STORY OF
LUCILLE LOVE
SERIES
POPULAR PHoToPLAY WILL BE
SHOWN TONIGHT ONLY AT
BROWNE THEATER

The eighth picture in the Lucllie
Love series will be shown tonight on
ly at the Browne theater The synop-
Sis
No sooner than Lucille hides her
self among the boxes on the wharf
than she hears Loubeques voice. An
officer of the Chinese police is ques-
tioning him concerning the where
abouts of Lucille. Her overt act in
protecting her life against Chinese
woman has been construed as MUIR
der. and she is confronted by this
new danger. Even while Loubeque
is talking with the policeman, he
locks around the corner of the boxes
and sees Lucille. He is impressed by
her forlorn situation and out of sheer
pity for her he throws the policeman
off the trail.
Loubeque then goes aboard the ship,
and it sets sail-not, however, before
Lucille has stolen into the hold and
found hiding place. Again Lou
beque is touched by pity for the girl,
and he sends a sailor into the hold
that he may discover Lucille, and
that she may not want for the neces-
stiles of existence.
The girl is discovered and taken be-
fore the captain. The good old mari
ner takes on an air of mock serious
ness, and ordains that her punish
ment shall consist IN serving as his
cabin boy during the voyage.
The documents, of which Lucille is
in search, are again in the possession
of Loubeque. One day while he is in
his state room, he catches sight of
Lucille spying on him through a port
hole Surmising her purpose, Loube-
quo takes the documents from his
pocket, places them in scarf and
hides the scarf under a cushion. The
face of Lucille disappears from the
porthole. The man now removes the
genuine documents from the scarf and
places a package of blank papers in
their place.
AS result, when Lucille steals into
his stateroom, she falls into Loube-
ques trap. She steals the blank pa
pers, and when she discovers Lou
beque's trick, her anger is only equal
led by her chagrin. But two can play
at the same game. The girl holds pa
pers signed by Loubeque, which mark
him as a smuggler of contraband
arms into China. The international
spy discovers the girl in his stateroom.
He proposes to her that she give him
the papers in exchange for the docu-
ments which will save her fathers
honor. She agrees and each hands
the other a package of blank papers.
1t is still neck to neck race of wits
and cunning until Loubeque makes
threats as to what will transpire when
the ship arrives at San Francisco. Lu
cille appeals to the captain for aid and
describes her adventures to him. The
captain calls Loubeque for an expla
nation of his conduct and to the girls
- "A. -
partly corroborates this; the captain
is not decided in the matter when the
boat arrives at San Francisco De
spite the captains precautions, Lou
beQue's agents press around Lucille
at the gangplank and abduct her. She
is whisked away in taxicab in city
where she has no friends.

General Superintendent DBernardi of

tions in the agricultural sections of the
two states, he says:
with the fine weather that has pre-

vanced with their work than ever before.
Everywhere in our territory the corn is
practically all cribbed and is in the best
possible condition. 1t is dry and is far
above an average crop. Much of the
corn is being marketed, and owing to

the same price as old corn.

Superintendent D'Bernardi is out on his

condition of the road good and business
not unsatisfactory. The movement of
cattle was shut off some on account of

District Court CLERK Fob" Smith now
has official possession and knowledge Of
the Nebraska supreme courts mandate In
the famous insanity fees case, which was
brought and won against Frank A. Broad
well, Smiths predecessor in the office.
The mandate has just been filed In the
office Of the clerk OF the district court.
1t declares that upon careful consider
alton the high court has affirmed the
district courts judgment in favor of the
county to the effect that Broadwel must
put back into the county treasury S., $50. 50
in insanity fees, with interest and costs
since 1910, which makes the total amount
about sll,OOO.
The district court is. therefore, COM
manded. by the supreme court TO issue
execution on the judgment without delay
and carry It. into effect against Broad
we'll and the American Bonding and Trust
company of Baltimore. Upon hearing OF
the receipt of the mandate, County Com
missioner Frank c. Best, as chairman of
the finance committee, said he would I'm
mediately, notify Broadwell and give him
a chance to put back the money. Then II
such is not done, suit win be commenced
on Broadwell's bond.
Although not mentioned In the case,
Clerk Bob Smith Is keenly interested,
for he has two warrants himself. that
represent insanity fees which he claims
belong to him, since he succeeded Broad
well. However, II Is said he Is still hoping
TO avoid the "put-it-back" mandate on
the technicallty that because he ac-
counted for the fees since he went into
office and got his warrants from the
county clerk he can keep the money.

The Days
War NeWS

storms and floods, the enor-
nous loss of life and the strain
OF incessant fighting apparently
have taxed to the limit OF human
endurance the opposing forces
which are facing each other in
the death struggle in Belgium
and northern France. Another
lull has come in the great battle,
which presumably is but the pre-
lude to one more desperate effort.
Todny's reports from the front
indicate that assaults by infantry
and cavalry have been abandoned,
except for minor engagements
and that only the artillery is con-
tinuinE operations with vigor un-
diminished.
The Russian invasion Of Tur-
kish territory from Caucasus has
been halted. The great campaign
of the Russians against the Aus
tro-German armies proceeds with
varying fortunes in different To-
calities. with chief interest now
centering on the new German Of
fensive movement against the
Russian oenters
The French official communi-
cation OF today, after emphasizing
the violent character OF the can
nonading now in progress, mem
tions a few localities in Belgium
aud along the Alsne where Ger
man infantry attacks were made.
These attacks, II is said. we're re-
pulsed.
The fighting along the eastern
boundary of Germany is of diff
ferent character. There Is moth
ing there to correspond with the
endless lines OF trenches which
stretch across France. Movements
of troops are more mobile and the
main battle line is shifting con-
stantly. In France an advance
of a few yards is worthy of men
ton. In Galicia, Russian Poland
and East Prussia, they measure
movements by scores of miles.
Russia admits the truth OF re-
cent Turkish statements that IT, Q
invaders from the north had been
driven back. The Russian ad-
vance guard, It is announced Of
ficially. has been forced to halt
its march on Erzerum, the Tur-
kish town near the eastern end OF

German Strategists Say Feat Excels
Retirement Of British Forces
After Battle of Mons.
RUSSIAN WAR OFFICE RETIcENT
1t Has Little to Say of Effect of
These Movements.
TURKS WIN FIGHT AT EREzoUM
Cars Army Was Halted by n
Superior Force of Heavy
Artillery.

LONDON, Nov. 17.-Contrary to
expectations, the coming of winter
seems to have had more effect on
the operations on the western battle
front than in the east. Here the
Germans are making desperate ef-
forts to divert the Russians from
East Prussia by resuming a vigorous
offensive at two points near the CEN
ter of this long frontier line.
Berlin experts, judging from the
reports reaching London, have been
discussing the German retreat from
Warsaw with great candor. They
declare they are as proud of the skill
with which this movement was ac-
complished as are the English of
their retirement after the battle of
Mons. They admit that the efforts
of the Germans to emulate General
'Stonewall" Jackson's famous flank
ing movement failed of success by a
narrow margin aud only because the
Russians were not caught mapping.
The German people were promptly
informed OF the Withdrawal of their
troops from the Warsaw front, but
they got only meager news OF the
progress OF this retreat until the re-
firing armies, having covered some
think like 100 miles, were in sight
of their own borders.
Germans seem Confident.
The Germans seem confident of a fa-
voreble outcome TO their renewed Of
fensive along the Warthe river, and their
ability to resume the aggressive shows
striklngly the advantage which the pos
session Of strategic railroads gives a
warning power. II is the opinion of Brit
ish observers that the Germans are de-
termined to force tho invaders from East
Prussia, and that they are striking two
blows, one from the north and the other
from the northwest. In the general direc-
tion OF Flock and Kutuo with the OBJ

is reticent regarding the success of these
movements, while Berlin reports them
as progressing favorably.
