foundry" in George MoManus cartoon
series bringing Up Father" which will
be shown at the Grand on Feb. / !. That
this irrepressible wizard Of stagecraft
picked bringing Up Father" as a winner

world wager that 1t will be success.
In summing up Mr.. Hills successes, don't
overlook the fact that the cartoon plays
produced in the last thirty years have
been under his mana cement. The Nc
Manus cartoons have made a play that
has, in the hands OF Mr.. Hill, proven the
most remarkable plays in the history of
the musical comedy stage. 1t has simply
cleaned up all previous records and es-
tablished new ones that never will be
broken. therefore you may rest assured
that bringing UP Father" was designed
for and will be the peer of all cartoon
plays. 25c to Sl.5o

dered banquet to the church choir,
their wives and husbands. About rs
persons, including the members of the
Bible class and their wives, partook of
a splendid turkey supper prepared by
the Ladies Aid. Any account of this
affair that failed to give due praise to
those who prepared the feast of good
things would be incomplete as it was
perfect in every detail. The Sunday
school orchestra furnished music during
the evening that was highly appreciated
by all present and was encored again
and again.

West and w. c. Steele.
Mrs. Dillon entertained with well
rendered reading, and Miss Pansy Shell
don sang a solo that elected hearty
encore, to which she gracefully re-
sponded.

upon the program, where the partici-
pants could not be induced to repeated
demands for encores, were a monologue
by Miss Gladys Baxter. with Mrs. Steele
at the piano, and violin solo by Miss
Hazel Hunt, with Miss Hoyt at the
| piano.
o. j. Baxter was toastmaster or
master of ceremonies and proved him
self truly master of the occasion from
the moment he requested the members
to remain standing while DIR. Weaver,
beloved pastor and teacher of the mems
class, returned thanks to God, until he
presented Mrs. Steele and Miss Gross
arth each bouquet of cut flowers at
the close of the banquet. A few well
chosen words of thanks from Mrs.
Steele completed the evenings festiv-
tiles.

the last rites for Mrs. Cora Steven.
Miller, whose death was reported in The
Enterprise of last week:
THE funeral of Mrs. ]. A. Miller which
was held at the Presbyterian church last
Friday afternoon was very beautiful and
impressive. A large congregation hac
assembled, and as the mourners entered

mourners were seated. Rev. Brown rsao

speaking as perhaps words could not, OF
the high esteem in which Mrs. Miller
was held in this community. The day
was bitterly cold but the church and gal
ery were full to overfowing. The pail
bearers were young men of the Christian
Endeavor, an organization OF which she
was an active earnest worker.
She was also an enthusiastic worker IT
the Womans Club. having been connected
with that organization during all OF her
residence in our city, and was ever inter-
sted in all civic matters. The Womans
Club attended the funeral services IN
body, and as mark of respect to Mr.
Miller and family. all business places
closed their doors during the afternoon.

SMALLEST REPUBLIC
 GREETS THE LARGEST
SAN MARINo SENDS MESSAGE OF GOOD WILL TO THE
 UNITED STATES.

SAN MARINO, July 1S.-San Mar inc, the smallest republic in the world recently sent a message of greeting and good will to the United States
 The message was delivered in the palace of the government, and in part it said:
 We join with our great sister re- public, the United States of America, in the sincere desire for peace" said the official message.
 Tn the midst of war, we maintain our Society for International Peace. We only regret that our geographical position makes us look upon the war with little less degree of neutrality than the United States has been able to maintain.
 We are heart and soul with the Allies. While for military reasons and reasons of state we may not con slider it advisable to participate di- rectly in the war, our sympathies are are on only one side. In reality we are the eighth of the Allies, and we are indeed proud to be considered by the side of Russia, England, France, Italy, Belgium, Portugal and Serbia"
 San Marine is an inland republic on the summit of Mount Titan, but it l is only six miles from the Adriatic Sea and the Italian city of Rimini Rimini already has been bombarded by an Austrian fleet San Marine and Austria have been nominally at war for fifty years. A careless Austrian gunner might sent a shell crashing into the summit of Mount Titan and blow the republic to pieces. During the last bombardment of Rimini the San Marine general staff, from the top of their citadel, watched the shelling closely through field glasses.
 The pacificists controlled San Ma rino's grand council before the war broke out. The republic has no heavy guns with which to repel Austrian war ships
 The artillery equipment consists solely of two small mortars presented by King Victor Emanuel H., of Italy, many, many years ago, and two soixante-quinze cannons presented by Victor Emanual III, twelve years ago.
 Neither the mortars could reach the sea with one of their shells, to say nothing of enemy warships. The gen. eral staff realizes it's impotency. The

republics salvation lies chiefly in the chance that Austria will forget all about her.
 San Marine, the smallest republic in the world and the oldest independent state in Europe, was founded in the fourth century. It is situated west of Rimini, Italy, on Mount Titan, and has a frontier circumference of twenty four miles and an area of thirty-six square miles. It has population of 11,OOO. Its army is composed of 1000 infantrymen and nine artillerymen. It has it's own coinage, postal system and diplomatic corps.

HERE PRESUMABLY
 TO INVESTIGATE
STRANGER REPORTED TO BE SILL ENT AT ALL TIMES AND
 CIRCUMSTANCES

A few days ago, stranger arrived From there comes the report that the stranger has reached that place and has become the guest of Father Dun can. This has led many to believe that he is here to investigate the trouble that has been aired between a certain number of Metlakatlans and Father Duncan and in which the gov ernment took a hand. This stranger, it is said, some years back wrote a history about what had been done for the natives, etc., which it is thought led many in investing small sums in the cannery, sawmill and other i'm provements; not for any returns from their investments, but merely to help them get a start Since the trouble arose and divided the inhabitants into factions, conditions on Annette Island have been anything but pleasant and Secretary Lane, under whose juris- diction the management of the affairs of the natives comes, took possession of the presumably public property, and sent government officials to administer the affairs. Since then, threats and what not, are said to have been hurl- ed from one faction to another, until some natives claim that conditions are almost unbearable, and that some thing will have to be done soon.
 A report has it that those who are opposed to Father Duncan are work ing to have the old gentleman remov- ed from the island. Whether there is any foundation for the report must soon appear.
 A native whose knowledge of the situation cannot be questioned, says that only some fifty members of that community are upholding one faction while some six hundred are behind the other It is thought that an election may be ordered in the near future at which every Metlakatlan will be given the opportunity to express his opinion by ballot.

GERMANS FALL BACK
 ON THIRD LINE
FRENCH NOW DOWN ENEMY WHEN LATTER ATTEMPT AS-
 sAULT OF THEIR POSITION.

LONDON, July 20.-Reports from Paris say that desperate German at tacks with heavy losses, aginst four different French positions, featured last nights fighting. Today's com munique from the French war office says:
 -Four separate German assaults on a grand scale were made last night at Avocourt wood, Chapitre wood, Apl remont forest and in the Vaux sector,
 Our curtains of fire, machine guns and rifles moved the Germans down in phalanxes."
 Hurled back by a great British saii- ent, ten miles wide at the base and from three to six miles deep, the Ger mans are now facing the British on the Somme front at their third line of defenses. The second has been completely shattered.
 This was the situation as described in the official British statement issued at noon today. Other developments were given as follows:
 We are continuing to exert power ful pressure against the German posi- tions from Hardecourt, where the Brit ish and French armies join, to Ovillers.
 Violent German counter attacks in the region of three villages taken yes terday broke down under our concen- trated artillery.
 We have taken 2,OO0 more prison ers."
 The statement continued:
 All continues well on the British front and at one point the enemy has been forced back to their third sys- tenn of defenses, more than four miles in the rear of the original front on the Fricourt-Mametz line.
 Tn the past twenty-four hours more than 1000 prisoners, including a regi- mental commander of the Third Guards division have been captured. The total number of prisoners since the drive began exceeds 10000. We also captured large quantities of muni- tions."

It is useless to say that Prof. Jones, while here and at Metlakatla. made friends who wish him we'll and regret his depart ure Mir Jones said that he was not informed as to who his successor would be.
