Armistice Meeting Was
Halted by Agreement
fBy Associated Press,

PARIS, March S.-An official note
issued today says that statements ap-
pearing in the press seem to give the
impression that the breaking off of
negotiations at Spa between the al
lied and German missions was due to
the initiative of the French delega-
ton. 1t is declared that this is un-
true. The allied delegates were under
the craftsmanship of Admiral Hope,
of the British navy, and it was the
agreement that they decided to re-
turn to Paris and report to their re
spective governments, it is said.

 Mortimer's first appearance in the movies was with another director now producing for Selznick- Pictures, Herbert Brenon. Brenon was looking for man who could handle three masted schooner in "The Watch Dog If the Deep" and Mortimer was handy. He made good, and was en ragged for Brenons spectacular pro- iuction of "Neptune's Daughter.
 After leaving Brenon's company Mortimer was impressed with the fact that in most of the picture pro- !uctions, little care was taken with sittings, and was one of the first to see the opportunity for technical shoulders of the principal director Tn this capacity he worked at the Peerless studio, and here he attract ed the attention of MT Capellani who seized him when he joined the Selznick organization.
 Mortimer is regarded as an un usually valuable man in the studio as he is a close student of detail, and is tireless in his painstaking atten tion to the innumerable small details which go to make photoplay perfee ton sssf Asf 9F

HAST CHANGE TONIGHT TO SEE TOM MIX
 AT THE ORPHEUM. 4

The last showing of the William Fox photoplay Western Blood" with Tom Mix as the star will be given at the Orpheum Theatre tonight. One point about this picture that makes it interesting is the manner in which it shows the real cowboys and theil life on the plains and in the bis towns.
 Especially amusing are the antics of the cowboys in full dress suits They are carefree in flannel shirts but, oh, those boiled shirts to bother them.
 The love interest in this play is well carried out

Dorothy Dalton's excellent screen work in "The Mating of Marcella, her latest Paramount Picture, won the hearty admiration of her many admirers at the Coliseum Theatre 10 be repeated again tonight for the last time, where the picture was pre- tented last night. The story of the photoplay, which was produced un der the supervision of Thomas H Ince, is one whose scenes shift from New York to Reno, Nevada, and back again. The drama affords a splendid contrast between the frivolous show girl, type of the Great White Way,
 ands the warm-hearted, coarageous American girl type that predomin- ates throughout the country.

ABOUT CHATEAU-TTIIERRY

He believes that Foch had played his
last card, and that if a single marine
had faltered the world would never
again have been safe for democracy.
This is one of the prices we pay for
propaganda. At first a kink in the
army's censorship rules-which allowed
the word marine" to be mentioned,
but no Identification of any other out
fit-gave more than due credit to the
two gallant regiments of soldiers of the
sea. Later, little more light was
let in, and a share of the glory was
spread around the Ninth and Twenty
third infantry. and to the artillery and
engineers of the Second division.
Then it was further disclosed that
the credit for the fighting in the city
of Chateau Thierry itself belongs to
French troops and to men of the Third
division. No Second division man ever
got into the town unless he went there
on a pass, or AWOL.
If we keep on letting in the light, 1t
will be discovered that French divi-
sion held the front from the western
borders of Chateau Thierry to the east
ern limits of the Second divisions Sec
tor and that horizon blue uniforms
were, in fact, standing up to the music
along 80 per cent of the Soissons-Cha-
teau Thierry Rheims line. They were
not all demoralized either. They had
been fighting the Boche for nearly
four years. and still were, as they ex-
pressed it, "a little bit there The
way the Yanks were fighting put heart
into all the other allies, for those were
dark days; but no A. e. F. man with
spark of fair play left in his system
will declare that the poilus and others
all along that line had given up the
ghost.
Z Here is where the propaganda
stepped in. He figured things this
way: If the Germans, knowing, that
more Yanks were arriving at the rate
of 100000 men in a month, could be
made to feel that America was already
playing a giants part in administer
ing that licking in the Chateau Thier-
ry pocket then the hopelessness of
trying to stand up much longer against
the power of the allies would sink into
the consciousness of even the thickest
of square-heads.
All the allied propagandists played
up the battle of Chateau Thierry. The
Americans themselves did not lay ON
the colors any thicker than the French
did, or the English did or the Italians
