Of EMDEN'S
CREW GOT away

It is interesting to remember in
connection with the destruction of the
famous German cruiser Emden at
pictures of the wreck Of which are
shown at the National theater this
week, that all of the Emden's crew
did mot meet death in that sanguine
engagement with the Australian
cruiser Sydney. -. ~ 60, .=z,.-.. 8. i. -
Three officers and 40 men, who
had been sent ashore from the Emden
to seize the cable station, destroy the
electrical stores and eonfiseate such
goods as they needed from the Brit
ish-owned station, were left behind in
the Emden's haste to get to sea and
escape the Sydney. When these men
realized late that evening that the
Emden and their fellows had gone to
"Davy Jones locker they. seized the
only other ship available and sailed
away in the night The vessel was
the crazy old schooner Ayessa, an an
eient relic of the copra trade, whose
keel hung heavy with tropical sea-
weed and with weather-bleached rig
ging as white as dead mans bones.
These 40 men and three officers
went to sea and continued the EN-
den's business for her. They had four
Maxins. carried ashore from the
Emden, and with these they later cap,
tured the British collier Exford
The motion picture of the Emden,
as she lies today at Cocos-Keeling
Island, viii be shown every afternoon
and evening until Friday. In addition
the program contains two high-class
vaudeville turns, another thrilling fea-
ture picture and the tenth episode cf
the laughable Wallingford series
Pest Mason, baritone, sings entertain
ingly a number of old-time ballads,
and Jack La Vier talks nonsense to
the audience, at the same time per-
forming clever tricks on the swinging
trapeze. ....> NJ"

FAITH Must BE
SELF-MADE SAYS
REV. EBERSOLE

"A faith to be worth very much
must be built up, must be self-made."
Rev. A. A. Ebersole so declared in
his sermon at the Central Union
church last night. He took as his
text, If a man die, shall he live
again." ..s...
Religious faith can not be inherit
ed he declared. "A mans whole es-
innate of life is bound ND in the view
he holds of the future. What is the
use of striving to attain character If
at any moment life is to be snuffed
out ?" 49,, ~
Answering the question in his SER
mon topic he said:
immortality can not be scientific
ally. proved, because it lies in the fu-
ture. No, future event in the order
Of nature can be proved, We take it
for granted that the sun win rise to-
morrow and the tides will ebb and
flow, but we can not prove 1t.
One can be certain of many things
he can not prove. When all his past
experience and the past experience of
others whose testimony he can trust
indicate a certain course of events q
man can say to himself, I know it will
be So
1T is the accumulation of evidence
that at last brings conviction. It is
thus that the thoughtful man builds up
his faith in the future life"

ROSE STALLS
BIG SUCCESS
LIBERTY

James, Forbes wrote The Chorus
Lady" a comedy drama OF present
day-or night-life behind the
scenes" The Chorus Lady" was pre-,
scented in New York with Rose Stahl
for two solid years. following which
it toured the country for several sea.
SONS with large number of com.
panies making the presentation.
Jesse L. Lasky figured The Chorus
Lady" as a winner and decided to
present il in the silent drama. He
did, and any of the crowd that packed
the Liberty theater last night will tes-
tify to his good judgment. 1t is one
of the big features IN Paramount pic
lures. -..
Cleo Ridgley appears as Patricia
0'Brien, the chorus girl Her sister
Nora tMargery Daw) insists upon a
stage career despite the oft repeated
warnings o. Patricia. Pointing out
the pitfalls proves of no avail and lit.
tie Nora insists upon experiencing
things for herself.
The work of Miss Ridgley, a beau.
tiful young woman and good actress
besides, is all that could be asked.
The comedy is wholesome and most
enjoyable. r.. -+-.~. IT,:
Neil of the Navy is nearing the
end and some of the villains are get
ting theirs" The interest in this
serial has been sustained from start
to finish and the fact that it is brief
has added greatly to the enthusiasm
of the serial fans. -. .......
