ton by the war risk insurance bureau,
and thus far 1856. have been awarded
compensation, 70 having been denied
it. and 1917 are cases in process Of
determination.

1t is necessary to have the war risk
insurance bureau pass upon a case
as the essential preliminary, and the
agents of the federal board assist all
disabled men to make their applica-
lions to the war risk insurance bu-
reau. In the last thirty days 1855

MURRRGTTE.
The Murrette theatre announces
that it will have another splendid
William Farnum de luxe production to
offer next Monday and Tuesday The

director, Frank Lloyd, whose genius
put on celluloid such photoplays as
Les Miserables," "a Tale of Two
Cities" when Man Sees Red"
Riders of the Purple Sage" and "The
Rainbow Trail"
This photoplay has scenes on land
and sea. 1t is certainly thriller and
gives Mr.. Farnum exceptional oppor-
tunity to show his fine dramatic abil-
ity. 1t is a case of from riches to pow
erty with many stirring incidents in
the decline and fall and the come
back" This picture is awaited with
peculiar interest because not only has
Mr.. Farnum never made poor pic

fiat denial of the stories that have
been printed concerning her engage
ment to Captain Eddie Rickenbacker,
Americas famous ace, who has just
returned with twenty-six downed Hun
planes to his credit.
"My friends mistook my sturdy
friendship for Rick for romantic
love affair."" Priscilla declares stoutly.
"Rick and I are just pals, that's all.
We had a solemn pact when he went
away, but wedding bells did not figure
in it. 1t was for war work. Rick has
sure done his bit winging the Teuton
airplanes, while l am trying to do
my bit here in America, by appearing
as a modern Joan of Arc in The Wild
cat of Paris, stirring war drama
built around the battle of the Marine,
selling Liberty bonds, appearing at

an army and navy fighting unit.
