EDGAR SELWyN
IN THE "ARAB''
A PERTURBATION OF MIR. SELL
WYN'S OWN FAMOUS DRAMA
PRODUCED UNDER DIRECTION
OF CECIL B. DEMILLE.
AT THE GRAND SATURDAY MAT
INEE AND NIGHT.

"The Arab, in the perturbation of
which Edgar Selwyn makes his first
photodramatic appearance under the
management of the Jesse L. Lasky
Feature Play Co., is founded on the
play of the same name by Mr.. Selwyn
himself in which this distinguished
star-author-manager made one of his
greatest New York personal hits.
"The Arab" has it's scenes laid in
Syria and is the extraordinary love
story of Jamil, the daring son of a
desert Sheik, and Mary Hilbert, the
daughter of an American missionary,
who is loved not only by the bold de-
sert Prince but by the evil Turkish
i Governor of the district. The main
events of the drama center around a
whole sale Christian massacre which
has been ordered by the Sultan and
from which Jamil saves Mary and he1
father as well as the pupils of the
school. Even though he is suspected
by Mary, he invades the very palace
of the Governor and saves her from
a fate worse to a Western woman
than death itself.
In addition to Mr.. Selwyn, the cast
includes Theodore Roberts, Horace, B
Carpenter, Milton Brown, Billy Elmer
Sydney Deane, Gertrude Robinson
Park Jones and Raymond Hatton
The production is the most specta
cular ever made by the Lasky com

CONVICTED FOR
SELLING LIQUOR
BOB WEBB, YOUNG NEGRO FROM
WATER VALLEY, FOUND GULL
TY OF BooTLEGGING.

Bob Webb, negro boy of about
fifteen years of age, was convicted in
the county criminal court this morn
ing of selling liquor without a license
at Water Valley in the northwestern
section of the county. There we're
several very damaging witnesses
against him, who stated that they
had bought whisky from him.
Judge Mcknight has not yet fixed
the penalty or assessed the fine in
the case. 1t is thought that the ooy
will probably be sent to the reforma.
tory at Nashville, as he was hardly
old enough to know of the criminal
nature of his acts. Also, it is init
mated, that there were some other
and older negroes in the community
who we're using the boy as a cats
paw for the furtherance Of their
schemes.

LONDON, Jan. 14.-Battles, large
and small, all having an important
bearing on the situation, are raging
at widely separated points in Europe
and Asia.
/ The Turks having occupied the
Prussian town of Tabriz, which is a
Russian sphere of influence, are bat
Ting with the Russians in the Cauca-
sus and are reported to be making
preparations to invade Egypt.
The Russians have resumed the Of
fensive In East Prussia, while the
: Germans continue to attack them in
, Poland, and they again are trying to
cross the Nida river in Southern Po-
land, held by the Austrians.
| The battle creating the greatest in
terest is that in the Alsace valley,
northeast of scissors, where the
French have been attacking the Ger
man entertainments for week.
They took important positions Friday
and again Sunday, but the Germans,
bringing up reinforcements, recover
ed some of the lost ground. Other
wise the unfavorable weather has
compelled the Germans and allies to
confine themselves to artillery en-
gagements.
Renewed Russian activity in East
Prussia indicates that the freezing
over of the Mazurian lakes has occur
red at last, for otherwise it would be
impossible for troops to advance
through the narrow defles defended
by the Germans.
The Russians claim also to have
made further advance southwest of
Rawa, another indication that they
contemplate repetition of their at
tempt at an invasion of East Prussia
from the east and south, despite the
fact that repeated German attacks
south of the lower Vistula in Poland
are keeping them fairly busy. These
attacks are being made at different
points, and, according to the Russian
official statements, are easily repealed.

WOULD DESTROY HOMES
FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL
RAPS WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Tells Women Their Higher Qualities
Should Not Be Thrown Aside for
Scramble in Politics.

NEW YORK.-George w. Wicker
sham, formerly attorney general Of
the United States, in an address at a
meeting of anti-suffragists here said
that if women serve on juries or in
the militia or assume the other man
fold obligations of citizenship the
homes will be broken up, for there
will be no one to care for the chill
dren.'
1T becomes a question: he said,
whether the home shall make way
for the institution, whether the chv-
airy, the recognition of the higher
qualities of women shall be thrown
aside in favor of larger community
in which men and women shall COM
pete in a scramble for position one
above the other"
Mr.. Wickersham said there had
been a great change in the attitude
of men in this state toward woman
suffrage in the last few weeks and
that many who had been apathet1c
now realized that it was their duty
to work for the defeat of the meas
ure.
Every woman has the ear of at
least one man. he said, land ii she
is opposed to suffrage it is her duty
to convince him and make him go
forth to the polls. AS a general
thing, men will do just what women
ask them to-
