The Ambassador Who Stayed.

Cleveland Plain Dealct: The con
duct OF American ambassadors at
the belligerent European capitals
has elected much praise. Before
and since the entrance OF this ma
ton into the war they have shown
themselves resourceful, courageous
and truly representative OF the peo-
pile in whose name they have spoken.
The latest instance relates to Am
bassador Francis, who represented
America before the Russian nation
as long as Russia was nation and
has stayed on in spite OF the fact
that the government TO which he
was accredited has crumbled.
The Temps OF Paris cites the ex-
ample OF Francis and declares that
the ambassadors OF the other allies
would have done better had they
followed it, Clearly the United
States ambassador was right in not
leaving Russia says The TEMPS
Mr. Francis was right also in de-
claung that his government and tel
low countrymen are too deeply in
terested in the prosperity OF the
Russian people to abandon the coun-
try to the Germans, and the govern
mentS and people OF the entente will
share this sentiment
What good may come out of Rus
,ia remains to be seen. Al any rate
the United States, through Francis
and otherwise, Is doing lis part il
helptulnsss.

men got me and pulled me out OF it.
There were no gas masks at that
time. We were totally unprepared
for maneuvers OF that sort. All OF
the Highland divisions were in that
attack, about twenty thousand men.
1t was pretty serious then, but
many times since l have laughed at
our attack, my first. The attack
came from the other side.

"The Daredevil"
Special New Years Attrsction
Featuring Gail Kane.

Gail Kane was the proiego of
the late lamen,ed Charles froh-
man, who periShed on the i'll
fa,ed Lusltaria. II was just be-
fore his death that he planned 10
star her in a number OF plays AT
the time OF his death she was en-
gagged in The Serpen,'s Tooth
She made such a phenomenal sue
cess in The Serpcnt's Tooth" tina,
she was induced 10 join the Fa-
nous Players Film company.
Her phenomenal success in mo-
tion pictures convinced her that
she was more adapted for moving
pictures than the stage.
She appears as the star ip "The
Daredevil" which will be on the
Strand screen on New Years day,
special attraction secured for
this day only She is supported
by Norman Trevor, the great
English artist. Mildred Marsh,
sister Of Nae Marsh, and Duncan
McRae, the famous English actor,
also add TO the strong cast.
"The Daredevil" is all that its
name implies. 1t is a combina-
,ion Of pa,ho,, drama, mirih and
comedy and No thrilling scenes
will hold the audience spelIbound
from start to finish. One notable
feature Of thi, play is that in the
usual run of motion pictures one
can predict what is going to hap
pen while in this picture no one
can tell until they have seen the
play. 1t has been selected by the
management OF the Strand for the
New Years day offering on ac-
count Of the diversity and almost
endless thrilling situations.
The Strand theater, which only
a short time ago was considered
in the Nickelodeon class, has now
become the leading feature film
,hcater in Oklahoma City. This
fact has attracted the most critical
Of moving picture fans because
they are always sure OF seeing the
latest and best in motion pictures
on the Strand screen. (Ady.)
