Sllal General Crowder, providing that
every man Of draft age must work or
Sight after July 1, under a drastic

ushers and attendants, passenger ele-
vator operators and other attendants
of clubs, hotels, stores. etc., domestics
and clerks in stores.

ed entirely in applying the rule. A
man may be at the bottom of class 1,
or even in class 4. but If he fails with
in the regulation and refuses to take
useful employment he will be given a
new number in class i that will send

machines on both sides were brought
down. but the Huns were by far the
greater sufferers. Among the noted

Are Stirring
 Times on the
 Western Front
Cannucks Say, "I Told You So," When Speaking of
 American Soldiers.

Behind the British Lines in France, Sept. 15.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press s)-To an American visiting the Western front in these stirring times, it is surprise and a pleasure to note the interest and an- ticipation with which the more active participation of the Americans is gretted on every hand.
 The Canadian soldiers invariably adopt the attitude, "I told you so' when the official reports chronicle American success. Tho Australians also pride themselves on their inti- macy with the Americans, and take d personal pride in every good deed which the Americans do, as if in some way they, themselves, had some share in it.
 The English Tommies are content to express delight and satisfaction. but always as if eager to believe the best and give credit for every excuse, The Americans, by their unassuming ways and insistent aggressiveness in the line, have won the good will of the Imperial British army.
 When a German report came in the other day of five alrplanes brought down from a patrol of six American raiders, frank incredulity was ex- pressed everywhere. When the Am erican report certified it, there was nothing in it but hard luck and a basis for further avenging exploits.
 The American flying men have a hard time before them to sustain the hopes held out for them by their ad- .mirers in the British and Canadian battalions. The kindly applause showered on American methods by the English newspapers-which have from the first ignored the mistakes certain to creep into any war admi- nitration-is either accepted in France as the complete story or is reflection of the feeling here
 Nowhere was the amity of feeling

36 HOURS FIGHTING NETS TANKS GAIN
 155 SQUARE MILES
Inhabitants of St., Mihiel Ignorant of Worlds
 Events for 4 Years.

By The Associated Press.
 With The American Forces in Lor- aaine, Friday, Sept. 13.-Thirty six hours of fighting netted General Per ishing's forces approximately 155 square miles of. territory in the St.
 .Mihiel salient, which had been in German hands since the autumn of 1914.
 Following the American troops thru the captured villages, the correspond ent found one very hand evidences of long control by the Germans. Bills for electric lighting and supplies had been paid with curious currency on which the Germans had printed French monetary terms.
 The inhabitants of the salient were absolutely ignorant of the events of history in the last four years, know ing only what their captors had told them.
 Here the sad stories heard in the whole of the reclaimed districts of France were accentuated by the long years of German control which had isolated the people from news of re- laticves and of world happenings.
 Every American entering the vil- lages experienced the same recept- ion as that given to Secretary of War Baker and General Pershing and their party. Aged men and women seized and kissed the hands of the officers and correspondents, crying and laugh ing, the curiously aged children imi- tating their elders unknowingly.
 For their own compatriots, how ever, the greeting was deeper and the French patrols and troops following were even more affected than those who had been delivered.
 Later in the evening General Per- shing and Secretary Baker resumed their journey in other sections of the region.

6RAPH|C'S SCREEN REVIEW ALL ADVANCE NOTICES FUR-
 WISHED BY THE THEATRES
DIFFERENCE IS
 NOTED EDUCATED
 CIRCUS ANIMALS

] There is vast difference between training animals and educating them. This, difference will be noticed when tie Al. c. Barnes big animal show comes here on Tuesday, September 17. Animals that are trained perform through fear of punishment. Animals that are educated perform because they take particular pride in showing their accomplishments. Trained ani- malls go through their performances unwillingly in constant dread of pun ishment. Educated animals, quite the contrary, perform willingly and with 8 response to verbal command that is surprising. All animals with the AL. Gy Baries show are educated. They have been taught that obedience means reward.
 There are many animals that are easily educated and others that are rarely subjugated. With the animal teachers with this show the desire to edpcate those that have always been regarded as impossible to educate is tho uppermost desire. Llamas, zebras, cainels. pigs, jungle-bred members of tfe feline family and the huge pachy- derms have been schooled and educat- ed until they have acquired the same proficiency as domesticated animals, and in some instances even affection tQ. an extent developed. It is not known tQ many that wild animals have no affection other than that for their off spring. Man is at all times regarded aN an enemy, and it is this that animal educators find most difficult to over come. It is the fact that the Al. C.. Barnes show possesses educated ami nlals from every section of the globe, md animals that have always been looked upan as too vicious to submit stp being educated, that puts it in a class entirely by itself. From the ever willing dog and horse to the almost u9conquerable polar bear and jungle hfed tigers, every known member of the animal world is not only seen with this meritorious aggregation, but seen

BEST THEATRE. Monday and Tuesday.

The name of Cecil B. De Mile, the distinguished motion picture producer is we'll known throughout the amuse- ment world. Mir. De Mile is a pro- ducer of special subjects of the high CT class, which, for seveNSl years, have been making cinema history of vast importance to the industry. He produced many notable photoplays including "Joan the Woman" a mag nicicient spectacle, "The Woman God Forgot" starring Geraldine Farrar, "The Whispering Chorus" "Old Wives For New," We Can't Have Every thing" and his latest production, "Till I Come Back Back To You," is said to be one of the most magnificent cinema spectacles thus far presented to the public. MT. De Mile is dir ector of exceptional talent, who has made rapid strides toward absolute perfection in his recent pictures. That his reputation for artistry will not suffer as result of his latest pro- duction, but that on the contrary it is a distinct advance in the art of which he is a master, seems to be assured.
 As writer of large motion picture spectacles Jeanie Macpherson, easily ranks as the most talented in the country. Miss Macpherson is screen writer of wide experience and thor oug training, and her brilliant talent was displayed with masterful effect in such photoplays as "The Woman God Forgot" "Joan the Woman" and other great films spectacles, which she created. She has strong and for ceful imagination and her treatment of dramatic themes is most artistic. In "Till Come Back is most artistic. In "Till I Come Back To You." her lat est creation, Miss Macpherson deals with the conflict in Europe from the standpoint of child and in the pres entation of it's varying phases as ln- fluencing the lives of children, espec- ially in Belgium, she exhibits the wis., est knowledge of a most intricate psy- chologicals subject. :.
 : In this. superb photoplay, "Till 1 Come Back To You," no one is espec- ially featured, but nearly all of the players are of stellar importance. Bry- ant Washburn a well-known player has the leading role and playing op- posite to him is Florence Vidor, one of the best known actresses in mo- tion pictures. Others in the support are G. Butler Clonbough, Winter Hall, Georgia Stone, Julia Faye, Lillian Leighton, Clarence Geldart and others all screen actors of exception merit.

FACING OUR WAR PROBLEMS
By A War Father

BY A War Father
On Facing Our War Problems 2 one Of our War
Mothers writes:
"Oh! It takes just about all we've got, after
one Of those white nights we spend kneeling
beside our pillows, to face the next days work
with lips steady enough to whistle. But we can
do it." s
Don't do it. Don't whistle to show or keep up.
your courage! Sing! We war fathers and wal,
husbands need your singing. God bless you! It's
not the sound from your lips but the song from
your hearts that everyone Of us workers, savers,
worriers need in the hour of trial. s2
When we saw you turn homeward from your
boy who was marching away in the ranks, we
knew you had the courage to 90 through with it
all. You turned to bravely face worse than the:
%cannon's mouth. When we see you on your knees
beside your pillow, we know that whistling is 3
sham, for your clasped hands are held by Him
who giveth and taketh away, and in Whom alone
are your courage and hope.
Sing mother! Sing about your homework, as
you search the paper with anxious eyes, as you
plan for Thrift Stamps or Red Cross effort. Your
song goes to the office with us, trembles about. us
as a comforting melody through the days drive,
and the happiness Of it fingers with us as we make
our way homeward at night. Just a snatch Of
that song of the rosebud days of courtship! Just
a line of the lullaby that put our first born to|
sleep! Just a little Of the melody fromayour soul!
We need it.
Mothers singing and children's laughter-the|
sun shines not, without them. l
