WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO.
GATED PRESS.

New York, Jan. 24.-In none of
the war n is any fighting of great
moment in progress. Even in Ru-
mania the belligerents are virtually
at a standstill. there having been only
minor engagements on various sec
tors.
Isolated attacks and counter at
lacks have taken place in Russia, in
the region OF Friedrichstadt, Barano-
vitehi and Koyel, without either side
attaining any important results.
Operations carried out by raiding
parties and reciprocal bombardments
continue to feature the fighting on
the western front. Artillery activi-
ties is still quite spirited at various
points in the region of Verdun and
in the Vosges mountains near Chap
elotte.
A Berlin wireless dispatch says
radio distress signals picked up al
Rotterdam reported a British trans,
port with 1900 men on board had
struck a mine in the English chan.
mel and was sinking. No confirma.
ton of this has been received.

Deadwood, Jan. 24.-From pres

have been stung. Several who 'pur-
chased" slices of the United States in
which to deal in this article have sig
nified that Ii Is nowhere near as re
munerative as the smooth promoters
had led them to believe. 1t is esti-
mated that these promoters sold
at least $4,000 worth of territory
to residents of Deadwood and neigh
boring towns, securing the cash and
moving to other fields. The selling
scheme was a new one. Each pur-
chaser of a chair was given a coupon
book. good at various mercantile
houses in the town, and for each cash
purchase from one OF the designated
firms coupons would be accepted tc
the extent of 5 per cen of the pur
chase. Thus the salesman argued
the chair would cost nothing. as, In
due time, its value would be returned
in discounts. This looked easy. bui
when the home guards got out into
the world they found hat sales were
not as easily made. Much of the
territory" can now be bought at T;

The photoplay, a cry youthful form of stage art, Is sull, in spite
of recent remarkable strides, in a somewhat primitive state, and more
O less cluttered with melodrama.
In filming Ramona" w. II. Clune and the director in immediate
tempts. They rightly conjectured that melodrama would be out of
keeping with the spirit of Helen Hunt Jackson's novel of the California
Mission Indians.
Only two or three times during the course of the photopay does
the tempo speed up into what is known is quick action" N the studio
parlance. In these instances, the action is not forced, but is demanded
by the incidents and spirit of the story. The first employment of
quick action" comes with the driving OF the Indians from their homes
by the white invaders and the burning of their humble huts. Again
the pulse" of the play quickens when the brutal Jim Farrar rides up
to lessandros hut, calls the poor, crazed Indian out, ana shoots MIN
down N cowardly cold blood.
