IRISH LAND BILL
 FAVORS SOLDIERS

Dublin, Sept. 20-The Irish Gov ernment Bill to provide land for sol diers and sailors follows the lines ex- pected by those familiar with the working of the Irish land code. The English journals which treated Lord French's proclamation as if 1t meant that every soldier was to get a farm were not aware of the fact that land is being constantly distributed at pres ent among poor and deserving ten ants and their sons with view to re- lieving congestion and increasing the size of farms.
 The policy of favoring soldier ap- plicants for such grants was warmly advocated by Mir. John Redmond, but technical difficulties stood in the way and the legislation now introduced removes them. It provides that Irish men who have served in the present war shall be regarded as qualified to purchase land from the Congested Districts Board or the Land Commis- sion in the same way as tenants ol proprietors of small holdings are now qualified

EMPIRE

Beautiful Ethel Clayton will be seen at the Empire theatre today and to- morrow in her first Paramount photo play, The Girl Who Came Back" q picturization of Leah Kleschna" a famous stage play. Elliott Dexter is leading man and Theodore Roberts is in the cast. The play is one of the strongest, 1t is said, that has been seen here in long time. There are emotional moments of the highest type and yet the play has decidedly up lifting tendency and is anything but morbid.
 Miss Clayton has done much i'm portant screen work but 1t is declared that this represents the best that she has ever done. The role is suited to her splendid talents and she has an excellant cast and production. Rob- ert G. Vignola directed and the adap- tat ion is by Beulah Marie Dix.

BRITISH AIRMEN
 BOMB GERMANY

Among the many wonders of the war, few things are more striking than the development of the British Royal Air Forces. Four years ago the British possessed considerably fewer than 100 aeroplanes. Now the Royal Air Force alone destroys in an average week a larger number ot. ne- my aeroplanes than Britain pos.osed when the war began.
 The officially recorded figures for 8 single month illustrate the comba- tant activities of the R. A. F. In the month of June last, the number of enemy aircraft brought down (which means destroyed) by the British alone was 314 while the number driven down out of control was 168. As against that total of 482 enemy ma chimes destroyed or driven down, 168 British machines were reported miss ing for the same period. Another month shows 518 enemy aircraft &C.,
 counted for, and only 12S British ma-
 chimes missing.
 The bombing planes have been busy
 also. During one month British air
 men dropped 853 tons of bombs over different military objectives, and | made no fewer than "A separate | bombing raids over Germany itself | apart from work over the battle area
 and engaging nearly 2,OO0 enemy l batteries. It is no uncommon thing for British airmen to bomb military | objectives in Germany itself three | times in one day.

AMERICAS FIGHT
 CALLS IRISH AID

Dublin, Sept. 20-(Correspondence of The Associated Press) entrance into the war should settle the question for Irishmen whether they should voluntarily enlist in the British army, in the opinion of Col. Arthur Lynch, nationalist and mem Der of parliament, who is engaged in an Irish recruiting campaign.
 Friendship with America should be the deciding factor of all Irish pol icy" he said to the Associated Press correspondent. 'T mention these matters because young Irishmen whom we wish especially to secure have had their minds captivated and in some cases perverted by a propa- ganda which has it's main origin in America. The deepest motive of this propaganda is hatred of England but blinded by their passion of resentment that they have gided along. the path of pro-Germanism and therefore treachery to the Stars and Stripes.
 T appeal to all Irishmen to give up our accursed habit of clinging to a dead past and dwarfing our living soul by the spectres of half-forgotten defeats. Let us look forward, let us help Uncle Sam to the last ounce, and Ireland, to quote words of a song which arose among the Irish in Aus tralia, will have a Brother at the Peace Conference.'

NEW SIBERIAN
 COMMANDER IS
 JAPANESE HERO

Tokio, Sept 2O--General Kikuzo Otani. commander of the expedition 'ary force of the Entente Allies in st- beria, was one of the Japanese he- roes of the battle of the Yalu river IA years ago. His staff includes the most brilliant officers of the Japanese army.
 During the Chinese war, General Otani, who is 62 years of age, was one of the staff officers in the Im- perial headquarters at Hiroshima.
 When the Russo-Japanese war began
 he, then a major-general, was ap-
 pointed inspector general of the Twelfth division which belonged to the First Army under General Ku- rokf, who startled the world by win
 ming the first victory for Japan in the battle of the Yalu river. Later he
 became the commander of a brigade, and his courage and superior knowl- edge made him a. hero of the war. In one of the battles of the war, General Otanis headquarters was found by the Russians who cross fired it with @ hail of shells. Realiz- l ing the danger one of his staff off, cers advised him to move. He heard i the advice with composure, and re-
 jected it by simply saying: T can't
 hear the sound of firing. I'm afraid
 I've become a little deaf"
 ! General Otani is known as @ silent man, like Field Marshal Oyama and Admiral Togo, and he is considered
 a great tactician. He has an extens- i i've knowledge of mathematics. | Lieutenant General Mitsuyu Yui, ! the newly appointed chief of staff, has long been known as one of the

WHAT'S GOING ON. IN THE WORLD OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
POLES

An alluring attraction still contin- ues at Polls theatre ia Hearts o1 the World" which brings enthusiasm up- permost in the breast of every male and sends women into ecstacies over the real love anad valor which is de- picted into the romantic section.
 As vivid view of what actually is Happening in Europe, as well as showing the world how a true lover should act, nothing yet touches D. w. Griffith's masterpiece of spectacular photogra pty.
 In the trenches of Europe where German and ally come hand to hand in fighting, the action of the big guns with their fearless crews, and ruin and demolishment of whole villages, great plains upon which soldiers move from trench to trench, and where ar tillery goes and comes to and from action, everey detail is just as repre- scented. This great picture was in fact taken on the battlefie1ds of France and shows the realism of war fare.
 Hearts of the World may be said to combine more actual actors in a small strip of film than any other battle representation that yet has been shown.
 Every minute of the time from the opening episode which shows an AL case town in the midst of peace and plenty to the return home of the American fighters Is acclaimed by ap- plause by the audience, except when audible misses are heard from the en- emy's treaehery and deceit.
 Robt. Harron, a well known actor portrays the leading male part while Dorothy Gish, charming little girl offers many delightful acts of daring and devotion during the passage of the play.
 The orchestral effects are bigger than ever and behind the stage a whole corps of hands are keM busy with the rat-a-t -tat-tat of the machine guns, the boom of the big cannon and the crack of field pieces and small arms.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY.

The recent closing of the New York Stock Exchange, in order to allow the members of draft age to register, re- calls the fact that it was a commer- cial panic which was responsible for the first closing of that great institu- ton. The exchange ceased business 46 years ago today, Sept. 20, 1873, and remained closed for ten days. The New York Stock Exchange was not again closed, except for brief periods out of respect to persons of prominence who had died, until z914, when the outbreak of the war brought on a panic which resulted in temporary suspension of business, The New York Stock Exchange has been closed during the funerals of President Garfield, President Grant, Queen Victoria President Mckinley President Cleveland, King Edward VII, Gen. Sherman and J. Pierpont Morgan.
