u. s. TO CONTROL.
 PANAMA CANAL.
Question As to Whether It Should Be Interna-
 tionalized.

Paris, Thursday, Jan. B The Canal should be internationalized un- der the League of Nations would de- pend entirely upon the attitude of the United States government. according to the belief expressed tonight by Lord Robert Cecil who has submitted to the Peace Congress a draft of the British view of the structure of the league. He spoke at 8 conference of journalists.
 Lord Robert held that the Panama Canal Is not on the same basis as some other waterways, since it is property of the United States and must be for that country to say how 1t shall be controlled.
 In speaking of the admission of neutrals into the league on the same basis as other nations. Lord Robert said he felt that there should be no classification but, that all sovereign independent states should have equal rights. In the general discussion which followed this remark he said 1t would be a disaster If no South American nations were included in the organization
 The question was raised as to whether. if a big indemnity is as sessed against Germany, she should be kept out of the league until pay ment was completed. Lord Robert replied she should not be barred merely becaus of her Inability to pay, In case the indemnttles should run over a long period
 He said that no definite proposals had yet been made regarding limisa- ton Of armaments. In his opinion. there must be limitation, but there cannot be total disarrlament, since 1 every country must maintain certain defensive forces.

DOCS PLAYED AN IMPORTANTPART
 IN REGENT WAR

London. Jan. 24.-(Corresponde dog army rendered gallant service in the war Many soldier owes his life to some poor, uncared-for, stray dog. For nearly two years dogs were employed by the British as messen- gers, as sentries and as guards.
 Early in 1917 a war dog school of instruction was established by the British War Office, and Lieutenant Colonel Richardson, who has devoted his life to training dogs for military and police purposes, was appointed commandant of the school. Game keepers, hunt servants and shepherds were called up from the army to as sst in the work of instruction.
 After a thorough training in Eng land. the dogs were sent to France, and on the battlefelds their skill, courage and tenactty amazed the army. Often wounded in the per formance of their duties, they never faltered while strength remained to carry on. The official record of their heroic work tells of successful mes sage-carrying through darkness, mist, rain and shelI-ire over the most diff ficult ground. In a few minutes time dogs have brought messages over ground that would take a soldier runner hours to cross.
 During the great German advance last spring part of the British line in front of a famous French town was cut off by severe enemy bar rage. A messenger dog was released with an urgent appeal for reinforce ments. It ran two miles in ten min utes. The result was that French colonial division was sent up and prevented a disaster. The messenger was a Highland sheep dog.
 Another dog with a message ran nearly four miles in twenty minutes, and still another in the same time carried back from the front a map of an important captured position, when a. man would have taken an hour and a half to bring 1t in.
 The dogs which have been found most successful in war work ara collies, sheep dogs, lurchers and aire- dales, and crosses of these varieties. while in a number of cases Welsh and Irish terriers have given excel lent results.
 The work of sentry dogs has been valuable, especially in the Balkans One gave warning of an enemy scout 300 yares away. On many occasions | dogs have given warning of enemy patrols long before the soldier sentries were aware of their presence. Large numbers of dogs have been used for guard duty, many on the 1 Italian front.

No Party Now Has Abso lute Majority in German
 Assembly. PLAN WOULD GIVE VERY STRONG GOVT Power of the Soldiers Coun- cil Is To Be Greatly
 Diminished.

London, Jan. 24-Basing it's comment upon the final unofH- cial figures on the results of the German elections for the National Assembly as received yesterday from Basic, the Times today points out that no party has an absolute majority in the assembly.
 It expresses the opinion that there is every probability of a strong com bination between the Majority Social ists and the Democrats, (the former radicals reinforced by some national liberals), together with whatever re- cruits they may attract from the other groups
 Such an arrangement of parties, '' says the Times editorially, would produce the one result which con cerns the Allies and the United States. It would give Germany a strong government with the indSput- able moral right to bind the German state and people. The Allies and America should hasten to recog- nize the state of things which the election has created"
 The original plan for the National sembly calls for 433 .Dlembers, but owing to the fact thSt Alsace-Lor- raine did not vote, the total is reduc- ed by 12 and hence will be 421. Berne, Jan. 24-Under the new | regulations which have been issued relative to the control of the German army, the power of the Soldiers Councils will be greatly diminished l The Prussian minister of war will l through the army officers, be charged

1.-THE BRAT" SEAT SALE

The seat sale for The Brat" which
comes to the Pinney theatre for matt
nee and night performances tomorrow,
Thursday, April 3. opened with spir-
tied interest Tuesday, which gives
strong indication of two capacity au-
diences.
Aside from the general interest in
the Morosco comedy success, keen in
terest attaches to Audra Alden, who
essays the title role in the famous
comedy drama which scored a years
run in New York City. Miss Alden
is known and highly esteemed by
hundreds of Boise theatregoers and
they know in advance that a captivat-
ing entertainment is in store for them.
There are few-very few-ingenue
leading women who can follow Maude
Fulton in The Brat but the many
who saw Audra Alden in the part Of
the outcast street urchin at the Salt
Lake theatre last evening gave ample
evidence of their pleasure with her
unique Interpretation of the part. Her
support is very excellent and the
offering as q whole compares favor
ably with any other play of the pres
ent season regardless of the so-called
popular price SCALE"
This criticism from the Salt Lake
Tribune is a brief excerpt from the
review given this company quite re-
Gently, and is in keeping with many
others from the foremost western cit
les where this play has appeared.
1t should be borne In mind that THE
Brat is at the Pinney for just one
day, and as it is likely that the de-
mand for seats will exceed the capa-
city of the playhouse, immediate reser-
walton should be made. Reservation
by telephone may be made under the
usual conditions by calling 70.

'WEVTY CENTURIES
ROLLED BACK WHEN
'SAL0ME' PRODUCED
Fair Seductive Princess but In
carnation of Her Time; Lived
Luxury, Abandon and Ruth
lessness of Barbaric Day.

When William Fox produced "Sa-
ome," he rolled up the curtain of
twenty centuries. On the spacious
stage of history he revealed to men
and women of today the morals, the
customs the elemental passions of
other men and other women who lived,
loved, sinned and suffered when the
world was young.
This stupendously big photodrama is
coming to the Majestic theatre next
Sunday.
Salome, the fair, seductive. princess
OF Judea, is but an incarnation of her
time. When she lived, Rome, the
External City" ruled the world. Rome S
military legions recognized no law
Save the law of the conquering Gaze
sars. Through the power of arms,
Through the guile Of her rulers, Rome
ground beneath her heel every nation
which sought to raise its head. There
fore, to win favor with Rome was to
prosper and deceit and treachcry ran
rampant.
Herod ruled Judea because he used
his people as stakes to gamble for the
Favor of Rome. Salome, the daughter
Df her age, ruled Herod by using her
physical charms to win his favor and
accomplish her designs. She acted as
the world acted--set her heart upon
b wish. then lured to her side or
brushed the victims who stood in her
WAY.
The luxury, the moral abandon of
Imperial Rome, We're reflected in the
Roman provinces. The court of Herod
Ivas one of the most magnificent on
earth-perhaps the most profligate. In
such an environment, reeling with
Spiritual decay, lived Salome. She
Knew no mercy, because she saw in
The life about her nothing but ruth
pessness. Her own passions brooked no
denial, because her world knew no
restraint. Let the strong win; let the
weak suffer-Such was the creed of
bier barbaric time.
Salome's strength was in her beauty
beauty a hundred times more dan
|gerous because it was sensuous and
seductive. 1t conquered Herod, but
John, the forerunner of a nobler, bet
tier day, 1t failed to conquer. Accord
|ing to the inplacable law that Sa-
Home knew, there could be but one
penalty for the prophets offcnse. That
penalty John paid with his life.
