Will remain the attraction until

been seen to better advantage than
in this portrayal of a wilful, ro-
mantle Cirl. convent bred and un-
sophisticated. who fits through the
picture like sunbeam and wins
all hearts with her dainty grace
and appeal. The story is that OF a
girl with a romantic nature who
lives in convent in France and
who secretly INDUCES in harmle SIS
hirtations. She weds a student and
later. when she believes she love,
another man, an officer. whose fin"
uniform attracts her. she hegs her
husband for a divorce. He appar-
emily consents, but the romantic
wife finally realizes her error and
becomes a loving and practical
minded woman.
This comedy is essentially Gallo
in its light fantastic touches of
mirth. its champagnelike sparkle
and entire freedom from the han
dicap Of conventionality are not the
least of the numerous good quail
ties in which the pictureplay
abounds. The photography presents
number of handsome interiors,
beautiful garden views. and the
lighting effects are faultless. This

Sitahbai, his favorite, and the young
princes of both mothers. The mar

CARE FOR 1920 WOUNDED.
Monthly Record of U. S. Red Cross
Hospitals on West Front.

Within the past month alone the
twelve American Red Cross hospitals in
the western theater of war have cared
for no fewer than 1920 wounded, with
mortality remarkably low, according
to an announcement from national Red
Cross headquarters in this city.
Immediately after the Germans re-
treated over the Vesle the American
Red Cross established more than 1000
beds for wounded in hospitals on the re-
taken terrain. Two OF its hospitals of
the portable tent type moved steadily
forward to keep pace with the advance
ing allied lines. One of these, an evac-
uation hospital of 500 beds fifteen miles
north of Chateau Thierry. was nearer
the front than any other evacuation
hospital in that region. This hospital,
which was, of course, turned over to the
Army medical forces. was provided by
the Red Cross and was shipped. set up
and receiving patients in five days after
the request was received.

after a heated interview with the

declared that a retreat on a large
scale was impossible to avoid.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg has

army since August 80, 1916. In the
last six months there have been va

it was said that Gen. Won Ludendorff
had been made chief of staff. These
reports. however, were denied.

VITAL AS TO WAR
Effect on German Morale May
Prove Turning Point of
World Conflict.

President Wilson today took counsel
Of Americas allies as to the answer
that he should make on their behalf
and on behalf of the United States to
the peace offer of Germany and Aus
tria. His method of inquiry. his man
ner of consultation, the character of
the reply which he framed and the
text thereof are matters of which it is
not certain at this writing whether
the public can be advised in another
hour or another day. There is no
disposition to go off half-cocked, with
out consulting the governments Of
Great Britain. France and Italy on a
step that may mean the successful
conclusion of the war on terms salts
factory to the allies or the indefinite
prolongation of it beyond the control
of any government.
For the curious. if not the most in
teTtesting phase of the situation today,
is that while an intense interest is
fixed on what may issue from the
ment that will answer the central pow
ers, much more vital question is
what will be the effect of the Presi-
dents answer in Germany and Aus

know, as does the Congress, that Mr..
Wilson will reject the proposal for
peace at this time. but how will Ger
