" THE MIDNIGHT PATROL
 IS COMING NEXT WEEK

Among the programs to be shown at the Empress next week is The Mid night Patrol" Thomas H. Ince fea- ture that will prove of especial interest to the theater-going public. In com pleting this, Mr. Ince realized an am- bition of long standing-to produce & picture that would portray the valor and bravery of the American police man.
 The most sensational story of the Chinese underworld ever screened, "The Midnight Patrol" is melodrama but it is the sort of melodrama that will appeal to the most conservative MT. Ince spent weeks in a close study of conditions in the Chinese quarter of Los Angeles, and tricks, devices and underground tunnels for which the willy Orietal is so famous were carefully reproduced. Treating as it does, with a phase of police work with which the public is entirely unfamiliar, "The Midnight Patrol" is certain to prove popular with lovers of heroes and heroic deeds.
 Watch for the announcement of it's booking.

WALLACE ANSWERS FOR UNCLE SAM

Hugh C. Wallace, ambassador to France, is much in the public eye these days, inaSmuch as he now represents the United States in connection with the activities of the supreme council of the allies at Paris. For instance. il was he who informed the council that the United States government has refused to accept any of the indemnity to be paid by Germany for the de- Struction of the German fleet in Scapa Flow.
 Germany, in compensation for the Scapa Flow sinkings, is requested to deliver to the allies certain inland steamers. floating docks and tugs. and the council had awarded ? per cent Jf this material to the United States.
 State department officials have not explained the American govern Tnent'S objection, but it was recalled that American peace representatives favored destruction of the German ships on the ground that their division among the other powers would make

BIG HIGHWAY PROJECTSFOR
 THE WEST

HELENA. Mont, March 12 (by As Sociated Press) Two new highways, one to extend north and south al most across the western part of the United States and the other to con- meet Great Falls and Helena through the canyon of the Missouri river. have been proposed by the commer- ] Gjal clubs of Great Falls and thls city. While discussions thus far have been merely tentative, it is hoped to proceed with the preliminarles dur ing 1920 in order to be prepared for construction work during 1921.
 The proposed north-and-south high way is an ambitious project. It is proposed to build an automobile road from Banff Lake Louise and the Rocky Mountain parks of Canada to Salt Lake City and probably thence to Zion national park and the north edge of the Grand Canyon.
 AS proposed, the highway would have on it's itinerary Grand Canyon, Zion Canyon, Great Salt Lake, Yel- lowstone Park. the Lewis and Clark national monument, the Gate of the Mountains, Missouri River Canyon, the Great Falls of the Missouri. Gla- .- cier park, Banff, Lake Louise and other national known scenic wonders. It would tap the National Old Trails road of Southern California. the Lin- coln highway, the Pike's Peak Ocean to-Ocean highway, the Rainbow route,

compromise of the territorial greed Of
the allies and Japan. The task Of toe
article was to dispose fairly of the Ger
man and Turkish colonies. 1t instituted
the so-called mandatory system, and was
devised by President Wilson. 1t abol-
ishes the custom on the part Of great
atoms Of grabbing lands and subju-
eating peoples by the force of might, and
establishes instead a general protection
OF the weak and uncivilized peoples o!
the earth under the auspices Of the
league. Civilized nations like Armenia
and Albania are left free to choose tn
nation which they desire to receive 4
mandate for their government, and that
nation is subject to a review OF its AZ
lions by the lehgue. Also, IL may reject
or accept a mandate. According TO the
Will of It's government and people. For
instance, Armenia and the league desire
the United States 10 accept a mandate
for Armenia. but 1t rests wholly with tho

do so.
