his submission. A mere verbal ad- mission that the prelate had no in- tention of exciting or alarming the population by the pastoral letter would have satisfied the Governor General, it was said, but no such ad- mission ever was secured from Car dinal Mercier.
 Another pastoral letter, sent out at the beginning of Lent in 1916, again brought persecution from von Blss- ing.
 "The conviction of our final vic- tory is more deeply anchored in my soul than ever," the letter said in part "We will win, do not ever doubt it, but We have not reached the end of our sufferings. Prepare your plans, place your batteries, CO., ordinate your movements Remem- Der, man proposes but God dispeses." Won Bissing flew into a towering rage when he read the letter, which l he avowed was "an invocation of the ! Cardinal to God for the extermina- 1 tion of the German armies.''
 Purple with indignation and on the verge of an apopletic attack, he threw his helmet on the floor, tram pied and kicked it into an unrec- ognizable mass, then sent every or derly in his headquarters for Baron von der Lancken and Count Mar rach, his advisors. Cardinal Mercier must retract, he told them. They must secure an apology to Germany, and al the resources of the German Empire were at their disposal to get it.
 Still, no apology ever came from Malines.
 A little village not far from Wa terloo- Briane d'Alleud-was h e birthplace of Cardinal Mercier in 1851. The family was a distinguish ed religious one, several other mem bers having received high honors from the Catholic church.
 Believing that he was destined for a career other than secular, the future Cardinal prepared for the medical

Will jams who has been in Seward for few days. The ankle has been in a cast until last week when Mr. Will jams took it off and is now perform ing in the role of physician.

80 Springfield women under the direc-
ton of Miss Julia A. Rockford.
There are seven distinct operations
in the process. and in the case of fiags
tattered by bullet and shell holes the
work occupies several months.
The first is to straighten the edges
of the tatters so that they will fray no

standards is replaced by any new ma
terial a net Of transparent black
silk. imported from England, is pre-
pared for each flag. and after it's res
toration, the net is put over the flag
and stitched to 1T so that the net sup
ports the weight of the time.worn ma
terial, which might otherwise pull
apart.
More than 100 of the wartime en-
blems of Illinois have been thus pre-

CUBAN PRESIDENT MAKES
 PLEA FOR COOPERATION
His Armistice Day Speech Comes As Distinct Shock to
 Politicians.

Havana, Nov. 12 dP President Machado in his Arnistice Day ad- dress to liberal gathering in Ha- vana exploded political bombshell among the members of his party. The president pleaded for co-opera- ton by his party and congress in carrying forward the governments plans for betterment of the adminis- tration and the attainment of the ideals of those who gave their lives that Cuba might be free.'
 But if the administration does not obtain that cooperation" said the president, then, having the con- stitution as my guide, I, alone, will prevent the efforts we have made for nearly two years, of being lost, as seed dropped on rocky soil"
 Continuing the president said that his law was the law of patriotism and dignity and on that law depend cd the future of Cuba.
 "I know that many who hear me-" the president went on, Twill think this statement unconstitutional and I know that some will reach the conclusion that I am masked par tisan of dictatorship. But if dic- tatorship is necessary t keep alive the memory of those heroes who fell on the battlefield I, with those among you who are willing to fol- low me. will be enough to attain that end"

DOUBLE FEATURE AT PALACE

The program at the New Palace for the last half of this week con- sists of three distinct features. The first Is the Paramount production, "Fascinating Youth" in which the junior stars of the Paramount stu dios are given important roles. The second is Buck Jones in "The Fly ing Horsema-" ar . the third is the first of the new sporting series. Fighting Hearts" with the cast of the famous "Telephone Girl" series.
 "Fascinating Youth" is a delight ful comedy of youth. The idea of employing the junior stars is entire ly novel. The stars are graduates of the new Paramount school for acting. It can easily be seen that many of these youths will soon be starred in bigger productions. Head- ing the cast of more experienced players is Ralph Lewis.
 "The Flying Horseman" is typical of all Jones' westerns with the usual brand of Jones' humor that makes this stars pictures so well liked throughout the country. Buck uses his wonder horse, Silver Buck. and eight youngsters to good advantage.
 The third feature of the program is the first episode of the new sport ing series, "Fighting Hearts" Each episode is a separate story which was written by the famous comedy writer, Sam Hellman. The famous cast of the "Telephone Girl" series Kit Guard, Grant Withers and AL

GALA OPENING OF
 STRAND .7HEATER
Million Dollar Playhouse Opens
 Doors to Public

New Britain's million dollar thea ter, the Strand, on Main street. was formally dedicated and opened to the public last night with every seat in the vast palace of entertain ment occupied. The 2,500 present included hundreds of men and women prominent in the business and professional life of this city as we'll as members of the city gov ernment, who were guests of the management. Also in attendance were many New Workers who are active in the world of vaudeville and motion pictures. Their pres ence was a tribute to I. J. Hoffman and Bernard Hoffman,. who, with Contaras Bros. and Peter Perakos. are owners of the magnificent new playhouse.
 Although it was announced that the show would not start until o'clock, the lobby of the theater and the sidewalk were jammed half an hour before that time. New Britain showed it's interest in the project in a manner which required no special interpretation. It seemed as If all New Britain was intent on gaining admittance to the Strand in spite of the fact that the thea ter one Of the largest in New Eng land could not accommodate thou sands who wanted to go.
 I,,ti1 fhn last moment putting finishing touches on the building. The man. agement strained every effort to have the playhouse ready for the public and an idea of the obstacles which confronted them can be gained from the fact that the num- bers were affixed to the seats only yesterday afternoon although they were ordered weeks ago. At the last moment if was discovered that i through an error of the printer, tickets had beeen issued for seats were executed to accommodate holders of these tickets in other parts of the house.
 An Interesting feature in connec- !. tion with the opening was the pres ence of w. C. Fields, the stage and screen comedian. whose picture Sos Your Old Man" was shown as the last number on the bill of fca- ture attractions. Mr. Fields gave a brief talk from the stage and said he had come from New York with ! about 150 other men interested in ! theatrical enterprises. to greet the Hoffman brothers and to extend to | them their sincere wishes for sue
