AMUSE MEN rs.
At the Strand,


In its title" The Jaguar's Claws"
the photoplay that opens the week at
the Strand, gave promise of thrills
enough to satisfy any one. It fulfills
its promise. 1t is melodrama Of high
class. albeit of the old-time variety.
Besides it's villainy and some gore. the
story has in it characters and incidents
that are very pleasing. The scene is
laid in Mexico near the Texas border.
The "Jaguar" is a bandit Of approved
makeup. The part shows the Jap
anese actor, Sessue Hayakawa, in his
latest bit Of work. He has improved
wonderfully and in this part he re-
yeals histrionic quality of high class.

nothing a soldier enjoys so much as
his mail, especially from the home

Hill was among the first of the
troops to march thru the streets of
London and his description of the &C.
casion leaves nothing to be desired in
the way our allies treat the represen-

ton he states that the appearance of
American troops in the streets was
hailed with rejoicing, and at every
stop in the march the people literally
dragged our men from line in their
efforts to extend a fitting welcome
The end of the parade was marked. by
a dinner served by the Red Cross,

While he was laughing and sing
ing, and running and playing, he lost
his little cap with the golden feather
in it. But he was SO happy and gay
that he did not care, thinking he could
find it again when the sun was going
down and il was time for him to go
home. By and by when the sun did
go down, and it became so dusl1y that
he could run and play no longer he
thought he would find his little cap
But search as he might, he could not
find it, and the tears came into his
wee bright eyes. He puzzled for a
long time as to just what he should
do, and then a very happy thought
came to him. He had lost his cap with
the golden feather. but he would take
in place of it a golden dandelion. This
he did with all speed. and placed it
upon his head and there it stayed.
Now he runs around thru all the fields
among all the dandelions, but we can
not tell which one he is.

Harry E. Hope Writes Mother
of Life at Front.

Three weeks after enlisting in the
14th Railway Engineers. Harry E.
Hope, formerly of Topeka, set sail
for France to take his place behind
the line of the French army in the
field. Hope, now 81 years old, grad
uated from Topeka high school, where
he starred on the football and basket
ball teams. He attended Kansas State
Agricultural college at Manhattan
and went east from there to accept
a position with the New York City
railway. At the time of his enlist
ment he was employed by the New
York, New Haven & Hartford railroad
at New Haven, Conn. He enlisted at
New Haven in July and three weeks
later sailed for France on the White
Star liner Adriatic. Two weeks were
consumed in passage on account of
the zigzag course taken to avoid the
submarine menace.
According to a letter to his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Hope of 202 Davies
street, young Hopes regiment took
part in the American military parade
! in London, passing in review before
King George. After moving back and
forth over England, the 14th was or
dered to France, where it took over a
narrow gauge munitions railroad
serving the French army
Saw Big Air Battle
Shortly after arrival in France Hope
was assigned to detail working near
the front lines. On this occasion he
witnessed an air battle-"A Fritzie
sneaked up over the English line"
he writes. They were shooting at it
from the trenches, then about ten
English planes came up from the air
drome behind US and gave chase but
the Taube got away"
American troops are welcomed
with delight by the soldiers of the al
lies and nothing seems to give the
+ Canadians, Australians and genuine
Tommies more pleasure than a rag
! chewing fest with the new arrivals.

cerned our boys very readily pick UP
