BRONCHO BILLY AT
THE THEATORIUM

Since the inception of the motion
pictures there has never been any
more popular cowboy actor than G.
NJ. Anderson, better known as "Bron-
cho Billy" of the 'Essanay'' Co. Mr..
Anderson has always assumed cowboy
roles and has met with wonderful
success. He is known and loved by
as many moving picture fans as any
actor who has ever appeared in the
silent drama" Today he will be seen
at the Theatorium in a Apart produc-
tion "The Good For Nothing" and
appears at his best. This house will
no doubt put out the S. r. o. sign at
all shows today as all lovers of "Bron-
cho Billy" will want to see him in
this, his very best picture up to date.

this portion of the German army must
fall back to another defensive line.
The French official report Wednes-
day said the action continues to de-
velop to the northward, so that the
French left must be pushing toward
Cambria, as yesterday it was in
the neighborhood of Albert.
Even further north than this the
French cavalry is operating and last
week a German force which was
sent to Orchies, sixteen miles south
east of Lille, to punish frantireurs
for an alleged attack on a German
hospital at that place, met with
superior forces and had to fall back.
The Germans, too, admit they have
been unable to arrest the French
advance against their right, and
also that the allies have advanced
on their right front. Indeed, there
seems to be some agreement in the
official reports of the belligerents
on the events in this part of the
battlefield.
The German reports refer to an ad-
vance Of the allies while the French
communication says a vigorous at
tack made by the Germans on Tracy
lie Mont, northeast OF the Forest of
Aigue, was repulsed with heavy loss
es. These reports may refer to diff
ferent events, but they agree that
the advantage is with the allies.
In the center from Rheims to the
Meuse the allies are said to be still
waiting for the outcome of the fight
ing on the wings, as there has been
a lull in the battle there.
Between the Argonne and the Me-
use and again in Woevre there has
been more severe fighting. The
French claim to have made slight
progress and to have advanced at

A Slight Miscalculation.

Yesterday afternoon an inyidual
approached a friend and asked him
to go on his bond for his appear
ance in the city court this morning,
stating that he was going to whip
a certain party in the city, and ex-
pected to pay for the same. The
friend told him that there was moth
ing doing, under the circumstances,
and the belligerent party then pro-
claimed that he was going to do
the whipping anyway and started
on the warpath.
1t was not long before he returned,
accompanied by a stalwart officer,
and he was about as bloody a prop
osition, not to be seriously nurt, as
has graced the streets of the city
for some time.
1t seems that the party Of the sec
ond part objected to the whipping,
but instead did some artistic work
upon the countenance of the war
rior himself, with the result that he
was somewhat disfigured. AS soon
as he Is able to be out Of bed again
the damaged party will be asked to
contribute the usual amount in the
city court, which will be no balm
for his yelling wounds.

No. 88-The Pan-American Union.

Architectural beauty. marvelously en-
HANGED by exquisite finish of detail. is
SO ingeniously combined with every
modern utilitarian convenience in the
building of the Pan-American Union in
Washington that this structure is
worthily recognized as one of the great
sights of the world.
1t has no adventurous aid OF age or
history, for the building Is as bright
and new as If it were only a day old
instead of seven years. And yet, de-
spite its youth, it has a historical in
terest, but its history, unlike that of all
other buildings frequented by sight
seers, Is history projected into the
future and not a series of more or less
pleasant lies about what has happened
in the past.
Accidentally. the building com
bines the best features of the best taste
of both North and South America. Its
central feature is patio. or central
courtyard, in which a fountain plays
and where palms and other tropical
trees afford shelter for cockatoos and
parrakeets. When winter comes this
bit of Imported Latin America is pro-
tected by a glass roof which slides over
the patio.
Beautiful is the patio with it's green
palms; beautiful is the hall of stand
ards with the vari-colored flags of the
twenty-one American republics; beauti-
full is the great hall of the Americas.
where the pure white Corinthian deco
rations are relieved only by the in
scription in each corner of the sig
nificant word, PAX"
But most interesting and significant
of all is the boardroom. In this room
there is a large oval table, where the
board of governors of the Pan-Ameri-
can Union meets once a month. At the
head of the table sits the Secretary of
State of the United States of America.
Around it sit representatives of the
other twenty republics. 1t is the only
room in the world in which represent
atives of so many independent nations
regularly meet for the avowed purpose
of conserving peace and advancing the
cause of civilization.
