Plea justified, Says Mr.. Ferris


Chairman Ferris Of the democratic
congressional committee gave out a
statement in part as follows:
The republicans are, lavishly as
serting that they have more faith
fully supported the President than

After. reciting what he sets forth as
the record Of republican votes on war
measures, Mr.. Ferris concluded:
mo. the truth is President Wilson

world His conduct of the war is ac-
ceptable to the whole world, except
Germany and the self-constituted
partisan leaders of the: republican
party:

WHO PAYS, WOMAN
 OR MAN? AT FOX'S

That much talked of picture The Price of a Good Time, will be the main attraction at Fox's for the com ing three days, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. This picture has been the sensation of Boston, New York and the other bigger cities in which it has been presented. In addition Pearl White, in "The House of Hate, Char lie Chaplin, and other Fox featuretteS will make up an attractive bill.
 It was only a short time ago that Jewell Productions, IpC.. went into the film business to grab up all the big features that money could buy And they've succeeded beyond even thelr most hilarious expectations. Their growing Jewell Gallery is one of the finest in all filmdom and their latest acquisition is none other than that wonderfully real story of city life, "The Price of a Good Time, in imitably transcribed to the screen by that greatest of woman producers, Lois Weber, from the story called The Whim" which Marion Orth wrote for the Cosmopolitan Maga- zine.
 It is a picture that all should see. the young and the Old-a picture that ma kGS you IauRn ana makes you cry, in fact no more vivid and dramatic story has ever been filmed. Kenneth Harlan, a former New Britain stock favorite is featured as the son of the millionaire. who tries to tighten the load of Linnie, the little salesgirl, a part most appealingly acted by Mill dred Harris.
 The story of this same Linnie, who is employed in @ mammoth depart ment store, and has never had good time in all her life, her father being a paralytic, her brother a soap-boX anarchist and her mother @ shrew. 1I is a story of life in the great big city "where nobody cares.'
 June Caprice m "A Camouhage Kiss" is seen in a comedy role much suited to her winsOmeness, supported by George Bunny and a big company of Fox funmal1ers. MT. Bunny who is resting up in New Britain after strenuous season in Fox movies, has consented to make a personal appear ance at Fox's this evening, and will have something of interest to tell Fox patrons.

VELATI0NS OF A WIFE:
By ADELE GARRISON

thought, bit wearily, that after my adventures of the week preceding my return home from Lillians l wouldn't be surprised at anything in the world that might happen to me.
 There might be a very real menace also in the presence of these mysteri- ous men in the house next door to me. Hidden securely in the old Chinese vase in my room was the important paper which my father had sent to Allen Drake through me, and which MT. Drake, after deciphering the code it contained, had given back to me, charging me to keep it safely until it should be required of me.
 A Stern Determination,
 l didn't understand in the least what possible reason there could be for some of the arrangements which had been made for the transfer and keep ing of this mysterious code. Why my father should have allowed so long a time to elapse between the day he sent it to me and his cable message instructing it delivered to Allen Drake. or why, when Allen Drake had once Geciphered it, he hadn't destroyed it instead of giving it back to me-these were questions over which I had puz- Zled my brain conSidera bly,, and the answers to which I had given up soIv- ing. Of two things I was sure. I was guarding the paper, and the clique of enemy spies in which Grace Draper was a leading spirit would stop at nothing to secure it if they knew it were in my possession.
 Suppose they had found out I had the paper and suppose the mysterious men who were to be my neighbors were the emissaries sent to secure ii! The thought made me shiver, although the day was balmy. The curiosity which had been aroused by Mrs. Dur kees narrative changed to a stern de- termination to meet my new neigh bors ace to face as soon as l could manage to do so.
 'Jll Just Do That"
 This was something easier planned than accomplished, however. The nvs- terious lessee had made another con dition with Mrs. Durkee one which had annoyed her inquisitive soul
 "I think it's a shame!" she had pouted. I'm not to get another glimpse of them. But one of the stip- ulations he made was that ] and my personal belongings should be out of the house before they arrive. The Japanese servant will reach here a day ahead of the others, and I'm to give the keys to him and then depart, bag and baggage. My handsome foreigner

explained this by saying that his uncle bear a chance encounter with stran- gers. But I'm beginning to think it's mighty fishy myself. I do hope they're net criminals in hiding. Why, Madge, and be bringing the body home in a trunk to bury in my garden.'
 Her eyes--round as a startled child s-bad held the beginning of real apprehension.
 What blood and thunder movie did you attend last?' 1 had mOcFed. "Why not imagine something worth while? They're probably the Car of Russia and a prince or two escaped from Siberia
 "Go along with you," she had am sWered pettishly. then with a quick resumption of good nature: But I say, Madge, come over tomorrow so that you'll be here when the Japanese servant arrives. We might as we'll give him the once over, as Alfred says" 'I'l just do that" I had returned gayly, but I had really meant the words.
 For despite the absurdity of the idea there had come a conviction to me that these mysterious strangers had chosen Mrs. Durkee's house be- cause it was next door to mine.

ROBERT WARWICK AT
 THE LYCEUM SUNDAY

Robert Warwicll's greatest motion picture success, "Thc Silent Master" 9, picturzatiOn of the world fam ous stage production, will be one of the big features of the program Sunday evening at the Lyccum theater, with Edna Goodrich, loved wherever the screen is known, as the other head liner, in "The American Maid Sun days program will be the biggest the theater has had in several weeks, be- ing choice collection of the best of ferings available. The Lyceum man. agement, through an arrangement recently made. will be able hereafter on Sunday evenings to give it's pa irons pictures of superlative quality with stars of the highest magnitude featured in them.
 Tn addition to the two big features mentioned, there will also be a wealth of other pictures, including new films, smaller features, comedies, and productions of Variegated nature, with each offering beyond reproach. Through this arrangement, the Lyce~ um will be the peer of Sunday evening theaters, just as it is the peer of local theaters other days in the week with it's big time vaudeville and nationally huOWI ul1IlS. Il uS hy C6uul OICu6SLId will furnish q concert of selected airs in addition to the picture show.
 WarWick's work in The Silent Master is one of the greatest char acter bits the screen has ever seen. As leader of a notorious gang of Paris ians whose lives were devoted to riehting the wrongs of society, he be- came known as the silent master" and lead the gang on to deeds that startled France. Then he introduces a chance acquaintance to the work ings of the Court of St. Simon, as the gang was known, only to cause de- velopme ents of a nature that compel attention and bring the picture to climax so startling that it takes sev- eral nom ments before the dramatic force of the situation is realized. Miss Goodrich, known as one of the stages greatest beauties and most famous artists is seen at her best in "The American Maid'. Sundays program may be pitted against any in the state and compare favorably.
 Tonight will witness the final pres entation of "The Sunset Trail' with Vivian Martin and the vaudeville that was presented Thursday and Friday. Continuous performance is in effect today. Monday, IueSQaY ana We'd nesday of next week will bring a complete change of program. the new picture feature being "The Floor Below. with Mabel Normand in the leading role. Those who saw her in "DodginG d NiIlion' will remember her even better than they did in her previous efforts with Chaplin and other artists.
 Miss Normand has a rich surprise in store for thoso who sec her next week. Tho vaudeville bill will bo ri gI1t up to the minute, with the Gill Ii Trio, two men and woman in one of the best novelty acts that is booked the United office Dave Clay CT, singing and talking comedian. and ''Thc Four Haymakers", in a rube act that is one continuous roar. There will be other features

 They Respect Their Habits.
 Many people seem to respect their habits. They appear to regard them as something admirable-not for any intrinsic value, but because they are theirs.

fact, very few of our boys were. Had little excitement couple of days off the Irish coast. Our chaper- on sighted something that was either a submarine, spent mine or drift ing buoy; gathered her little fleet to- gether; marched right out and had a wordy battle. To make a long story short, we either demolished our target or scared MT. Sub into more friendly waters.
 Got little peep at Mother Riley's old home town, just enough to see the green and debarked at an Eng fish port. Were met by Canadian band playing American airs. Played ''Old Kentucky Home" which affected me like a barrage of 1achymatory gas shells. Spent three days in an English rest camp. Rest? Oh! yes, we did rest-our stomachs. And too, the barracks were equipped with such comfy little cots made of three Ike pine boards raised from the floor on 2x4's Moved across the channel on a freighter with bunch of other horses and Englishmen. Were in an- other rest CD camp in northern France to bathe and clean up our equipment and then came the ride that we will never forget. Two days and two nights in side door pullmans stencilled Chevaux (horses) or 40 Hommes (men). However, enjoy ed it all. Everything was so new and interesting and the country so beau- tiful that we just absolutely forgot about our discomforts. Al will have nothing on me when I get back to the states-have even worn the polish off my nails.

 We are now in a very large Ameri. can Artillery training camp, almost as large as the one we left in the States, taking on our final polish. Our camp is built in a sandy pine forest. The sand is so lose and deep that we sink shoe-mouth deep at every step-like .wading in, snow. The climate is great. The days are warm and the nights very cool and we have a bit of rain most every day. Reminds me of Southern California

 Spent last Sunday afternon and evening in a large city nearby. Near ly walked my legs off trying to see all the sights during my short stay. By accident ran into a very large old cathedral, built in the seventh cen tury, just at Vespers time. The service was officiated by a Cardinal assisted by two bishops and several priests. T The building is of olid stone, inside and out with very high arched and domed ceiling-so high that one has the feeling of being if deep canyon. The pillars are about the size of California redwoods and the place is full of interesting dusky old paintings, statuary and shrines Their organ is wonderful and the music beautiful, male choir. Visited several wine shops and drank my vir blanc and win rouge on the sidewalk French style and then had dinner al a French restaurant, the first req meal I have had since I left the states. Tried one of their ice cream
