 Thus do we mediate and marvel af the mystery of life and death when we are in the presence of death-especially if we encounter it in the great shadows of the ferest-out where there is noth- ing to interrupt us, out where reigns that which gives life and which re- calls it.

Dear Patron:
You've seen Bill Heart as a bad
man; you've seen him as a sheriff:
you've seen him on a bucking broncho;
and you've seen him in evening
clothes.
Now you are going to see Bill a.
a convict. Oh, yes, you've seen E."
land in prison before, but you've ne
ers seen him in a picture that r~evovles
around all hat theme.
Bill is going to make you get into
the soul Of a f~ourteen-year termer
who has spent ten long years behind
the bars: years that have left thei,
mark, and taken everything from him
but his great faith in the woman he
loves: his wife.
At the expiration of his tenth year
he is paroled and walks once more
into the world of living men. He
knows that he will find his wife and
his pal ready to welcome him.
]. His pal is waiting with outstretched
hand; but the wife-the wife has mar
RED the man who sent him up.
You'll want to see this p~hotoplay.
It comes here today, It's an Aircraft
picture, and it's name is 1.-THE Poppy
Girls Husband"
Sincerely yours,
P. E. SCHILLING, Mgr.

SEAS BUFFET BIG LINER

New York. Dec. 25.-Despite excep- tionally rough weather, the steamship Mauretania arrived here today from Cherbourg, France, after run of less than seven days.
 More than 1,500 passengers were on board, and from some of them it was learned that last Monday the yes sel suddenly drop from the top of a mountain high wave into a deep trough of sea. The shock of the inn pact caused the big liner to shake from stem to stern. Many of those on board say that she went completely under.

ENTENTE CHECKS
 GERMAN TONNAGE
Final Ratification of Peace Pro- tOcol Awaits Notification of Figures-Von Lersner Says Germans Desire Peace.

Paris, Dec. 25.-The final date of the repeatedly postponed exchange of ratification of the Versailles treaty now depends upon the speed with which the allied missions in Germany can verify the German figures of avail able floating dock tonnage demanded by the allies as compensation for the sinking of the German warships at Scapa Flow. The Associated Press was informed to this effect today at the headquarters of the German peace delegation.
 Baron von Lersner, head of the German representatives, said he thought this would take at least 2 fortnight, if not longer, in view of the difficulties of transportation in Germany and the details involved in verifying the figures.
 "A decided misunderstanding is re- fected in the Paris press during the last two days regarding my projected trip to Berlin, which I subsequently, abandoned" he said. My object was to hurry, rather than to delay, the putting of the Versailles treaty into effect. From Monday night until Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock l was deprived of any communication with my government by either tele- graph or telephone, in consequence of which Berlin had no knowledge of the entente note or of the verbal commun- ication given on this subject by M. Dutasta (secretary of the peace con ference) until this morning.

MEXICAN GENERALS. ACCUSED OF GRAFT
Said to Use Military Trains to Transport Fuel and Merchan- disc Military Trains Haul Wood. ss

Washington, Dec. 25.-The alleged continuance of graft in Mexican mill tary circles and the growing openness of it's practice has so aroused the civ ilian population that the government has been forced to act in a measure to curb it, according to advices from Mexico City today.
 It is reported that when it became known that General Murguria, in com mand in the northern part of Mexico, was being allowed 25 per cent in re- bates for the transportation of wood, charcoal and merchandise on his mili- tary trains, the public complaint was such that the permission was cancelled by the government It then devel- oped, according to the advices, that this form of perquisite was granted not only to Murguia but to practi- cally all commanders of divisions and even to some lesser officers, who had military trains at their disposal
 The method of operation, the ad- vices say, was to attach several freight cars to the military trains and to load them with goods that were demanded in the cities. This not only deprived the government rail roads of legitimate source of income, but it worked an even greater hard ship on the Indians and peons, thous- ands of whom depend for living up- on the sale of wood and charcoal in Mexico and who have to transport their produce on their own backs or on mules or burros. Complaints are now being voiced in Mexico City be- cause of this alleged outrage, which is said not to be confined to any one district, but to be practiced through out the republic whenever a military commander has a train at his dis posal.
 General Cosio Robelo and General Mendoza, in the states of Mexico and Morelos, and in the federal district, have trains at their disposition for the quick transportation of troops to pursue bandits and rebels. It is open ly charged in the Mexican capital that these generals have been using their trains continuously for the haul ing of supplies for market, especially wood and charcoal.
 In all parts of Mexico adjacent to cities the country is being deforested, it is said, as the military commanders, who do not own the land, are paying
