stead" featuring Theodore Roberts
as "Uncle JOSH"
This great American classic of the
stage has been prepared for the

For instance, the storm scene in
the picture is one of the most mar
velous pieces Of work ever produced.
An entire village is completely de-
molished, leaving only The Old
Homestead standing.
There are many delightful mo-
ments Of comedy, and some heart
punches that will get to you, and
bring tears Of sympathy to your
eyes.

MAKES NO EXPLANATION

The War Secretary made no eXplana
ton Of steps that would be taken to
turn the Coblenz sector over to the
allied commanders for policing and to
hold the bridgehead as q means FOR
further advances into Germany to en-
force treaty obligations. The three
bridgchead positions were taken up un
der the armistice for this purpose, and
their occupation confirmed in the
treaty OF Versailles and the treaty be
tween the United States and Germany.
1t was admitted at tho War Depart
ment that the action OF the United
States in completely abandoning tho
Rhineland position might have some
effect on the negotiations resulting
from Secretary Hughes action In sub
hitting request that the United
States receive share in German repair
ations payments already made to cover
maintenance Of tho armies on the
Rhine.
1t WIS insisted. however, that the
step was not n direct result Of those
negotiations, since complete withdraw
al was forecast before the note calling
attention to the American bill in en-
cess of $241 100000 on this account
was transmitted.
