GERMANY
BEATEN ONLY BY
FEARS Of DEFEAT

LONDON, Nov. 90. British Wireless
Service Germany in the end gave
way. not because she had changed her
views, but because she knew she would
be absolutely beaten, declared the ear.
Of Reading, who has been mentioned
as one of the British peace delegates
in IA speech in London Tuesday,
THE Germany which now Ia anxious
to fan In with the views Of our coun-
try,'' he said, has yet to show by
her actions and not merely by n day
or two days, or a year or two years,
that the whole spirit Of Germany has
changed as we wish it to change be-
fore we can ever believe in our hearts
that Germany has changed from what
she was before the war.
when reading the German foreign
secretary's message regarding the arm
istice conditions, 1t should be re
membered that the terms Of the aTmis-
tice were more gentle and more mer-
ciful than would have been the terms
If the war had continued. Let us con
tinue to be watchful and wary. In
peace, as in war, we must remember
what has happened. We must take to
our hearts the lessons Of the past,
we do not require revenge! France
has not asked for revenge. What we
did wish and what we were determined
to have, both in France and England
and in all the nations associated in
this great cause, was that justice
should be melted out to those who were
responsible for the awful horrors Of
the last ~ years.

GREAT AMERICAN GOAT
MAY HELP WIN WAR

Washington, d. c., March 1.-The
food administration recently modified
the. ruling defining meatless meals
and meatiess days so as to permit
the southwestern states to eat goat
meat on any day of the week. The
action was taken as the result of a
wide and vigorous protest from the
people Of those states. as they saw
themselves deprived Of their goat
chops and spare ribs without any cor
responding gain to the allied cause
or the food situation
The present meat situation makes
it probable that the goat will increase
in Importance rapidly in the near
future, not only in the west, but all
over the United States.
That the goat has a great future be-
fore him seems reasonably certain be-
cause the possibilities of raising goats
in the United States have been com
paratively less exploited than those Of
producing any other meat animal.
Goats can be raised where nothing
else can be raised, and they not only
thrive, but improve the country. Cat
tie need a fairly level, grassy range.
valleys Sheep will live on desert
where cattle grow lean. and sheep
will also Craze hillsides too steep for
cattle to get much good out of. But the
goat in rough country makes the
sheep look like an amateur.
The liberal eating of goat flesh.
even under its own name. is not at all
q radical or daring departure In
many parts Of the world it is the great
staple meat; and where it is well
known it is often preferred to NUT
ton. The meat Of a kid roasted over
the Goals Of a wood fire is one Of the
most delicious dishes imaginable. and
is probably superior to any other meat
except venison.
The function Of the goat in the
economy Of nations is not to compete
with cattle or sheep. It is to utilize

Splendors of Russia Shown
in Most Elaborate Play
She Ever Appeared In.

The Unique management presents
''The Legion of Death featuring
Edith Storey, beginning tomorrow.
The settings erected for The Legion
of Death" are spacious and elaborate.
One represents the salon and library
Of a Russian Grand Duke The fur
niture and draperies show the Sc
verify of the Russian art, and the
dim lighting and dainty colors give
the needed softening touch.
Several Of the famous Denisshawn
dancers appear in elaborate scenes
in the picture.
The Denishawn dancers are the pu-
pills of Ruth St Denis and Ted Shawn,
who are well known for their radical
dance ideas. In THE Legion of
Death" they perform at a gala ball
in an elaborate and massive setting,
representing rooms in a Russian
Royal Palace in Petrograd, preceding
the revolution.
Most of the dancers who appear in
this production have been with Ruth
St. Denis and Ted Shawn for years,
and the effectiveness of their dancing
in these scenes adds materially to the
many artistic qualities Of the picture.
These scenes of brilliant court life
are in effective contrast to the stir
ring political events that follow.
The shows will start at 1916, 1890,
2:15, 4, 5:45. 1880 and 9 p. m.
