fire mean. When these are brought
home to MS we will be anxious to do
what we can for our boys, to supply
them with care and comforts. and So
l~icitOus in the extreme to safeguard
their lives.
To a greater extent than we realize,
these things must be done in advance.
The only way in which We can con
tribute to their safety is to see that
our boys are provided with everything
% soldier requires. We must have aer-
%oplanes, ambulances, machine guns.

calibre, rifles, ammunition, gas pro-

things must be bought with money

Flhst Chance to Act r[amera

One Of the things tbasC lifts The
Eyes Of the World% Tlune's cinema
translation of Harold Bell Wright's
famous book, which TO the Au-
dltorium theatre on Saturday, Octo-
Der q, 1917, out of the ordinary is the
work Of All Wing in the role Of Yee
Kee, the Chinese manseryant of Aa-
ron King. All Wing is the only Chi
nese actor in motion pictures.
There have been japanese actors,
Indian actors, negro actors and repre-
sentatives Of almost all of the races,
both on the stage and screen, but the
representative Of far Cartay dtscoy-
cred by Clune is the first one ofthe race
to take up histrionics as a real yoca-
ton. The Chinese have mostly re-
manned in the laundries, kitchens and
gardens.
Heretofore Chinese characters in
plays have been enacted generally by
Caucassians. Some of the attempts
we're successful, many others lament
able. 1t is pretty hard for a white
actor to give a convincing portrayal
Of a representative of the yellow race.
Lacking the psychology of the Celes-
tial, he is devoid of that delusive
something which in the latter makes
him distinctive and gives him sharp
ly-defined difference from our own
people.
The selection of All Wing is evidence
of the care with which Clune casts
his productions. He didn't want a
false note struck in the Eyes of the
World" by a white "Chinaman" whose
actions would only stamp the play with
a m~ake-believe flavor and operate to
destroy to a large extent the illusion
created by other members of the
cast.
That All Sing is a man of obility in
his vocation is admitted by himself
His personal cards bear the legend
Clever Chinese Actor" and give his
address at 765 Alameda Street, Los
Angeles.

-
Discussion of the advisability on
pediting the call for the second ING
ment/of the draft army now is in
gross at the war department, am
appears likely that the date MAD
liked for some time In Decembef1
January.
Mobilization of the first increment
OF 687 900 men is now far enough ad-
yanced to show clearly that there will
be a big deficiency for the II nation
al army divisions. More than $50, 900
of the first increment are still to be
assembled, but it already is evident
that there will be available at the 16
c-antonments quarters for an addition
al regiment at each post and at some
for a full brigade of two regiments.
The strength of the regimental or
ganizatiOn is 5000 men. With a regi-
ment lacking at each cantonment, this
alone would mean a shortage of near
ly $4,000 men. In addition there has
been authorized a separate division of
negro troops, which means nearly 3d.
600 men withdrawn from the original
number assigned to the 16 canton
ments.
The shortage is due partially to the
necessity OF taxing naJlOndl men TO
fill up national guard divisions. Two
complete national army divisions Of
southern troops have been absorbed
N this way. The remnants of three
other southern national army divisions
will be consolidated to form a single
divisional unit, and the surplus men
from other camps will be sent south
to make up the missing divisions.
Drafts on the national army forces
also must be made to fill up the en-
listed personnel of the aviation serv-
ice, the medical corps and the service
battalions needed behind the fighting
lines abroad. Eventually there will be
100000 men in the last named service
alone, and aviation and the medical
service will take nearly as many more,
though not all of them will be taken
from the national army.
