Two Yale Pioneers Die
During the Past Week
BOYS, GET BUSY

Why don't the eX-service boys
of Yale and vicinity get busy and
organize a Post of the American
Legion
We have enough former SOL
diers and sailors in Yale alone to
perfect an organization, and the
Expositor would like to see it
done. With the boys from Brock
way, Lynn, Greenwood and EN-
NETT invited, it could be made a
good sized Post.
The objects of this organiza-
ton are as follows ITO uphold
and defend the Constitution of
the United States; to maintain
law and order; to foster and per-
petuate one hundred per cent.
Americanism; to preserve the
memories and incidents of asso-
Citations in the great World War;
to inculcate a sense of individual
obligation to the community,
state and union; TO combat the
autocracy of both the classes and
the masses; to make right the
master of might; to promote
peace and good will on earth; to
safeguard and transmit to poster
ity the principles of justice, free
dom and democracy; to conse-
crate and sanctify comradeship
by devotion to mutual helpful
ness, assisting financially or 9TH
erwise comrades i'll, needy or in
distress and lending aid to the
greatest possible extent to the
widows and orphans of comrades
who have answered the final roll
call"
Every one of the objects is a
worthy one, and should the boys
get together and organize, they
would find the citizens of Yale
and community with them to a
man.

Sundays base ball game at En-
NETT between the Yale team and
the fast playing aggregation Of
that village, was easily the best
game played in this vicinity this
season.
Our boys sure are in fine form
and held the Irish" lads down to
air tight base ball, but luck was
against them, as the only score
was earned by Emmett in the 9th.
Johnson, who pitched for the
Yale team, certainly twirled a
good game, and the Emmett boys
got but very few hits. Every one
of the bunch played the real ar
ticle and put up fine game.
On Sunday next the team will
go to Croswell for a game, and we
hope they may win.

GERMAN SUBMARINE
 ATROCITIES FILMED
 AT EMPRESS TONIGHT

Emmy Wehlen makes a decided hit in The Amateur Adventures, fun niest of farce-comedies, seen at the Empress last night. The character parts are ludicrously exaggerated, and clever sub-titles add to the mirth. Miss Wehlen herself is stunning.
 The spectacular, thrilling part of the program is the twO-reel feature, Log of the U-35," that pictured record of the cold blooded atrocities of the German sea-tiger. Great freighters, carrying supplies to the allies, sail into the track of the doomed, and go down, shattered by shell, bomb or tor pedo. Like living things, they writhe in the death struggle. The crews? Adrift in lifeboats, thousand miles from shore, at the mercy of the mer- ci1ess sea. Printed words pale before the living reality of the film.
 The program will be repeated to- night for the last time Tomorrow Wallace Reid will be seen in a knock out Saturday Evening Post story, "The Roaring Road"
