sume control of the house with a big preparedness debt facing them greet the bipartisan plan heartily They 'in sist that in such unusual times as at the present it would be only fair for both parties to share equally the bur den of meeting a debt that was con tracted on the insistence of both parties.
 Discussion of bipartisan plans to be put forward in an emergency does not mean. however, that the majority of either party is preparing to desert its fight for control of the house. Each side is hopeful that majority or all of the five independents will be con- verted to it's cause

BRITISH MAKE GAINS
 AND GERMANS REPORT
 REFUSE OF RUSSIANS
Republican A. p. Leased wlcel

The Associated Press summarizes operations of yesterday in connection with the European war as follows:
 Fighting continues on various sec tors of the Somme and Ancre fronts in France. North and south of the Ancre, the London war office reports, the British have made additional gains, in the former region north of Puisieux au Mont and in the latter northwest of Irles.
 East of Bouchavesnes, in the Som me sector. the British report the raid- ing of German trench and the scattering of German forces who were massing for counter attack. Berlin On the other hand, reports the repulse of British attack east of Bouchavesnes which was delivered after heavy artillery preparations. It is probable that the German official communication refers to an engage ment on Monday, waile the British communication specifically mentions early Tuesday morning as the time of the successful raid.
 Near Nerdun between Les Cham brettes and BezonVauX. violent artil- lery ddels are in progress. Attempts ny the Germans to evict the French from re-captured positions north of Caurieres wood failed. according 10 Paris

 Further progress for the Russians in the Persian theater is recorded by Petrograd. The villages of Hussen- abad and Chariak have been evacuat- ed by the Turks who are in retreat from Rijar. Southwest from Ham, afan the Russians have attacked the Turks who are holding a strategetic summit
 There is still no change in the sit uation in the Austro- Italian and Macedonian theater. where artilIerv duels ard small infantry attacks con tnue.
 Austria's reply to the United States governments request for information as to Austria's stand with regard to unrestricted submarine warfare has been received through unofficial sources. White the note says that Austria strictly adheres to the as surance already given" and that the Austro- Hungarian government "is essentially in accord with the Amer ican government with regard to tho nrrteotipn of neutrals against en . danGerirg their lives il asserts that re'itrais will have to bear all losses they suffer by entering territory where operations are taking place.

Small Towns and the Movies.

Small towns have to take what they
can get in the line of amusement. In the
moving picture department of the Feb
ruary Woman's Home Companion an ar
ticle about the movies says:
Living in a small town has one dis
advantage that no one can deny; city
people can select the kind and form Of
entertainment that suits their fancy
musical comedy, opera, farce, melodrama,
concert, ten-reel photoplay spectacle, or
vaudeville. Small town people have to
take what they can get, usually the mo-
ton picture show, and in some towns
there is not much choice even in that.
"Now the desire to select is just as
strong whether the town is 5000 or So
900. And the varieties of taste are Just
as many. Moreover, small towns them
selves show wide divergence in the de-
gree to which they object to certain ele-
ments in films, to say nothing of COM
edies. For example, a girl shown on the
screen in e-piece bathing suit will
often seem shocking to the audience in an
inland town, whereas a town with a
bathing beach will see nothing objection
able. 1t is all in the point of view"

An Irish Play Monday Evening.

Al II. Wilson and his company will
present the new Irish song play, "My
Killarney Rose" at the opera house ON
Monday night, Feb. 5.
This new Wilson offering is the prod
uct of Herbert Hall Winslow, who has
provided captivating story with an
Irish atmosphere embodying absorbing
episodes that are novel, varied and pic
turesque. In this new offering, the mu-
steal program is particularly attractive,
embodying a varied assortment in melo-
dies that run from grave to gay--yet all
possessing qualities that delight the
senses and enthrall the listeners. The
titles are "My Killarney Rose" "The
Love / Gave to YOU" ".Where the Sham
rock Grows" MARY Houlihan," and "The
Yedel That Stole My Girl Away"
The scenes of the play are laid in Ire
land in the year 1900, near Killarney and
in the city of Dublin. The plot deals
with the adventures of Tom Carey (Mr.
Wilson, and his many merry mishaps.
The interest is cumulative from the start
to the finish, punctuated with comedy
that makes it doubly enjoyable.
