of New York City, and the thirteen other service men of The Palladium were honor guests at a banquet given by The Palladium in the main dining room of the Westcott hotel last evening.

All members of The Palladium organization were guests. Rudolph G. Leeds acted as toastmaster and responses were given by Col. Bryant and John W. Hays of Indianapolis, secretary of the International Typographical Union. The honor guests with their wives were seated at a long table placed at the south of the dining room, and

The next night we advanced at a different hour and caught them sleeping. It worked that way dozens of times." He explained briefly the unwholesome "Comrade" trick of the Boche,

in which they again became too dogmatic for their own good. Situation In September. "The general situation on the western front in September, when the Boche had been driven back to the Hindenburg line, that mass of modern

Hays, who gave the first response. Mr. Leeds explained th object of the banquet, and the need of cooperation between employers and employes.; - - -r - "Never has then been a time when times were bo good among the printers in this country as now." said Hays; "Ar.d, moreover, I believe that other trades and industries are going to be In the same splendid condition soon. "In this reconstruction period, I believe It is quite essential that we, as working people, take time to give serious thought to existing conditions. No Serious Danger Lurking. "I do not believe there is serious danger in store for our country from

that which we Know as ijojsnevnsiu. I am satisfied that if employers and employes face the situation co-operatively, all danger from social unrest can be averted. ""We are now facing some important problems, of which the greatest problem is to re-establish the conditions existing previous to the war relative to wages and the purchasing power of them. Before the war certain wages could purchase a specified amount of lood and clothing. Now wages will purchase a certain amount, but not the same amount. This gap must .be closed, and it must be closed scientifically through co-operation. This is

the Canadians had been halted at Can

bra!. "Our organization at this time was: Infantry, heavy and whippet tanks, going first to get the objective; then the Australians, and then the British. The artillery was mobilized In mass to fire the barrage, and the guns were practically hub to hub. We had 196 heavy machine guns, added to artillery., motor car trains and cavalry. "On September 29, at 5:30 o'clock, we were to go over. On September 27, we got orders to straighten the line, and our machine guns and artillery let go at the zero hour. Only ono of our tanks continued any distance. The fighting continued for three days, and as it waxed hotter it became more and more difficult to see the main locations of the lines through the smoke, but the battalion continued to advance and eventually took the trench. The casualties were of course very heavy. .. . ' Make Steady Gain. "At the end of the third day we went back to rest, but in six days came back, making a steady advance. We went through the Somme Canal, fighting day after day, going over the top day after day." Colonel Bryant said that his division entered with 9,000 rifles and ended at the Somme with 850 rifles. Twenty-six hundred men and 64 officers of his regiment went in, he said, while only 300 men and five officers came out. They gained, however, every objective, and took many thousand prisoners. To the younger men and the carrier boys the colonel said: "There are a few lessons which this war has taught soldiers, things of admirable help to you who are growing up. The Irst thing, boys, that a soldier has -to learn is self control, and the second Is consideration for

others. Self control is a bully good thing for anybody, and lack of it is fatal in peace as well as war. Another necessary thing which our men have learned in this war is accuracy.

LABOR EXODUS IS SHOOTING UP GOAL PRICES.SAY DEALERS

Coal prices are not going down but up, and steady increase of ten cents a month on anthracite is to be expected until next September, coal dealers said today. This increase is fixed by the operator and covers the period of five months between April 1 and September 1. "But after September 1 prices will probably drop again," dealers quote incredulous buyers as saying. This ia a vorv nnntfn.dv Blank to stand on.

up to this entirely original "operation" by her uncle, a friend of Monte' s, who concocted this practical Joke on Monte in return for one Monte had put over

on him. Since Madaline Traverse became a screen star she has received many inquiries from artists who want her to pose for historical paintings. She ia generally regarded as one of the most beautiful women in motion pictures and has a large following among artists who have seen her work. While she has not time enough at her disposal to pose for paintings, these offers are naturally pleasing to her as they would be to any woman. One offer came from a sculptor who had a

contract to make a heroic figure of Beauty to adorn a State Capitol. Miss Travers is now appearing on the screen at the Murray theatre in a William Fox play called "The Love That Dares."

Menlo Moore who specializes in "girl acts"- and whose two big girl revue found favor at the Murray recently, is sending Manager Holland his latest and biggest girl revue entitled "The Follies of Today" opening the last half of the week of May 19. This

act consists of ten girls, one man, and the usual bewildering display of artistic scenery, while the customary songs and dances will be presented during the progress of the act. The act is having its premier this week at one of the larger Chicago theatres, and from advance reports It promises to be the most pretentious Mr. Moore has produced. They play Richmond on their way from Chicago to New York. Commencing Monday, May 26, a full "girlie week" will be inaugurated, when Boyle Woolfolks Musical Comedy Stars will appear at the Murray for the entire

week. This company comprises 27 people, carry their own musical director, baggage car, stacked with Bcenery, and will present three full complete productions during their week's engagement here. A daily matinee will be given, with two shows nightly in connection with the regular pictor

ial program. This company will go direct from here to Indianapolis where they have been engaged by the Shriners to appear the entire week at one dollar top price admission. Owing to

the immense cost'entailed in bringing this attraction here, a slight advance

in price will be enforced. The following musical comedies will be offered: "The Yankee Princess," "Paradise Valley" and "The Dream Girl," with a

complete change ... of costumes ' and.

scenery for each production. Elmer

Candy and Myrtle Deloy are the jea-;

tured principals, supported by a competent cast, a "broiler" chorus and six

show girls.

VAUDEVILLE ONE DAY OF FIRST HALF AT MURRAY.

' Vaudeville at the Murray will only be played one day (Wednesday) the first half of next week, owing to the Eagles Minstrels hold the boards Monday and Tuesday. Miss Thelma Thomas, a clever child artist of this city will hold the headline position appearing with the two regular vaudeville acts. William Desmond In "Tie Prodigal Liar," a western comedy, will be the screen feature for that day only. Mr. Holland, today by wire, engaged his personal friend Bill Deeley of the famous bigtime team of Dooley and Nelson, to present his single act opening May 22 appearing on the same bill with Menlo Moore's big girl revue, "The Follies of Today," and Pauline Frederick in - the screen sensation, "Paid in Full." The Murray May bookings give promise of surpassing in quality anything they have yet offered.

MURRETTE Most of the automobile race scenes for the Paramount picture, "The Roaring Road," which stars Wallace Reid in the role of a young "speed devil", were photographed on the Santa Monica Race course. For years this famous course has

been the scene of many desperate and thrilling speed conflicts between some of the most noted racing drivers of the day, including Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, the American Ace of Aces, Teddy Tetzlaf f, Barney Oldfield and other well known pilots, too numerous to mention. The course is located near Los Angeles, where many Paramount and Artcraft pictures are produced. Mr. Reid drove his own car for all
