Dear Sir: l regret saying that only
the second time have I written you
But YOU know. all service mail has
been censored and enforced so strict
". so one could not say very much in
a letter in order TO pass
Even al this time I am not going to
give YOU very definite story OF my
service. as one cannot illustrate on pa .
per but a small portion Of ones ex-
pevience as a sailor. but I have writ
ten 10 Mr. Klotz from every port since
the armisuce was signed. so he would
be able 10 tell my Hammond friends.
When I left the States l went to
Nurmansk. Russia. where We had win
Ter nearly all summer, also continuous
daylight for over three months. Two
days after the armistice was signed
we sailed to Inver Gordon. Scotland.
and from there to Portsmouth. Eng
land. where I had ten-day furlough,
which | spent in London. seeing the
Buckingham Palace Westminster a b.
hey. House OF Parliament. etc. all of
which I will give you a more definite
illustration OF when l return to good
old Hammond.
From Portsmouth We went to GLIB
raltsr and from there to Taletta NAL
ia. and from there to Venice. Italy.
where We are now stationed as flag
ship OF the American MediterraneRa
forces with Rear Admiral A P. Nib
lack aboard al senior officer. We also
have a fair here. and l can say I
have not seen any snow since last
summer There is not anything great
to see in Venice. as YOU might think
from what YOU hear people say, but
what little they have I have seen and
been through Viz: Ducsl Palace.

ton senators to vote against the rati.
f~lcation of a treaty with foreign rela-
ton committees reservations, has been
given to the conference.
The President wrote that the COM

After the letter had been read there
were indications that unless a com
promise be effected the administration
senators will line up almost solidly
against the ratification.
Senator Lodge predicted that the
senate will mot obey orders" from the
President regarding the treaty.
The democratic friends of the treaty
will vote against the ratification reso-
luton containing the Lodge reserva-
lions.
AS soon as the senate met, Lodge
presented the resolution of ratification
containing the Is reservations adopt
ed by a majority of the senate. Lodge
asked for an immediate vote on un-
qualified ratification. Hitchcock pre-
ferred to wait until the Lodge reso-
luton had been acted upon Lodge
withdrew the request and the debate

of the fastest and most highly enter
tanning comedy-dramas of hs career.
You're Fired" is a highly colorful
production and is guaranteed to keep
any audience smiling, the comedy be
ing OF a delightful and refreshing ma
ture.
Wallace Reid plays the role of a
young a upon whom is imposed the
difficult task of holding a job for three
months without being fired, as a con
dition precedent to mis- marrying the
daughter of a railroad owner. The

THE Woman Thou Gavest Me" was
produced upon the stage by Derwent

in Boston with success. AS a novel it
outsold all other works of Hall Game.
AS a picture it is ole of the screens

sacrificed upon the altar of wedlock

Gan Innocent Adventures"
A new Paramount picture in which
that delightful and popular little star,
Vivian Martin, plays the leading role.
The picture shows how the inno-
cence of a little girl can sometimes
become a great and powerful force for
good and cause the regeneration of a
man. In this instance the man was a
mere boy who had once been a thief,
but who now is trying to live up to the
higher ideals of life--honesty, truth
and faithfulness. A queer turn of CIR
cumstances causes the boy to think
the girl a thief and, thus deprived of
this inspiration, which had kept him
from joining his pals, he now goes
back to the old game"
How he discovers that the girls
character is stainless and again starts
on the straight road with a firmer
step than ever is brought out in a
highly interesting plot,-Adv,

as much as monkeys do from man.
An ape has the same number Of

the same way and have the same
functions. The tail Of the ape and
man are similar.

know him."
Prof. Garner once before startled
the world when. after having lived
for many months in a cage in the
African bush studying apes. he
emerged with the announcement that
he was convinced that the apes
talked to each other. Later he made

plies from other apes when he turned
on the records to them.
