GREAT PICTURE :f|j i IRE
 AT THE EMPRESS | I:;i;i
Film is Most Brilliant and Spectacu- lar Ever Shown in Alaska-To-
 morrow at Empress

Geraldine Farrar as the immortal Maid of Orleans will be seen tomor- row night at the Empress Theatre in the bost brilliant photoplay ever pro- iected on an Alaskan screen.
 Joan the Woman" the title of the production is beyond all question spectacular and brilliant in concep- ton and execution
 The story is woven around the in- spiration for personal sacrifice upon the field of battle given to a modern soldier by dream in which the hero ic actions of the immortal Maid of Orleans back in the days of the fif- teenth century are visualized by the soldiers. ....
 A trooper in the modern trenches unearths a sword at one time yielded by a knight who fought in the wars of France against England.
 While viewing the sword word is received from the commanding officer that volunteer is wanted to, destroy one of the enemies trenches. In mak- ing known the order the information is imparted that the mission means death to the volunteer.
 The soldier accepts the mission and while waiting to report for the dan gerous errand falls asleep in the trench and dreams of the Maid from Domreny who saved France and lost her own life by being burned at the stake.
 The scenes depicted on the screen of the battles in which thousands of French nobles and knights fight un- der the leadership of Joan d'Arc. rob ed in white are truly magnificent The taking of the fortress of Orleans by French knights is one of the most spectacular scenes ever projected up- on the motion picture screen. The sight of the humble peasant maid at the royal court of Charles, the weak minded king of France, is portrayed in brilliant fashion.
 The finale of the drama is the burning at the stake of ,tbe Maid as a reward for the saving of France from the hands of her enemies.
 with the dream stamped upon his memory ths soldier makes the su- preine sacrifice and gives his life for his country.

crossing the creek at this point.
During times Of high water, the
creek is too deep and treacherous to
ford. Petitions were in circulation
yesterday. Dr.. 0. j. Miller, of Oak
Ridge, is the leading spirit in the
2ovement. In discussing the matter
yesterday, he said:
"We residents of the northern end
of the county suffer great inconvenl-
ence by the neglect of this creek. 1t
is one of the few streams in the State
that are not bridged The road be-
tween Cape Girardeau and Egypt
Mills has been neglected from the
standpoint of bridges. | have met
much encouragement since I began
circulating the petition. From what
l can learn a permanent bridge can
be built for about S1,500. | am sure
TIE people interested will help Us
raise that sum-"

Col. Houck will return to St. Louis

believed that the appearance of the
men would inspire many who are still
hesitating to join the navy. Those
who are subject to the draft may Sc
cure their release from the local
board and chose whatever branch of
the service they want to enter.
The War Department has called
for volunteers for the navy to bring
the naval strength up to 100000 men.
Voluntary enlistments is the only
way in which the navy can secure
these men, as the draft act merely ap
