Alice Brady Tomorrow.
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.
The opportunity offered' by his pres
ence in La Grande is one of which
prospective soldiers and in fact all
patriotic citizens should avail them'
selves.-'
Captain Warner will talk again at
the Arcade theatre tonight in connec
tion with the moving pictures which
constitute the regular program.
seas are being formulated, Harold
Letcher, of this city, does not intend
to wait for the final decisions before
he joins the colors.
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."
He was rejected on account of his
extreme youth for military service,

J. 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.
