He Is reticent without ever ap-
pearing unsociable. He speaks little
even when spoken to. To him his
assignment by Samuel Goldwyn Is
more than an opportunity. It is hard
work IN the extreme. He Is playing .
role which would give pause to ex-
perienced actors and terrify ono

In the midst Of the strongest dra.

his own tension and to keep him
from overplaying that he INDUCES in

tudes Of making himself ridiculous.
For all his forbidding appearance,
with oyerhanging black hair and
smoke-gray eyes, no one has heard
him speak a harsh or thoughtless
word. He claims never to have will

Lady Blackwell and slammed for
her direction. The others-Clifton

Gee, Derek Williams, Helen Tren-

socked for their performances.
They are all pleasant people and
they wear their beautiful costumes

more inclined to blame Mr.. Wilde

Annapolis Bank Teller Fails

W. Emerson Wiley, 25-year -old
Annapolis (Md0 bank teller who
was held up and robbed of $2,5O0

mysterious suspect whom he viewed
at a house in Washington today.
The suspect had not been arrested,
but had been located by detectives

to the house by detective sergeant.

smooth working, smiling young man
who threatened to blow the bank
up If he didn't get his requested
$2,5o0.
He got 1t, from the teller, then
eluded pursuers by scaling several
fences.
His flight on foot left officers with
no clue as to whether he had an
accomplice or car waiting nearby.

BEYOND HATE
IN WARFARE
(Christian Science MOnitor) J

kOnflSllan Science NOnltOrJ
1t is too easy to assume that the World
War is repeating itself. The differences
between today and 25 years ago are strik-
ing. So far only feur nations are involv-
ed as against nine in the first week of
August, 1914. There is no certainty that
others will not come in. Indeed, it will
be more difficult for most nations to stay
out if the war goes on many months But
already Italy which many had counted in
the lists, has stood aside. Russia appears
determined to stay out, as does the United
States
A second striking difference is the trib-
ute paid to public opinion in the efforts
of all belligerents to justify and explain
their entry into war. Some of these eff
forts have been designed cynically to mis-
lead Some have been so mendacious and
illogical as to influence only those who
have no other sources of information But
the efforts themselves are testimony to
the power of modified morality.
Today the public's information is i'm
mensely greater. For months and years
struggle has been visibly working up to
climax. Newspapers and radio have Civ
EN- people all over the world front-row
seat. Is that why so far this has been
war without enthusiasm, above hate?
There has been too a great sense of
regret, as Premier Dalader said, "a kind
of tenderness" There are other ideas
conviction that war is not good enough as
way to settle national disputes and
revived vision of internationalism If
there were few people before 1914 who
had an idea of league of nations to en-
force peace, there are millions today who
look forward to some form Of federation
These ideas will have to be included in
the war aims of the nations-eventualy
their peace aims.

through the southern province OF
Posen, into LODI, and then through
north Silesia.
My automobile tour, which ended
late yesterday, took me over broken
bridges and bombed roads and
through burned towns and villages.
We passed several long lines of
homeless civilians fleeing the raw
ages of war and wondering what
would befall them next.
The columns OF fugitives walked
along dusty roads. sometimes driv-
ing cattle and pushing carts loaded
with mattresses and other house
hold goods. Most of them had to
sleep in woods at night, but some
pushed on.
l saw no fighting or bombing.
But I did hear the roar of cannon
in the distance. Nevertheless, the
fugitives were the most impressive
sign that war had swept across this
territory.
One family, with the mother
pushing a year-old child in baby
carriage, told me how they lost
their entire fortune-three COWS
when they tried to cross the Vistula
river while a battle ragged on its
banks.
The first signs Of war l saw after
crossing the German border from
Breslau, were the raZed buildings
of Wierzukov. The inhabitants said
that after Polish troops had with
drawn last week, German troops
cleaned out snipers with artillery
fire.
After a short while, we passed a
second burned village. 1t was called
ZloczeW. We moved on TO the vii
lage of Zdunskawola, which appear
ed TO have been set afire by artil-
lery. We could smell the odor of
burning fish.
I met long lines of civilian ref
ugees behind Zloczew and zduns-
kawola, returning to the ruins of
their homes after the German ad-
vance had passed over them.
AS we approached Lodz, after
leaving the garrison town of Sier-
edz, we were surprised to see that
all automobiles returning from the
front seemed to disregard war safe
ty measures by using bright head
lights. Even in Berlin, all cars must
use only dim lights and the city
virtually is dark at night.
Sometimes, we heard airplanes
droning overhead.

2. You failed to vote at the elections

3. You have changed your place of

You are entitled TO register if you have
been citizen of the United States for 80
days; resident of the state for one year:
resident of the county for 80 days; and
resident of your precinct for 40 days.
You may register at the county clerks
office or at any city hall in the valley.
If there is the least bit of doubt in YOUR

check up on your status now. 1t will be

Since the elections of last year, regis
tration in California has declined approx
imately 20 per cent. If that decline car
ries over into the November election, the
results may be disastrous for the finan-
cial future of California.
Principal measure on the Nov. Z ballot,
of course, will be the S30-Thursday pen
sion proposal. Other measures, such as an
oil control act and a loan shark act, also
will be voted upon. Exclusive of these last
two measures, however, the election will
have direct effect upon the future of
every person residing in California. The
pension plan, visionary and impractical as
it is, could raise havoc with the states
finances if it were enacted. It could create
in California such shortage of invest
ment funds that the development of the
state would be set back for several years.
The state treasury itself would be the
first to suffer. The taxpayers, as result.
would soon face an unbearable burden.
Proponents of the pension scheme will
vote solidly, and make sure that every
favorable vote is registered
1t is up to everybody else to register,
too, in order to assure real test of pub
lie opinion Nov. Z.
