ADDRESS FROM AN Ally
Captain Renaudeau Of the French
High Commission ut Opera House
Sunday, March II.

The motto Of our state, United we
stand, Divided we FALL" is true in
a wider sense today than ever it was
before. For unless we stand without
wavering shoulder to shoulder with
the forces for civilization, freedom
and democracy against. barbarism
Imperialism and autocracy Just as
surely will we fall under the yoke of
the oppressor. The great common
cause, which unites us and our allies
the struggle to preserve our rights to
liberty and pursuit of happiness, lifts
every tiny hamlet out of the reach Of
province lism and makes. lis a part OF
the great cosmic force. Therefore il
Is now, Hands Across the Sea" in
deed, as well as hearts. So let us
greet this gallant French soldier as a
man and brother. Give a crowded
house and rousing welcome to this
distinguished son of our sister repub-
lie and in spirit of liberty, equality
and franternity let the Star-Spangled
Banner and La Marseillaese bring us
up standing
AT last, thank God! AT last we see
There is no tribal Liberty!
No beacon lighting just our shores!
No Freedom guarding but our doors |!
The fame she kindled for our sires
Burns now in Europe's battle fires!
The soul that led our fathers west
Turns back to free the worlds op-
pressed!

MANS COMMITTEE COUNCIL OF

TWO EXCITING GAMES
Played Last Night Between Girls and
Boys Basketball Teams Of N. II.
=. and Parls-GIrls Win and
Boys Lose.

The last basketball games of this
season were played last night when
Maysville lined up against Paris. The
girls basketball game started the
sport for the evening with Maysville
In the lead in the first half, displayed
some of the neatest goal shots and
clever guarding that has been seen
for several seasons. The first hall
closed with the score Of "a to IA in
Maysville's favor. The home team
lineup for the first half was Slye and
Keith, forwards; Farnsworth and
Wood, guards; Jones, center.
The second half opened with Paris
making number of clever goal shots
and winning a few points off Mays
vile fouls. Paris forged to the from
in the first part of the second
half, but Maysville held her lead ant
the game ended in victory for Mays
vile of a score of 81 to 30. The for
wards for the second half were Pogut
and Keith. Every one Of the Mays
vile players did commendable play
ing. Farnsworth should be compli
mented on the way she baffled her op'
ponent, Jones on the clever dodgine
and goal shots, Slye, Pogue and WOOD
on team work and Keith on clever
hard playing.
The boys game opened with Purdon
center; Dickson and Tully, guards
Thomas and Dawson, forwards. The
game was close and hOtly contested
Paris winning one point and Mays
vile next, and the first half CLOSED
with tie of 10 to 10. During the sec
ond half Paris forged to the front
Purdon was put out for personal foul
ing and Walker substituted. Immed
lately Maysville began to pick up ant
made several points, and it was clear
ly seen that If a substitution had been
made sooner, the score would have
ended in Maysvilles favor, instead Of
a victory for Paris of "a to 21.
Miss Frances Geisel was referee fol
the girls game and Roy Hampton re
feree for the boys.

EARLY MOVE BY JAPS

Washington, March 15-Aside from
press dispatches, Washington had no
information today on the decision of
the All-Russian Congress Of Soviests
at Moscow, ratifying the German
peace terms. Nothing had come eth
er from Ambassador Francis at Vol
ogda or the American Consul Cen
eral at Moscow.
II is believed that ratification Of the
peace terms will bring an early move
by japan in Siberia. Any move by the
Japanese, 1t is believed, would be
made chiefly as a measure of protec-
tion for japanese and American sup
plies at vladivostok There is no real
danger, official say. of German arm
lea moving that far East, but there is
a probability that supplies a vladyi-
vostok might be sent into Russia and
then find their way into German
hands.

WATER SITUATION
TO BE Discussed at Weekly Meeting
Of Chamber OF Commerce on Next
Monday Night.

The regular weekly meetings being
conducted by the Chamber of Com
merce for the purpose of discussing
the various problems confronting the
different divisions are greatly increas-
ing in interest.
When the order was issued by the
government declaring Monday heat
less day the meetings were changed
to Tuesday and have continued each
Tuesday evening. Next week the meet
ing will be held on Monday night at
1880 o'clock and will be in charge Of

Mr.. J. n Kehoe is chairman; ]. G..
Everett and E. NJ. Smith members.
The principal discussion of the even
ing will be the local water situation.
Several of our prominent men will
discuss the problem and it is more
than probable that some action will
be taken looking to a more satisfac-
tory water supply.

WESTERN
DRAMA AT LYCEUM

The feature attraction at the Lyce-
un for today and tomorrow is The
Flying God" starring the popular hero
ROY Stewart, in strong western rOl"
which gives tt is strong star full OPP
portunity to display his power as an
interpreter of the virilc western roles.
The story deals with the life of ranch
men and it shows the kind and help
full attitude of the rough men to-
ward an Fastener and his wife who
have been lott stranded in the prair-
les by a thief who has stolen their
provisions. The husband is i'll and is
journeying across the prairies for his
health. Red Saunder head of the
ranch takes the man and his wife in
and helps him. The Fastener
meets the thief who robbed him and
in self defense throws a mallet at
him and kills him. How Red and his
men save their friend and succeed in
having the prisoner discharged helps
to bring the story to a thrilling and
exciting climax. The new vaudeville
show is exceptionally good. 1t in
cludes three extremely good acts.
Arthur Lloyd, a comedy talking magi-
clan who sure does set you guessing.
The Tiller Sisters, two girls in a very
god comedy singing and talking act.
Echoes of Erin, two men and two
women in comedy Irish variety skit.
This act is a novelty and is out Of the
ordinary run of vaudeville acts, it is
full of humor and Irish wit Go to
the Lyceum and see an unusually
good show On the program there is
also a Keystone comedy, the Burton
Holmes Travelogue, and scenes of the
Allied warfare.

JUNE CAPRICE WILL
MAKE FAREWELL BOW

Mr., Frank Keenan, is the attraction
at Fox's theater today in a strong and
Virile drama entitled "The Coward -
The Gaumont weekly, Pathe como
dies and several other short features
complete the show. 1.-The Coward" is
q strong, gripping DRAMA and Mr..
Keenan's characterization is not per-
mitted to completely subordinate the
story as is often regrettahly done. His
great magnetism, however, is felt
throughout the pictures length. This
goes to prove that if a star really be
a star, his presence is felt and appre-
ciated even though he doesn't monop-
olize a great percentage of the close
ups; as is the case with so many Of
the near stars of the film world to-
day.
An item Of unusual interest in New
Britain theatrical news is the appear
ance at Fox's theater tomorrow of Miss
| June Caprice in her latest picture
Miss innocence This is the last time
that her New Britain friends will have
an opportunity to sec her, us this tall
ented and winsome Fox star at the
expiration of her present contract
which paid her $500 a week and a, bo-
nus on pictures finished ahead Of
schedule, volunteered to go to France
with a New York unit of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. When Mr.. Fox sent
for her to talk over a contract renew
al, Miss Caprice said that she did not
feel like making any more pictures
for the duration of the war; that she
had decided to go to France with the
New York Unit on August S but that
on her return she would be delighted
to talk pictures again with him. All
this, of course, means added interest
for her last appearance here tOmor-
row in Miss Innocence" q photoplay
that is like a breath from the cool
glens on a hot summer day. It gives
her a wider latitude than any of the
preceding plays she has been seen In
here. One forgets sultry weather i'll

through the various scenes of this
magnificent cast production.

KEENEY'S OFFERING A
BILL OF FEATURES

The photoplay Billie Burke is now
starring in created considerable talk
among society folks in New York. The
play tells of an extravaganza girl who
is cut short Of funds to supply her de
sires Ordinarily wealthy families
furnish every luxury for their daugh
ters. Billie's father does not believe
in what he calls society's fooEshness
and Billie is left to herself to find a
means to satisfy her extraVag giant
tastes From a society belle to a clerk
In a department stort then to fall into
the clutches of a band of crooks are
some of her experiences in Ewes
Daughter' Her father ashamed Of
himself for what he has done Wills
her his entire estate. Then Billie mar
ries the man of her choice.
AS an extra attra ction, the MANAGE
ment has secured Bluebird's big photo
play, Monroe Salisbury in The Guilt
of Silence, a play of the west.
Marie Walcamp, with lions, tigers
and elephants in the wild jungles once
more evades the villainous natives
who persist in trying to steal her for
tune. This episode Of "The Lions
Claws" has more than the usual num-
Der of thrills.
The Screen Magazine with 2 diff
ferent scenes is also shown.
The Universal Weekly again carries
the audience around the world to
where important military events are
taking place.
For the triple feature vaudeville bill

For whom do you dress :?


A friend of mine bought a new
gown last week. 1t was a very pretty
gown and she paid more for it than
she had meant to. Plainly she regard
ed it as q terrible extravaganza and
took that uncomfortable delight in it
which one does in such forbidden
fruit It was spread out on the bed
when she took me in to see 1t. AS
she finished showing me the excellent
points which had tempted her, she
said with her eyes shining, II can
imagine Alice when she sees me at the
tea next week. It's exactly the sort
of gown that will hit her hard She
thinks I'm going to wear that old
brown dress. I guess this will sur
prise her"
She Judges People by their Clothes.
Now, strangely enough, Alice is not
an intimate friend that her opinion
should mean SO much. She is simp-
Iy one of the 'crowd' who dresses
rather we'll herself and judges other
people largely by the way they dress.
And yet it was perfectly evident
that when my little friend 1ugglcd
her household accounts to be able to
buy that gown she had done it partly
to impress Alice.
It seemed absurd, and yet. as
thought 1t over it seemed to me that
most women have some particular
person or persons in mind for whom
they dress.
