The secretary said it was estimated
that the difference in cost to the gov
eminent between accepting three-year
and one-year enlistments, even where
there were three successive enlistmnts
Of One-year each, was approximately
$50 per man. 1t was not improbable
that 20 per cent of the men in the army
would prefer the shorter term, he add
I'd, and in that event the increase in
cost to the government would be ap-
proximately $2,750,000.
Another difficulty with the one-year
enlistments arose from the necessity of
providing men for overseas garrisons,
Secretary Weeks said, and he recon-
mended that the law be changed to per-
NIT enlistments to be accepted for from
one to three years ''as may be prescrib-
ed by the Secretary of War" with re-
enlistments fixed at three-year terms.

Columbia-''N -''Napoleon and

Napoleon and Josephine"-a screen
visioning of the career, military ar.
romantic. of the great soldier OF
France-was shown in WASHINGTON
for the first time yesterday at Loew's
Columbia Theater. Produced in
Europe, with Waterloo and other his
toric spots for actual background, and
with the British army council and
French government permitting ac-

make himself master of Europe"

One of the best of the famous
Boston Blackie" stories of crook

week under the title, Through the

or this crook story, and gives to
ner role definite Characterization
Forrest Stanley is excellent in the
role of Boston Blackie," and Mar
garet Seldom a refreshingly natural
mother" Other members of the ca ST
are adequate. The Photography is
artistically done. Although the ac-
ton slows down a bit in the middle
of the story. it is kept at an inter-
eSting pace during most of the scenes
of this romance of the daughter of
crook who is brought up at a
fashionable boarding school only to
fall in love with another crook and
help him battle to "go straight"
The story is told in clean-cut, melo-
dramatic style.
Will Rogers is delightful in the
burlesque of the famous Covered
Wagon" called Two Wagons-Both
Covered" He is equally clever in
the impersonations of Ernest Tor
rence's role and that of j. Warren
Kerrigan. Marie Mosquini is also
fine in the role paralleling that por-
trayed by Lois Wilson in the serious
production.

whirlwind dancers. the former with
fine tenor voice, help in the success
OF the act. The dancing team is said
to be one of the real discoveries of
the season. The Offering has other
pleasing features, including a pretty
violin selection.
Harry Mayo, the added attraction,
who calls himself a knight of the
Road" has an amusing monologue
and wins applause for a song sung
with a fine bass voice. Racine and
Ray, 1.-TWO Regular Girls Trying to
Get Along" offer popular songs, we'll

for laughter. Bill Telaak and Irene

Metropolitan-"J Jealous

Jealous Husbands" shown at Gran

as the photoplay feature for the
week, was evidently made before the
movement for better pictures was in
augurated. 1t has all the elements of
cheap melodrama, with enough thrills,
high spots and climaXes to provide
material for three pictures. There is
reason, therefore, to be thankful that
this was not done. The story con-
Germs a jealous husband who in a
frenzy gives his child to a gypsy crook

and who afterward finds remorse and
more when his wife's innocence is
established.
The cast includes Jane Novak, Earle
Williams and Ben Alexander, who is
being hailed as the latest screen
prodigy.
There are other attractions, how
ever, on the Metropolitan bill which
almost make up for the lack in the
feature. Warnings Pennsylvanians
swung into their second week. and
delighted enthusiastic audiences with
their rendition of several popular
numbers. A solo. Sleep" by one of
the twelve" with sympathetic ac-
compartment by his fellows, was re-
ceived with much applause. Fred

News films of world events and

PERSUADED GERMANS
TO LAY DOWN ARMS
Destinies of Nation Still Interwov-
en- With Name of Wilson,
Says Streseman.
BY the Associated Press.


STETTIN. Germany, February 4
Discussing former President Wilson
in the course of a speech before the
members Of the peoples party, DR..
Stresemann, the foreign secretary,
said:
I'VE are again reminded that the
majority of the German people were
persuaded to lay down their arms be-
cause of their faith in Mr.. Wilson's
promise that there would be no victor
and no yanquiShed, and that peace
would be concluded on that basis.
THE name of Woodrow Wilson is
closely interviewer with our foreign
relations and destinies. We can only
promulgate foreign policies as de
fenseless and unarmed people and
must devote our efforts to resisting
the charge that we are morally re-
spOnsible for the war"
Mr.. Wilson was wholly influenced
by his English orientation," in the
opinion of DR.. Georg Gothein, demo-
cratic leader in the reichstag, who
expressed the belief that this circum-
stance was responsible for the "sus-
picion with which he was viewed by
the imperial German government"
"Nevertheless," said Herr Gothein,
'the old regime made strenuous eff
forts to prevent President wilson
from getting the United States into
the war and should have sought his
mediation"
According to this parliamentary
leader, President Wilson's cardinal
mistake was his decision to go TO
Paris. He expresses the belief that
this was wholly prompted by vanity.
There" said Gothtein, "he fell in
among crafty and tenacious politi-
clans and diplomatists. whereas had
he directed the parleys from Wash
ington he would live in history as Il
great statesman and a formidabl"
master of DoliticS"

Thomas Meighan is one of the

There are shipwrecks, blind tigers.
nice home folks. spiteful gossips,
puritanical officials, trustful chill

thrown into a story of those who
dwell on the New England coast, but
none of these give Meighan a fair
show. Screen stars like Meighan
and Miss Wilson generally have to
turn out so many pictures in a given
time under contract perhaps "Pied
Piper Malone" just had to be made.
