YANK GOBS APPLAUD BULLFIGHT

Is never to let his horse ger touched
by them.
After that a group Of peasants
wearing green-and-red caps advance
into the ring and each tries to throw
himself on The bull, either between his
horns or on his neck, and TO cling
there despite the frantic attempts of
the animal. IL one succeeds In cling.
ing on, the other peasants rush IN
and hang onto the bull until he is
reduced to impotence.
The American boys cheered all this
with great enthusiasm, but the real
outbreak came when one bull leaped
after one of his tormentors over a
wooden partition and into group of
bullflghters, scattering them right and
! left.
| Roars of laughter filed the enor-
nous circus and a laundering cheer
and cries of "bull, bull, bull" burst
from the throats Of the Americans.
The bullfghters fed In disorder
while the amphitheater resounded
with the laughter and cheers of the
Americans.

smashed Wrangel to smithereens. The
Crlmea witnessed one of the greatest
scrambles In history.
Soldiers and their leaders, civilians
and their wives and families, clamored
for ships to take them away before
the avenging Bolsheviks came in.
The vessels which were finally sup
piled for the refugees were jammed
beyond human endurance.
Filled With Refugees.
Thousands of the survivors Of this
page Of recent history were brought to
Constantinople.
Every street in Constantlnople Is
crowded with them. Near this city
you may see broad-faced Mongolians
and Kalmuck Tartars, who were once
in Wrangel's army, working on the
railway tracks.
In the city itself the Russians have
largely turned to peddling.
Their wives and sisters and daugh-
tiers have taken to waiting In little res
taurants or washing dishes or scrub
bling floors or doing family washing. =.
Many have been forced by sheer
want into immortality.
And there are thousands who have
no visible means Of support. They sell
nothing. They do not work. They sim
ply walk the streets aimlessly.
Many Of them have shirts, but no
coats. II you see them with coats but
toned up to the neck, you may know
that they have neither shirt nor un-
dershirt underneath. In this blazing
hot oriental weather many Of them 60
about with great, long, heavy cossack
coats whose collars and sleeves are
trimmed with thick astrachan.
Shift for Themselves.
Men who were once officers In the
cars army and later In Wrangel's
forces still go about with their epau.
let's on shoulders. Often one has a
wicked-looking Russian officers dagger
at his side.
1t would seem that with this great
influx of one-time soldiers Of adven.
ture, made desperate by want, there
would be great increase of petty
crimes. But the $500 Turkish police
have held crime In check.
For considerable period the French
authorities undertook to feed the 100,.
600 Russian refugees, the only stipula
ton being that they should seek work
to make themselves self-supportlng
But work was the very thing that the
great majority of them did not want.
They seemed to think the allies were
under some sort of obligation to main
tain them In idleness. The result wa:
that the French felt compelled to with
draw all assistance and allow them tc

THE THEATRE

"The Kid" which will be the at
traction at the Strand theatre next
week Thursday and Friday, April Ia
and 10, is the most striking venture
of Charlie Chaplin into the field OF
six reel attractions. Tn production is
about three times the length Of the
comedians previous pictures, and is
considerably more than three times
funnier than anything he has done.
The story has a real plot, and the
humor is caused by situations in a
real story, and is doubly laughable be-
cause of the comical antics Chaplin
can always be counted upon in any
situation.
The daylight trials of motherhood,
the midnight trails of paternity are
all for Charlie in this super-comedy
He is a good mother to the Kid, and
when that Kid grows up he sure be-
comes a good son; for Charlie is a
wandering glazier, and while the KID
goes ahead breaking windows Charlie
is always at hand to get the job OF
mending them. And yet there's sob
now and then. Never expected that
of Charlie, did you? Well, here's
where you get something more than
laughs!
The story carries so much delicious
humor that in the hands of an ordln'
ary actor it would be a comedy hit
but with Chaplin in the role of foster

If everyone in Alsa does his best
on the drive for Alma College, there
will be no question about raising
the quota of seventy thousand dol
lars. If four hundred forty-three
people raised forty-one thousand
five hundred dollars in four days it
ought not to be very hard for the
other seven thousand two hundred
people to raise the balance of thirty
five thousand dollars.
If man will give the price of
one smoke per day for twenty-six
months it will amount TO the sub
stantial sum of seventy-nine dollars,
and two ten-cent smokes per day
would amount to one hundred forty
eight dollars. Surely that will not
make the building of memorial
