suffrasette Story Featured.

This five reel World-Picture en-
titled 1.-THE Praise Agent" at the
Princess recalls the period but a few
years back, when the Suffragettes ap-
peared at public meetings, with flying
banners and vigorous propaganda fol
their cause. The subject Is light and
agreeable in character, and, while not
Overlooking strongly in plot, has the
merit of gaining interest as 1t pro-
ceeds. 1t deals entertaining and with
out unpleasant satire with the fight
made by the Suffragettes,
Arthur Ashley makes an engaging
hero and Dorothy Green is pleasing
as the heroine. The hero, Jack Bart
ling, is a theatrical press agent tenn
porarily out of a job, who annexes
himself to the Suffragette cause and
wins the patronage of the heroine's
mother. He pulls off brilliant coup
by posing as window washer IN or
der to gain admission to their hotel.
This, and his soap coupon campaign,
bring the story to a rising climax.

At Last That Meal
Ticket is COPIED

BY hitting the ball far into center
field for home run, Pete" Nefflen
yesterday evening won the free meal
ticket offered by Harvey's restaurant
and the case of Bergo offered by
Frank Murphy for the first home
run made in the city league.
In recent games three base hits
have been numerous, but none of the
players have been able to stretch
their hits into a home run. The blow
yesterday evening was clean one.
1t is the fourth home run that has
been made in the City league this
season. R. Long of the Monongah
Glass has made two home runs and
Clays Mills of the Mining Machinery
has made the other.

TRIBUTE 10 WILSON
BY ENGLISH PEOPLE
PRECEDENT HAS BRILLIANT RE.
CEPTlON WHEN HE ARRIVES
At LONDON.
The official CerennoniaIs CoIored With
Touches Of Medieval Pageantry,
Two Million People Crowd
ino Streets fer Procession.

LOndOn.-The great moment Of
President Wilson's first day in Eng
land was when he stood with the king
and queen and Mrs. Wilson in the
balcony of Buckingham palace on
Thursday, December 20, facing null
titude which stretched down the Mall
to the admiralty, half u mile distant,
and overflOwed st. James park on one
side and Green park on the other.
Only corporal's guard could hear
the presidents brief speech, but the
people, who had demanded that he
show himself, gave him greeting
more clamOrous than any other guest
of the nation has commanded within
the memory of the oldest LOndoners
The days events constitute trib-
ute to the president and the United
States which will be historic. The Of
fetal ceremOnials-a reception by the
Dover corporation and the navy; the
welcome ut the station by the royal
| family and the chief officials of the
empire, and the state progress
| through the heart of LOndOn-were
| colored with touches of medieval pag-
eantry, even to the crimson-cOated
beef-eaters from the Tower, bearing
| halberds, which the British people
cherish.
That the central figure of the royal
procession in quaint state carriages
attended by military escort and
household officials, should be civil
ian wearing black coat and silk hat
gave flavor of novelty to the scene
But the assembling of the people
was spontaneous. That was the CHIEF
note of the day. There had been nc
time to erect stands, and windows
were not advertised for rent. The
people simply flocked in from al
quarters afoot, in motors and othel
vehicles, carrying flags and theil
lunches, and standing for hours in ths
cold for a chance to get sight of the
president.
It was gathering principally o.
the plain people; the others were II
the country for the holiday. 1t was
diverse and picturesque throng sucl
as few capitals can muster, with
large element of soldiers, among whom
the cOlonials and Americans seemed
conspicuous and popular, detacf
ment of wounded from the hospitals
attended by nurses, getting larg
share of the cheers.
It is estimated that 100000 peopl
crowded the two miles of street
through which the state processio
passed. These were canOpied wit
flags and bunting and, amid the thur
dering of the saluting cannon, tn
President of the United States recei'

SINKING Of SHIPS
NOT ON PROGRAM
SECRETARY DANIELS OEClAnCS
HE KNOWS NOTHING OF PROPo-
SAL TO DESTROY HUN NAVY.
First Suggestion Of Plan Comes iron
London as one Possible way OF
Settling a Very Vex'n9
Problem.

Observation-Disclosures dispatches from
Paris saving that the American peace
delegates, with British support VIII
urge the sinking of the SURRENDERED
German warships as the solution ol
their disposition, led to INITIATION vi
stems in the senate on Thursday TO
obtain an official statement OF the
facts and to wide discussion IN ha'ai
circles. At the state and navy depart
ments no information was availaDle'
Secretary Daniels repeating his pre-
yiOus statement that he had never
heard the suggestion officially, whlie
at the state department 1t was sald
that so far as known there no such
project was included in the American
peace program.
The first published suggestion that
the ships be sunk came from London
several days ago, but even before that
it was learned, this has occurred to
some naval authorities here as one pos
sible way of settling veXing problem.
Admiral Benson, chief of naval oper-
atoms, and designated as naval adviser
to the American peace delegation, has
been in Europe some time. His views,
worked out with Vice Admiral Sims
and officials of the British admiralty
and the French ministry Of marine,
| will have great weight with the Amer
lean delegates OH naval questions aris-
| ing at the conference, but there is
nothing here to indicate what conclu-
sion he may have reached on the dis,
= position of the surrendered craft.
There were many indications that a
proposal to sink the ships would meet
strong opposition in congress.

STATUS0F NATIONAL
GUARDSMEN LOST.
MILITIA FORCES OF STATES RI
BECOME CITIZENS WHEN DIS.
CHARGED FROM SERVICE
Secretary Baker Declares IL conores.
Determines to Continue National
Guard, Service Will Have to Be
Reconstructed From Ground lin

WashingtOn.-If congress determines
to continue the national guard as the
army reserve Of the nation, Secretary
Baker said Wednesday, the guard SCR.
vice will have to be reconstructed from
the ground up. LIBERALIZATION of tha
guard for war service, the war deport.
ment has held on the opinion of Brig
Gen. Samuel Il. Ancell, acting INDIA
advocate general, will wipe out of ex.
istence the federalized regiments.
When the men are discharged thew
| will return to civilian life without anv
| obligation either to the federal or
state governments to continue in M.
tiOnal guard service.
| Mr.. Baker expressed belief that
the problem Of the national guard is
bound up closely with the question of
what congress may do later in fran.
ing legislation to establish perma-
nent military policy. Should some
system Of universal military training
be worked out, army officers said, it
is probable that the national guard
would cease to exist. The war depart.
ment has not as yet made any recon-
mendatiOns on the subject.
There are many national guard units
organized since the war by the var-
Gus states which are not affected by
the war departments ruling. In some
cases federal recognition has been OBJ.
tained, bringing the units under the
liberalization sections of the act of
1916.
The great mass of the guard, how
ever, was merged into the temporary
forces of the army of the United
States for the war, thereby completely
losing it's identity.
