BRITISH DEFEAT
IRISH REPUBLICANS

London, June 5.-British troop
have driven the Sirn Fein invader.
from their main positions in UlsteI
and large part of the border betwee,
Northern and Southern Ireland now i.
virtually the battle front. Discrepan
cy between official communique saying
three Sim Feiners were killed, on,
Lewis gun captured and press reports
saying the. British inflicted 'fheav,
losses" and are not yet reconciled.
London, June (By the Associated
Press s).-Infantry, cavalry, artillery
and whippet tanks took part in the
first offensive action of the British
troops on the Ulster borderland early
this afternoon when Pettigoe,. which
straddles the line, though a large part
of the town is in Free State territory
was stormed and retaken from troops
of the Irish Republican army who
entered on May 80. 8
Reports from Belfast rescribed the
border countryside as swarming with
khaki, while the British general di-
rects the operations from headquar-
ters on hill loutside the town.
When it became evident that the
British were moving in force
against. Pettigoe, the Republicans be-
gan to withdraw. Consequently there
was little resistance to parties of
soldiers in motors and on foot who
dashed through the town shortly af-
ter noon., it'.
4 1t is semi officially announced that
the Republicans suffered fairly, heavy
losses. but the sole. casualty on the
northern side was the driver of a
motor ear.
Besides the Republican command
ant and staff, who were taken prison
er when the troops entered the town,
it is reported that large number of
Sim Feiners were captured in later
clean-up of Pettigoe. Of three col
umns of troops which last evening
began advancing into the section of
Fermanagh county, occupied by the
southerners, two columns operated
toward Pettigoe, the other in the di-
rection of Belleek, which the Repub-
licans had occupied.

Press) Military forces today caps

can prisoners, as we'll as large
quantity of arms and ammunition.
One account says that after a
heavy hombardment the British
troops stormed Pettigoe in the after
noon. A hot machine gun fire was
poured on the attacking forces, but
the only casualty was an automobile
driver, who was shot dead.
The commander of the Irish Re-
publican army and his staff are re-
ported to have been captured.
A semi-ofiicial version of the fight
ing is quoted by the correspondent of
the Belfast Telegraph, who says:
"The military entered Pettigoe short
ly after 1 o'clock nj the afternoon
and were fired on by the Republicans
The artillery came into action and the
Republicans are believed suffered
fairly heavy losses. The military
have consolidated the position"
1t is said that the commander at
Pettigoe was Mayo doctor Driver
Dobson was sitting with comrades
after the capture of the place when
the Republicans opened fire with a
machine gun from a concretedk posi-
ton, riddling him.
Border firing was resumed today
by Republicans at LifFord, in the di-
rection of Strabane, in the course of
which special constable was shot
while on duty at Camel's Hump.

AT THE PALACE THEATRE

Friday and Saturday-"Jane Eyre"
Mabel Ballin, in the HodkinsOn re-
lease "Jane Eyre" is certainly the
ideal person to portray the little
orphan English girl, and her hoop
skirts and pantalettes and poke bon
net and shawl, she creates a figure
that pulls at your heart strings. The
art and deft hand of Hugo Ballin have
brought many little human touches to
the picture, and it abounds in humor'
and effective pathos. Later, as the
grown-up Jane, who takes the part of
the govemess in the English manor
house, Mabel Balm again makes a
most appealing characterization, and
her scenes with Norman Trevor, the
fascinating and puzzling Englishman,
develop a story that is calculated to
please old and new patrons of the
screen.
Tuesday and Wednesday-"The
Sheik's Wife"-The entire story of
''The Sheik's Wife," the big Vitagraph
Special Production, is told with true
artistic feeling. There is no villain
in the hackneyed sense of the word.
The psychology of the sheik who loves
his wife with an ancient fierceness and
who tries to dominate her in true
Oriental fashion, is sympathetically
set forth. The character of the ro-
mantle and high-spirited girl is also
skillfully etched. Many of the scenes
Inr. ho Tbn
dashing manuvering of the native
cavalry is most cOlorful. There are
interesting scenes in the luxurious in
teriors of the tent harems, views
showing the Arab administration of
| justice and the heroine's rendevouz
amid the ruins of an ancient temple.
The fight between the Spahis and the
tribesmen reflect Incompatible action
and beauty.

ventures of Robinson Crusoe"-Cru-

Friday You'll see them all in the
Universal version of the universally
beloved Daniel DefOe story of adven-
ture which has been produced in eigh-
teen chapters called "The Adventures
of Robinson Crusoe," the first chapter
"Shipwrecked" which will open at the
Palace on Tuesday. Each famous
character was chosen with the strict
est attention to two distinct qualifica-
tions-his physical resemblance to the
Defoe character and his ability as an
actor. The result is that each player
seems to have stepped from the pages
of the adventurous novel to further
fascinate readers. Harry Myers, ia
nous as 'The Connecticut Yankee,
carries the role of Crusoe with all the
dash, love of adventure and vitality
that made the original hero popular
the world over. Gertrude OlmsteaC
plays the leading feminine role. Percy
Pembroke, formerly featured in West.
erns, plays an important "heavy" role
as Crusoe's friend. Josef SwickarC
takes the part of Crusoe's father
Gertrude Claire is cast as Crusoe':
mother, and Noble johnson plays the
part of the faithful Friday.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE

Friday and Saturday-"The Call of
the North"-Jack Holt, besides ap-
pearing in his first Paramount star
picture, had also the honor of break
ing virgin soil for location scenes at
Mammoth Mountain, California, fifty
miles north of Bishop. The picture
is "The Call of the North" and a re-
production of a Hudson Bay Trading
post was constructed in the heart of
the mountains, on the shores of one
of the many beautiful lakes which
abound. The mountains form a back
ground of eternal SHOWS and are lofty.
The country is almost primitive,
though a hotel is located where the
company made its headquarters. Many
Indians were employed as extras while
two specially trained Indian actors,
Chief Lightheart and Big Tree, the
latter full blooded Seneca, took part
in some of the scenes. Madge Bellamy
has the feminine lead and Noah
Beery, former Paramount character
favorite, Francis Mcdonald, Jack Her.
bert and others are seen in good roles.
Joseph Henabery was the director.
Two weeks were spent on location.
"The Call of the North" is from the
George Broadhurst play of the same
name and Stewart Edward Whites
novel, "Conjurer's House," adapted
for the screen by Jack Cunningham.
1t is described as a virile, gripping
and dramatic story of the Far North,
with an intensive love interest.
Monday and Tuesday-"What Every
Woman Knows"-One of the outstand
ing figures in literature is Sir James
NJ. Barrie, the noted English author
and playwright, whose play "What
Every Woman Knows" was picturized
by Mr.. DeMille. Sir James plays in
clude "The Admirable Crichton, (which
was produced by Cecil B. DeMille un-
der the title, "Male and Female,
Quality Street." "a Kiss for Cinder-
ella," "Dear Brutus," "Peter Pan,
''The Old Lady Shows Her Medals,
Sentimental Tommy" etc. He has
also written many novels, foremost
among which are, "When a Mans
Single" "A Window in Thrums, "'The
Little Minister" "My Lady Nicotine, ,
and others. Sir James Barrie was
born in 1860. Arrangements have
been made, whereby he will write ex.

SYNOD REFUSES TO TRANSFER
ELKTON CHURCH To BAL LTIMORE
LAYS PETITION PRESBYTERIAN
CONGREGATION ON THE TABLE
Case May Be Appealed To the General
Assembly-Rev. John McElmOyle
Still Their Leader

The Baltimore Synod last week in
session at Washington, D. c., tabled
a petition to transfer the Elkton, Md,
Presbyterian Church from the New
Castle Presbytery to the Baltimore
Presbytery, leaving the controversy
open and as it originally stood, except
that if the petitioners desire to urge
their claims they may appeal to the
General Assembly of the church,
which will meet in May, 1928.
The petition was reported out of the
committee on bills and overtures, of
which Rev.John D. Blake, of Marshall
ton, Del, is chairman, with the state
ment that the question involved was
purely legislative and should not be
passed on by the Synod. The Presby-
terry of Baltimore interposed vigorous
objections to taking over the Elkton
Church with it's controversy. The
New Castle Presbytery likewise OBJ
jected on the grounds that it does not
want to lose jurisdiction over that
church.
The elders of the Elkton Church, it
is stated, are engaging Rev. John Nc
Elmoyle, the marrying parson" de-
spite the order of the New Castle
Presbytery dissolving his pastoral re-
lations with the church. There is an
appeal pending on the order forbid
ding Mr.. McElmoyle from occupying
the pulpit of the Elkton Church, Mem
bers predict that if the order should
be sustained the church would prob
ably withdraw from the Presbyterian
denomination and become independent.
This, it is pointed out, would raise the
question of ownership of the church
building. Several attempts have been
made to regularly supply the pulpit,
but the trustees of the church have
prevented this by voting an inadequate
salary.
1t appears to be a prevailing senti-
ment among the members of the
Synod to allow the unsolved problem
to drift along, the fear being that
further agitation of the matter would
create discord that would result in
great injury to the church. The situ-
alton is, according to those who know
the facts, that, as the congregation
has lost its appeal, it will be in viola
tion of the order of theNew Castle
Presbytery for Mr.. McElmoyle's en-
gagement to be renewed or continued
but as no instructions as to this feat
ure have been forthcoming the church
will decide it.
The Synod went on record as favor.

of teaching the Christian religion al
