"A Thousand to One"

1t has been said of Hobart Bos-
worth that he is one of the most vital
actors on the screen. His pustires are
invariably based upon rugged char
acterizations. They always permit him
to indulge in red-blooded action in
which he rises to the heights of emo
tional power. "a Thousand to One
is an excellent example of what the
spectators have come to expect in a
Bosworth offering. 1t is two-fisted
and vivid and holds the onlooker deep-
ly interested. The picture is adapted
from Max Brands popular story,
"Fate's Honeymoon" and tells of the
redemption of a man of brutal in
stincts into figure Of honesty and
kindness. 1t pulsates with life. "A
Thousand to One" will be at the John
son Opera house today and Saturday
next--Adv.

Won War; Pershing
Not So Sure

Washington, Sept. General
Pershing and Samuel Gompers had
a tilt last night at a dinner here
concluding exercises celebrating
Lafayette-Marne day. At least,
official Washington regards II as
clash over the question Of whether
labor won the war.
Mr.. Gompers had spoken on the
after dinner program and while
he made no claim that labor won
the war he told Of the record of the
American Federation of Labor dur
ing the war and declared that pre-
vious to the entry of the United
States its sympathy was with the
cause of the allies.
General Pershing, however, ap-
parently regarded Mr.. Gompers
remarks as claim that labor won
the war. Some of those who heard
his remarks quote him as having
said substantially:
THE policies of this republic
are not determined by labor un-
ions or by any other organizations,
but by the consensus of opinion
