conviction obtained by MT. Cummings in the case of State vs. Fair is readily called to mind. The conviction of second degree murder in the case of State vs Louis BonJon, a recent case, was a surprise to all and remarka- bic trial and result. Out of all the cases tried by MT.

AMERICA is READY"
PERSHINC TOLD FocH
Historic Meeting Of the Two Great
Soldiers Shown in Official War
Picture "Under Four Flags."

1t will be an outstanding feature
of military history that America step
ped into the breach in the darkest
days of the war for the Allies and
turned the tide of the conflict, their
success in the region of Chateau
Thierry being the real beginning of a
new morale for the armies of the AL
lies and of the fierce operations that
drove the invading Huns back over
their hard-earned territory.
Interesting details of these mill
tary activities ave shown in the third
United States war picture, Under
Four Flags" distributed by the World
Film Corporation for the Division of
Films, Committee on Public Informa-
ton, which will exhibit at the Prin-
cess and Liberty Theatres Saturday,
March 29th.
The French armies are shown re-
treating before the Huns. The refu-
gees flee like sheep, laden with what
few household necessities they could
grab in hurried departure. The
scenes indicate the utmost in hope
lessness, expected defeat and despair.
Other scenes show the preparations
of the Americans, already on French
soil. The doughboys, the best of
Americas young manhood, are seen
in training trenches, charging over
wide expanses, following practice
barrage and being fitted in every way
for the heavy work before them.
Finally there is shown the histor-
ic meeting between Pershing and
Foch, in which the American COM
mander gives voice to that brief SEN
tence that spelled hope for the AL
lies and defeat for the Huns, an his
toric utterance, equal in Importance
to that of Patrick Henry. Pershing
said to Foch, american is ready!
Immediately the great French SOL
dier now in supreme command of the
Allied armies, began to make use of
the vast strength of the American
army and turned the tide Of the war.

Clothing Shortage
Serious As'That of
Food Says Hoover

WASHINGTON March 26,-Lack
of clothing in the liberated countries
of Central Europe is regarded by
Herbert Hoover, European relief
commissioner, as fully as serious as
the shortage of food. In cablegram
received Monday urging the Ameri-
can people to contribute literally to
the collection of clothing being made
this week by the American Red Cross,
Mr.. Hoover said in some of the war
devastated countries a considerable
portion of the population was un-
able to leave their homes because of
insufficient clothing, while new born
babies in Serbia were wrapped in pa
per because cloth was not available.
Illness, sickness and DEATH said
Mr.. Hoover in his cablegram, "are di-
rectly attributable to condition
which is unimaginable to anyone who
has not seen it. The hospitals are
without bandages and the patients
are often dressed in rags. In Serbia
new born babies are wrapped in pa
per for want of necessary clothing.
Men, women and children INSULT
GENTLY clothed and barefooted in the
coolest weather are a common sight
in Rumania.
81 cannot urge the American peo-
pie too strongly to give their plenty
for the relief of suffering and priva-
ton in the liberated territories I'M
dergone by people who, for the most
part were allies with US in a great
cause and who have suffered from
their devotion to that cause far more
than the American people,"
