AT THE COLONIAL TONIGHT

douglas Fairbanks, at his greatest.
IN Bound in Morocco" at the Col
onial this evening.
Across the burning sands of the
Sahara Desert a boy is motoring to-
wards the Country OF the Setting
SUM-" as the Moors call their pic
turesque country Far to his rear a
sand cloud rears its heights into the
brassy sky and scudding along be-
meath IL is an Arabian policeman
driving motor car in swift pursuit.
But the fact that he is pursued con-
Germs the boy little, for his shibboleth
is the pursuit of happiness. why
should a soldier of fortune stop and
argue the right OF way with an Arab
ian motor cop? Perish the thought.
And as the boy proceeds, he justifies
his neglect of his swarthy pursuer by
rejecting that he does not speak the
mans language anyhow. So he drives
blithely on, and smiles more bein-
quantity than ever when a tribe OF
fierce bandits seek to stop him. The
boy is a wonder at the trigger and al
though they nearly get him, he laughs
gleefully as he gets them by the doz-
en-, and he cavorts in delight as he
motors out of the melee, leaving the
bandits swearing vengeance upon him
for those of their companions whom
he has ruthlessly slain and wounded
He reaches the city of El Harib and
while viewing his surroundings criti-
cally he learns that beautiful girl is
to be sold into bondage to the cruel
Basha FL Harib, Governor of the
Province of Harib, because of her in
ability to pay a debt her dead father
owed the Basha. Her mother seeks
in vain to prevent her cherished
daughters sale, and she is dragged
into the harem, screaming in terror.
And now the boy is involved in net
OF intrigue, mystery and peril How
he foils the callous Basha, rides away
with the girl, and generally makes
his presence felt in the sleepy Ian
gourous little Ell Harib and how he
smiles his torturous way through the
dangers that tax his American in
genuity and wit to their utmost, is
story that would spoil in the telling.
The climax comes when, just as the
boy is almost to escape from the city,
pursued by mob of townspeople and
police, he is confronted by the ban
dts who owe him deep and inveter-
ate grudge which only his hearts
blood can satisfy. The combat that
follows is something great. Mack
Sennett comedy also. This is great
show, so don't miss it.

Y. M. C. A. WOMAN
UNDER SHELL FIRE
Miss Mary Clark, Of Boston,
Four Hours In An Open
Trench
A THRILLING EXPERIENCE

An experience not often shared by
women in this war was that of Miss
Mary o. Clark, of Boston, Mass, now
Y. NJ. G. A. canteen worker in
France.a For no less than four hours
Miss Clark was in the midst of
fierce bombardment by the Boche
guns, part of the time lying with de-
tachment of American soldiers in an
open trench. In the same attack later
two Red Triangle workers, DR.. John
Brownlee Voorhees,, of Hartford,
Conn, and e. w. Ballew, of Lexington,
ILL.,, were hit by shell splinters and
severely injured
The village where Miss Clark's can
teen is situated is in an advanced po-
sition close to the front line trenches.
Until the day in question, a Sunday,
the Huns had not paid much atten-
ton to this particular part of France
behind the lines However, in this
particular part of the war zone, the
Toul Sector, there is no telling where
his morning hate will break forth. In
this case apparently, he was only
biding his time to wipe this particu-
lar village off the map.
The day dawned brilliant with sun
shine. Shortly after s A. NJ Miss
Clark was getting ready for breakfast
when the first shell sailed in over the
roof tops, and landed in a dump heap
not more than fifty yards or so from
her open window. The first crash did

She looked out just in time to see the
dumpheap fly skyward, descending
presently in showers of brick, dirt,
farmyard and other detritus. A sec
ond shell followed Immediately, upon
which pandemonium broke loose in
the hamlet. The detachment of Amer
lean troops billeted there came pour
ing out of doorways and windows, all
intent on seeing what was going on;
and with them came few scattering
French peasants, the remnant of the
villages former population
AS the shells by this time were fall
ing thickly among the roofs and alleys
nearby, Miss Clark decided it was time
to seek some less exposed position
Accordingly she locked her trunk, and
picking up what small valuables she
had with her. she made her way into
the street
A French peasant was just passing.
Miss Clark recalls that the woman
was wasting no time, but as she saw

inquire "are you afraid, AIissg' Miss

LETTER FROM Mr..
c. H. LIVINGSTONE
August "a, 1918.

August "a, 1918.
My Dear Mr.. President:
The Boy Scouts of America are
glad to respond with their very best
efforts to your request for co-opera-
ton in the Fourth Liberty Loan.
May invite your attention to the
resolution of our National Council
passed at the last annual meeting,
pledging the organization to 100 per
cent unqualified and energetic sup
port of the Government in every way,
and requiring that every scout and
scout official earnestly apply himself
in carrying out such program for ma
tional service as may be agreed upon
by authorized representatives of the
United States Government?
1t will be gratifying to the scouts
to read your splendid letter as well as
to know Of the generous attitude of
others who represent our Government
and especially the warm appreciation
shown by the governors of the Fed
eral Reserve Banks and chairmen of
the various Liberty Loan Committees.
II is believed the next campaign
will result in even greater service
than heretofore. Certainly this will
be the aim Of every scout because it
is the desire of each of us to do our
utmost to stand by our slogan,
Every Scout to Save Soldier" and
thus help win the war in the shortest
possible time.
All that we have is at your COM
mand for service to this end.
Sincerely yours,
COLIN H. LIVINGSTONE,
President.

President Of the United States,

AM THE COLONIAL NExT WEEK

There is to be seen at the Colonial
Theatre each evening next week pho
toplay attractions of exceptionally in
teresting and pleasing quality.
The attraction for Monday is an
exceedingly pleasing one, being bril-
liant Alice Brady, in an extremely
tense and appealing story, "The Or

tains in "The Ordeal of Rosetta" the
zenith of her brilliant career; she en-

AT THE REPUBLIC MONDAY

Theda Barra in the 1918 version of
1.-THE Two Orphans" is to be the big
attraction at the Republic Theatre
on Monday.
The story of "The Two Orphans" is
known to everyone. In its new form
it is even more thrilling and will win
the applause of millions of motion
picture goers. Miss Bara has never
failed to give splendid entertainment.
In "The Two Orphans" she plays the
part of girl who is not of the vam-
pire type, and she establishes for her
self a separate place in pictures. In
this picture her versatility is shown
to a remarkable degree. 1t is one of
the many reasons why she has so big
a place in the hearts of picture fans.
"The Two Orphans" has been re-
made and retitled by Mr.. Fox and is
far snappier than when it was first
released.

PershInu Of French Descent.

Some interesting associations may
easily be woven into news item tell
ing about celebration which recently
took place at Laclede, Mo. The town,
one of the Oldest In the old South
west Of the United States, was named
after Pierre Ligueste Laclade, native
Of Bion, France, founder of st. Louis,
Mo. Years ago man named Pershing,
a descendant of an emigrant who left
Alsace when 1t was a French province,
settled in Laclede. His son, the pres
ent Gen. Joseph Pershing, commander
Of the American expeditionary forces
in France, was born there. The cele-
bration referred to was, of course,
In honor Of General Pershing, and it
was one of the most enthusiastic ever
held In what used to be an almost
exclusively French section of the
country.

A seven-Time Winner.

The unique record Of having been
torpedoed seven times is held by VII
liam Jessop, seafarer of Hull. Eng
land, who is seventy-two years of age.
He is still on the active list. "Young
men," he said, shave sometimes re-
fused to sail with me, as they think
shall be unlucky." Jessop is the old
est member of the Ships Cook and
Stewards union in Hull, and general
ly sails as cook or steward. During
the first year of the war he was tor
pedoed three times, and the last four
ships on which he sailed were all lost.
His courage, however, remains undi-
minished. II will sign on to go any
where" he declared.

MHAT rs HOME sERYICEl

Home Service is not mystic or
technical thing. Home Service does
not call for the expenditure OF large
sums of money. Home Service is NOT
charity.
Home Service is nothing more than
sympathetic and intelligent UNDER
standing-and decent human friend
ship. Many cases, it is true, call for
tact and skill and experience. Many
nroblems are delicate and must be
approached with care. But the won-
derful results achieved sometimes
with very simple materials make the
heart glad and restore ones faith in
human nature.

aever been so busy in her life. Many
are five or six weeks deep in work,

better than the needle, and they are

was at that exact instant; however,
she shook her head, when the French
woman, bidding her to follow, made
off down the village street.
Halfway to the end of the street the
Y. M. c. A. worker encountered the
Colonel in command of the billeted
troops He and the regimental chap
lain were looking out of their quart
ers, watching the bursting shells.
However, as there was lull now, they
invited Miss Clark to join them at
breakfast.
The party had hardly seated when
again uproar broke loose. At the
brought the news that already there
were several casualties in the town.
Things began to happen. then, one
after another. A shell pitching over
the roof tops laid waste a nearby
house, and was followed Immediately
by another still nearer. You'll have
to move out of here" the Colonel told
Miss Clark. Down the street, just be-
yond the town limits, was a refuge
trench laid out for just this emer-
gency, and the Colonel directed Miss
Clark toward it. Once she was headed
in the right way, the Colonel and the
Chaplain went off to see what was
taking place elsewhere.
1t was evidently much Miss Clark
when she reached the trench, found
it already occupied A section of
troops, acting under orders, was
standing there on the alert; and after
gasp at the sight of a woman, an
American woman into the bargain,
there in the midst of that she'll fire,
they made haste to help Miss Clark
into the trench.
They even tried to tuck her into a
sheltered corner in one of the zig
gags, the man there giving up his
place. Miss Clark, however, would
not let him move; and taking her
chance with the soldiers, she stood up
among. them.
Shells were again falling every
where. Presently a runner brought
in the news that the regimental chap
lain had been killed; and that the Col
onel's orderly had been slain also
while standing beside the Colonel. A
later runner brought the report that
the orderly had saved the ColoneIs
life by leaping in front of his COM
mander when the shell burst.
The fire. now was a mixture of
shrapnel and high explosive shells.
Walls were falling everywhere, and
when one of the big ones landed there
was an eruption of brick, stone and
tiling that filed the surrounding land
scape.
what did you dog Miss Clark was
asked.
do? Why, when the soldiers duck
ed, ducked. too There was nothing
else to do"
Occasionally there were brief lulls
in the firing. None of them lasted
more than a few minutes, and each
evidently was trick on the part of
the Hun to entice the unwary into the

cease for two or three minutes, when

steel. Anyone caught out at this i'm
stant was almost certain to suffer.
Miss Clark does not profess she
wasn't frightened. That storm OF
noise and bursting metal would have
frightened anyone. However, the sol
diers all agree that the woman "Y''
worker kept her nerve during all the
trying ordeal. Now and then a shell
would fall close to the trench i'm which
she was standing, but fortunately
none fell into the trench itself Again
and again, though, the soldiers in the
trenches begged Miss Clark to crawl
into the comparative safety of the an

the soldiers say she made.
And there she stayed However,
along toward noon the bombardment
abruptly ended, and after waiting to

Miss Clark to make her escape. AS
the cloud of smoke and dust settled,
she climbed out of the trench, and
made her way along the now ruined
street to the regimental headquarters.
