GERALDINE FARRAR IN sTHE
WOMAN GOD FORGOT,- TONIGHT

History is always an interesting
subject-provided one does not have
to study it and take exams. At least,
that is the popular conception of the
school-boy point of view History as
told in books is very dry, but history
as told on the screen is very much
more interesting. When an historical
incident is picked out by one of the
worlds foremost photoplay producers
as the background for a wonderful
romance, then is history made not
only interesting, but also thrilling and
enjoyable.
Cecil B. DeMille, master creator of
cinema triumphs, has scored again.
This time it is the romance of an
Aztec princess who falls in love with
an emissary from the invading Span
ish army.
In "The Woman God Forgot" which
will be presented at the American

height of her screen career as the
Princess of the Aztecs. In this Art
craft production she surpasses any of

GERMAN SPIES AT
WORK IN NEVADA

Arthur NJ. Allen, special agent of
the department of justice, wired
United States Attorney William Wood
burn yesterday afternoon, from Ely,
that the situation among the Indians
in Eastern Nevada was serious and
asking him to arrange to have troops
ready for dispatch upon receipt of an
emergency call.
In consequence of Aliens message.
Woodburn Immediately took steps in
the matter, though he stated last
night that he was not at liberty to
disclose just what action he had
taken
1t is probable, however. that special
agents of the Government have been
sent to the scene of the trouble and
that the situation has been reported
to Fort Douglas. Utah, the nearest
point from which troops could be
sent
According to report received from
the sheriff of White Pine county yes
terday, Piute, Goshuto and Shoshone
Indians are planning an uprising over
a territory $50 miles in length and ex-
tending from Phoebe and Elko. New,
as far east as Deep Creek. Utah.
The Indians are said to have been
supplied with arms and poison by a
white man, suspected of being a Ger
man or of having pro-German SYM
pathies, and melted to attack Indian
agents and settlers.
The plot is said to have been re-
vealed by gathering of Indians near
Phoebe a few days ago and at which
plans for the raid were made.
Feverish excitement is reported in
several Indian camps and settlements.
Trouble with the Indians com
menced several weeks ago at Deep
Greek, Utah. where body of Indians
showed turbulence on account of the
arrest of several Indians for evasion
of the draft and who are at present
being held under indictment.
The present trouble among the In
dians may be a protest against the
arrest of the Deep Greek Indians.
though in some quarters it is believed
to be due to pro-German influence

PRIME PROOF OF
PATRIOTISM HERE

The day the United States declared
war. Harry Hutchinson, a retired
American sailor living in Winnie
mucca, Nevada, wrote to his daughter
and each of his seven sons and urged
them to enlist.
A week ago George Hutchinson and
Harry Hutchinson, two of the sons,
displayed a service flag with six stars
in a window of their home at liza
Liberty street, San Francisco. Their
sister and their five brothers obeyed
their fathers request, and these two
tried to enlist and were rejected.
The Hutchinsons in the service are !:
Miss Ruth Hutchinson, "a years old,
a nurse with the American Red Cross
in France.
John T. Hutchinson, % years old,
with the American expeditionary
forces in France.
Alfred w. Hutchinson, II years old,
with the goth engineers.
Clifford Hutchinson, 18 years old,
serving in the marine corps.
a sailor in the American navy.
Lester Hutchinson, % years old,
private in the army.
Harry Hutchinson lost his left hand
in an accident. George Hutchinson

brothers. Both tried to enlist ant

after he was discharged from ia

From Elko comes word that Alfred
w. Hutchinson, member of the 20tH
engineers, on their way through thai
city several days ago, en- route for tn,
front, was taken from the train sui
fering from the effects of several at
tacks of commissions during his ride
through California and Nevada. The
young soldier had had so many in
jectlons of hypodermic during the trip
as to weaken him considerably and it
was thought at first that his chances
for life we're slim, but he has since
improved rapidly and will recover.

Is TO ONLY GET SIXTY DAYS

In the case of Peter Jacobson, who
made derogatory remarks about any
men who might join the United States
