Of the work. the reports of the various
theater managers showed that the audi
ences were pleased with the style of
picture shown.

play tells how soldier of the revolu-
tion who has given his life for freedom
comes back to life in the twentieth CEN
tury and finds that the modern Ameri-
cans little appreciate the efforts of
their forefathers to found a great ma
fion and that an industrial slavery
exists. At the Circle Theater yester-
day at both performances the audience
rang America" before the showing of

Colonel J. S. Dennis, commanding

Canadian subjects of military age in

ing to inside information from the
capital
If Canadian or Briton declines
service in the American army, he may
be deported to his native land where
he automatically becomes available
for service there under their conscrip-
ton laws, now effective. The British
recruiting mission is making it's ap.
peal to men who will be available un-
der this new legislation.
Choose Branch Of Service.
The Spokane office at W603 Sprague
avenue daily is receiving enlistments
of young Canadians and Britons who
do not care to wait until they are
drafted. BY enlisting at the present
time, the recruit can not only desig.
nate the branch of the service In which
he wishes to be affiliated but can des-
ignate the regiment so far as the Can
adam army Is concerned. Squads are
leaving Spokane almost daily for Cal
gary where they are mustered into
service, transportation and expenses
being furnished by the Spokane Office
for all men passed by the medical Of
