GUAM is A LOYAL ISLAND
Voluntary Universal Training Helps
vi Very Materially In Ameris
canization.

5S How far the people Of the Pacific
island Of Guam have pr0gressedsin the
process Of Americanization is indicat-
ed in the current issue Of the Guam
News Letter, copies Of which have re-
Gently reached Seattle, Wash.,. the
Post-Intelligencer Of that city states.
The island, which is our cable outpost
for the Philippine islands and the orr
ent, is governed by Capt. Roy 9. Smith
Of the American navy, under the over
sight of the navy department. Cap
tain Smith seems to be developing q
very ardent brand Of Americanism
among the island. people, who are
+ known AS Chamorros and have q
strong admixture Of Spanish blood.
The News Letter describes the cele-
bration Of Washington's birthday in
Guam, to which the people flocked
from all parts Of the island, coming
by launch, owing to the absence Of any
island highway system. The proceeds
of the various enterprises, amounting
to $1,270.55, We're donated to the Red
Cross, and we gather that the program
Of amusement was purely American.
For instance, the shot dog stand
realized $1O9.94; Buffers soda, $685.
So; knock the cat down, $112.O7; the
moving picture show, $3.50; the jit-
ney dance, $45.6O; wheel Of fortune,
$350.1O; lemonade stand, $72O3; base
ball game, $16.40., From all sources
the Red Cross received $1,000, and
subscriptions were given for $50, 900 in
Liberty bonds. -
!. More than this, the island militia
had its> first parade Some time ago
Governor Smith put into effect uni
versal military training law at the re-
quest Of the people, this being the
first portion Of American territory in
which such a law has been made effec-
tive. There are 1000 militiamen, the
government supplying guns and am
munition and the regular khaki uni
form Of the United States army. Seven
per cent Of Guam's population is in
the militia, at which rate, If we Of the
mainland kept up with the Chamorros,
we, should have an army of 100000.
The flags and floats Of the parade in
duced a tremendous enthusiasm in
the populace.

AT REX THE FOURTH

Probably the most unusual photo
playof the season is the Metro Yorke
production, "The Haunted Pajamas,"
with Harold Lockwood as star,
which will be seen at the Rex thea
ter tomorrow, the Fourth, all-day
rum Adapted from the we'll known
novel by. Francis Perry Elliott and
directed by Fred J. Balshofer, this
production partakes of the nature of
farce, an extravaganza, and a
powerful dramatic story. Nothing
like it has hitherto been seen on the
screen. Further attractiveness is
added by the clever work of the IA
vorite star, Harold Lockwood, and of
his charming leading woman, Carmel
Myers. Z -
Charlie Chaplin will also be seen in
a two-reel scream.
