The feminine lead is played by mar
iory Daw who has now appeared up

that Doug uses rather heroic meas
| ures % rescue damsels from distress,
it will be understood tina 1t requires

THE Black Circle" is one of the
best pictures hat Creighton Hale has
ever appeared in. No n should miss
seeing it.
Mother love is the keynote of "The
Price Woman Pays" the six-reel sup
e~r-feature now playing at the Ditmas
theatre. A Mothers interest in her
daughter and the response of the girl
to the counsel of an older head, has
proven to be a big aid in the preser-
walton of virtuous girlhood. Keep
ing this theme in mind the author OF
The Price Woman Pays" has pre-
scented a moral and a lesson that will
reach every Preside.
The old and gray bearded Faust"
tempted in his desire to win the fair
Marguerite, sells his soul to the devil
in return for one year of youth. The
reading of this book and the under
standing of the moral that 1t taught
brought a modern high school girl
to the realization Of the step she was
about to take, saving her from temp
tation.

BL OOMINCDALE
 BLAMES WIFE
Wealthy New York Mer- chant Accuses Golf In
 structor and Army Man.

New York, April 5.---Irving Bloom ingdale, one of the three millionaire BlQomingdale brothers, has filed an answer to his wife's separation action In which he accuses her of miscon- duct with several men. He does not, however, ask for a divorce.
 Mrs. Rosalie BloomingdaIe sues for a separation, alleging that her hus- band abandoned her by walking out of their home last November and not returning. He says he is legally jus tified in leaving his wife, and that he will, at the proper time, in court, pre- sent his reasons for separating from her. Pending trial the Supreme Court has allowed Mrs. Bloomingdale $2, 600 g. month aiimony.
 In her petition Mrs. Bloomingdale alleged that her husbands interest in merca ntile concerns is at least S3,OO0,- 900, and that his income is well over S250 00O a. year. He told the court he Is worth about $1,5OO,O ,OOO, and that his vife's "wanton extravagance" has re- duced him financially and caused him many debts.
 In his answer MT. BloomingdaIe
 names a Captain Andrews as one of the men Mrs. B1oomingdale met at the Hotel Bon Air in Augusta, ga, and elsewhere. She admits she knows Captain Andrews, but denies her hus- bands "scandalous allegations" She says Captain Andrews lives at Fargo, \. D., and is merely a social acquaint- anCe.
 Mr. BloomingdaIe also names Rus sell Mackey, an ensign in the navy. Mrs. BlOomingdale declares that she met NTackey while she was doing war work in the Harvard Club Canteen. opposite the Pennsylvania station She recalls that her husband invited Mackey to a private dining room party in MaXim's at which she was present. She says Mackey Is a lawyer in the Far West and only an acquaintance of hers.
 BloomingdaIe also names Charles MOtheTin. golf instructor at White Sulphur Springs, as one of the men his wife favored. She explained in her replying affidavit that she has an ambition to be an efficient golfer and that she "obtained as much of MT. MotherilPs time as possibIe.'' She in- formed the court she will produce tes- timony of 20 people to disprove her husbands charge.

BOLSHIGVIsNf IN
 SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE

~. R. Savic in April Yale Review)
 What are the chances of Bolshev- ism in Southeastern Europe? Like any other social phenomena, Bolshev- ism is a compound product, and it's chances are very different in the diff ferent countries here under discus sion.
 There are grounds for BoIshevisn in Bohemia inasmuch as Bohemia, being a. manufacturing country, has & proletariat. F'urtherm lore, the land was very Unequally divided, large land owners being a conspicuous fea- ture in Bohemia as well as in Slo- vakia, On tho other hand, Czecho- Slovakia has very able and patriotic ~ leaders, who have already announced social and economic reforms. au, he appropriation of large estates is Q of the first reforms and it cer- l. will meet very insignificant opl sition. The landlords in Bohe- mia, are mostly German and Slovalzia Magyar aristocrats. Bolshevisru there may be checked by psychological forces also. Since it comes from Ger many, the Czechs will repudiate it because everything German is repel- lent to them. If it should come by way of Russia, the chances for Bol-
 
 hope can be entertained on account of the fact that the Czecho-SIovak regiments in Russia have thus far re- sisted the disease.
 Hungary was the land of political corruption, large aristocratic estates, and economic inequalities. BolsheV- ism may find there an easy field. The collapse of the former political sys- tenn and the burden which must ac- company a national defeat are, of course, natural allies of Bolshevism. Rumania in many ways resembled Hungary. She also was a country where political corruption was ram pant and democracy unknown. Large estates were social and economic curse; the peasantry was neglected, and agricultural uprisings were constant menace. Only quick, sin cere, and far-reaching reforms can ameliorate conditions and check the disease. For all that, Rumanla Is in q better position than Hungary, since she has escaped national defeat. But she is worse off than Czech -Slovakia, in that the big landowners are not foreigners and their opposition to economic reforms will be stronger than anything in Czecho -Slovakia. or even in Hungary.
 Jugoslavia, Bulgaria and Greece will offer no easy ground for Bolshev- ism. the social and economic condi- tions there being unfavorable to it. Bulgaria and Jugoslavia are the lands of peasant democracy and small holders. They have no proletariat worth speaking of. Greece resembles them as she also has factories. She is q country of fishermen, small land owners, and tradesmen. Her Capi- talistic class is recruited from among shipowners and merchants in foreign countries. She enjoys a democratic constitution and the satisfaction of her national aspirations will initiate against Bolshevism. As for Albania, the country is still so undeyeloped po- 1itica1ly, socially, and economically that Bolshevism there would be as impossible as in Europe of the Middle Ages

LORD LEVAN, 3S TODAY,
 ESCAPED FROM GERMANY

Among the scores of young noble
 men who fought in the war, few If
 any have had more thrilling eXperi- ences than the sandy haired. sandy
 whtskered Scotchman who answers to the name and titles of John David
 Leslie-MelyiIle, twelfth Earl of Le- ven and Melville, Baron Melville. Ba- ron Balgonio and Niscount kirIIcai- die. The young Earl was born thirty three years ago today. April ,, 1SS6.
 and inherited the titles and estates of his father in 1908. He is numbered ; among the wealthiest of Scottish peers. He was "in trade" before the war, entering the office" of a firm of merchants in London in order to gain experience that would enable him to look after his financial interests. He is the principal partner in two big banking firms. and has financial in terests in the United States and Can ada. both of which countries he has visited.
 In the early stages of the war the
 Earl went to the front with his regi-
 ment. the Royal Scots Grays. in
 which he Is a lieutenant. He was
 wounded in August, 1914. and was
 left behind in the general retreat of
 the British forces. After lying on the
 field with bullet in his thigh for many painful hours, the young
 Scotchman was picked up by the Germans. Long and weary hours in
 a box car followed, with other wound ed men, before he reached a German hospital, where his wounds were dressed. In December, 1914, he con trived to escape from the hospital, and, playing the role of Belgium refugee, he travelled across Belgium

in a northerly direction. His disguise was good enough to deceive the Ger mans and he passed through their lines and crossed the Dutch frontier without a passport. From Holland he made his way to England, where his friends had long given him up as dead. Lord Leven had many friends in Germany. as his aunt, the Hon. Miss Portman. had long spent most of her time in her Berlin home, and 1t Is quite possible that some of these aided the young Scotchman to effect his escape.
 Lord Levens titles date back to the seventeenth century, the first Earl of Leven having been a very distinguish ed soldier serving in Holland and in the Parliamentary forces in the civil war, and later working for the res toration.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The biggest factor in the business outlook at any given moment is the subtle factor called "con1dence."
 When business men have courage, all the producing elements set out to produce to their capacity, which keeps everybody busy and earning money. And when business men lose courage, factories shut down. Ttmid people should realize that their gloomy temperament tends to bring on the conditions they spend their lives in dreading.
 One strong reason for confidence Is that there is now in existence, tried out in furnace of war, the great fed eraI reserve banking system. Before this organizat ton was created, the United States suffered from business depressions about every decade or 2 little oftener. The bank laws were 90 rigid that a perfectly sound and sol vent business could be wrecked mere ly by a lack of ready money. This weakness in the financial structure has now been removed by legislation that makes possible the massing of reserves to protect every solvent busi- ness. Thus the principal cause for the old periodical panics has been re- moved.
 There is always danger in times of imitation and over confidence. that a great structure of debts will be built on an insufficient foundation of as sets. But the business community has advanced with caution through this war period. and no such condition is likely to exist.
 The country still faces the peril of Bo1shevism. But the school educa- ted American masses will not be fooled by the follies that have de luded poor blinded Russia. So with prudent and courageous enterprise with justice to all elements Of the working community, all clouds should evaporate in the clear sunshine ol American optimism.
