Pomen of the United States, as sembled at the Nation's capital, have united in an effort to end war among civilized nations forever. The or ganization, known as the "Woman's Peace Party' is based on the idea that man's efforts for peace have been a failure for over five hundred years. : 1 The message flaslfeed across the k rountry from the meeting is that "the greatest price Europe is going t- have to pay is not even in the lives of men she is now giving, but the blasted lives of generations yet unborn." ThesA were the wnrda vf Mioe Cti sanna Cocroft, the well-known health ! m . m dVt .... I advocate 01 nicago wno participat ed in the big peace meeting.

ROCKY MOUNT BARAC A CLASS ENTERTAINS Rocky Mount, N. C, Feb. 13. Those who failed to avail "themselves of the privilege of attending the social and business session of the . Baraca class of the Methodist church last Thursday night missed a rare treat. About 150 persons, members and invited guests, were on hand at the appointed hour and the musical and literary programme that had been -arranged by the com mittee was carried out in an exception ally excellent manner bythe ladies and gentlemen who took part. Where all did so well it would seem invidious to discriminate, yet the writer thinks the solo of Mrs. Dunn and Miss Lu cile Cuthrell, as' well as that of Mr. W. D. Lewis, deserved especial men- i tion; while the violin solos, by Miss Lucia were fully up to her usual stand ard of excellence, and rfo higher praise could be bestowed on her. The other numbers were all well rendered and the programme thoroughly enjoyed throughout.. After the regular routine business session, reports of officers, committees etc., , most delicious . refreshments were"' served by the ladies of the church. i Thoclass is doing good work among the men of the church and should be encouraged. It numbers among its members some of the most prominent substantial men of the community, a well as a hundred or more young men. It is hoped that it will con tinue to grow in power and influence.

"Worry, hatred, anxiety and fear must be the consuming thought of the mothers and sisters of Europe today. These are eating at the very heart of national strength. Our mothers and sisters across the sea have little heart for food. Their bodies, consumed-by worry, anxiety and fear grow weak and inefficient. "Emperor-.

Hesulutiwnoi Adopted by the Social Ser vice Conference. (State Board of Health.) The recent meeting of the State So cial Service Conference in no manner slept on its job". From the resolutions passed, the weight 01 their importance and the range of their interest, it is evident that the true conception of ser vice which prompted the organization of the Conference is actuating it to day. These resolutions are broad, yet considerate, comprehensive yet definite, in their view of the questions to which they are addressed. They indicate the position of the Conference on matters of timely importance, especially those relating to social conditions, and rep resent the pulse beats of the States best thought in social welfare work.

(Special ' Star Correspondence.) Greenville, N. C, Feb. .13. -For some time the matter of a change in the city charter and the employment of a' "city manager" to run, the city affairs has been agitated and at a former meeting a committee was appointed to look into the matter, and report to another meet ing. That - other meeting -a mass meeting was held in the "court house last night. The ' committee reported the matter favorably, but the crowd did not take to it and after consider able, discussion a vote; was called and the result was . so - overwhelmingly against the proposed plan that " the chairman did not think it worth while to announce the . vote. - THEATRICAL It's here! '"After Her Millions," the wildest cdmedy riot that was ever per mitted to escape from a producing stu dio. It's all jammed into three reels three reels of hila'rious fun. Three reels of farce farce that makes , one choke and gasp in a vain effort to give expression to the laughter which runs over while Billle Kitchie, Pathe Lehr- man and Gertrua Selby are on the screen. It's no laughing matter to laugh one's self sick, but "After Her Millions" lit erally makes one giddy-headed with unrefined and unrestrained mirth. It will cause a general riot at the Bijou this afternoon and tonight, and if some one doesn't get injured it will be a mir acle. The cop on the corner will be tipped off, for the yowls and howls which will go up when this seat-rocking comedy is flashed on the screen, will make police headquarters send out the reserves. Billie. Ritchie is one of Nature's own comedians. In fact, it is to laugh when one merely looks at him. Those feet, those clothes, those grimaces! Wlien Bijou gives notlves that it will not be reels of rib-tickling, side-splitting and back-breaking comedy, it's time to draw the curtain. Human nature just can't stand it. Dislocated jaws are bound to follow its production, and the Bijou gives notice that i twill not be responsible for any such Injuries, after this fair warning. It's not for the weak. Delicate frames will be shatter ed by the waves of laughter which, will shake them fh tremor after tremor of earthquake violence. What's it all about? Billle Ritchie only knows. It starts somewhere and ends somewhere, but jus what's be tween no one knows. You won't know after it's over you don't have time to follow the plot. Then there's another one that de serves more mention than we have the space for. It's a rousing two-reel Mu tual drama,; "On the Ledge," a novel plot cleverly handled by two great fa vorite Irene Hunt and Wallace Reid. It's two full reels of the highest class drama that Mutual knows how to pro duce, and that's enough said. -Some Joy at the Grand. You will, indeed, go shy a big bunch of joy if you fail to be in on to day's great show at the New Grand. In the language of the streets, it is going to be some show. Heading to day's swell offering conies a film that has b,een widely advertised and one that, has been eagerly looked forward to by the folks of Wilmington. It is nothing less than the screen appear ance of that charming and popular ac tress. Gertrude McCoj-y in the big Edi son sensation, "Tj Girl at the Key," being one of the phases and by far the most exciting and intense of the life of "The Girl Who Earns Her Living." This one feature alone would be of sufficient importance to make any movie show great, but it is not alone in its glory at the New Grand today. There are four other feature films in all, thus affording a great show, the biggest and best in Wilmington, An other one of today's topliners is. "The Fates and Flora Fourflush," being the second of the most spectacular and novel fun productions ever made for the screen and with the well known actress, Clara Kimball Young, in the leading role. Still another great com edy on today, one of the favorites, will be "The Battle of Snakeville," including, of course, "Slippery lim." There is yet another big laugh pro ducer in Lubin's "Feel My Muscale." The dramatic side has not been over looked today by any means, and head ing this part of today's show will come "Love's Savage Hate," a thrilling story of Mexico, and with L. C. Shumway and Velena Whitman in the star parts. So don't miss today's phenomenal offer ing at the New Grand. No, there is no raise in the price of admission. It remains at the same old figure 5 cents, afternoon and night. Springfield, 111., Feb. 14. Declaring that the anti-liquor forces have had their chance and have failed, "wet" leaders in the -Lower House of the Gen eral Assembly announced today that they would attempt to organize the House along strictly wet and dry lines this week, the seventh of the speaker ship deadlock.
