APBOXOUXCED and refreshing re lief from musical eomedr which conveys no aspersion on either "The Spring Maid nor "The Paradise of Mahomet." Is Edgar Selwyn'a comedy "The Country Boy." a delightful en tertainment that kept the audience at the Helllc last night hanging pendu lously between laughter and tears. While In no sense dne the comedy come under the head of dramatic lit erature, and while the plot wobbles considerably at time and Is wholly con ventional and not new, the dl.tlogue sparkles wKh wit at times with a cynical wit. The "advance notices and "stories of ths plot" have made "The Country Boy" tolerably familiar. Suffice to say that It's a story of the small-town boy who feels the city In his blood nnd to whom his home place spells onl Mar natlon. So -he goes to New T" k. and while he Is singed In ths " ; uclble of experience." he Is brought alaa to know himself, and goes ba. k not a failure, because he believe In himself. Cer tainly there's a love story and two girls to make It more than ordinarily Inter esting. One Is the girl "back homo" and the other a show girl from Broad way. Every character In the play Is un doubtedly a type taken from life men and women the playwright hag actually encountered. The audience admitted acquaintance with the characters, too. There's the ITS-pound boarding-house keeper who reads the riot act at the dinner tuble. who throws spasms when she discovers the gss burning after 10 o'clock and who chat affably with "real" gentlemen when she aeea them. There's tha newspaper man. sour, un euccessfnL stripped of Illusions, a chronlo grouch with a heart underneath as big as two hams: a traveling sales man who takes hla wife to raovlng plrture shows and his customers to the roof-garden displays; a chorus girl looking always for "a chance": Jo AVelnsteln. a ticket speculator with a collection of slang and bromldlons; there's the embryo prima donna who Insists on practising, and a host of others. The present production delight fully starless and decidedly well acted. As near perfection as stage portrayal can reach Is Frank McCormack's char acterlzatlon of the newspaper man. Alfred Cooper Is the country boy. a role he Interpret with sympathy and care. Nellie Fillmore caricatures th bux om landlady with delicious vulgarity. Doan Borup la Mr. Welnsteln, a good natured chap who takes gambling chances. Full of gest and freshness, chockful of hilarity and an interesting welding of truth to fact, an evening with "The Country Boy" la well worth while. It will he at the Hetllg- for the week-end. Including a matinee Saturday. CALL FOR GUN ENTRAPS Portland Fugitive Seized at Helena as He Ask for Rifle.

DEAD MUTILATED ON FIELD nangln; of Suspected Spies Without Trial Among Acta Charged a Violations of Treaty and Article of War. WASHINGTON. Nor. f. Ran Gall iano, the Italian Minister of War. for warded to the Italian Embassy today a message from General Caneva re lating to battles of November and 7, In which the Italian government de clared there was "Indisputable evi dence of violation of the articles of war" on the part of tha Arabs. Gen eral Caneva's message was as follow: "Our scouts on the Held where the encounters of the cth and 7th took place between the Ninety-third Regi ment of Italian Infantry and Turks and Arabs have ascertained that acts of cruelty have been committed upon our fallen. One of the two dead waa found barbarously decapitated. No doubt exlsta that In these encounters the Turks were present and for this reason Uiey are directly responsible. Rumors, the foundation of which It was not possible to ascertain, were current regarding barbarous killing of wouaded Italians on the field, while they were still alive nnd prisoners. "It was ascertained that the Arabs directed their fire and attacks against the ambulances and wounded troops, but It was still uncertain If only the Arabs were to blame for It .or If the Turks should also have been declared outlawed for violation of war regula tions. "Now doubt Is removed and It has been ascertained In a most absolute way that on the battlefield of Aln Zar. the Turkish commander. In viola tion of article ID of the last convention, ordered hanged without any trial our Informants and some of the Arabs who were suspected of spying. There Is indisputable evidence of violation of the articles of war on the part of tha Arabs, who wer directed by the Turk ish officials against the Italians."
