Ever since Mae Marsh became a
screen star, her plays have been re-
markable for one thing among many
| others; the harmonious work of her
supporting cast. The rule has not
been broken since the quaint actress
became a Goldwyn star From Tom
Moore, who plays the leading man,
to the kitten who laps up the milk
he spills OH the cold pavement, ev-
eryone concerned in the production
was so completely taken with her
charm that the many scenes staged
ran as smoothly as a clock
Mae Marsh makes point of taking
no more of the action than is called
for by the continuity, or working
manuscript. When her work is done,
she retires in favor OF other persons
on the scene and plays to them as
earnestly as they play to her. The
result is a cordial appreciation on
the part Of each member of the sup
porting cast and a pronounced 10y
atty that no one would dare violate
under pain Of censure.
In addition to her professional un-
selfishness, Miss Marsh is exceeding
ly unassuming in her private life,
and ever ready to extend word of
good cheer or helping hand to
those about her She is constantly
found giving little friendly aid to
some minor member of the cast who |
may have had little or no previous
studio experience, or earnestly dis
cussing the details of a characteriza-
tion with which some one has disa-
greed
1t is all personality one is told by
almost any player who has ever ap-
peared with Miss Marsh; and GER
tainly the entire supporting cast of
"The Cinderella Man" which includes
players of such distinction as George
Fawcett, Tom Moore and Alex B.

DIR. BRiSTOW CALLED.

The members of the Baptist con-
gregation in Abbeville have extended
call to DR.. Louis J. Bristow, the
former pastor of this church. DR..
Bristow was in Abbeville over Sun
day and preached twice for the con-
gregation. The call was extended
at meeting held after the morning
service.
1t is not yet known whether the
call will be accepted. DR.. Bristow
and his family left Abbeville reluct-
antly some years ago in order that
he might take up the work at the
Baptist Hospital in Columbia. others
having failed with the work. He has
accomplished the task set before
him of paying off an indebtedness of
about $4,000 outstanding against
the institution and has put it on a
paying basis. Having done this, he
has been contemplating for a year
returning to the ministry, his resig-
nation as Superintendent Of the
Hospital having been rendered some
time ago.
His friends in Abbeville outside of
the Baptist Church, as well as men,
bers Of the church hope that he will
accept the call which has come to
him. He was the leader In building
the beautiful church Of this congre-
cation in Abbeville, as we'll as in
building up the congregation itself,
and in no other place will he find
work where he will have more CO.
operation, and where he will meet
with as much success as among his
former supporters.

GlNNERS REPORT.

The. amount of cotton ginned to

port issued Monday morning, is g.
563,124 bales. The amount ginned
% the same date last year was g.
100000, or nearly 100000 more than

ear, and the indications are that II
will be shorter still this year.
The governments estimate of the
cotton crop for the present year will
be issued on Wednesday.
Notwithstanding the low figures of
the ginners' report, cotton opened
down on Monday morning some thir-
ty points. After losing another thir-

CASUALTIES YET
TO BE REPORTED
Many Not Communicated to Next of
Kin-Arrears in Major Casualties,
However, May Be Cleared Up
- Within Week.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE war de-
partment announced yesterday that
10000 major casualties, including
killed in action, died of wounds, died
of disease or other causes, severely
wounded and missing, have not yet
been finally reported to the next of
kin. The arrears in minor casualties
is much larger, it was added.
From cable reports expected, the
department hopes to clear up the ar
rears in major casualties within a
week, except for a few names with
respect to which Identification has
not yet been completed. The minor
casualties not yet reported to the
next Of kin represent slight wounds
involving relatively brief disablement
The official statement issued today
shows that of the total major casual
ties reported by General Pershing on
November 81, 50,92s have been re-
ported to the next of kin, with 1850
still to be reported. Of the 14,565
missing and prisoners Of war, sent in
by General Pershing, 1A,093 have
been reported to relatives, but Of the
1s9,955 total wounded, only 69,S41
have been cleared up finally.
The statement gives the following
official explanation Of the discrep-
ancy as to the wounded:
"Ten thousand men seriously
wounded and reported by cable are
being held up because of discrepan-
cies in initials or enlistment numbers
and 100000, less seriously wound
ed, including many slight ! casual
ties, are still to be drawn from the
hospital records which have been for
warded by courier from France.
"The records are not alphabetical
and the work is necessarily slow as
the same name usually appears more
than once. In one case a single name
appears in 20 different places. The
work upon these hospital records is
seriously delayed by the influenza
epidemic. =
The foregoing statement does not
cover all the discrepancies as will be
seen, but in dealing with SO great a
number Of cases it may be assumed
that the remainder is in process Of
checking and that reports will be
made within a few days as to all
identifable casualties"

Theo. N. Vail, Head of
Telegraph Co. Makes
Recommendation.
MORE LAWS NEEDED
TO PERFECT SYSTEM
Letter to Postmaster General Burle-
SON Says Arrangement Can Be
Brought About Without Dis
memberment of Properties
Cable Situation Grave.

Washington, Dec. 8.-Pooling Of
the telephone and telegraph facilities
of the country on the one hand and
the marine cable lines on the other,
each with comprehensive operating
organization under a single execu-
tive head, is recommended to Post
master General Burleson by Theo-
dore N. Vail, president Of the Am
erican Telegraph and Telephone
Company. In his letter, made pub
lie today, Mr.. Vail said the pooling
arrangement would be brought about
without dememberment of the pro-
perties and in such manner that
they could be turned back to private
ownership at the expiration of the
period of government control.
"What should be done to create an
ideal SYSTEM" said Mr.. Vail, "can
not be done because of existing laws,
nor would complete consolidation be
justified since to undo such a con-
solidated system into its former un-
it's would lead to unwarranted waste.
"There are, however, many things
which can be done which would pre-
vent waste and which might, by i'm
provement Of service, help to further
educate the public and create an ac-
lively favorable attitude toward
some correlation or coordination of
operation and service with the con-
troll and regulations and restriction,
through some combination of gov
ernment authority and private own
ership retaining all the advantages
and incentives of both.
Mr.. Vail, who is acting as conf
Dental adviser to Postmaster Gener-
al Burleson in the control Of the
wire communication system taken
over by the government, discussed
the land and marine wire organiza-
tions separately. If the United
States, he said, is to become a COM
mercial and industrial world center,
an American cable system consonant
with the obligations and opportuni-
lies of the country must be organ
lied.
