the Rialto theatre. She appears in
the role of Rhoda Candy, a young
girl who is pestered with too many
relatives and who runs away to
get rid of them and then mas
querades as the widow of a man
who is supposed to have commit
ted suicide The role calls for

ent Miss Keefe has all these quail

why she is able to put over this
part so very successfully.
Mary MacLaren has at last
role which gives her the opportun-
ity of being really Mary. In The
Implanted Woman" which is show
ing today at the Rialto theatre,
Miss MacLaren, in the character
of Gudrun Trygavson, portrays a
wholesome, normal, healthy girl
with brains-and the typical Amer
lean woman's resourcefulness to
take care of herself under the most
difficult circumstances
In the veins of the heroine flows
the blood of the Vikings; her soul
is that of a child of nature, fear

Lawrence, Mass, Feb. ia
pitched battle between several hum
dred strikers and their sympathizers
and a squad of 100 policemen was
fought at the gates of the Arlington
mills today. 1t was the most dis
order since the beginning Of the tex
tile strike, a week ago. The police
used their clubs freely. C'ubs and
stones were used by the strikers and
thor sympathizers. Many Of the lat
tec were wounded.
AS fast as they fell. friends
gathered them up and took them
away. Two arrests were made.
The vicinity of the mills has been
the storm center of the strike. To-
day, tie police force was augmented
by policemen from nearby c:.ies on
duty here.
The trouble started when a
mounted officer told some strike
pickets to move along. the strikers
and their sympathizers say the Of
ficer attempted to ride down the
pickets. They in turn tried TO pull
the officer from his horse. Instantly
there was trouble. Using their clubs
the officers struck down their OPP
ponent.s right and left. Strikers and
their sylnpathizers hurled stones at
the ottceS and also brought clubs
into rley. Many store windows were
smashed.
The police finally dispersed the
gathering.
The mills were operating today on
about the same basis as last week.

we're at work but the strike leaders
claimed that their ranks were
sweiled. Strike pickets were every

Wieringen, Holland, Feb. To-
Downright, l. N. S)--In one OF the
most remarkable statements on the
war yet coming from the German
side, Frederick William, late crown
prince of Germany, who Is living mere
in exile, today disclaimed all respon-
sibility for himself and the former
kaiser and declared that the seeds or
the conflict were sown when the en-
tente cordiale was formed by Eng
land, France and Russia.
The former crown prince said ne
wants to go to the United States to
live. He is now writing his memoirs.
The one time heir to the throne
still believes that Germany would
have won if 'the United States had
not entered the conflict.
As to German politics, he asserted
that he does not object to a German
republic, adding that he would rather
be a private citizen than wear a
troubled crown"
The interview, which took the form
Of a cross table conversation, lasted
upwards of two hours. The scene OF
1t was the little cottage in which the
former crown prince is living on this
island. Frederick william defended
his part in the worlds greatest drama
with a frankness that was almost
boyish candor. saying:
Biames Edward VII.

as well as any one else that without
war Germany would gain the COM
mercial supremacy of the world. !
opposed war. knew we could not
hope to win except by a miracle.
What has happened has more than
confirmed my views"
Now they talk of shooting father
and me. How ridiculous!
1T is absurd that men living IN
the twentieth century should talk
such nonsense. They could not pun
ish us more than we have been pun
ished already"
/ asked the former German heir II
it was not blessing that it is now
over. His eyes flashed as he replied:
mo. not as 1t is. The Germans
are mad: the whole world is mad.
What Germany needs is strong
army. 1t is maddening to think thay
can govern without 1t. Might! That
is 1t. That is what the entente with
all Of their boasted Ideals are using.
That Is the only thing that will Sc
cure the success of league of ma
tions. 1t is a case OF the survival Of
the fittest."
After a bit. the speaker went on:
Doesn't Object to Republic.
IF Germany really desires a re-
public like the United States or
France. I will not object. I don I
care for the crown. love my coun-
try, and win gladly return TO work
at the foreign Office or any place else
they want to put me.

Holding Back Artillery.
The Germans are charged with
holding back artillery which should
have been delivered ana with de-
mobilizing fewer than fifty divisions.
The American standpoint is open
and frank, and is understood to be
opposed against the apparent en-
deavor to make. new terms for Ger
many. As a matter OF fact, the
Americans and British hardy under
stand certain statements emanating
from French and other sources, par
ticularly the assertion attributed to
Marshal Foch that the Germans
would be able to collect an army of
three million men by March ]. II is
suggested that this declaration is
designed to offset the demand Of the
American commission that the Amer
lean soldiers Under tsrns sPersfIng be

1t is understood that Capt. Cher

here. However, the attitude of Presi-
