ADVISE AGAINST
 VIOLENT METHODS
By Associated Press

Rerlin. Jun e4.-The communist inde- pendents are warned earnestly by Dr. Herz, the Hamburg ultra radical, leader of one group of the German extreme inde- pcndents that thev must be resigned to depending for some time on the intellect ual employers capitalism, whose knowl- edge of the economic situation Is still indispensable and therefore specialization must proceed very slowly.
 The communists demand of a pro- letariat is an effort to reach stage of development by violent advance for which
 the present day conditions are not ripe. ' he says, Only the underestimation of economic thought can mislead one to the fview that with methods of violence an economic advance can be gained. If a four years wan should be followed by four years civil war the victor, whether Ludei'dorff, Noske or the 6partAcans, vii
 rule over field of corpses If the eco homie life is to bloom again social con flicts must take form which eliminates as far as possible all violent methods. '

 overworked farm hand. He has t. chauffeur the cows, page the hogs and
 do all kinds of hard work for a cruel master, and the only reason he stays on the job is because he is in love with a neighboring farmers daughter. | But when city chap comes to board with his sweetheart's folks Charlie | almost sees his finish, but he decides to dress up and be a dude, too. Charlie | has lots of mishaps. but in the end he wins the girl, makes the dude beat it and all ends happily. It is said to be | the best comedy that Chaplin has ever | appeared in.
 "On the same programme with sun nyside" Maurice Tourneurs great pro
 duction, The White Heather" will te ] offered. This is a gripping drama | from the pen of Clyde Fitch, which as | a stage play broke all records at the ] Drury Jane theatre, London.
