STRAND

The title role of "Arsene Lupin''
the Vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature
which was directed by Paul Scardon
and which is the headliner at the
Strand theatre on today and Thurs
day, offers Earle Williams role
much to his liking.
Perhaps never before in his sue
cessful stage and screen career has
Mr.. Williams created a part that was
more natural-more living and true
to life. He has made the notorious
gentleman crook a characterization
that will live always in the minds Of
his audience.
Just enough daring has been
sprinkIed into the polish and veneer
Of his society manner TO suggest his
true character. Then too, the ego
with which all masters are Credited
is most cleverly portrayed. His in
tense desire to expose himself just so
that he may again escape capture
through some daring scheme is al
ways evident but never firing.
In the role Of "Arsene Lupih", Mr..
Williams proves that he is worthy OF
the praise which has always been ac-
corded him in the photoplay world.

THE GARRICK

Little Lost Sister. Virginia Brooks
enthralling drama. deals with a ques-
ton that is as old as the ages. The
drama also conveys a good moral
lesson and also brings wildly to
mind that Biblical adage namely.

Little Lost Sister, a SeIig Red Seal
play. will be shown today and Thurs
day at the Garrick theater. The
drama seeks to present conditions as
they are to deal delicately but no
less powerfully with an all-absorb-
ing question. What shall be done
with the little lost sisters? What can
we do to bring them again into the
fold? What are the causes which
lead them astray. And the remedy il
limited at Little Lost Sister is a
drama that every mother should take
her daughter to see. II teaches a les
son, a powerful lesson and in so do
ing aids materially in 'the education
of the girls of our land.

that the seniority rule has been fol-
lowed closely except where men in
line for promotion were found want
ing by the board of officers which
made the recommendations TO the
president. The rule laid down by
Secretary Baker for the selection Of
general officers directed that two
major qualifications govern the
board-skill in leading troops in ac-
ton and In training soldiers.
The list Of major generals takes In
virtually all Of the army brigadiers
and includes the only two national
guard officers Of that rank, Gen
erals Organ of New York and
Clements OF Pennsylvania.
The brigadiers are taken. from the
existing list OF brigadiers Of the ma
tionaI guard with a score or more
colonies of that service who are adj
vanced in rank, and Of regular army
colonies from each arm of the ser
vice. To fill out the list of coast ar
tillery appointments two lieutenant
colonies were advanced to brigadier
rank.
All of the commissions are for the
duration of the war only and are in

tional guard divisions will be COM
manded by regular officers
1t is possible that troops of any of
the three branches of the service
may be used in making up any tao
teal unit such as division or a
corps. From the fact that the COM
posite division has been designated
the Forty second, however, it is as
sumed that plans call for the organ

teen of which will correspond close
ly to the sixteen national guard
training camps, sixteen others to the
sixteen national army cantonments
and the remaining eight to be made
up of the expanded regular army
supplemented with selective draft

TREES I'm DANGER
State Forester Warns North Dakota
Growers of Fungus Disease.

Fred w. Smith, state forester, has
distributed for publication, the fol-
lowing notice, which will be of great
value and interest to tree growers
throughout the state:
ITO tree growers in North Dako-
Ia:
our poplars and cottonwoods are
threatened by the presence in our
state of fungus disease known by
it's scientific name as cytospora
shrysosperma. 1t may be readily
recognized by it's appearance on the
trees. 1t looks like scattered patches
of dark red wax lying in the cracks
in the bark. We are anxious to learn
to just what extent ii is prevalent
in the state, and would like to hear
from all tree growers finding this
fungus on their trees. If in doubt,
send in a sample piece Of infected
bark. please inform me how many
of your trees were killed by this last
year, and how many more are still
infected. Prompt action in this mat
ter may make II possible to save
many of our trees"
