BELAScO ORDERS REHEARSAL
OF PLAY BY JOHN HOBBLE
At One Time in Business Here, Mr..
Hobble Is Now Playwright
of Reputation.

Again Kansas comes into the lime
light, Southwest Kansas, at that, with
Seward and Ford counties DIV ding
honors.
A number of years ago, John Hob
BILE came here from Dodge City and
bought an interest in confectionery
store on Kansas avenue. He and his
partner enjoyed liberal patronage,
but John was not satisfied. He wanted
to write. He had ability as writer
and business life did not mix well
with literature. Finally he disposed
of his business and went east, where
he was associated with some Of the
larger papers Of the country, among
them the New York World.
And then he began writing plays.
A number have been produced, but
they were not what he wanted. His
desire was to do something big with
capital B.
He started to work on a comedy
that would go in Class A. He kept
at it and when it was finished he sent
it to David Belasco, the top. notch in
the theatrical world. And while he
was waiting and recuperatng from
the long period Of hard work, he Wis
tied his father at Dodge City and his
brother, Herbert Hobble Of Liberal.
He seemed the same old John to
his friends, and when the news came
from Mr.. Belasco that the play would
soon be put into rehearsal by some
Of the most famous stage people of
the country he was unchanged.
Mr.. Belasco says that in his/judg-
ment the play will be good for at
least six months in New York, and
when this six months is completed
Mr.. Hobble will have taken his place
with the best in the land.
It seems far step from the prai
ries of Western Kansas to famous
playwright, but John Hobble has TAX
en- the step. 1t meant hard work and
close application, but the honor is
worth the effort and, besides, it will
mean a pay check that few young
men accumulate in lifetime.
We are proud to relate the story
of Mr.. Hobbies success and his many
friends here join in congratulations.

Practical Ideas Along Lines of Efficiency to be Shown to Mer- chants, Clerks, Etc.-Expert Lecturer With Pictures.

Every successful merchant in busi- ness at the present time is utilizing every means possible to help him ad- vance and build up better trade. Realizing this, the Prescott Business Mems Committee has secured one of the most instructive, educational nov ing pictures ever put on the screen, entitled "The Troubles of Merchant and How to Stop Them" The pie lures will be shown at Prescott Hard- ware Co.,, Furniture Floor, East Elm street, Prescott, Ark, on Thursday, January 31, at 500 p. m.
 The film is a three-reel Essanay fea- ture and is brim full of ideas relating to retail business. It shows an old style store building, high windows preventing good display of goods, bad arrangement of stock, lack of proper management and no system, which makes the clerks indifferent resulting in the proprietor almost be- coming a failure.

.RO|TS IN RUSSIA BRINGING CRISIS
 FOR B0LSHEV|K|
Finland in Revolt While Red Guards Cut Off COmmunica- tiOns-TeutOns Are Violating Truce.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Russia is be- ing plunged into riot even more ser ious than any that has gone before. Advices reached diplomatic quarters here today indicating that the Bol- sheviki government is facing the most serious and bloody crisis of all it's brief and turbulent career.
 At the same time the state depart ment reported that all wire com- munication with Russia has been sev- cred, apparently by the Red Guard.
 Hell is popping in Finland" as one state department official expressed it.
 The Germans, meanwhile, according to other information at hand, are seek ing to create a situation of their ad- vantage. The full text of the speech in which Foreign Minister von Kuehl- mann tried to explain the Brest-Lit- ovsk negotiations to his German crit ics in the reichstag, was received at the state department today.
 The United States army general stac announced that it had informa- tion showing that Germany is break ing the terms of the truce with Rus sia by moving large numbers of men from the eastern to the western front.
 The announcement of the army general staff was made public by the committee on public information. It will undoubtedly be forwarded to the committee representative in Petrograd and will tend further to disturb the Brest-Litovsk negotiations.
 It is possible to communicate with Russia via Serbia or wiwreless, the state department explained, but the department is without fresh news from Ambassador Francis. A dis patch from him telling of the breaking up of the constitutional assembly ar rived at the same time as did dis patch from Stockholm reporting that all telephone and telegraph wires from Haparanda on the Swedish-Fin nish border to Petrograd had been cut. Other advices said that the Red Guard had cut the cables to Petrograd at Viborg and had occupied the rail- way station at Helsingfors in Finland. All communication with Finland is broken. the department reports. It is not clear whether the Red Guard re- ferred to in the above dispatches are the armed forces of the Petrograd government or the men of the Bol- sheviki.
 Supplies from the United States, reported to be desperately needed in Finland, have not yet gone forward.

MAN WRITES
 "GERMANS ARE BEATEN"

St. Louis, Jan. 30.-"The Germans are beaten. They are being driven back, slowly but surely" writes Ser geant Wiley E. James, Falls City, Neb. to c. R. Mcdonald of St. Louis. James is in France, having joined the colors in St. Louis.
 "The Germans are retreating over ground they have held for three, yes four years," he continued. ''The Ger mans lack what the allied troops have morale. Every man out here as the Tommies say, is bloody we'll fed up on the whole issue but there is not a man who wants to quit until Taps is played for Kaiserism.
 ''It is a wonderful game, but the sickening horror of it all is what hurts. Do you blame the men for being after Germany's heart blood |? A sight of the devastation that the Huns have wrought in France will transform a man who comes out here merely because his country has called him into fighting demon."

NEW DRAFT BILL BEING URGED BY
 GEN. CR0WDER
nuestion Arises Shall Those Who Have Reached 31 Years
 Since June 5, Pass Out of the Draft-War Cabinet Held Up.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Shall men ,vbo have become thirty-one years o,d since June 5, 1917, automatically mass out of the draft list?
 This suestion was brought up today bv the senate military committee. Provost Marshal General Enoch H. Crowder, who appeared before the committee, said he did not think so.
 Secretary of War Baker said in his office he believed these men should he relieved from military duty, when General Crowder appeared before the committee to urge the passage of a law registering all men who have be- come 21 since the date above men, toned. Secretary Baker made this statement week or so ago, just after the bill was sent to the chairman of the house and senate military com- mittee.
 q am a little unprepared for the secretary's statement" said General Crowder, q did not know of such a provision in the bill. I would very much prefer for the thirty-one year old man to remain eligible"
 q sent the bill to the chairman" said the secretary, land I certainly intended that those men should be re- leased. If there is any difference in opinion, between the general and my self, it was misunderstanding in our conversation"
 The senate committee was prepared tonight to report the bill favorably to the senate tomorrow, but some of the members are opposed to releasing the thirty-one year old man, and the bill may be delayed.
 General Crowder was on the stand less than thirty minutes. He pre- ceeded Howard Coffin, chairman of the aircraft board, who told the com- mittee of preparations for air war This week will be consumed in hear ing aviation experts. It may be ten days before Secretary Baker is re- called by the committee. In the meantime the war cabinet bill is held up pending the further testimony.
 The provost marshal general was urgent that the committee introduce the draft bill. It would make imme- dlately available for service two mil

ion men in Draft Class No. 1.

lioA iiiSii III DIdlI OldSS NO. l.
 When the twenty-one year old men have been registered new drawing would probably be ordered and the men classified.
 Fully 75 per cent of them, it is estimated, would be in Class 1. The provost marshal general said that all but about one quarter of the two mil lion would probably be physically and otherwise fit for service. This would do away with necessity for calling out deferred classes and so in future after Class 1 as drawn in community, no more men will be drawn there until all of Class 1 have been taken through out the country.
 A suggestion by the provost mar shal general was that the president be given authority to draft mechanical experts.
 The new draft bill is one checking up corrections of the old. One change to be made is that in future the quota will not take into account the larger number of undraftable aliens, whose inclusion has caused so much discon- tent. Americans have been taken in undue proportion because the aliens were not liable to military duty.

ITALIANS STRIKE SURPRISE BLOW
 AGAINST ENEMY
Deliver Attack All Along Ten Mile Front, Making TeutOns Fall Back - Capture 1,5OO Prisoners.

London, Jan. 29.-At a moment when the Austrian "home front" is on the brink of collapse, the Italians have dealt a staggering blow to the dual monarchy's army. On front of nearly ten miles, between the Asiago and the Brenta river, where a few short weeks ago, the Teutons were but eight miles from the Venetian plains and victory, General Diaz's northern army surged forward yes terday through two feet of snow and in a fierce foot for foot combat pressed back their opponents, throw ing them from important dominating positions.
 Fifteen hundred prisoners, among them 62 officers, had been counted up to late today. The drive is still on although for the moment localized. The line that was smashed was held mainly by Austro- Hungarians. Over night Italy, who was to have been put out of war" before snow fell, hos once more risen to a dominating plane in the allied military calcula- tions. For the Teutons she has sud- denly become the most menacing foe, for if the success is followed up and the Austrians suffer large-scale de- feat, the effect upon the war-weary Austro-H Hungarian masses will be in- calculable.
 Moreover, Hindenburg faces a new "ultimatum" from the Austrian staff and may have to throw his ambitious western plans overheard to save the alley.
 Warm praise is given in General Diaz's report for the effective CO., operation of the French and British army.
