CAMP WITHTCOMBE, July 2. (Spe cial.) -This army camp had its first Sunday rest 'today since the mobiliza tion of troops in response to the Presi dent's call began. That was only a couple of weeks ago, but the events of a couple of months have come to pass meanwhile. "Within that brief period the Third Ore gon Infantry. Troop A Cavalry and Battery A Field Artillery have mob ilized here, been mustered, into the Federal service and sent to the Mexican border. So the chance for a short respite from the vast amount of work still to be done was mightily welcomed today by officers and men still on duty here. Pespite the fact that it had been announced that no physical examina tions would be conducted today, five more applicants for enlistment In the Third Oregon came out to the camp. With four already on hand, this Insures that at least nine prospective recruits wjll be on hand when Lieutenant George A. Buck, Medical Reserve Corps, IT. 8. begins the physical examina tions again at 9 o'clock Monday morning. One of the applicants today came from Cottage Grove. Another was from Eqgene. (still another, who lives near -Oak Grave, borrowed a neighbor's rig and come over to see if he couldn't enlist. He said he would return bright and early in the morning. Captain Williams Kept Busy. In addition to those who applied in person. Captain Kenneth P. Williams, of the Regular Army, United States mustering officer for Orearon, who was on the job all day in spite of the op portunity for a Sunday layoff, was kept busy responding to telephone inquiries. As soon as the weather gets better. Captain Williams expects that a big in flux of reeruits from all over the state. He has telegraphed postmasters of 39 Oregon towns requesting their co-operation and that of the press in his cam paign to raise immediately 700 to 750 additional recruits who are badly needed to fill the ranks of the Third Oregon, which left here considerably Under the required war strength. Jiowever, for the three days in which actual recruiting has been in progress, he has done very well. In that time 60 men have applied for enlistment, net counting those who came out lasx flight and today, and 55 of them have raised the physical examinations and been mustered into the Federal service. Needed Equipment Promised. Captain Williams received word from the War Department today that four machine guns of the Lewis type and five light auto delivery wagons' for the machine gun company of .the Third Infantry, commanded by Captain Frank P. Tebbetts, will be sent to the company en the border at the earliest moment. Autos will be supplied instead of mules and pack equipment to save time. Another message to Captain Williams read in part as follows: "You are advised that applications for discharge of married men should be submitted to the department com mander. Discharge by state authori ties of men subsequent to the Presl dent's call and prior to muster-in un authorized. Discharge after muster-in also unauthorized. Y. M. C. A. la Bnsy. The Y. M. C.

HART, the screen's chief Interpreter of Western bad. - man characters, contrib utes one of his most impres sive characterizations In "The Appit tie of "Vengeance." the current Tri angle flve-reeler at the Columbia The ator. The atmosphere of the produc tion Is delightfully convincing, the dramatic element is strong, arid human touches permeate its pictured recital. This feature serves to Introduce Jack Gilbert. Portland high school boy, in his first motion picture role of any consequence. Assigned the part of a young feudist, of-1 the uncompromising sort, who Is willing to eacrinee nis brother at the first suspicion of cow ardice, the young fellow gives a char acterization which presages roucn tor his future in this field, of amusement The g-o'Clock TralB. ' the .first of those much-talked-of Triangle two reelers, presents Fay - Tincher as a comedy star. The comedy-drama Is constructed about an envied love affair between crockery store employes, and much merriment results when a re jected suitor mixes notes so that an innocent lover is charged witlj having a wife and child. The Jomelll Trio, composed of Har riet Leach and Florence Leach, singers, and Jean Knight, violinist, opened their engagement with a number ef pleasing selections, vocal solos and duets and instrumental offerings. In "The Apostle of Vengeance" Hart is a Vermont-raised Kentuckian. who becomes a minister. However, Just as he is ready to accept a charge he is called home to Kentucky to fight for his his family. Instead of fighting, pa preaches peace and love, finally win ning out' against hatred- However, when his sister is outraged he tem porarily "becomes a man,"' as ha ex pressed It, and goes alter the man. With the dastard's throat in his hands, the preacher harkens tolhe gospel and leaves vengeance to God. The union between the preacher and the daugh ter of the hated McCoy brings peace to the valley. The battle between the feudists and the storm scenes, during which Hart hunts for the ravlsher of the girl, are especially realistic of "Gloria's Romance," relates the events following Gloria's discovery of an attack on Freneau. her lover. She Is told that it is a dream, but when messages fail to reach him she is ready for the worst, which Is the announce ment that Freneap's body has been discovered In the river. Interest in this film novel is increasing weekly. Majestic. A typical William Farnum produc tlon, which means one of those strong, virile, gripping dramas of big men In a b'S environment, is Th, Man From Bitter Roots," the William Fox offer ing at the Majestic Theater. Insanity. o the fear of it, Jiangs like the sword of pameeles ever the head of the rugged hero, as the central theme of a plot concerning the struggle for the possession of a gold mine. Splendid snow scenes, reminiscent of January, 1916, in Portland, a number of stirring conflicts, without which Farnum film 'would be a novelty in deed, a love story dominated by the specter of insanity and flashes of hu mor for which .Director Apfel must be complimented, are high lights of a feature which furnishes popular en tertainment. Farnum is Bruce Burt, a miner. In struggle with his partner, "Slim" Nau- dain, the latter is killed and Burt ee eides to take "Slim's ' half-sister as partner. J. Victor Bprudell, a tender foot.

Back in his town Sprudell organizes a company apd things go right merrily until Burt appears. A young news paper woman of the town recognizes in "Slim" a character of Sprudell's story, her half-brother. Although poisoned against Burt, she finally works with him. The mountain Hon film, showing the capturing of Hons, or cougars, by Lion Hunter Bakker, continues to attract much attention, while the Pathe Newt is another feature. Play Is Intensely Dramatic and Presented Ably by Strong Cast, Theater Is Arranged Per fectly for aiovles. In a vine - embowered theater, with electric "skidoo" lights of gay colors playing among festoons of flowers on the walls and with the big new pipe organ playing a medley of beautiful selections under the able touch of R. A. Boone, the Heilig Theater yester day begun its Summer season as a, mo tion-picture house. A more fairylike spot could not have been chosen for the setting of Robert Edeson's play, "The Cava Man," nor a stronger play found for aa opening bill. Robert Edeson has ever been a fa vorite with folk who know tha theater and in "The Cave Man" ho is shown at his best in a big society drama. The play has a modern sociological plot, revolving about tha efforts of a society buttrfly to make a social lion out of one of the submerged tenth, who happens to be a coal heaver. Cant la Splendid, Gelett Burgess, who is a genuine hu morist with an understanding of the dramatic, wrote "The Cava Man" and a splendid cast presents it, including Fay Wallace as the mischelvous society girl who plans to regenerate tne primi tive man. How she awakens the sleep ing cave man; how he profits by her instructions and soon turns into a so cial favorite, with a development of finer instincts, is splendidly enacted by Robert Edeson. Then the coal heaver, mad over Into a man of society, seeks as his mate the girl who, in a moment of caprice, has won him to civilization. She acorns him and he becomes again a man prl meval. He leaves society, invents a new process of manufacture and when fate throws him again to the mercy of the mischievous society maid he be comes truly a cave man and wins her in spite of herself. Story Is Dramatic. The story is powerfuj and intensely dramatic, although It is full of comedy lights. It is in five reels and is a Vitagraph picture, beautifully pre sented as to scenic detail and acting ability. m The Universal Weekly opens the programme with pictured happenings of international and National import ance. Besides - "The Cave Man" and the Weekly there is a comedy film called "Colonel Nut's Musical Shirt." with Frank Daniels featured in cyclonic fun. This bill will run continually frorn 11 A. M. to 11 P. M. each day, changing Thursday. LIQUOR PERMITS GAIN Piekford. Mabel Taliaferro in "The Snowbird," a Metro "wonderplay" of unusual scen ery, and the Royal Hawaiian Seren aders. a septet of singers, dancers, in strumentalists and eccentric entertain ers, divide honors on the Piekford pro gramme which opened yesterday. The appearance of the Hawailans is In line with the new Piekford policy of securing special and attractive mu sical features for their motion-picture bills. The present choice is a happy one, for the septet is one of the best of the character ever seen here, a number of the members appearing in "The Bird of Paradise'1 and all entertaining at - the Panama-Pacific - Exposition. Princess Kealoha. who was accepted from a dozen aspirants for hula-hula dancing at the exposition, is the head- liner of the troupe, while David Nakea, the tenor, and Henry Kane, the eecen? trie comedian, are -prominent among the other specialists. A number of the popular Hawaiian airs are featured. Mabel Taliaferro appears in the garb of a boy. as well as that of a charming girl, in "The Bnownira,'' a story of the Canadian woods. Edwin Carewe, who also directed the picture, essays the ro)e of a French Canadian, an educated man. living in the midst of the deso lation of the woods. He has inherited valuable land, half of which belongs to Wheeler, an American banker. Wheeler's daughter (Miss Taliaferro) is sought in marriage by Mitchell, a young idler, who tries to force matters by embarrassing Wheeler. The only thing possible to save the father is to secure his- interest in the Canadian property, but Corteau, the Canadian, reiuses to reaognige the part owner ship, and holds the only proof. Then the girl disguises herself as a boy, goes to Corteau's hut and steals the papers.

The mystery drama, or the erook drama, has a strong hold on the American puoiie. and the reception of tne starring vehicle for Frances Nel son and Arthur Ashley does not dls prove this. The story is full of action and is plentiful in its elements of suspense. Accompanying the chief plot, that deal ing with a clever forger and the in cidents leading to his downfall, is the delightful love story involving a win some Southern girl and the son of a famous lawyer-crlmlnologlst. Louise, the girl, goes to tha city in search of work and visits an employ ment agency, which is really a mask for criminal operations, giving the crooks a chance to get into various homes, and places - of business. Inci dentally, in a preliminary flash, one is told that th drama is aimed at this employment agency evl whtch flour ishes in many of the large cities. Wilson, the crook and brains of tha firm, falls In love with Louise, but she spurns him. He keeps her supplied with money, through loans made by another, and keeps her from work, thus hoping to force a marriage. The girl falls in love with the son of noted criminologist, and when Wilson attacks the father and tries to impli cate the son In what Is supposed to be murder, the quick wits of tha girl save the day. - "The Mesh of Mystery," chapter eight Peoples.

Phillips Oppenhelm's great novel, "The World's Great Snare," which opened a four-day screening yesterday at the Peoples Theater. Pauline Frederick, the scintillating star of the plcturlzatlon. Is not a Latin; neither is the character she Interprets, but the fire, abandon, exaltation and sacrifice of the world's greatest love affair whatever that may be are de picted, by the emotional screen luminary. Miss Frederick plays an unattractive role In an attractive way In this pro duction. Myra, the dancehall favorite, was denied the right to walk through life in white, unspotted shoes, and was compelled to tread heavily in its mire with very thin slippers. In its present hands Myra is presented, not as a vampirlsh type, giving way to the most sordid Instincts, but at heart a woman of noble impulses, although paying scant need to conventions. "The World's Great Snare" is pri marily a photodrama of story wealth and action as well as love theme. Myra, tha girl of the dancehall, the "snare" for miners fresh from the goldnelds ot California, tires of her life and seeks relief In quiet household cares. How ever, the man upon whom she lavishes her affection is a failure, and worse, and ahe gees back to the dancehall.
