HUNCHBACK OF \()’llll DAME. | The production made by Universal | of Victor Hugo's immortal story, “The | Hunchback of Notre Dame,” at thv[ | Palace theater, has met with the high favor exceeding any big produr(ion‘ | | { within ready memory and promising a | permanence most gratifying to all who have the welfare of the screen at heart. In massiveness and xhorv oughness this production is a revela- tion and gives truth to the pro- nouncement by able ecritics that it eclipses anything previously offered, Hugo's story was charged with a dramatic power such as he only could wield. The period of the 15th cen- tury in France was one wherein, drama filled to overflowing the daily! lives of its people.

Berlin, Feb, 18.--Minister mann, speaking befo German people’s party meeting yesterday, de- nounced the injustice with which he said the Germans in the occupied ter- ritory had been treated, and referred | particularly to the rocent events in| the Bavarian palatinat. The scparatist movement arisen in any way from the the German people, he declared. The very fact that such events could oc- | leur at all was proof of the machina- tions of General De Metz, commander of the French occupationary loncu jon the right bank of the Rhine, Insofar as stabilization of condi- ‘Hnnu for reconstruction was concern-| ed, nothing stood in the way except| the separation, almost accomplished by France, of the occupied territories. The negotiations with France, he went on, were based on the conditions in the occupled territories and the memoranda which has been exchang-| ed referred to re-establishment of| freedom of customs and communica tions, and all other questions affect. ing the re-establishment of German sovercignity in German territory. | In the negotiations. with the expert| reparation committees Dr. Strese- | mann saw the first streak of silver| on the sombre horizon.

EVANGELIST SEES END OF THE WORLD Nature’s Forces Working Toward That End, Says E. L. Cardey The forces of nature are undergo- | ing changes at the present time which forecast the end of the world, is the | | belief expressed by Evangelist E. L./ Cardey, in an address on bhehalf of the Seventh Day Adventists at the ceum theater yesterday. There was a large crowd present. ‘ Mrs, Trouchet rendered several solos. | Among other things Mr, Cardey | said: “Earthquakes are on the rapid | increase. The past ten years have| been greater than any previous ce tury., How many people have realiz- | ed that before this last summer and fall, the most destructive earthquake | in the history of the world, the great- est famine in the history of the world, | f | | | ] | ‘er greatest pestilence in the history of the world, had all occurred within less than ten years? Yet this is all true. When a great earthshock like |the one in Japan comes, many people v\ho should know better, say that this | is another evidence of the earth ('(IOI-I ing off and adjusting itself, and that| such disturbances will hecome less and less, The facts are that in the first | | thousand years of the Christian (m‘ recorded earthquakes occurred at the rate of about four a year., From| thousand such dis- turbances were recorded; and in 1910 | over ten thousand took place in our | world., Last year the record was & great, What is the meaning of this The disciples asked Jesus for a sign of his coming and the end of the world, as re ed in Matt, 24, He answered ‘there shall be famines, and | pestilences, m\:l carthquakes, in di- vers places, Jesus was right, H" | foresaw that the old earth would wear | lout, as it were, and ecarthquakes would increase rapidly before its end, “What shall we say of this great in- | erease of these disasters? Tt ig a sign that the day of judgment is rapidly | | nearing. This is only one sign of the soon coming of that great day, but the sign is so foreeful that every one should take warning. The prophet of Patmos, when writing in Revelation | declared that cvery eity of every na- | tion would be thrown down by a highty earthquake before the second | eoming of Christ. We believe the evi- dence is sufficient to cause us to be- lieve that the world js facing such a disaster, and then the coming of the Christ who shall reign supreme.” Mr, Cardey's second lecture will be in the Lyceum theater next Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock and the #ubject will be “World Peace or World War, Which Are We Coming To This lecture will also be illustrated | with pictures, h eggs, 1iros fres Russ, Positively doz. $1.00, Good fo fhe It diop fi}.e weight of du sits lightly upon t}z hostess who dines secure in the confi- dence that her coffee will be short of “Ggod 1o the last PALACE—Starting | Central government Lere and the Ba- ymors that Dr, Ic this Signature is NOT on the Box, it is NoT EBROMO QUININE “There is no other BROMO QUININE” Proven Safe for more than a Quarter of a Century as a quick and effective remedy for Colds, Grip and Influenza, and as a Preventive. !
