CONVINCING REALISM

--latest big William Fox Film
Thrill The Spectators.
SCREEN DRAMA GRIPS HARD

Much has been said about the
sensational photoplay, 1.-The Hon
or System. l." which will be seen
in breckenridge soon, and in gen
eral human sympathy aroused from
this angle one might lose sight
OF the other great and distinguish
ing qualities of this master drama
which r. A. Walsh directed and
which William Fox is presenting.
Eliminating the great moral
story, the powerful record of hui
man love and sympathy. and
Judging it from the viewpoint OF ~
spectacle. one is forced to the con-
clusiOn that it is one of the fines;
pieces Of realism the motion pie
ture stage has yet seen.
True. no great cities tumble.
AMI II" heavens fall. and the bow
els of the earth are not exposed
TO view. bat this photoplay shows
more real. flat on the earth human
existence than amy film story thai;
has yet been made for the amu,sc-
mrnt of the public
There are scenes depicting H."
frontier life of Arizona which arr.
without parallel on the screen.
Mr.. Walsh was born and raised
in Arizona and shows it frs, in.
his selection of types. lie posi-
lively uses no Bergen. \. j. COW

New Employment Bureau.

The United States employment SER
vice was this week divorced from the
Bureau of immigration, and is being
made separate arm of the Depart
ment of Labor.
Congressman Frederick n. Mhlman
of the Sixth Maryland district advo-
Gated this departure upon taking up
his duties in Congress last April. Mr..
Zihlman, knowing that war was inev-
liable, and haying studied the labor
conditions of the belligerant countries
realized that vast army of workers
would be necessary to sustain the
fighting armies in the field. He saw
that England and France, hurled un-
prepared into the war, had made a
number of mistakes in regard to la
Dor, which this country might avoid
by the classification of labor through
a great employment service.
Secretary of Labor W. B. Wilson
has been working on such plan for
several months, and with the Presj-
dents approval this week appointed
Mr.. J. B. Densmore of Montana and
a solicitor in the Department of La
Dor, director of the United States en-.
ployment service which will mobilize
5000, 900 war workers. Mr.. Charles
7. Clayton, formerly secretary to ex-
congressman David J. Lewis of Mary
land and Robert Watson of Massa-
chusetts were selecteq rs as assistants is a to
Mr.. Densmore in perfecting the or
ganization.

Insurance For Every Fighter.
Advertisement.

The Treasury Department is max
ing every effort to have every member
of Americas fighting forces take ad-
vantage of the Government-insurance
plan, which Secretary McAdoo asserts
to be the most just and humane
provision ever made by any nation
for soldiers and sailors" "
The purpose is rapidly being achiev-
ed, the insurance having passed the
third billion mark in the total of pol
icies written, and there are many
military units In which every mem
ber has taken insurance.
The automatic insurance provided
by the law is only partial and limited
protection, payable only wife, child,
or widowed mother and ceases after
February II, 1918. 1t is important,
therefore, not only to the soldiers and
SAILORS Of the country but to their
families and dependents, that before
that date they avail themselves OF the
full Government protection, which
can go as high as SO, 900 and is pay
able to a wife, husband, child. grand
child, brother, or sister.
The law also provides for the reed
ucation and rehabilitation of the to-
tally disabled and monthly compen-
sation to those disabled.

Jan. IA, 1918.

The Catoctin Clarion,
Thurmont, Md.
Gentlemen:
In last weeks CLARION l noticed a
statement which says, that the men
now at Kelly Field must be moved in
order to make room for the drafted men. y
l think if you would investigate that
matter you will find that no drafted men
are or are to be at Kelly Field. The
troops have to move but for other pur-
poses chan that. In nearly every camp
in the country there is at least one COM
pany awaiting its turn at Kelly Field
and all companies assembled would make
enough to crowd out the troops now
there.
While this camp is for drafted men
only, my company of 250 men was allow
ed to come here temporarily. We will
move at any time but our highest officers
do not know and will not know until the
last minute whether we will 60 to Texas
or to California. Both of these places
are full at present and the first one that
makes room for US will be our destina-
tion. My company will be the first of
all to enter either place that makes room
for US because we are In drafted man. s
camp and our barracks are In demand
now. While would like to 60 to Texas
with the possibilities of running into
some of the home boys, l have other rea-
sons to make me hope California will be
our next move.
While here at Camp Meade we have
done good bit of drilling but have had
it easy and allowed lots of privileges we
won't have when we arrive at our regu-
lar post.
Please correct your statement that |
spoke of. If you think am wrong, !
will gladly send official proof. Will let
you hear from me again sometime.
Yours very truly,
Phil. Rogers.
Write again Philip. Information is
what we are looking for. ED.
