Dustin Fnrnum nj the Isis.

At the Isis for the remainder OF this
week. Dustin Farnum will be pre-
scented in the stupendous William Fox
production. The Spy" rated as one
of the big spcctacles OF the year in
picturedom. The Spy" Is a war play
which gets away from the usual empty
noise and blatant melodrama so com
monty associated with productions OF
this kind. In the entire length of the
picture not a single battle scene Is
flashed on the screen The thread OF
the story is concerned more with the
.ntricGc!es OF international relations
and the revelation of diplomatic cpl
sodcs with which the public is I'M
familiar.
Dustin F'arnum takes the role OF an
!ndolent young American, who goes
to Germany in order to obtain a list
of the imperial governments spies in
the United States. He runs into every
sort OF danger and takes his life into
MS hands more than once. In the
end. however. he gains the list he
has wanted.

conduct from tho King OF Roumania
They had been held for quarantine. g.
Word regarding the leaving came
from Minister Nopicka, who said the
Austrian authorities had attempted to

the Roumanian government that s,me
assistance should be given, aud prov!-
sion was made for them to leave I'M
mediatcly.
The minister. in reporting the in
cident TO tho State Department said
the Austrian action was regarded as a

ALL CAN TAKE
 LIBERTY BONDS
 SAY LOCAL BANKERS

Notwithstanding that 1t was ex- plained in The Empire when. the announcement was made that the subscription of the Alaska Packers Association for the full amount of Alaska's allotment of Liberty Bonds that it was the intention of Alaska to go over the top for dou- ble her quota, there are some peo- pie who think all the Liberty Bonds that can be held in Alaska are taken, according to Harold H. Post, Cashier of the First Ma tional Bank.
 This is not correct. The Gov ernment will accept all the offers for bonds that are made. In fact it is. expected that the $6,000,000, 900 loan will be greatly oversub- scribed, and that it really will reach $S,OOO, 100000 or more.
 The First National Bank, the B. M. Behrends Bank and the First Territorial Bank will all accept subscriptions for bonds and all guar antee their delivery, no matter how many may be taken.

 Where the fight is thickest, you'll
 find me there"

Arrangements Have Been Made To Donate 1t Through the Local

Ill.,

Linen for hospital use in France will be contributed by citizens of Juneau this week through the Red Cross "Linen Shower" which is now in progress, with Mrs. H. l.. Faulk- ner and Mrs Guy McNaughton act ing as the committee in charge of the Juneau chapter of the Red Cross
 The plan referred to as the Red Cross Linen Shower" is plan asking each family to contribute one article or set of articles of house hold linen from their reserve stock for hospital use in France. In this way, without material reduction either of the household stock, or of the source of supply, large quantities of articles may be obtained for hos pital use without the delay involved in purchase through commercial channels due to difficulty in secur ing prompt delivery and proper prices.
 The committee in charge gives out the following information:

 Hand towels, 1Sx30.
 Handkerchiefs, 1Sx18.
 Napkins, 14x14.
 (Above dimensions are approxi- mate Only.)
 Sheets 64x1O2. Sheets must not be smaller than dimensions given, but may be a little larger.
 The word linen should not be taken in it's customary, nor it's tech nical sense. Such towels, napkins, handkerchiefs and sheets as are reg ularly used in American homes are what are meant and what is asked for
 All articles must be new, or sub stantially new They should be strong rather than of fine texture. They must be in good, useable, and CLEAN condition. Every article should be laundered before being tur- ned in to the committee. Every ar ticle contributed will be put to real use in hospitals whose equipment and facilities are sorely taxed.
 Every resident of Juneau is ex pected to feel personal responsibility in the matter Of supplying a portion of this hospital linen. Hospital linen is an absolute necessity for

WAR DIET HEALTHFUL

The war and the Government are now doing for this nation what the people as individuals would not do for themselves. It is now shown that wheatless and near wheatless menus are blessing in disguise in that they have been the means of improving the health of the Amer ican people. Wheat four is not as good for the digestive organs as are the coarser meals and Hours which have become part of the daily bill of fare.
 If the people will only cut out the grumbling and cheerfully buckle down to the war menus we will soon have a healthier and happier nation.

HOW TO DISARM GUN MAN IS TRICK SHOWN IN FILM

Harry Carey, Universal Star ap bearing in Three Mounted Men" recently sacrificed a perfectly good right thumb, to some extent, in demonstrating a new trick of self de fense. Carey showed how a person can disarm a gunman, and at the same time prevent the assailant from firing the weapon in the brief mix-up.
 The bad man, in this picture, shoves a gun against Hary's ribs. Just as the bad man is about to send his intended victim into the next world, Harry grabs the revol- yer, and with realistic care, shoves his thumb over the hammer of the weapon. This proved effectual pre- vention of a shot when Harry exc cuted the stunt, but it tore his thumb.
 "A torn thumb is better than a hole through the heart" remarked the film star as they were binding the wound kAiSER'S GOAT IN FILM
