AMERICAN BAyONET CLASS GRADUATES
 WITH HIGH HONORS
[Republican A. p. Leased WlreJ

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. Dec 10. - The graduation exercises of the large bayonet school today were witnessed by several gen. erals and their staffs. The men who had been trained in the British sys- tenn by British instructors, gave Q demonstration of energy, speed and accuracy which was truly American. They now are ready to go over the top.
 The scene of the graduation was in broad grassy valley, with, high hills Nalling all the sides. A British sergeant major, in charge of the act udl instruction, put the men through the bayonet drill so vigorously that more than one man was hurt. But their wounds were not serious. Ones hand was cut with the bayonet and several were bruised in body anu head, and the instructor himself so narrowly escaped a bayonet point ia the hands of a charging young Amer ican that his tunic was cut
 Now then,' the sergeant would say, holding @ heavy long stick in his hand, when I tell you men to turn, try to get the point to me Now, turn. Yeahl yeah! give 'em hell! that's good,"
 The Americans worked as if they were players on q football field, every nerve and every hardened muscle straining. The sergeant, by reason of long practice, was able to ward off some thrusts. with the polt or butt. but from many he had to jump out of the way to escape. His pupils went at the work as if they were

Madame Petrova at Empress

When George Broadhurst first pre- sented "The Law of the Land the public was thrilled by the sensational ly direct heart appeal it carried, and the drama enjoyed one of the longest runs ever accorded an attraction on Broadway. This is the vehicle which has been chosen by Paramount to star the famous Russian actress, Madame Olga Petrova, who comes to the Elm press today for a three days engage ment. The drama contains an inter est of highest order to every human being and it will appeal to young and old alike. The action, for the main part takes place within a period of A hours, but events of the greatest moment to at least six persons trans pire during that time. The story deals with the unhappy life of a sen sitive young girl who has been forced to give up the man she loves to enter into loveless marriage, that she might protect the family name from dishonor The husband, a worthless scoundrel, persists in striking at the wife, through their child, and the cli- max is reached when in order to pro- tect her child from the consuming rage of her husband, she is forced to kill the man she has grown to despise.

nr;cas represent a cost of approM- ,natejv $500 900, 900. While number Inf inc railroads are able to purchase their quotas of such equipment Wllh- out aid, it is apparent that because the United States has necessarily occupieu the investment market for war loans, as evidenced by the recent request or the secretary of the treasury that no new private financing shall be under taken without conferences with nm, the railroads generally cannot next wear provide through their usual channels for the capital requirements for the acquisition of equipment ana other possible additions to plant. They invoke therefore, the cooperation ana aid of the government through the treasury department and the federal reserve board to secure for them, on their own individual credit, the new capital found by the government to be necessary not only for enlargement or plant but for renewing maturing obll- gations.

actually facing the Germans, with jaws squared with determination, thrusting. parryine, clubbing.
 Even more vigor was shown by the men as they occupied the trench line and, with their officers, went over the top in charge, meeting the dummy Germans on the way and finally Occu pying the enemy trench. The opera tion began by firing from the trench at the dummies in the enemy trench and the demonstration of Iilartsman- ship showed the value Of practice with the rifles. Some of the men recorded perfect scores, while not l>ore than three out of the whole class fell below so in a possible 100.
 The men went furiously at the charge, urged on by the most en- phatic language that British sergeant major might be credited with having at his command. He shouted to his men: Give it to 'em-in the heart, in the throat! That's the way. If you don't get them, they'll get you. On your toes all the time Quick! Quick! Quick"
 The urging for speed appeared en- tirely unnecessary. The men knew what to do and did it, and they were so well trained that orders were antici- pated and executed almost simul- taneously with the giving.
 The French and British officers watching the exercises were enthusias- tic, especially at the speed and energy of the Americans. Some of the gradu- ates will be sent immediately to newly arrived units as instructors. A new class in this school will begin work at once.
 Other bayonet schools, with the same curriculum, have been or are being established at many places in the American zone and numerous other classes will soon be turned out as proficient in this necessary art.

 Bad Charge

Mrs. Rose St. Louis, who conducts hand laundry at the upper end of town, James Roland, former employe of the Commission, and Red Rogers, we'll known old-timer, are in the federal jail awaiting preliminary hearings; the first two on the charge of cohabiting in a state of adultery and the last named on the charge of as- sault with dangerous weapon. The trio were placed under arrest early yesterday morning at the home of Mrs. St. .I.ouls, where they are said to have been found occupying the same bed
 The offense alleged 10 have been com- mitted by Rogers occurred on Thursday when man called at the St. Louis place for his laundry. He entered the house and was met by Rogers, who is said to have brandished butcher knife and threatened his life If he did not depart immediately. The caller beat nasty re- treat and reported the incident to Com missioner Burns, with the above stated result.
 Following the knife incident, Rogers went to bls OWL home near the Howell stables and created considerable excitmcnt by imbiblng freely of wood alcohol, but was promptly attended by Dr. M, F.. Smith and is now apparently none the worse for the experience.
 Roland was arrested several days ago on misdemeanor charge and fined S1O and costs, amounting ill all to S23. The offerse now charged against him consti- tutes felony, and if the evidence is found sufficient at the preliminary hear ing, he will be bound over to the grand jury.
 The preliminary hearing was held be- fore Commissioner Robert F. Burns this afternoon, and resulted III the binding over to the grand jury of Mrs. St Louis and Roland under bonds of S3OO0 each.
 The Commissioner had the case of Rogers under advisinent at the time of going to press.

EMPLOY ALASkANS Commissioner Riggs Says Policy Is To Give Old
 Timers Preference

Questioned yesterday regarding the telegraphic report received during the week to the effect that two thousand men would be brought in by the Alaskan En- gneering commission this spring to work on the railroad in this division, Commits sioner Thos. Riggs, IT,, authorized the statement that there would be no change in the policy of the Commission, which is to give Alaskans the preference in the matter of employment. If it is possible to secure sufficient help ill Alaska, the entire force in this division during the coming summer will consist of men al- ready ill the country.
 MT. Riggs wired 10 H. P. Warren, who is reported to have given out the infor- nation from the Seattle office of the Commission, and was advised that the statemant referred merely to the number who would be employed, nothing having been said regarding the manner ot em- ployment.
 The statement regarding the number of men to be employed on the Nenana- Fairbanks division is substantially cor rect, MT. Riggs said, and additions to the present force will be made as rapidly as conditions will permit, after funds are available for the resumption of work. This means that there will be work dur ing the approaching working season for everyone in Interior Alaska who desires employment.
 MT. Riggs has heard nothing recently regarding the railroad appropriation, but he IS confident that funds will be provid- ed by congress before an adjournment is taken. Reassurances also come direct from Washington ill press dispatches re- ceived yesterday in which Representative Claude Kitchin predicts that all opprop- riation bills now pending will be passed before March 5, when it is expected that congress will adjourn.
