IT. 20 YEARS AGO From The Empire MARCH 23, 1917 The New York Tribune said that an American expeditionary force of 100,000 aen had been organized to fight in France under the leader- ship of Theodore Roosevelt. It had been financed by wealthy citizens of |America. The whole work of the rganization had been going on in secret for several months. Judge Robert W. Jennings issued a peremptory writ of mandamus {directed to members of the canvas- ng board commanding them to is- sue a certificate of election to Charles A. Sulzer as Delegate to (In Febru- ary, 1919, after Sulzer had served nearly two years in the House of Representatives, he was unseated by |Congress, and Judge James Wicker- sham, who had contested the elec- tion, was given the seat).

Ac- cording to astrology extreme care must be exercised to avoid those who cheat and bear false witness. Women today are subject to fa- vorable direction of the stars and they will benefit especially in ef- forts ‘that require trained intelli- gence. This should be a happy wedding day since Uranus is in a place that promises sympathy and cuoperation in the partnership. Theatres will profit at that -time when amusements will gain greatly in popularity. Both stage and screen will draw large audiences. Again the seers prophesy success for young players who will attain more popularlity than profit from their careers. The end of extreme rewards for character interpreta- tion is foretold. This is not an auspicious rule for |launching of new enterprises, but |it is promising for those who plan and seek financial support.
