The others are “A Fool ‘There Was,” “The Clemenceau Case,” in. which Miss Bara is also the star, “The Bondman,” “The Plunderer” and “A | Soldier’s.

Thé paper recalls that at the beginning of the war, prophets spoke of a “steel bath’ in the waters of which the morals of the German people would recuperate. “Since August 4, 1914,” says the Vorwaerts, “we have allowed the blessings of this bath to act on us with steadily increasing vigor and the result is a moral condition of health of the German people of which the compilations of criminal statis- ties give convincing reports. These tell us of the steadily increasing number of crimes of brutality, ‘and serious crimes against property and} a glance at any newspaper confirms the horribly increasing number of robberies and burglaries in the cities and as well as in rural districts. Systematically organized and meth- odically operating bands of robbers menace continually life and property of ‘respectable’ citizens. “Also honesty of the latter has suffered a perceptible “crack” and here the influence of the steel bath is directly proved. We do not feel’ \that we are disclosing any state en-| dangering secret when we announce; the fact that at present there prob- ably are few German subjects left who have not in some more or less serious manner violated the existing government decrees and laws and made themselves liable to punish- | ment.”” The Vorwaerts, then cites the in-| stances of the citizen, who on Sun-) days goes to the country to buy food | for hoarding purposes, of the proud | wife of the owner of a large estate, | whose chickens “lay” eggs only for a mark apiece, of the wife of the first lieutenant who sells the food articles received from her husband | at the front at fancy prices and tne) army of usurers, secret traders and forgers. ee AS ES Edward F. Massam, formerly of Casper, was a visitor here for.a few days while attending to business mat- ters for the Traders Oil Company. Mr. Massam returned to Denver last night. “KICK: if you don’t get as good service or merchandise at the Smokehouse as you ever got at any other first- class cigar and tobacco store.
