An amusing story is told Of Doug
las Fairbanks ingenuity. At one time
he wanted to attend a dance at New.
port which the girl of his dreams at
tended. But Douglas had no pass.
And he had no way of getting one to
the swell" affair Putting on his full
dress suit, however, and trusting to
his proverbial luck, he made a bold
front" and marched nonchalantly up
to the entrance. An Ethiopian babe
him stand and deliver. Douglas had
no invitation to deliver. and putting on
his best company smile. tried to hyp-
notice the darby. Failure crowned
his efforts. Like military general,
studying his future battle ground,
Fairbanks roamed around the hotel
and discovered what he thought was n
susceptible darby. The comedian held
up dollar bill temptingly in the air.
The darkey stirred, smiled, hemmed,
and commenced to gently vibrate to-
ward the bill, but cautious look
a:ound disclosed the fact that the pro-
prietor of the hotel had fixed an eagle
eye on both parties to the verbal con-
tract and the agreement was auto
matically cancelled But Douglas
would not acknowledge defeat. She
was in There. He had to see Her.
And how he accomplished his end is
shown in screamingly funny manner
at the Murray Theatre on Sunday in

NEW YORK, May 3.-Oscar Mouvet
who Is one Of the few survivors of the
original foreign legion of France, is
making short visit to this country,
after which he will return to the bat
tlefields. He was the only non-conl.
missioned American officer in the for.
eign legion.
He received wounds in Champagne,
the Somme drive and at Verdun, but
the most memorable event according
to him was the death of Allan Seeger.
the poet, which he witnessed on the
battlefield. ...-
On his shoulder Mouvet wears a
cord which signifies that the legion
to which he belongs has been cited
more than six times for conspicuous
bravery. That the legion must have
gone through many hard battles can
readily be imagined from the fact that
it is reduced from its original strength

L. S. SOLDIERS TAKING
ACTIVE PART AT FRONT
War Departments Review Points to
Increasingly Important Undertak-
ings by PerShing's Forces.

increasingly important activity by
the American forces on the western
front, and the return for rest at leave
station of the men who have complet-
ed their first period of duty in the
trenches are noted in this weeks re-
view of military operations by the war
department.
while no major undertakings were
recorded in the west, yet the front was
the scene of hard-driven assaults of
minor character.
Our own forces are taking an in
creasingly important part in the oper-
ations Last week We recorded the
participation of our artillery in the
very successful thrust made by the
French in the region of the Butte du
Mesnil. This week the presence of
our infantry in a very important area
of the Chemin des Danes is reported.
Here our patrols have been outside
our barbed wire and have undertaken
number of scouting expeditions in
No Mans Land. which were success
fully carried through.
"At the time our detachments were
coming up into the trenches. they
were under heavy hostile shell fire
nevertheless our men made their way
to their stations without confusion or
casualties. 1t is useful TO note that
our forces now in action in this, one
of the most active sectors of the en-
tire French front, have acquitted
/ themselves very creditably.
"Our men who have completed their
first period of duty in the trenches
have arrived at the leave center estab-
lished at AK les Bains. This is the
first of a series of rest centers it is
proposed to establish where our men
can find rest and recreation after the
trying ordeal of trench life

day Relatives Not Yet Located.

W. McCawley, young man employ
ed by Nelson & Christiansen in hauling
gravel on barges for Highway District

distance turned around and swan for
the barge. but sank before he reached
it, being impeded by heavy boots and
clothing. It is believed he was over
come by cramps. His body was re-
covered Monday and is being held
pending search for relatives.

that McCawley's body was found in
water not more than five feet deep,
and that when he turned from the
shore he must have been in not more
than four feet of water, and could
have waded ashore. McCawley was
