Jess Willard at the Strand

Here's what a metropolitan daily
saws of 1.-THE Challenge of Chance,
now being shown at the Strand thea
tire:
''The Challenge Of Chance" star
ring Jess Willard, the heavyweight
champion Of the world VINO Is TO de-
fend his title against Jack Dempsey
July A, presents the big fellow in a
drama OF Western life that for fast
action, real honest-to-goodness light
| scenes and romantic adventure sur
| passes anything of a like dramatic ma
| ture that has been shown on the
| screen for some time.
Wizards picture opened at the
Park theatre, Columbus Circle, last
| night to a packed house, with a line
| at the box office extending for a block
| away from the theatre. 1t is fair to
| assume that not one of the hundreds
| who crowded into the Park on the
| opening night left the theatre djsap-
pointed. They saw the champion in
| the pink" of condition for his bout
| on the Fourth n in as equally good
| condition as a dramatic actor.
Willard surprised them all by his
| naturalness before the Gamers, for
! the big fellow attempted nothing in
| the way of '~acting"he was his own
| big self, being an actor as well as a
| fighter.
The picture is characterized by fast
| action. 1t is a typical Western drama,
| with all the pep of the Westerner on
| the open plains. The plot of the
| story holds from the first flash of the
| big fellow in way of introduction to
| the final fade-out. THE Challenge of
| Chance is a screen attraction that
| should meet the approval of every
| man, woman and child in the United
States.
'sThe Challenge Of Chance" was pro-
duced by Fred L. Wilke, under the
direction of Harry Revier. Roy Som
erville, a New York newspaper man
and screen writer, wrote the story and
sub-titles. The photograph is of the
best Western brand and the picture
has been given an excellent produc-
ton, with no pains spared to make it
a big screen attraction.

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 1S.-Al-
though the political propaganda at
tacks made on Attorney General Will

LANCER has today mailed letters to the
editors of the Bottineau Courant and

another $1,000 in gold If either editor

was found. Same reward if same rec

officers, and winds up by saying:
THAT all of the facts Governor Fraz-
Ter now knows were not known to
him weeks ago and that the man
whom he appointed to investigate the
case, namely, Seaman Smith, who vas
sheriff of h county at. the time some
of the cattle died and who
lived' within a few miles Of the place
and who had the entire of
the county back of him to make an
investigation, as far as the record dis
closes, ever did anything. That M. K
Bowen before he died. did not make
a request that the attorney generals
Office should have nothing to do with
Seaman Smith, that he was in with
the people who had it in for him. and
that 'he-was under the domination
Of his enemies.
This offer is good from now until

and get the money, and if those who
made the charges do not claim the
money the people will have good rea-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Ignace Jan
Paderewski, Premier of Poland, has an
nounced his programme at Warsaw, ac-
cording to cabled advices received here
to-day.
1t includes Convocation of a con-
sttuent assembly for February 8, de-
fence of the frontiers, help to the work
ing classes, reopening of the factories,
regulation of the national finances and
floating foreign internal loans, immedi-
ate provisioning of the country, estab-
llshment of order and practical steps
for improvement of foreign relations.
The following statement from an Of
ficial Polish source was obtained here
to-day:
Authentic copies of the declarations
which Mr.. Paderewski has made in
Poland since he entered that country
and which have reached this country,
disclose most clearly the basis of the
extraordinary success he has achieved.
Party Control Discarded
Upon his entry into Posen he made
the day memorable by announcing that
while he appeared there as a member
of the Polish National Committee at
Paris, he was not a party man. No
party he said, is big enough or broad
enough to meet the present problems.
NO one-party man can accomplish what
is desired. He must be representative
Of all parties, and therefore of the
people,
"The most striking feature of his
speech at Posen, which has never been
published in America, was that in
which he declared the rebuilding of
Poland belonged to the peasants and
to the workmen; that without their
aid the task would be a futile one.
when he arrived at Warsaw, the
working men and women we're the first
to acclaim him, and, when, after his
first interview with General Pilsudski.
he discovered that they had apparently
reached an impasse, he left for Aus
trian Poland, again to talk to the
peasants and workmen.
Confiscation Prohibited
"From that territory his speeches
also indicate that, while speaking to
sustaining group, he made no attempt

Charges Against
u. S. Men i'm aris

PARIS, Feb. a (By The Associated
Press).-Reports of lawlessness on the
part of Americans, particularly from
the American expeditionary force, are
wholly unfounded, declares Brigadier
General w. w. Harts, American COM
mander of the Paris district, in a re-
port submitted to Major General ]. G.
Harbord. The report is based on rec
ords of the American provost marshal,
the French police and other sources.
General Harris says the persistent ap-
pearance Of newspaper articles accusing
the Americans of lawlessness "has led
to the impression that there is some
anti American propaganda at work in
Paris, which some have ascribed to
German sources" He says criminal
offences committed in Paris and
ascribed to American soldiers from Jan
uary, 1918, to January, 1919, were ex-
tremely few in proportion to the num-
Der of American soldiers in Paris dur
ing that period.
One Paris newspaper recently as
cribed to American soldiers total of
34 murders. $50 day and night attacks
and $50 "bloody combats" during De-
cember General Harts characterizes
this as malicious eXaggeration, and
says the records show that serious of
fences committed by Americans in De-
cember totalled two cases of assault
and battery, three cases of housebreak-
ing and seven cases of disorderly con-
duct.
Inviting attention to the fact that
more than 25,0O0 soldiers have been
stationed in Paris at one time, and that
some 5000 pass through the city daily,
General Harris gives the following data
of cases of crime in which American
soldiers were concerned as reported
by the Prefect of the Paris Police:
From January A, 1918, to November
IS there were thirty-nine shooting af-
fairs. From June to December there
were six cases Of this kind. During
January there were three cases Of at
tempted murder, one of manslaughter,
thirteen of assault and battery, six Of
robbery and seven Of thefts of auto
mobiles.
