THE DEsERTER

Lieutenant Jack Parker, young
officer at an American army post,
loves Barbara Taylor, the Colone's
daughter; but she is betrothed to
Captain Turner. When she refuses
to dance with him, he takes it as a
sign that his chances are gone for
ever, so he seeks solace in an evil re-
sort, where, in a row, he shoots a
gambler and strikes Captain Turner
who is sent to arrest him. Facing a
court-martial, whose verdict is GER
tain to be the death penalty, he bri-
bes Joe White-Horse, a half-breed, to
help him escape in civilian clothes.
Men with wagon train rescue him
from death in the desert. Mary, an
orphan girl in the party, falls in love
win him. Indians attack the train.
Parker, an Indian in disguise, breaks
through the lines, and rides for help
to the fort, knowing that then he will
have to face court-martial. The
soldiers rescue the train. In the
meantime, the wounded Parker has
been placed in the hospital, where
Barbara and Mary watch over him,
and smashing finish is put to a
thrilling STORY. Majestic, June FL.

MAY FACE U. S. CHARGE
Scarcity Of Pasture Has Led Cattle
men to Invade Fort Sill.

Lawto Under instructions from
United States Attorney John A. Fain,
warrants have been issued from the
commissioners court here prefrring
chargs against a number Of Comanche
county cattlemen for trespassing, with
their herds, upon the Fort Sill military
reservation.
One herder, Barney Williams, was
arrested. He waived preliminary trial
and was held to await the action Of the
federal grand jury.
Long continued drouth and scarcity
OF pasture has caused cattlemen to
drive their herds into the military res.
ervation wherever they could elude
guards placed by army officers. Many
times the wire fence surrounding the
reservation has been found cut, near
points where herds we're found graz
ing. Inability to keep these intruders
out forced the military authorities to
appeal to the district attorney Col. H
ton can produce will be required Ia

FEWER LOSSES IN WAR NOW
Official Losses in Trenches Smaller
Than in the Rebellion.

Official Losses in trenches omaher
Than in the Rebellion.
England is supposed to have in
Belgium and France 2 million SOL
diers. There have been steady bonn
harding and fierce trench warfare all
spring, and yet the official losses in
killed and wounded reported for a
whole month. were only 114,OOO.
Our Civil War campaigns were far
deadlier than that. At Antietam
twenty-three thousand, Confederate
and Union soldiers, were put out IN
twelve hours, and that represented
about 20 per cent of all engaged.
What does that mean, 1t means
that an American soldier in the Re-
bellion had nearly four times as many
death hazards to cross in one day as
the soldiers of the Allies have to meet
in a month.
Officers say the losses in the pres
emit war were far heavier in the early
days in France, when the two armies
met in the open shock OF battle

IN THE DRAMATIC EYE

4 CC0RDING to the best informa-
"A tion available, and apparently
it is accurate, the plays of Horace
Annesley Vachell give but little indi-
cation of the man. The slightness Of
"The Chief" and "The Lodger" and
the sentimentality of "Quinneys "
certainly lead one to picture the au-
thor as a quiet man, of meagre build
and sedulent habits. The contrary,
as you have guessed by this time, is
the truth.
Vachell is one British playwright
who knows America. For years he
was a rancher in California. He
hunted big game and fished for tar
pom; he roamed the canyons; he
worked shoulder TO shoulder with the
American ranchers. And he writes
plays about Bloomsbury!
HARLIE RUGGLES is exactly the
~ kind Of person that Oliver
Morosco has in mind when he talks
about a typical Morosco cast. Rug
giles has been under contract TO Mr.
Morosco for six years, and he is
bound for two more. Thereupon he
will probably enter into an addition
al agreement, because he likes it. He
never has to hunt for work.
Just at present Ruggles is doing
exceedingly we'll in the somewhat
violent Canary Cottage" He was
idling about New York last summer,
when there came a telegram from o.
NJ, in Los Angeles. II bade him col
lect transportation from George
Mooser and travel at once to the
Coast, where a good part awaited him
in something called Canary Cot
tage." (Ruggles pauses to interiect,
at this point, that all parts are
"good.") So he went to Los Angeles,
and was considerably taken aback
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-02-11

when he found that Canary Cottage
was a musical piece. He had never
been in a musical piece in his life,
but that didn't deter him. Why
should it?
1t was the San Francisco earth
quake that shook young Ruggles out
of the drug business and make an
actor out Of him. He was about
ready to leave the drug business, any
how. He had been doing little pri-
vate investigating, and the result was
the discovery that the average earn
ings of a drug person at the end of
the seventeenth year are quite incon-
siderable quite. When the
earthquake arrived Ruggles took the
hint. He packed what was left and
went to Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles was Fred Belasco's
stock company. Ruggles decided that
he might as we'll be an actor as the
way he was, 80 he joined the COM
pany. He stayed five years. BY that
time Oliver Morosco had established
a rival company in Los Angeles, and
he offered Ruggles more money. Rug
giles took it. Thereupon he was near
" five years with Morosco's stock
company, so he learned lot about
stock companies, anyhow.
The hit of young Ruggles's career
was made here last year in Rolling
Stones" 1t was only his second New
York appearance, and the first was
not of character TO earn him much
fame. 1t was in Jack Lait's Help
Wanted" which created quite a stir
in Chicago and didn't create even
semi-stir in New York. Rolling
Stones" was a Selwyn production;
Mr. Morosco had nothing for Ruggles
at the time, so he farmed him out.
Now he is back under the old flag.
