score a decisive hit with his ost of admirers. The picture is being shown at the Empire theatre today and to- morrow.
 The locale of Selfish Yates is, as in all of MT. Hart's pictures, a mining town with the inevitable dance hall and gambling den, that are part and parcel of such communities. The re- generation of Selfish Yates" through his love for Mary Adams, young, in nocent, trusting girl, is so different from the theme of any other story in which MT. Hart has been seen hereto fore as to make it a distinct crea- tion and he gets out of it all that was written into the Iart of Selfish Yates by c. Gardner Sullivan, the talented author, and more.
 MT. Hart makes of this role an ar tistic characterization dissimilar in every respect from any of his previ- ous portrayals. There are numerous dramatic situations ard all the scenes are absorbingly interesting and thrill ing. The picture was directed by Mr. Hart under the supervision of Thomas H. Ince. The photography by Joe August is of the highest artistic stan dard, while the support is wholly ade- quate and satisfying.

Fourthly, it would result from a German victory that the freedom of every American in commerce, in in dustry in travel and in the daily af- fairs even of life at home, would be endangered. The spread of German "Kultur" is announced as one of Ger many's war aims, the 'Kultur" which Nietzsche, himself a German philos- opher, declared to be surrounded by the spell and atmosphere of the Mid dle Ages" Their methods of making war have proved the justice of that hostile criticism. Their victory would be at once followed by the attempt to impose Mediaevalism upon the world.
 The defeat of Germany will mean for every American the personal sat isfaction of having destroyed another tyranny; of having freed the world from sinister peril, and the German People themselves from the incubus of Absolutism; of having cleared the
 ground for that League of Nations which alone can ensure the right of each and all to live peacefully accord ing to their own ideas; of having fought bravely and successfully once
 again in the Liberation-War of hu- manity,

WHAT THE VICTORY OR DEFEAT OF
 GERMANY MEANS TO EVERY AMERICAN

Contributed by Hamilton F'yfe to the National Security Leagues cam paign of Patriotism Through Educa- tion.)
 The victory of Germany means to Americans, first of all, bitter personal humiliation. It would mean that for the first time in their history Ameri- cans had failed in a task to which they had set their hands for the ad- vancement of human dignity and freedom.
 Secondly, the victory of Germany would inDict upon democracy, the principle of the government of peo- ples by themselves and for themselves, a disabling wound. It would disas- trously strengthen the opposing prin- ciple of irresponsible Autocracy or Oligarchy, the rule of one man, or a few men, against which every Amer ican has, since the founding of the na- tion, felt it is duty and privilege to fight.
 Thirdly, the victory of this principle would cast down the Monroe Doctrine, for the autocrat would surely stretch out his covetous fingers towards South America and would establish himself as the Paramount Power in that continent.

POLT'S

Probably the most sensational of all recent disclosures by government al sanction comes to Poli's theatre to- day in the from of a graphic pictorial recital of how poliomyelitis, or 1ntan- tile paralysis as it is commonly known, was spread in Bridgeport and elsewhere in the United States by Inn perial German design.
 Through the courtesy of William J. Flynn, former head of the United States Secret Service, this story is told replete with photographs of the men who conceived and executed the plan. It is shown as one of the epi- sodes of The Eagles Eye, which has the sanction of the government.
 This startling feature is in itself of sufficient interest to the public of Bridgeport, but it is supplemented on the Poli program of vaudeville and photoplay by other great and sensa- tional showings.
 The Seven Bracks, the worlds fore most risley artists, in a whirlwind ex- hibition of daring and dangerous skill, will perform with their full trouple.
 Willard and Marlin, most versatile duo, will offer new and strikingly funny specialties.
 Joyce, West and Moran present a novelty sketch that IS combined with cleverness and artistic device.
 Herbert Clifton, Broadway's best comedian, comes to Bridgeport for a special and limited engagement on the Poli circuit of theatres.
 On the screen J. Warren Kerrigan the most beloved of all carefully care less performers, will show in "A Mans Man" a story of the west, in which he has created an entirely new sort of Western parsonage. It is a novel, delightful and spectacular of fering to the eye.

Watches on Trim Ankles.

Residents of Newark, Del, suffered a shock the other afternoon when two wen-known young women appeared on Main street wearing ankle watches. There were several harrow escapes from accidents when drivers of auto mobiles forgot their wheels in the ex- citement of the moment.
 Nearly every store door and window held rubberneck and repeated calls of "What time is it?" but the young women did not seem to mind in the least the fQrore they were raising. They were neatly and attractfvely dressed. They wore low shoes, with black silk hose, the watches strapped to their trim left ankles. One old resi- denter who got a closer view of the watches remarked:
 "Well be -. I have read of such things, but never saw it before, and right here at home."

SaNinn the Pink Gun.

Three-year-old Buddie had a pas sion for pink. His latest craving had been for pink cup out of which to drink his milk. Indulgent auntie got such a cup for him, and he used it for days with great delight.
 One morning, however, he was late for breakfast, and some one had used the sacred" pink cup. Buddie said not a word; his silence was significant. Later when his mother was washing the dishes, he came close to her and murmured:
 . Mother, jes put pink cup on tor s'elf."
