Army of TrotzEy Rules over Russia
People wonder why the Bolshe-
wiki have held on so long. The secret
lies first in this military force. Trot-
zky has reestablished discipline in
his army. URder Kerensky all discl-
pline went to pieces, and all Russia
became disorganized. So 1t happens
that one small, autocratic force, well
disciplined, is able to rule over the
great unorganized a of the Rus
slams.
THE statement that allied inter-
vention would drive the Russian peo-
pie into the arms of the Bolsheviki
comes generally from people who do
not know the facts first hand. The
people are no more pro-Bolsheviki
than they are pro-German, n have
the greatest friendship for the allies"

TheatKe NewS

Maurice Tourneur's epic production,
Woman" which ONE to the Strand
theatre on Monday, Is unique in many
ways. For one thing the photo offer
ing is remarkable in the number of
beautiful women utilized In telling
the story and the few men necessary
to the unfolding of the plot.
MY new picture" says Mr.. Tour
neur, reflects the spirit of the day.
Women = women - everywhere. We
find women in every position these
days and 1t Is quite natural to turn
out an almost wholly feministic pro-
duction."
At the Ditmas
A new adventure story, with in
trigue and romance closely inter-
woven in the gripping plot, will be
shown at the Ditmas tomorrow and
Saturday, Hitting the High Spots"
with Bert Lytell as the star.
Following his usual ours this
young actor~is again seen in q red
blooded drama which gives him great
opportunity for his dramatic as well
as athletic abilities.
The story takes tho beholder to
Mexico with the young engineer who
has determined to save some Amert-
can-owned oil wells from being con-
fiscated by rebel Mexicans in a fierce
and bloody revolution. He Is met
with treachery and disaster nearly
oyerwhelms him. He is saved, how
ever, by the devotion of q young girl
whom he had befriended earlier in
the play. Having conquered in his
fight for the Oil wells he has almost
lost the girl he loves. How he comes
out on top is th%rillingly shown in this
clever play which is unusual in its
many unique and daring situations.
Delightful and charming, The
Love Net" will be shown also tomor-
row and Saturday. Madge Evans is
the t OF this pleasing production.
and Jack Drummer, who has a big
role in the picture, is featured with
her.
Many of the scenes for The Love
Net were made at Marblehead,
Mass, where the entire
vent for the purpose of taking these
scenes, and these scenes are Of Z
ceptional beauty and interest.

GARDEN LURES
AMATEURS CAMERAS
War Workers Also Find Flower
Land a Delightful Spot for
MONDAY Lunching.

There's a new open-air Photographic
patronized by men in uniform and
war workers. There were more than
10000 pictures snapped" there dur
ing the last week. This is in the Ma
tional Botanic Garden. which is a
favorite haunt of the young people
who have been brought to Washing
ton by the war emergency.
Cameras have been conspicuous for
months in the garden, and during the
last week the guards kept track as
well as they could Of the number of
pictures taken. Strangers in the city
who visit the garden can now get
from the guards information as to
the favorite rookeries and the best
backgrounds with the Capitol in the
vista for taking snapshots. but the
Bartholdi fountain still claims first
place for popularity.
Lunch time daily finds several hun
dred War-workers eating their l1nch-
es under the trees or on the lawns
Of the garden. Supt. Hess has found
adequate to accommodate these who
come to the garden with books or
fancy work to spend an afternoon.
and he has ordered q number Of new
benches. He is also having retiring
rooms fitted up and drinking foun-
tains installed.
The Botanic Garden is the beauty
rest spot in the heart of the city and
daily becoming more popular. The
annual pilgrimage Of school parties
to historic Washington has begun.
and nearly every day large parties of
boys and girls from all parts of the
country are conducted about the gar
dens. and take special interest in
the museum of plant life to which
Supt. Hess has devoted especial care.
Many spring and early summer
flowers are now in bloom-iris. lilies
of the valley, pansies. etc. but the
most unusual attraction just now Is
the hawthorne blooms. Two large
trees one pink and the other red
blooms, are at either side of the
north entrance from Pennsylvania

THRILL IN SWOOP OF HAWK
Pity for the Victim Cannot Altogether
Overcome Admiration for
Bird Of Prey.

Although the hawk undoubtedly has
a right to his dinner. there Is frequent
ly little sympathy shown for the bird
OF prey, but much for the victim that
furnishes forth the feast.
1t Is thrilling sight to see a fish
hawk, sailing hundred feet or more
above a rapidly flowing stream. sud
denly bring his wings nearly together
above his back and fall like a plunmet
to the water below. The action is rapid,
the wings are In motion by the time
the water Is reached. and out OF the
spray energies the hawk with 4 fine
fish In his talons, to be borne away to
the accompaniment Of flashing drops
thrown from the struggling fish
one day on IA suburban lawn mother
oriole had c0nxed y0ungster out OF
the pendent nest, hung on the extreme
end OF branch where no enemy could
ind entrance. Just as the little one
was making the Acquaintance Of all
outdoors a sharp-eyed hawk saw the
newcomer. and in an instant the oroIe
was taking his first aud last flight In
the possession Of the hawk while the
mother flew alongside pouring out her
heart In rage and pain. Thus they
passed out OF sight.
The strength OF the hawks foot Is
remarkable. Some years ago a hunter
shot hen hawk Of large size, breaking
wing. Down came the hawk and the
hunter advanced to secure the chicken
thief. The wounded bird made no at
tempt to run but faced his foe When
q few feet only separated them he
jumped and attempted to fasten his
talons In the hunters foot. A pair Of
heavy hunting boots We're nearly cut
through as the sharp claws slipped off
the ihstep. Had the hawk got fair
hold the foot would have been pierced. |
