One day Charlie decided to use the
bird in a scene, so IT was moved over
from the perch to the set where the
comedian was working. Everything
proceeded smoothly when the two
camera men heard the word Camera
and started to take the picture.
Quoth Charlie: whats the idea,
cranking in the middle Of my re-
hearsal?"
Replied the camera men in chorus
"Mr. Chaplin, you said Camera
II never said a word" said Charlie.
We'll rehearse again."
Finally everything was rehearsed to
the satisfaction Of the comedian, who
ordered the men to start the film. The
camera men started cranking, and
right in the midst of an important
scene the word cut" rang out
sharply OF course it was the parrot
but both cameras ceased working.
The air was hazy with sulphurous
words. sgd regained consciousness

Neil Mcmillan, Jr, head of the con-
struction department of the council,
says that other patients who are COM

Of pictures is produced by means Of

These uses of the moving picture do
not interfere with its regular projection

Some index of the popularity of q
film may be cleaned from the reports

a very good idea and should prove OF

hardly too much to hazard the guess
that the large number OF war films

This thing OF interviewing Aim stars
Is evidently pleasant job, especially
when both OF the persons concerned

certain pleasantries are exchanged on

Huns Attempt
to Raid Paris
Is ThUdrfed

Paris, May 22.-German aviators
made an Intellectual attempt last
night to raid Paris. Three persons
were killed and several wounded in
the outskirts of the city but none of
the raiders reached Paris itself. A
German aiTplane was hit by an
anti-aircraft gun and fell in flames
north of the city.
The enemy dropped bombs on va
riOus suburban localities. Some
material damage is reported. The
signal that all was clear was sound
ed at l o'clock this morning. The
raid demonstrated the high state of
efficiency to which the aerial de-
fenses of the city have been
brought. 1t was a clear and wind
les night with a brilliant moon,
ideal for an aerial attack. The
raiders. who were divided into two
sQuadrons, sought vainly for two
hours to find gap in the wall Of
fire with which the city was en-
compassed. The places at which
the bombs fell show that the Ger

Threatened Breach Between wilson

ton OF Substitute.

Washington, May 22-With less
than two minutes debate the
threatened breach between Presi-
dent Wilson and the senate disap-
peared today when by . viva vece
vote an acceptable substitute was
adopted in place of the Chamber
lain resolution which the president
contended was nothing less than a
proposal to constitute the military
affairs committee for a general in
vestigation into the conduct OF the
war.
The compromise pronounced ac-
ceptable TO the administration and
declared by Senator Chamberlain to
be acceptable to him, was reached
after prolonged conferences and
merely proposes that any expenses
incurred by the military committee
for investigation previously author
lied, should be paid from the con-
tingent fund of the senate 1t elm
mates entirely the proposed author
ity for a subcommittee to sit dur
ing the recess of congress.
BY the adoption of the substit S'e
a vote on the original Cham berlain
resolution was avoided entirely.
President Wilson plainly told
senators he considered such vote
practically a question Of vote OF

tute a committee on the conduct Of
