'ITH The Portrait of a King" comes the 14th episode of "The Secret . Kingdom," Vitagra.ph'B 16-chap-ter serial of romance and adventure, featuring- Charles Rtchman, Dorothy Kelly, and Arllne Pretty. The story has to do with a Balkan Principality, Alania, and the plots to do away with Phillip, rightful heir to the throne. Phillip, who has been reared an American, reaches Paris with Juan, his faithful follower, and there they read of the situation in Alania, and receive word from Paul Barreto, who has escaped from prison, recommending- an Immediate visit to Alania by Phillip, for Siraond's rule Is op pressive, and Phillip, the lost Prince of Alania, would be wildly and gladly hailed as the rightful king. So they start for Alania at once. Count Ramon and Madame Bavatz, who have been carrying out the de signs of Slmond, the usurper, arrive In Alania with the Princess Julia, daugh ter of Slmond, in their custody. Prin cess Julia accuses her father of as sassinating Phillip's parents, but he feigns sudden heart failure and in her distraction she forgets the matter for the moment. Count Ramon, with a plan in mind, wants to get hold of the papers prov ing Phillip's claim, papers that Savats holds. She is suspiolous of her lover's anxiety and withholds them. Ramon is received by Slmond, who comflture. demands the proofs. Ramon tells him that the papers, will not appear until the ruler agrees to force Princess Julia to marry him. - Slmond is enraged at this, but when Ramon threatens to make public the prAof of Phillip's right to the throne, he is forced to give In. While Ramon has made Slmond think that he has the proofs in his possession. Madame Savatz holds the papers. To her Ramon goes and tries to Induce her to give them up. "You can have them the day you marry me,1 she spits at him vengefully. . Slmond. in the palace, finds Julia gaz ing at a large portrait of King Phillip II. Phillip's father, which hangs in the great hallway. She notes the resem blance and again accuses her father, who evades the matter by telling her that reasons of state dictate her im mediate marriage to Count Horrified, Bhe refuses. Just then the large picture falls and Simond, seeing in this a ghostly manifestation, is moved to confess his crime to his daughter. Ramon meanwhile has laughed to scorn Savatz proposal that he marry her, and he attacks her in an effort to get the papers. But she has craftily hidden them. Surprising him as he searches, she disarms him and forces him to retire from the palace in dls- for the first time in its seven years in Portland the Peoples Theater has found a produc tion so surpassingly great as to merit its being held over a second Sunday the thousands in Portland who failed to see "Mothers of France" last week will have an opportu nity only until next Wednes day; positively no longer the phenomenal, record breaking showing of this in spiring production ends Wednesday; then Douglas Fairbanks ft- K ' s V : "".-'a an exalting, inspiring, sublime message from the people of France to the people of America a nation's soul laid bare.

Captain Stafrin kept a straight face and said nothing. Then he sprang his joke. As each smoker of the "paper pill" took up his posi tion, a soldier that was acting as or derly distributed cigarettes to the few that had courage to admit they smoked. Then there was business of painful consternation and dismay on the faces Ramon, vf the many other smokers in the ranks. Here is the story: One day last week Captain Stafrin discovered the ground around the company quarters was strewn with cigarette butts. He said nothing until his company was lined up, then he called for all cigarette smokers to step to the front. They stepped out and they were ordered to pick up the butts. The smokers were caught napping last week. They were sure they weren't going to be caught when it came to fesslng up again. That is why many of them are not smoking the cigarettes presented to the company by - Dallas admirers. PORTLAND GIRL IS QUEEN PACIFIC -UNIVERSITY HOLDS KITAL. B1AY-DAY EVE5T. AN- MAJOR MARITJS B. MARCELLUS and Sergeant Q. A. Parr, of the Sanitary Troops, returned Thurs day from a week's inspection trip ot all of the Third Oregon units in the field. Barring a few ailments such as mild sore throats, the health of the soldiers in the field Is splendid and they are enjoying the coming of the Oregon Spring. At most places where the soldiers are encamped there Is plenty of good fishing and hunting and between times the men enjoy the out door sport. Major Marcellus said that mountain trout is on the bill of fare of almost every camp. Not a man at any of the camps , expressed a desire to return home and, while guarding property and picking up suspicious characters is not always a pleasant task, there is just enough of the Spring fishing trip to break the monotony of soldier life. . Major Arthur M. Edwards, United States Quartermaster Corps, who has made a splendid record f.or himself in getting the tons of equipment for both the Third Oregon and the hundreds of regular Army recruits at this station, has not been so busy that he is over looking a bet. He has a force of men at work repairing the Government wharf at Vancouver Barracks, so that In tne ruture supplies that are shipped to Portland intended for the Army can be placed aboard lighters and delivered at the Government wharf. In speak ing of this Improvement. Major Ed wards said: "In the future there will be no need of Third Oregon soldiers er any other soldiers walking on thin soled shoes or complaining about the length of time it takes to get equip ment. As soon as the wharf is ready we will be in a position to get Army supplies to them as quickly as they ar rive. "This also may be an opening wedge to .overcome the objection of shipping Army supplies or taking on supplies at Portland. According to the latest War De partment - bulletin It is now possible to acquire rifles at the rate of nearly 950,000 a month by the expedient of adopting the rifle used by the British army to supplement the Springfield in use in the United States. Within three months, if the Government wishes to use the production of all the rifle factories in the United States, it can provide nearly 3,000,000 rifles for its Army. The announcement of the War Department is that it has only adopted the new rifle for the present emerg ency, but had under construction types of heavy field artillery that haveJ wrought such havoc against the Germans. It is said that the English rifle does not in any sense displace the Spring field rifle, which by the American Army officers has been considered superior to the British weapon. The factories in this country supplying rifles to the British are able to turn out 80,000 a day. 1500 SprinKflelda Made Dally. The Springflelds are being manu factured at the rate of only 1500 a day. The English rifle will be recham bered to take the American ammuni tion, but In other respects will be un changed. The chief objection by the American Army officers is that the Bprlngfields have a flatter trajectory, greater range and greater power. There are in use in the Army about 800,000 Springflelds and about 200.000 of the old style Krags. The promotions in Company A are Corporals Joseph P. Eshman, Pierre D. Mead and Ore Kilgore, Sergeants, and Privates John D. Rouse, Henry H. Hannigan and Bugler Byron Sherwood to Corporals. The cigarette smokers of Company Ij came very near being cured of the habit. That is, one would have thought they were cured yesterday when Cap tain Staffrin lined his company up and said: "Cigarette smokers, front and center." Only a few stepped out of ranks, but. being the wise joker AGRICULTURIST TO STAY Grays Harbor Finds Services Es sential Enough for Contract. ABERDEEN. Wash.. May 12. (Spe cial.)
