Fraud in Teachers, Examin alton.

For alleged fraud in the recent ex-
animation of applicants for teachers
certificates, T. H. Harris, state super
intendent of education, has revoked
the certificates of two Louisiana
teachers, and will blacklist" them to
prevent their obtaining positions as
teachers in any of the schools Of the
state. The teachers are G. 0. Holt,
of Rapides parish, principal of
county school near Pineville, and j:
Peavy, Vernon parish, principal OF
the Hicks school. Evidence gathered
by Mr.. Harris, after an extensive IN
vestigation, is alleged to have shown
that Peavy took the teachers exan1l-
nation in New Iberia under Holt's
name and earned a certificate

The double achievement of stock
brokers' clerk, in saving a railroad
president from ruin and winning the
presidents daughter for his wife, pro-
vides the many-thrilled story of "The

its Mardi Gras attraction.
The president, going into the wilds
for rest, is kidnapped by hirelings of
the broker, and the young man has
the task of holding up the stock of his
railroad during violent raid by the
schemers. With the girls aid he ac-
complishes his task, and winds up by

Somewhere in France. =

A Triangle photoplay of far more
than ordinary power and dramatic
force~is Somewhere in France with
fascinating Louise Glaum in the prin-
cipal role, which comes to the Gem
next Friday.
Marie Chaumontel, daughter of a
German spy, becomes a spy herself
through sheer love of intrigue and ad-
venture. Possessed of subtle
charm, she is en1inently fitted for the
work assigned to her by her employ
ers, which is to inveigle military Sc
crets from susceptible young French
officers.
Her first victim is her lover, Henri
Ravignac, from whom she steals valu-
able plans of the outer defenses of
Paris, leaving him to face court
martial and ruin. Condemned, Henri
can not bear the disgrace, ending his
life as soon as his sentence is pro-
nounced. Before his death, he con-
fides the. identity Of his betrayer to
his brother Charles, who vows to pur-
sue the spy to the ends of the earth
and rescue the family name from dis
honor.
Number 172 of the German Secret
Service is on duty in France with her
aids, Madame Benet and Paul Anfossi,
an italian soldier of fortune. They
are charged with dangerous mission.
Under forged French passports they
are to occupy an abandoned chateau
and keep the German troops informed
as to the strength and position of the
enemy.
They are to pose as refugees, Marie
as the Countess d'Aurillac, Madame
Benet as her aunt, and Paul, who is
equipped with wireless apparatus,
as BRAND, her faithful servant and
chauffeur. The Germans are in re-
treat and the French will soon occupy
the chateau. The instructions are
that the three spies shall remain and
learn all they can from the French,
such information being conveyed to
the German staff by Paul via wireless.
The chief also informs Marie con-
fdentially that if Paul is detected at
his work he is to be sacrificed without
compunction.
Installed in the chateau, Marie
greets her adopted compatrlots with
enthusiasm, the officers becoming her
devoted slaves, and even General An
DIRE. marshal of the division, treating
her with consideration.
While she is busily engaged in
cleaning information and transmit
ting it, through Paul, to German
headquarters, certain Captain
Thierry arrives and insists on taking
Marie to Paris, claiming, to the spy's
embarrassment, an old friendship
with the Count d'Aurillac, who has
sent him as her escort. At the mo-
ment when Captain Thierry and the
supposed countess are leaving for
Paris Paul is discovered working his
wireless, and is promptly denounced
bv Marie. The general displays but
small surprise, and as the carriage
with Captain Thierry and Marie is
wheeling out Of the courtyard, intro
duces the spy to his staff as Captain
Charles Ravignac, one of the bravest
men IN France, who has devoted his
life to the service Of his country and
the destruction Of the German spy
system.
Marie and her companion arrive IN
Paris, where, instead of driving her
TO the Grand Hotel, he lodges her IN
the Prison of st. Lazare.

stThe PAYMENT"

"The Payment, "a superb Thos. r..
lnce production in which Bessie Bar
riscale and William Desmond will
appear today at the Gem, is a problem
play that deals with the ambitions of
a country girl who aspires to fame
and fortune. She comes to big city,
and after encountering many hard
ships she decides to make COM
promises with the established moral
laws.
She meets man who is willing to
help her climb the ladder of fame as
an artist, but he exacts payment
which she at the time considers but
a trif1e. In later years her distorted
ideas of social values come back to
their true focus. When she meets
man she really loves she is face to
face with very difficult problem.

MILITARY DUTY COMPULSORY.
Governor and Sheriffs May Draft Men
for the Array in Louisiana.

@"AS 81 4
There has been much talk through
out the country recently about con-
scription for military duty, but there
are probably few Louisianians who
know that conscription is already pro-
vided for in this state by legislative
enactment, without the declaration of
war which the constitution Of the
United States provides for.
The draft is mentioned in several
sections Of the militia act, No. 264 of
1916, and section makes this provi-
sion:
"That whenever it shall be neces-
sary to call out any portion of the
unorganized militia for active duty,
existence of war is not mentioned),
the governor may apportion the num-
Der by draft according to the popula-
ton of the several parishes Of the
state or otherwise, as he may direct.
The governor shall direct his order to
the sheriff of each parish from which
any draft is required, setting forth
the number of persons each parish is
to furnish.
"Upon the requisition by the COVER
nor being received by the sheriff, the
latter shall Immediately personally
notify the clerk of court, who shall
repair to his office, and in public shall
copy, by number and name, from the
corrected list of enrolment of such
parish on file in his Office, all persons
who are SO returned as liable to mill.
tary duty, which slips are to be placed
in box and drawn as jurors are now
drawn All persons SO drawn shall be
liable to military duty, and the sheriff
shall notify them at. what time and
place they shall report.
ssThe drafted man may furnish a
substitute, but if the substitute be
subsequently drawn he shall take the
substitutes place"
There are exemptions from mill
tary service under this law, but they
are not numerous. They consist Of
the vice-president of the United
States, judges and men necessary to
the machinery of the courts, men nee
essary to the arsenals, munition fac
tories and the like, and certain per-
sons engaged in transportation.
This law is, perhaps, unlike any
other ever enacted in this country
for the reason that the governor may
make the draft whenever in his judg.
ment troops are required for any pur.
| pose whatever. The constitution oil
the United States makes every able
| bodied man subject to military dutz
in time of war, but makes no provi
sion for conscription in time Of peace
/ whereas the Louisiana law makes n,
/ distinction of the kind fitness p;ca
yune.

Why Germany Must Consider Wo.
mems Votes.

The cat is out Of the political bag,
in Germany at least. Some thought
the recent liberality toward women
was sentimental, or an awakened
sense of justice but in debate in
the Prussian Diet the real reason was
divulged by Herr Won Karsel. He ex-
planned that already many women
are employed in munitions and muni-
cipal service, and greater numbers
would be needed, but there were legal
distractions in the way of employing
these much-needad women, as many
positions specified particularly that
the incumbents must be votors. So
if Germany wants to work her women,
she must let them vote. Hard luck to
the overload, but#the housefrau may
come into her own.

Prejudice Greater Than Principle.
Alt Camp Street, New Orleans.


Prejudice Greater Than Principle.
"The women Of the western states
elected Wilson,, This triumphant
slogan was shouted throughout the
country. There was little attempt
at contradiction, for the western
states usually supported the Re-
publican candidate. The south par
ticularly felt happy over four more
years Of Democratic national policy.
The southern politician gallantly
DOTTED his hat to the women who saw
ed the Democratic party. And then
several southern legislatures ungal-
lantly refused to raise their southern
women to the political status of west
ern women. There is an apparent
difference between national Demo-
cratic principles and individual Dem
ocratic prejudice.

the interest OF the new picture house
that is being installed in this town.
Mr.. Boston will be here off and on

July he will move his family here, his
delay IN bringing his family being
caused by the fact that he wants his

Work was begun Monday by Com
tractor JOS Robichaux upon the re-
modelling Of the Riviere building,

be heightened to give depth of 40

Work has been started on the new
