 In closing Secretary Hill impressed it on the mlndS of the young people to climb the ladder Of success always aiming to reach the top and not to fall back at Encouragement and failure. Rev.

THE FIRST WOMAN
 AT THE ALCAzAR
Mildred Harris Has Charminu Role in Surprise Drama of
 Laughs and Thrills

A surprise drama. "The First Woman" with Mildred Harris in the leading role, is the offering at the Alcazar this week. beginning Mon- day.
 The theme of the story is that of a brilliant and beautiful young &C., tress who had a great ambition to become a dramatic star.
 She had made q hit on the musi- cal comedy stage and was regarded as huge success as a mimic.
 But the managers and playwrights declined to take her seriously.
 Finally she had a big opportunity. She was recommended by producer for the leading role in a drama. But when it came time to pick the cast the playwright-one of the most fa- nous In the world-turned her down because he thought she couldn't act.
 Then she set out to show him. She staged throbbing drama" in real life. She enlisted the aid of her friends. They made up the "cast." The playwright with all his worldli- ness was the goat" The way in which Billie Mayo proved her ability as a dramatic actress makes story packed with laughs and thrills-with big dramatic situations and moments of delicious tenderness.

Wonder if she saw me? Hope she did. Glad I had on a clean uni form. Gosh, if she'd seen me raking out stables this morning, or seen Fraser grooming the captains horse and seen how we both were sweating and swearing, she'd never have come near either of us today. Hot dogi There comes the relief. Guess that corporal ain't so bad after all. He sure is on time. Halt! Who's there?
 In the Literary Digest for August 19 is good article written around Napoleon and what he would have done had he been in command of forces in the late war. The narrative is carried by the Emperor, and when asked what he would have done to win the war in two years, he replied, in part:
 T would have built success on my old formula of rapidity. precision and concentration. I would have concen- trated heavy masses of troops back of the lines, somewhere, perhaps in the vicinity of Cambrai. This would have been the logical strategic point for attack. Victory would have placed me in a position to- cut the railways leading into Germany and block the German retreat. I would have brought together vast number of can non. I would have distributed vast numbers of machine guns through my infantry. I would have created strong mounted machine gun bat teries. I would have had a strong force of cavalry in reserve l have always had great faith in the effec- tiveness of cavalry as complement to infantry and artillery. Though scarcely used in this war, I am con fident that it could have been em- ployed to wonderful advantage. Hay.

Shame, Picturesque Scenic Drama, All Week at Trianon

Shame" the William Fox special which has been looked forward to by many who have heard of the tre- mendous impression 1t made in New York will be shown for the first time here at the Tiranon theatre next week. The story Is absorbing. The acting is impressive. The scenic ef- fects are wonderful.
 Shame" .fulfills promises made for the progress of motion pictures during the past year. It sets new standard in the dominant field of en- tertainment.
 The story is that of a young man of great wealth and importance in one of the big shipping interests of San Francisco. He Is made to be- lievs that his mother was not a white woman and that he Is a half caste. A disreputable trader, who claims to know the truth, threatens the young shipping magnate with exposure unless he will join in a gi- gantic smuggling enterprise. David Fielding indignantly refuses.

They are attacked by wolves, and the secretary jumps from the sled, rifle in hand, to fight off the brutes, while the sled goes on, followed by one huge wolf. The dog team stops at Dayid's cabin.

Disciplinary measures can be strict and effective, or they can be just as strict and ineffective. By the same token they can be less strict and have the same factor of safety. Never should they be out of proportion to the gravity of the offense. If trooper brings in his horse from a patrol and waits to feed him until said trooper has had his own supper, the trooper doesn't get fed until the horse does. Iris a just and fair rule. The horse has no reasoning power and doesn't understand why his feed isn't forthcoming. The trooper is hu- man and is supposed to have a brain with which to reason. If he doesn't use it it's his own fault. But 1t isn't the horses's fault if he is deprived of a meal. And the horse will, in a majority of cases, suffer more than the trooper.
