The tables given out by the depart

ductory description:
THE following pages arc "a tabula-
ton Of casualty cables received through
January 10. They give totals OF the
casualties which put soldier perma-
nently out of action They do not in
clude wounded figures, as the lists of
those slightly wounded are still incom-
plcte.
"The totals given are about e5 per
cent complete for each division. A
few new reports Of casualties are still
coming in, but most OF the change
since January 10. when the tabulation
was begun, are decreases in the other
totals. This change is due to the re-
lease of prisoners and reports of deaths
by eye witnesses.
Ten Thousand Still Missing
The total figure for missing has now
been reduced to close to 10000. Field
signal battalions, ambulance companies
and trains are not included in the

X BRIEF TALK WITH
 MISS VAN WALDRON.

Ellen Neal had discarded her sim pie servants gown and in the interim between the first and second acts was Ethel Van Waldron again, with the heroine of Common Clay only 2 visionary figure in perspective to be discussed and analysed ad libitum.
 What is necessary to get a woman of Ellen NeaIs type across the foot lights,' Miss Van Valdron was asked.
 She pondcrcd the question. What do you mean by a woman of Ellen Neals typc?" she asked.
 Well ir the ordinary accepted sense, a bad woDlan.''
 But Ellen isn't bad. The worst you can say about her is that she is-wel, 8 bit spotty. She isn't pure, of course, but to call her a scarlet woman, or woman inherently bad in the sense that the women portrayed by some of our foreign actresses is bad is alto- setner misinterpreting the chara cter. Tn the sin of Ellen Neal there is logic, and circumstance. and what is still more mportant-humanity She is neither feminine Don Juan, who seeks the devil because he is gay, nor a feminine Iago, who goes to the dew il because she, is perverse. She is a tremendously human, trem endously sympathetic figure. In whatever bad ness there is in her, there is the ex- plating method of humanness.
 When you ask me What is ncces- sary to get a woman of Ellen Nea1's type across the footlights?' I say to you that the essential thing is to un- derstand Ellen Neal-not merely the detail of her Conduct-but her back ground, her motives. her psychology. I am quite convinced that the acts of people taken in themselves apart from these other considerations are nothing at all in the world. Unless we probe deeply for causes, we shall always be deceived by effects. I want to know about the heart and the mind and the house wherein the one thinks and tho other feels before l care to sit in judgment upon what the hand does.
 "So I picture Ellen Neal a great chara cter with q strange destiny and try to get her over the footlights as I such.

What Betty Had to Say to Allen

well? How about it? Is it peace" Allen Drakes tone held per- suasive eagerness, though so low that I could scarcely distinguish the s3lla- bles. An involuntary glance at Lillian told me that she was rather ostenta- tiously rearranging the flowers in the low bowl near her, and I knew that she must not only be aware of our murmured conversation, but was markedly ignoring it.
 There was only one way to put an end to the awkward situation. l raised my eyes to Allen Drake's with no hlnt in them of the resentment which still fingered in my heart.
 Peace, of course, and thank you, l said smiling.
 "Thank you!" he murmured smn- ing back, then he turned to Lllllan carelessly. It's a wonder to me some hotel manager doesn't offer Betty about a million dollars week ana ftake her away from you, he sald' with reminiscent admiration for the Trapped chicken jelly.
 "Sh-h-h!" Lillian whispered dra- matically as the dining room door swung open to admit the old colored woman in the picturesque Sdlp slo oI- fects to her own satisfaction and the delight of all Lillian's guests
 She bore a tray from which arose the steaming savory odor of another culinary poem. There never is any formality about Lillian's small dln- ners, and from long experience l knew the surest way to Betty's heart, so I spoke promptly.

FOX'S THE.ATER.

Charles Ray in "The Girl Dodger' and the big vaudeville novelty "A Night in the Trenches" are the at fractions at FoX's tonight
 Those who witnessed the presenta- ton of "The Girl Dodger' at Fox s today. will admit that Charles Ray has been supplied with a vehicle that suits him down to the ground ' It is a college story, wherein Mr. Ray is seen as a dreamy bookworm of a student. He takes the place of a lively fellow student and gets into a tangle wherein are involved an heir ess and a chorus girl whose indenti- ties confuse him. The finish is a surprise and the whole story is typi- cal of" life on the campus. Mr Ray is supported by pretty Doris Lee and a fine cast. A tWO-reel Sunshine comedy, the latest Pathe News, Mutt X Jeff and the 10th episode of The Tigers Trail, with dashing Ruth
 Roland and George Larkin, complet c the film program.
 Fox vaudeville is headlncd by the
 comedy novelty "A Night in the
 'Trenches,' all the mem beTs of which
 are members of the well known 77th
 division of the T.. s. army. Miss Ma
 son, the lone lady in the act, was a
 cantcen worker in Brest and mar
 ried one of the members of the 77th
 division, who was instrumental in
 staging the act. "A Night in the
 Erenches' tells a story of the late
 war in a most graphic manner amidst
 all the panoply of war, including
 Zeppelins, a wireless station, tele-
 phone, rapid-fre gunning, a pretty
 love story in which a war correspond
 enb and a Red Cross nurse are the
 principals is unravelled in a most
 satisfactory manner. Several songs are introduced, the action is rapid, the 3dialog snappy and the scenery perfect in every detail. Ii is an act that will surely be enjoyed as it brings to Us a perfect replica of our boyA doings lover there,'' with the add-fonal advantage of really clever com edy and a heart story worth whifS.
