OTIS SKINNER COMING

Otis Skinner in The Rise OF Peter
Barban" comes to the Strand thcater
Monday and Tuesday evenings. De-
cember Sth and 9Th.
1.-The Rise OF Peter Barban" Is "a
brand new comedy In Il prologue and
three acts which will serve not only
to introduce Mr. Skinner in a new
role. but also his wife. Mrs Maud
Skinner. as a playwright. for II was
Mrs. Skinner. who. IN collaborating
with Jules Eckhert Goodman. wrote
the piece.
The story of the play has been
kept more or less secret, but il Is
known. that the scene OF the prologue
is laid In a court house in a small
town in Western Pennsylvania and
that the scenes of the succeeding
three acts are all In. or about Peter
Barbau's home in California. II is
known. too. that the story told by the
play In intensely dramatic and has to
do with the passionate love Of an
italian father for hts only daughted
and g bis. setf.sacrt o. lns >. deAotsess 4sa
here. 1t Is this Italian father whom
Mr.. Skinner impersonates and, as
may be imagined, the character is
another OF those romatic, highly col
ored figures that the popular actor
draws SO skillfuily and SO delightful
ly.
The play lends itself to picturesque
scenic inyestifure and OF this OPP
portunity Charles isrohman, Inc,
have taken full advantage. They
have also organized especially
fine company to appear with Mr.
Skinner. One very important role
will be played by o. B. Clarence,
noted English actor. who has come
to America for the first time in many
years rust 10 play In this piece
Another leading member Of the cast

ed actresses on the American stage.

Trade during the month Just closed
has been good as a whole, though
some disturbing conditions have been
evident. Wholesale trade in staple
commodities has been good though

usual.
Retail sales in seasonabie commod :

appears to apply more to necessities
than to luxuries. The demand for
pleasure automobiles Is undated and

regiments in the Rainbow division.
none distinguished themselves more
than the 1s8th from Iowa.
The Iowa contingent figured largely
in the fighting which reduced the st.
Mihie' salient early in September The
terrain over which the engagement
took place was most difficult of ap-
proach and treacherous.
Nothing had passed over the main
highway for four years. All was hem
med in by barbed wire. Bridges were
destroyed and the ground had been
SCARED and furro1ed by great shell
holes.
Officer after officer was killed IN the
fight, but always somebody le3ped into
the breach, and the Irresistible tide
swept on. The toll was fearful but
the detectives were all gained. It was
the fighting in this sector which con-
WINGED the Germans the Americans
might not only be a factor but the de-
Gliding factor.
There were many citations resulting
from the ST. Mihel battle
Among them were the following:
Sergeant James r. Clark, Council
Bluffs. took charge Of platoon after
second lieutenant had been killed and
carried it forward: Corporal Ferdinand
II. II. Prien, OF Mlneola. charged two
machine guns manned by fourteen Ger
mans, killing three and capturing elev-
en-; Lieut. James G. Bonham, Council
! Bluffs, led in the jump off and gained
the German first line positions, taking
100 prisoners.
Capt Percy A. Lamson, Council
Bluffs, led an attack thru the Bos de
Ia Sonnard, capturing guns and con-
solidating positions; Private Arthur
Phelps OF Henderson. after all other
messengers had been killed or wound
ed, volunteered as runner and main
tanned the liaison, which played a
| large part in obtaining the victory.
| Sergeant William y. Tittsworth, Of
Avoca, bravely organized the reserve
rifle squads in the Bots Sonnard and
pushed them forward; Corporal Carl r.
| Anderson, of Sioux City, outflanked
! the machine gun positions on the edge
Of the wood under heavy fire; Corporal
Roy E. Mowry Of Council Bluffs re-
peatedly charged machine gun posi-
lions with such high courage and
Judgment that he received special

SCORES USE OF ARMY MEN.
Congressman Green Of Iowa. Objects to
Europesn Police Duty.

Washington. Jan. S.-Rctention or
drafted and national guard soldiers for
police duty IN I.uropO was described as
transcription in time OF peace" ny Re
preventative Green, Of Iowa, in speech
in the house. He spoke in favor OF his
hill providins that tho army OF occupa
ton should consist entirely of regulars
and volunteers and should he limited
,p ten divisions or go, 900 men.
Referring Ia reports that an army OF
occupation Of t1:rt}-t1o divisions vas
% DC maintained in Europe. Represen-
'1tivC Green said.
TO say thai the people OF the coun-
'~y are surprised at these figures IS
putting I mildly. The country had
been expecting that all not enlisted
for a definite term would he discharged
as soon az possible after peace became
an eStd .lished fact. even tho II had not
been officially proclaimed.
1t seems. however. that what might
q called a joker crept INTO the selec-
tive service bill, whereby instead OF
being enlisted for the duration of the
war soldiers were taken during the pc
Rod of the existing emergency. The
emergency then existing is over, but
the language permits the president 70
put any construction he desires upon
IT,
The effect has not been only 10 fill
with gloom the hearts OF thousands OF
patriotic citizens who were first to
offer their services by volunteering or
being in the national guard but to
plunge into dependency thousands OF
others who thought that peace would
bring the return of their loved ones,
and relief from the burdens Of war.
Under no fair CONSTRUCTION could
the seleCtive service law possibly be
construed to cover a period beyond the
| declaration Of peace. 1t is equally
clear that the war department has no
intention OF so constituting it and that
it is the intention Of keeping a great
! army in Europe for an indefinite pc
| riod.
This is simply CONSUMPTION in t-ne
! OF peace. and l am utterly opposed to
| it. so far as any such army is made
up of drafted men. The war depart
ment has the power but it has no
right to detain these men indefinitely
