GERMANS REFUSE
TO SIGN TREATY
MARSHAL FOCH ISSUES ORDERS
TO INVADE GERMANY AND
AMERICANS ARE READY

Weimar, June 17.-Phillip
Scheidemann, the head of the Ger
man cabinet, in speaking to the
peace commission of the national as
sembly here today, declared that the
allied reply to the German counter
proposals without the complete text
did not yet permit of final Judgment
and that premature Judgment would
be a mistake.
''In view of the obscurities at pres
ent," the premier said land the fact
that all the material Is not yet to
hand, a decision cannot be taken to-
day-Tuesday. Only the final and
complete text of the enemy's answer
can furnish basis for deliberations
between the government and the
peace committee.
The German nation, the national
assembly and the government are
confronted with the most mometous
decision. II is, therefore, their duty,
whatever as individuals they may
think of the peace question, to ap-
proach this decision with an entirely
open mind. No one must have any
doubts that the nation is confronted
with very hard times"
Herr Scheidemann deplored the
absense of adequate protection for
the German delegates on their de-
parture from Versailles. He said a
protest had been made but that the
government would reserve its atti-
tude until an official report had
been received.
Deal, Eng, June 1S.-Eight Am
erican steamers laden with provis-
ions for Germany are detained in the
Downs pending the signing of the
peace treaty.
Berlin, June 17.--Commenting on
the allied reply to the German coun-
ter proposals to the terms of peace,
the Frankford Gazette says:
Whatever We do will be terrible.
Germany is in no position to refuse
to sign the treaty when the signature
is forced by an ultimatum. Let US
resign ourselves to the inevitable
and hope for better future"
Coblenz. June 1.-THE concentra-
ton of troops preparatory to advanc-
ing furthr into Grmany IL the Ger
mans refuse to sign the terms OF
peace will begin Wednesday through
out all the occupied territory. Or
ders to this effect were received to-
day from Marshal Foch. commander
in-chief of the allied armies, who
sent similar orders to all the allied
forces on German soil.
Lieut.. Gen. Hunter Liggett, COM
mander of the American forces in
the Coblenz area. said that the AM
erican forces were all ready to move
at a moments notice.
Weimar, June 17.-No statement
has been inssued by the German cab
met on the allied reply to the Ger
man counter proposals. but the As
ISOLATED Press learns that sentiment
is almost unanimously against sign
ing the treaty, the only objection be-
ing the possibility of bolsevism and
choas in Germany.
The cabinet met at noon and con-
tinued its sessions until late in the
day. The peace commission began
celebrating on the entente answer at
six O'Clock tonight. A number OF
the cabinet members and other dig
nitaries stayed up all night to read
the allied terms without delay. In
/ dignation is said to be increasing in
Weimar.

EXTRA TO PAVE

The town of Extra is going to have
paved streets if present plans ma
ture. The proposed resolution OF
necessity was published last week
and the "kickers' meeting" has been
set for July It'll. The resolution
calls for concrete paving and II there
are no serious objections the resolu-
tion will be passed. The streets of
Extra were in terrible shape this
spring and we do not blame the peo-
pie for wanting to get away from the
old order of things and getting into
another class. Sooner or later the
main roads in the country will be
paved and there is no reason why
progressive town like Extra should
not have paved streets to connect up
with the main roads leading into the
town There was also some talk of
paving the main street at Kimballton,
but we have motto heard of any con-
crete action being taken in the mat
ter.

LACK OF LABOR CAUSES HALT IN
 BUILDING PLAN

"The War Department has today de- cided to stop the campaign for public building throughout the United States" 1t is today announced by Col onel Arthur Woods, Assistant to the Secretary of War.
 This decision was taken because the decrease of unemployment in many localities has been so marked that some difficulty is reported in ob- taining soldier labor for the normal industrial occupations. It is there fore considered that the further stim- ula.tion of public building at rnfs time would be inadvisable.
 The energies devoted in the past to the stimulation of public build ing, it was further stated, will now particularly be turned into assisting professional and technical men fn finding jobs. The work of placing this class of ex-soldiers presents unusual difficulties because the demand for the high grade of ability possessed by these men is not at present in such great demand as ordinary labor An active campaign, however, is being conducted to secure information from trade assiciatons, technical societies, professional societies and large em- ployers with a view to finding all possible opportunities for discharged army men who qualify in this way.

Theatre Reviews
PARK.

It Is very rare for audiences to even glimpse an opportunity of a dramat- ist, and 1t ts considered in these days rather questionable taste for an au- thor to make a speech before the curtain after a first performance. It win RoyIe to refrain from speech making, but when his new play, "Cinderella's Sin'' is presented here theatre-goers of the ctty-while not having the chance to hear him make a speech-will nevertheless see one of the great American dramatists of the day appearing in his own play, as he is cast for the role of Able Re- maud in "Cinderella's Sin."
 MT. Royle is well known to theatre goers in this country and England as :he author of ''The Squaw Man." that will be recalled as one of the very de- lightfuI successes of the American stage. and this play was equally pop ular when 1t was presented in Lon don.
 The Misses Josephine and Selena Royle, MT. Royle's daughters, are well-known society girls who have en- tered the theatrical profession and are two of the youngest actresses on the stage; they are graduates of the Low, Haywood School at Shippan Point Conn.,, and are very popular in social circles in New York, Con- necticut and Long Island.
 'tCinderella's Sin" will open Bridge ports regular theatrical season with one performance Saturday night Aug uSt 9th.

$ A REAL GENIUS

In an interview with Lou Tellegen at the Goldwyn studios written by the well known art and dramatic critic, Anthony Anderson, MT. Tellegen paid a tribute to Maurice Tourneur. He said: 'I have just seen The White Heather at Grauman's. The man who can put such amazing vitality into that old Drury Lane me1odrama is certainly a genius in directing"
 "Ah, Maurice Tourneur-his power is fiendish, he can make anything live. He is indeed a genius, a masi- clan, another of the Titans. He is an old friend. I know him well. Ten years ago, when I was playing in Shakespeare repertoire at the Odeon, Paris, he was stage director as clever as the devil. And he, too, has the imagination, the sense for artistic beauty"

LARGE PACKERS CAUSE PRICE OF
 SHOES TO SOAR

The Federal Trade Commission has found that the high price of shoes can not be Justified by underlying economic conditions. The Commission after exhaustive inquiry into the price of hides, leather and shoes, is reporting to Congress that the lar ger packers control the hide supply and have taken excessive profits and passed increased costs to subsequent steps in manufacture and distribu- tion: that the tanner has taken ex- ceptional profits; that the manufac- turer of shoes has taken unusual mar gins and that prices charged by re- tailers are not tustifiable, each fac tor in the industry adding to the burden he had to bear before ne passed it on to the next.
 The summary of the Commissions report is as follows:
 CD Between 1914 and 1917 the prices of hides, the principal factor in the cost of producing leather, greatly advanced and the differential between country hides and packer hides increased beyond the usual pro- portion, due to the more marked in crease fin the price of packer hides.
 (2) Though there was an increase in the cost of hides to the tanner, the prices of his product-leather- advanced to a point that could not be Justified by the cost of producing it. This conclusion is supported by the high rates of return on investment received by tanners. (3) The cost of manufacturing shoes increased greatly between 1914 and 1917, but, as evidenced by the high rates of return on investment not to an extent that warranted the prices at which manufacturers sold their product
 (D The absolute margins of profit taken by retail shoe merchants per pair of shoes grew wider as their costs increased because their rate of profit remained substantially with out change.
 (5) As a result the public had to pay prices for shoes that could not be justified not only because retail shoe dealers took too much profit but because the dealer had to pass on to the consumer the excessive pro- fits received by butchers for hides and also the excess profits of tanners and shoe manufacturers.

WONDERFUL THING

Frank E. Woods. the Paramount supervising director at Hollywood, owes his success to his ability to get perfect cooperation from the writers who work with him. MT. Woods says they work WITH him and that he could not accomplish the work he does if 1t were otherwise. No writer thinks he is too big to take advice from Frank Woods and there is no man in the business who has done more for earnest writers than he has. To work with him is an education to be sought by those who honestly want to become professional photoplay writers.
