Play With War
Title PROBES to
Be Straight Farce

Johnny Get Your Gun, by its
title, held out the promise Of being
anything from a girl and music show
to war melodrama.
1t was neither, but the faithful few
who took a. chance" on it at the
Orpheum last evening, wagering
chiefly on the reputation Of John
Cort, the producer, or possibly on the
fact that they had seen Louis Ben
nison as one Of the lesser stars of
filmdom, were fairly we'll repaid, and
spent q pleasantly nirthful evening.
Johnny Get Is straight
farce, lacking some OF the cyc1onic
action that is supposed to distin-
guish all entertainment of this type,
but making up for it in the profuse
use Of slang and some really humor-
Gus situations.
Mr.. Bennison who just missed see
ing himself in the movies here, by be-
ing a day or two late. is starred in a
uniformly good comedy cast. The
prologue, which shows a scene in
motion picture studio, Is palpably
intended to exploit Mr.. Bennison's
motion picture activities, but rit is
clever and entertaining enough to be
quite excusable. r. Bennison pMlays
MS western StulL dCCoIuluB 10 all
the rules of the game established
when owen Wister wrote THE Vir-
ginian". The slouchy walk and the
southern drawl are not forgotten for
a moment.
The company was Of quite surpris-
ing excellence for a road organiza-
ton in wartime. Echlin Gayer as
an English noblenlan Of the conven-
tional stage type, deserves special
mention. j. e. r.

McGlynn was to have held meet

minute, gently swaying and awaiting
results. -" z~-.- .-s
"There was no noise or shock, but
when we got home and heard Of the
disaster elsewhere we journeyed
thither to view the phenomenon
which would be some exhibition If it
could be advertised in advance. AT
intervals we had to slacken speed

Many buildings were heaped in a

removed, giving a sort of toy house

There were many interesting ex-
periences related by the inhabitants.

man said the undulation seemed

Moscow, Tuesday, April 23.--Leon
Trotzky, the Bolshevik minister OF
war and marine, speaking at a meet
nnittee last night, urged the issuance
OF q decree for compulsory military
service.
'Fearing destruction, Russia must
have an army" he said. I'VE don't
know the hour when we will be
challenged by the Imperfalistic
enemy threatening US in the east"
The central executive adopted a
resolution to this effect. The
measure provides for the training OF
workmen, peasants and unemployed
from Is to 40 years Of age for eight
consecutive weeks for at least twelve
hours weekly.
School boys from sixteen to
eighteen will be trained in similar
manner. Women may volunteer.
The enlistment will be for a mini
mum Of six months and desertion
and loss Of citizenship.
Germany has protested to the
Bolshevfk foreign minister, against
the landing OF six thousand allied
troops at MuTmansk, declaring that
permission for such landing was a
violation of the Brest-Litovsk treaty
which stipulated peace with Finland
and noninterference in its internal
life.
General Count Won Mirbach, the
German ambassador to Russia, ar
rived today with staff of more than
seventy persons, including various
commissions and also a Turkish
commission. There has been a re-
port here that the entire Black sea

Melchior Declares
French Are Qbby

- -
Don't let any one tell you a lot OF
junk about how soon it viii end, but
just close your mouth firmly for this
war will last long enough writes
Lieut.. A. w. Melchior. Of Fargo. in
France, to Arthur Belmeyer, Of
Fargo.
THE French. or at least the offic-
ers. are a great bunch OF fellows.
They might be tired of this war and
they have a right to be, but they
surely do show themselves to be hap
by and willing to go through to the
end.
The British, of course, will not gtYe
up till they have won their victory.
And the u. s. A. is in it to see the
finish, too. The old North Dakota is
showing UP well and will come home
with a record"
