HERE'S PRIZE ESCAPE STORY

New York.-This story is told Of an
American aviator, whose machine had
been forced to land within the Ger
man lines and who was taken prisoner,
but returned a few days afterward to
American headquarters, safe and
sound, in his own machine:
After his capture he was taken be-

PRETTY SENORITA is A "HE"
Discipline Causes Soldier From Jeffer-
son Barracks No End of
Trouble.

Portland, Ore.-Discipline caused a
soldier from Vancouver barracks no
end of trouble here. The enlisted man,
while on a furlough, went to mas
querade ball clothed as a Spanish dan
cling girl. After the ball, while walk
ing to a restaurant for supper, he
passed an officer, and promptly salut-
ed.
The spectacle of a rather pretty
girl" saluting aroused the officers
curiosity, and an investigation re-
vealed the true state of affairs.
ut is against the regulations for an
enlisted man to discard his uniform
during war times said the officer.
Return at once to the barracks and
report to your commanding officer"
The soldier followed discipline again
and obeyed. The appearance of a
dancing girl" within the army pre-
cincts caused more trouble, and as the
soldiers uniform was in Portland it
took some time to straighten matters
out.
After being threatened with court
martial and other terrible things, the
officers took pity on the soldier and
let the incident pass with a repri-
mand.

Lieut. Robert Z. Lee. u. S. A, grand
son of Gen. Robert E. Lee, the COM
mander in chief of the armies of the
Confederate states during the Civil
war, is fighting for the United States.
Lieutenant Lee has the mark as a
military leader set by his famous
grandfather as the goal of his efforts,
though he will be doing his utmost for
that Union which his grandfather
strove to destroy. General Lees fame
as soldier is secure, for he is rated
by military experts as one of the
greatest commanders the world has
known. If Lieutenant Lee inherits
his military skill there viii be no ques-
ton about his chances of being rated
a military genius.
Maj. William Fitzhugh Lee Simpson,
a granddaughter of Gen. Robert E.
Lee, recently died while on duty in
France, according TO confirmed re-

ROUSED BY DYING CHILDREN
Death of Six From Starvation in Ger
many Brings Attacks on
Governments.

Amsterdam.-The death Of six chill
dren at the German reform school In
Tiefenort, Saxe-Weimer, from what
practically amounts to starvation, al
though it is politely called "undernour-
ishment" in the official reports, has
caused widespread comment in Ger
many.
Assailed in the grand ducal parlia-
ment for tolerating such conditions,
the government put forth the diverting
excuse that the children died from
tuberculosis brought on by deficient
mental conditions" This, says Vor-
waerts in a scathing editorial, is "a
disease that is likely to prove more
serious and more mysterious than the
influenza epidemic in Spain"

WAR CRIPPLES
WILL FIND JOBS

sands of men who had lost limbs in
the war, it would be impossible to get
enough artificial substitutes unless
aliens were employed. To meet the
difficulty a skilled limbs committee of
physicists, engineers and surgeons was
formed. which had directed the produc-
tion of limbs by wood caryers, pattern
makers and mechanics in shipbuilding
yards and engineering shops, and thus
they had been able, by employing
home industry alone, to supply arti-
fetal limbs in sufficient quantities and
quality to satisfy requirements.
Methods of Treatment.
Prof. V. Putt of Bologna dealt with
the surgical treatment pertaining to
amputations. He described the meth
DDS of DR.. Giuliano Vanghetti, who
first conceived the idea and the means
of drawing living energies from the
stump of an amputated limb and trans
hitting voluntary movements to an
artificial member. 1t is now possible
for man who has lost both hands to
use knife and fork at table, dress
himself and even shave with safety
razor. This miracle is due to the treat
ment known as cinematization, and the
perfection to which artificial limbs
have been brought.
In order to obtain this voluntary
movement the muscles are allowed to
overlap the bone of the stump and are
so arranged as to give two prOtuber-
ances similar in shape and size to two
small fingers. The muscles are so ar
ranged as to give alternately the flex.
ion and extension movements and
where that cannot be obtained rotary
movement can be given. In this way
artificial limbs, instead of being mere
ly supports for the stumps, can them
selves be manipulated.

Gus problem, but the difficulties have

the actual re-education and training
was divided into two sections, the
classroom and the workshop, the mems
working day being divided between the
two.
Typewriting was taught in the class
room, while in the workshops the
largest number of men were learning
cobbling. Some men learned mat max
ing only. Basket making, the Oldest Of
the staple industries for the blind, was
taught in many varieties. The other
industry taught in the workshops was
joinery. The men of st. DunStans ac-

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
LYRIC

Conceded by dramatic critics the duction ever written by Edward Shel- don, author of those popular plays, Salvation Nell" and "The Nigger," both of which took the country by storm when they were first produced, will be presented by the popular Poll Players at the Lyric theatre, begin ming with the matinee on Monday, throughout the week with two per- formances daily. Romance" is not only of the sensational type of drama, but it also introduces theme that has been the subject of discus sion for many years and will prob ably continue to be such until the end of time.
 In the course of the last act the story shows that even a clergyman is not impervious to the charms of a clever woman if she ssets her heart on winning his love- but her better nature asserts itself and she saves him from himself before he has an opportunity of besmirching his cleri- cal robes. Romance" is now being played by Doris Keane to capacity houses in London, England, where it has been shown for nearly HOO times and bids fair to continue in- | definitely. While playing in this country Miss Keane was showered with congratulations because of the success of this famous production and many were the regrets expressed when it became known that the play was to be taken to Europe.
 Miss Warda Howard, who will play the role of the opera singer before whose shrine Dudley Ayers, as the young clergyman, falls, will have an excellent opportunity of displaying her versatile talents. Miss Howard is peculiarly fitted for a part of this kind and that she will do justice tc it is already an accepted fact. Dudley Ayers will be seen in two roles, the Bishop who tells the story of his in | fatuation for the singer in a prologue and epilogue, and as Tom Armstrong the clergyman during the course o1 the three acts which show the story he is telling. They will be assisted by the full company and it has beer necessary to engage several addi tional artists to complete the cast
 The usual popular prices will pre- vail and it is suggested that seats bc reserved in advance as record-break. ing attendances are expected.
