in ample portion to the outside

The spelling contest lasted for
half hour, with four of the original
left standing These four came
back again, and lasted for briefer
period, the last two remaining,
Leon Bishop and Glenn Bringle-
son, both missing the same word
and spelling again to break the tie,
when Leon won.
In the defamation contest, Gen
eyieve Addington secured first with
a numerous piece to which she was
well suited and rendered well nigh
perfectly. Miss Lillian Fowler
took second honors, reciting the
Famine" from Hiawatha, a COM
position for which she was well
suited, and interpreted with rare
fidelity to the idea of the author
The other two were Cecil Snyder
and Agnes Worsfold. Cecil speaks
with all the dignity Of a youth
much older, and with a few more
years will make good speaker for
anything serious and intellectual

parently embarrassed by an audi.

facing, but when this wore off, she
grew in her hold on the audience,
the words came freely, the sing

Or. Af Walker Writes to Tell What Y.M. C. A.
 Is Doing For the Boys

Now we approach the religious side of the |. NJ c. A. have purposely left this for last place, because l find that many civilians are misinformed on this part of the work In the army branch of the I. M. C. A. the religion is there with capital E but 1t is not compulsory. Bible classes are organized and are open to anyone wishing to attend, but the fellow who does not desire to attend Is still just as welcome and no attempt is made to make him feel persona non grata.
 If this policy were not followed I ven- ture to say that the Influence for good would suffer. It has been my observa- ton that lot can be done for a boy if you lead him with an invisible string, but attempt to drive him to it and he will balk immediately. This is especial ly true of the soldier
 You won't find such signs as "No smoking" "No loud talking" etc In fact a boy entering one of these places does as he pleases so long as he does not interfere with his neighbor.
 The Red Cross and the Y. NJ. c. A. are the two great channels through which the home folks can give to the army. Both fill a separate and distinct place and are equally important The difference is that the Red Cross is de- signed to mitigate suffering and conse-
 quently the boys have to get sick or be wounded to appreciate what it does for him. All of the boys hope that the time Will not come when he needs the atten- tfon of the Red Cross and I'll venture to say that nine-tenths of them are confident that they will never need it's services In fact a soldier never thinks he will be sick or wounded. Casualty | lists and morbidity statistics mean noth- ] ing to him.
 l The Y. M c. A., on the contrary, l looks after the healthy and the familiar
 red triangle is ever before the soldiers | eys as a reminder that they are there
 to make their hours off duty pleasant 1 CT and enjoyable.
 1 I have written far more than I in- tended when I started this letter to you
 and I am afraid I have let my enthu-
 siasm run away with me.
 1 You can use this letter as you see fit
 in your campaign and If it makes some
 one loosen up and "come through" liberally 1t will have fulfilled it's mis- sion.
 ! With best wishes for yourself and your committee, I am,
 Yours very truly 1 ALFRED A. WALKER, First Lieut. Medical Reserve Corps.

DAUGHTER OF THE
 GODS" AT ALCAZAR
Million Dollar Annette kelIerman Picture Here for Entire
 Week

The fan1ouS Annette Keilerman S1.oo Vce picture, "A Daughter of the Gods. ' VIII be presented at the AIcazar theatro for an entire week, beginning next Suh- cay And it is expected to repeat the tremendous success which it has had at every place where shown.
 Daughters of the Gods is mas terpiece of art, and the frequent scenes In the nude are as graceful and free rom suggestion as the rarest paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of art.
 The new picture, which was about a year in the making, is totally different from anything else that has been done in the movies
 Two birds are in love, are killed and are reborn, one as Anita, daughter of the gods, and the other as Prince Omar, who is greeted by the sultan as the boy who was drowned 20 years be- fore Brought ashore by the mermaids, Anita is captured. sold into slavery and meets the prince in this new life. The love of their bird day existence comes again.
 Through the connivance of the sultan S fhvorlte. Zarrah, and the witch of bad :
 
 who turn to swans as they are about to eat her. The prince is sent to prison and later tied to sea covered rock to die.
 Anita, captured by the gnomes of the witch of badness, is saved by her good Friend. the fairy of goodness, who makes the snomes treat her us friend Simple and sweet as the compellins love story is, there is series of huge scenes shown with such rapidity that the enormous cost of making this film is readily understood. Tho clashing of the two armies is a rare piece of work that promises to hold the audience breathless Another big scene is when Anita, tc escape the sultan, rushes to the top of the prison tower and dives far out into the sea, to be followed by a band oi black slaves whose amazingly fast swim ming Is one of the very interesting spots of tine picture.
 In the scene in which she makes friends of the gnomes Miss kellermar has her greatest opportunities to show her great aquatic skill. The picture Is filled with sensations and it has many sided appeal. The fairy story side of II will tickle the kiddies and the love element will appeal to grown-ups. The remarkable dexter ity of Miss Kellerman has been the talk of the country.

HERBERT
 OPTIMISTIC AS ID
 RUSSIA'S FUTURE
Alabamian, One Time Sec retary of Navy, Expresses Confidence in Patriot
 ism of Slavs
Nv HIGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, November 14-tspecial
 Hope for Russia is still entertained by Hillary A. Herbert of Alabama, former
 secretary of the navy.
 There is only one other revolution of sufficient magnitude" he said. -'to
 justify q comparison. For three or four
 years France fought France. But every
 Frenehman was animated by imperisha-
 ble liberty. Finally, under the leader
 ship of Napoleon, these same French-
 men, comprising the greatest armies of
 the world, overran Europe. It is true
 that Napoleon was the greatest genius
 the world has produced. Yet he could
 not have achieved without his men
 whose effort was inspired through love
 of freedom and equality. There is hope for Russia. Russians,
 among themselves, are fighting a holy war, war for relief against countless years of oppression. As soon as they re restored to a form of organization, their new found liberty may find ex- pression in the prowess of their arms against autocratic Germany Asked why in his opinion, Germany,
 having all but crushed Russia, was now in an attitude of "hands-off." Colonel l Herbert replied:
 Germany. since the beginning of the war, has been guided by statesmen and military leaders par excellence. From a course of oppression, it could achieve nothing of material advantage in Russia. 1 On the cotnrary, display of mercy may ] have an important bearing on the future activity of the war party in Russia. It is well for Americans to remember that in addition to great soldiers, this country is opposed to great political lead ers And the one is as rcdoubtable as | the ether"
 | Colonel Herbert's expression of hope ! in the recovery of Russia and it's re- sumption of anti-Germany activity is
 shared by President Wilson. It Is said ! that the President has never lost con- l idence in Kerensky's ability to stem the l tide.
