PATRIOTIC OLD ACE
Have Pity Fol-. The Man Who Has Out
lived His Usefulness.

Whenever age has stricken from a
man his power Of usefulness and &C
tivty there is demand for human sym
patty. He may be the inmate of a
home of luxury or so placed that his
bodily needs and the companionship of
equals and friends may be all that is to
be desired, still the old man whose
life work has closed and who must sit
idly by and watch the sands in the
hour glass run swiftly out Is an object
of profound consideration and should
be given the veneration that his posi-
tion and past deserve.
OF all human beings who through ad-
vancing yeras or bodily affection have
reached the limit of usefulness man is
the most pitiable. His has been the
work of actual accomplishment. He
has depenped On his strength as a
great fortress and has been lavish in
its use. Unlike the woman or the
child or the mentally and physically
afflicted during life, he has been the
world builder and the home maker.
On his shoulders have rested the great
tasks of life, the creation of a home,
the support of q family and the
achievement of great things in bust
ness and society.
To lay these things all aside at the
behest of times reckoning finger land
the approaching decay IN mind and
body is a tragic thing, however much
we may glorify the peace and calm
that is said to come IN the sunset. days
of life. The old man is largely a
stranger in land made strange by
the absence of many of those with
whom he began the Journey.-Pitts-

At The Colonial Theatre TONIGHT.

Carlyle Blackwell in q delightfully."-
pleasing story Youth and Fatty
Arbuckle in roaring good comedy
His Wedding Night" will be the
splendid attractions at the Colonial

its name implies, story of hot blood
ed, red blooded. fiery youth. The es-
capades of the chief youth in the pic
ture, Brian Goodwin, will bring
chuckles to the lips Of everyone. old
and young. Brian is the son of mil.
lionaire and has all the money he
wants to spend. He spends it in RIO
tous living and ends up in the police
court. His father balls him out and
sends him to construction camp on
the Tennessee River where q dam is
being built. There Brian falls in love
with Jean Elliott, sister of Henry Ell
lott, the superintendent of the con-
struction. Jean is doctor, the only
doctor in the camp and so when B-ian
gets under the influence of liquor SO
completely that his Jap valet feels
that his master is going to die, Jean
is called for. Brian, in his drunken
state, tries to kiss her with the result
that Jean repulses him and tells him
never to speak to her again. Just for
that Brian cuts the hooze for the pur-
pose OF proving that he can make a
man of himself and when he finds that
Henry Elliott has also succumbed to
liquor he braces that individual up and
assumes bis place as superintendent of
the construction The further prog
ress of this story is damned with Incl.
dents. excitement and thrills.

American Red Cross Rendering
Assistance To Russia

As q part of its program for render
ing effective assistance to Russia, the
American Red Cross is to ship at once
to the Red Cross Commission in Rus
sia, headed by DR.. Frank Billings. 125
motor ambulances and automobiles.
This is the third Red Cross shipment
to be dispatched to Russia since the
arrival of the Commission there less
than two months ago. Drugs. medical
supplies and surgical apparatus with
total value of nearly $500, 600, have
already been sent.
Ambulances are needed with the
Russian armies almost more than any
other form Of relief. On the eastern
front there are now only 900 vehicles
fol the transportation of the wounded
while on the French front, only third
in length, there are $1,000 ambu-
lances. The automobiles now being
shipped by the Red Cross will equip
one Russian Army corps with five COM
plete ambulance sections.
Each section will include fifteen
motor ambulances, one auto-bus fJr
transporting slightly wounded, one
kitchen trailer, and one dressing sta
ton car. In addition, each section
will have .wo touring cars for the
use of officers; three light delivery
trucks, one repair car carrying neces-
ssry tools and extra prtsa. and one
extra car for gasoline fuel.
For the present, personnel for ambu-
lance sections will not be sent to Rus
STA but the machines viii be operated
by Russian drivers under the direction
of the Red Cross Should it be neces-
sary later to send American drivers,
they will be recruited from volunteers
in the United States.

Washington, Nov. 3.-RegulatiOn to
pave the way for removal of alcohol
from beer for industrial purposes, and
conversion of the residue into soft
drinks were issued today by Daniel
C. Roper, commissioner of internal

I'VE, over there, have learned what

H[RTl|hC MAY
HAVE SUPPORT
Of ALL PARTIES

Copenhagen, Nov. 3.-Chancellor
Won Hertling evidently will have be-
hind him at the start at least, the
united support of all parties in the
reichstag, except the conservatives
and radical socialists. He will be start
ed on his way with formal vote of
confidence after his speech outlining
his policy.
According to the chancellor's or
gan, the Germania, the reichstag will
be convoked in mid-November, espe-
cially to listen to the declarations OF
the new head of the government. An
Interpolation will be the occasion for
the speech because the rules of the
reichstag permit the members to reg
lister their opinions of the government
after an Interpolation debate.
Berlin political writer's agree in pre-
dieting that Herr Scheidemann and
his socialist followers, who it was
feared, would be withdrawn from for
NAL membership in the majority
block, and also the national liberals,
who never definitely entered it, will
form part of the new coalition major
ity.

Washington, Nov. 3.-A government

cussed for the partial utilization of

President slaglc of University of

SALARY NOT SUFFICIENT

From an original field of G5 posi-.
bic candidates for the presidency of
the University of North Dakota, the
board of regents, wheH it meets at
Grand Forks on Dec, 4, will have five
names from which to make a choice.
At the meeting of the board here this
week committee of the university
faculty, headed by Dean French, re-
ported that the possibilities had been
slfted down to 10, of whom not more
than five might be considered really
available, inasmuch as the others,
even as deans, were receiving a better
salary than the University of North
Dakota pays it's president. President
K. l.. Slagle of the University of South
Dakota, one of the northwest's most
popular educators, was among those
most highly favored, but it was noted
that he is now receiving the same
salary which North Dakota can offer
him, and that there might be no in
ducement for him to desert a state
which has treated him very we'll by
making him successfully head of its
agricultural college, college of mines
and its state university.
Others included in the 10 names
submitted are: Dean K. C. Babcock,
liberal arts, University of Illinois;
Thomas N Carver, dean of agricultur-
al economics, Harvard; L. D. Coffman,
dean of education, University of Min

Berlin, Nov. 3.-The capture Of

The announcement follows:
There have been no further i'm

the present, more than 100000 pris.
oners and more than 1900 guns havo
been enumerated. The booty in ma

NOT UNEXPECTED HERE.
Washington, d. c., Nov. 3.-None of
Pershing's dispatches received by the
war department up to this afternoon
says anything about any American
troops having been captured by the
Germans, but officials have no reason
to doubt the Berlin announcement.
Capture, killing and wounding Of
American troops on the battle front,
they say, will be one of the inevita BILE
fortunes of war. Moreover, the Ger
man high command has appeared very
eager to capture some Americans, and
recently the commander on the front
offered special money rewards and
other inducements to the first German
troops who should take an American
man in uniform.
The units are being hardened to
warfare. there having been night raid

Care for Prisoners.
The government has taken steps to
be assured that American prisoners in
German hands will fare as well as 1t
is possible to arrange it, and, indeed.
their lot may be better than the aver
age. Through the Red Cross at Gen.
eva, Switzerland, the government has
arranged to provide food and clothing
for American prisoners so they may
not be forced to depend upon the in
sufficient and constantly shrinking
bounty of the Germans.

The correspondent succeeded in
boarding an automobile of the last
british Red Cross unit to leave. Il
final look at midnight from the top
OF the Red Cross building found the
eastern horizon was ablaze with con
tinual explosions as the Italians blew
up munition depots and bridges to i'm

screen their own retirement.
The correspondent, describing the
exodus Of the fugitives, says they COM
prised people of all classes-in auto
mobiles, in vehicles OF all epOchs and
OXen-tlriven carts. Some persons
transported their belongings in hand
cars, while others carried them. There
were women with half-naked children
in their arms, and others crying or
beating their breasts because they had
lost their children in the confusion.
Foot passengers made quicker prog
ress than those in motor cars, as the
latter, about every ten yards were
forced to stop for half an hour, owing
to the crush. After six long weary
hours the band of refugees with whom
the correspondent was proceeding, had
made only six miles in rain and a
strong cold wind which chilled every.
one to the marrow.
Pets Not Forgotten.
Even in their haste many persons
carried pets with them. Dogs and even
cats frequently were seen, and a sol.
dier was observed who with great dif
ficulty was keeping his cloak about
him, sheltering a tiny puppy. Some
women in OK carts had geese and
other fowl with them.
