British and French troops were

ing Saturday. Cordona has three
million men and states that his army
is still obedient and in order, but
the enemy keep him so hard pressed
he has little chance to dig in and
make stand.
The teutonic forces are command
ed by General Won Mackenson, the
famous German strategist who has
made so many successful drives
against the Russians and Rouman-
ians and Serbians.
On the western front the Teutons
lost a piece of country thirteen miles
in depth, with about 400 cannon and
700 machine gune. The Germans
also lost great number of aircraft.
British naval vessels destroyed
eleven armed German vessels of the
smaller type and the British ad-
miralty report a marked thinning
out of German submarines. The
loss from undersea boats is one out
of every 200 in the war zone.

BOUGHT IN GOOD FAITH

Comment upon the purchase of
Liberty bonds by people, who are
not supposed to have the price, is
risky and unkind venture at this
time. If persons have been spending
their income and not laying up any
thing, and conclude at this crisis in
the nations life, to buy Liberty
bonds on the installment plan and
virtually mortgage their future to
furnish the government with such
funds as they hope to earn, it is
evidence Of rising to the occasion in
a most approved manner.
All the Liberty bonds subscribed
for have either been paid for in cash
or the first insta11ment has been paid
and somebody or some bank stands
ready to advance the money for the
subsequent payments If the persons
VIII ose names are on the slip fail to
deliver. It is better to have ten
million purchasers back of the bonds
than ten thousand, and there's lot
Of us buying bonds now who haven't
the ready money in our vest pockets
And so much greater is the credit If
we do our level best to meet the
demands.

PRtAYER VERSUS FIGHTING

President Wilson appointed Sun
day day Of prayer for the success
ct our arms, and we copy below the
views of two Salt Lake clergymer
on the subject:
By the Right Rev. Joseph S
Glass, Catholic Bishop of Salt Lake:
Not only is it your duty to ap,
plaud and encourage the activities
Of your government, but it is your
duty to deprive yourselves Of the
very necessities in the interest OF
that governmtnt.
No twofold allegiance is possible
You are either for or against the
United States. If you are not serving
your country you are her enemy.
You are a Benedict Arnold when
you serve yourself instead Of your
country.
THE president asks us today for
our prayers. He donesn't say God
is obligated to him and that he is
His divine representative, but he
says, Let us get down on our knees
and pray to our God in due humility
for the success of our arms
Praying for your country means
praying for freedom; and your
prayer for your country means a
prayer that the spectacle of a people
ruling itself shall not perish from
the earth; a prayer for your country
means prayer that the United
States shall not become a province
of foreign power.'
BY the Rev. Elmer 1. Goshen, pastor
of the First Congregation church
II am surprised at President Will
sons proclamation for Prayer Sun
day. didn't know anything about
this Prayer Sunday until it brought
to my attention today, but | can't
see where it will do any good.
81 believe in the old Cromwellian
idea of Trust in God but keep your
powder dry and l don't believe
Prayer Sunday or any other pray
in g is going to have any effect on the
outcome of the war;
The Rev. Mr.. Goshen said that he
had been busy all the week working
for the success of the Liberty loan
and that he had not noticed the
pr esident's proclamation. He de-
Jared that all the other nations
we're beseeching God for his aid and
tn at even the kaiser claims the Sup
rene Being as his personal ally.
Praying won't do any good un-
less we are right and trust in Cod"
the minister reiterated. ''If we are
not right the nation can go on bend
ed knees for months and God will
not help; if we are right we don't
need to ask Gods help, we'll get it.
We are right and prayer is all right,
but let us at the same time remem-
ber that God helps those who work
in just cause and who help them
selves in that cause"

JOSEPH #. SMITH LOSES

A fire believed to have been set
by enemies of the country destroyed
a fine new barn, 1000 bushels of
grain, $50 tons of hay and some fine
animals at the farm of Joseph F.
Smith at Taylorsville, Utah, Satur-
day night while the family were
away.
Neighbors gather and fought the
fire with buckets and succeeded in
saving the house and some of the
dairy cattle, but four fine horses
were burned alive in the barn. A
high wind was blowing from the
south, and the flames started at the
south side of the barn, from which
it might be expected to spread to
all the rest of the property.

FIRST U. s. SOLDIERS
CAPTURED BY TEUTONS
Berlin Reports the Capture Of
Number of Americans
on Scout Duty

Official war statement from Ber-
lin on November reads as follows:
AT the Rhine-Marne canal, as the
result of a accommodating thrust,
North American soldiers were
brought in as prisoners" The men
constituted a small scouting party
from General Pershing's force, spy
ing on the enemy during the night,
and were probably surprised by Ger
mans and taken in a hand-to-hand
encounter. The exact number of
men taken is not known, but General
Pershing will transmit the names of
any men missing and this may fur
nish some clue.

ITALIANS SUSTAIN
ENORMOUS LOSSES
Forfeit 10000 Prisoners Day For
Ten Days. Unparalleled
Loss of Cannon

For the past ten days General
Cardona, commander in chief of the
Italian armies, has been losing
prisoners to the Germans and Aus
trians at the rate of 10000 a day,
and cannon at the rate of about 180
day.
The Italian armies which had been
successfully hammering the enemy
back into Austria for many months,
was suddenly confronted by an over
Whelming force of Teutons and
driven far back into Italy. Great
stretches of country swarming with
Italians would be surrounded and
cut off so there was little to do but
surrender or be butchered enmasse
by the enemy closing in on all sides.
In some instances the Italians cut
their way out amid tremendous
slaughter. In all cases the rear
guard of Cardona's army made stub
born resistance against the on

THE BIRTH OF A NATION
naaA a&l incl

Don't act! Live!
1t was tall man who waved his
arms and shouted as the grinding,
clicking cameras took in the pictures
of 1.-THE Birth of A Nation" which
are to be shown at the Hipp Theatre
on Wednesday and Thursday, May
23rd and oath.
The man? He was David Wark
Griffith, the greatest genius that the
world of motion pictures knows. And
it was this command, asserted time
after time that he constantly hurled
toward his hundreds and hundreds of
actors.
Don't act! Live" he shouted
time after time. " don't want act
ing. l want real life. I want every
one of you to personally undergo the
pains and trials and anguish and the
happiness that this picture is suppos-
ed to represent And when you have
done that, I'll be satisfied, not be-
fore!"
And so it was that other directors
who watched the staging of the pic
lures walked away with wishes in
their hearts that their own actors
could work as wonderfully, as faith
fully and as true to life. For there
is not a scene in the thousands that
go into the twelve reels of pictures
which are to be presented here in
which there is the least indication
of acting" Just as David Griffith
commanded then. to do, every charac-
ter lives the life of the person they
are supposed orepresent and when
there arc need of tears, there are
real ones. There is no acting in The
