OLD TIME BANDIT
 AT POLI'S TOMORROW

Emmett Dalton, one of the Dalton days of the turbulent West, will ap- pear in person tomorrow at Poli's theatre at each performance. He will deliver a lecture in connection with the presentation of the film play, Be yond the Law" The film is the screen version of the serial written by Emmett Dalton, which was featur- ed in the World Wide Magazine. The film is having much success on the road. It is a romantic story of the West In which Emmett Dalton is fea- tured. It is na tura1 and is told with naive simplicity which makes it very convicing. Beyond this it is a really good picture and it has attract ed wide attention wherever shown.
 The story has a background of ac- tual history and truthfully repre- sents a phase of American life in the West. There is a harmony about it that makes it genuine and into the acting there has been put that touch of the actual that not a story but his tory graphically shown is being un- folded MT. Dalton's lecture gives a thrilling account of the pioneer days and the attraction will doubtless draw a large attendance to the popular theatre. The picture was shown in the Academy of Music in New York city a few weeks ago, and crea ted such a. sensation that hundreds of peo- pie were turned away

THE FABLE OF THE ANT
 AND THE CHRISTOPHER.

Remember the story of the ant and grasshopper? The ant worked and saved. The end of each day found him with little more added to what he had the day before The grass hopper danced and sang and fiddled his time away. Winter came; the ant had plenty. The grasshopper had to the ant and asked for help. Said the ant: While I worked you fooled your time away. You can dance now for all I care"
 Are you an ant person or a grass hopper person? Some time are you going to have to ask for help, and will some one tell you to dance, or will you be independent?

LET GERMANY REFLECT,

T. is perhaps significant that Ger many is appealing 10 tho allies for mercy at a time when tho remains of Edith Cavell are being taken from Belgium to their final resting place in England. The brutal murder of that noble Enelishwoman who was admin istcring to humanity that was being forced 10 suffer from the acts of the Germans will always stand out as one Of the many undergraduate crimes in connection with the great war. To her Germany gave no consideration, not even when the United States repre- sentstives did their utmost to inter cede for her life. There was no thought of mercy in the case of this one individual but that was not all that Germany did along this line dur ing the four years struggle. It was on the contrary characteristic of it's policy but it has simply caused the world to revere and honor the mem ory of this self-sacrifcing woman.
 How under circumstances of this kind Germany can come forward and ask for, much less expect. mercy. is difficult to understand But then of course Germany has carried the idea that it could do as it pleased and ex- pect the world to overlook it for a long time. Perhaps it is too much to ex- pect that 1t would get over the effects of it as quick as this, but when it makes such pleas 1t should be con- fronted with it's long list of frightful- ness, its own treatment of others and it's general policy of conduct in tho years just gone and be made to real ire that it Is deserving of slight con- sideration. Germany is not being treated as it treated Edith Cavell but Justice is being applied in it's case and It will not be able to get away from 1t by whining about the penalty. bv pleading inability to meet the de- uaands or by asking for mercy.

WANT sERvlcE RESTORED.

Postmaster General Burleson has made a persistent fight against the postal tubes. in the large cities of the country His determination to. put them out of business was such that he even declared that he would not carry out the will of congress when appro- priations were about to be made for them. The fight that he put up against them was successful and .he has not hesitated to display his pride therein since he has contended that they failed to accomplish what was required and that the expense of leas- ing them was unwarranted.
 The attitude he has taken in that respect has not won approval in many quarters any more than the stand which he has taken in other matters, It has been maintained by business men that the tubes provided a service that was needed in the large cities in handling the mail. Tn fact inasmucfl as the people have to pay the expense it is quite evident that they should have the facilities that are required to give them the desired service.
 Even though MT. Burleson succeed ed in putting the tubes out of business his reasons for doing so never con vinced, and it is to be noted now that the business men of Philadelphia, be- cause of the poor service they are get ting, have forwarded a protest to President Wilson by cable against the elimination of the mail tubes. What good it will do cannot be told. MT BurIeson will probably hold 1t Up as another organized scheme to injure him, but when the business men sui fer from the methods which are adopt ed by postmaster general, and il has been shown that the Philadelphia business men are not the only ones te complain against the removal of this service, it would appear to be time -tt listen to the many rather than the one

SHIPS FOR SOUTH AMFRIcA

For a long time this country has suffered from a lack of proper shin ping facilities to South American ports. There have been few vessels aud what there were were slow. Be- canse the service was what it has been the accepted method of going to South America was by way of Europe. It vas longer but it could be made quicker, more comfortable and safer. And there Is no question but what this lack of shipping facilities was one of the reasons why the trade between the Americas never developed beyond the point reached in the past.
 Thus it is an announcement of much importance that Is made by Chairman Hurley of the shipping board to the effect that the situation regarding the moving of supplies and troops across the Atlantic is such that it will soon be- possible to withdraw some of the large vessels which have been en- gassd in those operations and nut them into service between this ccun-

INTEREST IN PLIERS.

Keen interest is maintained in the effort to fly across the Atlantic and it must be realized that the most busi- nesslike methods regarding it are be- ing shown by the Americans. They have of course actually made their start. Three of the machines have ne- gotiated part of the distance and even endeavored to get away on the most difficult stretch and it cannot help =.be> ing felt that the preparations and the determination back of the undertaking g are such that success will crown their efforts if such a thing is possible.

There is no precedent to serve as guide and the false start of Thursday was only what was to be expected. Naturally there is no desire to experience a shortage of fuel on the. way and for that reason the machines were heavily loaded, to0 heavily in fact for their lifting power, though such will constantly decrease as the machines progress.

And it is in- teresting to note that it is intended to use former German ships in this undertaking for they are of such size and speed that they will overcome the handicaps of the past and establish connections that will be attractive not only to the shippers but to travellers.
 This may be looked upon as an ex- pertinent but certainly one that will make good, and it is time that 1t was undertaken. This with the creating of closer business relations and the pro viding of improved banking facilities will go 6 long way toward bridging the gulf that has existed between the two continents in trade relations and this from all indications will be ac-' ceptable as well as beneficial to both.
