MEN WANTED
 FUR MILITIA
Forty More Members Need ed by Phoenix Companies for Federal Inspection on January New Sergeant Instructor Arrives

With barely a month in which to get into shape for the federal inspection upon which depends the maintenance of the state militia, and needing forty men in the Phoenix companies alone, officers of the Arizona National Guard are facing a situation which is prob ably as serious as any that has vet arisen. Not even last June, when the War department ordered the mastering out of three companies. and threatened the existence of five others, were con ditions more critical.
 Lack of interest on the part of many members, failure to attend drill, and a general attitude of apathy on the part of business men and the public gen erally are said to be responsible for conditions that are now causing deep concern to officers of the local organi- cations.
 A six months suspension of the de- partments order to disband Arizona companies failing to comply with reg ulatlons was secured only after stren- uous effort on the part of commercial organizations and business men throughout the state and has been talk en advantage of generally by the or ganizations throughout the state, with the result that most of the companies are in better shape than they were last June when the order was issued In Morenci twenty new members have been added to Company M in the last two weeks, and other companies out side of Phoenix are also reporting in creasing interest.
 To assist the Acknowledgements in getting the guard into shape, Sergeant Morton L. Landreth, of the 21st United States infantry has been assigned to ihe post of sergeant instructor of the Arizona National Guard, and is now aI- ready entered upon his new duties, be- Ing in charge Of the instruction work at Mesa

MAUDE FEALY IN MOTHS
 IS GREAT ATTRACTION

The story of Moths" the great Mutual feature film that is the lead ing attraction at the Lion theater to- day, IS laid in European nigh society, in which love and intrigue are pretty well mixed. The great attraction of the film, aside from that it is a great storN comes from the fact that Maude fealy takes the leading role and shows great ability as an actress. The film will run for today only. The story is as follows:
 Lady Dolly Nanderdecken was young widow who had lived in Paris for many years. enjoying the freedom from the conventional English life under which she had been brought up Her only child, daughter, was brought up by her dead husbands mother, the Duchess of Null The gay little butterfly was forcibly re- minded of the fact that she was the mother of @ grown daughter when beautiful young girl arrived at the hotel. We're, for that was the girls name, had expected an affectionate welcome from her parent, but she was bitterly disappointed. Lady Dolly re- scented the girls very presence which seemed to add years to her own age and determined to marry her off at once.
 Correze, celebrated singer, fell in love with We're, and the latter re- turned his affection. But Prince Ser gius Zouroff, a wealthy but notorious Russian, also wished to marry her, and worldly Lady Dolly determined that he would wed her daughter She made We're believe that Zouroff had her in his power, and the girl, believ- ing it the only way to save her mother, consented to marry Zouroff, although she hated the man as strongly as she cared for Correze.
 After the marriage, Zouroff soon neglected his wife for the Duchess de Sonnaz, a dashing French woman Finally, We're was compelled to for bid the duchess to enter ner home

 Correze, through all these years, remained faithful to the woman he loved, and when Zouroff publicly used his wife's name insultingly, the chiv- alrous tenor challenged him to a duel. The tenor was shot through the throat, and although his life was spared he could never sing again. We're heard the news in Poland and hastened to his side, nursing him through his ill- ness. Zouroff, enraged at his wife's conduct, secured a divorce and married the Duchess de Sonnaz, leaving We're free to wed the man who had been willing to give up his life for her.
