AT THE SAVOY.

Barriscale, the star OF strong blonde
hair. first name. Bessie, was seen at her
best last evening at the savoy, and will
continue TO prove a drawing card at
this theatre today and Wednesday. The
picture has real story. and the way
that the lady doctor is received so
warmly by her new friends in Fracas.
an island Arizona town. and wins their
hearts through her simplicity and ef-
fective manners, makes a genuinely In
teresting picture drama. The comedy
and news reels are very good. too.

gripped New York theatregOers for
over a year. Is showing In its screen

dead man to accuse the murderer. Be
fore the spirit can answer, the man

who did, for I got an awful boot that
landed me ten or twelve feet away.
I fell on my hands and knees, and
about O. yard away saw a cigarette
stub. / Owed for it like a man falling
ON a football, and when I came up
that stub was safely in my pocket.
And it stayed there until I reached
Dulmen and had q chance to light II
behind the barracks. If any Of the
other men had smclled real tobacco.
they would probably have murdered
me, and I could not have blamed them
for 1t.
That was the first and last cigarette
I got in Germany, and you can be.
lieve me when say that I enjoyed
it. There was not much to it, but ]
smoked 1t until there was not enough
left to hold in my mouth, and then
used what was left and mixed it with
the bark that we made cigarettes out
of. Incidentally, this bark was great
stuff. I do not know what kind OF
tree 1t was from, but 1t served the
purpose. Whenever fellow wanted
to smoke and lit one Of these bark
cigarettes, few puffs were enough
He did not want to smoke again fol
some time afterward, and like as not
he did not want to eat either. They
were therefore very valuable.
1t is very hard to get matches In
the camps. and when any prisoner
does get hold Of one, it is made to last
long time. Here is how we make 6
match last. Some one gives up the
sleeve Of his coat, and the match is
carefully lit, and the coat sleeve
burned to crisp. Then we take Q
button from our coats--the buttons
are brass with two holes in them
pass shoestring through the holes
knot the ends, and with the button IL
the center of the string, buzz it around
as you have seen boys do, with the
string over both hands, moving the
hands together and apart until thu
button revolves very fast.
We then put a piece Of flint against
the crisped cloth, and buzz the buttor
against it until spark makes the
crisp glow, and from this we would
light our bark cigarettes. do no
think any man in the world could in
hale one of these bark cigarettes
some Of us tried and went right tt
sleep. ~

Kultur--the Real STUFF.

Neustrelitz was mainly for Russian
prisoners, and there were neither Brit
Ash nor French soldiers informed there
only sailors Of the merchant marine
such as the men I was with. The
Russians were given far worse treat
ment than any other prisoners. This
was for two reasons, as near as could
make out. One was that the Russian
would stand most anything, whereas
the British and French could only be
Goaded to certain point, and beyond
that lay trouble. The other reason
was that the Russians sent German
prisoners to Siberia, or at least, SO the
Huns thought, and r. IL hates the
cold. SO, hating the Russians, and
realizing that they were used to be-
ing uIder-dogs, Fritz picked on them
hnd bullied them in way that the
rest of us would not have stood. We
would have rushed them and gone
west with bayonets first.
The barracks were made of spruce,
and were abort ninety feet long and
twenty-five feet wide and you can

IL seemed to get colder ant colder, we
did not mind 1t so much. At about
eleven that morning, We arrived at a
Mace called Minden and saw prison
camp there--just a stockade near the
tracks with the boys out in the open.
We waved to them, and they waved
back and gave a cheer-oh or two. We
felt sorry for them, because we knew
we were not going to that camp, and
from what little we saw, we knew we
could not be going to a worse place

Minden is quite a railway center,
guess, and when we pulled into the
depot, we saw many troops going to
the front or coming back. AS at all
important German railway stations,
there was Red Cross booth on the
platform, with German girls handing
out barley coffee and other things to
the German soldiers. I saw a large
shanty on the platform, with a Red
Cross painted over the door. I saw
the girls giving barley coffee to the
soldiers, and I thought I would have
try at it and at least be polite
enough to give the girls chance Of
refusing me. I was refused all right

 FLOOD DAMAGE
 LIGHT TH|SyEAR

PHOENIX, July 12.-Property dam age in Maricopa county this year ow- ing to floods is much less than in 1918, according to w. R. Elliott, superinten- dent of the Salt River Valley Waters Users association.
 Following last nights storm, reports received here were that the Hassay- ampa river had risen 31S feet and that at Wickenburg and beyond Buckeye, the crossing points on the two automo- bile roads to the coast might be found impossible. It was expected that the flood stage of the river would sub side within 12 hours
 Three small breaks were made in the Arizona canal by flood waters, but officials reported tonight that there had been no damage of any import ance and irrigation had not been in terfered with. Irrigation is being handled with flood water and the reg ular water will be turned in again as soon as the flood has gone down.
 Cave creek and Queen creek both went to high flood stage yesterday, said reports received here tonight, but the former was stated to be going down again without having done dam age. As a result of the Cave creek rise, Black canyon was said to be inn passable, as was the Thomas road, which, however, is expected to be open for traffic tomorrow.
