"The fate of the photoplay hangs
entirely on the director. In fact the

She has stepped off the screen and
out of the public eye to become pill

importance because she has become
a factor of the game. She has I'M

Grace Cunard has been in the
movie game seven years. She began
as an extra in the old Balboa studio

in an occasional picture. In the near
future Universal will release some
films featuring Miss Cunard.
Miss Cunard is one of three women

other two. Miss Cunard has directed
a hundred movie plays of her own

 Creation of the Fee
 The grant to Cabot, conditioned that the captain discover lands where in it might operate. was followed by many others in many forms dealing with the sovereign title in the land. 1 Discovery. essential to the vesting of title in newly acquired lands, was fol- lowed by disposal of the created fee

 Unwritten History
 Be it known from original, au thentic and unquestioned though pri vate sources of information, one morn ing the year 1497, thrifty Harry Tu dor, with a royal slap upon the shoul der of bold John Cabot, commissioned the latter forthwith to proceed to the New World and appropriate therefron all the land not yet parceled out tc Ferdinand of Aragon, Isabella hi. wife, and King John, of Portugal From like sources of authority, alst undisputed, it may be stated that { sy wink was given to Capt.

 Even in this prohibition may be found the future land policy of the United States, for the order runs not only against the settler but against his family and his effects-his prop erty.

 Colonel John arrived and led us to our two cars. At five and in the dark we started. We could have no light, because this train had been fired on two days before. The day before it was so dangerous that no train left.
 In utter darkness our train left the fortress, and as it travelled along, the moon hidden behind clouds, the cnly light being an occasional flash from the engine, we could hear the crack, crack, crack of infantry. Now and then light would appear sud denly in the blacF sky. It looked like a far-distant skyrocket.
 It was shrapnel. They appeared more and more, the crack of the in fantry grew less and less. It sound ed at intervals on the east, the main firing having ceased. The shraDnel grew more and more. Then the shrapnel, like the firing, ceased, and we rolled off into the dark, still night.

 Many Arrested as Spies.
 With unhappy frequency four or five soldiers pass with a poverty stricken, ragged individual in their midst. Sometimes they have two. Often they are boys-very often they are Jews. bearded, clad in long dirty black coat. Barefooted. thin, sad. but untearful women and chii- dren ran alongside, moving in and cut of the merciless traffic always keeping in sight and nearly always in speaking reach of their loved one, being taken to-what?
 For these are suspected spies, or "spion," as they call them. These are dangerous days. It needs but the lying word of an enemy to send a man to his aeath. Time is short. ,n, foe is battering ON the door and deat is reaping his greatest harvest since a voice spake out and said: "I.et there be lignt!"

 The shops are all closed "A rroc- lamation issued by the general advises all shops to be closed. as the break- ing of Hindenburg's line may mean another attack on Przemysl. This bringing down of all iron shutters does not mean much, anyway. Mer- chandise was exhausted in this fort ress weeks ago. Nothing is left that any one wants. much less what one needs. No new stock can be had, as the railroads have only time for sol- diers and arms and the transport of those who have fought and still live barely live.
 They do not relate now the tale of their days and nights and weeks of hell. Perhaps that may come in time. but now their brains are dulled and blunted. The sound of shrapnel whistling in the air, the booming of
