COOTIE MOST DEADLY
 SOLDIER PARASITE

London, Jan. 3.--(By The British Wireless Service, )--Of the insects re- sponsible for the death or disable ment of hundreds of thousands ill the war zone, the house is declared au- thorititatively to have been one of the most deadly and to have accounted for at least million persons.
 That, however, is only rough estimate, and the probability is that the toll was infinitely higher, for in Serbia alone typhus, a louse-born dis ease, infected nearly one million per sons and killed five hundred a day in the little city of Jassy, while POO of the 1900 medical officers ill the country died from the disease. This disease spread over Russia, Austria Germany, and the Balkans generally.
 These figures are vouched for in "a publication prepared by Lieutenant Lloyd. who was Chief Entomologist in Northern RhodeSia.

HEARTS OF THE WORLD
 GRIFFITH'S MASTERPIECE

The biggest event in the entire sea- son in the world of motion pictures, will be the presentation of D.. w. Griffith's latest film masterpiece, Hearts of the World" At the Haul Der Theatre days starting Monday. Hearts of the World' required eighteen months in the making and many of the scenes were taken on the actual battlefields of France by MT. Griffith, with the official aid. and assistance of the British and the French governments. MT. Griffith however, is anxious to remove any apprehension that "Hearts of the World'' is primarily a war picture. It. IS, he announces, primarily love story, ill which war figures as the grim background. It may be called the story of a village" and for more than forty minutes during the ex- position of the story, there is not a cannon shot, not a suggestion of wars alarms There is the prvtty romance of two girls each in love with the same man: there is the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of small F'renc. town before the holocaust of the war. Then comes the conflict, with its en- suing effects upon the fortunes of those in the little village. The battle
 scenes shown are actual battle scenes taken right in the trenches during the death struggles fthe French and the Germans; only occasionally has it been found necessary to piece lns. story of the battles together by means of acted scenes. Thus one sees the life ill the trenches; the charges of the French soldiers; the thrilling hand to hand conflicts and the thrust of bay onetS; the murderous shells; the great guns in action; the tanks; the attack by liquid fire; the charges and the retreats; the German pill-boxes; the flight of the villagers; the ruth less destruction of property; the treatment of young girls who fall in to the hands of the Germans; and other things too numerous to men, tion, the whole eliminating in the ar rival of the American troops, of ulti mate victory and hint of future happiness for those \ no have en- dured this terrible struggle.
 Mir. Griffith is anxious to have tt understood that while "Hearts of the World' deals with war and love, ait is drama he has staged, rather than a propaganda film. Yet no one can sit through his wonderful pictorial rep resentation of tho tragedy of Bleed- ing France, without going forth more determined than ever that this con- fliet must be won, that the Allies must triumph over their adversar- ies. and that such grim horrors of war must never happen again in the history of the world.
 Prominent in the cast of Hearts of the World" are the beautiful Cish

Washington, Jan. 3.-Senator Thomas of Colorado, Democratic member of the foreign relations committee, predicted today in the senate that ''at the critical hour in our diplomatic history" President Wilson would "acquit himself well before the nations and to the ulti- mate satisfaction of his country men," Disclaiming any intent 10 criticize or condemn senator's who have felt impelled to record their disagreement with the president $ outline of peace conditions, Senator Thomas said he regarded it as ln- cumbant upon those who felt oth- erwise to make public expression Of their views lest it be gathered from their silence "that announcements hitherto recorded embody the com- mon sentiment of the American sen- ate"
 The Colorado senator deprecated action of critics in withholding their condemnation of some of the presi- dents fourteen principles until after those principles had been accepted not only by the allies, but by ene- my countres as well, as saying that this Ibelated criticism "may impair the prestige or detract from Ameri- ca's influence in the ongress of na- tions."
 The senator said he was reluctant to speak of economic barriers and trade relations flor in the last an alysis that is the real obstacle to a1 all embracing entente" he added. however, that he cordially endorsed the presidents demands for "the re- moval as for as possible Of econo- mic barriers"
