LET TROOPS OFF
BOrah Would Grant Amnesty
for All Convicted in War. :
Claims Great Differences in
Punishment for Offenses.

| Washington Jan. 2S.-General am
nesty for all men convicted in the war
by, courts martial is to be asked of
| President Wilson by Senator Borah.
| This is the second step in the pro-
gressive senator's campaign to rid the
United States of all traces of war.
Borah will cooperate with Senator
| Chamberlain of the military affairs
committee in hearings to show the
facts with respect to sentences melted
| out to men of the draft army. Allie
cations laid before Borah. Chamber
| lain and other senators, are to the eff
feet:
| That startling inequality existed
in the severity of sentences imposed
| Oh different men for the same Of
lenses.
That undue severity was exercised
for minor infractions of military dis
| cipline.
| That courts martial have been COM
posed in some instances of men not
qualified eith?r by training or temper
ament to sit as judges.
/ Senators have been told that the to-
tai of sentences during the war ran
well above 10000. Neither Borah nor
Chamberlain vouches for these fig
| ures, nor for the truth of, the charges.
Berah said todayi
$50 many complaints have been laid
before me tndt nave asked that the
| war department furnish the senate
complete data on all courts martial
cases. After this has been obtained,
| hearings may be necessary to bring
| out additional facts. 1t is my inten-
ton to ask President Wilson to issue a
general amnesty to all prisoners con-
victed and sentenced to prison by
| courts martial
This is that we may take the taste
| Of the war out of our mouths. 1t is
| another step towards our old time
| ideals of democracy and justice.

LITTLE FIVE AND
BIG FIVE EACH
WITH ITS STICK

Paris. Jan .2S.-Establishment of
the big five" bloc, for the purpose of
welding the 'big stick" on the peace
conferences has resulted in formation
of little five bloc. which will seek
to swing a little stick
The United States, Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan constitute the
big five" The little five has been
organized by Belgium, Serbia, Greece.
Poland and China.
These rival factions grew out of
the fight by the smaller nations for
greater representation on the special
committees which will work out
the details of the peace settlement.
The lines thus drawn will be wiped
out, it is believed. when the question
of representation is amicably adjust
ed. Work toward this END is pro-
crossing rapidly.
Altho it would be impossible for the
nineteen smaller nations to have one
representative each among the twenty
the final list of memberships on the
committee so far formed, leaves eight
small nations entirely unrepresented.
Fourteen members out of the twenty
chosen by the small nations go to the
little five" Belgium, which led the
open revolt in Saturdays plenary ses-
sion against the big five" debating
representation. obtained five of these
delegates, Serbia three. China two,
Greece two and Poland two. The
other small nations outside the little
five" which succeeded in landing one
membership each are Brazil. Portugal,
Rumania, Cuba. Uruguay and the
Czecho-S lovak republic.

AT THE PASTINIE

The bill for today and tomorrow at
the Pastime theater includes a story
of the struggle for recognition Of
two typical American youths, a boy
and a girl, who go to New York seek
ing fame and fortune as composer and
singer. They drift into Tin Pan Alley,
erstwhile headquarters of the princi-
pal music publishers, and much of the
action of the play is said to develop
there. The production is a William
Fox release featuring two new stars,
Albert Ray and Elinor Fair, and Is en-
titled "Words and Music By" This
is the second picture in which Mr.. Ray
and Miss Fair have been cast as stars
and is one of a series of stories espe-
cially selected for portraying the
characteristics of the typical Ameri-
can young man and young woman.
The story, based upon a tale pub
lished in a popular magazine and writ
ten by William Charles Lengel, shows
the life of the young couple in. their
home town, making clear that their
musical aspirations meet with little
personal or friendly sympathy The
Young woman eventually obtains rec
ognition as a singer In opera, but the
bow. who has written an opera, strug-
giles along unnoticed. His compost
ton eventually is stolen by man who
recognizes its value and who nearly
succeeds in putting it over as his own,
The manner in which authorship is
proved is said to comprise highly
dramatic and interesting climax.
Tn connection with the above, Billy
West will be seen in a comedy,

AT THE LYRIC.

1.-The Way of the Strong" a story
of the great northwest, is a play or
tremendous dramatic value which
gives Anna @. Nilsson, beautiful star
of the production, a rual role.
This play, which VIII be featured
at the Lyric theater today and tomor-
row. is a story of the northlands-
showing the forceful passions which
rule in the land of open spaces where
love and purity hold high value but
where narrow conventions are never
known. The two roles in which Miss
Nilsson appears, vary widely. $n
the first scenes she enacts the char
acter of an unfaithful wife, while
later she is seen as the girl who
brings ultimate love and happiness
to many lives.
Miss Nilsson is surrounded by a
cast of clever players among whom
are Joe King, Harry S. Northrup,
Irene Yeager, Arthur Redden and
Rita Harlan. The play is adapted
from the novel of the same name by
Ridgewell Cullum and is directed by
Edwin Carewe.
There will also be shown a Big "V''
comedy Of two reels.
