Big Crowds at
The Colonial

It seems hardly necessary 70 s0y
there were big crowds at the Colonial
theatre yesterday. With the two DIG
attractions offered it was only nat
ural the theatre should be packed. 1t
is safe to say that this will be the sit
uation today. for Alice Joyce In the
Lion and the Mouse" and the Mack
Sennett comedy Uncle Tom without
q Cabin are two offerings that
would pack any theatre.
OF all the plays that have been
successful on the stage during the
past twenty years, there has been
none that has enjoyed greater pa
tronage than "The Lion and the
Mouse" written by Charles Klein.
The screen version is fully az abb
sorbing as the stage production; in
fact, it is even more interesting, for
the screen provides opportunities
that the stage never could and the
great story Of this great play is driv-
en- home in a manner that could new
er be equalled by a spoken presenta-
ton. Miss Joyce as Shirley Ross
more is beautiful. appealing and at
all times convincing as the little
Mouse who brings the mighty finan-
cial lion to his knees.
Theme 10 Fascinating
The theme is fascinating and i'm
pelling, and the picture filled with
dramatic situations and swift in ac-
ton. 1t is the story Of the master
financial mind and power Of the uni
verse brought to his knees by a girl
not by a frail girl. but by a pretty,
clever and determined American girl,
who knew a wrong had been done not
alone to her own kin but to the
world, and who set about not only to
Undo the wrong but to undo it in a
manner that would make such
wrongs impossible in the future to
others.
1t is a story of tremendous appeal.
this crushing of the fallacy that
might, money might, makes right;
and the story is convincingly told.
There is strong love interest, for the
girl in fighting to save her father be-
ing crushed by this octopus of mil
lions, fights also for her own love.
for she loves his son and he turns
against his own father to help her.
And the girl, by her cleverness and
bravery, when she has brought the
colossus to his knees, is rewarded not
only by her fathers vindication but
by his wrathful demand that his son
marry such girl. for he had not
known she was the daughter of the
man he sought to crush in his tre-
mendous battle for more than world
wide power.
There is nothing Of the impossible
in what the girl does: the whole
thing is human. and therein lies the
secret of its popular grip on the peo-
pie. 1t is play and picture that

MISTAKE IN NAMING
PERSHING DISCOVERED

That a mistake was made in the
commission as permanent general of
John ]. Pershing, and that he will
have to be recommissioned, to COM
ply with the law. was pointed out to-
day by Chairman Kahn of the House
military affairs committee.
In the letters from the White House
recommending the honoring of Gen.
Pershing with the permanent rank of
general the wording was general of
the Regular Army" Chairman Kahn
points out that the law provides for
'the grade of general of the armies
of the United States"
Mr.. Kahn also emphasizes that this
may mean a ruling by the auditor of
the Treasury Department that there
is no such Office as general of the
Regular Army, and that it may mean
a loss Of pay for Gen. Pershing until
he is recommissioned.

SENATOR MYERS Warns
Tor POLICE STRIKE SEQUEL
Apprehends Soviet Form of Gov
eminent if Spreading of Radi-
calism Is Not Checked.

Senator Myers of Montana in a
speech in the Senate today predicted
that the unionizing Of police forces
in various cities, unless checked at
once, will be followed by efforts to
unionize the Army and Navy, and that
the next step will be an attempt to
establish a soviet form Of government
in the United States.
Senator Myers predicted that the
threatened strike among the field
operatives will be followed by a
nationwide railroad strike and a
strike among the coal miners. Then.
he said. with the police forces and
possibly the Army unionized and the
country threatened with freezing and
starvation this winter by the strikes,
terrible state of affairs will exist.
Senator Myers said that steps were
now under way in fifty cities to union
ize the police forces. He did not think
this was the result of any psychology
cal wave of thoughts among the po-
licemen: it was due, he said. to syste-
matte efforts of some power intent
upon bringing about radical changes
In government conditions in this coun-
try. He said that radical leaders
among the labor men were, in his
opinion. deliberately proposing terms
which they knew could not be accept
ed. SO that strikes will follow and
general unrest exist. in furtherance
of the ends of sovietism.
Touching upon the local situation
Senator Myers said he had this morn
ing urged members of the District
committee of the Senate to take IA
vorable action upon his resolution to
prevent use Of Congress appro-
priations to pay unionized police
men in this district. He said it is
quite evident that 1t devolves upon
Congress to deal with the police ques-
ton here. He referred to the disor-
ders in Boston as a result of the DO
licemens' strike there.

Trains Brought Crowds.

Special trains came from all parts
of North Dakota carrying farmers
who wanted to hear Mr.. Wilson. Bis
marck, which has only 1000 popula-
ton. seemed crowded. Motor cars
med the thoroughfares. And the
newspaper printed in display type
every word Of the Presidents speech.
There is no question about the fact
Mr.. Wilson by virtue of his high Of
fee gets attention and publicity
He is driving home the impression
that he is aiming to secure world
peace, and the people hereabouts need
but to be reminded of the horrors Of
the recent war to shudder at the pros
pect of more conflict in a disturbed
world. Perhaps the most effective
question which the President, after
admitting that the covenant of the
league of nations is an experiment,
asks Of his audiences is this: IF you
knew that the covenant made the
chance Of war less probable by only
10 per cent, would not 1t be worth
tryingT
And his audiences shout an affirma-
tive answer. If Mr.. Wilson had held
the covenant up as an absolute guar
antee against war he would not have
been persuasive hereabouts; but he
simply contends that whereas the old
order has produced the most terrible
war in history, the league of nations
may succeed in making war violently
improbable. With the analysis Of the
league in articles and the many
phases of the treaty. the people in
this region are not familiar and seem
TO care less. They are impressed by
the general principles and purposes.
And when the President insists that
the covenant provides nine months
of discussion in which nations with
warlike passion may cool OFF his
homely illustrations do not fail to
make an impression. If the President
does as well in other states as he is
doing in the northwest he will have
created a powerful sentiment by the
time he returns to Washington.
