Such were the phrases which emanat-
ed from Charles Moy, a Chinese laun-
dryman in North Fourth street when
approached and asked to buy a Liberty
bond of the third issue Did Charley
buy? He did. He told the solicitor
that business was poor and that he
could not save $50 year but still and

In presenting to him the idea of
deposltlng a dollar a week for fifty
weeks to become the owner of a Lii
berty bond no little explanation was
necessary. That he was to get his
money back after ten years seemed a
surprise, but after a short while the
light dawned and Charley signed his
name on the dotted line. His skin NAV

"The Fringe of Society,"" starring
Ruth Rowlands is a Classic offering
tonight. A New York city newspaper
editor, whose inherent taste for Ii
quor is hereditary, has allied him
self with progressive men and women
to save drinking-inclined people from
themselves. This editor, Martin
Drake (played by Milton Sills), is
believed by his wife, and by all others
who know him intimately, to be a to-
tai abstainer. His wife, Esther Drake
(played by Ruth Roland), has discov-
cred that whenever she drinks any
thing alcoholic that her moral fibre
undergoes a change. Martin Drake be-
lieves that his wife has never tasted
anything Of an Intoxicating nature
just as she is of the opinion that he
never has. 1t is this striking situation,
established at the start of the picture
that imparts gripping suspense to the
story Of ''The Fringe of Society,"
whose scenes are laid in New York
city.

RAILROAD HEADS ACCUSED
Attempt to Discredit Federal Opera
ton and s-Hour Law Charged
by Union Officials.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Traffic con-
gestion throughout the country was
blamed on the railroad arrangements
today at the railroad wage hearing by
union leaders, who said the manage
ments desire to discredit operation of
the 8-Hour Law and to make govern
ment operation Of the roads a failure.
W. G. Lee, president Of the railroad
trainmen, said he had evidence that
veteran railroad men were replaced by
inexperienced employees at important
gateways, that engines had been al
lowed to freeze up over night and that
train crews had been called out and
kept waiting until the 16-hour law
overlook them before being sent out
Of the terminal.
Asked by Chairman Lane OF the rail-
road wage commission who was re-
sponsible for these things, Mr.. Lee
said he believed he could trace II back
to about four banks in New York
City, which control railroad financing,
If he wished TO seek the real cause.

ferrous and exaggerated statements"

soldiers abroad.
Senators Williams of Mississippi

piled, opposing the war reorganization

dent Wilson's authority. The former

undertaking this administration" and
asserting that efforts to force the bills
are futile because of certain execu-
tive veto. urged cessation of agitation
While praising Senators Hitchcock
and Chamberlain as unimpeachable
patriots, Senator Reed, another mill
tary committee member, argued that
the war cabinet bill is unconstitutional
and praised the governments accom-
plishments in the war, asserting that
admitted deficiencies are minor COM
pared TO the magnitude of achieve
ment
The discussion is to be renewed to-
morrow with a speech by Senator
Wadsworth of New York, a RepubIi-
can committee member, in support Of
the war reorganization legislation
Among other senators planning ad-
dresses are Thomas of Colorado and
Kirby Of Arkansas, Democratic mem
bers OF the committee, and Chairman

MAY TRAIN WITH THE BRITISH
American Troops May Soon Appear
With "Tommies" on Flanders Front,
Says Washington Report

Washington, Feb. American
troops may appear in British trenches
on the Flanders front as a result OF
studies now being made here and in
Europe
II the project suggested is carried
out, American units would be passed
through the British training system
from receiving camps to finishing
courses in front line trenches, draw
ing supplies and equipment from Brit
ish sources, until graduate batta1ons
were withdrawn for incorporation in
General Pershing's army The sug-
gestion came from British officials. It
is still under consideration at the War
Department, but final action probably
resest on recommendations of General
Bliss, who is considering It IN con
ference with the supreme war council.
