HE CAVELL CASE AT
 THE COLUMBIA TODAY

Moving picture patrons of this city have an opportunity that does not come often, that of seeing one of the most impressive and striking pictures of the age, embodying the great and dramatic sacrifice of an unselfish woman who lived only for her coun- try and died for it.
 ''The Caven Case" Select Pictures great special attraction, produced by Joseph l.. Plunkett and Frank J. Car roll, opens today and shows tomorrow and Saturday at the Columbia theater.
 Edith Cavell refused an offer of marriage from the man she loved be- cause she intended to devote her life to the care of the sick and suffering. A few years later Edith Cavell became an authority in the field of nursing. When the war broke out, she was stationed at a hospital in Brussels. After the- fall of Louvain and Liege the Huns entered Brussels. Nurse Ca veil refused to leave her post, deter mined to administer to the wounded i soldiers.
 She has received a letter from her l former sweetheart, who has since married, asking her to try and find ! his son, who has been listed among the missing. She finally finds him and l determines to aid him to escape. That night he reaches the Holland border | Edith Cavell is discovered and i'm prisoned She confesses to having

aided many English boys to escape from the cellar of filth and pestilence where the Germans forced them to re- main. She is ordered to be shot and at two o'clock in the morning of Oc- tober F, 1915, Edith Cavell was placed against a stone wall and be- came a target for the guns of the German soldiers.
 When the news of the uncalled for execution of Edith Cavell was flashed to the world, Great Britain recruited an army over night and beyond a doubt, the shot that killed her was all so the knell of unspeakable Ger manism.
 Julia Arthur as Edith Cavell is a tremendous success in this picture. and although this is her second great picture, it detracts none from her popularity. She is known to most of us, owing to the fact that for many years she has appeared before the public on the speaking stage in var l ious famous dramas. As a dramatic l star. she stands without a peer. The documentary report of Brand

WAR VETS TEAMOUT
 TONIGHT T0 WORK FUR.
 CHICAGO CUBS CAME

The high school diamond tonight will witness the second big practice of returned soldiers, sailors and marines of sporting aspirations whose proclivi- ties lead them toward the nine the soldier and sailor club will start against the world famous Chicago Cubs April 16 at Riverside. And if the second practice is like the first, everything points toward some little baseball club for Phoenix this season.
 The War Vets are showing a lot of pep about the game with the Cubs. That has been apparent all along and especially at the Great War Veterans meeting last night. If the business men and residents of the town get up as much enthusiasm for the national game as the vets" are showing, Phoenix is going to be a baseball cen ter for this section of the country in future, and if the town is live enough about it, sport fans urge, there is a good chance Phoenix will become the spring training camp for the Cubs permanently.
 Manager Pinney has not got his squad of vets far enough along yet to start choosing the men for his first nine, but the team will be selected some time soon. The exact lineuI promised by the Cubs is also unan nounced, but will possibly be the same as that the Cubs used against the | Boston Red Sox in the last worlds championship series, as given in the 1919 D. 6 Nj. baseball rule book jus out, with the addition of Grover Alex. ander on the mound.
