Kntrance at This Time I'seless.
LONDON', April 5.—Reports from
Amsterdam stale that the German
press is devoting columns to the abuse
ol' President Wilson and his message
to Congress. The newspapers declare
that America’s lust for gold is driving
her into the war, and while the en
trance of the United States may tem
porarily strengthen the allies, Ger
many will arise to the occasion and
stupefy ihe Americans. Great events
are impending, according to these ar
ticles, and with England starving,
chaos in Russia, the entrance of the
United States into the struggle conies
too late to change the decision of the
war.

KMI'RKSH TONIGHT
Theda Bara in a photoplay version
of "Carmen” will be shown at the Em
press Theatre tonight. Also a com
edy “Cross Swords and Love."
Carmen, the beautiful Spanish gyp
sy. spirit of the coquetry incarnate,
lives but to conquer the hearts of
men. Don Jose, a young pflicer of the
Spanish army, falls a victim of her
fascinations. At her behest he for
sakes his duty, and at last, driven by
insane jealousy, he commits murder
for her sake. He flees from justice
and takes refuge with a band of out
laws in the mountains. Having ac
complished his ruin, the heartless
Carmen tunrs to fresh conquests. The
handsome Lucas, foremost toreador
of Spain, takes her fancy, and she
sets about his subjugation. She hac
reckoned without Jose, however. In
stead of taking his dismissal calmly,
the disgraced officer lies in wait for
his false love and in a manner typi
cally Spanish wreaks terrible ven
geance.
