.E[@i EMPIRE


The artistic genius of Elsie Fergu-
son, the talented Aircraft star, finds
suitable expression IN the stirring pic
ture production, THE Lie" based
upon Henry Arthur Jones' successful
play, which will be the leading fea-
ture of the bill at the Empire theatre
today ana tomorrow. The scenes of
the pictures are laid In England and
thew depict the life history of two
sisters, one of noble instincts, the
other weak, vaci1lating and treacher-
Gus. The latter is about to elope with
a man, but this is prevented by his
sudden death Then follows the I'M
happy disclosure that she is about to
become a, mother. The elder sister
breaks an engagement with the man
she loves in order to shield her sister
and to protect the family name from
disgrace.
With this for its groundwork, THE
Lie" Is intensely dramttfc and many
of its scenes have a heart appeal sell
dom conveyed so effectively in a mo-
ton picture. The picture was direct
ed by ]. Searle Dawley, and the seem
ario was the work of Charles Ma1gne,
a famous scenarloist connected with
A the Aracraft work.

Gen. Crowder Explains Military
Order Is Made to Release
Fighters for Service.
IS PURELY WAR MEASURE
Several Communities Apparently Have
Confused Order With AntiIoafer
Laws In Some States-Want3
Fighting Men Set Free.

Washington, July Accommodating
on the new work or fight regulations
which are in effect, Provost Marshal
General Crowder emphasized that the
order does not affect men outside Of
draft ages. Several communities ap-
parently have confused 1t with anti
loafer laws In some states.
General Crowder explained that the
work or fight order Is purely military
step and that regulations regarding
employment or military service for un-
registered men are not embraced In
his functions. The only effect the Or
der has upon persons not subject to
draft Is that 1t offers them more op-
portunitles Of employment. Places
vacated by men liable to draft neces-
sarily are left open for men outside
of the draft, he explained.
OF the service performed by men
who leave uonessential pursuits to
take up essential work, General Crow
der said:
"The army and navy are taking the
do the fighting. But that Is only one
part Of the national task imposed by
the war. The other part. the part that
falls on the other men, Is to set free
these men who are to do the fighting.
Every man who helps to set free a
fighting man Is helping to fight and
win the war.
Now many Of the men Of draft age
In deferred classes 2, 3 and A, deferred,
that is, on the ground Of dependency,
are not engaged In effective industry.
The spectacle Is not satisfying one
of contingent Of drafted men from
class / being marched down the street
to camp while other men Of their own
age, watching them from the windows,
remain behind to sell cigarettes or dis
pense soda fountain drinks, solely be
cause they have received deferment
on grounds Of dependency.
IF all these men Of the same age
are to stay behind let them at least
get into work more effective to help
the war. Their deferment takes them
out of military service and yet serves
no economic war purpose whatsoever.
They are Of military age and therefore
have the primary duty to do war work.
If their dependency gives them defer
ment from immediate military war
work. let them at least do something
economically useful to maintain the
nations welfare while at war.
'"rhey should get into some useful
and effective occupations. = :, "r~
