from the stage and screen. At present
Miss Bara is touring in "The Blue
Flame" in which she appeared in New
York last spring. Her bookings at
present extend to early in January, and
it is possible that she may finish the
season in her current vehicle. She
may later make a screen version of
THE Blue Flame"
The simple outlines of Miss Baras
career have been so luridly filled in
by the Jealous publicity agents Of the
motion picture companies that the pub
lie had for long time come to regard
her as something of freak. In JUS
tice to Miss Bara it must be said that
she was as much amazed as the public
at some Of the stories that were print
ed about her
Miss Bara came under the manage
ment of A. H. Woods last winter and
made her first stage appearance since
her screen success in "Thc Blue Flame" 8"
She appeared first in Boston, then in
Pittsburgh and Washington. An en-
gagemcnt of six weeks at the Shubert
Theater, New York, followed. Then
Miss Bara went on tour. Her recep-
ton by the critics has been a mixed
one, but the public has hocked to see
her. 1t seems likely that she could
continue in "Thc Blue Flame" for sew
eral seasons if she cared to do So

IN THE SETBACK SWIM.

The Setback Solons were all on
hand at Major Fulp's Friday even
ing, in response to his invitations
and they were ready for the game
and games.
After enjoying the dinnes served,
the line of battle was formed in ac-
cordance with the plan previously
arranged by the Major, and the con-
tending forces got down to regular
warfare. Most of the forces on the
two sides fought well. One unfor-
tunate appeared in the line of battle
dressed in green, while all others
wore regular uniforms, which caused
him to be made a target by the
forces opposite him, with the result
that all the back side of his uniform
was shot off, he having his back to
to the enemy most of the time after
Cne HrSt lew shots.
Capt. Jack Perrin found out why
it was that he could take Dale Barks-
dale and beat Uncle Jim and Pat
Roche, while Col. Bob Link showed
Col. Bradley Reese, of Chestnut
Street and "the rich young ruler"
at the end of North Main some of the
habits of sharp-shooter. Cheves
Haskell took Will Barnwell and won
a game, which shows that Cheves has
had some poor partners at the party.
Altogether it was one of the most
pleasant of the many evenings spent
by the members of the noble profess
sion, and coming as it did at the end
of the flu it was doubly enjoyed.

DIR. ROBERTSON TO PREACH

Due West, Feb. 22.-Special: DR..
Robertson, of Glasgow
Scotland, is expected here tomorrow
to begin series of preaching SER
vices to last a week. DR.. Robertson
was formerly professor of Hebrew in
Glasgow University, and last occu-
pied Spurgeon's Church in London.
Dwight L. Moody brought him to
this country at the time of the
Chicago exposition to preach for
him.
Recently his congregation at Glas-
gov purchased the city hall for him
to preach in. During the recent war
he was a chaplain in the famous
Scotch Highland regiment. During
one engagement his regiment lost all
of it's line officers and he took charge
and led the troops to victory. For this
service he was made major general
the only chaplain to have this honor
DR.. Robertson is a preacher of inter-
national fame and it is an honor to
have him here. He was holding
meeting in Washington, D. c., some
one informed him that Due West
was a place that still kept the old
Scottish Presbyterian custom OF
singing the Psalms and he expressed
a desire to come here. BY this means
he was secured to hold meeting to
the students of Erskine College. - !

Mccormick Meeting Postponed.

The Rev. L. H. Gardner, pastor of
the Baptist church at Mccormick and
chairman of the committee on Fifth
Sunday meetings for the Abbeville
Baptist association, has announced
that owing to the prevalence of influ-
enza throughout the bounds of the
association, the union meeting which
was scheduled to have been held in
Mccormick next Saturday and Sun
day will not be held. The program
which has been arranged will be car
ried over to the fifth Sunday in
May, at which time a meeting will be
called to assemble at Mccormick and
the order agreed upon will then be
carried out.
Mr.. Gardner expresses the deepest
regret at the necessity for cancelling
the union meeting, but says that he
conferred with members in various
parts of the association, all of whom
felt it would be unwise to attempt a
general meeting at this time.

GOMPERS OPPOSED
TO LABOR PARTY
Labor Leader Declares Separate
Party Would be Detrimental To
Best Interests of Labor. Writes
Strong Letter Condemning
Movement

Washington, Feb. 22.-Formation
Of a political labor party would be
detrimental to the interests of labor
and exactly in line with that which is
most ardently desired by those who
seek to Cypress labor" Samuel Com
pers declared in letter to William
Mitch of Terre Haute, leader of the
Indiana state labor party, made pub
lie here today.

telegram from Mitch and his asso-
ciates supporting the action of the
Indiana state labor party in opposing
the political declaration of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor calling on
organized workers to elect their
friends and defeat their enemies.
Mitch's telegram declared in favor Of
making the fight solely through
labor party.
"By what right" Mr.. Gompers let
ter said. "do you assume to declare
the work and the policy of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor to be i'm
practical?"

AMERICAN SPECIAL
DRIVEN BY MARTIN

Washington Feb. 2O.-senator
Dial and Representative Nichols
have been called on at their Offices
lately by a constituent, James E.
Martin, who had some rather unusual
experiences overseas, after having
been severely gassed near Luneville
while serving with the One Hundred
and Seventeenth Engineers of the
Rainbow division.
Mr.. Martin on leaving the hospital
was physically disqualified for fur
ther duty with his regiment, but hav-
ing been a locomotive engineer on the
Southern railway at home, was as
signed as engineman to the "Ameri-
can Special" when that famous train
between Chaumont and Tours was
established. It was while on this as
signment, in the latter part of Sep
tember or early in October, 1918,
that he performed the stunt which
brought him considerable attention
at the time.
An unusually large party of impor-
tant officers and civilian dignitaries,
filling 13 coaches, was making the
rounds of the service of supply,
drawn by Jim Martins big American
locomotive, No. 5897, a Schenectady
built passenger speedster of the type
known in the service as "Mikes." +"
Martin picked up the train at St.
Pierre des Corps and all went we'll
until just before he reached Vierzon,
when his throttle somehow became
disconnected. There was neither time
nor opportunity for making
repair and Martin somehow handled
the big engine with it's long train
from Vierzon to Nevers, about $50
kilometers, with throttle wide open,
controlling the train entirely by mani
pulating his airbrakes and his reverse
lever. 1t was necessary on reaching
the end of the run to "kill" the loco
motive by exhausting the steam, be-
fore If cou1d be 11ncoun1od onJ ,,,
into siding. Martin meanwhile kept
his own counsel and it was not until
they reached Nevers that his dis
passengers knew under
what circumstances they had been
whirled across France. Fireman Mon
roe of Greenville was Martins "bud-
dy" on this trip.

Church News.

There was steady down-pour Of
rain Sunday morning which gave
plenty of people an opportunity to
"play OUT. of going to church. There
were no services in the A. R. P.
church and the usual congregation at
the Baptist church dwindled at about
twenty-five. Rev. E. B. Kennedy
could not make the trip from Due
West and there were no services in
the Presbyterian church.

CLAIM
OF SUPREMACY is
PROBABLY CORRECT

London, Feb. 90 Bolshevik
forces have captured Archangel, on
the White sea, according to wire
less dispatch from Moscow today.
The "whites" abandoned the town
and the troops joined the Bolsheviki,
the message declares.
The last advices to the British war
Office on the north Russian situation
were that on February Is the red
forces were 70 miles south of. Arch
angel.
Bolshevik possession of the city
would mean material weakening of
the Divina line.
Archangel was for a long period
during the war the main port of entry
for Russian war supplies from .he
allies.
Abandonment of the Archangel ex-
pedition by the allied and associated
powers was determined upon last
year and the British American and
other allied forces there were with
drawn during the summer and fall.
The military situation throughout
Russia has been very favorable for
the Bolsheviki for several weeks. The
fall of Archangel was not unexpect-
ed. Recent communications reported
the red forces advancing along the
Omega and Wwina rivers, while anti
Bolshevik troops were mutinying,
numbering their officers and joining
the soviet troops. The anti-B Bolshevik
garrison at Nakolsk about 100 miles
north of Archangel, was reported in
- lmunion received yesterday, to
hay, revolted and Joined the soviet
troops.
The fall of Archangel, seat of the

tically verify the soviet's claim that

FURTHER EXCHANGE
NOT NECESSARY IN
OFFICIALS OPINION

WdSHlHSLOu, reD. ZU.-I leSiueilt
Wilson's latest nol- On the Adriatic
settlement regarded at the White
House, as his final word on the SUBJ
ject, it was stated t.day. One official
said he thought no fu rther correspon-
dence would be necessary.
1t was said today, however, that by
this it was not meant the door to
further exchanges had been shut. On
the contrary a reply to the presi-
dents latest communication is an
ticipated and a final agreement be-
tween the great powers on the veX-
ing question is expected.
The president throughout the ex-
changes now in progress is under
stood to have made it perfectly. clear
that the United States cannot accept
the settlement reached by the allied
premiers and eoncured in by Italy
and which was made the subject mat
ter of the ultimatum to Jugo-Slavia
last month. He also is said to have
made it equally clear that enforce
ment of the Adriatic terms of the
secret treaty in London, negotiated
before this country entered the war
would be wholly unacceptable to the
United States.
Before the presidents note is put
on the cables copy will be SUBJ
mitted by him to the state depart
ment for final approval.
Officials who are anxious for pub
lication of the entire correspondence
hope to arrange for giving out the
president is not adverse to such ac-
tion but will defer his consent until
he is advised on the subject by Act
ing Secretary Polk.
Summaries of the allies reply to
Mr.. Wilson's first note published in
this cou.ltry were declared not au-
thentic by the White House and state
department.
Formulation by the United States
Great Britain and France of a new
proposal to Italy and Jugo-Slavia for
settlement of the Adriatic contro-
versy is likely to result from Presi-
dent Wilson's re-entrance into the
negotiations, it was believed here to-
day.
Faced with Mr.. Wilson's reported
intimation that he might consider
the withdrawal Of the treaty of Ver-
sailles and the treaty of alliance be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States for the defense of France, it
is believed that Britain and France
will exert themselves to cause Italy
to make concessions to the Jugo-
Slavs the line with the presidents
stand. Premier Nitti, if Italy, has
declared that the January plan of
the allies was the least that his
country would accept.
