SISTERS VISIT CHANGES VIEW
OF CONSCIENTIOUS DIRECTOR

about the Huns. He was formerly
with Buffalo Bill and while playing
three months. in Germany met the
kaiser himself. In his talk with the
objector the sergeant found that, it
had never occurred to Michaeis WHIST
would happen if every man decided to
object here and thus allow the kaiser
to win the war. When Michaeis cor
scented to listen it did not take Riley
long to tell it to him.
Michaels was soon lined up with
Uncle Sam, anxious for victory and
unwilling that it should be left to
others to achieve it. He wanted to do
bit and he wanted a uniform very
badly-urgently. It happened there
was no suit available in such a sud-
den emergency, so Riley turned over
to his convert his own extra suit. The
smiling Michae1s, his sister and
brother-in-law all said in their quaint
way that when it comes to fixing it
you have to leave it to Riley.
Riley loses a suit by the transaction.
When Mfchaels returned from his
motor ride and his sister left he was
eligible for transfer and there was
call waiting for him to go to another
camp. So off he was sent. grateful to
Riley, but sorry he had to wear the
sergeant's suit.
It was Riley's best uniform, too,
bought with his own money. Riley
has some semblance of claim, on the
theory that he lost his suit in line of
duty.

CAMP MEADE, Md, September A.
A visit from his sister and the vision
Of what world this would be for sis
ters if no man would fight turned
Ralph Michaels, Conscientious objector,
into soldier, eager for a uniform
and anxious to do his bit to win the
war. His sister came as a follower
of the non-fighting sect. It was not
any word from her that made Mi
chaels change his mind.
To Sergt. Joseph Riley of the 154th
Depot Brigade is due the credit for
announcing the visit of the sister in
such way that Michaels saw the new
light.
The sister is. married, her husband
being a man who believes in fighting
and has no patience with Directing to
serve when called to the colors. He
and his wife came in an automobile
to give the brother a ride. Riley broke
the news to them that Michaels was
tobjecting" and would not wear a
uniform. The rule is that a man not
in uniform cannot leave his own COM
pany streets. Thus to get the ride
Michaels must put on the uniform.

THE WARRIOR" A REMARKARI.Y Y
CLEAN PICTURE.
National Board OF Review Passes Fea-
ture Without A Single Elimination

The great screen spectacle The
Warrior" with the wonderful Maciste.
star of Gabrielle D'Annunzio's Ca
biria, has garnered another record.
The picture has already been acclaimed
as the most wonderful punch" prOdue-
tion ever made, with record number
of genuine 'hair-raising" thrills
throughout the course Of its seven ab-
sorbinRlv interesting reels. Manager
w. H. Warren, who will present The
Warrior to his patrons. at the Palace
Theatre. July l9 and 20. feels highly
'elated al the fact that the feature Of
feriag has passed the careful scrutiny
of the National Board Of Review with
out the necessity of a single elmina-
tion. This circumstance is most rare
in the censOring of feature productions.
as there is generally some scene TO
incur the displeasure of the review
ing committee The Warrior was
passed in its entirety. q splendid COM
mentary on the whOlesOmeness of the
screen play of love, comedy and war.
There is not the slightest suggestion
of the usual nauseating sex interest
which forms an important part of many
film productions and every reel Of the
seven part picture has a clean, whole
some atmosphere In the wide appeal
which Manager Warren feels The
Warrior" will make to his audience he
wishes to emphasize above all things
the cleanliness of the production, which
will be strong factor in making pic
'tuEe- theatres safe for the women and
children" The strong strain of de-
ightfu comedy which the film con-
tains is particularly attractive to the
female sex while the virile manhood Of
Maciste in his daring adventures in the
Alps will reach the hearts Of the OppO-
site sex. 7-12-2t
