Ar THE REPUBLIC TONIGHT

Alice Brady. the charming star, Is
coming 10 the Republic Theatre to-
night, in THE Trap" one of the
most surprising and thoroughly de-
hghtful pictures which has been seen
here in some time The production
was staged in a quaint fisher village,
and the scenes on the seashore are
among the most beautiful and inter-
es;ing ever seen on the screen.
Miss Brady appears in the role of
Doris Shaw, the daughter OF a fanati-
cal fisherman When the rough fisher
lad, who is in love with her, sees her
become interested in a stranger, he
frames up a trap whereby il appears
that she is not only indiscreet but
bad, Doris father casts her from her
home
Circumstances take Doris TO the
big city and there she experiences a
great many adventures, all of which
go to make one of the most pleasing
and entertaining sort of pictureplays.
You'll be sure to enjoy THE Trap"
SO make a definite point of attending
its presentation at the Republic to-
night.
1t is certain that no more interest
ing and unusual seashore scenes have
been filmed in a long time than are
seen in this production.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Turning
point in the battle on the west front
is being, reached, says the war de-
partment's review of the military sit
uation for the week ending April 13
published today. The Germans have
failed in their purpose to achieve vic
tory in the field, the statement con
tinues, and will soon be forced to re-
sumo their old tactics.
"We must bear in mind" the re-
view says, ''that the enemy is waging
a battle of annihilation to achieve vic
tory. He is fighting today with the
sole aim of annihilating the British
armies. Thus, terrain conquered
counts for little.
"While it must be admitted that
German operations since the begin
ming of the present offensive have re-
suited in more than a mere plough
ing up of part of the allied trench
system and the capture of local OBJ
jectives along wide front, neverthe-
less, the aim of the German higher
command to obtain a decisive strate-
gic success by these assaults has not
been attained.
Fail in Great Purpose.
"The turning point in the west is
being reached. The Germans have
scored a distinct advantage which it
would be unwise to endeavor to be-
little.
Yet they have failed in their great
purpose to achieve victory in the
field and will soon be forced to re-
sumo their old tactics seeking to gain
limited objectives, striking first at
one point, then at another in order to
render the allied position untenable
and give themselves greater secur-
ity.'

Since he was appointed foreign min

bring about peace and the moderate
tone OF his speeches has been in sharp

This call increases to more than
100000 the number of select men or.

This is far in excess of the monthly
average that would have been mobil-
lied under the original plan to call
100000 men this year over a nine
month period. Future calls at the
same rate would complete the pro-
gram before midsummer. Under Presi-

the great German drives in Flanders
