KEENEY'S THEATER..

Large and satisfied audiences saw the shows at keeney's yesterday and it is apparent that although not as we'll known in local theaters as some other actresses, the charming Ethel Clayton has a sure chance to win her way iuto the favorites' class very shortly. This young star has been a success in every picture she has ap- peared in and in the production she Is in at Keeney's The Girl Who Came Back, Miss Clayton does the best work of her career. No one should fail to see this picture if pos sible as anyone who attended the theater yesterday will agree.
 The latest episode of |'The Iron Test is also on the bill today and in addition there are several shorter pie lures of the usual first class standard. Tomorrow the latest chapter of ''The Hand of Vengeance" will be shown and Thursday. Friday and Saturday, Dorothy Dalton will be the attraction in her great war drama, "Vive La Franca'.
 The vaudeville for today is extra good and received 8 generous amount of applause at yesterdays shows. Nor talane, Riano and Nortalane in their rapid-fre come 1y sketch had the audience laughing from the time they started the act until the end.

I'm very glad" Aa said earnestly. Then with the boyish whimsical phrasing I had noticed before, he said: "I suppose it's Lad poliey for a principal to show eagerness in en- gazing an instructor, but if you could see some of the misfits with which l have had to put up with because of the meagre salaries and opportunities of the village schools you'd realize how glad l am that the War--and the baby--have led so we'll equipped a person as yourself back to the educa- tional pastures, and into my par ticular little enclosure"

 NO chance" he retorted. unless domesticity has made you forget the qualifications which brought forth such glowing eulogies from Dr. x"
 I flushed with pleasure. for he had named my old superintendent, under whom I had taught for years, and whose letter of recommendation, when I had sent to him for one was filled with approving phrases enough to make any teachers soul lift itself in self-approva1.
 "Dr. Ks opinion is good enough for me- MT. stockbridge went on smil ing, ESQ ofwe'll have no more forebod- ings if you please"
 I had sub-conscious impression that the conversation was becoming a bit too personal, and that MT. Stock bridge had spoken truly when he had said that he had hard time minding his p's and as. There certainly was vrey little of the dignity which I had been accustomed to in high school principals. hurrtedly asked a ques- ton which as yet had had no oppor- tunity to put
 When does school open?" I asked.
 He rose from his chair almost as if the question had pushed him from his seat.
 Three weeks from Monday" he answered. 1T will see that the con- tract is sent to you at once. And I'll send you a comprehensive outline of the work to be covered, so that 1t won't be necessary for me to see you before the opening of school.''
 AS he made his courteous adieux I said to myself that if MT. Stockbridge were a bit boyishly unconventional in his manner he was also the quickest person to take 8 subtle hint of any one I had ever seen.

WOULD REPEAL ACT.

London, Jan. 1.-iBritish business men seem practically unani1n ous, ac- cording to reports from the Am erican Chamber of Commerce in London, in demanding the immediate death of Dora" the Defense of-the- Realm act. Only a few restrictions are approved by business men generally, except that men engaged on what they believe to be tkey'' industries are much inter- ested in developments in the govern ment's plans for protecting them. Financial men, it is said. are expect ing a marked continuance and devel- opment of many of the financial re- strictions with a view to the protec- ton of the European finances during the long reconstruction period.

HAS RIGHT TO SUE
Man Who Did Not Authorize Opera
 tion Can Demand Damages.

Boston, Jan. 1.-The Massachu- sets supreme court has given Ed ward R. Purchase of Springfield the right to maintain a suit for $1O,000 damages against Dr. Ralph H. Seelye of that city growing out of an alleged unauthorized surgical operation.
 It appeared in evidence that Pur- chase, a tool foreman for the Boston and Albany railroad, was injured in the course of his duties. Dr Seelye, the railroad surgeon, was called in to operate and. mistaking Purchase for another patient, operated on the left side when Purchases injury was on the right, according to testimony Later a second operation was per formed on the right side. After Pur- chase returned to work he made a settlement with the road, signing a release which included the railroad company, it's officers, agents and ser wants.
 The lower court ruled that the re- lease was a bar to Purchases action against the doctor, and the case was referred to the supreme court on ex- captions.

CATHOLICS PLEDGE
 OVER ONE MILLION
Half Of This Will Be to Help
 Disabled Soldiers

Washington, Jan. 1.---More than a million dollars was today pledged by the National Catholic War Council at it's headquarters here toward new year plans to provide for the future of the three million men already beginning to lay aside army and navy uniforms. Half a million dollars is to be de- voted to the after care of disabled marines while almost a quarter of a million apiece will start widespread employment and vocational training campaigns. Thousands of trained men and women workers are now be- ing sent throughout the country by this Catholic organization to CO., operate with government bureaus in these first undertakings, in it's recon structton program.
 For crippled and invalided fighters, many of whom must need special care for the rest of their lives, the services of committees of Catholic women are being enlisted in every central com munity in this country. Hundreds of trained nurses and specialS workers have been put at the disposal of the leaders in this after-care campaign, together with the facilities of every Catholic hospital in the land. Im- proved public interests are expected to be brought about by this work, which will be done in close cooperation with local chapters of the American Red Cross.
 A hundred vocational advisory ex- perts and a hundred thousand dollars have today been placed at the dis posal of the United States Board of Vocational Education by the National Catholic War Council. Tn every Catholic college and school, special efforts are being made to interest and train men to cooperate in this vital work of refitting the wounded soldier and sailor for industrial life
 To help every homebound soldier sailor and marine to find a good job, almost two hundred thousand dollars is now being spent in organizing Catholics in community groups to cooperate with the United States Elm ployment Service and other agencies. In Boston, Chicago, New York and Philadelphia, such organizations are already completed and placed at the disposal of the government, while fifty field directors, to coordinate Catholic cooperation in every community, are to the federal directors, by the Recon struction Committee of the National Catholic War Council.

 HAS GOOD RECORD
12,969 Doctors on Duty When
 ArIniStiCe Ends Possibilities

General Headquarters Am erlcan Expeditionary Force, Nov. 26 (Corres- pondence of The Associated Press. J. The prodigious effort of the medical department in the army in France Is revealed in statistics which The Asso- ciated Press is now permitted to make public. When, on November II, the armistice suspended hostilities and the great expansion and extension work of the medical department was sus- pended, there were in operation 283,240 beds in camp and base hos pitals and convalescent camps with about 100000 of them vacant.
 There were on duty in the American Expeditionary Force at that time 12,9S doctors and 8,593 nurses. The authorized nurse strength of the army when America entered the war was 206 and of doctors 300. figures that testify to the work the Medical Corps was called upon to perform.
 The hospitaIization of the army in France is interesting. Basically it consists of mobile organizations. To each division there are four field hos pitfalls, two evacuation hospitals and one mobile surgical hospital and in addition there is fixed capitalization consisting of camp and base outfits and convalescent camps with an authorized beds ca pacity of 15 per cent of the strength of the command.
 There are now S5 camp hospitals serving training and billeting areas, while for general service and for the treatment Of more serious cases and battle casualties there are 115 base hospitals. These base hospitals oc- casionally are single institutions of from 1000 to 5000 beds or are grouped in hospital centers. Twenty such centers of from 2,500 to 15, ,000 beds are in operation.
 Convalescent camps at the bed rate of 20 per cent. of normal hospital beds are authorized for the purpose of giv- ing as early graduated physical train ing as possible, and 15 such camps are in operation at present.
 The American hospitals are partly in French barracks, school buildings and hotels and partly in constructed cantonment of demountab1e buildings All the buildings taken over were re- modelled and outfitted for the purpose lighted and heated and modernized while the demountabIe 11uts are mod els of their kind '"'.'+'

PENAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE KAISER

With his own hand the German kaiser has written
the words which may eventually establish his penal
responsibility for the outrages and barbarities of

stance of Premier Clemenceau, two eminent French
jurists have made an investigation of the Of
William Hohenzollern from purely judicial or
technical point of view They are Ferdinand Ar
nande dean of the Paris law faculty, and Dr. A. G.
Laypaydelle professor of rights of nations in the
same faculty. The principal points considered were
the penal responsibility of Wilhelm, what tribunal
should Judge him. and whether his extradition could
be legally demanded
The findings of the jursts that the kaiser is
responsible for the crimes of the in virtue of

the decision to make war belonged to him alone.
Under the German constitution he could not be
forced to this decsion thereby escaping in part at
least its responsibility. letter written to the Aus
trian Emperor in the early days of the is cited
which contains these self-accusng sentences: "My
soul is torn asunder, but everything must be put
to fire and blood. The Threats of men and women,
children and the aged, must be cut and not tree

THE NATIONS AT THE WORLD 4RAB-BAG

"Claim everything" used to be the maxim of the
old time political bosses in American politics; and
this slogan seems to have been adopted by many
of the nations directly remotely involved in the
deliberations Of the Peace Conference. Proofs of
former occupancy possession of territory desired
by these claimants Forthcoming in amazing
quantity and quality. The Greeks, for example,
base their claims for certain districts in Asia Minor
and other places on the fact that pieces of Greek
statuary architecture have been found in them
in archaeological researches It is evident that the
complainants not putting themselves in danger
of being estopped of the relief sought by any defect
or lack of suf6ciency in their pleadings, for they
have claimed everything within the scope of the
jurisdiction of the world tribunal"
To a Hibernianism it may be said that most
of them expect~to be disappointed as to the major
part of their claims They using the mitralleuse
rather than the rifle in their hunting expeditions,
and if they fail to negotiate stable deer or bear
they hope to bring down at least few quail part
ridges. This grabbing propensity is not confined
to the nations more less remotely connected with
the Allies, but is also noted among the vanquished
group, the parties of the second part. They, too
are lining up with their former opponents for the
distribution of the prizes, like children at Sunday
school celebration. But there must necessarily be
some blank numbers drawn for there are not prizes
enough to go around
Both sets of claimants need to be reminded of
the political variation of the beatitude BLESSED are
they that expect but little, for they shall not be
disappointed" -
