TONIGHT ONLY
LENORE
ULRICH
''TheRoad to Love-

The romance and lore Of the Orient,
with it's mystery and fascination are ir-
resistibly woven into "The Road to
Love- the Oliver Morosco photoplay in
which Lenore Ulrich, the popular stage
and screen star, appears in the role Of
HASA, the daughter Of an Arabian
chief who loves a young American
against the wishes Of her father. Her
love is reciprocated, but her sweetheart
is captured by her own father and sent
away to be sold as slave. Tho I'M
folding of the story displays many dra-
matte situations, in which Miss Ulrich
is called upon to put forth her best
histrionic efforts. Very artistic effects
have been secured in tine elaborate set
tings Of the story, notably a. beautiful
sunset desert scene. which is the back
ground for one of the most stirring in
cidents in this unusual Paramount Pic
ture.

narrowing the territory through which
the Turks must escape, If they escape
at all. Under any circumstances. their
future operations viii be greatly hindered.
and it safely may be stated that in
stead of Independent Turkish armies
being forced to retreat. the whole gen.
eral scheme of Turkish movement has
been sadly demoralized. Turks seem to
be able to offer no effective resistance.
as evidenced by their one chief offensive
effort since the movement Of the British
got under way up the Tigris. Two
Turkish armies set out during the week
from Shaft Ef- Adhaim and Dely Abbas
to envelop the British forces. They strove
diligently to turn the British tide Of ad-
vance but failed dismally. and, after two
distinct actions, both Turkish armies were
compelled to fee to avoid complete de-
Struction.
Just what the near east holds for all
helligerents is, of course. conjecture, but
there is every reason to believe the
Turkish military sun has set in this
region, and that the Russian and British
armies will continue their successes.
AS has been stated by eminent military
critics the future successes of the Brit
ish and the Russians depends in a large
measure upon the ability of England and
Russia to maintain adequate communica-
ton lines. Inasmuch as the British have
the great stores of India to draw upon
it is very likely that Gen. Maude will
have but little difficulty in continuing his

against the Russians would be delayed
owing to the spring thaws. the Teu-
tonic armies are hammering at the
Slavs not without some degree of sue
cess.
The chief attacks have been deliv-
cred against the Russians in the re-
gions of Riga and Dvinsk. and it is
not at all improbable that weather
conditions in these regions remain
auspicious for military activity. How
long this will be so is matter OF
speculation. The Germans are declared
to have penetrated several Russian
positions. The Russians claim to have
regained many OF the lost trenches.
but no attempt is made to minimize
the generally dangerous position on
the northern section OF the eastern
front where the Germans are declared
to have assembled great stores of mu-
nitions and immense numbers of rein
forcements.
The German activities. however. have
not been confined solely to the Riga
section. for they have participated in
successful actions at Baranovitchi. in
the Stokhod river regions. where they
claim to have captured 5000 Russian
prisoners. and in the regions along the
Rumanian front where heights have
been captured.
Owing to the present internal con-
ditions in Russia the Germans may
consider the present time opportune
for offensive endeavor on the eastern
front, particularly in view of the Teu-
tonic belief that success might force
the new Russian government to capt.
ulate.

expected to have great weight among the
German people.
The Teutonic press has seen fit to fout
Americans and American endeavor. But
among other nations it is believed the
means adopted by President Wilson to
differentiate between the government and
the people will emphasize to the German
people the defects Of their present system
of government and hasten the day of re-
form. if In fact the whole monarchial
scheme is not overthrown and a truly
democratic form of government estab-
fished.
Germany possibly today is more con-
cerned about internal conditions and the
ability to keep welded the ranks of the
quadruple alliance until all aims have
been achieved or her armies sent down to
complete military defeat than any course
that may be pursued by this country.
Because OF the growing unrest 1t is a
question whether the military successes
of the entente group of nations will force
German capitulation or whether internal
conditions will in themselves compel the
present government to lay down arms that
it may perpetuate itself. even in small
degree, in its present form.
