Miss Bennett appears as Anne Mer-

Miss Bennett appears as Anne Mer-
tons, the wife Of a gambler who uses
her as his unwilling tool to fleece men
of wealth at cards. When she re-
solves to quit her enforced vocation,
her husband threatens to kill her and
in a desperate struggle for the pos
session of a revolver, the gambler is
shot. Believing she has killed her
husband, Anne escapes to Hawaii and
on the steamship meets Rodney
Healthe, sugar planter, who falls in
love with her.
Mertons meanwhile RECEIVERS from
his wound and associates himself with
Koske, German emissary who is
charged by the Hun government to
destroy the sugar cas- crops in Hawaii
by fire. Mertons meets his wife by
accident and makes her his prisoner.
She later is instrumental in foiling
Koske's Hunnish plot and her hus-
band is fatally burned, thus permit
ting her to wed Heathe. The develop
ment of the story is exceptionally
dramatic, and its heart appeal is said
to be unusually strong. Miss Bennett,
is supported by Jack Holt, fine lead
ing man, Robert McKim, a talented
and popular player, and other well
known screen actors.

GAME LAW SUMMARY FOR TRAP.
y PERS AND HUNTERS

Washington. d. C.-To aid trappers
and hunters the U. s. Department Of
Agriculture has issued Farmers Bull
letin 1922, Laws Relating to Fur
Bearing Animals" which is a sum-
mary of legislation in the United
States, Canada, and Newfoundland, re-
lating to trapping, open seasons, pro-
pagation, and bounties. Under the
stimulus Of high prices there is al
ways danger that trappers will de-
plete the trapping grounds and per-
manently decrease the number of fur
animals, the Federal specialists say.
Regulations and seasons should be
carefully observed, so that the fur
supply of the future shall not be en-
1angered.
For the fiscal year ended June 30,
1918, the foreign trade of the United
States in raw and manufactured furs
reached the largest total in the his
tory of the country. While exports
we're only $13,9O3,631 as compared
With $15,729, 100 for 1917, the imports
we're s3S,SSs,372 as compared with
$2l.553,375 for 1917. The total for

PEACE TREATY WILL CONE
IN the EARLY SPRING
Most Important Just Matter For Du.
plicatiOn VIII Be League Of M.
tons Question.

Paris, January 15--The first formal
sitting Of the peace congress will be
held Saturday.
The work at today's preliminary
session comprised completion of the
allotment of representation of the var
ious nations and further delving
into the question of whether Russia
would have delegates in the larger
body. The preliminary sessions will
continue work continuously, with the
exception of having the matter en-
tirely disposed of by Saturday.
The programme commonly agreed
upon calls for primary consideration
of the forming of league of ma
tons, and the congress will work on
this to the exclusion of all other
subjects. Those European statesmen
who now appear friendly to the pur-
pose of putting the league of nations
question to the fore have repeatedly
expressed the view that the formation
of the league and the making of peace
are Joint problems which can not be
ASSOCIATED. The efforts thus seem to
be to bend all energies to the laying
Of the foundations Of the league, so
that the confereice may proceed to the
actual making of the peace treaty in
the early spring, even, indeed, If 1t be
only a preliminary one, which will
dispose of the pressing question of
rehabilitation and the return Of the
warning countries as nearly as pos
sible to the economic conditions of
peace.

For ten centuries all christendom
has looked forward to the day when
the Holy Land would be freed from
the infidel. But thousand years roll
ed by and still the Turk held Jeru-
salem.
Suddenly like a flash of sunlight in
storm came the news that General
Sir Edmund Allenby had torn down
the crescent that had held the people
under oppression and raised the cross
of Christ.
That was the most thrilling and
spectacular event of all modern his

our lives to witness it.

would recommend to any OF the

an elevation of 1000 feet will produce
no sensation more alarming than rid

excitement and pleasure resulting
from the panoramic view Of the Ohio

soon forgotten.
