleasure of everyone. Beyond are the children's gardens, then the little low building called the Chill dren's House, a charming place, white. with great windows that stand open to the air, and covered with rambler roses. Here is the nursery school for children under seven. Another big room in the Children's House is the After School were the children over seven do their home lessons on re- turning from school, under supervis- ion and in conditions that they could not possibly find in their own homes.
 "'The After School the nursery school, and the cloak-rooms occupy the whole of the front of the Chil- drens House. On the other side, there, is group of rooms whose use in com mon to the whole establishment. There is a large common room for the wo- men, fitted with electric sewing ma chimes and electric irons, which can be used on payment of a small sum. Here also are great cutting tables and sewing tables, such as women know to be invaluable in sewing work but which are impossible in small homes. A common wash house and laundry is in the basement of the building.
 seT his central ba1lding also. contains a surgery where a doctor is in at tendance at stated times and any ten- ant may have free advice. If tenants need attention in their own apart ments, there is fee of 20 cents. Twice a week the doctor examines all the school children.
 '"The buildings are equipped with numerous bathrooms, but hot water is obtainable only at stated times.
 "sThe flats are of various sizes. Overcrowding is forbidden, and fam lilies must move into larger flats as their numbers increase. The largest flats are designed to accommodate tho parents and five children. Tenants who rise above a certain standard in the care of their dwellings receive a percentage of their rent back in an annual bonus"
