Sums no Het Allies.
London, April s.—With a forecast
that the European war will last at
least another year, Chancellor of the

of figures showing the war’s cost in
dollars and cents.
England’s national debt, he pointed
out, has nearly tripled since the war
began. It is nearly $11,700,900,090.
Mr. McKenna proposed putting a
tax on amusements, including thea
ters, moving-picture estat lishments,
horse races and football matches. The
tax on these would be graduated ac
cording to the charge for admission.
England is spendin; $25,009,000
daily for war purposes. She has show
ered immense sums of money upon
her allies.
During the coming year England
will spend about $5,125,000,000 McKen
na said. Of this amount, $6,875,000,000
will represent her own expenditures;

JACK HEMPLE AND BITTER ROOT
KID FAVORITES IN TOMOR
ROW’S BOXING CONTESTS.
Jack Hemple, who helped Jess Wil
lard get in shape for his fights with
Jack Johnson and Frank Moran, and
who meets Lee Nelson tomorrow,
Thursday night, in Kenosha, has a
formidable record among the lesser
lights of the ring. He comes from the
coast, where he attracted a lot of at
tention by knocking out four men in
a row. He went to New York and
there stretched out six opponents in
succession. He has fought Gunboat
Smith and Tow Cowler, earning a draw
with each in cen round bouts. Despite
this list of knockouts, Nelson’a friends
are backing him to win. They were
so convinced with the showing he
made against Bud Gorman recently
that they are taking three to one
Hemple does not finish the ten rounds.
The various remarks attributed to the
Bitter Root Kid regarding his battle
with Rabbit Hedlin have stirred the
Hedlin forces to action. They have
faith in the Rabbit, and are covering
all the Bitter Root money in sight.
The Montana scrapper may think a
lot of his ability, but when it comes to
rough and ready battling, the Irving
Park boy can step a bit himself. Ar
rangements have been completed for a
special train over the North-Western
leaving Chicago at 6:55. Al Bloom is
handling the sale of seats. Two other
bouts are on the card, one a “come
back” stunt for Eddie Tancel against
Mickey Anderson, and the other en
listing the services of two Kenosha
youths.—Chicago Post. advdw
THIS WEEK’S PARAMOUNT PICT
URES AT THE RHODE.
Friday’s Paramount program at the
Rhode will show Victor Moore in E.
W. Townsend’s “Chimmie Fadden Out
West.” Chimmie Fadden is* a char
acter of American literature likely to
live as long as Tom Sawyer or other
famous youths of fiction. Chimmie is
city bred. He is a product of the
bowery, with all the instincts and
mannerisms of the city ragamuffin,
whose vision of life is limited by sky
scrapers and stone pavements. What
happens to Chimmie when he goes to
the far West, becomes a mining pros
pector and tries the simple life is
most interestedly told in “Chimmie
Fadden Out West.” Cecil B. De Mille,
director general of the Lasky Feature
Play Company, is the producer of
“Chimmie Fadden Out West.”

Marie Doro in “The White Pearl”
on Saturday’s Program.
“The White Pearl” is a fascinating
combination of romance, drama and
mystery, which centres about the love
of an American girl and boy, whom
destiny transplants in far-off Japan,
under strange and thrilling circum
stances. Miss Doro’s wonderful dark
eyes, about which more has been writ
ten than any one feature of any other
American star, and which were so ef
fective in her characterization of Car
lotta in “The Morals of Marcus,” are
also a powerful factor in her delinea
tion of the transformed American girl
when she finds herself in the role of a
Japanese geisha girl. Her delicate
beauty and captivating grace and at
tractiveness help her succeed in mak
ing a picture of exquisite charm
and appeal.
Pathe News of Current Events will
also be shown. advdw
PREPARING FOR WAR AT WEST
POINT—AT THE RHODE
FRIDAY.
For his third picture in his Para
mount Series, Burton Holmes takes
his “Easy Chair” travelers on a visit
to our National Military Academy at
West Point, there to study the daily
life of Uncle Sam’s Cadets, the future
generals who in after years will lead
the armies of the United States.
These pictures will be shown at the
Rhode Theatre on Friday afternoon
and night in addition to the usual
Paramount program.
Whether one is an advocate for
preparedness or not, one should at
least know something of existing
conditions and study into what the
War Department is doing in the way
of fitting those brave boys who are
devoting their entire lives to the fight
ing of our country’s battles or at
least toward making themselves capa
ble of whipping an army of civilians
into proper condition in the least
possible length of time, should trou
ble ever come, from without or with
in our own boundaries.
Mr. Holmes’ really remarkable series
of West Point pictures show all the
phases of our cadet’s lives of study,
drill and play'. They also give a won
derful knowledge of the beautifully
situated military academy itself, its fine
buildings for study, its drill halls, its
mess hall, the parade grounds, Flirta
tion Walk, the old historic remin
iscences of revoluntionary . days, and
even glimpses of the serving room, dur
ing Sunday dinner hour when hundreds
of roast chickens and gallons upon gal
lons of ice cream are served to the
healthy appetites of our young soldiers.
Building of pontoon bridges, daring
artillery and cavalry drilling, target
practice mounted and dismounted, in
fantry drill, dress parade, guard mount
—all these features of life at West
Point will be seen by all those who
take Mr. Holmes for their guide and
follow him to our “Soldier Factory on
the Hudson.” advdw
