AT THE LYRIC.

The Lyric offers two special fea-
lures in pictures this week, the first
of which is Monday and Tuesday.
THE Argyle Case" featuring Robert
Warwick, is an adaptation of the
stage production of the same name,
and which was such a success
throughout the country. and enjoyed
a tremendous run in New York. 1t
is essentially a detective story, but
having a strong love interest woven
into it. 1t is staged under the crit
icism of the greatest of living detec-
tives, VIM. j. Burns. He passed up
on all the features of mystery in the
film production, and when he says
that a detective feature is developing
a mystery, and the unravelling of the
plot includes all the elements woven
into the story as it progresses-well,
that is a detective story that the pub
lie will want to see.

WANTS Recognition
SOUTH DAKOTA WOULD HAVE AT
LEAST ONE MILITARY ORGAN
IZATION BEAR THE
STATES NAME.

Pierre, Dec. Gov. Norbeck in
an interview in regard to the mill
tary situation, says every local South
Dakotan regrets as much as the boys
at camp that at present no part of the
state volunteer organization is being
recognized as a distinct South Dakota
unit. The governor said:
"A large number of the boys have
been incorporated into the Minnesota
regiment to bring it up to numerical
J strength. Neither of the volunteer
organizations as they left for the
camp was near large enough to make
a regiment as now required by the
military regulations. We feel a mix
ed regiment composed of South Da-
kota and Minnesota volunteers might
better have been known as a South
Dakota unit for Minnesota has ether
volunteer regiments. We have not
yet given up and believe that the war
department will rectify it soon as
possible.
IT have done everything in my
power to have one organization des-
ignated as a South Dakota organiza-
ton. / lave written and wired the

November Is la that the arrangement
was necessary for the good of the
service. / wired the commanding
general at Camp Cody, but to my tel
egrams have received no reply.
have had the matter up with the con-
g%ressional delegation and it is my
opinion that every member has done
everything he could. Several of
them have recently gone to Wash
ington and will be able to press the
matter in person.
Some time & / SEN a represent
alive in the person of Hon. James E.
Mather, OF Watertown, to Camp
Cody. He met with all the officers
and men, also with the commanders
in charge and while he could not get
much satisfaction out of them. he is
of the opinion that our boys will yet
be organized into a South Dakota
unit. His report to me is now in
Washington.
For some time / have contem-
plated going to Washington to pres
ent the matter in person to the secre-
tary OF war. IL / do not get a salts
factory reply / expect to start Friday
or Saturday, SO as to be there Mon
day and believe that with the assist
ance of the congressional delegation
the desired change can be secured.
mo South Dakotan in the service
or outside the service would in any
way want to embarrass the war de-
partment in getting an army to the
front at the earliest possible moment
and I hope that at least one of these
units may be known and recognized
as a South Dakota unit and that this
may be composed of as many of oul
boys as possible"

LY RIO

tured in "The Worlds Greatest
Snare" a story of a young man try
ing to establish his identity as the
heir of an English earl. He listens
while the woman whom he thinks is
his dying mother passes away, then
starts out for America in search of
the papers. His adventures in the
west are shown in a wealth of detail,
from the moment of his arrival to
the winning of the girl.
The second special feature of the
week is for Thursday and Friday,
when that intensely pathetic and pa
%triotic story by Edward Everett Hale,
The Man Without a Country" is
screened. 1t starts in the present
when the young man declares that
he is a pacifist, and damns the Unit
ed States, losing his sweetheart by
his action. An old friend of his
fathers gives him the famous book,
and as he reads it the story of the
unfortunate Lieut.. Phillip Nolan,
tried and sentenced in 1907 to never
| see or hear of his country again for
a like reasonable u%tterance, comes
before him. The life of that unhap-
by man is shown from the time of his
treason until his repentant death.
Saturday is presented The Mar
cellini Millions" featuring George
Beban. This story is of the usual
good line of feature presented by the
management Of his show house. and
the patron will be pleased at the un-
raveling of the plot.

BOY Who MADE GOOD
SOUTH DAKOTA MAY BE PROUD
OF CAPT. COACHER, OF
MITCHELL.

Mitchell, Dec. Harvey Coacher,
of Mitchell, is in France with the
American forces sent over there to
battle with the Huns to make the
world safe for democracy" He
went with Gen. Pershing's first
troops and now probably is close up
behind the British or French lines.
But it is not plain Harvey Coacher
now. 1t is Capt. Harvey Coacher.
His attainment of that title gives
great pleasure to many Mitchell peo-
pie and people in other parts of the
state, for they know his attainment
of the title did not come by chance
nor through the influence of promi-
nent friends. They know he has
mounted to that position because of
his real worth and energy, because he
has shown himself proficient, the real
army man and soldier that he is.
Harvey Coacher's mother is a
widow. He is the oldest Of several
children. He has worked since he
was a mere child and aided his moth
er in caring for the other children.
He was ambitious for an education.
He graduated from the Mitchell high
school, in which,institution he was a
leader in debating and where he made
his mark as a football player. Then
he entered college at Dakota Wesley
an, working to pay his way.
1t was while ne was in college last
year that he was called to the Mex
lean border with the Fourth South
Dakota infantry. He went out as a
sergeant and came back home last
winter as first lieutenant of Company
F, OF Mitchell. Now he is a captain
and Mitchell people are confident he
will go still higher in rank as oppor-
tunity offers for him to display his
ability and fighting spirit.

AUTO FATALITY
SIOUX FALLS POLICEMAN KILL
ED WHEN AUTO TURNS
TURTLE.

Sioux Falls, Dec. might Cap
tain Marion Wamsley, of the local
police force, was killed about 6
o'clock last evening when his auto
mobile which he was driving from
Hartford to Sioux Falls turned turtle
and caught Mr. Wamsely beneath
the car. Just how the accident oc-
Cured will never be known as there
were no eye witnesses to the accident.
Mr.. Wamsley some days ago was
driving the car back to Sioux Falls
from Ipswich, but was forced to leave
it at Hartford. He went to the latter
place yesterday afternoon to drive
the car home. He had reached a
point IL miles west of Sioux Falls
when the accident occurred. The car
was of the heavier type and just how
it could meet with such an accident
is something Of a mystery. The indi-
cations are that when he approached
a culvert he had struck a raise in the
road which threw the driver out of
control of the ear and that it hurled
into the ditch and turned turtle.
When he was found and removed
from under the car he was dead and
his chest had been crushed by the
car falling on him. 1t is believed
that he was killed instantly.
A passing motorist observed the
wreck and on making an investiga-
ton found Mr.. Wamsely in the con-
dition mentioned above. Coroner
Trepanier was notified and went out
to the scene of the accident and
brought the body back to the city.

French never ceases to marvel at the Scotchmen in their khaki tunics, plaid kilties and bare knees. The Scots who were in the long brown line on this particular day had a small but vigorous pipe band with them and the Highland music delighted the passing Poilus.
 And to the British the French soldier is magnificent. Tall and stall wart men rode and marched in the blue line that passed the brown. Many of them had been in the fighting since the first days of the German invasion, but the more than two years of the hardships of war apparently had made no inroads upon their magnificent physique. Strong and clean limbed they were, some of them fiercely bearded despite the serio-comicukase of few months ago that the beard of the Poilu must go. But without a I'd RdUi" would e1cease to be a 'f61lu. All were splashed with the in- evitable mud of the broken battle fields. The horses, looking warm and happy in their long winter coats, were fairly covered with mud as well.
 Something about the spectacle re minded one of the Civil war days, in America. Perhaps it was the old linn Der wagons in the line. They tried other sorts of more modern wagons at the beginning of hostilties in Flu rope. but soon the old limbers came hack into their own
