"The Tar Hal W.rr;or''

Walt Whitman. the Triangle star whose sympathetic personality makes Col. Mills most lovable old south ern gentleman in the new film play, The Tar Heel Warrior" which comes to the Columbia today, has had, many real views of death closer than that in the scene where Col. Mills prefers suicide to dishonor.
 Back in 1896 he jumped from the fifth floor of the burning Hotel Richelieu. in Montreal, and barely escaped death. This fire claimed three lives. In 1902. he came out of q bad wreck on the Lehigh Valley railroad without scratch and in 1916 when civilization in which he played the ambassador. was be- ing filmed. Mr. Whitman was knocked into a bar6ed wire fence al the edge of the trenches by an ar mored motor car. directly over a large pot containing fused powder. He rolled to one side just before the spark reached the explosive. Com edies and news reels will complete this bill Tomorrow. Broadway Arizona" featuring Olive Tomas.

ALLEGED STACKER
 IS UNDER ARREST

Deputy Sheriff aDriskill of Prescott arrested Miles Bragg. known here as Max Arlington in this city yesterday, The charge against him is that of being a stacker. Within two hours af- ter the arrest had been made. Bragg was on his way to the army post at Yuma where it is probable that he will be court martialed. It appears that Bragg had been duly registered and drafted into military service, but upon arriving at the train with the members of his contingent. he entered theNrain on the depot side and immediately made his escape on the opposite side. Amid the confusion of the entrainment his escape was unnoticed and his ab- sAnce was not known until roll call at Camp Funston. He made his way to Phoenix and secured employment under the assumed name of, Max Ar ington. It was through descriptions furnished by the Camp Funston au
 thorities and the Prescott draft board that the man was located in Phoenix and the arrest was made possible.

20-PAGE AD VAS
 BIGGEST OF KIND

Although accustomed almost daily to the review of big advertising stunts, the advertising agencies of the south west and of the coast were compelled to open their eyes vet wider when they received the twenty page advertise iuent of the Babhitt- Poison company of Phoenix. part of the November 14th issue of The Arizona Republican.
 Praise from experts like these is praise indeed, and Phoenix may well he proud that she numbers among her progressive business concerns. one like the Babbitt-Polson company that can make them all sit up and take notice. One of the big advertising agencies of the coast says it probably was the largest automobile advertisement ever appearing in newspaper. Their let ter is as follows:

 Business Manager,

 Tn re your favor of November 18th, will state that we have looked over the advertisement of the Babhitt- Poison Co. with great interest. This was cer- tainly some advertisement-the largest We have ever seen. and we believe that you are undoubtedly correct in your idea that it is the largest single adYeT- tisement by a single automobile con ceLn that has yet appeared in any news paper. We congratulate you most heartily.

 That November 14th issue carrying Babbitt- -Polson's 20-page section cer- tainly is a dandy. and not only is th' largest single automobile advertise ! ment that We have noticed publishes in this state, but the arrangement layout and the entire twenty pages a! whole are extremely good. in Ou opinion.

 Prom the point of view. of one who has been there in service, it is impos- sible to give an accurate description of the French battle front, vet it may be 6f interest to the readers of The Republican to take a short birds eye glimpse of one very small sector in the general direction of the Swiss frontier
