 LYRIC THEATRE
Treadwcll Club Takes Over Show Room From Douglas Island
 Labor Union

The final picture show to be wit messed in the Lyric theatre at least until further arrangements are made will be Sunday night, after which time the theatre will be closed except when let for special entertainments, lectures and kim dred functions
 Al meeting Of the Douglas Isl- and Labor Union. which owns the building. recently it was decided to take the theatre over from the for mcr lessee and give a lease on it to the Trcadwcll Club. which will mb-lct it when there is a demand for it.
 The closing of the Lyric as a thea Ire has ncccssitatcd different ar arrangements for continuing the Treadwcll Club shows which have been given for the past fe.y months each Saturday night, including Saturday matinee for the benefit of ! the children. Such arrangements have been made and hereafter the Treadwell Club shows will be given at tho Orphcum. the manager Of which G. W. Barnett, has arranged Co supply the Club with what it wants in the picture line.
 Beginning tomorrow, therefore, there will be a matinee every satur- day at the Orpheum to which. through the kindness of the Club, every child in both Trcadwell and Coughs will be welcome free Of charge, no matter whether they are children of club members or not Saturday night the Orphoum will be open to families of club members on the terms existing regarding the weekly shows. But children under ] twelve years of age will not be ad- mitted to the Saturday night shows unless accompanied by a parent
 While many will regret that the Lyric is to be dark as far as shows are concerned, they will be pleased that arrangements for continuing the Club shows have been made.
 W. C. Mullen. who has had charge of the Lyric for the past month, and who has made a go of it. will leave on an early boat and will take good position with Alex Pantages the theatrical magnatc of the west. Mir. Mullen is we'll known gll over the north and is very popular.

On thc stroke of l2 by thc clock Che liquor dealers of Douglas closed their respective places of business Monday night. The Baritello bar closed fully am hour before that time and when Che stock on hands was practically out.
 There were good crowds at nearly aI the places. many of those pres cnt being there moro out of curiosity than for licking mp wet goods. How ever there were several tested their cauaciucs almost to Che straining point and a number of buns were apparent by Che time the old year retired at che back door and 1918 crossed the threshold of Time.

Two ViolatOrs Apprehended Before New Regime Is in Effect
 24 Hours

Tuesday evening and before Che new liquor law had been in force 24 hours, Deputy Marshal Morton and City Marshal Johnson found a large cargo of whisky and beer aboard launch. the Pheasant, on tho Douglas beach. The owner of Che boat was John Haho and thC owner Of Che booze was Seth orava former proprietor Of the Mascot Bar.
 Both men were arrested and taken before United States Commissioner John Henson the samo evening which was New Years. They each put up S2OO cash bail for their ap. pearanco next day.
 At 8 o'clock Wednesday afternoon the two men appeared in the com. missioncr's court. when they each pleaded guilty and Orava, owner of the contraband goods, was fined SlOO and costs and Haho, owner of the boat. was fined $50 and costs Tho goods were connscated and sent to the government warehouse at Ju. neau. It was estimated that thC booze captured was worth from SGOC to $500.
 It is said that after being fined by the court, Orava went to his for. mer place of business and destroyed several hundred dollars worth of stock that he had left on hands when thc closing order became cGcc tive. It can be said to his credit that he has never before been in any trouble. but has always been a good citizen. Haho is also good citizen who claims that he was mol aware of the object for which hil boat was chartered and was mol present when the liquor was placed on board and did not know of il until he was told by thc arrestinr officers.

 "Wc are nicely located here at present and have had m oppor- muity Go visit some small villages near here and see how thc country people live here. They seem very pleasant and ! was surprised Co find thcm SO husky The country people m this part Of France do not live on their own land as in the States but live m small uukcmpt villages and walk or ride to and from their fields. They live under tho same roof with their stock an enter by Che same big door near Che center of Che building. but of course, stay m different compartments.
 The villagers wear wooden shoes over felt ones. and leave Che wooden shoes at the doorstep when they cu- ter Che house. The children are very smart and assist us in our efforts Co learn something of thc French lam guarc. There are very few young folks m che villages and Che old people and children carry on nearly an of Che ordinary work
 "Thc railroad stations here were deserted except for a few workmeu. m England we saw many more pco- pie who do not seem nearly SO busy.
 "Iu spite Of Che fact that France has been ut war more than three years have yet Co see a person in actual want. so good seems Co bc tbc system ot distribution here. or course. many people here live on % pittaucc which would Doe considered entirely inadequate u Che States.

PROCESSION OF
 3O,OOO TRUCKS
Autos to Carry Freight and Trans. port Themselves From Factory
 to the Sea

Tho following statement is au- thorized by thc Quartermastcr Cen oral:
 The first section of the American -my's new experimental truck unsport service has started from etroit on lts way to the Atlantic aboard. The trip is being taken . am effort to relieve congestion in tcight terminals by tho overland 70 Of motor trucks. Tho plans have rcn worked out by the Quarter sstor Department and the High Iys Transport Committee of the uncil of National Defense.
 lf tho plan proves successful, it estimated that the total relief to
 railroads, through the shipment the coast under their own power
 he 3O,OOO war trucks the army
 under construction, will amount
 O.OOO tons The trucks have an
 age capacity of three tons and
 % two of them can be shipped by in a 4O-ton freight car. The W plan will, therefore, relieve nf sn thousand 4O-ton freight ears, nd will also permit the transporta- lon of 9O.OOO tons of government materials to the coast from the in- torior storage depots. Tho actual number of freight cars which Che plan will relieve. therefore, if sue ccssful. will be 17,25O forty-ton cars.

Will Inn DriYers

The plan will serve also another urgent need, that of providing ade- quato opportunity for the training of an effective corps of transport drivers and officers. No matter how capable a man may be in the opera tion of a truck at home under poace-timo conditions, he must re- coive weeks of additional instruc- ton and training before he can be- come an efficient unit in the highly organized transport service which has been worked out by the French and English behind the western front.
 The training which our men will receive in driving loaded army trucks from the factory to seaport under the trying conditions which will be encountered this winter will, as nearly as possible. reproduce the actual service conditions abroad. Under the plans worked out tho transport companies will negotiate drives of varying distances up to 500 miles over various types of highways. and our men will have met and solved actual problems which will be invaluable to their efficient service behind the lines.

The Enemy = Watching
By NEWTON d. BAKER. Secretary of War

The supreme moments of our struggle with
Germany have now come.
We have carried our first armies across three
thousand miles of ocean and joined the issue
of battle with the military power of nation
that has been for forty years preparing its
plans and its weapons for its present attempt
to dominate the world We have had to put
forth an immense effort and spend fabulous

sum in order to make, in so short time, an
adequate beginning for our gigantic task.
But it is only our beginning We must follow
it with greater energy and support it with
increasing power. Men, munitions, ships and
supplies must go to Europe in larger and larger
stream. We must redouble our blows and add
constantly to the strength of those blows if
our initial effort is not to be wasted.

This Means That Our Fourth Liberty Loan Must Be Larger
Than It's Predecessors More Enthusiastically Sup
ported and More Quickly Than Ever Subscribed
Evening journal., 1918-09-28

We are fighting for the liberty of the world,
for the triumph of our ideals of democracy and
self-government over the last great advocate of
force upholding injustice. We are buying with
our Liberty Loans the security and Joy of our
people for generations to come. No price could
be too high to pay for such victory-no cost
too great for such purchase.
Evening journal., 1918-09-28

The enemy is watching anxiously for the
first sign that we are faltering.
Our Government Loans should go "over the
top" as eagerly as our soldiers do, in order to
carry with them the terror of furious attack
Our dollars must rain upon the enemy as over
whelminglv as our hail ofSbullets or our storm
of Shells
