At The Theatre
At the Palace Tomorrow.

Frank Keenan's first Pathe play,
LOADED Dice" will be at the Palace
theatre tomorrow. 1t represents one
Of the finest accomplishments Of his
career. Loaded Dice was senario-
ized by G;lson Willetts from the novel
by Ellery A. Clark. 1t is a power
ful drama. affording the star prob
ably the strongest role he has ever
had. He is sopported by big cast,
including Florence Billings. The time
illness Of the story is shown by the
fact that it deals with food profiteer-
ing. The character created by Mr..
Keenan, is that Of an INSCRIPTIONS,
unprincipled man, whose one law IS,
Success, and let nothing stand in the
way" and who says: God is a myth"
Through the intensely dramatic story
he almost proves his point; always he
seems capable Of winning. For when
one plays for high stakes, when one
must win, he must play with loaded
Dice" he says. Then at last in a
scene, the gripping power of which
cannot be described, he dies with these
words on his lips: "a lose; there is a
God.' Benjamin Chapin in "The Son

In discussing post bellum read

ton to put this war through without
flinching until we win TIE peace of
overwhelming victory. We are pledged
to secure fore ach well-behaved ma
ton the right to control its own des-
TIMES and to live undominated and
unharmed by others, so long as it does
not harm others.
"This is the peoples war. 1t is
not the presidents war. 1t is moi
Congress war. 1t is the duty OF the
Republican party to stand like a rock
against inefficiency, incompetence,
hesitation and delay no less than
against lukewarmnes sin serving the
common cause of ourselves and our al
lies. To support public servant who
does wrong is as profoundly unpatIl-
otic as to oppose public servant who

After enumerating German barbar-
tiles in Belgium, and the cruelties of
Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey, Ger
many's "vassal states," Colonel Roose-
welt said:
"Unless we war on Turkey precise
" as we war on Germany, we show
that we are insincere when we say that

Preparations for three years war;
tie training of an army of 5,0O0OOU

itary training, and the rushing Of ship
construction, were urged by the for
mer president as most vital to the
winning of the war.
"All our other activities in making
arms, ammunitions, airplanes and 9TH

The speaker sounded warning
against professional pacifists, who,
he said, as apostles of weakness and
folly" would renew their activities
when peace is won.
''Friends," he said, ct is not only
our duty to be prepared against war.
1t is, if possible, even more our duty
to prepare for peace. And we are al

TOWN IS
SHELLED
tUnited Press Leased Wire.)

LONDON, Jan. 16.-Yarmouth
was bombarded from the sea dur
ing the night, Lord French, direc-
tor of home defenses, reported to-
day.
Twenty shells were hurled into
the port.
Three were killed and 10 in
jured.
The damage was not serious,
French declared.
The bonn bardment continued for
five minutes.
The official statement does not
specify when the guns with which
the seaport was bombarded were
those of q German cruiser or a
super-submarine, but the latter
appears most likely.
Yarmouth is in the county of
Norfolk on the east coast of Eng
land. 1t has extensive dock
yards.
The fusillade was carried out
with extraordinary rapidity.
Shells burst over various sections
of Yarmouth and many roofs and
chimneys were smashed.
The first shell fired was star
shell, the light from which wildly
showed the town below it. Then
came the hurting salvo.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 15.-Amer-
ica's spy hunting machinery was
working at full speed today In
the chase after accomplices oil
Walter Sporemann, believed to
be the leader in one of Germany $
most spectacular plots against
this country.
Sporemann was in charge of a
naval intelligence office. The
search for his companions is on
in Washington, New York and
other eastern cities.
Sporemann, arrested at Nor
folk, Va, will face hearing here.
The preliminary charge against
him ia only that OF being a dan
gerous enemy alien, but from evil
dence at hand 1t is likely he will
be charged with spying and if con-
victed will doubtless be shot.
The alleged Teuton agent, who
was caught trying to fire an army
magazine within the important
naval zone of Hampton Roads.
had been trailed long by intelli-
gence meh and justice department
agents. They followed him at
social affairs and in his journeys
to Camp Meade, Md, and other
military points.
Tho he wore the uniform OF the
U. S. army, the men logging him
penetrated the disguise and never
letting him out of their sight, fin
ally trailed him to the magazine
near Newport News.

Mrs. SWayne In Limelight

With Prosecutor Allen keeping
strict silence, and with Mains at
torneys failing to find any indi-
cation of his guilt, the evidence
appears at best to be purely cir
cumstsntial, IL not absolutely
flimsy.
1t is known the state has at least
four witnesses, one of them a
woman and another a boy, who
claim to have seen Main within a
few minutes of the murder, the
hour of which is placed by the
officers at 5:15 p. m
Struggle Brief.
Mains real estate office Is only
a short block away from Swayne's
grocery store, where the murder
occurred. There is one witness
for the state, 1t is said, who claims
to have seen Main talking ner-
vously to two men in front Of his
office at 5 o'clock; another who
claims to have seen Swayne walk
ing hastily toward the grocery
store at $40; another who claims
to have seen a light In the store
go on, then off again, and boy
who claims to have seen Main
walking from the store back to his
office at $50.
Could the terrific struggle In
the store, the Telling OF Swayne In
the struggle, then the final blows
with the ak have taken place in
so short time? Impossible, say
the defense attorneys.
Claims Alibi.
On the other hand. Main claims
to have a complete alibi. He had
been out all afternoon looking
over some logged-off land, he says.
At S o'clock he returned to his
office and had a conversation
with two men there. At $50, he
claims, Mrs. w. w. Emery, wife
off the owner of the one sawmill
at Napavine, came into the office
from the train to telephone to her
husband.
Mrs: Emery declares Main show
ed no signs of excitement, that
there were no blood stains on him
and there was nothing unusual
about his appearance.
Where were the blood stains ?
There have been rumors today
that a bloody coat and AK have
been found at Napavine. but so far
there has appeared to be no foun-
dalton for them.
Look at that coat that Oscar
is wearing" said Supreme Court
Judge Main at the arraignment
last night. That is the very suit
he was wearing at the time he is
alleged to have committed the mur-
der. This arrest is the most out
rageous thing l have ever seen in
all my experience.
