"Thou Shalt Not Steal" Fox
photodrama. is appearing at the Mel.
son today and tonight, featuring Vir.
ginia Pearson. 1t is one of the best
that the beautiful Miss Pearson has
appeared in. 1t is lively detective
story and the mystery is kept well
covered until the end. Miss Pear.
sons portrayal of Mary Bruce (daugh.
ter OF a banker, is a fine piece of
work.
The story hinges on twice stolen
100000. The money was taken first
from the bank of Mary's father eric
Mayne). Mary knows who robbed
her father because she was the thief,
but Mary does not know who stole
the money from her as she left the
bank. She does know that she bit
the wrist of the man and she makes
hard search for that man.
Maryrs father had borrowed the
money from Lord Haverford John
Goldsworthy) who was one of Mary's
suitors. Mary, however, is in love
with Roger Benton (Robert ElliotD
her fathers secretary. The father
had borrowed the money from Lord
Haverford on the assumption that
Mary would marry the Lord. Mary
declines to sell herself and steals the
money only for safe keeping.
The entire mystery is solved by a
clever detective who clears the in.
nocent and puts into Jail those who
were thought quite honest

LANSDOwNE'S PROPOSAL.

lord Lansdownes peace suggestion
is attracting attention because Of
tbs position which itsauthor occupies,
or has occupied, IN English politics.
But en- its face it is incomplete and
u.conrincing and is likely to do harm

cntial elenents in England are ready
C make an inconclusive peace.
There is one fatal objection to all
such proposals as this one OF Lord
L:rsdcwnc'S and that is the one that
President Wilson emphasized IN ms
message to the Pope.
it is suggested by most American
papers that the world cannot make
arv agreement with the present Ger
mary because there is no ground for

would keep any agreement 1t might

WAR FATALITIES

many has lost one-half of its army
during the war. Fifty per cent oil
casualties is not too large a figure L"
allot to tho country that has been
absolutely unsparing of its men Il"
oder to trade human lives for cap
tnred territories. The desire for
peace among the German people Is
more intense than can we'll be imae-
med outside the country. 1t is the
cr9 of every family for relief from
the horrors of the juggernaut that
has crushed out the lives Of members
of those households.
Representative Johnson, back from
nc front, where he visited with other
congressman, says that France has
los4 in dead one and a quarter NIL
lien of men and in severely wounded
a like number out Of seven million
This makes the loss in life of the
French about one-fifth their army
The figure for Great Britain would
n,i be nearly as large in :'iew Of the
later entrance of that country into
lie war in force, and it not bein"
cc.led upon to beat back invaders OF
IT'S territory, as were the French.
The war fatalities have been ver>
severe. Yet there is nothing in the
war losses thus far except among the

TOMORROW'S LESSON.

The international Sunday school
lesson for tomorrow is timely. 1t is
taken from the book of Nehemiah-
chapter 4-and tells Of the rebuilding
Of the walls of Jerusalem after the
Babylonish captivity.
The Jews had been carried away
by Acknowledgement seventy years be-
fore Nehemiah surveyed the runs 81
jerusalem. : He was one OF the des-
cendants of Abraham who believed
and acted upon what had been writ
ten" and Nehemiah, Ezra AMI Daniel
had been looking for the return of the
CHOSEN people to their own land at
the time specified by the prophet
Jeremiah.
the Israelites were aided IN their
designs BY .Artaxerxcs, and, TO make
the story short, they were eventually
aIsconccd in the land into when
Joshua led them ceturies before.
The Wrestling Of Jerusalem from
the Turks who have held II tor
Centuries is one of the issues of the
nrcsent worldwide war and, from
present indications, tch time is draw
ire near when the cross will take the
place of the crescent which has 50
long floated over places made sacred
By holy feet.
The Zionist morement-th" cstao-
li.lment of Jewish state in the
tIaly land is projected into the i'm,
mediate scope of world politics by the
impending British conquest OF Jerusa'
lem. The day is approaching wher

Wrestling of Palestine from the grlF

SCARCITY OF SUGAR.

While passing a well-known and
lcnr-cstablished grocery store of this
city, this morning, our attention w:s
attracted By placard on the door
barring this legend: mo sugar-no.
nc. no.
;'or several weeks housekeepcrs or
Alexandria have been made anxious
over the growing scarcity OF what ls'
rccsrded as an indispensable in house
keeping. Women and children have
of late visited stores in all sections OF
the city in search of sugar. and IN
most eases been compelled to return
to their home without this commod-
:tv. In some places thew have been
told they could purchase a pound or
two provided they buy certain
quantity Of other goods. In some
cases this has been done, but small
children who have been sent from the
southeast section of the city to the
northwestern bounds with only enough
money to pay for two pounds u
sugar have been compelled to retrace
their steps sadly disappointed.
Relief is said to be in sight. as sew
cral tors Of sugar have let Cuba IN
fast steamers for this country. T..
however. will take several weeks IN
which to distribute this desidcratum
throughout the country.
Some thinking people are suggest
ing that We cut out sugar as far az
possible. and thus meet the situation.
1t is believed that the America
people consume too much of the Pre-
sl,ct of the cane, and that it would
be better were we to eliminate from
orr. menu many articles of diet III
which sugar necessarily enters.
1t is said that pr'izefighters Will

is 10 compel his subject to ignore
his former diet entirely and adopt a

Shortage is blessing in disguise.
Americans cat too much sweets. Sach
is The verdict Of Dr.. f. 4. Winslow,
curator OF the department Of publ,
health Of the American Museum Of
Natural History. "'rhe American
people arc going to learn that most

This is tlue in regard tc the re-
