END OF WAR DOES
NOT MEAN PEACE
FOR RUSSIANS
Allied Troops Must Help Rus
sia Emerge From Chaos,
Says Czech.
(By Associated Press)

TOXIC, Dec. 30.-The end of the
war does not mean peace for Russia,
says DR.. Vaclav Girsa, of the Czecho-
Slovak National Council who is now
in Toxic. Peace conferences will not
be able to prevent the internal strug-
giles in the disorganized state; that
can only be accomplished by military
decision. and can only be the task of
the Allies added DR.. Girsa.
Many divisions of Allied troops now
are needed to- help Russia emerge
from it's chaos because, said Dr. Girsa.
more than half of the Czecho-Slovak
troops who were in Russia when the
Brest-Litovsk peace treaty was signed
now are in hospitals or in their
graves.
Dr. Girsa said the situation of his
troops in Siberia has been well-nigh
insupportable. One division had been
forced to hold for long time an i'm
mense front. 1t had been obliged to
guard the railroad, the important
places in Siberia, to organize the mu-
milton factories and maintain order in
all the towns. He quoted Russian
officer from the front as describing
the situation thus: Il am an old SOL
der and have seen many military
troubles but the efforts shown by the
CzechoSlovak soldiers in Siberia sur
pass all human forces, and I can only
say that the men seem to have been
carried above their normal condition"
Predicts Development.
DR.. Girsa said that his people feel
that they must perish but they wish
to fulfill their duty to the last They
have quite given up hope of effective
military aid but they are determined
to fight to the last breath. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the Russian
nation would surprise the world by its
powerful development in the future
He added:
1--WE Czecho- Slovaks understand the
Russian people. We have lived
among them during all the great
changes OF the war and we feel SYM
pathy for them. We can never forget
the immense sea OF Russian blood
which was shed during the first three
years Of the war. We must not for
get that great majority Of the Rus
sian people have not said their last
word
I'm giving to the Russian army pro-
lection We had absolutely no aspira-
ton for political power in Russia,
but such misunderstanding seems to
have been our fate from the very be-
ginning of the war. Even now we are
called by the Russians the mysterious
Czecho-Slovaks.
DR. Girsa said 1t was fatal mistake
to suppose Bolshevism to be a demo-
cratic movement. Democracy en-
deavors to organize and to rule the
people according to human conscience,
but the Bolsheviki stamp out the prin-
tples of morality and culture. Boil
was a collective title used for
different political and social phenom-
ena; from the idealistic Utopia to the |
German propaganda forces.

NAVAL CANNON
CAUSED GREAT
DAMAGE TO HUNS
Powerful Shells Twice as
Large as Those of German
Super-Cun.

NEW YORK, Dec 3O.--The story OF
the success of Americas land battery
OF fourteen-inch naval guns, as told by
members Of the crews themselves. was
given to the public here today when
copies OF THE Big u" newspaper
printed on board the battleship Utah.
were circulated on shore.
II was the Utah's picked gun crew,
the newspaper said, that was sent
ashore to get" the Germon supergun
which was Smelling Paris. The gun
was removed, It was said, before the
batteries got into action, but the navy
men had the satisfaction Of smashing
away at the German line for several
months before the armistice was
signed.
The shells fired by the naval guns,
according to 1.-The Big u" were almost
twice the size Of those fired by the
German super-gun and were go power
ful that on one occasion an exploding
shell hurled two loaded freight cars
from track to the top Of railway
station.
Another shell landed in a hut where
100 Germans were watching motion
picture show and when the American
troops later reached the spot forty
Identification tags were all that could
be found to tell the fate of the party.
Guns Fire 800 Rounds.
The naval guns habitually fired at
range Of from twenty to twenty-one
miles. the article said, and more than
800 rounds had been fired when the
armistice was signed. 1t would have
been necessary to have removed the
guns for refining within a short time
had not the armistice put an end to
their work
Describing the activities of the bat
terry, the article said:
From the forest Of Compiegne we
fired on Ham; from Fontency and
scissors on Laon and its railway con-
nections; from Jussy eleven kilomet-
ers east of Ham, on Monitors (north
Of Laon); from Charny and other
points north of Verdun we destroyed
the Metz-Sedan Railway line at Mont
medy and other places and finally
guns Nos. l and were preparing en-
placements in forests near Nancy and
Luneville when the armistice was de-
clared
"A number of holes made by our
projectiles have since been visited
One was twenty feet in diameter and
fifteen feet deep, another thirty-seven
feet in diameter and twelve feet deep
and so on, depending on the character
Of the ground.
''In the entire battery of 500 men,
only three were lost. Two succumbed
70 disease and the other died Of his
wounds from fragments Of a German
shell"

EMPIRE

James Forbes, a young bank cash fer of Vaudeville, was unfortunate enough to get into the tolls of East ern crooks who fleeced him at poker. It is rumored he used money belong ing to the bank to make good his losses. However, the crooks were captured in the act of robbing the bank, through the instrumentality of Nora, a waif, who came into town in @ box car. The whole affair was hushed up and the young man and the girl who apparently saved him are to be married. That is romance with a vengeance-and proves that the Middle West still has its exciting experiences.
 This is a brief synopsis of the plot of When Do We Eat?" a new pie ture by c. Gardner Sullivan, starring Enid Bennett and produced by Thom- as H. Ince for Paramount. It will be seen at the Empire theatre today. Sunday evening: Sessue Hayakawa in "His Birthright."

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
LYRIC

Should a woman marry for love or money, is question that has aroused more or less comment since the world began and while 1t seems that the greater majority is in favor of the former there are those who disagree. An effort to answer this interesting question is made in the presentation of the world famous dramatic produce ton, Bought and Paid For" which Is a story of today amid scenes to which all are accustomed and among people one meets in everyday life. Whether or not the story of the play answers the question is left for those who attend to decide. Aside from this it is g. production that every man and woman should see and its situations some of which are dramatic in the extreme, are well worth the time spent.
 When first produced Bought and Paid For" created furore and play ed to packed houses wherever present. ed. It Is the story of girl who is in love with a man with not as much of this worlds goods as might be de- sired. Another comes along who has everything and she falls a victim to his wiles. They are married, but she soon learns that he does not love her, but regards her as having been Bought and Paid For" and there fore his property to do with as he likes. The situations which lead up to the final denouement are filled with interest and cause the audience to hold its breath at times at the audacity of 1t all
 Tomorrow night through special ar engagements Clay Clement, the Poi Players leading man, will be seen In a picture in which he plays the leading role opposite Kitty Gordon The picture Is entitled "The Purple Lily" and is in itself well worth see ing. Those who have seen Mir. Cle- ment in some of the popular produc- tions at the Lyric theatre will be de- lighted with this opportunity of see ing him in pictures. Charlie Chap lin will also be one of the features in one of his funiest creations. Other features will also be shown.
 Tonight the final performance o1 the spooky play, "The Ghost Break er," will be given and a large attend ance is expected.

POLES

One of the most distinctive achieve ments in the realm of motion pictures has been recorded in Together" the great photodrama in which the beau tiful Violet Mersereau Dortrays three roles-a mother, daughter and son. The patrons of Polls theatre will have an opportunity of seeing this great production tomorrow evening in addition to an elaborate bill of come dies, travelogues and photographic news pictures.
 There are many thrilling scenes in this great picture, and in one scene Miss Mersereau is seen actually en- gagged in fight as Laura Stanhope, with herself in the part of Larry, the Kid" The scene is one of the most successful double exposures yet made. One scene in the picture shows her in all three roles, a wonderful example of triple exposure.
 The story deals with a young girls fight to retain an estate left her by her father in the care of a shrewd executor. The will provides that she and her twin brother from whom she was separated when a child must ap- pear before the executor on certain day.
 The girls triumph over the execu- tor and her search for her brother necessitates many thrilling experi- ences which add vigor to the charm ing appeal of the story.
 The picture which is briefly an- nounced above would in the ordinary sense be a complete program in itself but the management of Bridgeport's popular playhouse has arranged for a monster supporting bill which in- cludes a Mutual comedy, Love Loops the Loop" another uproarious com- dy. "Our Far-Flung Battle Line Hearst-Pathe Weekly, showing the latest releases made by the Depart ment of Public Information and ad- ded to the above will be that most charming of all O.
