Match In
Seattle

SEATTLE, June 22.-Trap-
shooters and gun clubs thruout
the country today will focus their
attention here when William II.
Heer, Oklahoma state champion,
and Frank Troeh, of Vancouver,
compete for a $4,000 prize of Lib
erty bonds as the feature event OF
the Northwest trapshooting tour
nament scheduled to open this
afternoon at o'clock at the Green
Lake Gun club.
Troeh, in the belief of men,
bers of the Green Lake Gun club,
is the best shot in the country and
they recently posted $4,000 Lib
erty bonds that he would beat any
gunner who wanted to accept the
challenge. Oklahoma sportsmen
also entertain the same belief in
Heer.
Besides this event, seven state
champions are entered in the big
tourney for the Northwest honors.

fine had it not been for tele-
gram received just as George and
his bride were about to start on
their honeymoon. This telegram
told of the unexpected visit of
said aunt.
A series of exciting situations
follows. But as is the case with
all lovers, everything turns out
bright and rosey, and all the
clouds have silver Innings.
The company supporting Jo-
seph Santley, is composed of well
known Broadway players, among
the most prominent being Lau-

To Clash
Especial to The Times)

SEATTLE, June 22.-Dan Salt,
well known manager here, has
signed up two classy lightweights
in Willie Robinson and Muff Bron-
son. for his smoker in the Arena
June 20.
Ever since Bronson disposed of
Trambitas Darcy in Portland,
Seattle fight fans have been look
ing forward eagerly to this match,
and the Rose City fighter was nev-
er in better condition than he is
now. Those who know Robinson
and have followed him closely
thru his recent fights, know that
he is a real two-handed boxer and
has got a wallop in each hand.
Bronson has been slated for sew
eral big events before the bout
here and will be kept in good con-
dition and probably will set a
furious pace in the go with Rob
inson.
He will also meet George Ingle
in 10-round bout in Aberdeen
on the Fourth when he will at
tempt to gain the Northwest cham
pionship.

Prettiest Girls

casts on tour. "Oh, Boy" with
Joseph Santley and a host of the

of two consecutive years in New

seven months in Chicago, under
the direction of Messrs. Com

"Oh, Boy" is by Guy Bolton
and p. G. Wodehouse. with

Hist! Theda Is With Us
Hist. Hist, The vampire.

Kiss me. my fool" quoth she.
Theda Bara, as a 1918 vamp,
far exceeds her former efforts as
a seducer. She comes to the
Melbourne in "A Fool There
Was" the hook of Brownies
which portrays the downfall of a
strong man. fortified with wealth,
honor and a wonderful home, be-
cause of his fascination for a
heartless woman.
A few years ago, Theda Bara
appeared in this picture and
scored a great success.
The present picture, brot up to
date, as far exceeds the former
film in brilliancy as night does
day.
The reproduction of "A Fool
There Was" Is the beginning of
a movement in FINLAND to bring
back to life many favorite stories
which would still be greatly well
coined by the public, which never
tires of good, strong plot.

far out into the sea, to be fol-

NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct. 9.
T1l:15 a. m.-By The Associated
Press-The American battalion which
HAD been lost in the forest of Argonne
Tor nearly five days was rescued at
GAO o'clock yesterday morning. With
their ammunition nearly exhausted
and the men weakened from lack of
food, the men were on verge Of col
lapse, yet, in spite of the terrific en-
emy opposition, 1t was found the bat
TALON was virtually intact. Few OF
It's members had been killed or
wounded.
The lost battalion, whose where
abouts was a mystery for some time
after Its disappearance during the at
tack along the edge of the Argonne,
comprised several hundred men un-
der the command of Mai. Charles
Whittlesey. Completely surrounded
by the Germans, they made their
stand with their pistols and rifles and
few machine guns as defensive
weapons. When relief reached them

their stock of cartridges was almost
gone and the men were In weakened
condition from lack of sustenance and
the effects of the dampness OF these
fall days, from which the trapped in
fantrymen had no blankets to protect
them.
The relief expedition encountered
great difficulty in aiding the rescued
men, some OF whom were so weak
they had to be carried Medical sup
plies and food are being rushed to
their aid.
Several efforts were made yesterday
to obtain reports from the lost bat
talon by messenger and carrier pig
con. A basket containing number
of pigeons was lowered by a para
chute in the vicinity of where the
Americans were thought to be. The
aviator intrusted with this task de-
clared that the basket seemed to fall
exactly where he intended 1t should.
but no bird had returned after num-
ber of hours.
The "lost battalion" pushed ahead
with the other troops when the first
American attack to the west Of Yer
dun began They were surrounded
in all probably because they were no,
used to forest warfare. Advancing in
two widely separated columns the en-
envy was able to infiltrate behind
them without being seen.
AS soon as the members of the bat
talon missed the troops to the right
and left of them, they tried to find
them but their efforts were checked
for the time being by the rain and
terrain conditions.
Many times in the course of the
day airplanes flew over the section Of
the forest where the Americans were
believed to be and messages and
food wre dropped for them.
