by land and sea, gunpowder and gas
caused nearly 100000 deaths among
the belligerents.

or 100000 persons in the United
States along, causing a national loss
OF 100000 years of life and an
economic waste estimated at more
than $S,000.000,000. Throughout the
world it is estimated that influenza
claimed in the last six months 5000
GOO lives, and it is still raging.

"WHEN ROGUES FALL OUT. "

The private insurance bunch got
into a pix-up downsat the state cap
ttal the other day over reducing the
guarantee for private insurance COM
panies to do business in this state
from 100000 to $4,000. The old
liners wanted the guarantee to re-
main at 100000. They represent
the strong companies and they want
to make it hard, impossible II they
can, for new company 10 START busi-
ness in this state
Some pretty strong talk was in
obliged in between w. A. Kerr the
attorney for the old liners and c. H.
Van Camper, their veteran legisla-
tive lobbyist, on one side, .nc E. C.
Liedel of Duluth, representing the
new inter-company plan. 1t was a
veritable Fourth of July celebration
of the good old times with pyro-
techics shooting to the rafters of the
Capitol building.
IT there is anything to the hack
neyed saying that when rogues ra;l
out honest men get their QUE" the
workingmen of this state ought to
profit from the controversy between
these profit mongers on broken bones
and crushed bodies of unfortunate
laborers. Now lie: the legislature
pass the state insurance bill and it's
members will not be further bothered
by this bunch who come before II
every two years to have their soiled
linen laundered.

PALACE


"The Market OF Souls" Dorothy
Dalton's latest photopIay comes to
LOew's Palace for the full week, be-
ginning yesterday, with all the di-
rectoral reputation OF Thomas H.
Ince in its support.
Miss Dalton assumes the role OF a
New York girl from upstate named
Helen Armes, who comes to Manhat-
tan as q nurse, and is introduced TO
Broadway at a New Years cabaret
revel, a scene which for magnitude
and lRvishness Of detail has rarely
been equaled on the screen. Here
she meets Temple and Lyle Bane, the
latter a dissolute sensualist who has
contracted an AFFAIR with Mrs.
Evelyn Howell, with whom Helen is
living, and the former a wealthy man
who Is cynically scOrnful Of women.
Temple Bane quarrels with his broth
er over Helen and in the fight that
follows Lyle Bane's statement that
Helen Is a woman OF low character,
Temple is blinded. Helen is sent to
nurse back his sight. Temple Bane
RECEIVERS, only. to recognize Helen
and 70 remember his brothers con-
temptUOus remarks about her.
From this point forward, the photo
play unfolds the story OF the inno-
cent girls fight to clear her name
OF the stigma that was cast upon IL
by Lyle Bane in revenge for repuls-
ing his advances.

METROPOLITAN.

The World and It's Woman" a new
photOdrama by Thompson Buchanan
and a subject that will be recognized
as one Of the distinctly notable
achievements OF the year in silent
drama, was revealed for the first time
In Washington yesterday before ca
pacity crowds at CrandalPs Metro
pOlitan Theater, with Garaldine Far
rar and her distinguished husband,
Lou Tellegen' pictured ip the stellar
roles.
The basis Of the play is found in
the narrowing experiences Of a young
American girl, daughter Of a mining
engineer, who is reared in Russia.
Being possessed OF a voice Of rare
promise this little Marcia Warren Is
made the protege Of Prince Michael,
father Of son OF Marcia's age. The
two children become inseparable COM
panions. After years, during which
the exactiOns OF court life and ardu-
Gus preparation for a career in opera
have separated the childhood sweet
hearts, they meet again and renew
the affection Of earlier years.
Then comes the revolution and en-
suing debacle, which plunge the ac-
tion into the sUrEing torrent OF world
events and give the play the magni-
tude and the sweep Of epochal drama.
The means whereby the singer and
the prince elUde the deathsmen Of the
revolving prOletariat furnishes a
touch Of vivid melodrama that IS as
stirring as anything ever shown upon
the screen.
Geraldine Farrar has never before
reached such glorious heights Of artis-
tic attainment as in this picture. Lou
Tellegen, too, throwing Of the cloak
OF aUsterity which he customarily af-
fects, contributes a splendid drawing
Of the prosecuted noble reduced to
the penury Of the peasants.
