MANY APPLICATIONS
 SHORT ID FILL THE
 RANKS 0F REGULARS
Sixteen Hundred Vacancies in Army--Only Nine Hundred Civilians and Enlisted Men Take Examinations.
ley Review Leased Wirel

DOUGLAS. Aug. 30.-That the ef- fort to recruit the depleted ranks of second lieutenants in the regular ar my by competitive examinations a. mong civilians and enlisted men has not been the success that was anti cipated is proven by the small num- Der of men who are taking the exam nations now in progress at Camp Harry J. Jones.
 Only 15 men were on hand when the examinations began ten days ago and seven of them have dropped out because of failure to meet the physi- cal requirements. Douglas is only one of many places where the eXami- nations are being held, but that the same conditions prevail elsewhere is seen by the fact that while there are 16OO positions to be filled only 900 men started to take the examination. About 300 Of them have been disqual- fled because of physical disability leaving 1000 positions still unified in case all of the applicants pass, which is doubtful.
 This morning the applicants took the test in practical drill regulations for infantry, and this afternoon for artillery and cavalry applicants, five in number, will take the riding tests, which will end the examinations. They have been held before a special board. headed by Maj. T. E. Smith, Of the Thirty-fifth Infantry.
 It will probably be two or three months before the applicants will know their fates, as the papers must go to Fort Leavenworth to be graded. Another examination will be held on January 29 and all applications must be in by the last of December.

JACK BARRYMORE IS
 ROYAL ATTRACTION
''The Lost Bridegroom" Is the Name of Paramount Or
 fering at Theatre.

The incOmparable Jack Barrymore has played many roles on the screen including princes, dictators. gentle men of extremely elegant leisure and other interesting types but he has never before played crook. The re rarkable characterization he has re served for his latest Famous Players Paramount Picture "The Bridegroom" which is the attraction at the Royal today and tomorrow. Of course Barry more is not a bona fide crook in the picture He has been hit on the head by two thugs while returning from his bachelor dinner on the eve of his wedding to Dorothy Hardin, and has completely lost his memory as a re- suit of the blow.
 After falling off dock upon which he elects to take an imprOmptu nap, Bertie-for that is the alias under which Barrymore travels in this film stumbles into a saloon which is the headquarters for an assorted gang Of thieves, hold-up experts and card sharps. Bertie's entrance into this hitherto uneXplored stratum of society is nothing if not picturesque. His .assailanJs stole his overcoat, dress coat and waistCoat, but left his top hat. So our hero enters the saloon clad in dress trousers. the upper DOT ton of his B. V. D's and his top hat, carrying his white shirt over his arm. having removed that rJ dry it after his fall into the river.
 The habitues of the saloon see great possibilities in Bertie as gentleman burglar and they assign him to the job of burglins his own hancee's home without in the least suspecting his identity. When Bertie and his pals reach the Hardin home things be- gin Q mapped with startling rapidiiy. however. Is the concrete incident in which Bertie and one Of the burglars.
 locked in a death grip, plunge down Ia flight or stairs eighteen steps in height
 lt is only an incident in the picture. but it is one of the most thrilling mo- nents that was ever flashed on the screen.
 "Tne lost Bridegroom has moro real thrills than any picture in which Barrymore has eyer appeared, but is by no means lacking in humor, for which he has become justly celebrated. The picture was directed for the Famous Players company by James Kirkwood. June Dale, Hardie Kirk and. Edward Strugis and others oi equal merit in support Of Barrymore.

WILLIAM s. HART IN THE ARYAN" IS SAID
 BEST OF HIS WORKS
Famous and Popular Bad Man" of the Films at the Orpheun Theatre, Is Ac- companied by ArbuCkle.

William S. Hart, the acknowledged peer of Western character portrayers. will be seen in another gripping Fri angle dramas today apd tomorrow at the Orpheum, when he is presented by Thomas II. Ince as the star Ct
 The Aryan," an original story by C.. Gardner Sullivan. This, it is declared. is one of the most tensely compelling narratives ever penned by the prolific and versatile author and suits to a nicety the capabilities of the screens s popular bad man."
 loft written in letters of blood; deep-carVed in the face of destiny. that all men may read, runs the code of the Aryan race: Our women shall be guarded And a man Of the whiJe-skinned race may forget much friends, duty, honor, but this he will not, he cannot forget" Such is the text of the theme chosen by Sullivan in preparing this latest Triangle story for Hart.
 Hart plays the part of a rugged man of the desert, who, having been fieeced of his fortune by the degraded women of a lawless town, turns against the feminine sex. He becomes the ruler of renegades in a self-3uiit mining camp, utterly despising women for ensuing years, until he is awakened to the code of his race by q gentle, fearless girl, who trusts him.
 The play is unusual in other things besides it's theme. For instance, it mas no romantic love interest at all. The mans affection for the girl is too fine a thing to touch his sense. Yearn- ing for so exquisite a companion, he yet turns away in pure selfishness, Knowing himself unworthy.
 The Aryan" was produced, almost in its entirity, on the sands of the Mojave Desert in California, where the blistering sun is almost unbear- able. For three weeks Hart and his camped on this barren tract, filming the story. Other scenes were made in the mountains of knoxville.
 HaTt's rival for honors in this pro ductiOn is Bessie Love, one of the finds of the year in flmdom, wL1 interpret5 the role of the sirl who converts the iron-fsted woman-hater Others in the cast are Louise Glaum, Charles K. French, Gertrude Claire, Herschel Mayall and Swallow, the Indian actor.
 Another feature on toiay's program at the Orpheum will be Roscoe Ar. buckle in The Other Woman. Fatty is too well known to comment on his work and tonight's Keystone comedy is certain to see many of it's admirers present in the audience.

News Items From Aloha.

On the afternoon of March II, SUN.
merfeld school came to Aloha for 9
joint contest in spelling and baseball.
The words for the contest were taken
from group one of the list sent out by
the State Department of Education.
The pupils of both schools showed the
usual alertness occasioned by joint
contest Many enthusiastic yells were
given by the contesting parties before
spelling began. Summerfield stood her
ground lik one determined to win, but
she had met just as determined bunch,
and after prolonged contest the lau-
rels went to Aloha. After the spelling
Summerfeld sang two songs which
were greatly enjoyed by all. They
sang with the dizziness of people well
instructed.
Miss ODER, the Summerfield teacher
rendered a selection entitled, IAN
Irish Counting" Her Irish dialect was
faultless and many were the peals of
laughter that interrupted her recital.
With many blood curdling yells the
opposing schools began their first match
baseball game of the season. The
teams were unequally matched and the
game came to a close with another de-
feat for the visitors. The score stood:
Aloha 20 and Summerfield l. Every
body had good time, and we parted
feeling that it was an afternoon well
spent. We wish for an early opportun-
ity to return the visit.
The pipe is being pulled from the oil
well near this place. 1t will be used

Cupid Gets His Affairs in a Tangle.

| S~pAu ucss AAs AuaiHS In q angie.
Little Dan Cupid had trouble
in a nearby town this week when
the darts from his bow failed to
fly true to the mark, and as a re.
suit a love-sick youth is seeking
redress from his fiiancee through
the courts. The story goes that
a young man from one of our
southern States wooed and
thought he had won a certain
pretty Louisiana girl. Accord
ingly he obtained a marriage Ii
cense, hied himself to the home
of the young lady, and was &C.
companied by her to Colfax,
where the services of the magis-
trate had already been secured
to tie the matrimonial knot. Gu
pid's darts having failed to sink
deep enough, however, the young
lady demurred and refused to
have the ceremony performed.
After much parleying the young
lady returned home. Later the
darts from Cupid's little bow
seemed to have the desired effect,
he was notified of her change of
heart, and the young man again
hied himself to her home. In the
mean time she changed her mind
by the time he arrived and again
baked at the ceremony. At this
stage of affairs the young man
became somewhat exasperated.
and instead of pouring out words
OF love and entertainment he gave
his lady love piece of his mind,
which is said to have been couch
ed in the choice words usually
employed by a sailor. Taking
the train to Colfax the young
man sought a local attorney, who
listened to his tale of woe and re-
fused to be engaged as counsel
in a suit for breach Of promise.
Later he is said to have secured
the services of an Alexandria at
torney, and will seek to recover
damages sufficient to heal his
broken heart and wounded feel
ings.
