Cleopatra, sorceress of the Nile, a genius of smothered soul. who played
 the beauty of her body and the spark
 ling wit of her mind against the stake
 of kingdoms, was not evil. declares the Rev. Dr. James l.. Gordon, pastor of
 the fashionable First Congregational church of Washington, D, c.
 In this statement Dr. Gordon and The
 da Bara agree Mis- Bara has made an exhaustive study of Cleopatra and be- fore beginning her spectacular picture of that name made careful research to establish exactly what kind of woman Cleopatra really was Miss Bara's dee;s- ion was that Cleopatra was more sinned against than sinning."
 Cleopatra was just as good as the manhood of her generation would let her be-" Dr. Gordon told his congrega-
 ton in a sermon which he preached, while "Cleopatra," the picture, was be- ing exhibited in Washington. She was compelled to be the toy. the perfumed jeweled plaything of her men, yet be-
 fore she was through with them she had with perfect genius fought her way to what was denied her.
 fhyslcaliy perfect ana socially pfll- liant, she combined in one person all the magic circle of woman's accomplish ments. boise, conversation, mirth. music and magnetism. She was a genius and she fought with the weapons of the pagan woman, the only one granted her And within her smothered soul there was character, for no figure ever grips the pages of history and holds it tight
 as she held it unless it has character.
 'Recklessness was the key of her na- ture and of her time. She was reckles ss in life and she was reckless in death She plucked from her ear a pearl worth $25o,000 dissolved it in her wine and drank Antony's health with the precious solution She died not sadly and in the

enabled to piece out general idea of the troops confronting him.
 Although, under the new plan, rel atives will be- notified and, officials expect, publication of names of troops will find their way into local news papers. it is felt that the publica- tions will be widely scattered and that the task of assembling the names from all the newspapers of the coun- try and consolidating them into mill itary information would be such a tremendous one that. from the aspects of spy system, it is practically inn possible.
 In the smaller cities and towns it is assumed the mere mention of a soldiers name will lead to ready identification and publication with out great deal of effort, but in the great cities this is accounted we'll nigh impossible unless relatives them selves notify the newspapers as they receive telegrams from the war de- partment
 PUBLIC IS WARNED
 In promising to quickly send official notification to relatives, however, the var department is careful to warn the public that 1t must not identify mel. by their names alone because there are many similarities of names in the amy Unless mans relatives have received an official telegram concern ing him, the department says they must assume that some other man of the same name is referred to.
 It is estimated that in the forces now abroad there are hundreds of men with names quite common and many thousands with names differing only in spelling or perhaps initials It has n1rt fn nffinia 1c 1o publication of names, without further Identification marks, probably will bring apprehension and distress and that the war department and the newspapers will be besieged with de- mands for more specific information Officials, however. rely on their off cial telegrams to relatives to carr, the news to those who are first en- titled to know 1t and feel that they may pass it on to others.
 CONGRESSMEN APPREHENSIyE
 Congressmen who had a fair dem onstration of what to expect when the fate of many men was in doubt for doys when the Tuscania was torpc- doed. are apprehensive of the demandu their constituents will make upon them. Senator New of Indiana already has a resolution in the Senate calling for the war departments explanation and the subject is expected to ba taken up generally in Congress this week.
 Until some other arrangements. if any, are made, the war department plans to issue the casualty list ono. each day. and persons finding names they recognize will have to rcommu- Eicate with relatives of the man list ed to learn if it is someone else of tn. same name.

 The German invasion of Russia is in full swing. One hostile column, at least, is now meeting with some op- position. In Esthonia the Russians are holding off the invaders in front of Hamburg.
