preciation by doing a hand-stand on a dizzy precipice of the noun tain.
 Douglas Fairbanks Peak, accord ing to the government representa- tive, is perhaps the most popular objective point in the whole region. On the way to this point one passes Vernal and Nevada Falls, return ing down the short zig-Zag road past Agaspiz Column and Sentinel Rock. There is a comfortable hO- tel on the summit and many take the stage here for tb< Big Trees, breaking the full trip from Senti- nel Hotel on the valley floor. The projecting rocks which mark Doug las Fairbanks Peak are but a few yards from the hotel. Upon re- turning from his trip to the noun tain-top Fairbanks announced his intention of building cabin on his new lofty land where he will spend his time between the produc- ton of pictures.

Mountain Named for Douglas Fairbanks.

Celebrities have had institutions and even trees named after them, but Douglas Fairbanks is perhaps the first to have mountain peak bear his name.
 It was during the production of some mountain scenes in California recently, for Down to Earth" the new Fairbanks-Artcraft picture, to be seen at the Coliseum theatre, that the popular actor was ap- preached by D. c. Desmond, United States Government official, who af- ter ten minutes of eloquence, con cluded by saying that it was his pleasure to announce that one of the most picturesque mountain peaks had been named in his hon or in Yosemite Valley. The ener- getic Douglas thanked the official for the honor and proved his ap-

WHY THAT LAME BACK?

That morning lameness = those sharp pains when bending Or lift ing, make work a burden and rest impossible. Don't be handicapped by a bad back-look to your kid neys. You will make no mistake by following this mans example.
 J. M. Johnson, carpenter, 2625 w. 59th St., Seattle, Wn., says:
 "A cold weakened my kidneys and after that I had a great deal of kid ney trouble. My back was lame and it felt as though the muscles were all drawn up and stiff. My kidneys didn't act right at all and the secretions were highly colored. l had to get up often at night, too. Doan's Kidney Pills gave me a com plete and lasting cure. I am free from kidney trouble in spite of my age, which is past sixty years.''

New Record for Cabanne.

Wm. Christy Cabanne, Metro Suality director, who is directing the RushmanBayne serial, 'The Great Secret" in summarizing the other day, discovered that he had made nineteen reels of Metro won der pictures in nine weeks.
 This sets a mark that few if any in the industry can excel and doubtful if there is another direc- tor that can compete with it. In response to the querry as to what he attributed his speed to MT. Ca banne answered.:
 When I work, work, and when want recreation I do more work. After I have worked while, the only way that I can relax is to work some more.
 "The Great Secret" another epi- sode, was shown last night at the Coliseum, together with Sudden Riches" a story dealing with a legacy of hate. They will be re- peated tonight.

Coast Notifications Con- Sidered, but Cannot Do Work During

SULZER GETS LETTER
Secretary of War Thanks Delegate for Interest in Protection of
 Alaska.

That the War Department is giv- ing serious attention to the ne- cessity of the erection of coast de- lenses for Alaska, but that it is deemed impracticable to undertake the work at time when all the artillery material, especially heavy guns and their accessories, are needed in the war, is indicated by letter received by Delegate Chas. A. Sulzer from Assistant Secretary of War Benedict Crowell, who was the Acting Secretary during the ab- sence in France of Secretary Of War Newton D. Baker.
 Delegate Sulzer has been working on this proposition for some time, and more than, month ago he wrote the War Department a

Goldwyn Activities Taking on New Rush.

With the return to Fort Lee, N. J., of Madge Kennedy, the begin ming by Mae Marsh of new pro- duction and the impending return from Florida of Mabel Normand, activities at the Goldwyn studios have taken on an added aspect of hustle.
 Miss Kennedy came back to the studios after an absence of week due to illness Director Harry Pol lard put in the time photographing scenes of 'The Danger Game" in which the star has no part.
 With the completion of "The Face in the Dark" from the story by Irwin s. Cobb, to be her next re- leased production, Mae Marsh will immediately start work on a new picture. It is from the story by Edith Barnard Delano called When Carey Comes to Town" which for motion picture purposes probably will be retitled. Mabel Normand is preparing to start on new produc- tion as soon as she completes new scenes for Joan of Plattsburg."

Massive Scenes Pictured in "Woman God Forgot"

The largest aviary in the world was used during the filming of Ger aldine Farrar's first Aircraft cine ma spectacle, "The Woman God Forgot" which will be seen at the Coliseum soon.
 A number of the scenes show the huge private swimming pool and garden of Montezuma's daugh- ter. This pool was especially built for the production and is in the garden containing the temple of the sacred bird. The garden and pool were enclosed in wire netting nearly 50 feet high and 400 feet long, to prevent the escape of the thousands of birds with which the foliage was filled.

 The answer from the War De- partment, dated March 26, was as follows:
 Honorable Chas. A. Sulzer,
 Delegate from Alaska,
 House of Representatives. "Sir:
 'I acknowledge the receipt of your letter of March g, 1918, in which you suggest the advisability of the consideration at this time of the question of the provision of sea coast Notifications for Alaska.
 'In view of the present urgent needs of the Allies for all the ar tillery material, especially heavy guns and their accessories, that can be procured, the Department energies and manufacturing capac ity of the country be devoted, for the present, to the immediate and pressing requirements of the war.
 ''The question of the fortifica- tion of the coast of Alaska has been made the subject of very care ful study by the War Department for a number of years. This study is one which necessarily must be predicated to a large degree upon a considerations of the requirements of the Navy for naval bases and coaling stations in Alaska, and it will be given careful consideration by the Department at all times in

 Speculation" which appeared last night at the Palace was placed in that exact position. She accepted the offer of the education, but when the critical time for her to choose her husband arrived,-what did she do? The answer to this question is worth finding out and it is prettily told in the picture.

William Stowell, who has been seen with the fair star in numerous productions, will be her leading man in this newest cinema creation.

Maso, upon receiving the educational

'Maso will take the university course

ADVANCE OF ARMIES
MUCH MORE RAPID
Motorizing Of Heavy Guns Has
Made Swift Movements
the Proper Thing.

Behind British Lines in France (by
speed of fire and
ever swifter, assaults and narrower
have been the principal developments
of the art OF war this year A year
ago an attack was lumbening pom
derous thing. moving along heavily
and deliberately behind a great weight
of artillery preparation. Today speed
Is the thing. The rate of advance IN
the British army has been increased
four-fold in the past year.
Behind the screen Of swift moving
tanks, armored motor cars and cav
airy, the assault divisions rush into
the German positions, occupying
trenches, stamping out isolated nests
of resistance and collecting the masses
of prisoners. The infantry necessarily
move more slowly than the mobile as
sault forces, but when one takes into
account the width of the usual thrust
operation nowadays and it's depth. the
movement is wonderfully fast, and a
days operations, if successful, mean
the occupation of many square miles
Of territory.
In particular, speed has been applied
to the movement of artillery, which
Is the vital thing in holding the posi-
tons won. Mechanical Improvements
have been applied to gun tractors so
that now guns can be brought up in a
quarter of the time that was neces
sary rev months age. In the same
way the tank has become a mobile
gun battery, able to fire as it adj
vances.
Motor transport is the essential fac
tor in concentrating infantry. Food.
ammunition, water and all supplies
are carried up in motor trucks.
As fast as the line moves the en-
gineers are busy. extending the light
railways, and as fast as the rails are
laid they begin to carry their burden
of supplies and ammunition. Many
miles OF track can now be laid by a
single section of engineers in day.
and by the evening after successful
attack the late field of battle is crisis
crossed with line after line of steel
rails, all hard at work consolidating
and preparing for a further step for-
ward.
AS speed of attack develops on tho
allied side, so the heller SHELTER char-
acter of the German movement in the
opposite direction must increase. The
effect of a sudden push back on the
German lines is like the impact of
locomotive on train of freight cars
the shock drives the farthest freight
car farthests back The effect of the
allied blow is UNNECESSARILY enhanced
by the speed with which it is aeliv-

MANY letters from the soldier boysI
