This presentation Of the life of the worlds great
Queen leaves the BeIasco Theater and Washington

To see this picture Is an education and an inspir

world knows, al the poets have described al others

When William Fox sought to reproduce the
courts the ctes the battle the desert and
the water just Cleopatra knew them, these things
were necessary.
He spent great fortune.
He utilized the services of thirty thousand human
beings and three thousand horses.
He built feet of eighty ships that burn TO the
waters edge before your eyes, the hosts Of Antony
and Octavan and the Orentals of Cleopatra fight des-
perately hand to hand.
But above all the excitement of battle, of death,
and of the ambitions of stands out the powerful
passion of the GREAT CLEOPATRA
Her story, told from childhood, when she cap
tured Caesar to the last moment IN this picture when
the poisonous serpent ends her life and frees her from
sIavery-that Is the life that every woman would
know the life that appeals strongly IN its terrific power
and passion to the entire human race
1t is the lives Of ten thousand women crowded
into one.
If you have not seen this picture, and IN Ii won
derfu course followed the stransest life of the most
powerful woman produced on earth, you have missed
an evening of great pleasure intense excitement and
high educational possibilities.

Alarmingly deficient in mil itary aviation at the begin ming of the present war, the United States is now striving to take first place in thiS yery important branch of modern warfare. Under the direc- tion of the Aircraft Produc tion board, the latent air re- sources of the country are be- ing developed rapidly and in a very short time hundreds of our aviators and aircraft should be making history a. bove the battletields of Eu- rope. A number of American airmen are already operating in France and many more are receiving instruction.
 Three of the aviation fields which were planned by the war department are already under construction and it is believed that five hundred avi- atOrS will be stationed on the several fields before the end of this month. The course of instruction will cover a period of four months, after which the graduates will be sent to France, where they will rc- ceive additional training md er the direction of French in structors, using French ma chimes.
 The United States has se cured a site in France for an aviation field which is to be a duplicate of the American standard twO-squadron field This American field on the other side of the Atlantic is to be entirely a product of brains and Ameri- can energy. The material is to be shipped from the United States and the buildings will be constructed by an Amcrl- can contracting firm.

THE RAILROAD WORK

Everyone in Interior Alaska
 will welcome an opportunity
 to assist the employees of the Alaskan Engineering commits sion to secure an increase in the wage scale. We all realize
 that the cost of living in this country, as the result of the
 recent frequent advances in the price of food and clothing,
 has become a serious problem, and that q worker in the em-
 DlOv of the commission does not have a very large stake at the end of the working season.
 But it is a question if the men have gone about it in the right way to secure results. It is a question if an organization, such as is contemplated, will be able to get action as speed ily as an ordinary committee, in view of the fact that there does not appear to be any press ing need for organization at this time. If those in authority at Anchorage and Washington can be moved by an appeal for more money the increase can be obtained by a commit tee of unOrganized workers as quickly as by a committee of labor. If those in authority can not be persuaded to add further to the cost of constructing the Interior end of the railroad, no amount of organizing or striking will get the desired raise. The work will simply be abandoned ill this division until such time as the rails can be laid from the other end.
 It should be remembered by all employees of the commits sion in this division that the work of building the railroad was started, not because the wanted It or ncod- ed it, but because the people of Interior Alaska asked for it as an aid to the development of their mineral deposits nd agricultural lands. It required a lot of persuasion to get the work started, and more per to induce the chair man of the commission to au- thorize the expenditure of suf ficient funds to build the road from this end, where the cost of construction is about forty per cent greater than it is on the coast end.

THE WAR AND OUR FLAG

War is a terrible thing! War is indeed hell! And if such a thing were possible, the present struggle in which most of the na- tons of the world are engaged is more hellish than any which has ever preceded it. Yet we are in it-forced to fight, as Secretary of the Interior Lane puts it, Ito save America, to preserve our self re- spect and to justify our right ot live as we have lived, not as some one else wishes Us to live" We arefighting because continuedpeace would mean the loss of all that our forefathers have bequeathed to us-our democracy. and all that democracy means. We are fight ing not only to retain our own lib- erty, but to insure as we'll the sta bility of those smaller nations of the world who have not strength to protect themselves. We have been challenged by nation which does not believe as we do: one which does notrecoenize our rights or the rights of any nation but it. self. We have seen our ships pulled down by the ruthlessness ot that nations lust for world pow CT in contradiction to- all established rules of civilized warfare. We have seen the efforts which were made to involve us in a war with Mexico and Japan. We have seen the paid agents of an unfriendly power striving to foment unrest and se- dition within our borders. We saw all these things and stood for them as long as we could-much longer, perhaps, than we should. And we have entered the war. not tor material gain, but because. as Secretary Lane again remarks,
 II IS more precious that America shall live than that Americans shall live"
 And now that we are in the war we must devote ourselves, our lives if need be, to the serious task ot winning. We must give our government that support which a democratic government has a right to expect from its citizens. There must not be any dissension or un- willingness to render such assist anCe as may be needed. We must stand united. with but a single purpose and loyal to but one flag the flag of our country, the em- blem of liberty and equality.
 In struggle of such magnitude a lack of loyalty to the Stars and Stripes amounts to very serious offense. It betokens lack of ap-

" S-oOb pii NAit l'ttA of the commission, but it has helped the people of Interior Alaska a lot by putting a amount of money in circulation. The money that has been spent here has, in fact, been very much in the nature of a gift to Northern CTS. It has helped all of us over a period of coma of most uninviting aspect. Without it we would have been in a sorry plight by now.
 The wage scale was some what of a disappointment from the start, but it was accepted because the government. at that time, could not be induc- ed to pay more; because the money was sure. much Surer than the wages in the mines 1; and because the work was not of the killing variety, common to other parts of the territory.
 It was accepted also, because AlaSkans were willing to make sacrifices in order that the construction of the railroad might be haStened. The same conditions still exist. in a de- gree, and should the present appeal for more money fail to get results 1t may be the bet ter part of wisdom to take what is offered rather than force a suspension of opera tions altogether. We are not dealing with corporation
 which is making a profit on our labor and which must have that labor to exist. We are dealing with the govern ment, engaged in an enter prise which many Eastern and at least some Western congressman view with disfav- OF because of the unusual cost of construction and the un- certainty, as they view it, of results to be obtained after the railroad is completed. They would not hesitate to vote to abandon the undertaking, at least until the end of the war. and it should be remembered in this connection, that it is still within the power of the lawmakers to stop the work, inasmuch as final action on the bill carrying our appro- priation has not yet been talk en. In any case, the real in tereSt of the government and the other members of the Al askan Engineering commission does not extend beyond the Matanuska coal fields; beyond that point it is largely, if not a matter of local in fluence to keep the work go ing. It will be simple mat ter to stop the work, but it is thing to start it again.
 These are the things that should receive serious cOnsid- aratiOn before the matter of wages and OrOaniZatiOn have
