is fortunate to secure this picture, for
so early a showing and in fact this
will be the first town in the state to
see it. 1t just completed its run at
the big Metropolitan theater at Mime.
apoIis last Saturday night, and Muir
ply & Hanson, by putting in their APP
plication over six weeks ago, before
the picture was completed, were able
to secure a date for Brookings before
much larger towns will get it. The
films are owned and controlled by the
government and Uncle Sam gets sew
enty per cent of the revenue from it,
in addition to the war tax. It is a
wonderful picture in every respect
and should be greeted by crowds, as
il no doubt will be.

as were never seen in a circus before
this year. For novelty it was of a
better class than ever before seen in
Bookings. The animal acts were
good. and while the lions did not re-
spond to the direction of the new
trainer with the ease that m from
long acquaintance between mar and
beast, yet it was to be seen that the
trainer who replaced the n killed
in the wreck was an adept in his line.
In the living statues. the posing done
by the two horses was wonderful, and
combined with the good work of the
human performers made this part of
the program unusually interesting.
The acrobats We're good and the
tumbling and other athletic work was
of a high order. The Jazz Band Of
clowns were amusing and the other
clown work was amusing and more

refined than that done in years passed.
The horses with the show are a fine
lot, 100 were in the parade alone,
which was over a half mile in length.
Some of the old tricks of the circus
were in evidence, such as charging
the holders of reserved seat passes an
extra quarter to sit in the regular re-
served seats, but then we always ex-
pected to be stung at a circus and as
we did not want to be disappointed,
did not offer any objections to the lit
tie extra touch. Taken all in all it
was a circus far above the average Of
the past.

BRITISH NOLONGER NEED
ESs SALT AND WITHDRAW

LONDON, May Associated Press)
Occupation of Es Salt having served
its purpose it has been abandoned in
connection with a general shifting Of
the British lines along the banks Of
the River Jordan, the withdrawal be-
ing reported in connection with recent
British successes in which a Thousand
Turks and twenty nine machine guns
are reported to have been captured.
Details of the fighting which led up
to the capture of Es Salt are given
by the Associated Press correspondent
1t was at Mahadethadjlah, where the
baptism Of Christ Isl said TO have taken
place, that the British army forced a
passage of the River Jordan after q
brisk engagement with the Turks and
q small body Of Germans on the night
of Marsl . y Ia .s.ss,ys, \ y. ~. !. ".
The crossing was attempted at three
spotss The average, breadth Of the
Jordan is thirty yards and even in the
driest season the water fords are new
er less than three and a half to four
feet deep. Both banks are lined with
a thick jungle called by the Arabs
" Ezzor" and is the haunt of wild boar.
1t is traversed by very few tracks
leading to the fOrds.
Crossing Difficult
At two Of the fords even men on
horseback were unable to breast the
strong current, while RATS and pom,
toons were swept away. The Turks,
alive to the fact that the crossing was
being attempted, set fire to some dry
scrub on their side of the bank which
lit up the waters almost with bright,
ness of daylight revealing with cruel
distinctness our men venturing from
cover in the thickets at Mahadethed-
jlah. There the river has a straighter
run and the current is consequently
less swift. Seven volunteers succeed
ed in swimming to the other bank with
a rope by means of which a pontoon

BOlSheyiSt Demand
May Bring
Early Intervention
Effort To Force Recognition of
Soviet Government May In
stead Result In Still More
Drastic Policies and Action BY
Japan -

WASHINGTON, May 7-(Associated
Press What is believed here to be
the desire of the Moscow soviets to
force recognition Of their government
by the Allies and the United States
is leading to further complications in
Siberia and is bringing forward again
the possibility Of Japanese interven-
tion. On Saturday q demand was made
upon the ambassadors Of Britain, Jap
an md sAnlaft0a Tor the removal Of the
consuls Of these. respective countries
from Vladivostok; on the grounds that
these consular representatives were i'm
plicated in anti. .Bolsheyist plots. Yes
terday, according to q Renter despatch,
received via London, the BolsheViki
have seized and arrested the Japanese
eounsul at Irkutsk and with him the
Irkutsk president Of the Japanese Mer-
chants Association, charging the two
with being military spies.
Dispatches from Moscow state that
no response has as yet been made to
the Bolsheviki demands respecting the
Vladivostok consuls by any of the en-
bassies approached. 1t is pointed out
in the despatch that these demands
were made by the soviets coincidently
with the arrival at Moscow Of Won Mir
bach, the new German ambassador to
the Bolsheviki government.
At the Japanese embassy an official
denial was made Of the Russian charge
that the Japanese marines at Vladivo-
stok had been reinforced and that ma
chine gun emplacements were being
prepared.
It is believed here that the Bolshe
wiki demands for the removal Of the
Vladvostok consuls is a move to force
American recognition Of the soviets
government and an evidence of the
determination of the Bolsheviki to
force the withdrawal from the Siberian
port of the Japanese and British ma
rines in order to permit them to. Sc
cure the munitions in store at Vladi
vostok for shipment east over the
Trans Siberian line.

Bridge Is Built
The British established a strong
bridgehead before dawn. The Turks
were not very numerous but were plen.
tifully supplied with machine guns
while the ground lent itself to defense.
Beyond the belt of scrub through
which 1t was necessary to cut ones
way was bare open space about Eve
hundred yards wide and then q series
of lodges where the Turks were
ensconed in trenches with a perfect
field for fire in front Of them. While
daylight lasted it was impossible to
cross this lane. After dusk the Brit

pouring across following close on the
heels of the Turks who made another
stand at 'Shunetnmrin across the old
caravan road leading to Es Salt.
There the troops were among the
foothills of the mountains of Gilead
which rise a thousand feet from the
Jordan plain. 1t was a short struggle
and the position was rushed, thirty I've
prisoners, all German, falling into Brit
ish hands, as well as four guns Of
which the teams were shot down by
Lewis guns. Then the troops raced
toward Es Salt which was entered
early in the morning. Es Salt is the
center of an important grain region
which furnished the main supply for
Jerusalem in the days of the Turks.
1t is now again available.
