Big Fight" in 1.-THE Eyes of the
World"

Everyone who saw the filmed
production of Rex Beach's virile
book, "The Spoilers, remembers
above everything else the "big
fight" This tumultuous and rea-
Iistic scene served over all its 9TH
er incidents, to raise, "The Spoil
ers" to first rank in its day and
make it a topic of general discus
sion.
Motion picture history repeats
itself in Clune's elaborate multi
ple-reel production of fThe Eyes
OF the World" pictorial version
of Harold Bell Wright's famous
story, on which the Clune studios
have been working for six months,
and which is scheduled to have
its first showing here at the Artic
theatre on Thursday, August 9th.
"The Eyes of the World" also
has as its major thrill a big fight.

any way after the one in 1.-THE

President Makes Red Cross Appeal.

Another winter closes around the
great European struggle, and with
the cold, there comes greater need
among soldiers in the fighting line
and in the hospitals, and still more
| among the women and children in ru-
ined homes or in exile.
This country, at peace, blessed with
prosperity, can hardly imagine the
needs, but it can help to meet them.
Of great Importance among the
agencies which have expressed our
sympathy with stuff ering humanity
among the belligerent nations has
been the American Red Cross. This
organization of our countrymen has
brought relief to every nation in the
great war.
It's skilled workers have cared for
thewounded of every army, have gone
forth through the desolate Siberian
plains to bring help to thousands of
prisoners, have fought disease in pes
tilence-ridden Siberia, and have
brought hope to countless noncombat-
ants, women and children.
Wherever these Red Cross men and
women go, they are carrying the
message that Americans cannot rest
without seeking to relieve such suf-
fering.
Organized, persistent work, like
that conducted by our American Red
Cross, requires grea- al of money.
Since the beginning of the war, mon
ey has come to us from men and wo-
men in all walks Of life. We have re-
ceived checks in five figures and pen
MES wrapped in smudged envelopes.
But now our funds are well-nigh
exhausted. We find ourselves at the
point where activities must be seri-
ously curtailed and we must turn
away from the heart-breaking ap-
peals brought by every European
mail unless by your contribution you
help us to continue.
1t is for you to decide whether the
most prosperous nation in the world
will allow it's national relief organiza-
ton to keep up it's work or withdraw
from a field where there exists the
greatest need ever recorded in his
tory.
We leave the situation in your
hands, confident of the outcome.
Woodrow Wilson,
President, American Red Cross.
Subscribe for suffering humanity.
Should designate your gift for the
Allied Powers or the Central Powers,
for any one nation or purpose, it will
go in full as you direct.
Subscriptions undesignated will go
in full where the American Red Cross
in it's judgment can accomplish the
greatest good.
Checks and money orders should be
payable to the "American Red Cross"
and mailed to the local chapter of the
Red Cross or to the American Red
Cross, Washington, D. c..

OLD KASSAN VILLAGE.
Curious Alaskan Landmark In the Ton.
qass National Forest

No other locality is quite like "Old
KasSan National Monument unique
tract of land held by lie United States
government. 1t consists of thirty eight
acres within the Tongasn national for
est, Alaska, and the tract embraces the
well known abandoned Haida Indian
village of Old Kassan, situated or
Prince of Wales island, in southeastern
Alaska, about thirty miles west Of
the city of Ketchikan.
The village was abandoned by the
Indians about ten years ago. Among
the relics which remain there are about
fifty Indian totem poles, five or six of
which are classed as exceedingly good
specimens. In the deserted village
there are also eight large square build
ings which were originally construct
ed according to the peculiar plan of the
Haida Indians and which, it is stated
by those best qualified to know, repre-
sent the best specimens of Haida ar
chitecture that now exist. The largest
of these buildings is approximately 40
by 60 feet in size and is made entirely
Of round and carved timbers.
There also remain a number of In
dian graves, with the typical small
grave houses erected by the Alaskan
Indians. "Kassan" is said to be the
Indian word which means "a pretty
town." and all reports agree that the
village was well named. The fact
that the village was occupied by the
Indians for many years explains the
local name, "Old' Kassan, by which
it is widely known. Since the village
was abandoned by the Indians the
buildings have been rapidly falling
into state of dilapidation and decay.

AMERICA VESPUCCI.
She Asked Congress For Citizenship
and "a Corner of Land"

She Asked Congress For Citizenship
and "a Corner of Land"
A decided sensation was created at
Washington during the Van Buren, adj
ministration by the appearance there
Of handsome and well dressed Italian
woman who called herself America
Vespucci and claimed descent from the
navigator who gave his name to the
continent EX-President Adams and
Daniel Webster became her especial
friends. and she soon was a welcome
guest in the best society. In few
weeks after her arrival she presented
petition to congress asking, first, to be
admitted to the rights of citizenship
and, secondly, to be given "a corner of
land' out of the public domain of the
country which bore the name of her
ancestor. An adverse report, which
soon was made, is one of the curiosi-
ties of congressional literature. 1t eu-
logized the petitioner as "a young, dig
nified and graceful lady, with a mind
Of the highest intellectual culture and
a heart beating with all our own en-
thusiasm in the cause Of American and
human liberty" The reasons why the
prayer of the petitioner could not be
granted were given, but she was COM
mended to the generosity of the Amer
lean people.
''The name of America, our country's
name, should be honored, respected and
cherished in the interesting exile from
whose ancestor we derive the great
and glorious title
Later it was discovered that the wo-
man was an mpostor.-"Perley's Rem
fniscences.''
