Toronto, Dee, 12.--The Star day. commenting on Germany's peace move, Says: "It is mot likely that Von Beth- lies can be induced to make péace under present military conditions. He probably knows that the -Allied army Macedonia must be swept out of the Balkans with the aid of Greece and another summer of des-| peraté' effort to force German lines in the west be frustrated before the, Allies, if ever, will become reconcil- ed to a- draw. But Germany dreads the coming ordeal. She feels she cannot the Allies come to a decision urging on her part | " | The people of Germany and Aus-| tria-Hungary have developed a pass- | ion for peace. Discontent and seeds| of revolt are on all sides. The food| situation is serious, and many months| must pass hefore new harvests are! available. The victories in Rumania| are devoid of the military significance attached to them in most neutral and | some Allied quarters. The troops and guns and shells that should have | heen held in reserve for the 1917) campaign have been severely drawn on to offset the ill-effects of Ru- manian intervention, which are real, if not apparent. On all fronts this fd! sacrifices have been made for the sole purpose of impressing the Allies with an undue sense of German power. Germany wants peace and wants it badly, and she has made a supreme effort to frame up a situa- tign which would give her some ex-! cuse for offering an ante bellum status quo for the "welfare of hu- manity." in wait uatil slow-moving without SHOE AND LEATHER JOURNAL.

"The first case taken up was that of Joseph Elmer vs. John Stansbury, jr., an action to recover $500 dam- ages for injuries sustained by reason of the alleged negligent driving of a motor car.. This is a jury case, and will likely take considerable time. There were two other civil cases on " At the Grand. A pleasing mixture of high-tone photoplays and refined vaudeville put the big crowd into spasms of de- light at the Grand last evening. Dorothy Green and Clifford Bruce ap- peared in the feature picture, "The Devil at His Elbow," a thrilling story taken on board a big steamer at sea, and also on a submarine. Other films were a three-reel Universal fea- ture, "The Voice of the Tempter," a rib-tickling one-reeler, "The Inspect- or's Double," and the ever welcome Pathe News. On the vaudeville bill, Miss Phyllis Devlin, Kingston's fav- orite young vocal entertainer, enrap- tured the audience with the follow- Ling: "Isle of Dream," "Every Little While," an English number, and by special request, "Long, Long Trail." Boule and Druar presented a singing and pianologue speciality. Among i'their songs were, "The Toreador," | *"Carmena," and a character number written specially for this act by Gogd- frey O'Hara. This programme will be repeated to-morrow afternoon and evening. To-night, "Merry Wives of Windsor" Kingston will welcome to-night at the Grand Opera House Thomas A. Wise in "The Merry Wives of Wind- sor," with his co-stars Constance Collier, as Mistress Ford, and Isabel Irving as Mistress Page. Mr, W.se will appear as Falstaff, a part in which his fame is now secure for all { time. | While Miss Collier and Miss Irving | will receive a royal welcome, as be- fits their distinction, Tom Wise willl | receive a human one. He is well | known here professionally and will | be for the rest of his life in the hearts of all who have come in eon- tact with him, his wonderful dispo- gition, his amiability and his true manhood, At the Strand. Capacity business and hundfeds turned away at eight o'clock was the order of things at the Strand last evening. Lillian Gish was seen to advantage in the latest five part Tri- angle photoplay, "Diana of The Follies," a play of domestic life and the sixty-seven gowns worn by the women are marvellous and interest in them 'is only surpassed by the ex- cellence of the production. Charley Chaplin in "Police," and" two part Keystone comedy, "She Loved a Sail- or,"" are two of the best comedies ever seen in Kingston in some time. Jack Harris in a musical and comedy turn completed a well balanced pro- gramme of vaudeville and pictures that will be shown again to-day and Wednesday. At Griffin's, A very large and highlg pleased audience attended at Griffin's last evening to witness the second epi- sode of "The Crimson Stain Mys- tery," the wonderful serial that has them all going with its sensational climaxs and thrilling situations. There is something deing every second. This remarkable serial is creating a greater degree of interest among the patrons of the sereen drama than any serial photoplay that has even been produced. These popular stars, Maurice Costella and Ethel Grandin, add materially to the interest and hold the attention of Lhe audience from start to finish. The feature picture is a Lasky production of unusual merit, entitled "Each Pearl a Tear," with the well-known star, Fanny Ward, in the principal role. The vaudeville consists of a team of very clever colored singing and dancing comedians, a D ls comedy letes an even- ing of real entertainment. The day and Wednesday. Stephen Leacock's New Book.
