War at the Columbia! For "Shell Forty-three,"
one of the best war dramas
dealing directly with the European war
that has yet been shown in Portland,
is now playing at the Columbia Thea
ter, with H. B Warner and Enid Mar
key in the leading roles. Splendid plc
turization and vivid battle scenes, the

matic intrigue make up a stirring war
film that is one of Ince's most elabo
rate productions.
A man of mystery invades Alsace
Lorraine at the beginning of the war

commissioned offrcer of the British
Army and still other show him to be
in the German secret service. Neither
the German nor English officers can
satisfy themselves as to the real Iden
tity of the man, who Is frequently en
tertained at the home of a noble Ger
man household, where he falls in love
with pretty Adrienne, the youngest
daughter In the family.

Is a captivating attraction at the Peo
ples Theater this week in that charm
ing Irish play. There are fairies in
this play, for Lady Eileen is an un
sophisticated little girl at an Irish
boarding school and believes firmly in
them. Her life at the school is not
happy, and she Is finally taken away
when It Is discovered that her father
is penniless.
But it Is as If she were born for
calamity. A wjll Is found left by her
grandfather. Terrenes Kavanaugh,
which leaves her a vast estate if she
but marry the eldest son of the house
of Churchill. On the train Eileen meets
Stanley, the eldest son, and a romance
results. She does not know his name,
however, and falls into the clutches of
the younger son George, a wild and un
scrupulous young man, who tricks her
into a marriage. In a fight between
the two brothers George believes that
he has killed his senior and goes to
claim Eileen. The girl eludes him and
in his pursuit he falls from his horse
and is mortally wounded.
So after all the play ends happily,
and "Little Lady Eileen" firmly be
lieves that the good fairies helped her
and that the bad fairies took her de
ceiver. The whole is a picturesque
play with great, beautiful castles and
quaint old Irish folk. . It la bullded
upon' Irish folk lore, and is certainly
one of "the most charming of modern
Irish plays. Little Miss Clarke appears
in attractive costumes and her char
acterization is such that it Is pleasing
to both the grown-up film fans and the
little ones who still believe In "Little
Lady Eileen's Fairies."
Travel pictures and news films are
also shown.
Pickford.
Drunkards and the eVils of drink are
scored in "The Devil at His Elbow." a
Metro attraction at the Pckford The
ater starring Dorothy Green and Clif
ford Bruce. Clifford Bruce plays the
role of a young inventor of submarnlea
and Miss Green has a startling vampire
role. It is a cunning entanglement of
a double romance. Before his rise to
prominence the young man had been in
love with a woman of the streets, who
both loved and befriended him. For a
time he appeared devoted to her. but
when success came to him he disrg
gared her and began to pay attention
to another, a society girl.
The vampire was left entirely out
of the question and resorted t'o the
only plan she knew of regaining her
sweetheart, that of bringing him back
to his pristine poverty and circum
stances. She brought him to her home
and gave him plenty of jvine. All the
while he was working at his subma
rine plans- the vampire kept him in a
daze of drink. So when the invention
wa given a trial by the government
the men and boat were sunk. He is Just
about to murder the woman who is re
sponsible for the calamity, when he
awakes and finds that nothing serious
has really happened and that he has
been warned by a "drunkard's dream."
The climax is a lot different than It
might have been. He marrK-s the so
ciety girl who was in hie dream and
teaches the lesson of temperance to
his children in the closing reel. Al
though Miss Green is very real as the
vampire, she really wasn't in the real
life of the gtory at all; she waa simply
a dream girl, but as the vampire she
accomplishes some of her very best
histrionic work.
Travel and news films and a "Musty
Suffer" comedy are other attractions
at the Pickford that help to make the
show an unusually good one.

Orders In Camp so Men Can Remit
Home Wheat Paymaster Comes.
Chaplain TV. S. Gilbert, of the Third
Oregon, stationed at Palm City,, has
written that the troops there cannot
receive pay until after the Army appro
priation bill, which waa vetoed by
President Wilson, ia passed. ,
The impression that some have re
ceived that the troops at Palm City
have been paid is erroneous.
'.'We have received today" (Auguat
16), writes Chaplain Gilbert, "five let
ters from people in various parts of
Oregon asking: if the men of the regi
ment have received pay. Some seemed
to have the impression that we have
been paid and the men have griven their
families mistaken notions. We have not
been paid and It will be two months on
the 19th since we left home.
"We cannot be paid till . President
Wilson signs the Army appropriation
bill. We expect pay soon. Battery A,
stationed at Calexico, was paid for
June, and Troop A, stationed at Balboa
Park, San Diego, was paid day before
yesterday. Arrangements have been
made to issue express money orders
here in camp so that money will be
sent home promptly.

,mHE story of the Xost Chord'
L finds a parallel in the life ex
periences of many persons." Rev. W.
C. Rantner, pastor of the Pilgrim Con
gregational Church, told his audience
yesterday morning. He used as his
text "The Lost Chord." "The melody
that 'flooded the soul of the organ' and
then trembled off into silence Is a
light that in some supreme moment of
privilege has filled the receptive soul
as it reflected upon and received some
rich disclosure of divine grace," the
speaker declared.
"The disciples on the mount of the
transfiguration, seeing no one but
Jesus, are a sublime illustration of
those who have heard the 'chord di
vine.' Good men and womea in all
ages of time have known the glorious
experience, as it came in the richer
revelations of God's love. And in
some cases the melody by which Christ
has permanently filled and blessed the
soul has been lost because of a break
with the fellowship of God.
"Sin, carelessness and an unwilling
ness to meet the demands of God and
the higher life have silenced the music.
"This lost chord may be recovered
as we pray sincerely with valiant
hearts as did the Psalmist."
e
"Jesus, therefore being wearied by
His Journey, sat down by the well."
With that as a text. Rev. Frank
James, pastor of the Woodlawn Meth
odist Church, pointed out to his con
gregation yesterday why Christ, though
possessing divine powers, sought the
experiences of mortal men.
"Although divine, we must not for
get that Christ was human." said Rev.
Mr. James. "He laid aside the pow
ers given Him by God so that he would
go through the experiences of other
men. As a man he bore superhuman
burdens.
"The reason why he did not assert
the divine right of His nature was be
cause He came to earth to establish a
kingdom, to save the souls of men, and
to carry the burdens of ordinary men
so that, having experience, ho would
have sympathy.
"He refused to assert His divine
right because He chose to be true to
men."
a a
There is such a thing as heart reli
gion. There Is such a thing as head
religion. But the combination of the
two is the best sort of religion." That
was the essence of the sermon deliv
ered yesterday morning byb Rev. C. A.
Carloa. pastor of the Laurelwood Meth
odist Church.
"Heart religion Is too liable to run
to fanaticism," asserted Rev. Mr. Car
los, "and if head religion is all a man
has It is too liable to run into lntel
lectuallsm. The combination of the two
makes religion moat Christlike."
e s
Rev. A. B. Waltz, pastor of the
Glencoe Baptist Church. said in
the Introduction of his sermon yester
day on "Bed Too Short, Covering Too
Narrow," that it was entirely legiti
mate to preach upon apparently sensa
tional topics when preaching upon a
great theme, and the force of the fig
ure of speech Indicated in the sermon's
title was known well to the congre
gation. He said that the title 'of his sermon
was given to the people by the prophet
Isaiah and that it meant to them the
very essence of discomfort. It was to
picture to his congregation character
istics in mankind that spelled discom
fort that had brought to mind the title.
"Life unity is destroyed." said Rev.
Mr. Waltx, "If at either the beginning,
middle or end something defective is
discovered. The law of the Spirit is
sufficiently elastic to expand the whole
length and make one free from the
law of sin and death."
Rev. Mr. Waltz summed his sermon

BLOOD GIFT III VAIN
WALTER SMITH DIES OF GU2S
WOUND DESPITE SACBIEICE.
Father Gives Up Pint ( Blood to Save
Son Shot by His Brother
by Mistake.
A pint of blood, transfused to his
body from that of his father, failed to
save the life of Walter Smith. 14. who
was accldentaly shot by his brother
last Thursday night in a hunting camp
near Bt Helens, Or. Ti e lad died yes
terday in St. Vincent's Hospital.
S. E. Smith, of St. Helens, is the
father. Although he Is about BO years
old, he appears to be recovering from
the drain on his blood supply. The boy's
death is the first fatality of the deer
hunting season in Oregon this year.
The Smith boy was shot at 9 P. M.
His brother and a physician carried
him for miles on a blanket before they
could obtain a mora suitable stretcher.
He did not reach the hospital until 11:30
A. M. Friday, and then waa too weak to
undergo treatment. The transfusion of
blood was made at 10 o'clock that night.
The two brothers were camped at
Bunker Hill with a party of hunters.
Lurlng the night Walter walked in
his sleep. His brother was awakened
and thought that a marauder had en
tered the camp. He cried an order to
halt, then fired a shotgun at the dimly
seen object. Lights were struck and
the younger boy was found to have
been the victim, practically the entire
load of shot having entered the right
hip. - When he waa taken to the hos
pital it waa thought that he would re
cover, although an amputation might
be necessary.
Walter Smith was the son of Mr. and
Mrs. S. E. Smith, of SC Helens. The
body was taken home yesterday.
