RICHMOND THEATRE

Charles Ray, the ever popular
young star in Paramount Pictures,
will be seen in his. latest photoplay
"The Law of tha North" at the
Richmond Theatre tonight.
Mr.. Ray has an unusually strong
rcle in this Thomas H. Ince photo
play, that of a strong man of the
far North who is known as the Gag
let" He is the son Of the comman-
dant of trading post, and when his
father is murdered, he begins a pur-
suit CT the assassin which for dra-
matte acticn is unequalled by any
scene in any other motion picture.
The love element, is perhaps the
strongest feature Of this admirable
story. and its development affords the
spectators numerous surprises.

RED HUNS LOOK. TO TilR
They Believe Roosevelt-Taf Policy
Would Aid Them. Neutral
Diplomat Says.

Berne, Nov. "A neutral diplo.
mat, who has just arrived i'll Berne
from Germany, says that both Gov
ernment circles and the people gen
orally are facing two alternatives
complete acceptance Of President
Wilson's conditions or revolution.
The depression throughout Ger
many is appalling. People every
where are exclaiming "We are lost"
When the neutral diplomat at
tempted to console certain highly
placed Germans by saying that they
might depend on Wilson seeing that
Germany got justice, one of them re-
piled: "ii'..,at is exactly what we
fear"
They asked the diplomat: " What
about Taft's and Roosevelt's 4mani-
festo concerning Ger:nany's uncon-
dibional surrender" And he replied:
"The Bolsheviki, who are becoming
fairly powerful in Germany, hope
that the Taft-Roosevelt policy will
prevail, as they consider that this
would help Bolsehvism."
The diplomat believes that the
Junkers also prefer the Taft-Roose-
welt policy as more likely to be tact
less than the Wilson policy. The best
Swiss opinion, particularly French
Swiss opinion. favors the Wilson
plan, because. it is argued. he aims
at creating a genuinely liberal party
in Germany and preventing the mil
itarists from predominating. BY the
exercise of tact, judgment and dis
cretion, the diplomat says, Germany
may now be brought uncomprcmns-
ingly to accept the Wilson conditions.
German opinion is that the Kaiser
will certainly ahdicate sooner or
later and that the Crown Prince will
resign the right of succession.

BOMB MANY TOWNS
Allied Airmcn Attack German Cities
With Great Success

London. Nov. 9.-During Octoher
despite the prevalence Of fog and
thick midst throughout the Rhine
valley. the British independent air
force made raids over important
German towns, exclusive of nuner-
Gus raids upon German ardromes
at F'rcscaty, Hulhaza, and JametZ.
This achievement is the more strlk-
ing in view of the fact that long dis
tance flying was only possible twenty
days of the month. Of these, only
seven days could be described as
fair. while nine were highly unfavor-
able for dying operations. Hun
dreds Of tons Of bombs were droppe"
during the raids.
During the month there : were
twenty-five raids upon Metz-Sablon.
The famous railway triangle is, of
exceptional importance to the .encmE
ut ~ S'N'''
Photographs taken during recent
raids show as many rs twelve or,tll
teen enemy troops and ammunition
trains crowded into the southern arm
Of the triangle alone at one time.
Although it is not possible on every
occasion to secure direct hits upon
wagons containing ammunition ami
other highly explosive substances
the permanent way, and intricate net
work of crossings is extensivel,
damaged almost daily by the British
bombing squadrons, neccssitating the
constant employment of large repair
gangs, and causing grave delay to
the enemy's military transport: For
similar reasons the enemy junction
at Thionvilie has been repeatedly at
| ia cted during the month.
