lIMMHOiDHMMBiQ WASHINGTON . How the love of a wife prevails against the dangers and uneven chances of a hundred-mile dash across desert and sage brush is shown in the thrilling Dustin Farnum picture, "The Light of Western Stars." Zane Grey has written of the West as no other writer can. His works are descriptive of a country he knows first hand, and his romances are said to be based largely on events that actually occurred within his knowledge. Never has this popular author written more thrillingly than In his description of the wild race into which a young wife plunged to save her

husband. What was thrilling in description is triply so when enacted on the screen. The spectator is gripped between hope and fear as the huge car plunges on and the sun begins to sink and with it the hopes of the heroic wife. Alternately are thrown on the screen the scene of the husband's approaching execution and successive stages of the leaping approach of the automobile that can save him. Suspense lasts up to the final foot of this thrilling Dustin Farnum film, which will be the feature at the Washington theatre for two days, starting today. MURRAY "I'm So Happy" a rollicking musical farce comedy in which Frederick V. Bowers is starring in this season will be at the Murray Feb. 12, matinee and night. Mr. Bowers' new vehicle has much to whet your interest as it is a farce comedy with music. The action Is said to bo the fastest vehicle on the stage today, with pretty touches of sentiment and a lively strain of humor. Many laughs are tucked away in the brisk dialogue and the audience have no difficulty in finding i

them. Victor Gabery Is responsible for the book and has used as his theme, "A Harmless Fib." It is astounding how this little white fib grows to be a whopping big lie with the idea in mind, if you tell one, you will have to tell more and the moral ever evident, don't tell the first one and the many tight places it gets Arthur Fairfax (Mr. Bowers), only to have him tell another one to get out of the proceed

ing one and before the curtain is up five minutes, he has told so many he don't even remember the truth, but in all sincerity he lies with grace and ease. The musical end of the comedy is a big feature of the entertainment as the company consists of some of the cleverest musical comedy stars on the stage today prominently of these might be mentioned Alma Youlin, Marie Fanchonetti, Irma Bertrand, Mary Kilcoyne, Edward Sedan, William Devens, Harry Oakley and Jackson and Larson. At the Murray Saturday John Cort will present his musical comedy hit, "Flo-Flo," which was played at the Cort theatre, New York, all last season and was conceded to be the brightest musical production seen In the metropolis in many years. "Flo-Flo" is the setting of the only "perfect 36" comedy chorus in captivity, which has been gowned by Mr. Cort with such lavish expenditure that the fashion parade of the show alone would be sufficient for a revue. The plot evolved by Fred De Oresac for the piece centers about the Bride Shop where Angelina Stokes is ordering the trousseau for her wedding to a Spanish Count, whom she cannot love. Her affections center about Billy, a childhood sweetheart from Oshkosh, who suddenly arrives in New York and accepts a position with Mosher and Simpson. Billy and Angelina are separated by the latter's stern parent and Billy despairing, falls in love with the vampirish FloFlo, most beautiful of Mosher and Simpson's mannequins. MURRETTE Marguerite Clark, the celebrated

Paramount star who Is known as "the sweetest girl In pictures," proved an artistic delight in her new photoplay, . "Little Miss Hoover," at the Murrette ; theatre yesterday. The story of the; picture" is an admirable one and is I

based upon Maria Thompson Davies splendid novel, "The Golden Bird." The scenario was written by Adrian Gil-Spear and John S. Robertson was the capable director. The story is admirably suited to the requirements of Miss Clark and her more than adequate supporting cast

OFFICIAL TRAINING SCHOOL FOR FRIENDS PLANNED FOR EARLHAM

Dr. Allen D. Hole, member of Earlham college faculty, was appointed vice-president of the college, by the board of trustees in session Saturday, the appointment to become effective at once and to continue through the college year, and the year of 1919-20. Dr. Hole has been serving in this capacity, for some time, but without the recognition that this appointment gives. He will act officially for President Edwards during his absences

from the. college on business of the institution. Of national importance was the decision made by the board of trustees to broaden the Christian leadership school which was inaugurated at Earlham a year ago last October. The board of trustees agreed to the appointment of a man to head this school, which it is thought will become the national and official training school of the Five Years Meeting. As Richmond is the recognized head of the Five Years Meeting of America, Earlham was considered the logical place for the establishment of such a school for the training of Christian leaders, including ministers, missionaries, Sunday school workers and others for intensive work in Friends worlds work. Workers for other churches will also be able to receive training in this school. A man is being held in consideration by the college to take up the direction of this work, and his appointment will probably be announced in a few days. It is understood that Earlham has the support of the entire Christian Church in this Christian leadership school, and the attitude of the other Friends colleges has been very favorable. Such a school is needed and

theme. That those who saw the pre

mier presentation of the picture yesterday appreciated it was frequently demonstrated throughout the showing. LYRIC When Eddie Polo was appearing in the various episodes of "The Lure of the Circus," the sensational serial in which he has created a furore in mo-tion-picturedom, one of the scenes called for an escape from a huge lion. "You're all wrong, mister," Eddie told the director. "It isn't done any more. If I went in there and escaped, nine-tenth of the picture fans would cry 'fake. I'm going in against that big fellow in the menagerie and I'm going to show you a regular honest-to-gocdness battle." There was a battle, the like of which nobody in pictures ever saw before, but in the end, Eddie, who comes from a family of famous circus performers and lion trainers, was the victor. At the Lyric tomorrow.

increase the enrollment of the college student body, it is said. The board of directors also authorized the employment of an assistant athletic director. Coach Mowe has been able to devote his time only to the sports of the college, and in order that every man in the college may secure the highest amount of physical training needed, the board decided that an assistant instructor should be secured to present athletics to men who do not go in for sports, but who should be kept physically fit Another summer school will be conducted at Earlham next summer, the board decided. Dates were set to be from June 16 to August 23. Courses to accommodate students who wish to make up work; those who wish to reach ahead, and teachers' course will be offered. This year contrary to custom the board of trustees spent two doys in the annual conference, Friday being spent with preliminary work, when the standing committees of the board met and dealt with the problems concerning them. The board proper convened at 10:30 o'clock Saturday morning with all members present except Murray Barker, of Springtown, and the Rev. Enos Harvey, superintendent of Western Yearly Meeting, who were unable to be there. Consideration was given the campaign for an emergency fund of $60,-

000 which has been on foot for several months and it was reported that it is prospering in a satisfactory manner. The following report was made: "It will require the greatest energy and the most liberal response from the friends of the college if the amount is to be raised by the date set, June 1, 1919. It is greatly desired that this year be closed with the college out of debt, and as June 1 is the close of the fiscal college year, it is hoped that this amount may be accumulated by that date. S. J. McCracken, financial secretary of the college is in the field constantly in the

interest of this movement." Paul H. Brown, business manager of the college, presented to the building committee the verious needs of the college at the meeting Saturday morning. Repairs and improvements needed were noted. The committee reported that until the entire fund is completed they could not consider it wise to authorize any extensive repairs or

improvements, but that such work

will be started as soon as the fund is assured.

League of Nations is Needed to Keep World's Peace, Says Editor

Revival Services to Start at Nazarene Church

By VICTOR McNAUGHT

ONDON, Feb. 10 (Special Correspondence) Whenever a situation arises that justifies American newspapers in quoting the editorial opinions of the British press, we usually look for the views of the Daily News, London's

foremost exponent of liberalism in politics and world affairs. This paper owes its unique prestige to the genius of its editor, Mr. A. G. Gardiner, a man of quick and keen perception, wide information, strong convictions and broad humanity. Probably no other English Journalist better understands the American viewpoint; certainly no other is more in sympathy with the things that America stands for. A few days after the announcement of the election results, which indicated the present eclipse if not the downfall of the British Liberal party, I had half an hour's talk with Mr. Gardiner, during the progress of which he gave me briefly his interpretation of recent events. "The Liberal party will live," said Mr. Gardiner, "but the extent of its power and influence in the future cannot be forecast. It will be a center party, with some of its members leaning toward the Labor party." The reader will remember that although the election brought overwhelming victory to the Coalition forces, the Labor vote increased about fourfold, largely because of defections

' from the Liberal party. At the same

time, all the radical Laborite candidates, metixwith Bolshevist leanings

' like Ramsayi MacDonald, were sound-

ly beaten.

You should remember, continued

Mr. Gardiner, "that the Labor party is not concerned merely with labor

problems, and matters affecting the

working classes. It has a broad pro

( gram, touching upon many issues of

progress, it aesires a uuerai peace settlement, and is heartily in sym

pathy with President Wilson's ideas. Mr. Gardiner believes that the Brit

ish delegation to the peace confer

ence will support President Wilson in his efforts to bring about a league

of nations. He thinks that the presi-

, dent's visit swept away many doubts i and misunderstandings, and removed

definitely from the minds of the Eng

lish people any misgiving inrespect

of a bogey American scheme to curb

and hamper Britain's maritime prosperity and strength. Mr. Gardiner

does not believe, however, that an ideal and desirable peace settlement

is to be reached easily. He is keenly

aware of the dangers and difficulties

of old school diplomacy. To quote

rrom one of his own editorials: "It is idle to suppose that the enemy

we have been at grips with during the past five years was a certain nation or group of nations. The enemy was the military organization of society, and if that military organization, instead of being finally rooted out, is only embodied in new systems, the world will not be a better place to live in, but a worse. No one disputes that, and everyone at least pays homage to the world's desire for a peaceful solution of the problems of human government "But homage is not enough. If we desire the end we must pursue the means. They are clear enough, and with the acceptance by all the belligerents of the fourteen points it was assumed that we had really struck into the path of peace. But It is useless to shut one's eyes to the fact that all is not well. It has been notorious for weeks past that schemes of annexation based on secret treaties were being secretly pressed forward, that obscure designs in Russia were taking vague and menacing shape and now we are confronted, almost the day after President Wilson's speech in the city of London, with M. Clemenceau's declaration in favor of the restoration of the system of the balance of power. "If this policy is insisted on it means one thing and one thing only. It means that France repudiates the idea of the League of Nations. Ie means that the .world is not to be organized for peace, but to be reorganized for war. If that policy is pursued the peace conference is doomed to failure. America, as the president said at Manchester, will be no party to a balance of power. She departed from her tradition of isolation not to plunge into the . vortex of European militarism, but to help Europe out of that vortex. Her aim is not to establish the peace, of Europe on a war footing, but the peace of the world on a peace footing. "If that aim is to be disregarded America will have no choice but to lea veEurope to her own ways and her own fate. She will, of course, suffer the penalty which all will suffer. Since she has failed to induce the world to disarm, she will have to arm herself. And so the world will be started again on the race of competi

tive armaments, leading we know not to what combinations and balances, but leading certainly and unalterably to war." Mr. Gardiner is an admirer of Premier Lloyd George in a strictly limited sense. The British leader has a brilliant mind, he says, but is inclined to shift his sails to catch any and every favoring breeze. "Will the premier support the president in the league of nations?" was . asked. "Lloyd George will favor a league of nations," Mr. Gardiner answered, "if the world insists on it" American readers will of course remember that big public men are Judged most kindly and fairly outside their own countries. As it is with President Wilson at home, so it is with Lloyd George here. Each has plenty of warm critics in his own country, and equally warm admirers in the other's.
