With the British Army In France
Following the successful and victori-

Generally speaking, the forward
movement in the Cambrai-St. Quentin
sector seems to be converging in the
direction Of LIE Cateau and the i'm

ment of intensity, which crashed into
the German defense, leveled wire en-
tanglements, cayed in dugouts and
played havoc with the terrified Ger

Casualties on the allied side were
extraordinarily small, according to all
available reports. During the fore
noon the GermOns delivered a counter
attack in which large number of in
fantry units were assisted by three
German tanks, we'll up near Cambria,
on the left flank Of the Third army.
This counter-attack was fruitless and
resulted only in piling up German

WILSON DISPATCHES QUERY.
Withdraw To Your Borders, Then
Wen Talk, Says Wilson.


Wen Talk, Says Wilson.
Before making reply to the re-
quest of the imperial German govern.
ment, and in order that that reply
shall be as candid and straightforward
as the momentous interests involved
require, the president of the United
States deems 1t necessary to assure
himself of the exact meaning of the
note of the imperial chancellor. Does
the imperial chancellor mean that the
imperial German government accepts
the terms laid down by the president
in his address to the congress OF tho
United States on the 9Th of January
last, and In subsequent addresses aud
that its object in entering into discus.
sions would be only to agree upon the
practical details Of their. applications?
The president feels bound to say
with regard TO the suggestion of al
arlnistice that he would not feel at
liberty to propose cessation of arms
to the governments with which the
government Of the United States is as.
ISOLATED against the central powers
so long as the armies Of those powers
are upon their soil. The good faith
Of any discussion would manifestly de,
pend upon the consent of the central
powers Immediately to withdraw their
forces everywhere from invaded terri
tory.
The president also feels that he Is
justified in asking whether the impe.
rial chancellor is speaking merely for
the constituted authorities of the em-
pire who have so far conducted the
war He deems the answer to these
questions vital from every point of
view"

MARY PIcKFoRD N'sTEILA MARls

Mary Pickford's next appearance in
an Aircraft picture will be in an adapt
alton from VIM. j. Locke's novel ''Stei-
Ia Maris. which will be shown at the
Palace Theatre, May 10 and II. 1t was
prepared for the screen by Frances
Marion, and produced by Marshall Nei-
len, 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 appeal
ing rele in which she has ever appeared
on the acreen. The Aircraft star for
first time in her career plays q double
role, the characters of Stella Maris
who has been a parlytic 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 worshippers 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, 8
veritable Ugly Duckling, the slave Of
an orphanage, 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 ap-
pears with curls Strengthened out and
hair braided down against dirty face
and over hunched shoulder. This un-
couth character forms a remarkable
contrast to that of the beautiful Stella
Maris. Miss Pickford's transition from
one character o the other will no doubt
be remembered as one of the greatest
achievements in her artistic work.
The story revolves around the curing
and entrance into the real world Of the
paralytic, Stella Maris, and the revela-
tion to her, after having been sheltered
for years in a world Of dreams and
ideals, of the actualities of the misery
and sorrow in the real life outside.
