 New York HeraM.-The reply sent yesterday is the best possible proof ] that the interlude consisting of the l Presidents questioning of the Ger
 man Imperial Chancellor and that functionary's reply was as unneces- i sary as it was futile.
 If in any. respect the presidents s reply seems inadequate to the Amer ican people, it will be in the absence from it of any mention of reparation and punishment.
 ], Washington P0st-Humanity can not fail to applaud the decision taken by President Wilson in behalf of the United States and the allies and con- veytng to the German government in manner that gains terrible signifi- canoe and finalitW by the restraint of the language employed. The note is nothing less than a sentence of death upon the Hohenzollern military sys- tenn, pronounced by the spokesman of the civilized world. now in arms and actually executing the sentence.
 Santa Barbara (Calif.) Morning
 Press: The President has spoken in plain American terms. America will
 not deal with Emperor William. Cleveland Plaindealer: There can
 be no peace There can be no arm istice.
 There can be nothing but war, SO
 long as the HohenZollern sits on the throne.
 Once more the issue of war and peace is put squarely up to the Ger man people, Ohio State Journal: The Hohen-
 zol,erns and their military ring must SO. We can have no dealings with 1 a clique so false and foul as they.
 Birmingham, (Ala.) Age.Herald:
 In his latest reply to Germany Presi- 1 dent Wilson seals autocracy's doom. He offers not the slightest hope that an 'armistice will be granted to allow the dissolving forces of crime ana raping to re-Organize.
 Nashville, (Tenn.) Tehnessean: The Presidents latest note to Germany is the frankest, and at the same time the most complete diplomatic document in history.
 Germany is left without peg to stand on before civilization if she fails to surrender promptly and un- conditionally.
 Raleigh, (N. @ News and Observ. CT: The Presidents latest note does not close the door to peace, but it does close the door to the fear, if any could in seriousness have exist ed,' that he would be betrayed into taking step that would in any way jeopardize allied military advantage.
 St. Louis Republic: The big man in White House has correctly gauged public opinion. The American pub- lie wants peace as the world wants peace but we will fight till He'll free zes over to rip the claws and the teeth from the breast that has ravag- Ted Europe for four years. President Wilson has spoken for the American people and the civilized world.
 Westliche. est. Louis) Post: Every word of the Presidena's reply will be approved by every true American patriot The supremacy of the allied armies musa be maintained and Ger man autocracy must fall. Wide open is the door to peace, but only to peace which autocracy will be substi- tuted by Democracy.
 New York Tribune: Why in our growing correspondence with Ger many is the word surrender taboo? Why is it that we cannot talk as we fieha? ! We are negotiating with Germany toward an armistice- toward peace. Does the American

EMPIRE

Mary Pickford's newest appearance
in an Aircraft picture is in an adapta-
ton from VIM. j. Locke's novel, "Stel'
la Maris," which will he shown at the
Empire theatre today. It was pre-
pared for the screen by Frances Ma
rion and produced by Marshall Neil
an, who directed Miss Pickford's lat
est success, "Rebecca of Sunnybrook
Farm and "a Little Princess
The story of Stella Maris gives to
Miss Pickford the most tenderly ap-
pealing role in which she has ever
appeared on the screen. The Aircraft
star for the first time in her career
plays a double role, the characters Of
Stella Maris, who has been a paralytic
for ten years, living in a home of
wealth, surrounded by every luxury
and with the tender and devoted care
of the circle of friends who are Wor-
shippers at the Court of Stella Maris''
the bedroom where none without
smiles are allowed to enter, and where
world wisdom and care has no place;
and that of Unity Blake, a yeritable
ugly Duckling, the slave of an or
phanage, living on the scraps and
dressing in the rags which are given
to her in the name of charity.
In this latter role Miss Pickford
appears with curls Strengthened out
and hair braided down against a dirty
| face and over a hunched shoulder
This uncouth character forms a re-
markable contrast to that of the
beautiful Stella Maris. Miss Pick.
ford's transition from one character
to the other will no doubt be remem
bered as one of the greatest achieve
lnents in her artistic work.
The story revolves around the cur
ing and entrance into the real worlC
of the paralytic. Stella Maris, and tn,
revelation to her, after having beer
sheltered for years in a world o
dreams and ideals, of the actualitie
of the misery and sorrow in the rea
life outside.
