"THE MASQUE OF LlFE".
Big Film Spectacle Coming to Opera

Big Film Spectacle Coming to Opera
House Thursday Hnd Friday.
"Thc Masque Of Life" seven reel
spectacular film that comes TO the
Opera House Thursday and Friday di-
rcctly after long run on Broadway,
is a sensationaly thrilling production
that has made itself the talk Of New
York The story of the play is sim
pie romance, and unlike most big spec
tacular pictures, II is always kept in
tho foreground the hundreds of big
scenes being n setting for the acting
rather than having tho story simply
an incident to show off the spectacle.
The result is the picture that has real
power and human interest in it from
start to finish, while the suspense IS
worked up in several parts Of the pic
turc to point entirely unusual. In
the scenes whore the heroine battles
with q crazed monkey on the top Of
$50 foot chimney, the audience being
able to see the excited crowd on the
ground, invariably makes an audience
gasp, and not infrequently women
scream from the tension. This may
perhaps be carrying suspense littlo
too far for comfort, but 1t Is certainl
advisable, from thrill producing
standpoint. The producers claim that
1t cost nearly 100000 to create the
film, and this does not seem out OF
proportion to the results. Among the
leading scenes from point of bigness
are tho tremendous pantomine page
ants, where tlle entire Corps dc Bal

PLAN OF PRESIDENT I s UTOPIAN DREAM
 WASHINGTON THINKS
Consensus of Opinion Peace Address Senate That Big Brotherly Theory Which Will Not Work Out in Fact The Republicans Are Loud in Opposing What They
 Claim Is Abrogaton of the Monroe Doctrine
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, January 24.-(Special.) A big, brotherly, human theory thor ouEhly impracticable.
 That seems to be the consensus of opinion regarding the most recent and most remarkable message of President Wilson to a body of Congress.
 The partisan views naturally sharply diverge.
 From a strictly democratic viewpoint. the utterances of the President transcend in lofty ideas the declaration of inde- pendence.
 The republicans, on the other hand, view with alarm a patent. attempt to abrosate the Monroe doctrine. to hurl this Country into the European mael- stronn. and officiously to rearrange the map of another hemisphere.
 The effect in Europe. as reflected in the embassies in Washington. was cleo trical. Germany 1t seems was pleased that the President declared there must be peace without victory. Germany, It seems. concludes that the President, in addressing the Senate. was at the same time taking, sharp issue with the declara tion of the allies which just previously had said there can be no peace until the logical and natural conclusion oi the conflict.
 England. France and Russia, on the other hand, indicate that they cannot

understand, cannot conceive just how it will be possible to bring the war to close without victory as the portion of the one or the other of the belligerents; just what right the United States has to parcel out the spells, or prevent the parceling out of the spells. The en- tente, 1t is plainly indicated, desires to smile and covertly to regard the peace without victory" phrase on a parity with the "too proud to fight" declaration.
 There is no question, however, but that the President meant this:
 There can be no other world war with out entanglements which must involve the United States. The time has come when the United States must abandon it's policy of isolation-in other words. the Monroe doctrine.
 In this connection, it is interesting to recall that ex-President Taft. in recent address before the National Press club, gave expression to an almost identic thought.
 "Old rules" he said. must be and should in right be abandoned under new conditions. After the war. the United States must abandon its isolation-must. for the good it can do. step into Europe and aid in the reconstruction of that var torn hemisphere.''

It Is Feared That When Pershing's Men Withdraw That Villa Will Over

Washington, January 24-Coinci- dent with the withdrawal of General Pershing's force from Mexico an ur- gent appeal probably will be sent by the United States to Carranza to make every possible effort to protect for eigners in the district that has been occupied by American troops for the past 10 months.
 Fear is felt particularly for the safety of the many Chinese who, have been purveyors of supplies to the Americans. It was said at the state department today that if the Chinese considered themselves in danger and no objection would be made in spite of the act excluding them. They will not be given freedom to move at will in American territory, but will have the right of asylum so long as it ap- pears to be dangerous for them to re- turn to Mexico.

Such inter- ruption of traffic, if continued, will interfere materially, it Is felt, with the movement of the de facto govern ment forces that are expected to gar rison the district now held by Per. shing.
 Information reached here today that diplomatic agents of both Great Brit ain and France in Mexico had protest ed formally against the recent seizure of the metallic reserve of the national bank and the Bank of London and Mexico. The American government made representations sometime ago but new inquiry as to the facts prob ably will be made and if it is shown that any Americans were interested as stockholders or depositors a further communication may be addressed to the Carranza government
 A representative of a powerful bank ing house in New York said here to- day that the attitude taken by Car ranza toward these banks had removed any possibility that the de facto gov ernment might be able to borrow money in New York.
