For this reason, the need Of a
civilian representative or representa-.
tIves, with full authority to speak for
President Wilson and certain Cabinet
oitlcers' is considered essential
House Logical Choice.
The suggestion has been made that
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt should
represent the navy, and Assistant
Secretary Crowell the army. while
Colonel House acted for the President.
This plan, however, is not meeting
WIN faVor' and apparently neither
Crowell nor Roosevelt will 20 abroad.
On the other hand. the War Depart
ment let II be known that the chances
are that single agent will be sent.
Because OF his closeness to the
President, Colonel House is considered
the logical man for so important A
mission.

Relations adopted tho Hitchcock reso-
luton authorizing tn Secretary Of
War TO extend permits at Niagara
Falls George Clinton. who, as
American commissioner. was con-
cerned throughout in the preparation
OF the original treaty for controlling
the power OF the falls, appeared be-
fore the House Foreign Relations
Committee and gave a most interest
ing history OF the whole transaction.
As g representative OF New York, he
assumed that while Congress has
power to control the actual use OF the
water, the state alone has power to
form and control the corporations
which market the power from it. He
admitted that for war purposes the
Government could take over and use
everything on the New York side in
any way It pleased. The issue, how.
ever, concerns the whole twentieth
century. and It merely focuses at the
falls.

ENVOY NEEDED
TO UNITY ALL

'OVER THERE"

A plan for sending a prominent
representative OF the Government
abroad to help consolidate war activi-
ties, outside Of the strictly military
Is being given official consideration.
Colonel House, President Wilson'S
confidential adviser, may be the man
selected, or there may be a more ex-
tenstve system whereby the White
House and the War and Navy Depart
ments would each have a representa-
tive.
While the War Department will
make no official announcement at
this time, It was learned there today
that this proposal is now taking form.
Work Not Unified.
At present the Federal Trade Com
mission, Shipping Board, and other
Government branches are represented
in Europe. Their work is not entirely
co-ordinated. General Pershing is

abroad, but his position as commander

Supermen are extraordinary, or
they would not be supermen. They
have uncommon sense, or they would
not be supermen. In this country
and the world, population increased
during the peaceful part OF the sec
ond half OF the nineteenth century as
It had never done before. The results
were what we called ''the worlds
greatest progress" But at the same
time, supermen increased far beyond
the general ratio OF increase. The
results on the rest Of the population
are now developing.

There were more people trying to
demonstrate uncommon sense and ex-

ever before in the worlds history. In
order to prove their superiority, they
were obliged to insist on having as

VAUDEVILLE BILL
 AT LYCEUM CHANGES

Three new, high-class novel vaude- vile acts in keeping with the custom of the management in furnishing only the best, one big, smashing motion picture that will remain as a list top per for a long time, and several other motion pictures of vital interest," will be the program at the LyCeum thcatcr today, Friday and Saturday. Realizing that thus far the thcater has held ca pacity crowds, and that the public by it's patronage has shown it's utmost ap- preciatiOn of the efforts that have been extended, the mana cement is bringing better attractions to the the ater each week. and the last three days of this week, the best yet will be offered.
 Jack Pickford and Louise Huff, whose work in numerous pictures has led them to be declared the smOOthest working combination in the picture , world. will head the program in Jack and Jill", showing both young people at their best. Let not the impression that this is a "kid' story prevail, for it is not. From beginning to end it is a tale that will bring the joy to the 1 hearts of young and old alike, but is devoid of infantile sentimentality. TWO nedltllE young peOple, 1ull OI life and ginger, always doing some thing to bring a smile, furnish the ac- tion and a, story that fails to lag at any time is their vehicle. Both are in the prime of life and to judge from their work, are also in the prime of their careers.
 In the vaudeville line "The Sylves- ter Family, a man and woman and four children in a comedy skit, "A Quiet Evening At Home," Watson's Dogs, and a "sister team will be the attractions.
 The Sylvesters have a sketch some what different than the ordinary, and it is presented under a very ap- proprao name, for they certainly fur nish a pleasant evening.

GEORGE BUNNY AT
 FOX'S TOMORROW

Two good features and a number of entertaining short pictures mako up the program at Fox's for today, presenting two of the most capable and popular masculine stars that have yet registered on the screen. George Walsh, the Smiling Kid, is to be seen in "Blue Blood and Red" a thoroughly interesting and sur prisng picture of the wild and woody west, full of Walsh pep and red-firo action from beginning to end. It is a hard proposition to supply Georgie with stories that give him enough to do to keep him really busy, but in Blue Blood and Red" there is no danger of his falling asleep, for he is kept on the jump lodging trouble and bullets all through Jim Marcus is in the supporting cast. He will be recalled for his splendid work as the governor in '"The Honor System." Wherever Jim is, there is sure to be a laugh, and he is good for lot of them in his present role. The picture was directed by Raoul Walsh. The star of '"The Averaging Trail" the other feature, is Harold Lockwood, and he is given some great opportu-
 
 tions which he has formerly kept un- der cover. It is a strong story of the lumber camps of the great un- charted North. in which a, girl plays an unusual part, and shows that, giv- en half a chance, some girls can ac- complish as much as any man. These two features will be shown for the last time tonight.
 Extra ordinary jntnrest ic oturo1Iu attached to the Fox feature for Fri day and Saturday, as one of the feat ured characters of the play is George Bunny, the well-known New Britain actor. MT. Bunny has enjoyed a great deal of success in the theatrical business, both on the boards and on the screen, and at the present time he is co-starring with that dainty little beauty, June Caprice, in splendid new Fox success, The Heart of Romance" MT. Bunny plays the part of Judge Stafford, June's guardian, and the story, which is nightly interesting and absorbing has to do with the difficulty of deter mining whether the attentions of a certain sweetheart are prom pted from love, or from avarice. There is an unusual twist to the plot that lends exceptional fascination to it. On the same program with MT. Bunny and Miss Caprice will be the first of those screamingly funny Billy West com edies. West is so funny that all critics agree that his only rival is Chaplin himself. Mutt and Jeff help out in the fun-making, and for the serious side of the show, the fourth strikingly exciting episode of that ex- ccllent serial, Vengeance and the Woman" will be shown. The Pathe News will complete the bill.
