BEST THEATER.

California legislators and other state officials, who have seen "The Price of Silence" the first of William Farnums super de luxe features for William Fox, to appear at the Best theater tomorrow, laud the picture as a film masterpiece.
 An unusual story of love and re- nunciation is woven into the deftly- handled child labor theme.
 It is the opinion of those who have watched the photoplay in work, or have seen the completed film, that there never has been made a more convincing plea to humanity for the factory child's right to live.
 Harry A. Chamberlain, California state senator, writes to MT. Fox that, your film has made such an impress sion upon me that I am constrained to comment upon it and to congratu- late the public in having such film offered to it.
 Never before," MT. Chamberlain continues, has motion picture grip ped my heart so strongly as did The Price of Silence.

GERMANS GRUMbLE
 AT CUT IN FOOD
Soldiers Are Now Receiving Less
 Bread Each Day

British headquarters in France,
 April 20, via London-Prisoners taken | ill the last three days tell of the spread of discontent in the German army because of reduced rations since 1 April IS. Each man formerly re- l ceived half a loaf of bread daily. Now ho has only one-third of a loaf. This reduction, coming after the Somme
 retreat. the defeat at Arras. and the beginning of the great French off, fensive, has caused much grumbling among the troops.
 A German officer captured Tuesday stated frankly that the Germans re- garded the loss of Vimy Ridge as the biggest defeat they had suffered since the war began. This officer knows the ridge thoroughly. having been sta- tioned on it all last summer, and he said he could hot understand how any troops could fail to hold 1t. In his opinion. the garrison must have been demoralized before the British attack began.
 This latter statement is thought to DC true, TOT OLner captured Germans have testified to demoralization in their ranks after several days of in- tensive British artillery fire. The Ger mans continue highly nervous all along the front, the slightest increase in the British fire calling up distress signals.
 The German infantry are getting better artillery support since the battle of Arras, as a result of the bit terly worded reports made regarding the lack of this support previously. The feeling is so intense between German infantrymen and artillery men that the British have found it necessary to separate prisoners be- longing to the two services, to prevent fighting within the cages. ~
 The new troops thrown into the western line admit that the artillery fire bewildered them. This is also true of the German troops recently transferred from the eastern to the western fronts. Prisoners from the latter forces say that they had no idea what war was actually like until re- gently, and all became much de- pressed when they say the trenches they were supposed to occupy all smashed by the British shell fire.
