 'To our way of thinking, Joan the Woman now stands as the screens most noteworthy production. A mighty theme-this story of the awakening of the peasant girl, her simple faith and her ability to stir the imagination of a whole nation-is handled on the whole, with understanding and intelligence There are scenes of superb photo graphic beauty. There are others with the fire of a patriotic thrill. And, over all, there is Geraldine Farrars human ly drawn portrayal of Joan
 "The screen story, written by Jeanie Macpherson, an actress s-author of the screen movie colony, follows history in i it's essentials. Joan the Woman traces | the story of the peasant girl in the | little town of Domremy to her final | martyrdom by burning. We see the | breeding Joan, the coming of the spir- 1 itual call to deliver her country, her l appearance at the shabby make shift
 court of the weakling Charles VII, her
 electrical appeal to his courtiers and | the march of the newly created army, | led by the girl in white armor, upon | the British forces laying siege to the city of Orleans The story moves swift | ly from the crowning of Charles VII l at Rehims to the ultimate capture of

MINING CONDITIONS
IN COEUR 'ALENES
DEAN THOMSON CONSIDERS THE
GOOD AND BAD
FACTORS

Mining conditions in the Coeur
dAlenes are good bat mine owners
and operators are more than a little
perturbed over recent developments
in their field, according to Dean F. A.
Thomson of the university mining
school, who has just returned from a
trip through the Coeur d'Alene dis
trict with c. A. Wright of the Uni
ted States bureau of mines.
Il found considerable apprehension
among both owners and operators as
to the possible effect of the new rev.
enue law which, viewed from certain
of its angles, may re consi@""ad al
most confiscatory, said Dean Thorn
son today. The recent drop in lead
prices has also caused no little con-
Germ Labor conditions are apparent
ly quite satisfactory
I'VE found throughout the Occur
d.Alenes a most kindly feeling toward
the university. A particularly cordial
interest is being manifested in the
affairs of the new school of mines"
The dean and Mr. Wright went first
to Wallace, where they conferred Fri
day night with q group of owners
and operators in regard to the cooper
ative work which is now being effected
on the university campus.
Saturday was spent at Kellogg in
attendance at a meeting of the Colum-

of Mining Engineers. The Bunker Hill

the afternaan and the evening was de-
voted to a discussion of the applica-

FACE UPWARDS
THIS is THE AMERICAN DEMANDS
MADE UPON THE ALLIES
IN EUROPE

ED L. KEEN, LONDON-Direct and
unequivocal statement of the war aims
of the allies is the big objective be-
hind President Wilson's advocacy of
the proposed inter-allied war council,
the United Press has learned on auth
ority. The American commission here
now will ask that every nation all
throw every card on the table. From
the entire lot the council will select
the basic principles, predicated on
broad huminitarianism, and justifying
the allies claim of being champions
of the small nations. 1t is expected
that such a statement will purge the
allies of the last suspicion of selfish
war aims. 1t would also disarm de-
fensive war, and it would weaken the
German morale.

ONE BRITISH OFFICER
CAPTURES 20 GERMANS

LONDON-In a dense fog, British
officer with an active machlne-gun
looked so much like a tank that 20
German soldiers surrendered to their
lone opponent in one of the recent
Flanders battles.
In the thick of the engagement the
officer rushed hillock 70 or 80 feet
high outside Poelcappelle and began to
spray with his machine-gun a group
of enemy about 80 strong, who were
keeping up sweeping volleys against
the slopes of the rise.
Three of his companions crawled
from hole to hole, bringing him fresh
supplies of ammunition. He quickly
wrecked the hostile advanced post and
the surprised Germans could not be-
Iieve that single man was holding
them in check A dense fog added to
their bewiIderment and fear and one
of them declared he saw tank stand
ing behind the hill.
The others hastened to accept THIS
fable and suddenly 20 German were
seen to raise their arms, crying;
"Kameradl" The embarrassed officer,
to secure his prisoners, had to sum
smon the assistance of another English
section.

GOOD POSITIONS
OPEN TO MECHANICS
FOUR THOUSAND GOOD MEN IN
DEMAND FOR THE BUILDING
OF SHIPS

W.ASTEINGTON-N $4,000 ap-
pointments were made to the forces Of
mechanics, helpers, and laborers al
navy yards and other naval establish
ments during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1917, and since that date ap-
pointments have been made in in
creased proportion.
An appropriation of $7500,00O is
now being expended in the enlarge
ment of the great naval gun factory
at Washington, which, when complet-
ed, will furnish employment for 1000
or more skilled mechanics, in addition
to the 5000 already at work in the
plant. In this mammoth factory, one
of the best equipped and most inter
esting in the world, are built the
great guns for our war vessels,
which carry to every country
the message of Americas ability to
protect herself and to safeguard the
rights of her citizens wherever they
may be.
The new naval aircraft factory at
Philadelphia. which Will be completed
this month will also employ about
5000 men.
The workers who man such plants
are of a superior class, and they feei
a personal pride in turning out prod
ucts that will stand the test OF conflict
with the arms of other nations. A
considerable part Of the building OF
war vessels is also done in govern
ment yards.
The United States civil service COM
mission, which is charged with the
task of recruiting the ranks OF this
great civilian army, through its wide
spread organization is furnishing the
men as they are needed. In certain
trades, particularly those connected
with shipbuilding, there is usually
shortage Sailmakers, coppersmlths,
SHlpllCleTS, dHSleSAilIho,
and machinists are especially needed.
Women to operate power sewing ma
chimes are also in great demand. The
representatives of the civil service
commission at the postoffices in all
cities are the official recruiting agents
for this as we'll as other branches OF
the civil service. The commission
urges competent mechanics to offer
their services to the government at
this time of great need.

trians are among the most active spies

SENATOR RANDALL SAYS
TITS NO TIME FOR POLITICS

f. S. Randall of Lewiston aud Mrs
Randall were visitors in Moscow yes
terday. They came overland in their
car and report the roads in unusually
good condition. An effort to interview
Mr.. Randall on the political situation
in the state resulted in practical
failure. He played an important part
in legislative politics as Republican
leader in the senate last winter and
many have been looking to him to play
an important part in the coming cam
paign; but he insists that just now is
no time for politics of any kind, and
so far as he is concerned personally,
he says he is not in position to take
an active part in state politics under
any conditions.
