The great sacrifice a sister makes to protect her sister's good name even though it may cause her to be banished from the home and hearth cherished so much by one, always makes an interesting film drama. But in tho hands of AliceBrady, who plays the rolo of the sacrificing sister, this pastoral drama is more than a mere photoplay. It is at once a crowning artistic and dramatic interpretation of a difficult role charmingly and gracefully portrayed in oil its mo ments of happiness and isortrow in a manner seldom seen on the screen, for Miss Brady's powers of expound ing clearly and unfolding unusually well the most intense dramatic situ ations ever conceived are unsurpassa ble. Her wonderful work can be seen to the best of advantage in "Tangled FateB," the sweet pastoral, "Brady Made" World film production, which will be the feature shown on the screen at he Arcade theatre on Wed' nesday and Thursday. Captain Warner Lectures On The War Before a Large Audience, British Sol dier Tells of His Experiences on European Battlefields Lectures Again Tonight. j Before an 'audience that crowded the Arcade theatre last night Captain J. E. Warner, late of the Irish Brig ade, British Expeditionary Forces, told of his experiences in the Western theatre of war, where he was in the British service from November 2, 1914 until May 12, 1916. Captain Warner crossed the Eng lish channel with the First Hundred Thousand, the "contemptible little airmy" that halted Von Kluck's tri umphant advance on Paris. Of tho famed Retreat of Mons, where sixty thousand British troops held six hun dred thousand Germans at bay in the most masterly retreat on record, it was said that "the might of Krupp opposed the heart of man. He does not profess to be an orator or an elocutionist, but the hundreds wh heard Captain Warner last night will testify to his ability to present his subject in a vivid, instructive and enlightening manner. Being a native Irishman and gifted as are all sons of the Ould Sod, he kept his audience in smiles for much of the time, and his hearers shared his regret that he was unable to speak for a greater period of time. One feature of Captain Warner's talk was his exposition of trench war fare, as waged by both Allies and Germans He has an expert s knowl edge of offensive and defensive weap ons of all descriptions, from the hand grenade to the 42-centimeter shell.

Early yesterday morning he applied for enlistment at the local Marine Corps recruiting station. Although but fourteen years of age, he weighs 151 pounds, is 5 feet and 10 inches tall and has a chest measurement of 33 1-4 inches. "You see," Harold said, "I want to do my part I'm big enough and- I want to join the Marines they're the kind of fellows I like. They get to fight first."

H. Feare Son Washington, May 8. (United Press) For the guidance of puzzled patriots, the war department has pre scribed this simple formula for hang. in gthe American flag as it should ba hung: Wherever possible hang the flag from a staff, and not against the wall use bunting for the wall. If, however, a flag is hung against a wall, the field of stars should be always to the north on a north and south street, and to the east on an east and west street. Never hang it horizontally, if pos sible to hang it otherwise, but if hung horizontally, the end containing the stars should be at the north or east. Army regulations call for the flag to fly from sunrise to sunset, buit is is optional with the individual wheth er it shall bly at night. D'ya Suppose ty; Burned Isabel? London, April 22.
