ROBERT WARWICK AT
isis MONDAY and TUESDAY

A drama that is pleasing from start
to finish is The Family Honor. the new
World Picture Brady-Made, which
will be shown on Monday and Tuesday
at the Isis theatre with Robert War
wick and June ElYidge as the stars.
The play is one Of the manner in which
a man saves his younger brother from a
vampire and how he himself falls into
her hands. The story is an intense one
and presents Robert Warwick in a
spectacular and convincing role. June
Elvidge appears as the vampire who
finally proves to have a human heart
after all.
Miss Pearl White, who plays the
role of an American Joan of Arc in
Pathe's Preparedness serial, Pearl Of
the Army, the first episode Of which
is to be shown at the Isis theatre be-
ginning Monday, can tear leaf from
the book of her own spectacular career
to prove pluck and self-reliance can
turn adversely into fortune and make
success of seeming disaster.

SO DAYS
IS GIVEN
lehman
German Sent to Jail for Two
Months by Amidon for
Insulting Flag

ITO hell with the United States
flag" is what John Ford testified Otto
Lehman. baker at the Nordale bak-
cry, and the second German to be
charged with sedition in North Da-
kota, said when he tore down, Thurs
day afternoon, two flags in the bakery.
Lehman was sentenced to sixty
days in the Cass county Jail by Judge
Charles r. Amidon in the United States
district court this morning.
1--WE cannot tolerate any actions
such as you have been guilty Of" said
Judge Amidon in pronouncing SEN
tence. land Germans of this country
must learn that American citizens
will not stand by peaceably and see
their flag insulted and their govern
ment traduced. .l.~
IF I thought that you were guilty
Of deliberately willful act and were
not under the influence Of intoxicants
at the time, would send you to the
federal prison. That is what would do
with you. You must be punished and the
judgment OF the court is that you be
sentenced to sixty days in the Cass
county Jail" sa
No Widespread Acts.
In his talk before passing sentence,
Judge Amidon stated that he had
heard the statements of the district
attorney as to the large number of
cases Of sedition that have been re-
ported from over the state but that he
could not believe that the German
residents Of the state would be guilty
of widespread acts Of hostility until
1t is proved to him that they are
guilty of such acts. .....
The hearing was brief, three wit
nesses being called to the stand, all
at the Nordale bakery. The
best witness for the government was
John Ford. In his broken English. Mr..
Ford unhesitatingly said that Leh-
mann had torn down the flag and that
he had exclaimed: ITO hell with the
United States flag"
Louis Nentzer and Andrew Swanson
both testified that Lehman had torn
down the flags that had been put up
by Mr.. Swanson. All testified that
Lehman had been drinking.
Lehman has been in Fargo only a
few weeks, but according to his state
ment to government officials, he has
been a resident Of the United States
fourteen years, and Ave years ago he
declared his intention Of becoming a
citizen Of the United States at Sacra-
mentO, Cal ..-s.'

PRIZE COURTS AND ToRPEpoEs.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: The trouble
with Lafollette and the other ultra
pacif1sts, declared Senator John Sharp
Williams in the debate the other day,
is that they do not know the differ
ence between prize court and a tor
pedo. The phrase summarizes the diff
ference between the British blockade
against German and Germany's al
legged blockade against Great Britain
and her allies.
AS has been fully explained times
without number, the British blockade
is maintained with regard for the
principles Of international law. Ships
which try to penetrate the blockade
are not sunk without notice nor are
their crews murdered If captured,
such vessels are taken to port and the
fate of their cargoes is determined by
legal prize courts.
The wrongly called German block
ade of Great Britain, on the contrary,
Is merely a reign Of terror by sea. It
is recognized by no canon Of interna-
tionaI law. Ships which try to pene-
trate the prescribed area are sunk
without notice, and their crews muir
dered outright or left to perish in
open boats.
America entered the war on Great
Britain's side against Germany be-
cause America was able to detect the
difference between q prize court and
torpedo.

CIRCUS ANIMALS
HAVE MANICURE


One of the most unusual callings in
the world is that of the animal mani
cure with the sells-Floto circus. which
viii be Ia Chickasha Thursday. July
10. This man is a veterinary, and his
JOB is to keep the feet OF the elephants
and the claw-footed animals in good
shape Animals with claws grind
away the claws when in the wild state
but when in captivity they do not
have the chance to wear them away.
Hence the animal manicure.
When the claw of an animal gets
too long 1t is a source Of great pain
The only way to keep them in condi-
ton is to file them off from time to
time. 1t is rather dangerous task
to manicure a leopard. but the pleas
ure it brings an animal should be
enough to soothe the savage breast.
A leopard fights when an effort is
made to manicure his trilbies with
bears it is different. A bear rather
enjoys the occasion, and in most cases
will lie peacefully while the manicure
is working Elephants thoroughly en-
joy the experience of having their
nails filed In fact they look forward
to the operation with pleasure.
The manicure tools used on an ele-
phant look like those used in a cabi-
net making establishment and a ma
chine shop. When the manicure starts
work on an elephant he drives a stake
in the ground and bids the animal
put his foot on it, Armed with a
drawing knife he trims down the nail,
and then he files it with big rasp.
The claws of an animal grow rapid
ly It is necessary to trim them at
least twice a month. Otherwise the
claw is pressed back into the foot and
becomes very painful.
