 Shoulder Arms needs no intro duction, this being Charlie Chaplin's s greatest comedy yet offered to the amusement public. It is a travesty on the life of 8 soldier that is just packed with laughs. There is a lot that is humorous in the doughboy's life despite the serious work that is his, and in ''Shouldcr Arms' the three reels are' one continual roar, from Charllcs first day in the awkward squad until he goes over the top in a trench raid and comes back with the kaiser, Von Hindy, crown prince and all, to the American lines. Episode No. 15 of Tho Lightning Raider" brings this gripping Pathe serial to close and of course Wu Fang and his cohorts receive their merits Four acts of Fox vaudeville will complete this exceptional show.

From 1 1~2 to Z tons of ground linn estone, or it's equivalent in some other form of lime, should be used

Another Central Park Danger.

Friends of Central Park must ever
be vlgilant Many times they have
saved 1t from uses not coinciding with
the views of those who think of a
park as a park. It's friends have sue
cessfully resisted efforts to convert It
into race track. athletic field, fair
grounds, site for tenements, military
parade ground; they have beaten Off
those who longed to AL 1t with Coney
Island delights, popular priced hotels,
music halls, beer gardens.
Well done, so far. But schemes OF
more cunning are afoot, backed by
some OF our most forward looking
burglars, men of vision and sympathy
for the oppressed, who seek to con-
vert the park into their workshop,
their laboratory, so 80 say. This,
we grant, has seeming advantages :
it appeals 10 those many whose safes
IRE usually blown on the premises.
There's the danger. Popular sympa-
thy may be aroused In behalf of those
who are accustomed to have. their

Offices. apartments, houses musse1 mp
by safe blo&ings. Their preference
for the new idea of trucking stolen
safes to Central Park for explosive
purposes may bring a large public
opinion TO their support.
We grant, We say, some seeming
merit to such preference, and while
our sympathy is not withheld, we
maintain that civic pride, the need Of
open air spaces unblemished by shell
holes, should hold firm those who. to
save the park, are willing, as they
should be, to sacrifice their rugs, mu-
raj decorations, furniture, windows to
preserve our best known outing space
from the entertainments Of trade and
industry. Let an enlightened public
opinion force the return Of the fash
ion Of blowing safes on the premises
where they are found.

THE SENATES DUTY.
Another Point to Consider in Passing
on q League Of Nations.

To THE EbIroR OF THE SuN-sir: Your
editorial article on the league that was
TO be declares that Americans almost
without exception are ready to Join by
treaty in any concerted attempt to safe
guard peace providing always the result
promises TO be attained without the
sacrifice by the republic OF things more
precious TO US even than peace itself.
You seem. however. to limit tho sacri-
Ace to principles on which American
independence was established. But be-
sides this is there not another con-
sideration which bars acceptance OF any
league Of nations that Mr.. Wilson
peremptorily orders the United States
Senate 10 adopt?
Will you not give editorial considera-
ton TO the question whether the Re-
publican Senate can retain its self
respect and obey Mr.. Wilson's orders.

of courtesy?
Can the Republican party. which seems
to be once again destined TO save the
life OF the republic. submit to the inso-
lent dictation OF Woodrow Wilson and
crawl in tho dust at his lash. as does
mo DeHlOCTdtiC party, Will any Hope Va
election to its high mission IN 1920?
Beyond the mere matter OF establish
ing a precedent OF the servitude Of Con-
gress to the President. such an exhibi-
tion OF cowardice on the part of its
leaders will doom the Republican party
to certain. defeat at the polls in 1920.
No one really respects the Democratic
party at present Why, then. degrade
the Republican party to the same level?
" oodrow Wilson no more recognize,
that he was beaten last November than
do the Germans that they also were
beaten in the same month The Presi.

what's Gam bling?

The District Attorneys letter to the
police inspector of the Tenderloin on
the subject of gambling, or how to
know the violator of the law from
the mere amateur, may help Inspector
HENRY a lot, but we cannot find that
1t draws the line SO exactly that the
patrol wagon will always go unerr-
ingly on the trail. Mr.. SWAMI bases
his explanation upon the decision of
the Court of Appeals, which held that
members OF club, or their invited
guests, who occasionally participate
in games of draw poker at the club
and who do not derive any benefit
from the game through the medium
of a kitty are not common gamblers.
Why drag in "occa sionally"? And,
once 1t is dragged in, what does 1t
mean? Is occasionally once n week?
Are there not honest men who play
poker at their clubs and to whom
Occasionally" means every evening
and, II business at the office is slack,
some afternoons? Mr.. SWAMI, who
perhaps Is quoting from the Court of
Appeals opinion, describes the inno-
cent also as those who do not make
an habitual practice Of such particl-
pations lin club poker games] as a
money making pursuit" Is 1t not
habitual II a man plays poker at his
club three times every week? AS for
the money making pursuit, what
poker habitue, rich or poor, ever
played poker for the purpose Of
losing or breaking even?
| Mr.. SWAMI speaks only of poker
as the game Of chance which may be
INDUCED in occasionally for amuse-
ment or recreation" He adds, after
telling Inspector HENRY that the pro-
fessional poker clubs are not pro-
tected by the law, the following re-
striction on other games:
| Faro. roulette. chemin de fer and
craps are also prohibited"
OF course they are, when the cir
cumstances under which they are
played coincide with the circumstances
under which poker is unlawfully
played. But is craps per Sc more
wicked than poker? Is that form of
baccarat which Mr.. SWAMI specin.

Neglected Coupons ON Liberty Bonds.


Early this week It was reported
that the market price Of Liberty
bonds in San francisco was per
cent higher than the price in New
York. In answer to ambitious finan-
ciers who thought this discrepancy
might offer an opportunity for them
to get rich quick by buying bonds on
the Atlantic coast and selling them
at the Golden Gate Governor LYNCH
of the San Francisco Federal Reserve
Bank has been obliged to explain that
the higher price is offered only for
bonds with coupons which have fallen
due but have not been paid. OF such
bonds there are a great many, their
holders having neglected to collect
the interest Uncle SAM owes them.
Among the millions Of persons who
bought Liberty bonds were many thou
sands who knew nothing about securi-
ties. There have been numerous cases
in which owners of bonds have be-
lieved that they, and not the Govern
ment, were obligated to pay interest,
and some of these men and women
have actually tried to make such pay
ments. Others, with highly patriotic
purpose, have deliberately refraincd
from cashing their coupons, thinking
that by 50 doing they were relieving
the Treasury Of burden. The task
Of educating the new bondholders
has proved a stupendous one, and
great numbers of them do not yet ur-
derstand what they should do with
the interest money their investments
earn them.
Bondholders who do not need the
interest on their holdings have an
easy and helpful way TO get rid of
It. If it amounts to enough to buy
more bonds In the market they can
get Liberty bonds at bargain rates.
If 1t is not sufficient to pay for a $50
bond they can buy Thrift Stamps and
War Savings Stamps. Whatever they
do, the bondholders should clip and
cash their coupons and thus let
Uncle SAM keep his books cleared up.
