KEEPING THE CITY ANCIENT
%Rothenbura, Germany, Requires That
New Buildings Shall Be Built
In Old style.

There is less sameness, more per-
~sOnality, to be found among the differ
ent cities of the German empire than
In any other great modern state.
Often you can travel a few miles from
one city to another and II is as If from
one city to another and it is as If you
had crossed an international boundary
and stepped into n new land. This
fact is due in large part to the fact
that German unity came so late. Many
Of these same little cities were indie
pendent and autonomous for as many
centuries as they have been parts Of
the German empire for decades. They
have built up a tiny nationalism pc
culiar to themselves, %flavOring their
Germanism with a spice that is all
their own.
Such a city above all others is Roth
enburg, little red Rothenburg, with its
trim walls and towers, its air Of an
cient sleepiness carefully preserved, its
10000 good burghers, who are ROthen-
burgers before all else, says the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine. Almost
every German cherlshes a friendly af-
lection for Rothenburg; it is such a
homely, comfortable place, with a
n~eatness and a miniature tessellated
beauty that it is dear to the German
heart.
Rothenburg IS a city almost every
house of which is quaint and interest
ing. Most of the houses are centuries
old, and when n has TO he replaced
municipal regulations ordain that 1t
shall be replaced with IN that Is built
In ancient style, and blends harmOnl-
ously with the whole. The fine dlsci-
pline the burghers of Rothenburg
lay upon themselves out of their own
artistic sense of the fitness Of things,
rather than as a bait for the tourists,
for as a matter of fact, few tourists
visit Rothenburg.

Russia fighting tyranny and America
standing as the Oldest democracy
hand in hand will show the way of
happiness to nations great and small"
These ringing words. expressing the
attitude of the Russian government
toward America and the American
mission headed by Elihu Root, were
voiced by NJ. Tereschtenko, minister
of foreign affairs, responding for the
Council Of Ministers to Mr.. Roots ad-
dress of sympathy and good will on
the part of the American government.

r. Francis, presented the Root mis-
sion to the ministers in Marinsky pal
ace, explaining that the members Of
the mission had come to Russia to
discover how America can best co.
operate with its ally in forwarding the
fight against the common enemy.

attention to Mr.. Roots address, which
was an impressive utterance both in
substance and manner
M, Tereschtenko rose from a sick
bed to attend the presentation. He
said that Russia's revolution was
based on theNwonderful words uttered
by America in 1776. He read part OF
the declaration of independence and
exclaimed: Russia holds with the
United States that all men are Great
ed free and equal"
Russia now faces two problems, said
the minister, the necessity of creating
a strong democratic force within its
boundaries and the fighting of an ex-
ternal foe. Then he declared for war
and expressed unbounded confidence
in the power of Russia to meet the
situation.

EVEN THE DIRECTOR
WEPT-SO IT'S SAID

What is believed by the Ince
players to have been the most pa
thetic scene ever staged within the
mammoth new plant at Culver City
was made recently for the produc-
ton of 1.-THE Sin Ye Do" the Tri-
angle-Kay Bee play by John Lynch,
in which Thomas H. Ince presents
Frank keenan, as star. It was one Of
the big courtroom scenes, in which
keenan, Is Barrett Steele, q noted
criminal lawyer, pleads for the life
Of his murderess daughter, q mere
slip Of girl, who has slain man in
defense of her honor.
A crowd Of several hundred per-
sons was employed in the massive
setting, and at . word from Direc-
tor Walter Edwards all eyes were
riveted upon keenan, and the girl,
played by Margery Wilson. Then
keenan, began a brilliant summing
up of the "case." As he swayed the
Jurors" with his eloquence, tears
welled up in their eyes, and the
feeling of sorrow and sympathy
slowly spread to the spectators.
Presently Miss Wilson herself broke
into sobs and gave vent to what ap-
peared to be genuine grief And, to
cap the climax, Director Edwards,
it is asserted, allowed briny tear
two to escape from his eyes and
course down his cheeks.
This wonderful feature will l.
shown at the Arcade Saturday.
