stages in this thriller is the sentation-
al escape from the court room when he
leaps to the balcony and then swings
successfully from three buildings by
means Of a flagpole halyard. One OF
the most effective scenes is said TO be
that showing Mix dropping from the
high nagpole when the rope is pierc-

TURKISH WAR DEBT SMALL
Ottoman Empire Spent Comparatively
Little in the Recent ConvuIsion
Of the World.

The war debt of the Ottoman e1a-
pire is said by experts to have in
creased less than that Of any other
nation. Her bonded Indebtedness
was increased by only one new loan
Of about $S0,000,000, and, adding to
this other increases in obligations,
such as home military requistions
and advances from Austria and Ger.
many, her war expenses ran to only
SGO0,000,000. Consequently, allow:
ing for various offsets, her postwar
indebtedness amounts to about ST.
0o0,30O,0oO.
This would make it appear that
Turkey "ran the war on a shoe
string" financially, as compared to
Great Britain with her $40,000,O00,-
900 war debt, or France with $780,
900, 0,0OU,000, and the United States
with $4,000, 100000 and Italy with
possibly $15,ooo.oo0,ooo. 1t will be
recalled that on paper the Ottoman
empire mobilized nearly 100000
men, yet she escaped with something
like the war expense of a country
like little Roumania or Bulgaria.

Shakespeare Down to Date.

Justice Wayne, dramatic actress,
finds an explanation of the question as
to why Shakespearian plays seldom
win financial reward In what she
terms Shakespeare's inability to give
his productions catchy titles. She sug-
gests a repertoire Of the bard's plays
rechristened to meet popular demands
for stimulating titles. She suggests
"How Could You. Juliet?" as more ap
propriate than plain Romeo and
Juliet" She also would substitute
Call of the Flesh" for 1.-THE Merchant
of Venice" "Strangled in Bed for
"Othello; 1.-The Nutty Princess" for
"Hamlet;" "Henry, Whom Do You
Lover" for Henry "" big Dick" for
"Richard the Third :" 1.-THE Knife" for
Julius Caesar" and Moonlight and

NOTHING WRONG ABOUT SONG
Comedians Need Not Have Worried az
to Words Of Chinese Ditty They
Did Not Understand.

When Fred Stone, the comedian,
was in Washington he told how he
and his old partner, Dave Montgom-
cry, once learned and sang Chinese
song without knowing what it
meant. Eventually the show in
which they we're singing came to
Washington and Montgomery and
Stone were horrifed one night to no
tice that the most prominent box in
the theater was occupied by members
of the Chinese legation. Very nerv-
ously the two actors sang the song
and then hastily retired to their
dressing rooms. A few minutes later
announcement reached them that
the oriental visitors desired to pay
them a call. The two actors almost
passed away fearing that they had"
offended the Chinese with the song,
but finally they braced up and in
vited the Chinese to come in.
."Could you understand that soag
that we sang?" Stone asked anx-
iousl>.
"Oh, yes," the Chinese said.
'What on earth does it mean,"
Stone eagerly inquired.
"Oh nothing,' casually respond
ed the oriental, '*just one, two, three,
four, one, two, three, four"

GARFIELD AND The COAL SITUATION.

The circumstances of the resigna-
ton Of DR.. Harry A. Garfield, fuel aa-
ministratOr, are likely to keep him in
the public eye for some time for the
reason that he Is understood to believe
that the work of the commission au-
thOrized under the settlement, to be
made up of one coal mine operator, a
coal miner and third person named
to represent the public, will result in
an increase in the price of coal to the
consuming public.
TO this form of settlement Doc
tor Garfield has been unalterably op-
posed. 1t has been learned on good
authority that he took no part in the
negotiation with the mine workers
union chief, and that though Informed
and consulted after their initiation the
terms laid out as finally accepted con-
travene his conception of the mair
principle involved.

NEW TREATMENT THAT
KNOCKS RHEUMATISM
7sc BOX FREE TO ANY SUFFERER

Up in Syracuse, N. Y, a treatment
for rheumatism has been found that
hundreds of users say is a wonder,
reporting cases that seem little short
Of miraculous. Just few treatments
even in the very worst cases seem to
accomplish wonders even after other
remedies have failed entirely. It
seems to neutralize the uric acid and
lime salt deposits in the blood, driv-
ing all the poisonous clogging waste
from the system. Soreness, pain,
stiffness, swelling just seem to melt
away and vanish. =
The treatment first introduced by
Mr.. Delano is so good that its owner
wants everybody that suffers from
rheumatism or who has a friend 80
afflicted, to get a free 75c package
from him to prove Just what it win
do in every case before penny is
spent. Mr.. Delano says: 'To prove
that the Delano treatment will posi-
lively overcome rheumatism, no mat
ter how severe, stubborn or long
standing the case, and even after all
other treatments have failed, viii, if
you have never previously used the
treatment, send you full size 76c
package free If you will just cut out
this notice and send it with your
name and address with 10c to help
pay postage and distribution expense
