''MARY REGAIN" PROVES
 ONE OF BEST PICTURES
 PRODUCED AT EMPRESS

Mary Regan," in which Anita Stew art appeared last night at the Elm press, is drama of big business and b4g pleasure; a modern detective story, with Mary Began, daughter of d one-time crook and a society heir oas, pIayIng the role of a veritable fe- maIe hattles.
 mere are seven reels of swift, amazing action, ending in raid upon d notor4ous New York Lobster Pal ~Ce, and a climax that is unforeseen, unusual and thoroughly satisfactory 1t Is another of the big special pie tuIes with which Empress patrons lave been treated during the past weeKs, and is repeated for the last time tonight.
 A novel feature of the program, worthy of especial mention, is the reel of Vodivill, which is distinctly new departure in the field of motion pic lures. No trick photography here but headliners from the leading vau- deville circuits are filmed, and the marvellous stunts lose nothing in effec- tiveness through being transferred from stage to screen.
 Tomorrow night comes populaf Tom Moore with that infectious Irish smile and the blarney of him, in a story nicely blending romance, com. edy and humor-the story of mount ed policeman and a snobbish young neiress. There will also be seen, for benefit of all the kids in town, big and little, The Star Boarder," a Mack Sennett comedy in which Ted dy, the Great Dane, has one of the greatest emotional roles of his career.

Carnegie Peace Emulation. The first peace conference assembled at the Hague in 1899, and prospects looked bright for abolition of wars. The most prominent thing in the call for that conference was the suggestion for dis armament. Nothing came of it. At the second peace conference at the Hague, in 1907, there was not much said about limitation of armaments. The next Hague conference, set for 1915, found the world engaged in the recently-ended death grapple. with practically the whole of Europe and Asia envolved, and the western hemi- sphere soon to enter the fray.
 Men in the senate who are now agi- tating the cause of disarmament are not theoretical pacificts. They are looking at the cold, hard facts as they exist in the world today. None of them, including even Senator Borah, believe that the whole world could disarm completely and in a hurry. But they do believe that something can be done and must to stop the terrible waste of money now expended on great armamonts when his money is so ur- gently needed for reconstruction after the world war. They believe that for the United States the first duty is to be prepared to protect the republic and the flag, but at the same time they wuld be glad to see the United States take the lead in any dis armament plan.
 It is safe to say, however, that the problem is so great and momentous that this session will do little or nothing toward disarmament, despite consideration of the Borah and Walsh resolutions.

That was her last effort to har-

But the fact is that at the motion
