DISARMAMENT GERMAN BOON

John Lathrop, in Leslie's.
 It was in the summer of 1919 that Herr Hirsch sat with me Tn the Grand Halle of Hotel Adlon in Berlin, drink ing the execreable chlckory coffee with which they poisoned us in those days. Just above us the portrait Of Kaiser Bill gazed off into space with it's super-e egotistic expression.
 Germany will win the war which Is just now beginning. he boasted. "The Allies cannot prevent it."
 NO" he added, as I glanced toward the picture of the erstwhlle Emperor which had been overlooked by the revolutionary proletariat when. the previous November. they stripped Berlin of its imperiai trappings. "1t will not be under that or any other military leader. We are through with that. We understand at last. The war was mistake-a ghastly mistake. But we shall win this eco- homie war. The conditions of de- mobilization, disarmament and in demnity to be imposed will give us the advantage"
 Herr Hirsch and 100000 Germans ragged at the Versailles treaty and its command that Germany disarm.
 But Herr Hirsch. that 1919 day, had in common with other German manu- lecturers seen the inevitability of the forthcoming economic advantage their ability to underbid the Allies on goods and contracts In the foreign field, provided the German mark rul- ed low in international exchange. and the German workman went to work.
 At that time. 1919. Germanys labor situation was chaotic.
 The following year I920) the man ufacturers were all smiles. Such as Hugo Shines were being listened to preachers of the glory to be won by economic warfare, with Germany united for the conquest. Apparently. the vast majority of the German 1a- tion got the idea. 4- few Bourbons clung to the military fetich. But the people seemed to have learned that enforced disarmament was going to be to their advantage economically

Krasnotchokoff occasionally found time to enjoy himself. More than once. while we were in Verkhne- Udlnsk we saw him out horseback riding with the daughter of the mer- chant whose house had been appropri- ated for the capitol of the republic.
 As discreetly as possible, we sounded public opinion concerning the new regime. on the whole--peo- pie seemed to be willing to give the government a chance. The war prisoners disliked Krasnotschokoff because of his regulations against profiteering.

 As we rose to go, realized that there was one more mystery to be- solved before wei terminated our interview with Kransnostchokoff president of the Far Eastern repub lic.

 "Oh. he runs the governmental news bureau"

 So Krasnostchokoff was Stark az well as Tbelson! He went over to his desk and gave us the first number of a newspaper that he was publishing in English as means of presenting the aims of the new republic to the world, Besides the declaration of ip- dependence. statements of policy and other official documents, it contained a couple of interviews with Krasnost- chokotf himself on current, problems. They were. written in forceful, vivid English, We asked who the author was. and KrasnostcholSoff replied, rather sheepishly that he had writ ten them himself.

not only is the younger woman, but also plays the mother role. Her work in the double part is said to be one of the most remarkable charac- terizationS on the screen.
 The story of 'Reputation' was pub 1ished serially in Ainslee's Magazine, under the title False Colors''. It is said to be Miss evin's best work. It is quite different in type from Out side the Law. Outside the Law was written, as well as directed, by Tod Browning. He conceived the remarkable underworld characters in the picture a result of his own ex- periencec as a detective.

She was still in High | before graduation. While she was l there. with a lot Of time on her hands she thought it would be a good joke to see if she couldn't appear in just ONE picture, so she could brag about | it when she got back to school. So one morning. bright and early, without telling anybody about it. she l went to one of the comedy lots" saw a director, and told him that she could do any kind of swimming stunt he asked her to do. For Gladys was good swimmer-graceful and easy and spent every summer in the water.
 The director was a good-natured sort of man, and took her at her word. She got into her bathing suit. which she had brought with her. and she swan 50 well and so grace fully. and was such a pretty picture then and there, to do bits in Sunshine comedies. And her saary was to be the mIlnificent one of S25 a week.

 So she went home, threading on air and broke the news. Of course, her parents had to be communicated with, and though reluctantly at first, they agreed finally in indulging what they were pleased to term whin of their young daughters. Indeed, then. she thought it was nothing more. her self.
 Her work in the comedies stuck out Hike sore thumb" only lot prettier. until one dav. just before vacation was over, a director of big films took her to one side and told her that she was wasting her oppor- tunities; that she bad the ability and fhe talent to be a good actress, and that he was willing to give her a chance to make good.
 So vacat ton came and went and. needless to say, Gladys didn't go back 70 school. She appeared with Ed die Lyons and Lee Moran in La, La. IuciIIe," graduating from that to stardon, so brilliant was her work.

Rap tap, rap tap, rap tap tap, it sounded like a trotting horse As he beat time with his gunboats with rare vigor and great force.
