SHIP MAKES PORT,
FOOD AND COAL GONE

Boston, Feb 23.-Evcry scrap OF
food on board was gone and the coal
bunkers we're virtually empty when
the steamer Canadian Signaller ar
rived Yesterday from -'Fowey, Eng
land, a week overdue. She had fought
her way through storm after storm
on the Atlantic. Officers and crew
were exhausted.
The last three days of the ships
voyage were b. dead reckoning and
only yesterday was her position
made known to her by navy wireless
after her Boston agents had sought
word Of her.
In mid ocean her engines broke
down and for hours the vessel was
tossed about at the mercy of the
seas. The last of the food supply was
consumed yesterday. There was no
breakfast aboard this morning. The
vessel, one Of the Canadian fleet of
merchantmen, brought cargo OF
China clay.

BADEN PROTECTS BERGDOLL

>Coblenz, Fec. 23.-Baden has de-
cleced an open seas :: -AmcrlcanS,
and particularly o. lie 'spaper CORE
spondents, as a result of tine attempt
to kidnap Grover Cleveland Bergdoll.
Heretofore it has only been necessary
to have German wise to enter this
province. Since the Bergdoll attempt,
however, one must have wise from
the Baden Government to leave rail-
road trains anywhere in the district.
No permission is being given for
entry into Eberbach or Heidelberg. If
one wants to 20 there he must first
60 to karlsruhe and state his bust
ness and then undergo third degree
by the Baden authorities.
Baden is determined to prevent the
capture of Bergdoll. In addition to
his own detective force, the State
has assigned large number of
plain clothes men to watch all for
eigners arriving at the station and
also to guard the roads into Mes
| bach.
From the amount of attention this
traitor is receiving, one would be-
| lieve that he was man Of import
ance to Germany instead of a fugi-
tive from the United States lording

SPACIOUS CARNEGIE
HALL OF AMERICAS
TO Be PEACE CITADEL
- Assoclated Pressl

WASHINGTON. Nov. 11-When the
late Andrew Carnegie helped the
American republics build the Pan
American building, little did he expect
that years after its dedication, the
spacious hall of the Americas would
seat Representatives of the nations at
some of the meetings to discuss the
limitation of ornaments.
And vet. in his speech at the dedica-
ton of the Pan American building,
April 90. 1910, he said: "One of the
chief missions of this palace should be
to draw together the diplomats and
representative men of all our Repub-
lies and enable them to know each
other-and learn of their earnest de-
sire for the prosperity of all their
neighbors and their anxious hope that
peace shall ever reign between them. -
Thus these statesmen will become
lifelong friends TO whom may safely be
intrusted the settlement of any inter
national differences that may arise.
This then. is one of the greatest mis-
sions of this international meeting
ground in which we are assembled.
Nor will it's mission be fulfilled until
every republic, and. | fondly hope,
Canada also included, shall have
agreed to lay aside the sword
Significant Word.
High over the heads Of the diplomats
and other representatives of the ma
tions who will meet in the great hall

The Theatres
MU RAY.

One of the brightest photodTamas
of the year, with the screens fost fas-
cinating star. opened TODAY at the Muir
ray theatre. 1t is called Short Skirts
and gives Gladys Walton an opportu-
nifty TO prove that she is a capable
actress as well as an extraordinarily
lovely bit of feminity.
Short Skirts" was filmed from Ca
bella Drives the Nall the Saturday
Evening Post story by Alice l.. Tides
ley. It was purchased by Universal
elaborated for the screen by Doris
Schroeder and directed at Universal
Gity By Harry B. Harris. ......
Miss Walton appears as a seventeen
vear-old girl who desires to be regard
ed as mature woman of wide expeI-
fence. Her mother works in the cam
paign headquarters of man who IS
running for mayor, and she is sche-
duled to marry him the day after cleo
ton. Because she is annoyed at the
man for gently reproaching her about
her conduct, Natalie tries to wreck
his political position and nearly sue
ceeds The climax straightens out the
tangle satisfactorily and gives drama
TO a story that tinges with humor and
character touches throughout.

IT should be acknowledged that the
