THAT EXTRA FIVE CENTS
When you must pay five cents ex
tra to go to a picture house in Alaska,
do you imagine it helps the profits
of.,the proprietor? It does not. There
is a tax of one cent on every 10 cents
that a theatrt takes in on its tickets
' sales, which means 3c of that 5c.
There is a tax on each reel of film
used per night. For instance tonight
is a 8-reeler “Ramona” which will
amount to 1-2 cent per each adult at
tending. Then there is a big raise
in film rentals with extra charges j
for advertising matter, etc. And a |
theatre must get 25 cents to be able
to pay salaries, film rent, light, heat,
house rent, federal licenses and the
other expenses.

LONDON, Nov. 21.—Germany must
not bo hindered by “pusillanimous
scruples' in taking what she wants for
the establishment of a colonial em
pire in America and elsewhere over
seas, declares the “program” of the
German colonial society as translated
by the British African society. The
German society believe the treaty of
peace should provide such an empire
for Germany in South America.
The German colonial society has
250 branches in Germany, and is
headed by W. S. Solf, the German col
onial secretary, the Duke of Mecklen
burg, and Dr. Dernburg. It’s "pro
gram” fs a kind of colonial creed for
the German empire. It demands that
any peace settlement must, above all,
provide Germany with adequate ter
ritories capable of white colonization.
The three main points are:
“First, an adequate outlet for Ger
man emigration and German white
industrial activity; second, stepping
stones across the Atlantic and Indian
oceans, to the New Germany over
seas; third, the restoration of Ger
many’s tropical and subtropical col
onies.” One of the sub-sections also
demands “suitable strategic points in
the Pacific.”
The preamble says: 'mxtra-Bur
opean and £plonial possessions are
indispensable, whether regarded ethn
ically, politically, economically, or
ethically. The German people de
sire to be, as heretofore, a world
directing people, with the German
empire as a great power.
“A colonial empire essentially Afri
can should not suffice us. Besides
a fleet, the military and economic
security of our foreign and colonial
territory requires the possession of
strategic points, notably a sufficient
number of coaling stations, submarine
cables and telegraphs, and fortifica
tions are required.
“The available coaling and cable
stations on the route to South Ameri
ca and the African colonies are the
Portugese Canary islands, the Portu
gese Cape Verde islands, the Portu
gese Tslands in the bights of West
Africa, British St. Helena, and the
British West Indies, protecting $re
route to Panama and South America.
It is noted that the demands out
lined in this respect cover almost ex
clusively territories which have never
been under German control, and
which, in order to meet this program,
must spell changes of sovereiignty on
a very large scale. But, explains the
program, "the great needs of Germany
and her allies require the possession
of a great colonial empire, and it
means the not being hindered by pus
illanimous scruples, the more so be
cause a favorable opportunity will
not recur for many a long day.”
WOOL FURNISHED
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Nov. 21.—Swedish army
officials were accused of conspiring to
furnish millions of dollars’ worth of
wool to Germany, in the course cf an
action in the Prize Court here re
cently.
The case concerned a shipment of
1500 bales of wool, consigned to the
Swedish army, but destined, accord
ing to the attorney general, for a Ger
man firm in Leipzig. The shipment is
valued at $700,000, being only one of
several seized enroute from the Ar
gentine Republic.
Intercepted documents, produced in
court, showed that the wool was not
Intended to remain in Sweden. That
the Swedish army had no intention
of using the wool was indicated, it
was reported, by the fact that its rep
resentatives made no appearance in
the court and put in no claim to the
cargo.
It was stated in court that the
British authorities had in the past, al
lowed several shipments of wool sim
ilarly consigned to the Swedish army
m --
administration to pass, in the confi-f
dence that the official nature of thej
consignees rendered it possible to ac-'
cept their assurance.
“Is this* a case where the wool was
consigned 4e the army administration
without its knowledge,” asked the pre
siding judge,v “or is it a case where
some unauthorized person used the
name of the department?”
The attorney general replied, “The
court will be able to judge of the
practicability of anyone using the
name of an official department with
out some official in authority becom
ing aware of the fact. The intercept
ed letters show that this is a part of
a very bad business, a deliberate
scheme to pass wool into Germany at
a moment when Germany is suffering
from a great scarcity of that neces
sary commodity for war purposes.”
The presiding judge, in giving his
verdict, condemning the entire ship
ment as a lawful prize, said: "The
intercepted documents show that the
wool was intended for Germany. How
it came about that the name of a
neutral government was used by the
real consignee we do not know, and
it is not for us to make observations
in the matter. We can only express
our surprise that the repute of a neu
tral government has been employed
to get obsolute contraband into Ger
many. We find that the destination
of the goods was Leipzig, and they
are condemned as contraband destin
ed for the enemy.”
