Citizens of Troy Greet
 Gen. Wood in Passing

Troy. June 15.-(Special.)--A crowd of more than 800 people greeted Maj Gen Leonard A. Wood Thursday morning at the union station as he passed through here on his way to Montgomery from Charleston. He had been invited by May or Folmar by wire to make a short talk here and most graciously responded, al though his remarks were more of a con versational nature than lectural. His first question was how the registration had come out here and he was told that there were no slackers here and seemed great ly pleased. He stated that he had mo- ticed splendid crops along the line in this section and was glad to see the people doing their duty in that line When asked what he thought about the war he said: This Is to be & long war and million and half more men over the sea soldiers will go and we hope the old southern yell on the battle line will have a most inspiring effect It will be the first of September before the first draft ed men are called to service and will probably take a year to train them well. :" He was given great ovation here.

German Papers Continue to Comment on Wilson's
 Note to Russian People

Berlin, June 15.-Cvia London)-The continue to comment on President wilson's note to Russia. The Tages Zeitung says
 "The text of this note appears to have been formulated in collaboration with MT. Balfour Cthe British foreign secre- tary). Tn it's various terms it reminds one strongly of the communication the Englishman addressed to Washington last winter elucidating the central powers note to neutrals. We welcome this note because we hope it will destroy several illusions in Germany respecting the Unit ed States and put an end to the fable a about the 'cloistered solitude and schol- arly nature of President Wilson, as well as shattered impressions of his alleged idealism. resilient Wilson's policies aim at nothing more or less than an achievement which would mean domin- ion of Anglo-Saxon capitalism. The ae- complishment of this purpose would be all event of graver consequences than all the issues of annexation or no annexa- tfon The Russians undoubtedly already are experiencing the effects of this Anglo Saxon capitalism.

Believing himself too old for the young and gay-hearted Diane he does not tell her of his love, but allows her to marry the Viscount D'Arcourt, a reckless, ne err do-well, a good for nothing gambler. The inevitable happens; the viscount neglects his young wife for another wom- an, and as is often the case, the worm turns and the pretty neglected wife be- gins irritation; her victim is the hand

 to let her go, The next day she returns
 home. Her husband and the marquis have a duel and the husband dies. The marquis leaves Paris and she returns to America. While in South America the marquis res cues the explorer who is lost in the wlds of the jungle. They return to Amer
 ica together The explorer marries Diane, of course and the marquis returns to
 Paris to clear Diane's name. The story is intensely nterestng-just as the book was-and the actors in the photoplay are well suited to the various
 parts and are quite satisfactory in their respective roles.

 Margaret Ellington in Basil Kings story,

 the screen by the way, and she registered 100 per cent fine; as "cinemized" prod uct, I pronounce her very excellent. Of course, somebody will say. no doubt,

 Margaret Ellington is an emotional ac- | tress of a very high order she under stands the art of repression and, better
 still, she uses her knowledge of what pleases on the stage, in her film work;
 she is good looking and while those who were Margaret Ellington fans of the legit-
 innate stage miss her beautiful voice, still 1 there is her wonderful expression and her grace and her talent, all of which are
 paramount to the music of her tones. ! Margaret Ellington, as all potentially
 great actresses should be, is temperament
 tai to decided degree; this she controls with perfect ease, however, and the com pima tion of temperamental fireworks and repressed emotion makes her an ideal screen star
 l It was a difficult task, no doubt, to
 make film version of Basil Kings story, The Inner Shrne,'' for although it had an immense vogue and was tremendously popular at the time it came out, it is the
 kind of story which is hard to reproduce,
 because of it's intricacies. The authors Of l the screen play, however. Beatrice De- 1 Mile and Leighton Osmun, have followed
 the story rather closely and evolved some very gripping and thrilling scenes from it. l The story is laid in France and Amer l ica and if you recall Diane Winthrop | (played by Margaret Illington) is the ward of Derek Pruyn CIobart Bosworth) an ex- plorer who is very much in love with her.

IS BABY TO CUT HIS TEETH

That Problem is Worrying Champ Clark's Daughter Who Afraid the spendor of the Plate Presented Young Mir Thomson By the House of Representatives Might
 Make Him Undemocratic
By ZOE RECKLEx

 There spoke the true daughter of the characterful speaker of the House. For you will remember that as Miss Clark she declined to plunge into the social life of the national capital, prefering sui frage campaigns, a study of problems po- Htical. and a definite aim to succeed in life by her own efforts.
 A RECOGNIZED CHAMPION
 To prove she was a real daughter of democracy, sne even got jon as corre- spondent for a New York newspaper and held it down with honors, plus a pleasant bank balance Miss Clark sold articles to magazines, who paid her real money for her ideas, not for her name. And she will sell mOre-just as soon as Champ Clark Thomson will please wait a little longer between meals.
 Which brings us to Baby Champ him self, who now enters, all rosy and goo gley -wookley, smiling gayly to all the world with a democratic disclosure Of utterly toothless gums.

 He looks the living image of his daddy, Jim" Thomson, even to his orange colored hair. But he has the hand of his grandpop, with the same long, pur- poseful thumb joint that has aided in many a political decision
