REDS ATTACK U. s. EN- BASSY.
Ambassador Francis Met Them at the
Door With Gun in Hand.

A story Is told about Washington, CO.
Fincident with the arrival of Charles
r. Crane, who was a member OF the
American Mission to Russia at the
capital In which David r, Francis, the
American Ambassador at Petrograd,
figured as the hero OF an attack on
the American embassy by band OF
revolutionists. The ambassador was
said to have had several guests at din
ner when he was informed that the
reds" were about to swoop down on
the embassy and ransack it as they had
other houses In Petrograd.
|. Mr.. Francis told his guests Of the
impending attack and suggested that
they leave 60 as not to- run the risk OF
personal injury They demurred, but
the ambassador was insistent, and they
reluctantly departed leaving him and
his personal staff, including a negro
man servant from ST. Louis, to defend
the embassy.
When the attackers rushed in the
door they found the ambassador await
ing them, revolver in hand. Through
his interpreter ne informed the revolu-
tionists that they were invading the
property of the United States and
warned them not to attempt TO loot the
premises. The businesslike revolver in
the ambassadors hand and his deter
mined attitude had the desired effect,
and the revolutionists withdrew.

ing out Of men for military service ana
have been arousing the ire OF pacifst
parllamentarians. Certain classes OF
newspaper workers are exempted from

answer the question in detail, but he
thought the number was very small.
Whereupon a census was made by

GERMAN PAPER HATES WILSON.
Runs Gamut of Bitter Words to Show
It's Contempt.

American Expedttionary Headquar-
tiers in France, Dec. Sl.-A fair sample
Of German kultur, and another indica :
ton that Germany is turning her Writ
ers and hymns OF hate to America
for their subjects, may he found in the
following translation from the Madge-
burg Zeitung recently received from
Germany.
The vulgarism is captioned To n
gruff hlockhead--to the president of
the United States" The article reads:
1T is good fer YOU that you are
squatting behind the pond. never to
be reached by German fists YOU hypo-
critical slob, without an equal, YOU who
are boxing at US with filthy phrases.
"Contemptuous, corrupt, laughing
stock. you dare insult with impudent
lip the people which has understood
how to defend itself strongly against
You and your breed, to insult them thru
their emperor.
You are attempting 10 spread mis-
trust and deception. because in this
one point YOU were wise in your real
ization of the fact that people steel
ed in war forced upon it could alone
be conquered hv Itself. This people
that clearly realized it's mission: that
called the hero OF Fehrbellin its own;
which he Of Zorndorf and Rossbach
led; that shows such heroes for its
rulers. and whose king once LAD IN
Bismarcls hands its fate al the criti-
cal moment. This people wr,ch also
is today proudly showing its mettle in
storm YOU desire to destroy treacher-
ously.
What have you ever d1ne. YOU poor
scoundrel to dare such ;mpadence:
that you should have the audacity to
attempt such madness; thnr yon should
defame g royal race which has given
its people so many men: you whose
hands are entirely stained win blood,
who boldly govern a state according
to your own will. you who would
shrink from no line?
You are pretending TO be noble
peace angel. You wretch, we have
your number. You doubt the German
word of honor, you high pros. or the
conscious lie. You who have contrived
this sly intrigue concerned alone with
the victory of the Dad, thru whom your
people has gained such rich profit you
are not worthy to unite the strings OF
poor Germans shoes.
We do not need you and your kind
to mold the fate of our Children. There
still lives in our midst, you Vain wretch,
the high spirit o. the old man of the
Saxon wald.'

hind the pond, that you cannot be

II is now believed at Washington
that the senate hearings as to delays
in army supplies have convinced the
president that there should be a more
centralized authority over the munition
business and that he has in mind the
appointment of Daniel Willard. former
president of the b. & o. railway ana
who is now chairman Of the war IN
dustries board to be minister or
monitors after the nEglish system.
1t developed today that the president
and Secretary of War Baker have
given consideration to the munitions
problem and that Mr.. Willard and Ber-
nard NJ. Raruch. chairman of the allied
purchasing board, have been called to
the White House to discuss necessary
steps.
The administration Is determined. it
was said today, that the executive head
of the munitions board is to have real
to go to congress and ask for iegisla-
ton creating department of NUM-
tons with new cabinet portfolio Tor
the period of the war.
Under present plans Mr.. Willard
would become the head Of this depart
ment with full power to act for the
production of munitions, and the bu-
reau Of ordnance in the war depart
ment would become the agency for
supplying the munitions to the troops
in the field. The chief Of ordnance
would cease to have any connection
with the manufacture and would be-
come merely the distributing agent in
the military establishment.
1t is proposed also that the secretary
of munitions shall have about him the
present membership of the war indus
tries board, who, however, would cease
to rank equal to Mr.. Willard, but would
become lieutenants.

FAIRYLAND Is MADE
REAL In FILM PLAY
slack and the Beanstalk" At
tuned to Spirit of
Youth

Jack and the Beanstalk," perturbation
of this ancient and immortal fairy tale by
the William Fox forces with its delightful
children, its eight and half foot giant its
castle and it's walled city, built solely for
this production, which represents an outlay
Of half a million dollars will be the unique
attraction at the Arcadia next week
Though the picture is essentially for chill
dren, grown-ups are likely to let go of their
reserve toward the fairy world and mount
the beanstalk heights of the ''make-beieve"
realm with the same degree Of spellbound
interest as the youngsters.
The story has been coupled up with
modern prologue and epilogue, showing how
the two little tots. after listening to the tale
of Jack and the Beanstalk" told by their
nurse. set out to find the enchanted forest
and fall asleep in the woods. The visualiza-
tion of their dream then ensues, constitut-
ing the story proper, and later they are
awakened by the parents searching party
The prologue furnishes the spectator with
delightful comedy and there are plenty CT
smiles throughout the main story. They are
caused by the little boys and girls made up
and attired in adult fashion. They are said
to be charming young actors. Francis Car
penter and Virginia Lee Corbin play the
parts of Jack and Princes Regina, respec-
lively. Violet Radcliffe is the villainous
Prince and Carmen Fay De Rue the
bearded King of Cornwall. J. G. Tarver,
who Is said to be eight feet six inches tall,
is the giant His blCodthirsty destruction
OF the village in Cornwall is feature of
the picture. The photography was furnished
by Frank Good The directors are C. NJ.
and s. A. Franklin.
