rCted figure i'm theatrical development
for many years, will
Alice Brady present another of
in "Fhe Maid his wonderful feature
of Belgium" film plays at the Vic
toria Theater to-day
and tomorrow, entitled THE Maid of
Belgium" in which the winsome star,
Alice Brady, is featured. This picture
is without question one of the most
gripping and absorbing pictures ever
shown anywhere. AS the title indi-
Gates, the picture has to do with the
story of Belgian maid a refugee
who is brought to America by n
kindly, wealthy couple. The girl is
half crazed by the terrors she has
gone through. Her memory is gone
and when it is discovered that she is
about to become a mother she is un-
able to remember who the child's
father is. Remarkable developments
come from this situation aind the
story ends with a totally unexpected
climax.
For Wednesday and Thursday the
Victoria offers Mrs. Vernon Castle in
sylvia of the Secret Service" a now
erful and timely picture showing this
popular woman in a different sort of
role than any she has ever had.

Perhaps These
Are Cermany,s
Peace Terms

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1O.-What
purpOrted to be an outline of Ger
many's peace terms has been circu-
lated among diplomats here within
the last two weeks. but has been
regarded by the entente embassies
and most OF the neutrals as a feel
err The origin of the sO-called
terms was not disclosed, but they
are said 10 have been written by
Foreign Sec'y Won Kuhlmann before
his visit TO Vienna, which since has
been pointed 10 as strengthening the
probability that they bear evidences
OF authenticity.
Briefly, the so-called terms were:
Restoration of Belgium and north
ern France, TO he paid for out of the
sale Of Germany's colonies to Great
Britain
AlSace and Lorraine to be independ-
ent states (High French officials
recently have stated anew the de-
termination Of France to be salts
fed with nothing less than the re
covery Of her lost provinces).
Trieste 10 be "a free port"
Serbia and ROumania to he re-
stored and Serbia to have a port on
the Auriatic.
The Balkan question and the sta
tus of Turkey to be subjects for ne
gotiatiOn.
Disarmament and international
police.
Freedom Of the seas with Great
Britain i'm control of the English
channel. until the projected tunnel
is built between Dover and Calais.
This outline of terms, circulated
without definite stamp Of any official
authority. it will be noted, bears in
many respects a resemblance to the
general tenor Of the peace proposals
Of Pope Benedict.
BY some diplomats, sucn an out
line is regarded as presenting some
thing susceptible Of discussion. II
is discussed merely as a possibility,
without having yet advanced fully
into the range OF probability.
