.PERSHING DECLINES
 TO ACCEPT D. s. C.
By Associated Pres.

Washington, January 23.-General Pepshing declined today to accept a distinguished service cross voted him by the army board of awards and which Secretary Weeks had planned to bestow on him at "a surprise party" arranged to take place in the office of the Secretary of War.
 The general discovered the secret of the party and went immediately to Mir. Weeks house, where the lat ter was at lunch, to declare his un- deservedness of the honor. Secretary Weeks then decided that the gen. erals wishes should be respected, and cancelled his plans for the party.
 General Pershing declined the award of the medal of honor for the same exploit concerned in today s presentation. This was an incident occurring when he was a brigadier general in the Philippines in 1913.
 General Pershing explained later that he declined to accept the award of the distinguished service cross be- cause he did not consider his action measured up to the high standards set in the American expeditionary forces; and that he had disapproved hundreds of recommendation for the distinguished service cross based on acts more deserving than was his act upon which the award had been made"

BEACH's 1.-THE NORTH WINDS MENACEv AT FIVE POINTS

Rex Beach's "The North Winds Menace" at the Five Points theatre for today only, gives us the north in a new aspect. It Is a tale of the grim spectre that turks behind the north wind-the spectre of grinding monot- ony that plants murder in the hearts of men.
 Rex Beach was right next to the camera when the picture was shot. The directors caught his enthusiasm. Something of his big, breezy person. ality found it's way into the acting. The snow scenes, the dog sledge swinging along the frenzied hunt for gold, the scenes of kindly humor-all bear the imprint of Rex Beach's pres ence.

WALLY REID AT STRAND IN
 COMEDY-DRAMA TRENT FREE'


 Wallace Reid has a comedy drama as jolly and wholesome as his own personality in Rent Free" at the Strand this week. Yet while the pie ture is along the, line of fun and jollity, it Is by no means lacking in drama. There are running through all of the comedy some really intense cir cumstances that surround the girl cast out from home by her stepmother that keep up the tensity and excite ment and furnish the drama. Also there Is grand and surprising climax in which added astonishing nenoue- ment which turns the tide for all con cerned.
 Aside from being either jolly or dramatic Rent Free" has much nov city of story. The first scenes which are used to bring the characters into the lives of one another in every story, are also used for that purpose here, but with a brilliant little twist that raises it above the commonplace.
 Rent Free" has 8 story that is bet ter seen than told, or rather for the enjoyment of the picture should not be told. for there are many surprises. With most stories there Is wrong to be righted and right that is wronged, all of which is here dealt with very interestingly. Lila Lee appears as the feminine lead and her personality of winsome charm works well with the manly personality of Wallace Reid.

hold My Wife" plays the leading character.
 She brings out the general idea of the character, the proneness to self effacement, the slavery to others and the craving to really live.
 One of the features of the photo play 'No Woman Knows" is the splendid acting. Every member of the cast does fine character work, as the book story is full of quaint peo- pie, who are brought to the screen. In every scene the expressions and general portrayals are exceptionally fine aside from the significance of the story, and this Is decidedly the strong part of the production.
 The story begins when Fanny lives in a small home over her fathers store in a little town. The action goes into detail hero, and there are many small happenings in the early days of the story. The brother of the girl develops talent for violin play ing, and the decision to send him. away to study starts the girl on life of self denial that threatens to last forever. In the end, however, she asserts herself over circumstances.
