WHEN "A TIPS NOT A TIP.

ACCURACY.

When nine passengers came ashore
from the captured British liner, Ap-
pam, they had nine different stories
to tell of the capture of the ship by
a German sea raider. That raider
was a gunboat, a cruiser, an armed
passenger ship, a converted fruit
steamer and one or two other types
of craft-according to which witness
told the story. They disagreed mar
velously about essentials and about
details. Nobody could get, from their
testimony, any clear notion of what
had happened.
Such conflicting evidence from wit
nesses free of all intent to deceive
is an old story with lawyers, judges
and newspaper men. 1t moves the
New York Times to remark that in
spite Of the odious charge of "inac-
curacy" that is so often made against
the newspapers, they are incompar-
ably more accurate than the lndlVld-
ual witnesses upon whom they have
to depend for their facts.
The trained reporter seldom trusts
any single person for his data in ali
important matter. He knows how
fallible the human senses are, ana
how the imagination distorts facts in
spite of the most painstaking effor;
to get them straight. And so, like
the experienced judge, he gathers his
facts from as many minds as possible,
checking up error against error, and
estimating the probable degree of cor
rectness of any particular narrative.
And then, of course, every witness
cries out against the inaccuracy of
the resulting account-because his
own version is not followed blindly.

ExCElS IN EXCELLENCE ANY
CAST so FAR SEEN IN
PICTURES.

Headed by William Farnum, the
surprising 100000 star lured from
the silent stage by William Fox to
head a number of notable feature re.
leases, the cast which is engaged in
the presentation of "A Soldiers Oath"
is in itself exceptional; as usually pro-
ducers of motion pictures content
themselves by placing one big name
at the head of production and let
ting "fllers" do the rest. Not SO with
William Fox however:-this indefati-
gable manufacturer of the best the
market affords upon the screen is not
satisfied until he has assured himself
of securing the finest of photoplays-
the screen drama de luxe; until he
has surrounded his star with a cast
fully capable of bringing out the fin
est points and dramatic action of the
photoplay to be made.
In "a Soldiers OATH" which is from
the pen of Daniel Roosevelt, a fighting
relative of Bwomo Tumbo, Mr.. Fox
has been particularly careful person
ally to select an aggregation of actors
and actresses capable of enhancing
the lights and shades Of this delight.
full and thrilling romantic drama of
the screen. Mr.. Roosevelt himself
passed up the tests of the artists Sc
lected by Mr.. Fox and before the cast
was completed to the satisfaction Of
both, there were many wordy wars:
which, however, all made in the long
run for the production of perfectly
balanced performance.
Beside Mr. Farnum in his mastery

pear that dainty and beloved heroine
of the shadow stage, Miss Dorothy

ANOTHER NATIONAL PARK.

1t seems strange that, while Con.

al parks in the last few years, it has
done nothing about the Grand Canyon
of Arizona. That wonderful region,
considered by SO many travellers as
the greatest scenic attraction of
North America, is still in private
hands.
Fortunately, private exploitation
has as yet done nothing to spoil it..
There is compelling grandeur about
that masterpiece OF nature that seems
to drive the pettiness out of mems
hearts and forbid vandalism or com.
mercialism. And yet, as long as the
region is not definitely and officially
protected by the power of the United
States government, as Yellowstone
Park is, there is always the danger
that those wonderful rock walls may
be defaced with whiskey and cigar

SNOWBOUND TOWNS
APPEAL FOR AID
Several Towns Along 500 Wheat

Short of Fuel.

Numerous requests have been re-
ceived during the past few days at

part of the state. asking for aid.
Any number OF towns are snow

week
Kramer on the Wheat line, has had
no freight service for 81 days, and
has been without mail for II days. All
efforts of the railroad companies to
open their lines, and re-establish train
service have proved frntile. Both the
Grea. Northe IN and 500 lines have
been doing all in their power to keep
their lines open but have found the
task an impossible one. Several plows
have been put out of commission, and
number are stuck in snow drifts,
in such a manner that it is practically
impossible to eXtricate them.
Railroad officials state that in some
places the drifts are Is feet high, and
that for once they are unable to COM
bat the snow and keep their lines
open The railroad commission has
been pounding the railroad officials on
the back but realize that they are eX'
erting every effort to get coal into
the snowbound towns. ..
The severe storm abated this week,
and the officials believe that it will
only be a matter OF a few days before
they have their lines open and trains
operating on schedule.

unmoved by his appeals.
