BEST THEATRE.

The grandeur of the Sierras of Southern California is given by the camera to "The Flaming Omen," a fascinating story of the Peruvian An des. This Greater Vitagraph Blue Rib- bon feature, which will be the attrac- tion in the Best theatre today, is a story of love and mysticism of the days of the Incas, of the Red Prince who loved beautiful English girl, but who is prevented from confessing his love by vision of a woman with a baby in her arms, dying by her own hand at the feet of an image of Inti, the Sun of God of the Incas. The wo- man was his mother. The man who deserted her and her baby is his fath- CT and the father of the girl he loves. Drawn by the lure of the Andes and a girl of Peru he returns to his native land and there he learns of his past, finds his mothers grave and in the girl to whom he is bethrothed a sister. A strong cast cast is employed, includ- ing Alfred Whitman, Mary Anderson, Otto Lederer, Clara King, and s. E. Jennings, making up as strong and we'll suited company as ever has ap- peared in a Vitagraph production.

One on. the JudQe.

A judge, who used to wear very long waving hair and a heavy beard, one day was on his way to court when he was accosted by a little street boot black, with an exceedingly dirty face, with the customary "Shine, sir7' He was very importunate and the judge being impressed with the terrible state of the boys face, said: q don't want shine, but if you'll ga and wash your face, I'll give you sixpence." All right, sir" "Well, let me see you do It." The boy went to a neighbor- ing fountain and made his abfutions. Returning, he held out his hand for the sixpence. The judge said: .Well. you earned the money. Here 1t is" But the boy said: "I don't want youx money, old fellow. You can take fl and have your hair cut" and forth with scampered Oh.

The Egyptian "Fellah."

The Egyptian "Fellah" is curious mixture of independence and submis- siveness. He would never consent to the wholesale disclosure of his affairs requisite under the cooperative sys- tenn. He Is as secretive as the Scotch man, as land hungry as the French. man. He Is Tn some ways as ignorant and as submissive to authority as the poorest European peasant. He had always obtained ample credit, but at q terrible price. For short periods he would pay 50 and 60 per cent and when, in 1899, an effort was made to create an equitable system of rural credits the average existing rate of ip
 terest for all loans was p per cent pen annum. Suspicious to a degree, he had to be approached very diplomatic ally by personal meetings, often re- peated, before he could be convinced of the bona fidss of bank offering him money at 8 and 8 per cent. His con- fidence was won, however. and he proved an honest and reliable client.

Two Heroes Remembered.

Jasper county, Indiana, was named in honor of Sergeant Jasper of the Revolutionary army because of his spe- cial patriotism and bravery. He was sergeant in a South Carolina regiment and in the attack on Fort Moultrie. early fin the war, the fiaestaff was shot off and the flag fell to the bottom of the ditch outside of the works. Jump ing from ore of the embrasures, Jasper mounted the colors, tied them to staff and held them in position under n hot fire until another flagstaff was brought. For this commission was offered him but he declined 1t through distrust of his qualifications. On an- other occasion he and another sergeant named Newton attacked British guard of ton men and released some prisoners the guard were conveying to Savannah. A township in Jasper coun- ty Is named Newton in honor of Jas per's companion on this occasion. A county in Georgia and central square In Savannah help to perpetuate Jas. per's name. He was killed at Savannah near the close of the war.

ORPHEO THEATRE.

The offering at the Orpheo theatre by the 1917 Vode Revue is one of the best bills yet presented. This bill is entitled "Get The Idea," and is direct ed by Edith Wilma. It is clever, en- tertaining musical play. Miss Wilma by the way, is one of the few women directing musical comedy. She ap. pears in"Get The Idea" as the presi- dent of suffrage association, and brings down a storm of applause by singing "Keep the Home Fires Burn ing" with a chorus of Red Cross nur ses. All the musical numbers will be different and the clever comedians will have an entirely new line of batter.

The purest irish blood is not to ba found in Galway proper, for the town was long held by the English, and cen- turies ago it did an immense trade with Spain that resulted in mixed mar riages, producing sundry heads of black hair and black eyes. But across the little rlvers by the bay, is fishers colony where the oldest Irish blood is still pure. This little group have mar. ried strictly among themselves, and their stock is said to go back to Irisb natives who even antedateG the Irish Celts.

WASHINGTON, Feb 8. - Precau-

Seizure Made on
Order of Daniels

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Removal
of the crews of the German auxiliary
cruisers Kron Prinz Wilhelm and
Prinz Eitel Friedrich was ordered by
the commandment of the Philadel-
Secretary Daniels to take whatever
steps he deemed necessary to safe
guard the interned ships in the exist
ing situation.
Having voluntarily submitted to in
ternment the vessels actually are in
custody of the United States govern
ment, subject to such disposition of
ships and crews as the government
sees fit to make.
The Kronprinzessin Cecelie at Ros-
Ton and the prize ship Appam at New
port News. taken over by United
States marshals, already technically
were in the custody of the courts
pending the outcome of litigation over
their possession. The crews merely
had been permitted to live aboard
and continue in physical possession
under bonds given by the German
government.
There Is no intention on the part
of the United States to seize the Ger
man merchantmen laid up In Amerl-
can ports as matters now stand. Such
n step admittedly would be an act of
war which the government has no
idea of committing.
Officials said tonight that the ac-
ton of the canal zone authorities in
taking charge of the four German ves-
sells in port there undoubtedly was a
temporary measure adopted under the
authority accorded port officers to
prevent the crews from sinking or
blowing up their ships and thereby
menacing navigation.

Most of the Americans lost were
