In the story the two are dancers who 1 win their way to fame and thuB some ' of tho couples famous dances are given, including the skating dance. These register well on the screen and will easily captivate any of that vast throng of dance enthusiasts which we have in this country. Both of these exponents of the dance give a cred itable performance, considering the i fact that acting is not their profes sion, tno picture nas Deen nana somcly produced and well directed.

Quality and Service SHERRY'S Sherry's Today and Tomorrow. The ordeal of fire faces William Furnum in his latest photoplay for William Fox, "Fires of Conscience." He finds almost insuperable difficulties in his battle for the love of a girl. Ho wages two fights, one against him self, and tho other against his ene mies. In the end he is triumphant and happy. The story begins when George Baxter (Mr. Fainum) brings home -his wife, Margery (Gladys Brock well). She was a college girl, whom George had seen once, fallen in love with, and married. George's father, Robert Baxter (II. A. Barrows) chief of the city police, welcomes the girl into his family. All goes well until Paul Sneed, a neighbor, (Henry J. Hebert), returns to the city. He hud known Margery before her marriage. When George returns homo unexpectedly, late one night, he finds Paul in the room with his wife. The intruder runs from the house. George follows, and shoots him. Paul fulls dead on the .street. Only Margery Baxter and Paul's father, Judge Randolph Sneed (Wil liam Ifurress) have been witnesses of the tragedy. George, half crazed by the impul siveness which had led him to murder, leaves tho city. Scarcely knowing what he is doing, he takes a train for the West. In Arizona, he makes his homo in a mining camp. Meanwhile, his wife has committed suicide. At tho camp, George meets there Nell Blythc, a good woman who gains her living by singing in the miners' dance-halls. Nell realizes that soma influence of which she is ignorant is spoiling the lifo of the big man whom the miners idolize. She begs him to go back East and face out the trou blo that is worrying him. Impelled by her faith, lie returns to the East. In tho trial which follows, Randolph Sneed sits in judgment on the mur derer of his son. But he realizes the worthlessness of Paul, and at the end of the trial, he rises in his seat, ad vances toward the jury, and says: "God help me, gentlemen 01 tne jury. As he is my judge, and as I hope for mercy at his judgment seat, 'I am the only, living eye witness to the death of Paul Sneed. I must in struct you that this is a case of the 'unwritten law,' and that the pris oner be found not guilty." Then George, his heart light, and his soul purged, returns to the W3t. Ho asks Nell to be his wife, ibut she says s-ho would only interfere with his future success. . 1 THE FORUM CHILDREN AS SEAL SELLERS Medals For Successful Salesmen Holiday Stickers of Pope to Present Redcaps to Two Rome, Dec. 7.

LYNCH CO. Jefferson Ave., One Block East of Depot Fone Main 10 J A POSSIBLE AFTERMATH OK THE WAR. La Grande, Iec. 7. (To the Edi tor.) Dr. Hugo Munstorberg, pro fessor of psychology at Harvard, has recently published a noteworthy book, entitled "Tomorrow: Letters to a ! Friend in Germany." The "Tomorrow" refers to the morrow of pcr.ee after the war. The following extract from a re view of the book in last Sunday's Ore gonian gives some idea of his inter esting speculations as to the read justments, which will follow. As Dr Munsterberg is a German, and the ar dent champion of his nntive country's cause, what he says is all the more striking, especially concerning the restoration of Belgium, and possibly Alsace-Lorraine. Our author writes with modera tion, as if he expected peace to be declared soon, and thinks thnt we ought to get ready to tackle the new international social problems that may arise. He argues: "Japan, as soon as it is supported by Russia, becomes an antagonist to the historic tasks of the United Stales. It must seek not only the control of the Philippines, but of the Pacific. Mexico would be Japan's natural ally. America can meet this -danger, only by some kind of under standing with Great Britian. England and America will balance Russia, 1 Japan and Mexico. A prophecy which j goes up to this point seeni3 pretty safe, as the psychology of the situa- I tion simply demands this grouping. Germany will have to join the one or the other party: Germany will com , bino with Russia, or with Englrnd. j "If the three great Teutonic nations enter into a practical union, the peace ; of the world is secure for children and children's children. Great Britian's I navy, Germany's army and America's ! economic power, nay, Great Britian's i colonizing genius, Germtiny's thor-' ' oughncss nnd America's energetic optimism, will make an invincible i team. With Germany on the English j side, Russia could never attack India. "British-German understanding I would promise long, unbroken peace. Germans, English and, alas! Ameri cans will have to forget much which has set their blood boiling. Mistakes have been made on nil aides, and have been sincerely regretted on all sides. Sober statesmen must replace senti mentality and hatred, i "The whole of Belgium must go back to the Belgians. Germany must find an outlet in the fields of colon ial activity. It may be that France will receive back all the lost European ter ritory, and that in exchange Germany will get a part of Morocco and of the French" Congo." j The picture ho draws is an alluring ' one, and not beyond the bounds of possibility. The thoughtful English men feel thnt this conflict against the German is an unnatural one, as much so as his alliance with Russia is illotrical. After the present eruption has subsided nnd sober reason restor ed, the German nnd British nations will evcntunlly be drawn together by srbtlo forces, too strong to be perma nently resisted. Even now the English claim they are not primarily fiirhting tie German people but the military clique which has subjugated them to t a vicious ideal. The' most interesting nnd important history of the war ' will probably never be written. For this will require collaboration of the prophet nnd the psychologist nnd will not deal with military operations. but with those undrrlyimr, opposing, sniritunl, mornl nnd psychological in fluences, of which the awful carnage, the destruction of life and property, 'are the outwnrd vNSMp sierra.
