who meets with temptation, ignores
opportunity and giving way to pleas
ure, fails miscrably. But love, who
has followed him. beckons him home
again where he finds happiness and
the love he had ignored The pic
ture is quite charming and remind
er of "Everywoman' in treatment.

player and others in the cast who did
excellent work are John Miltern,
Marjorie Daw, Edna Wheaton, E. j.
Dadcliffe. Betty Carpenter, Kate

able fashion show and the scenic in
vestiture is of the richest descrip
ton. 1t is well worth seeing.

TANKS CAPTURED BY GERMAN GIRLS More Than 1000 Soldiers Have Married in Germany
 in Two Years
By Associated Press

Coblenz, January 1.-Winsome Ger man girls continue to make inroads in the American forces in Germany. despite tke standing order issued two years ago that enlisted men who married here. would be returned to America with their wives on the next army transport.
 Every transport with returning and whenever a troop train leaves Coblenz for Antwerp, the port of em- barkation, the flower shops do a splendid business, their customers being chiefly Germans who desire to bestow flowers upon the departing brides. full of anticipation and hope for a wonderful existence in their new homes across the Atlantic.
 More-than 1000 American soldiers have married in Germany during the last two years and ten months, ac- cording to estimates of American of- ficers and German civil officials. Most of the men and their wives ai- ready have been sent to the United States.
 Many soldiers who desired to marry and remain in the service on this side took great pains. officers say, to keep the facts from becom- ing known generally. Officers say some of the soldiers took their pros pective brides into unoccupied Ger many and were married there, most of these~ events having taken place when America and Germany, techni- cally, were still at war

attempt would be made to relegate Japan to secondary position among the powers of the world. They are returning to the orient with Japan more firmly entrenched among the first rank powers than she ever dared hope to be.
 The Japanese came to Washington expecting to have to fight for their naval life. There had been threats that an obstreperous Japan might be ''rationed" as to the amount of steel she should have from England and America. The Japanese return with their constructed navy virtually in- tact. They were told at first they could not retain their treasured ''Mutsu. But they made a successful fight for the "Mutsu" and she will continue for 10 years at least as the queen of the Pacific.
 Sacrifices of U. s.
 Through the voluntary sacrifices of the United States and Great Britain, Japan finds her naval supremacy in the orient guaranteed by the two great white powers apparently for all time. Japan unexpectedly found the United States willing to cut it's navy down below the strength that would give 1t offensive power in the east Japan found the United States willing to discontinue work on It's Qualifications in the Pacific. Thus made free from naval attack, Japan nevertheless held out for unlimited submarine construction for naval purposes and therefore is doubly for tified In her oriental supremacy Japan is permitted to retain three battle cruisers while the United States agrees to construct none. The Japanese came to Washington feeling that in the diplomatic nego- tiations preceding the conference they had been maneuvered Into a defensive position. They felt tho con ference really was aimed at them They could not understand why the far eastern questions had beer dragged" into 1t. They felt that here again they would have to fight for their national life and pride They felt, In short. that they were to bt made the "black beast of the confer. ence.
 Spirit of Consolidation
 Instead they found a great spirit of conciliation toward them. They found the United States, in particular r was desirous of placating the Jap anese and allaying any fears they 7 might have as to the attitude of this country. They found that the United States was not nearly so militantiy

Here is something new for them--a new sensa- tion new pleasure. new and graceful figure easily found by anyone who is passing beyond the limits of slimness. Everyone has heard of the Marmola Pre- scription; that harmless combination of fat-defying elements perfected by one of the foremost physicians. Now. from the same high authority, there comes another idear-the idea of condensing these same pure, harmless ingredients into a pleasant little tablet. Taken after eating and at bedtime, they help the stomach to dis pose of all the fatty foods, converting them into compact solid flesh. muscle and energy. without dieting or exercise. Marmola Prescription Tablets regulate entire system-do for you what bodily exertion and self-denial can not do, and the fat. once routed, is gone for good.

PRISONERS PROUD
 OF TIME SPENT
 IN SOVIET JA|LS
Women Play Conditions of Prisons, But Declare That They Had Valuable
 Experience
By Associated Press

Moscow. January 7.-The majority of political prisoners. men and wom- en, being released from soviet prisons speak with satisfaction of their im- prisonment as "a great experience" While they are not at all anxious to renew the experience, they insist that it did them good.
 As being locked up In Russia has become a sort of habit, there Is no shame attached to the Imprisonment. and those released seem proud of their time spent behind bars.
 The women prisoners feel that they have seen a novel side of life and. while rich in their abuse of the con- ditions of their imprisonment, inyarf- ably wind up their recital by saying theirs was a great and valuable ex- perience.
 Instead of punishing these people, 1t would almost seem the soviet gov ernment had conferred distinct benefit on them by locking them up. The solitude of prison life. with its opportunity for lf-acquaintance, ap- pealed to Miss Alexandra Tolstoi, daughter of the great writer. who was locked up once for eight months at stretch.
 A Georgian princess spoke enthusi- astically to the correspondent of her imprisonment because 1t confirmed her belief in God. She related how, after months of slow travel in a prison train on her way to Archangel she fell i'll with the typhus, after which she was, by some mischance. put in solitary confinement. She broke down under the strain, she stated, and fervently prayed for re- lease, and 1t came within the day.
 Another woman, once wealthy, de- clared that her Imprisonment had taught her the communist regime was no worse If not an improvement on the old imperial one. Thrown among people of her own class in prison, she found them selfish and unwilling to share their food, cigar cites and blankets, as was the case of the plain soldiers of the peasant class also in the same prison.
 The human mask of convention and politeness dropped from the edu- cated people and their fears and self ishness shone plain for all to read" said this woman. This mill of suf- fering and bloodshed and revolution has been needful lesson. It is an impulse towards new life."
