/ Lindsay. charge d'affaires of the
British embassy, has made public a
letter to Grover c. Hall. associate
editor of the Montgomery Adver-
tiser, Montgomery, Alabama, in re-
| ply to an inquiry by Mr.. Hall as to
how many Egyptian soldiers fought
under the British flag during the
war and what was the number of
casualties suffered by them"
The inquiry, it is said, was
prompted by the brief recently pre-
scented by Joseph ". Folk, former
governor of Missouri, to the foreign
relations committee of the United
States senate. in which Mr.. Folk
called attention ito the fact that
100000 Egyptian troops fought on
the side Of the Allies
THE British government, wrote
Mr.. Lindsay. who was in Egypt all
through the war, has carefully
avoided destroying Egyptian sover-
eighty. Egyptian soldiers always
serve under the Egyptian and not
under the British flag. The Union
Jack does not fly in Egypt except
over the British military establish
iments in the country; elsewhere the
distinctive Egyptian flag is displayed.
To answer your question literally,
mo Egyptian soldier joined the Brit
ish colors.
of course, this is only a partial
statement. In February, 1915, when
the Turkish army attacked Egypt, q
battery of Egyptian artillery Joined
the British force defending the line
of the Suez canal. The enemy's at
tack developed just opposite this

aged their guns in an able manner
and assisted in the repulse of the
enemy. l believe they lost two
killed and half dozen wounded.
NO other Egyptian armed forces
were in action during the recent
war, but later on, three or four
Egyptian battalions guarded lines Of
communication in Sinai while Gen
eral Allenby was conducting his
campaign in Syria, and an Egyptian
detachment was at one time in the
Eadjaz. Neither Of these forces was
ever under fire.
in addition to this. large num-
bers Of Egyptians were enrolled in
labor and transport corps auxiliary
to the British forces. These men
were enlisted for short terms of
three to six months and did the
manual and unskilled labor for Gen
eral Allenby's forces As such their
services were Of high value, and
they released for the fighting line
man who, otherwise. would have
been engaged in the rear.
How many Of these men passed
through the labor corps cannot be
stated, but the total enlistments at
one moment amounted to between
10000 and 10000. Of the labor
corps men, some came under fire
while digging trenches and trans
porting stores and ammunition near
the front, and casualties were suf-
fered. l cannot give the figures
authoritatively, but / believe there
were altogether about 1900 killed
and wounded during the four years

 An uncommonly interesting play. It has a broad viewpoint broad sym pathies and much vitality. Grips one tightly. One of the big successes of the season

ANNETTE KELLERMAN
 IN 'QUEEN0F TIE SEA'

It's here-the picture that has caused more of a sensation throughout the country than anything released in re- cent years. It is Annette Kellerman appearing in Queen of the Sea" which the Strand announces for an engage ment starting today
 Annette Kellerman, queen of shape ly curves, and recognized as the most perfect specimen of feminine form liv- ing today, has been featured in some of the most spectacular releases ever shown to the public, but in this pres ent offering, it is the verdict of all the reviewers that even her wonderful Daughter of the Gods" has been out classed. The picture has been re- viewed as a riot of beauty, feminine charm and thrilling story. It is a mar rative of the sea. as have been all her former pictures. but Queen of the Sea" is unquestionably the last word in pho tographic beauty. The picture cost a million dollars in expenditure, and the director used 30 miles of film in getting 1t into its present perfected shape. There were required for the filming of this sensational picture over 1900 peo- pie, It required eleven months to complete it. and the players journeyed from Bar Harbor to Bermuda, Jamaica. Florida, Mexico and California, just a sample of the wonderful care that has been exercised in the selection of locale for the filming Of this wonder story of the sea.

LassiIer has become an old man, but he has lost none of the powerful, for cible manliness which was the terror of all he met in his earlier life. Little Fay Larkin, who was a child of three years when Lassiter rolled down the rock in Riders of the Purple Sage which imprisoned them, has grown in- to beautiful maidenhood.
 Farnum is also seen as Shefford, kinsman of Lassiter, who, on hearaing a legend of the three people who have been imprisoned, determines to ascer- tain if the man in the case could be Lassiter who had completely dropped from sight. His determination to run to earth the strange story, is the sig nal for the same cult who persecuted Lassiter to turn loose all the power they possessed in the endeavor to block his progress. Shafford is as sturdy a character as Lassiter although pursu- ing somewhat different methods, and he develops into the same sort of terror terrors of The Valley of Sealed Wives" learns first hand the name of those responsible for the fate of Lassi- ter, and rescues his kinsman But he does not accomplish this without many adventures, which Zane Grey has re- corded in the manner never equaled by any other writer. The picture has been staged with absolutely and careful re- gard for detail, and all the thrilling . situations which placed this story so firmly in the first line of successful
 works have been screened in this won 1 der production.

undertakings of any director was ac- cOmplished in this picture when a flock of 10000 sea gulls were decoyed into a location and kept there for three days. It embraces perhaps the most difficult photography ever executed in d scene embracing a terrific battle between companies of men fighting with swords, and fighting in the dark, the only light being the sparks from the clashing of the swords, made possible through electrical equipment of the most in- tricate nature. Just a sample of the item of expense may be gleaned when one watches the Tower of Swords and Knives, manipulated by complex sys- tenn of machinery-and then watch the entire building crumple in a mass of debris when the structure is dyna- mited. One could go on down the line calling attention to the wonderful S5-
 foot dive of Miss Kellerman after a cable has been cut from under her feet,
 her battle for life in the broiling surf,
 the burning of a vessel to pieces, the terrific combat between mermaids and sirens beneath the waves, the desper- ate fight in sea cavern with balls of fire as weapons, it would be simply a list of almost unbelievable accomplish
 ments embraced in this wonder picture 1 of the age. The production has broken
 all records wherever shown. The Strand announces that there will be no advance in prices for this engagement

HE BORDER LEGION , AT COLUMBIA TODAY

Action is the life of every cinema offering. And so the screen adaptation of Zane Grey's famous novel, "The Border Legion" gives promise of being one of the most sensational film of ferings of the season. "The Border Legion" starring Hobart Bosworth and Blanch Bates, will be the feature attraction at the Columbia theater for four days starting today. It is a Gold wyn production.
 A mad dash to escape the notorious border legion of the lawless west; a sensational hold-up of a pony express carrying a fortune in gold; the fall of a galIoping horse and it's rides down 100-foot gulch in the mountains of Wyoming; the heroine's thrilling leap for life from the roof of cabin: the pitched gun figth in the dead of night between the outlaw raiders and the sheriff's possee, these are a few of the thrills that combine to make ''The Border Legion" one of the most spec tacular westerns ever produced. We do not believe that we are over enthusiastic about this offering. Rather we believe that we are following con- servative lines in the exploitation of "The Border Legion" It is a guaran- teed offering, in which the producers and house management combine to warrant satisfaction.
 The most virile production of the year-thus did the New York critics and motion picture public proclaim ''The Border Legion" when the pow erful action-drama of the west scored
 an Instantaneous and continued 1 triumph in it's weeks run at the Strand theater in New York.
 "The Border Legion" is the work of T. Hayes Hunter, for years stage di- rector for David Belasco and other famous producers. He personally pro- duced the elaborate and full D-of-action screen classic of the west
 1 Hazardous feats vie with uncem-
 monly brilliant acting to make the of l fering one of super-value. It meant
 death for any Rocky Monntain pros 1 pector to even attempt to trail a band
 of desperadoes in the days when gold
 came fastest as Zane Grey so vividly describes in her gripping story, the picturization of which is complete ir every detail
 In addition to Hobart Bosworth and
 Blanche Bates, such well known per | formers as Bull Montana, Eugene
 Strong, Horace Morgan, Russell Simp-
 son and Arthur Morrison are included
 in the cast of characters. Every one o. | these is a star.
 The augmenting program for today | and Monday includes a Sunshine comedy in two reels and a Mutt ant

THE RAINB0N TRAIL
 AT TIE HIP TODAY

The Hip starts off the week with the engagement beginning today and ex- tending over tomorrow and Tuesday of William Farnum, appearing in his tre- mendous success "The Rainbow Trail"
 The picture is a sequel to Riders of the Purple Sage" and by the inimt- able writer of western stories, Zane Grey.
 The story in it's book form, as was also the case with Riders of the Pur- pie Sage" commanded a sale that went into the millions. It is a strong stir ring story. while, complete in itself, takes up the thrilling story of the three imprisoned people which were left in the first novel, securely separated from the balance of the world, and living the primitive life among the wonders of nature in a natural valley.
 William F'arnum plays a dual role in this picture. He is seen as Lassiter after he and Jane Withersteen, to-

EVELYN NESB|T
 COMES ID LAMARA

Evelyn Nesbit comes to the I.amara for today and tomorrow, nj her latest Fox photoplay, T Want to Forget" in which she is supported by an excep- tionally strong cast including her son, Russell Thaw.
 Evelyn Nesbit appears in the early stages of the picture as butterfly of the social set-looking upon life as only bubble. and accepting the lavish attentions of the men as part of her deserved portion of the worlds bless ings. Among the men of the set there is one she notices continually avoids her. Her designed wiles have no effect on him, until he one day discovers that even a butterfly has a soul, and his heart goes out to her, not in the man ner of the lavish expenditure of money on precious jewels, wine suppers, and other modes adopted by her "admir- ers,' but in the pure love of an upright man. The girl is attracted to him, and he begins to teach her the beauty of life and the folly of her method of liy- ing. Finally this man whom she has learned to love is called away on an important government mission. A call comes from the government for a woman to undertake a dangerous mis- sion, and this butterfly in the attempt to prove to the man she loves that il is her intention to redeem herself of fers her services. She is mortified when she learns that the man she is to capture is one of her most loathed ad- mirers, but she steels herself for the mission. She is forced to accept his kisses and embraces-in fact the mar of her heart discovers her in the man arms-she risks her life happiness-al
 in the effort not only to serve her country but to redeem herself for her 1 past. The climax of this story of mys- 1 tery comes when she is imprisoned ir a safety vault where she nearly suffo- ] cates. A clever ruse effects her escape j and she is enabled to place in the hands of her government the informa
 ton which leads to the capture of tht

 Then there will be girls race staged, for girls 15 years and younger. The boys are not the only fast swim mers in the Riverside Pool. and these girls will doubtless surprise those who watch this race. The price is from A- Goldwater and Bros. store, and is a beautiful girls bathing suit.
 The other race will be staged for male swimmers 15 years of age and over. The prize suit fer this event is from John Hyder's Store De Luxe This will, no doubt. prove tho event of the day, as it is a free -for-all proposi- tion, no age limit, and nobody barred. The regular band concert by the City band of D pieces will be held as usual on the banks of the pool. and ample seating capacity has been arranged i under the trees that the public may sit in the shade and enjoy the eare- | fully selected program of music.
 The Riverside Restaurant announces they will serve a special Sunday din ner today. This eliminates the neces sity for the return to the city for meals, and will doubtless prove a popu- l lar convenience

Common Clay" the dramatic story of a human woman whom town topics called "a maiden of scarlet spots," will be the Columbia offering for Thurs day, Friday and Saturday. It, is a prize play with real punch, drama of mans injustice toward erring women, with beautiful Fannie Ward in the leading role.
 Common Clay" is the never end ing story of a girl who was wronged and wanted to be right. She loved pleasure and sought it where she could find it-at the dance hall. It awakens in the breast of the spectator that pity which Dr. Gilbert Murray says lis the kingdom of heaven within us fighting against the brute power of the world.r
