STONES COMEDY is
FINE ARTS ASSERTS
RENOWNED CRITIC

James Huneker. one of America S
foremost art critics, has ranked Fred
stone as the leading comedian, aero
bat and dancer in the country. 1t was
he who pointed out so trenchantly
about a year ago that Mr.. Stone S
work belongs in the realm of the fine
arts, and that the elastic Fred has
brought to the American stage a dis
tinctive genius for fun making
Now this genius has been transfer
red to the films and hundreds of thou
sands of persons. who have hehetofore
been deprived of seeing Fred Stone. be-
cause of living a great distance from
the metropolitan centers where he ap-
peared, will have chance to view his
really extraordinary art. His work is
difficult to define; it consists of flashes
of real acting, "A humor that is spon-
taneoUs and human acrobatic skill
that gives the spectator the idea that
Mr.. Stons has no bones in his body
and wonderful dancing that is a.bso-
lutely individual
All these elements are combined in
his second Aircraft picture, :'Under the
Top which will be shown at the Ar
cade theatre Sunday and Monday
This charming comedy drama of cir
Gus life, which was writt4 by Anita
Loos and John Emerson and scenario
lied by Gardner Hunting Ronald
Crisp directed the picture and he was
assisted by Nat Deverich.

RAINBOW MEN
START FOR HOME
New York City's Famous 69th
is Among the
Units

Coblenz, April 1.-Two more train
loads of happy, smiling soldiers of
the 42d (Rainbow) Division started
Saturday afternoon for home by way
OF Brest. The soldiers composed the
as5th Infantry Regiment, New York
Sty's famous seth Division head
quarters and attached units left this
morning.
There were cheers, but no tears,
as the trains pulled out. The SOL
diers were in the highest spirits as
they waved farewell to their COM
radeS who are to follow within the
next few days. German civilians
stood in the background. but gave
no indication of their feelings. In
the railroad yards near Remangen,
where the soldiers of the Rainbow
Division boarded the trains for Brest,
there are a number of soldiers from
the Fourth (regular) division who
are scheduled to stay on the Rhine
until the job is done. They looked
on with grim faces to-day as the
trains pulled out.
Major General Flagler, the COM
mander of the Rainbow Division, left
Ahrweiler several weeks ago and is
expected to land in Boston next
week, to make preparations for the
landing of his troops. 1t is not
known here where the various units
of the division will disembark, both
New York and Boston being men,

EARLY PEACE IS
NOW APPARENT
Much of the Uncertainty
Seems to Have Been
Dispelled

Paris. April THE confident
statement of Premier Lloyd George that
the peace treaty will be concluded by
Easter. is supported by predictions re-
peatedly made by less prominent men,
bers of the peace conference and dis
PEELED much of the hopelessness and
uncertainty in which many important
problems of the conference seemed TO
have been enshrouded.
Even the announcements of serious
Bolshevik troubles in Bavaria and the
danger of break with Italy over the
Adriatic problem, apparently did not af-
feet the optimism of the leaders of the
British, French and American delega-
tions.
Agree OH Rcparations
The Council of Four on Saturday
reached an agreement on the principles
of the indemnities and reparations to
be paid by Germany and examination
of the details will begin Immediately,
the newspapers say. 1t is not believed
there will be any disagreement as TO
details. and it is indicated that the
text of the financial terms will be
finished during the week.
The Echo De Paris says that COM
promises were effected on all debatable
points regarding the sum to be paid at
once by Germany and the payments in
the future. Against the opposition of
the French government, it was agreed,
the paper says TO distribute the future
payments over a term of thirty years.
The payments for the next few years
were fixed
France and Belgium First
The Journal says there are irdica-
tions that the rights of France and Bel
gium to prior consideration in the pay
ments by Germany have been recog-
nized. The first German payment. it
says. will he 25.000,0 100000 francs, of
which five billion will go to pay for
raw materials to insure the resumption
of German economic life. France will
get ten billion francs and Belgium five
billion OF the first payment. The rest
of the indemnity, the paper says, will
run over n period of thirty-five years.
Plans for continued occupation of the
left bank of the Rhine have been aban-
doned and the allies will depend upon
an economic blockade as the means of
pressure on Germany Final agreement
on the Rhine and Sarre VALLEY ques-
tions will he reached before the end of
the week. it is added.
Inct eased optimism in diplomatic cir
Cles is noted by the press, while in edi-
torials the newspapers express satisfac-
ton over the progress made on the
question of reparation and indemnity. 1t
is pointed out that each day of delay in
reaching final agreement adds TO the
losses of France.
The favorable solution of the Danzig
question is commented upon in compli-
mentary terms. The moral and politi-
cal advantages of the agreement are en-
phasized by the papers.

tions. He told how a railroad classi-
fication yard as big as the Harris
burg yards of the Pennsylvania, was
laid out and built in six months and
made one of the main supports of
the American army. The French
said it could not be done in four
years, but methods that built Enola
yards were used and Baldwin en-
gines were using its ninety-two miles
of tracks in just half year.

two cents and if any one gives more
