MARY PICKFORD SUED.
Woman Agent Claims stSs,0O in
 Commissions on Salary.

New York, Nov 5.-For services enabling Mrs. Gladys Mary Moore, better known as Mary Pickford, to draw salary Of $1O,0OO a week for 104 weeks from June A, 1916, from the Pickford Film Corporation, Mrs. Cora Darlington Whitening, theatri- cal and literary agent, brought suit yesterday before Supreme Court Jus tice Delehanty and a jury to recov- CT $13S,O00 in com missions from the star. Mary Pickford's income for the last two years from the film com pany, the lawyers for both sides agreed, was $1,0o0,o0O. Mary took the witness stand, but played to a small house.
 Mrs. Whitening testified that the defendant expressed her inability to see why Charlie Chaplin was getting a higher salary than herself and agreed to pay the plaintiff 10 per cent. con- mission if the latter was successful in getting a better contract for her She told of her visits to a Benjamin B. Hampton and of Hampton's offer of S7.000 a week to Miss Pickford with a 30 per cent. ownership in a corporation to be named after her. The contract was never consummat- ed. The witness said she brought about a meeting later in her office be- tween William Randolph Hearst, edi- tor-publiSher, and the defendant.
 After several other dickers with film magnates Mrs. Whitening de- clared she was successful In ncgot1a- tions that resulted in Adolph Zuker of the Famous Players Film Corpora ton signing a contract with Miss Pickford, whereby the latter was to get $1o,0oo weekly, a bonus of $300, 900 and $40. 900 to recompense her weeks.

CROSS WITHOUT CONVOY
Three British Steamers Make Trip to America in Nine Days Minus Usual Protection.

An Atlantic Port, Nov 5.--Three British passenger steamships arrived yesterday from ports in Great Britain, bringing total of 395 passengers, The three vessels made the crossing without convoy according to the voyaSers. As a result theY made the voyage in nine days instead of 16, not having to run under reduced speed as usual because of slow units in con- voys.
 Among those who arrived on board the largest of the steamships was Captain George Stone Jarret, former ly Wall Street broker, who to use his own words, went to England on August II, 1914. to join the British E1peditionary Force flor the sport of it." He enlisted in the Fifth Loyal North Lanca shire regiment as a pri- Vate and rose to a captaincy two years ago. He was in almost every cam paign, from Ypres to Verdun, and did not get a scratch until four weeks ago when, in an attack in Brittany, six officers, seventeen men and forty five horses were instantly killed by the ex- plOsion of a huge shell over where he and his companions were. Captain Jarrett escaped even then with a minor scratch and shell shock. He is home on furlough and said that he hopes to have another opportunity at the front before the war is ended.
 With him came Charles F. Crosby, an Australian, a gunner in the Royal Field Artillery. Crosby's twelve months in the British service were divided into two training periods of five months each in Australia and England and two months in Brittany, ten miles from the front. He was never in action, but while far behind the lines a shell fragment took off his left hand.
 Captain J. J. Watt, of Aberdeen, a Catholic priest of the Diocese of Works, In Westminster, has been at the front since 1914. In September, 1915, at Vermelles an explodin shell injured the priests head terribly. For more than a year he was under the care of surgeons. He is hero to lec- ture and says that the only discom- fort he experiences from his injuries is a severe recurrent headache.
 Kao Kumasaki, Japanese consul general at Moscow en route home to Japan, said that he had information that the former Russian Tsarina and her daughters had been cremated in their residence in Siberia by the Bol- sheviki. The consul escaped from Moscow to Finland. The people in Moscow, he said, were so frightened that they remained indoors, but this precaution did not save them from the Terrorists, who entered their homes and dragged the inhabitants forth to be slaughtered in the streets, Mir. Jenkins, the American consul general escaped with M. Kuma saki, when the latter fled from Moscow.

From the Cincinnati Times-Sta
6CJHE death of Admiral Won Diede-
richs serves to remind US that
the incident in Manila bay,
when the German admiral for time
refused to obey the rules of war and
the restrictions imposed on neutrals,
was not due to the whim of the ad-
miral, but to the policy of the German
government. In the days of 1898 we re-
garded the act of Won Dederichs as
isolated, purely personal episode.
Apologies fastened with SO great a
spirit of cooperation to create this
Illusion among the American people,
that it is difficult not to believe that
German propaganda, with "the day" in
view, was even then insidiously work
ing among us. Certainly, as we turn in
retrospect to the events of the past
few years. we can interpret the swag
gering Of Won Diederichs as the pre-
cursor of the German attitude toward
the world when the day of full prepar
tion was at hand. Uninterrupted by us
at the time the mailed fist was clank-
ing ominiusly
But there was one who was able
adequately to interpret the incident 1t

Competition in Opera

F1F1 HE homely old adage that COM

applicable in many cases outside of
commercial endeavor.

Icertain cities where two or more or

where visiting orchestras have been

Organization has been put on it's met

ing public has enjoyed the benefit Of
the highest quality of performance.
Recently the Chicago Opera COM
pany concluded a two-week season
in New York. 1t is an excellent or
ganization, but as the Metropolitan
Opera house has long held foremost
rank in this country, many people
friendly to the Chicago company re-
garded the project of the windy
City" in invading the Metropolitan
field as hazardous. The venture
would, they thought, not only prove
!, a financial failure, but it was as
sumed that the Chicago artists would
suffer in comparison with the brilliant
forces of the Metropolitan Opera, and
the company in consequence lose
prestige at home.
But nothing Of the sort feared hap
Ipened. The Chicago engagement in
New York was great financial sue
cess and the operas presented were
so convincing artistically as to be at
lonce a revelation and distinct
triumph in operate achievement. The

PATRIOTISM AT IT'S ZENITH

From the Houston Post
When the general manager of the Hog
Island ship yard told the Senate com
merce committee that he had first asked
the government 10 per cent commission
on the know how to run a ship yard
and had later reduced the commission
to per cent because he found he could
gel no more, a senator asked:
You started as high as you thought
you might get and came down to what
YOU had to take?"
1T might be stated that way" adj
mitted the manager.
And the senator calculated, Patriot
ism at it's most glorious zenith.
Many reports from Washington show
that a good number of those who are
doing war work for the United States
are showing instances of the same pa
patriotism.
And a large part of the dissatisfac-
tor which is being exhibited by Amer
lean laboring men is due to that same
patriotism" The employers OF labor
cannot expect their workers to be more
pc triotic than they themselves are In
the old statement of the case. mo
stream may rise higher than its source"
And if the employers are grafters and
profiteers, they must expect that the
men doing the work will want their share

will be open to the central powers.
1t now remains to be seen what &C
ton Japan will take in Siberia. That
may prove one of the most momen-
tous developments of the war, but as
yet Japan has apparently reached no
decision, although intervention is ia
vored by France and Great Britain,
the United States tacitly disapprov-

she is now merely vassal of Ger

HOW PUTNAM DID 1T

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
Some writer RECEIVERS from the record
the following terse document signed by
old Israel Putnam. A man named Pal
mer serving under General Clinton, was
arrested as spy. He was found to De
a Tory who had been a lieutenant in
the British service. The writer quoted
relates that General Tryon OF the British
forces, demanded the lieutenants re-
lease and threatened vengeance If he
should be punished by the Americans.
But Putnam replied:
Sir: Nathan Palmer a Lieutenant in
your service, was taken to my camp as
spy: he was tried as spy: he was
condemned as spy; and you may rest
assured. sir, he shall be hanged as a spy.
I have the honor to be. etc..
