OPERA HOUSE SUNDAY NIGHT
"Her Strange Weddinp"

Despite the fact that Fannie Ward
gained her greatest reputation on
the stage as a coincidence, she has
been tremendously successful since
becoming a Lasky- Paramount star
in the enacting of powerful dramatic
roles. Her success in "The Cheat"
is still being talked about in the film
world-there are several others. 1t
was for this reason that Jesse L. Las
ky purchased from George Middle
ton, the well-known playwright and
author, "Her Strange Wedding
which has been adapted for the
screen by Charles Maigne and as
signed to Miss Ward as a stellar We
hicle.
The story of "Her Strange We'd
ding" concerns Carolie Grayson, a
rather frivolous young girl who is
loved by two brothers. One of them,
Max, is successful young physician
who is extremely studious and quiet
in his general demeanor while his
younger brother, Lee, sufferer
from heart trouble, is a charming
and thoroughly captivating chap who
makes an excellent impression on
first sight. The rather superficial
Coralie, failing to perceive the depth
Of Max's character, falls in love with
Lee and after a cyclonic courtship
they are married
How the true character of the hus-
band is finally revealed and how
happiness comes to the wife in true
story-book fashion, is told in true
Lasky style.

Petty jealousy leads to the murder

ton with the pOstoffice department
in handling this years mailings; and
the postoffice department trusts that
the public will meet this commend
able spirit by not delaying the mail
ing of Christmas membranes UNI
til the last moment.
Il am particularly interested In
impressing upon the public the ne
cessity of mailing Christmas gifts TO
soldiers in France before the 10Th OF
November-in fact, parcels mailed
after that date cannot be expected TO
reach the soldiers at the front until
long after Christmas has passed.
About November 10 would be the
most helpful date to admit of the
prompt dispatch of Christmas mails
being made-November. 10 and 10
being the last chances to get parcels
to the men who are lining up under
Pershing for the big war drive
Another matter that should be
borne in mind is that under the
transportation operations in France
il will be impossible to send parcels
of greater weight than seven pounds,
and postmasters have been directed
to refust parcels over that weight
These parcels should be offered to
the postoffice for mailing, open, 50
that the postmaster may inspect the
contents and affix to the parcel his
certificate that no prohibited article
is contained therein. Failure to COM
ply with these directions will cause
long delays and will result in disap-
pointment to the men, who otherwise
,,.O,,Id ha tho raoiniQutc Of Christmas
cheer.
Therefore | would urge upon all
persons who may use the mails for
the transmission of Christmas gifts
and messages to bear in mind the
postal slogan-'Mail Early. Pack Sc
curely, Address Properly.
The hearty cooperation of the
railroads with the postoffice depart
ment in the effort to serve the pub
lie we'll in handling promptly the
heavy Christmas mails is assured
by the following letter sent to all
roads by r. H. Ashton, chairman of
the Central Department Committee of
the Railroads War Board:
Our attention has been called by
the postoffice department and also
by the express companies to the
very large prospective Increase Dotn
in the number and weight of Christ
mas packages to be transported by
the railroads this season.
''There are more men away from
home and family, under arms, in the
military and naval service of this
country, than ever before in our
history All of them will probably
receive Christmas parcels ranging
from one to twenty pounds in weight,
which will be in addition to the large
volume ordinarily handled during this
period. To take care of this traffic
is going to require every available
baggage and express car, as well as
some high class refrigerators and
other special cars of this character.
1T is suggested and urged that all
of this class of equipment to handle
this business that is possible, be,
made suitable for service and gotten
off the repair tracks by the first
part of December; and, further, that
every means be used to induce the
public to ship Christmas packages a
week or ten days earlier than usual,
in order that they may be sure to

A JUST CRITICISM

II .may be the members of con-
gressi are patriots long
suffering and elf-sacrificing-bu the
action of that body in exempting the
income of its members from the war
tax When the tax was made to apply
to all others justifies the suspicion
that the solons were as much inter
esteds in conserving their own resour-
ces ais they were in leyying tribute
on the millions whose names do not
adornt the congressional directory.
Perhaps the most scathing criticism
on congressman for this exhibition or
selfishness comes from Judge James
Gould of Pine Bluff. In a recent
communication to the Arkansas Ga
zette he said
1T sseems to me If there ever was
a body of men who need skinning
it is the late Congress on the pass
age of the law exempting their salary
from the tar provision of the revenue
law. Why should members of con-
gress or any government official
have his salary exempt any more
than a private individual on the same
basis? | cannot understand how they
can stand before an intelligent audi
ward the expense of this awful war,
when they have had themselves ex-
empted from this tax. | am willing
and think it a privilege to pay every
dollar that my government says is
my share of this war. | am willing,
and am contributing, that which is
dearer than life itself to ME, my
son, to this cause, but it makes my
blood boil to think that the law max
ers of this nation, to save a few
paltry dollars out of their salaries,
should exempt themselves from the
provisions of the law that affects me.
''If there ever was time when
the press of this nation should make
it hot for a bunch of law makers,
that time seems to be now. 1t ought
to be made so hot for them that they
would be willing to change the law
by telegraph, if possible. How can
they call any man a Stacker who
fails to buy Liberty Bond with this
law staring them in the face?'

Even engineers have little concep-
ton of the magnitude of Camp Pike.
They do not stop to consider that 1t
is a city of 10000 people, and will
soon be almost double that popula-
ton. Otherwise the contractors who
are erecting the cantonement would
not receive from men who are sup
posed to know, such ridiculous re.
quests as have recently been made.
One engineer has written asking
that he be kept advised on the rapid
ity with which water and sewer lines
are laid There are over 20 miles
of water and sewer lines in Camp
Pike. These were laid by dozens of
gangs, working in many parts of the
camp at the same time. They fairly
ate the ground as they flew along
The engineer did not care to have
accurate daily measurements, but he
would like to have it stepped Off
This would keep one man stepping
pretty lively for in order to make
the reports requested, he would have
to go over the entire twenty miles

Rome, Tuesday, Nov. 6.--''The Ger

statement issued here today. Strong
confidence is felt that it will fail 70

military situation, although difficult,
is being held in hand, while the po-

The retreat caused a military cri-

by the assembling of troops on a

KEEPING TEMPTATION
FROM The SOLDIERS
HOW THE Y. M. C. A. AND THE
WAR SERVICE BOARD LOOKS
AFTER THEIR MORAL DEVEL-
OPMENT-AMUSEM

Little Rock, Nov. 1.-Two elements
are always working, aside from the
military authorities, to keep tempta-
ton from the men who are undergo
ing training at Camp Pike-the Army
Y. M. c. A and the War Service
Board . 1t lis a sly fox that can
slip by these two watch dogs of the
soldiers morals.
The Y. NJ c. A. devotes it's ener-
gies toward making the camp y
buildings so attractive that the men
will not want to go to the city when
off duty, and the War Service Board
looks after the welfare of the men
in the city, supplies athletic and
boxing instructors at the camp and
theatre buildings so that the men
get even better attraction than do
the citizens of Little Rock.
The Y. NJ c. A. has seven build
ings at Camp Pike. All have NOV
ing pictures in connection, with in
structive films shown without cost
to the men. There are writing
rooms, and huge banners beseech
the men to write to mother today"
Stationery is given free and stamps
are sold after postal hours. The Y.
M. C. A. at Camp Pike, giving but
two sheets of paper and one envelope
to men at a time, has handed out
as many as twenty thousand sheets
of paper to the men on one evening.
This encourages the men to write
home, and has made thousands of
mothers glad there is such an orga-
nization at the camp.
The big thing about the Y build
ings is the large, open fire place.
Here the men gather in the evening,
pop corn, roast peanuts and tell
yarns. The atmosphere of the place
is such that the stories are always
wholesome, and the young man
spends an evening that is edifying,
instead of joining the sidewalking
throng in the city.
Around the fringes of the camp
the tent attractions spring up like
mushrooms, but the War Service
Board maintains a strict censorship
over these shows, and nothing i'm
moral is permitted.
The boys are soon convinced that
a Y. NJ G. A. is not place where
religious services are always in pro-
gress, but one where he can be en-
tertained. He has a piano. Victrola,
and can indulge in boxing to his
hearts content.
Many men who never had an OPP
portunity to try their hand on a
piano before, have shown consider

MAILING OF PARCELS.

The Postoffice Department and the
railroads are cooperating in plans
for handling promptly an enormous
increase in Chris mas parcels sent
by mail, in addition to those sent

was adopted for expediting the holt
day mail service.
Before returning to Washington
Second Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Praeger issued this statement
to the public:
THE Christmas season this year
will have an added interest for the
American people. There will re the
usual seasonal greetings and remem-
brances at home, and in addition
there will be messages and remem-
ORANGES to perhaps 100000 men in
the army abroad and in the canton
ments in this country. The post
office department will be called upon
to handle practically two Christmas
mailings-one ON November Is for
the troops in France and the sailors
with the fleet in European waters.
The second will be the usually
heavy Christmas movements for the
homes and this year for the can
tonments.
''This double Christmas will de-
volve great burden on the trans
portation systems of the country;
and considering the heavy demands
imposed upon the railroads by these
conditions it becomes the patriotic
duty of every citizen to ease the
burden of transportation by mailing
Christmas packages early. A weeks
leeway for the regular Christmas
mailing is not too great, in view of
the heavy pressure on all transpor-
tation lines. The railroads of the
country are making sacrifices and
