"The Captain of the Grey Horse
Troop" is the first Hamlin Garland
story to reach the screen. The photo
drama, which comes to the Liberty
theater on Tuesday, has unusually pic
turesque qualities. Writing with the
purpose of presenting the problems Of
the American Indian, Mr.. Garland hit
upon charming romance.
The story in brief follows: Captain
George Curtis, of the Grey Horse Troop
is detailed to Tetong reservation as
agent to displace the cruel, depressing
Sennett. Curtis believes that the In
dams can be developed, educated and
made happy by kindness. He finds the
settlers, cowmen and sheep herders an
tagonistic. They want the land for graz
ing their stock.
Elsie Brisbane, daughter of ex-Sen-
ator Brisbane, is staying at the agency
to paint Indian pictures. The displaced
agent, Sennett, is her uncle, and nat
urally she comes to think Curtis unfair
in ejecting the man. But, as Curtis goes
steadily forward in his plans, she is
made finally to realize how right he
has been. The settlers provoke trou-
BILE, an Indian kills herder who at
tempts to insult his wife, and mobs
threaten the reservation. Curtis arrests
the murderer, convoys him to the near
by jail, averts the mob rule and, in the
end, wins not only triumphant acclaim
for his theories, but Elsie as well.

Bad For The Irish.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 20.-An aggres.
sive alliance between the Industrial
Workers of the World and the Pearse
Connolly club, a radical Irish home rule
organization, is the most menacing as
pect of Butte s labor troubles today.
James Larkin l. w. w. leader, is
known to have had several conferences
recently with officers of the Irish or
ganization. Much secrecy surrounds the
conference and the plans of the two
organizations.
The Pearse Connolly club was much
opposed to the United States entering
the war ON the side Of England, staged
an anti-draft demonstration early in
June and opposes the government at
every turn.
Edward Byrne, Jr., agent of the de-
partment of justice for this district, and
his representatives are gathering evil
dence to deal swiftly and severely with
instigators in Montana and the north
west.
Montana district attorneys were in
structed to prosecute Immediately those
men whose activities could be construed
as hostile to the government.
Larkin did not leave for Portland to
direct the general walkout last night as
he announced he would. He is extreme
ly busy here working quietly. Authori-
ties are watching him closely.

mud turtles lumber and creak through
the bogs, splitting red flame from their
mud-encrusted guns and creating panic
wherever they operate.
One lone tank today reported the
capture of sixty Germans near st. Ju-
lien.
While wallowing along to the enemy
line, the monster encountered one of
its kind stopped by a direct hit from
a German anti-tanK gun.
The uninjured charged the gun and
literally smashed il out Of commission.
Eight Germans were captured here and
turned back to the advancing British
infantry. The same tank, creeping
along, aided in the capture of Pom
mern redoubt and Pommern castle. 1t
crossed the deep cut marking the re-
doubt and sent word back that it was
clear of the enemy. Meanwhile another
tank crashed its way through the castle
defenses, while the Germans fled pre-
cipitately. Advancing infantry found
the defenders massed in the redoubt
position which the first tank had clear
ed.
More tanks were summoned -Four
slid roaring over the redoubt and took
lit, the Germans surrendering. Then 1T
was discovered that the defenders had
first fled from the redoubt to the cas-
tie and then back from the castle to
the redoubt. There was no other place
to flee to after the redoubt was for
the second time under attack, since the
first tank which had reported the re-
doubt clear, had covered the rear. All
prisoners frankly confessed their PAN
ic at the steel monsters.
Tanks Cross Canal
Crossing of the Apres canal by these
tanks-under constant shell fire and
gas clouds-was one of the great feats
of the war But the secret of how it
was done will not be told until the
war is over.
The monstrous strength of the giant
turtles creates constant amazement.
One tank encountered huge fully Ia
den motor lorry, stuck in a ditch. 1t
stopped and obligingly hitched the
front axles on a big chain. Then it
/ numbered ahead. There was a crash and
lyells of dismay from the lorry driver.
The tank had pulled out the front
wheels, the motor and part of the
chassis.
One tank, running without lights
lcrashed into railway engine, knock
ing it off the track. The tank 5 crew,
not bit dismayed, promptly went over
and pushed the engine back on the
rails again, sending it off putting con-
tentedly.
British Tommies have named the
monsters curiously. One encounters
such names as ''Gog, Ariadne, Belize
bub, Bloodstone, Black Arrow, Bally
Haekle, Coquette, Crusader and Con
dolier"
This latter tank s crew had a good
laugh at the expense of German aero
plane. The flyer tried to fight the
great numbering caterpillar. 1t swoop-
ed and dueked and ratified great sheets
of bullets. All ratified harmlessly
against the tank s impervious hide.
Then the aeroplane gave up In dis
gust.
