EXCELLENT SHOW IS PRESENTED AT PALACE THEATRE.

With Charley Chaplin and Fatty Arbuckle in a comedy and Alice Brady in Betsy Ross," the Palace has on a strong bill.
 This picture is not only timely patriotic offering of the most inspir ing character, but it is also a charm ingly entertaining romance. The Miss Ross is entrancing and heroic. Miss Brady gives one of her charac- teristically effective and memorable characterizations in this part. As would be expected from the title and the nature of the play, historic char acters figure in it quite largely. Gen. Washington, for instance, is seen on the screen together with several oth CT famous characters. The home of Betsy Ross where the first star spangled banner has been faithfully reproduced for this picture, and, of course, the costumes of the times are seen in all their pleasing quaint ness
 While Betsy Ross" is notable for it's historic aspect it is because the picture is such a thoroughly enter taning drama that it will be par ticularly well liked by picture fans. Betsy's love story is one of the most entrancing romances imaginable while the love story of her sister, CIarissa, is no less interesting. Alto gether Betsy Ross is as pleasing an to conceive of

VIVIAN MARTIN
 COMING ATTRACTION AT THE COLISEUM,

Vivian Martin, the charming Pal las Paramount star, who will be seen at the Colesium Sunday in Paul
 Vests clever story, "A Kiss for Susie," has a very poor opinion of
 the building trade in general and
 bricklaying in particular. In the
 first part of the story Miss Martin is seen as the daughter of brick
 layer who carries his lunch to her
 construction was selected as the To-
 cation for these scenes. Miss Martin has the habit, when she is not ac i, tually engaged in scenes, of "snoop- l ing around to see what is going on. so while Tom Forman was engaged in learning to carry a bod of bricks, Miss Martin started on tour of in- vestigation. Seeing ladder reaching from the second floor she started to climb it. When she was about four feet off the ground the ladder began to sway and Miss Martin thought it advisable to jump to safety Seeing a nice box apparently filled with soft white sand near the base of the lad der. she leapcd into it only to sink to her knees in mass of soft nor tar which the real bricklayers were to use shortly. In trying to extricate
 herself from this mess she fell down and when finally rescued was in such
 condition that she had to be sent hack to the studio tO clean uD When the chauffeur of her own machine
 saw her approaching dripping with
 soft mortar at every step. he and the chauffeurs- of all the other machines immediately discovered tire trouble and Miss Martin had to make the journey back to the studio in a brick wagon.

BIRTH OF A NATION JUSTIFIES ITS REPUTATION.

Historically alone the Birth of a Nation" is well worth seeing. It vividly and accurately portrays the stirring highlights of the rebellion and reconstruction days of the south. The assassination of President Lin coin, the events leading up to that crime, and the dark days immediately following, are given with a close re gard to historical value. In fact, the setting for the scenes are exact re- productions taken from photographs and personal descriptions of the places.
 Then aside" from the historical value, the best movie talent has been pressed into service for story that is one of thrilling interest with love running through. The activities of the Klu Klux Klan forms another in teresting sidelight into those stirring times. Those who have not seen the Birth of a Nation" should avail themselves of the opportunity

RETURNS SHOW
 THAT SOCIALISTS
 VOTED FOR WICK
PoIIed Over 200 Votes but Gave Their Candidate for Delegate Less
 Than 30 Votes.

The election~~ returns from the First Division disclose the fact that 75 per cent or more of the Socialist vote of Southeastern Alaska was cast for Judge Wickersham instead of for the Socialist candidate for Delegate to Congress, whereas two years ago it was cast for Lena Morrow Lewis, the regular Socialist candidate.
 Two years ago Mrs Lena Morrow Lewis received 341 votes in the First Division for Delegate, approximately the same vote that the candidates on the Socialist Divisional ticket re- ceived
 This year, the Socialist candidates on the Divisional ticket received on an average about 200 votes, the loss from approximately $50 votes of the previous election representing the ap proximate Socialist proportion of the loss of votes in the Division in the two years-the total vote having de creased from about 4,700 two years ago to about 2,750 votes this year.
 However. this year while the So cialist divisional nominees received an average of about 200 votes, the So cialist candidate for Delegate to Con gress received only 46 votes-less than 25 per cent of the vote for the divisional nominee. Two years ago they were about the same.
 The evidence that the Socialists that did not vote for the party nom inee for Delegate to Congress voted for Wickersham may be discovered by very cursory examination of the returns. It will be noted that in those precincts where the Socialist candi dates for the Territorial Legislature and Road Commissioner received a considerable number o&. votes, Wick ersham also received a large vote and Sulzer small vote. For ex ample, the precinct of Scow Bay. Sul- ger got no votes at that precinct, the Socialist candidate for Delegate re ceiyed and Wickersham g. The So cialist nominees for the divisional of fices received an average of a dozen of the other parties got scattering votes.
 In Petersburg, Ketchikan, and oth CT precincts the same condition is in dicated. 1t also is known that many pronounced Socialists on Gastineau channel supported Wickersham this year.

SPORTS

NEW YORK, Nov 29-The re markable hold which the American athletics and sports gained in France with the entry of the United States army is being illustrated in many ways and there are indications that the return of peaceful conditions will only augment this popularity. Com petent observers hold firmly to the opinion that the coming years will witness a wonderful growth in inter- national sport competition the seeds of which have been sown by the sol dier in khaki and those who entered Europe with him in advisory or oth- CT helpful capacity.
 That the French army authorities realized the value of athletics as eX- emplified by the American soldier and sailor is shown by the appoint ment of special instructors from the Y M. c. A. Foyer du Soldat ranks These American coaches are faced by a most unusual and complicated task but have tackled the work with the vim so characteristic in sport in this country and are already able to report encouraging progress. They found themselves confronted from the start by conditions that have no parallel in the United States. At home, the coach practically never has to teach the fundamentals of any game, his pupils acquire those in childhood But in France, athletics must be built from the ground up" Instead of organizing and continuing sports that are already well known, the Foyer du Soldat men must be literally pioneers.
 As the first problem is to teach new games, the work is necessarily rial that is well-grounded in the things desired and putting a fine edge on the individual skill and teamwork, the American working with the French must treat his task entirely from the standpoint of amusement and distraction.
 The Frenchman is by nature and temperament a sportsman, and is able to learn American games very quickly Unfortunately for the rapid growth of sports that require throw ing and catching, there have been no games generally played in France that develop muscular coordination of the hands, arms and shoulders For this reason baseball, basketball and volley ball will prove especially valuable in giving the French a well balanced development.
 Within the past few months the French military authorities have found this work of so much benefit where conducted upon an informal and voluntary basis, that they have officially appointed Foyer men in charge of athletics in several train ing corps and schools. In view Of the fact that demobiiization is ex pected to extend over a considerable period these appointees and others are likely to retain their billets for

BERLIN SEEKS VA|NLY
FOR COMFORT IN
WILSON'S SPEECH
(By Associated Press,

BERLIN, Dec THE summary of
the address delivered by President
Wilson before congress last Monday
which has reached here is presumably
inadequate and hence there has been
little comment on it in the newspapers.
Germans seek vainly for comfort in
the message and in Mr.. Wilson's pro-
gram, in which it is supposed that
America and the allies have pledged
themselves that Germany will have
only shadowy existence at the peace
conference. A large majority of Ger
mans believe in President Wilson S
good intentions and all their hopes are
centered in him, but there is a gener-
al fear amounting almost to a settled
belief that he will be unable to force
his program through. The Zeitung AM
mittag says.
1T is almost unimaginable optimism
for one to hope that Wilson's inter-
vention will mitigate the destructive
conditions of peace
Other comments seem to recognize
that President Wilson may not be the
dominating figure that Germans have
expected him to be. Some papers de-
clare that he approved of America s
imperialistic naval policy and has
failed to check the entente's "piratical
economic plans"

MONEY PROBLEM
CAUSES ANXIETY
AMONG GERMANS
Operating Expense is Exceed

Times-Eisner to Succeed
Solf.
(By Associated Press>

MUNICH, Dec. Z. (via Geneva)-
Anxiety is being shown by the Ger
man, especially the Bavarian, press
over the financial stability and even
the honesty of many of the hundreds
of Workmens and Soldiers councils
now conducting affairs of this country.
Reliable reports say that the disburse-
ments have totalled S00.000,000 marks.
If this rate OF expense continues it
will exceed the total German budget
with its enormous outlay for military
upkeep, by several times.
The Bavarian Gazette says that the
money difficulties of the councils are
constantly growing more acute. The
financial problem was simple in the
beginning because the soldiers occu-
pied state buildings which were heat
ed and lighted by the old staff and,
and requisitioned state automobiles.
When money needs arose, however,
difficulties began, says the newspaper,
which at first were met by individual
we'll wishers, but now have become
so urgent that serious consequences
are threatened.
SurreptitiouS Issues.
"An undreamed of perspective opens
up for the state treasury" the Gazette
continues, " if the workers and peas
ants councils with at least 10000
members in 5000 Bavarian communi-
ties become active and spend 20 marks
0aily per person"
The Neueste Nachrichten demands
an accounting. 1t says that soldiers
who formerly served on their pay, now
are drawing salaries, and have in
some cases displaced officers and are
paying themselves half as much
again. 1t questions, also, whether pa
per money is not being surreptitiously
