AT THE REPUBLIC TOMORROW

Shoulder Arms" the second Char
lie Chaplin million-dollar picture, to
be shown at the Republic theatre
tomorrow picturizes his experience
and difficulties as an average Ameri-
can doughboy, from the time he enters
the rookie squad until, as a finished
product of military training, he in
vades Hunland and captures the I'm
perial German Staff with method
typically Yankee for novelty and sur
prise. ep
His feet get him into countless trou-
bles under the unsympathetic eye of
his drill sergeant, and even after his
advent into the front line trenches
he finds new complexities in the man
agement of rifle and the bayonet.
Following numerous experiences in his
dugout he volunteers for special
spying mission. Camouflaged as a
tree, he invades enemy territory A
Hun wood-chopping party attempts to
add him, disguised as tree stump, to
its collection, with disastrous results.
Charlie is finally captured in a she'll
torn French house. He makes his es-
cape by turning the tables on the Ger
mans, and accompanied by the French
girl who befriends him, he seeks ref
uge in what proves to be the head
quarters of the General Staff. The
Kaiser, Crown Prince and von-Hinden-
burg surprise him in an attack on a
German officer, but Charlie saves the
day for himself and the girl by wear
ing the uniform of his unconscious
victim.
He rescues his drill sergeant, also
captured by Huns, and together they
conspire to escape. Their plan brings
complete confusion to headquarters,
and shakes the German army to its
foundation.

A FURTHER WARNING
AGAINST INFLUENZA

Weather conditions the past week
have been most unfavorable to health
and conducive to the spread of in
fiuenza. The state health commission
er has taken occasion to admonish
the public TO be on guard against con-
tagion He said:
weather conditions, such as we
have had during the last few days,
largely necessitating the overcrowd-
ing OF the street cars, contribute not
a little to the spread of influenza and
its perpetuation. Therefore. il is of
the greatest Importance that persons
riding on street cars and occupying
positions in public gatherings should
see TO II that proper ventilation is be-
ing maintained Weather of this kind
has a general tendency of promoting
the disease of the respiratory organs,
as the moisture in the atmosphere will
carry the germs better than a dry at
mosphere. Persons are also advised
not to occupy the street cars. Nothing
but absolute necessity would justify
any person in exposing himself or
herself TO the risk of contagion at this
time"

by the railroad companies out of the
$3.50. O0o. 900 which the government
guarantees them.
For the railroads, 1918 was year
which broke all records of revenues
and expenses. Although receipts were
nearly twenty per cent greater, ex-
penses were even more. II took eighty
per cent of the operating revenues TO
pay operating expenses. although only
seventy per cent was taken for this
purpose in 1917 Operating expenses
which with estimated figures for the
past two months amounted TO $780,
0OO. 900. were billion dollars more
than in 1917. Increased wages are es-
timated yariously 10 have been re-
sponsible for between s600.O0000O
and $500 100000 of this billion.
Receipts and Expenses
In the ten months ending November
1, for which the Interstate Commerce
Commission has compiled definite re-
ports, receipts from freight, passen-
ger and other revenue sources were
81. 022, 900 900 or little less than the
$4.041 100000 revenues for the entire
year of 1917 In the ten months
81, 100000 came from freight and
1856 zoo. 900 from passenger traffic.
Operating expenses for the ten
months amounted to S3,247 100000, or
about $4OO.OO0,O0O more than the
50 ,S52 900. 900 expenses for the entire
year of 1917. So-called ira nsporta-
ton expenses, including the bulk of
the cost of running the trains,
amounted to $1,666 200, 900; mainte-
nance of cars and locomotives cost
1897 ,O00,0 and maintenance of the
tracks, roadway and structures cost
1921 ,O00, 00O
Most of these figures probably will
be raised twenty per cent by returns
for the last two months.
The reports do not include small
roads with less than $1.000,000 reve-
nues a year.
Eastern roads in the ten months re-
ported 2S,000,000 revenues and
