It stands to reason-you can't get
away from the facts that the travel
ing mems or drummers' big salaries
and heavy expenses have to be met
by the ultimate consumer. There is
no argument that can be produced
which will successfully refute this
statement. The time will likely come
when representatives of wholesale and
jobbing houses throughout the country
will be compelled to dispense with the
high-priced men whose salaries and
travelling expenses are tackled onto
almost everything the consumer, uses.
High cost Of living!" Is it any won
der when an army Of men are sent
over the country at big salaries which
have to be paid by the people who eat
the bacon, the beans or use the COM
modities which the wholesalers and
trusts place on the market?

Dorothy Phillips, the greatest emo
tional actress of the day, heads an all
star cast In this super-production. In
all, more than three thousand actors
have been employed in making this
the most wonderful entertainment yet
conceived by the brain of man. -
Miss Phillips work in ''The Heart
of Humanity" has elevated her to the
highest peak of dramatic achievement.
She has been hailed by critics every
where as the greatest emotional &C.
tress that has yet appeared before the
public.
Money was spent lavishly with an
absolute disregard for expense, to
make "The Heart of Humanity the
marvel that it is. Several "big
scenes" in this notable production are
flashed for no more than twenty sec
onds. Yet, individually they cost
thousands of dollars. Indeed, in this
supreme spectacle, the most costly
scenes ever produced are to be OBJ
served.
In one instance, scene which con.
sumes only eighteen seconds to enact,
necessitated an expenditure of $12,852.
And this was only one of the hundreds
of scenes which has caused "The
Heart of Humanity to be known as
the most wonderful entertainment
ever presented to the public. The to-
tal>cost of producing this unrivalled
feature was close to one.half q mil.
lion dollars.
Residents OF this city have good
cause to feel gratifed when they learn
that '"The Heart of Humanity'A will
be shown here soon. It is a produo
ton that will never be forgotten.

RUSSIA and Germany.
Germany, we are told, looks to soviet
Russia for intimate trade relations.
Doubtless. That was part of Ger
many's purpose in promoting the es-
tablishment Of the soviet government
in Russia. Under a strong democratic
government Russia would be indepen-
dent and could effectively resist Ger
man exploitation. Under bolshevik
misgovernment Russia would be a
mere appanage to Germany, enabling
the latter to develop strength that
might again make her menace to
civilization. The solution of the prob
lem thus presented must be Obvious.
1t is to encourage Russian democracy
to do away with bolshevism and to as
sert itself for the independence Of
Russia.-Harvey's Weekly. Il

BERNIE, March 2.-The allies must
act Immediately If the westward

Prince, WindlschsGraetz. Hungarian
statesman and chief adviser of En-
peror Karl during the last year OF
the dual monarchy, told The United
Press today.
The prince declared that Rumanla

barrier against the deluge OF rad

strengthened or it cannot hold.
what is happening in Hun
gary has been foretold by every Hun
garian politician during the last six
months" said Windisch- -Graetz.
Unfortunately, the entente states
men did not believe us. Most OF
them thought the danger Of bolshev-
ism was just some new Instrument
of German propaganda to undo or
reduce the allied victory. Others
believed bolshevism to be sort Of
political grippe which would attack
only defeated countries. 1t is trag-
ical that the visionary words of Lord
Miner last September were not
listened to.
THE same elements which have
now openly usurped power in Buda-
pest overthrow me and my colleagues
last autumn. At that they have not
felt strong enough to appear at the
forefront in. European politics, and
have used Count Karolyi as their rep
resentative and standard bearer.
From the first days Of his rule, how
ever, he was helpless puppet in
bolshevist hands. Day by day he was
forced more to the left (radicalsm). !"
Asked if the present situation left
any hope of checking the spread Of
bolshevism, the prince replied:
"The communist organization in

this dam is, only the entente authori-

once. Bolshevism, like time and
tide, waits for no man.
Neither the peasants nor the

PARIS, March 26.-A treaty en-
bracing all the enemy countries in
stead of preliminary pact with Ger
many, is now being planned in an eff
fort to speed up the peace settle
ment, It was learned from an authori-
tative source today.
The best guess as when such a
treaty would be ready for submission
to the enemy powers by calling in
their delegates, is May /.
This plan completely upsets the
program along which the peace con-
ference has been working for the past
month. 1t Is not yet certain that the
new scheme will be carried out, but
some OF the delegates point out that
various questions are so inter-related
that the time will be saved in the long
run by tying all the treaties to-
igether.
A further advantage to be obtain
ed through a. joint treaty Is that 1t
would make Germany responsible for
all her allies by binding her up in a
pact in which they were parties. This
was the only immediate explanation
for the radical change in the trend
OF the conference work. 1t has been
stated on all sides for some time
past that speed Is one Of the utmost
Importance and it is understood that
the Hungarian situation has accen
tuated the demand. 1t has also been
pointed out that trying to limp the
treaties inevitably will mean some de-
lay, but that such plan ultimately
will save time.
One explanation possibly lies in the
economic problems in which the great
est difficulties are being encountered.
1t Is now known the economic com
mittees, including the one handlfng
reparation, are far from completing
their work which involves the entire
economic future of the world, espe-
cially Europe.

George, Clemenceau and Orlando
