Are you prepared-to face your wife. if by chance you should lose her costly necklace? Through his attraction for the opposite sex, one man happened to be in this predicament. but-he was prepared! He had a duplicate, which he deftly presented to his wife in the pla ce of the twenty thousand- dollar original. However, he had intended to regain the missing jewels, but even with the aid of the Partisan Gendarmes he was un- able to trace the chorus girl, to whom he had given the invaluable pearls, in stead of the imitation. So long as his spouse was ignorant of the deception, this unfortunate gentleman was safe from her wrath. But safety first' is not safety last. and in time hubby is confronted with the truth This enjoy able farce-comedy, '"The Smugglers, D produced by the Famous Players, with the popular American comedian Donald Brian in the leading role of John Battle by Watts, was directed by the able pro- ducer Sidney Olcott and appears at the Dream tonight for the balance of the week.

Lack of Llamas Delays a Picture.

Consternation reigns among Director William Wolberts players, chief of whom are Mary Anderson and Alfred Vosburgh. Said players are ready, even anxious. to get back to work after a vacation of almost two weeks. Direc- tor Wolbert claims he is ''itching to shoot again." and Studio Manager w. s. Smith. who manages Western Vita graph affairs. is perhaps most anxious of all that the Wolbert company re- sume activities.
 But-the story upon which they were supposed to begin work is one of Pe- ruvian location. and the research de- pertinent is having no end of trouble fin getting together the various articles and objects that will lend a Peruvian atmosphere to California settings.
 First the question of how to get llamas cause disquietude. And how indeed could a Peruvian setting be Pe- ruvian without llamas? The research department did not know. Therefore, it went forth in search of llamas and discovered that there are only about twenty seven llamas in the United States. Six of these happen to be in the Selig zoo studio. Strictest of all rules at the studio. however, Is that no outside use whatsoever be made of the llamas.
 The sending of several wires, over influential signatures. however. is ex- pected to cause this ruling to be re- voked in the interests of the Vitagraph Company and Peru. So, until the East ern office receives from it's Western studio wire to the effect: We have seen the llamas and they are ours." it can picture the Wolbert feature com pany idle and llamas-less.

Babies Draw We'll at the Palace.

The Palace was well filled last night to see the baby pictures taken in Ju- neau The pictures were satisfactory and were enjoyed by the mothers who went to see their own and their neigh bors. It is to be hoped that no baby contest will result as nothing can tear a community to peices quicker than one of these obsolete stunts.
 The big movie feature was Warda Howard and Ernest Maupain in That Sort" which refers to a woman who fell. There are several dramatic cli- maxes in this Essanay which are well worked up.
 That Sort" will be given tonight for the final showngs.

Peace Writers and Those Who Cab Have No Effect Upon the Chief
 Executive.
IN WAR TO THE FINISH
Pacif|cists Have Their Last Little Says and Fold
 Their Tents and
 Hike Away.

WASHINGTON.vA ,15.-It- mpst not be taken for granted that Sena- tors and Representatives who per sist in talking about premature peace get all the inspiration from the maunderings of the pro-German element in their constituencies There are peace takers and peace writers in Washington, and propinquity helps the Congressional peace prop. uganda.
 Straight up to the present time there has been strong hope among men who wanted to help Germany, that some kind of a peace barley might be arranged between the Al lies and the Central Powers, even while hostilities are in progress.
 Great Britain, France and the other acrossthe water Allies have snubbed this proposition short dozen times. but the early peace preachers here in Washington seem to have held on to the hope that this country might be induced to get it's allies to change their minds and thereby give Germany it's chance to obtain what really would amount to peace with victory. for the Cen tral Powers.
 Will Never Yield
 There is no chance that the Presi- dent will yield in the slightest to the importuners who say that they want peace simply for the sake of peace, but who in truth want it for the sake of Germany.
 MT. Wilson is just about as obsti- nate in his determination to bring the war to right conclusion as he was in his determination to keep out of the war. He went beyond the limit of patience of thousands of Americans in an attempt to avoid war now with apparent Scotch deter imitation to set in his plant to fin ish the war right.
 In the possession of the President Is everything the Germans have put out in the shape of peace feelers. No sooner does one set of sugges- tions some from Germany to be frost ed quickly. than another set is promised. It is altogether likely that by ripe corn time the Germans will be at it again with proposi- tion to quit. providing they can hold the heavy share of the spells. Have No Fears As near as one can determine, it appears fixed beyond shaking that the administration will not yield even to a minimum degree to the importunities of those officials and non-officials. who. knowing the love of peace of the American people. are seeking to induce the govern ment toaccept peace that. at the best. would mean more power for Germany. the glueing of autocracy to the throne seat, and another war within twenty years.
 There seems to be some fear throughout the country in the ranks of right men. that the administration may yield to the plea of pacifism at home. and in Germany. and make an attempt to obtain some kind /0f Ia palaver among the nations before a righteous war is won. This fear can be whistled down the wiAds. An administration which aforetime was obstinate one way. Is now 0b- stinate another wsy.-America's way.
