of unorthodox Mohammedans, had retreated to the hills of the jungles of the Sulu kingdom to wage a fierce religious war against the re- maining American troops.
 The supporting cast is headed by unique players, among them Brod- erick Crawford, Reginald Owen, Kay Johnson, Vladimir Sokoloff, Russell Hicks and Henry Kolker. For the first time in his career, Cooper plays the role of a doctor, who comes to the distant outpost for medical experience. He remains to help the army duell the rebellion and establish lasting peace. Miss Leeds in the role of an American visiting her father, also stays on, not to win the war, but to win a trip to the altar on the arm of Gary. You'll agree with Us, after viewing this great tale, that it's one of the greatest dramatic triumphs, yet.
 Prescribed for those who like their mystery stories with liberal doses of thrills is "The Strange Case of Dr. Rx," the second feature on the same program. More than a dozen suspects figure in this eerie film in which a capable cast fea- turing Patrick Knowles, Lionel At will and Anne Gwynne enacts one of the most neatly contrived dramas of the season. The chill-packed story traces the career of a mys- terious avenger known only as "Dr. Rx," who strangles six men previ- ously acquitted of various criminal charges. The fast-paced action is interspersed with delightful com- edy.

Flag Flies Abo0e
Mackinac for
Full l27 Years

MACKINAC ISLAND, MICH,
July 18-(P)-For 127 years
since July 10, 1815-the Ameri-
can flag has flown daily over
Fort Mackinac.
In a special edition comment
Grating the anniversary, the
Mackinac Island News reviewed
the history of the fort over which
the flags of three nations have
flown.
1t was at noon, July 10, 1878,
that the British surrendered the
fort to American troops.
In 1872 the fort, then at St.
Ignace, was IL the hands of the
British. In 1859, when the fort
was at Mackinaw City, it fell to
the British who later moved it
to the Island stone by stone and
rebuilt it in 1880. The British
lost the fort in 1895, regained it
in 1912. and lost it again in
1915.
Arriving at the Island yester-
day for brief Wis, Governor
Van Wagner said the anniver-
sary should serve as an inspira-
ton to every American"

FORCES SPLIT
The bulk of the German
forces which had thrust through
Millerovo, 1870 miles north of
Rostov, seemed to have split,
with one group advancing due
southwark on the railway and
the other striking out cross
country to the southeast.
The original Millerovo threat
had appeared to be aimed ex-
clusively at Stalingrad, IT'S miles
to the east.
A position on the lower Don
such as the Germans now claim
would put them in position to
attack Rostov from the rear or
try for a direct southwark push
into the Caucasus oil region, by
passing Rostov, or do both.
The assault on RostOv prob
ably was the mission of forces
moving south from Millerovo,

way, which the Germans have
indicated had reached points IS
