there was a letter to "Mein Liebe
Frieda" in Hamburg, telling of the
rich plumber in the city. saying, how
ever, that the writer was sick of the
war and complaining Of the "ferocious
americans" who were now facing the
Germans.
Out Of Chateau Thierry eastward we
passed pass ot the main city bridge. the main
Marine. and still farther on we saw
the pontoon bridges, some of which
had remained intact, for the Germans
had built them SO that they were q
Few inches below the surface Of the
river and therefore invisible to our
aeroplane observers. On these bridges
American and French infantry and
artillery were now moving slowly but
IN great masses northWard.
We saw the remains of other pom
toons, broken by artillery and air
bombs. How successful we had been
with artillery on these distant and
narrow objects was told me by a
Lieut.. II. l.. Montgomery, Minneap-
oils liaison officer Of the infantry and
artillery. A certain battery was in
formed Of new bridge. The first
three or four 200-poundeys failed to
hit 1t, but Of the next fifteen there
were six direct hits and the bridge,
laden with retreating German infan-
try and wagons, was destroyed. Ger
man bodies are again floating down
the Marine as they did in 1914.
Some of the northern<Marhe villages
are only lightly hit by shells, and
Chateau Thierry itself has suffered
more ruin from German vandalism
than from American and French
shellfire, and the only damage to the
cathedral is that done by the Ger

VIII! LAM FARkUM IS
 UGH MARRIED ACTOR

Once more William Farnum and Jewel Carman are married In the two photoplays they have previously made, the noted pair had off-stage weddings, one of which was supposed to occur after the production was ended. But in the newest William Fox super de luxe photodrama, Amer ican Methods" the star and Miss Cameron have an hOnest-to-goodness wedding before the eyes of a large and fashionable audience.
 This film is to be shown today at the orpheum theater, afternon and night.
 The event took place prosaically enough on stage No. 8 of the William Fox Hollywood, Cal, studio. There an enormous church "set" had been erected, and fitted up with all the fineness which characteIizes French cathedrals. Altar boys from Los Angeles church were employed TOT the day to give every appearance of the truth, and the priest employed was a man famous for his interpretations of clerical roles. He had been the orig inal Frey Junipero Serra in San Cab riel's noted mission play.

 Options are being sought and negoti- ations are pending on a tract includ- ing several thousands of acres in the TampicO district in Mexico, the big gusher field. The operations of the company are not confined to any state or field and the oil scouts of the cor poration are continuously in the field for new and proven territory where well-known companies are operating. Leases of the company are perpetual, and drilling is progressing on several tracts. The company will probably erect it's refinery in or near Bishops field in Wyoming, on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad.

HUNDREDS WOULD SEE
 FARNUM IN THE SPY

The numerous patrons waiting to get into the Central theatre last night are proof of the popularity of the laI- est William Fox picture, "The Spy, in which Dustin Farnum is the star, and which shows continuously today afternoon and night. Proof positive of the production's excellence is the satisfied expression on the face of every person who leaves the theatre. William Fox has given a photoplay which in every manner gains the ap- proval of those who see it.
 "The Spy" is a war play which gets away from the usual empty noise and blatant melodrama so commonly asso- ciated with productions of this kind. In the entire length of the picture not a single battle scene is flashed on the screen. The thread of the story is concerned more with the intricacies of international relations and the revela- tion Of diplomatic spisodes with which the public is unfamiliar.
 Dustin Farnum takes the role of an indoleIt young American, who goes to Germany in order to obtain a list of the Imperial Governments spies in the United States. He runs into every sort of danger and takes his life into his hands more than once. In the end, however, he gains the list he has wanted.
