BRINGING UP

RESULT OF WAR ON H. G. L. WILL DECIDE STRIKE Ninety Days Set as Time Limit by Rail Men Wait Lower Prices. WASHINGTON, Aug. 29 Industrial peace in the United States depends on the results the Government can show In the next cinet nays in its campaign to reduce the tost of living. That time limit was set tacitly Thursday by the Executive Council of the Railroad Shop Crafts in suggesting to union locals throughout the country that President Wilson's compromise offer in response to their deriand for higher wages should he accepted pending the outcome of the effort to restore a normal price level. If tho cost of living does not come flown, the 500,000 members of the shop t rafts would reserve tho right to strike lor more money, and with them, probfibly, would !) associated the remainder of the 2,500,000 railway employes, all of whom have been considering tha fcamo problem. Official Circles Composed. The letter of the Executive Council terves to compose somewhat the uneasiness felt in official circlps over the Immediate labor situation, and to focus attention on t lie legal measures being directed by Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer and his assistant, Judge Ames, to take the inflation out of prices by punisiiing hoarders and profiteers. "In our opinion," the letter said, "the r.ext 90 days will bring the entire situation to a head, and if a strike is to take place evry class of railroad em- , ployees should be willing to join in the movement, share their full meas ure of responsibility, and not leave the Issue to be decided by the 22 per cent of the railroad employees represented by the Federated Trades."

Grace Julian Clarke Speaks at Newcastle NEWCASTLE, Ind., Aug. 29. Speaking before the teachers attending the Henry County Institute here Thursday afternoon, Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke of Indianapolis, who is speaking under th auspices of the League to Enforce Peace, declared that if the league of nations Is not ratified by the United States Senate a war more deadly than the world has ever seen will result and that the question now is the league of nations or the extermination of humanity." Mrs. Clarke paid tribute to Henry County's great general, Omar Bundy, and also lauded Wililam Howard Taft, whom she declared will receive as much credit or more than any one person if the league of nations covenant is ratified. She declared that the league Is nothing but an understanding or an agreement between nations to promote a just peace and abide by international law. She compared it with government. Mrs. Clarke snid: "laws do not prevent all crime and neither will the league of nations prevent all wars. But laws do prevent, somp crimes and the league of nations will go a long way toward preventing wars." Mrs. Clarke said she agreed with Phillip Gibbs. the war correspondent. whom she said had declared that the ! world must accept t lie league of nations or the consequences of its rejectionBolshevism. "I do not know what Bolshevism is exactly, but I do know we do not want it here," she said. GERMAN AGENT OF VILLA IS FREED (F?v Associated Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. Felix A.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM,

SPECIALS POPULAR; LOVERS, TRAVELING MEN, ALL USE 'EM Special delivery letters have increased nearly 100 per cent in the local postoffice in the last year, Postmaster Beck said Friday morning. "There are several reasons for the big advance in special delivery letters," continued Beck. "People have more money and 'can afford to send many more special letters than ever before. Not so many years ago it was more or less of a luxury to send special letters, but those days have passed. Then many persons are under the impression that it is much safer to send money and other valuable articles via the special delivery route than it is by any other unregistered letter. "In fact, the risk is even greater, for a special delivery letter is by far the one that is mostly tampered with. Postal clerks and delivery boys know that people send money more frequently by that route than by the other routes, except insured. Daily Deliveries. "The increase has been more noticeable in daily special deliveries than Sunday. We have in our office a daily average of 80 special delivery letters, which are used to a great extent by business men. Of course the number is greater on Sunday, but the increase is not as large as in proportion as to the daily number." "Colored people are a great hand to send special delivery letters, for many reasons known only to themselves. Then we have the lovers. There is where many of our over week-end letters come from. Everybody loves a lover but the postman, who has to make so many trips. "Then again there are the traveling men who also tend to shoot the number of Sunday specials up. Very few married traveling men fail to send a special delivery home over the weekend." No Distinction Made In Austrian Treaty (By Associated Press) PARIS, Thursday, Aug. 2R. The Echo De Paris says today that the treaty with Austria carries most favored nation clauses for all the allied and associated governments without distinction between them.

The Theatres WASHINGTON In a light and sparkling comedy role, seasoned with an undercurrent of emotional drama, in a story which treats of some problem which daily arises in the affairs of modern man and woman that's where Constance Talmadge's clever portrayals of parts of this nature which base drawn to her an exceptionally large following of screen patrons. Just such a role has this beautiful and vivacious young star in her latest Select Picture, "Happiness a la Mode." in which she is preseated by Lewis J. Selznick, and which can be seen today and tomorow at the Washington theatre. In this sprightly and breezy comedy plus drama. Miss Talmadge plays the part of a young and beautiful wife who finds the same problem confronting her that many other young wives have to face; her husband grows restles and begins to favor another woman. But this little wife proves to be just as clever as the other woman and the way she wins back her husbad and fools her rival, forms a very entertaining story and one that everyone will certainly enjoy. Miss Talmadge's work in this production is, as usual delightful, buoyont and effervescent. "Happiness a la Mode" reaches the zenith of what a gay an'.l sparkling comedy ought to be. It will drive the bluest blues away. MURRAY. The new Paramount picture, "The Test of Honor," affords John Barrymore mnny dramatic scenes and incidents which might have been written especially for Jiim so well do they suit his individual type of acting and characterization. The picture is displayed at the Murray Theatre today. In one scene it was necessary to show an apparition in the jail where Barrymore is serving time for an alleged murder which he did not commit. A large, muscular actor was engaged for the part, and John Barrymore himself attended to the make-up on his future apparition. "I know the sort of a face that would give ni" the creeps in the dark, and I will put lhat face on his," he said. A few hours later the act or was brought down before the director for I inspection, and one an! aP a creed ill'1 ! the face whic h peered out belote a dim lisht while the camera regi.-iere.l j its hideous grimaces, was absolutely the most frightful apparition that could H.

possibly be imagined, and that nothing less than lobster and mince pie could produce a face like that. "The Test of Honor" is an admirable picturization of E. Phillips Oppenheim's celebrated novel, "The Malefactor," and for ihe first time since he became a motion picture star, Mr. Barrymore has a strong dramatic role. He is splendidly supported by a cast of pickled players, Constance Binney and Marcia Manon having the leading femiuine roles. Others in the cast include Robert Sellable, J. W. Johnson. Bigelow Cooper, Ned Hay, Alma Aiken and Fred Miller. MURRETTE. Although "Bare-Fisted Gallagher." William Desmond's latest production, showing at the Murrette, is a western comedy-drama, there is little of the hackneyed gun-play which is flashed in the usual western in order to work up dramatic action. "Bare-Fisted" fights with his two fiats, and they prove effective weapons. He beats up a had Mexican who wields a wicked knife, knocks out the stage-driver and takes his place unarmed in order to capture a mysterious bandit. " 'Bare-Fisted Gallagher,' appeals to me just a little stronger than anything I ever played." said Desmond, "because he played fair, did not depend upon any weapons to give him courage, and beat up his opponents without
