LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Army canteen.

Mir. Editor: In. I think. your issue of Friday I noticed thos heading CThe Army Canteen). It says the effort for its restoration received a substantial indorsement when Major General Wood spoke In its favor. Further down the truth is stated that 1t Is the acutual operation of the canteen or its abolishment, which should determine legislation concerning 1t. Continuing, the writer says that prominent army officials who have seen the operation under both conditions believe that the canteen under the restrictions that ex- isted is far preferable to the dives and drinking places maintained just out side the forts. This writer speaks of commendable things, I think, to divert peoples attention. I may be mistaken, will look into this matter. I under stand that the profit from the army saloon Is divided among the men of the army, as the old whalers used to divide the profits of the voyage. The money was poured on a ladder; what fell through went to the officers and what stuck to the ladder was divided among the crew. A small pile of dol lars piled between a small man and a saloon might hide all the evils of that saloon. I understand that the man at the army saloon Is restricted to buy no more liquor than what money he has by him or what checks he can give on his wages, or rather collateral Most anyone can understand how a man that spent all the pay that was due him so he didn't handle a cent of cash for months could be kept from getting drunk in an outside dive, un- less he was treated or got drunk on the fumes. I hope somebody will look aft CT our army flock question. The shep- herds should know why the wolves are allowed so near the corral. Look in the teeth of the shepherd dogs see if they haven't go so much wool in their mouths that it gives their head a sleepy look. I believe that a sheep killing dog in the fold is worse than a wolf on the outside

Wonderful Pictures of the Balkan War
 Taken Right Of the Frontier.

One of the most sensational pictures that could be imagined, Is the feature at the Breed today. It is 1000 feet of
 film depicting the Balkan war, and photographed directly on the field of battle. All of the various departments connected with the army are shown in the course of their operations, includ- vice ambulance an immense vehicle, equipped with motor of the latest type. and fitted with every modern ccnven- fence. Actual warfare Is seen in pro- gress including the bombardment of Scutari one of the most spectacular events in the war. Several unexpected events are flashed before the photo grapher which he was not slow to grasp, and proved real gems of the as usual. shows some startling hap penings, and events of a national i'm portance, big fires, Balkan war scenes, 1aunchings, etc.
 John Bunny, the original Doctor of Mirth, is seen today in one of his greatest successes. Doctor Bridget. A young son of wealthy parents is suffer ing from ennuf and despite the eff forts of all physicians, remains in this condition.

NEIL o'BRIEN.

No attraction announced by the Davis thea6er management of the current season has stirred up a greater local interest than the engagement of Neil O'Brien. the popular and famous min strel. who with his organization of 70 people will appear Friday evening in an entertainment of minstrelsy de- scribed as quite the most elaborate and biggest production of it's kind the American stage has witnessed since the inception of burnt cork comedy. Nell O'Brien is known to the vast ma jority of theater-goers through his long association with Lew DockStader and other minstrel companies As the prin- cipaI comedian and leading attraction with Dockstader, MT. O'Brien gained much renown and fame and by his sin cere efforts, combined with his bril- liant accomplishments as comedian, he has established a following of ad- mirers who will doubtless give him a cordial welcome at the head of his own organization

Three More Good Acts and Pictures
 at the Auditorium

Vaudeville and pictures combined in just the right quantity of each is what the Auditorium is offering every week. A seven course dinner would be monotonous, to say the least, if each course consisted of ice cream, no mat ter how much you might like this des- sert, and a show that consists of in terminable pictures becomes tiresome The picture programme at the Audito- ium is just sufficient to balance the vaudeville
 The acts for today, three in number, are all equally well balanced and there are no favorites. Archer and Carr are a team who are known in the business as That Versatile Duo, and their bright comedy. good singing, set off with elab- crate wardrobe, make this an act that never yet failed to please.
 George Clay, the man who chalks and talks, offers a fifteen minute act that is without dull moment, his abil- fty as a cartoonist combined with his apt and comic remarks, putting him at the head of his class.
 Francis and De Mar is another act of the classy order. They sing, dance and offer some stunts on a piano which they term "PianoiSms," but best of all they please,
