camera. For two weeks she
worked as an extra" girl.
Success crowned her efforts
and she is now portraying leads

And never once during the
three weeks I have worked in the

Maekaye is a dramatist. He
has written many good plays, but
he did the unusual thing recent
ly when he looked beyond the
"gauds and trappings" Of the
stage and saw some of the needs
of some of our new citizens.
So he wrote pageant which
tells in dramatic way the mean

seems to have changed her sex, is
represented by a man and Ameri-

ITALIANS TAKE SOME TERRITORY
 LONG CONVEYED
Now Dominate IsonZo River Mouth, and Three Passes
 on the Frontier.

Rome, May 2S.-The mouth of Ison- 20, long coveted by Italy as a conces- sion from Austria, as the Italian boundary and one of the prizes of the Italo-Austro phase of the Euro- pean conflict, is practically in pos session of King Victor's forces.
 By the occupation of Grade, not on- ly do the Italians dominate the Ison- 20 river mouth, but they have advanc- ed by huge stride toward the pos session of the Panzano gulf, key to the mastery of the railroad communi- cations between Trieste and Menfal- cone.
 Meanwhile, rapid advances have been made in the occupation by Gen. eral Cordona's forces, of the most important Alpine points. Three of the most important mountain passes have been taken. These are the Guida Carrie, chain of the Lessina; the Sugana valley and the Carnio Alps Besides Grade, on the eastern front, 14 other villages have been taken.
 Although the ItaloGerman diplo- matic relations have been broken off, war has not yet been declared. So far the presence of Germans on the Italo-Austrian frontier has not been confirmed.

SMEAD POWELL CF CAMDEN: MAY ENTER
 GOVERNORS RACE
Quachita Lawyer May Cam paign on Honest Primary
 Law" Platform.

Little Rock, May 2s.-Smead Powell of Camden is likely to become candidate for governor, according to County Judge J. l.. B'Shers of Hope, who was here today. Judge B'Shers says MT. Powell is making a quiet canvass of his section aHd is receiving numerous offers of support
 If Mir. Powell enters the race, it will probably mean that Governor Hays will not be 9 contender. Dur ing Governor Hays campaign, MT. Powell rendered him great assist ance, but since then they have rumOr.
 In the event that MT. Powell be- comes a candidate, the Davis-Kirby senatorial controversy will doubtless come in for more publicity. MT. Powell was one of Judge Kirby's staunchest Supporters, and made a hard fight for the supreme court jurist before the people and before the convention at Pine 'Biurr. It .s not at all improbable that Steve Brundidge will line up with MT. Powell. and the Camden mans cam paign be conducted on a platfrom that will demand the enactment of the honest primary measure, the de- feat of which is charged to Governor Hays. Smead, Kirby, Brunddge and their friends believe political history would be different had the proposed measure been in operation in several primaries in recent years.

Conquest by Kindness, Is Presidents Way to Solve
 Mexican Situation.
ISSUES APPEAL TO
 AMERICAN PEOPLE
Petitions for Contributions to Relieve Suffering of Starving People, Believ. ing That Gratitude Will Bring
 About Peace.

Washington, May 2S.-President Wilson today issued an appeal to the general public to relieve the genera, suffering and distress in Mexico caused by famine conditions.
 Ccinc:dent with the issuance of the presidents appeal, an authoritative announcement was made at the white house that the president may in few days issue a statement "On the present situation in Mexico"
 In the public action of the presi dent and his promised statement friends close to him see the import ant purpose of solving the whole Mexican situation by winning the hearts of the people of Mexico by generous help.
 A new policy of conquest by kind ness, it is said, is to be substituted for the old policy "watchful wait ing"
 It is believed if President Wilson succeeds in getting into Mexico tha enormous amount of food that will be necessary and avoid it being com mandeered by Irresponsible leaders, there will be pro4American re-ac- tion throughout that revolution-rid- den land.
 The great gratitude now being manifested toward the government of the United States and its peopie by the rulers and the starving mill lions of Belgium and Poland has led the administration to hope that a similar feeling of friendship may bo' created in Mexico by a similar serv- ice.
 If such "a feeling can be created the administrator is inclined to be- lieve that an understanding may be reached between the United States and the warning factions in Mexico, which will result in the restoration of peace and order.
 State department officials are be- lieved to be annoyed by the acts Of General Villa, who seeks to force foreign owners of mines in Durango to pay their employees in Mexican gold or silver, or American gold, under penalty of confiscation. The state department protested some days ago against this order, but General Villa has not yielded.
 Acts of this kind and the retaxa- tion by Carranza of cities in the west have aroused the British gov ernment and other government to protest to the state department.
