The con census of opinion in official and dip lomatic 'circles concerning Count von Hertling's speech Is that it is a "war speech" and not a "peace speech." A high official of the foreign office informs the Associated Press that the aims of Von Hertling's oration were three fold. First, he desired to create a division between the Allies, especially between the Anglo-Saxon group and the Latin group. Second, he wanted to stim ulate' peace talk in allied and neutral countries in an effort to bring about another. "Brest-Litovsk". Third, the Chancellor's maneuver was expected to Impress public opinion in Germany and abroad that military officials do not rule in Germany, but that the dip lomats and politicians have the upper hand. A Belgian diplomatic official told the Associated Press that Belgium probably would not deign to respond to Von Hertling's brutal and undiplo matic request. He said: "Dignified siljence is the best re ply to the undignified and thoroughly German proposal. This is the second time that Germany has offered open ly a separate peace to Belgium. Once before in 1914, after the fall of Liege, a similar proposal met with an em phatic rebuff from the Belgian gov eminent, and if any reply is vouch safed by the Belgian government now it will be equally as emphatic. It is Belgium's unalterable decision to re main staunch to its allies, friends and protectors." SWATLOW DEATH LIST 200 TO 300 PERSONS - - 1 I THEATRE "THS. PRINCESS PAT."

Mary Miles Minter, clever and charming little ingenue of the motion picture hall of fame, has been given a delightful role in her new Ameri- can-Mutuar production, "Beauty andl the Rogue," which was scenaorized by Elizabeth Mahoney from the story by Arthur Bertelet, tomorrow's attrac tion at the Grand. Miss Minter is portrayed as the daughter of a wealthy man who in dulges her in every whim her ob sesion being to do good among the poor and criminal classes. The pret ty little girl becomes interested in a burglar, just released from the pen itentiary, who has told her a pitiful story of his career. She insists upon her father's employing him as under gardener and while acting in that ca pacity "Slippery Bill" robs the home of his benefactor, besides planning to kidnap the child who has befriended him. One of Miss Robert's jewels is sold by "Slippery" to the man who is in love with her and he presents her with her own brooch. When accused the young man assists in running down the burglars and of course he wins the girl. Included in the cast are such well known actors and actresses as Alan Forrest, Orral Humphrey, George Periolat, Lucille Ward, Spottiswoode Aitken and Clarence Burton.
