DRAFT PLAN BEST
That's Version of Americans
Now in London.
Desire for ExpeditiOnary Army
Has Note of Warming.
BY ED l.. KEEN.

London, April 23.-Americans here
join with the British in the hope that
the United States will raise its army
by conScription-nOt by volunteer
draft. A careful canvass of scores of
prominent Americans here, together
With the views expressed in the Hobbies
of the house of commons, developed
this unity today.
Members of the commons are en-
thusiastic over the idea that America
send an expeditionary force at as
early a date as possible-under
Roosevelt or any other leader. They
think the effect would be splendid.
But almost without exception the
members privately expressed a strong
warning that America benefit by Eng
lands experience, and avoid the strip
ping of the nation of trained men
needed to organize and drill the pro-
posed big army.
Use Trained Officers at Home.
I'VE welcome the proposal of an
American expeditionary army" said
General Page Croft, NJ. p. to the
United Press. But we realize if the
United States builds up a great army,
trained soldiers will be needed to Gre
ate the machinery. Therefore we do
not advocate pressing the United
States to send a strong expeditionary
force unless we are convinced she has
a sufficient number of professional
soldiers to train that army.
II the u n1ted states Is building new
divisions at once, such troops-if they
are trained by professional soldiers
should be ready to leave for France
by the end of July-in time for the
last two months of the summer often
siVe operations. But it is necessary
America should avoid the difficulties
England experienced in not having
trained soldiers at home for drilling"
Volunteer System Failed in England.
Among Americans here the princi-
pal subject of talk is the congressional
action providing for the raising of
Americas army. 1t was generally
suggested that Lloyd George had the
failure of the British volunteer sys-
tenn in mind when he urged in his re-
cent speech that America profit by
England'S mistakes.
Any one who lives in London these
days feels the universally favorable
impression created by President Will
sons utterances, but realizes the dis
tinct feeling here that the best tangi-
BILE evidence of Americas sincerity
would be the dispatch of division
or at least a brigade-of Americans to
the front as soon as possible. The
greatest emphasis is laid here on the
moral effect the Stars and Stripes
would have at the front on the allied
troops.

North Side News

The Second Presbyterian church Of
North Topeka has completed an excep-
tlonally prosperous year. The institu-
ton is out of debt and financially, con-
slderlng its size, sounder than almost
any church in the city Sunday morn
ing the church voted that a commit
tee be appointed to investigate, and
report on the approximate cost of u
parsonage for the pastor and his fam
lily. If the committee report is favor
able, the proba bilities are that the
church will buy q home or build one
in the neighborhood of the church to
serve as a parsonage. No final action
on the matter has yet been taken,
however.
North Topeka druggists report that
the cost of drugs will probably not
keep pace with the skyward trend of
other necessities. They assert that
there will be no substantial change in
the local drug market. If anything
the rates will go down rather than up.
I'VE are getting nothing from Ger
many at the present time, and so we
can't get any less by having declared
war;" one druggist said. ."On the
other hand, America is rapidly learn
ing that she can manufacture medi-
cines, and extract drugs from raw ma
terials as well as the Germans So the
prices may go down. They won't go
up"

FAREWELL TONIGHT

Tonight will mark the closing of the
phenomenally successful run of the
photoplay sensation of the age, 1.-The
Daughter Of the Gods" at Fox's, and
it is safe to say that by tomorrow
morning there will not be a single
lover of the beautiful in New Britain
who will not have seen the star whose
name has been on everybody's tongue
since long before it opened here 1t
is not only the greatest picture that
was ever presented at Fox's-it is the
greatest picture that was ever made,
absolutely without exception. It SIM
ply takes ones breath away with it's
startling extravaganza, it's sumptuous
magnificence, and it's ethereal, fan
tastic beauty. 1t is said the total cost
cost of producing the picture was over
million dollars, and it shows every
cent of it. Twenty-one thousand peo-
pie were engaged in the making of it,
besides the cameramen, mechanics,
artists, ETC., and, as a consequence
the spectacular scenes are unsurpass-
able. A better star than Annette KEEL
leTmAn could not have been selected
for "a Daughter Of the Gods" both
by reason of her physical perfection
ana her almost uncanny familiarity
with the water. Her swimming and
diving are certainly worth seeing. The
show will be run continuously today,
and. besides the feature, there will be
shown 1.-THE Warning on the Wire"
which is the title of the ninth ept-
Node OF the "Seven Pearls; Mutt and
JEFF in "A Chemical Catastrophe" and
the latest issue Of Pathe News.
For tomorrow nights show there
has been engaged Ethel Barrym ores
greatest dve-part success, "Life's
whirlpool" a big Metro hit Of I'M
usual strength. Many short subjects
OF a comic and entertaining nature
will complete the program.
A big double feature show has been
arranged for Monday and Tuesday in
which Franklin Farnum, who Is a
credit to his brothers, Dustin and
William, will be seen in gripping
puzzle-p1cture, "rhe Winged Mys-
terry" and Charlie Chaplin will APP
pear in the greatest six-part comedy
ever made. TITLES Punctured Ro-
NANCE" assisted by Mabel Normand
and Marie Dressler, who is known as
the female Charlie Chaplin OF the
screen.
In order to maintain the high-class
standard Of entertainment which has
been established, it has been found ne
cessary to make a slight increase In
admission which will go into effect
Monday.

SIDE TALKS
The New Christmas
By RUIN CAMERON

A letter friend has written me in
regard to nv suggestion that we make
this Christmas really Christmas in
stead of just a grand present-and-
turkey and-ice-cream-da Christ
mas when we cease the exchange OF
luxurious gifts among ourselves and
give to those who need. she says
that she cannot bear to cut out CIV
ing gifts to the family because there
is married sister and a tather and
mother to whom her gifts nave always
meant much. She herself is working
and has more spending money than
they.
That's the Right Kind of Living.
Bless your heart, that is just the
kind. of giving that really spells Christ
mas. Cut it out? Heavens no. There
isn't anv reason that you should give
to those outsiders who lack. and not
give to those you love the best. That
would certainly be leaning over back
wards toward a totally wrong con-
ception of Christmas.
What One Family Is Going to Do
Let me describe what one family I
know is going to do and perhaps you
will understand better what I mean
by the new Christmas. This family
consists of several married brothers
and sisters all comfortably well to do.
Every year the brothers and sisters,
and brothers-in-law and sisters-in-
law have exchanged beautiful gifts.
AS is inevitably the case. their expen-
ditures have gradually grown more
lavish year by year until they mount
ed up to a truly appalling sum. And
this year they have called a halt.
They will cease to give to each other
entirely They will go on giving gifts
(imited in value to half a dollar) to
