POPULAR AS 'sMUTT AND JEFF

This/year that best of all roaring
musical farce spectacles, Mutt and
jeff" in the Woody West" comes TO
the Opera House Friday September q
with everything rearranged, sparkling
and rejuvenated. Mr.. Hill has re-
placed everything heretofore used
with entirely new up-to-date material
and the consequence is a brand new
and thoroughly finished farce comedy,
spectacular review of the latest fads
and funny things of the day. Mutt
and Jeff" has long since earned the
top-notch position among extravagant
farces, and the idea of remodeling the
scenic environment and reconstruct
ing the piece generally has been an
annual occurrence, but this season an
extra effort has been made in the way
of renewing the lines, situations and
a decidedly refreshing atmosphere
permeates the entire performance. A
brilliant and prettily eostumed chorus
of youthful maidens assist in the at
tractively arranged ensembles and the
modern popular music leaves nothing
to be desired in a musical way. The
specialties are the best that ever ap-
peared in any musical farce comedy.
A wealth Of money has been expended
this season to costume it beyond the
fondest dreams of the indulgent pub
lie.

TO MEET LABOR SHORTAGE
War Board Soon to Issue Drastic Reg
ulatlOns

Columbia, Sept. 23.-Special: The
war industries board will issue a..
once the most drastic regulations ever
promulgated in this country compell-
ing male citizens Of the United States
engaged in nonessential occupations
to go into essential employment or to
fight, according to a ruling from
Washington received by the State
council of defense. These regulations
are being compiled and will be mailed
to local labor boards in the next few
days.
Because of present million and a
half labor shortage, both skilled and
unskilled, in war industries with an
increased army coming" said the
statement to the State council OF de-
Tense, Nathan A. Smyth, assistant
director Of the general United States
employment service, is today mailing
most drastic instructions ever issued
in this country to all community labor
boards instructing them to prepare
and publish in every city of the
country lists of nonsessential po-
sitions now being held by men that
could be filed by women. The result
will be that men failing or refusing
to get out OF such positions on their
own accord and take up essential
work will be looked upon as slackers.
the order is intended to force the hand
Of both nonessential labor and en-
ployers thereof.
"The list probably will include
clerks and office help. ticket sellers
of all kinds, attendants and similar
occupations. This is in line with Pro
vost Marshal General Crowder's work
or fight order, with instructions al
ready issued for the placing of women
in industries, with the order of the
war industries board stopping unnec-
essary construction, with actions lin
iting. bank loans and the taking of
raw materials from nonessential in
dustries, Mr.. smyth's order may ulti-
naately become the most drastic of
all; for community labor boards will
insist that no man shall occupy
position which woman can I'LL This
nation must work or fight and the
order is made necessary because en-
ployers of nonessential labor have, in
many cases, failed to meet the issue
souarely."
The publication of the lists is to
be progressive in character, with the
1ires drawn closer from day to day.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 12.- It was officially intimated toda. that the government will probably take over the control of all the main and operate them in connection with the railroads during the period Of the war, returning them when the roads revert to private ownership. The express properties will also be under the control of Director General McAdoo and will be handled by or. ganizations already existing.
 This step has been considered since the roads were first taken over under government control, and MT, McAdoo has been Investigating the matter. It is the opinion that much rolling stock will be saved under the governments operation and the tonnage of dead weight thus elim- mated from railway traffic will make room for thousands of tons of live freight annually.
 The President has authority to commander these properties at any time he thinks necessary for the best interests of the nation, and a proclamation placing them under government control is expected to be issued by him within short time.

REED
 RESUMESFICHT
 ON CONTROLLER

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 12.- In spite of the adverse comment which his former attacks upon the national food administration have aroused throughout the entire ma. tion, Senator Reed, of Missouri launched another vicious assault on Food Controller Hoover and the poll cies of the food administration. Tht attack today was more virulent than any which have gone before and was listened to, for the most part, in si lence He was interrupted once or twice by his colleagues, who object ed to the language used and the charges made, but no applause was given him from either the floor of the senate or the galleries, which were almost emptied during the ad- dress.
 The senator charged that the food administration has been characterized by gross extravaganza, if not worse, and demanded that Mir Hoover be compelled to give an accounting of the financial department of the food administration. He asserted that money had been spent without au thority or excuse and accused the food administration with meddling with affairs entirely foreign to it's own province.
 Most of the senators look upon the charges of Reed as groundless and without reason. They are believed to have been inspired by his dislike of Food Controller Hoover and his objection to the governments price fixing policies which he recently en deavored to curb or defeat

LUXBURC FLIES
 FROM ARGENTINA
Associated p~essl

BUENOS AIRES, Mar. 12.-It i' reported here that Count LuXburg, formerly German minister to Ar. gentina, has fled from this country to Chile and is being hidden there by German sympathisers. The flight of the notorious minister was caused by the feeling aroused in Argentina over the exposures of his duplicity which violated all the laws of na- tions and Argentina's neutrality.
 The correspondence between Lux burg and the German home office, which was intercepted by American authorities and made public in Am erica, was published in papers all through Argentina and created an uproar of indignation from all sides, and may be the cause of Argentina entering the war on the side of the allies in the near future.

 KAREN, Mar. 12.-Outnumbered and in the face of better equipped q force of Red Guards, General Sem enoff, the anti-Bolsheviki leader ih Siberia, retired with his Cossaclzs across the border into Manchuria. Semenoff's supply of ammunition and funds is exhausted, and he is eager ly awaiting aid from either Japan or China in order to carry the fight back into Siberia. The nurses and a supporting detachment of the Cos sacks leave Harbin tonight.
 According to border advices, the accuracy of the artillery fire of the Bolsheviki during the fighting in progress the past few days is taken to indicate that former German pris- oners are cooperating with the Red forces.
 The Chinese commander has noti- fled the leader of the Bolsheviki forces that an attempt to invade Chinese territory in pursuit of Cos sacks will be viewed as an overt act by the Chinese government and will be treated as such. The situation is believed to be serious, and will cause grave complications if the Red troops enter China.
