EXPOSE OF KAISER
IS Big SCREEN HIT
Realistic Presentation of "The
Beast of Berlin" Pleases
Crowd at Auditorium.

"TheKaiser-The Beast of Berlin, "
a realistic screen production now on
at the Auditorium is the most sem
sational exposure ofthe kaiser and his
barbaric hordes that has thus far come
to light.
The play is authentic in parts, while
merely fanciful in others, but most of
the incidents are based y on facts.
Rupert Julian, who impersonates the
German emperor and his staff of as
sistants were more than a year in
collecting the data. The performance
is decidedly anti-kaiserish and one
that will be remembered.
The plot of the sinking of the Lusi-
tania, the raid on Belgium, and the
kaiser being knocked down by an
officer are only few of the big eli
makes, and a fanciful ending OF the
waE with kaiserism completely
crushed, with all the allied chiefs in
attendance, is we'll directed. A special
augmented orchestra renders the orig
inal musical score.
The picture chronicles in vivid
truthfulness Belgium and her inof-
fensive peoples before the invasion Of
the German hosts. The treatment of
the peasants by the German hordes
as they plow through the country,
takes the spectator into the Imperial
Palace of the kaiser and unfolds start
ling, repugnant insights into his pri-
vate life.
1t is stupendous in its treatment of
present day history, of hitherto unof-
fered truths of the personal life of the
German demon and the atrocities of
his army and navy. Julian's rendition
of the role of the kaiser is remark
able in its close attention to detail of
makeup, mannerisms, costuming,
habits and exaggerated ego of the
ruler who has plupgd the world into
mourning to advance personal am
bitions, and has sacrificed the honor
of nations, homes, men, women, and
children.
After having witnessed perform
ance of this sensational expose, it
is easy to understand why America is
fighting for worldwide democracy

81 SAILORS DIE
IN FLAMES WHEN
VESSELS COLLIDE
Crew Perishes in Burning Oil
When U. S. Steamer Smashes
Into British Ship in
Dark.

An Atlantic Port, April l7.-Thir-
ty-seven lives were lost when the
American steamship o. B. Jennings
and the British steamer War Knight,
both laden with naphtha and inham-
mable oils, collided off the British
coast on March "a, according to men,
bers of the crew of the O. B. Jen-
nings, who arrived here today. All
who perished, with one exception,
were OH the British vessel. They
were burned to death by blazing gas
and oil
Vessel Strikes Mine.
Those who survived the flames on
the War Knight we're rescued in the
nick of time by destroyers, for soon
after, while the blazing hull was be-
ing towed toward shallow water, it
struck mine and was blown up.
The destroyers went to the rescue
through field of blazing oil and took
off also the crew of the Jennings. A
number of the crew of the American
ship, however, were badly burned and
had to be removed to hospitals after
being landed.
An officer of the o. B. Jennings,
who told the story of the disaster,
supported in his statements by mem-
bers of the crew, said the collision
occurred shortly after 2 a. rn., when
they were within IS miles of their
destination. He added that it was
caused by the necessity of running
without lights owing to submarine
danger.

stock market yielded comparatively little
ground, again proving its sold-out condi-
tion. A few leaders fell back ! to points,

The war bulletins were, Of course, the
most direct market influence, but the Brit

other adverse factors.

tion at an extreme advance of 5A points.

larger than the turnover In any Of the
usual leaders.
Short covering was less of a factor than
on the previous day, but the weakness OF
the bear position was again apparent, es-
pecially In war shares and associated is

cline Of 1N at the outset. recorded full re-

Planning Board Abandons
Project to Open DOUGLAS

City planning commission will
abandon for the present the project
Of opening Douglas street, Twenty
fourth street to Twenty-ffth avenue,
owing to the estimated cost of the
Improvement being more than $780,

the prospective adoption Of a home
rule charter will make it possible to
put through an Improvement of this
kind without the present 100000 re-
strictive provision. Under the pres
ent charter an improvement of this
nature must be submitted to a vote
if the cost is more than 100000.
The commission also decided to
postpone indefinitely the proposed
opening of Twenty street,
from Howard to Farnam streets.
