German hosts approach the town. All

main to nurse the wounded who are
brought to the chateau. The Germans
take possession of the chateau and
there follows a terrible orgy Of intoxi-
cation. property destruction and abuse
Of the women nurses.
The young German American. now
a lieutenant in the invading forces,
comes face to face with the girl from
America after he has chased her
through the dark upper Railways Of
the chateau. Eventually the little
American. having refused longer to be
neutral, is caught as she is giving
secret information to the French by
a hidden telephone. Her Prussian
lover takes her part and denounces
the German system. and both are or
dered shot at once. A timely shell
from a French mortar however, saves
her life by wiping out the firing
squad. She and her Prussian lover
are taken by the French and are
given their passports to America.

Ruthlessness Of Enemy Cold
ly Depicted in Picture
at Empress.

A picture that should be seen by
every man, woman and child who loves
the United States Of America Is now
on view at the Empress theater. The
film is called THE Little American
In its unfolding is shown some ex-
cellent photography combined with
the stellar acting Of that great pic
ture favorite, little Mary Pickford
She Is ably supported by Jack Holt
in the role of minion of Prussian-
ism. and Raymond Hatton, fighting
French count.
The time is most suspicious for a
showing of such a photoplay as this.
With our land at war with Germany,
and with the birth of our country in
the minds of all. there is little that
could be done to inspire greater pa
triotism than this filming. Prussian-
ism in all its horrible reality is shown
you, from the sinking of n majestic
ocean liner. filled with men. women
and children of neutral nations
chiefly the United States-to the raw
jshment of north France by the in
vading hordes OF the Huns.
The picture opens with Miss Pick
ford celebrating hers and the nation $
birthday, July 4, 1914. Rivals for her
hand are Holt, a Prussian reservist,
and Hatton. During the observance
Of the day both make their plea for
her hand. She is inclined to favor
the Prussian. As she is about to give
her answer comes the card of Ger
man officer to Holt, who Is at the
home of the little American. Holding
it to the light he sees through il the
German coat OF arms and the single
printed word: "Gehorche!"
Obey he does, leaving the follow
ing morning for Germany, the sum
moner having told him that there Is

Miss Pickford writes to Holt. who Is
now with the German armies in north
France. announcing her sailing the fol.

liner "Veritania." In midocean and al
night the great ship Is torpedoed by
a German submarine.

Regarding the Telephone Situation
That the People of Mssoua Visitors May Know

The telephones Of Mssoua out Of service It is with
deep regret that this company announces that does not
know when they may be again in operation.
The operators, centras are on strike. 1t is not known
how long they will be out
The situation this morning this: On July at about
noon, officials of this company served with agree
ment to sign This called for certain scale of wages and
for absolute recognition of the operators union just formed
it called upon the company to force all operators into the
union.
The company had sent officials here to place in operation
scale of wages averaging practically the
later demanded by the operators This scale was to have
been effective July l. The operators individually
notified of the proposed scale.
Upon being presented with the agreement to sgn local
officials of the company asked for necessary time in which
to confer with Denver headquarters regarding it. The OPP
orators have refused to grant this request The company
has never been served with written notice that the present
strike was to be called.
So far be determined the strike has not been sub
med to the Missoua County Trades Labor Council and
has not the support of that body
The operators met Monday night and at about IL 80 p
