TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN. 3rONIAT, JULY 15. 1918. f: G. A. KYLE WRITES Experiences While Captive of Chinese Bandits Told. LIFE OFTEN IS MENACED For 62 Says Portland Engineer Is Prisoner of Outlaws in . Interior of China While Captors Flee From Government Soldiery. G. A. Kyle, of Portland, chief engi neer in charge of construction of the Chinese government railways, who was captured by Chinese bandits. March 4, while oa his way to the interior with a small party, and was held prisoner for 52 days, tells of his experiences in a letter to Charles E. McCullough. The Incidents of his captivity make a story as thrilling as anything told In fiction, but Mr. Kyle, with the accus tomed accuracy of the engineer, states the mere facts without elaboration. Xurlng the 62 days of captivity he did not have opportunity to change clothes or to have a bath, and was obliged to travel from 10 to 40 miles every night, in the attempt of the bandits to elude the officers in pursuit. ., Experiences Are Related. Here is the text of Mr. Kyle's letter:. 'I suppose that you. of course, know of my experience as a captive among the Chinese bandits. On March 4, while on my way into the interior with a small party (one of whom was an ; American, B. J. Purcell) to look over V. our railway, surveys and visit the two parties then working in the field, our party was attacked by a band of about 70 Chinese bandits, and as our 24- Chi nese soldiers who . were sent as guard with us did not fire a shot in our de- fense, we surrendered to the bandits. After breaking, open all our boxes and taking everything of value they. could use, including 312.250 that belonged to the Chinese government, they took Mr. Purcell and a Chinese named Mr. Wu, who was born in . America and is an American citizen, and myself prisoners. Only two soldiers stayed to defend us. the rest of the" soldiers leaving us and ..hiding- In the village. Mr. Purcell, the two soldiers and myself fired several shots at long range at the bandits, but when T saw that the main body of sol diers had deserted us, I told every one to quit firing, and we threw away our arms and surrendered. Lives Are Endangered, "After our surrender the bandits en- ; tered the compound where we had tak en refuge, and two of them, for some reason, fired point-blank at Purcell and , myself from a distance of 10 feet, one bullet passing through my overcoat on top of the right shoulder and just graz ing the skin. Two mules in the com pound were killed and one- wounded and the ground was covered with blood. The bandits walked us every night from 10 to 30 miles, keeping away from the soldiers, and we slept in small vil lages in the daytime. In the mean time the American legation, the Siems Carey Company and the Chinese author ities were making strenuous efforts to Bret us released. "On March 25 the soldiers and bandits - had a battle which lasted all day. The soldiers had us completely surrounded and we were under fire from the sol- ' dicrs through the day, and lay flat on ..the ground on top of the mountain "with very inadequate protection till ! dark, when the firing ceased by com mon consent and the bandits proceed ed to break through the cordon of sol diers surrounding us, taking us with them, louring the retreat the bandits divided up into small bands and Mr. Purcell and Wu found themselves with " only one bandit to guard them and finally induced him to throw away his arms and accompany them as servant. -..-They were finally found by the soldiers find returned to Peking about March 28. ' Experience Is Trying. "l . "In the meantime I was with a band ""of nine bandits who managed to elude .. the soldiers, but as they held on to me " pretty carefully I could not escape. "We L were fired on five times by the bandits "-during our escape, and each time my life was in danger. After the 25th I was with seven of the bandits, who left the mountains and we traveled during 'the night from 10 to 40 miles nearly - every night until April 25, when I was ' finally released. I had none to inter- "; pret for me. and I did not speak Chi nese, nor did the Chinese speak Eng -.. llah, and it was a very trying expe " rience. "The robbers did not treat me so badly excepting on the long, enforced marches during the night, and they were continually reminding me that if I did not comply with their demands they would kill me. The younger ones would point their rifles or automatic revolvers at me and snap them In my face to scare me. I was covered with body lice the whole time, and had no time or chance to take off my clothes during the whole 62 days I was with the bandits. My release was finally se cured through Military General Chang, who secured communication with the bandits through the Chinese Catholic priest. As Btated before, I came in on April 25 with the seven bandits who had me in captivity, and in company with the two Catholic priests, and was turned over to General Chang. The robbers were pardoned and the leader was given a position on the bodyguard of General Chang and the others as privates. Although the bandits made extravagant demands for guns and am munition, but never for money, they were glad to escape with their lives Bath Is Finally Taken. "General Chang sent me to a Chinese bath house where I was given a hot bath and a clean change of clothes and '. discarded the lousy, dirty suit I had worn during the 52 days of captivity. I "On April 25 General Chang sent i me under guard of 100 soldiers 30 miles t to Tenchang, a station on the Pekin t Hankow Railway, where Mr. Hitchcock, i who had been staying five weeks in a private car working for my release f took me to Pekin. arriving on tne even Ing of April 27. just two months from the time I left Pekin on the trip into :. the interior. "The bandits are very active now on account of the revolution that is in ; progress between the North and the ' South, and there is no strong central trovernment in Pekin to suppress them and it is not safe for foreigners to trav- , cl very far from the railroads nowa days. I don't think I will attempt -it again soon, although we have two par ties in the field in the interior who seem to be In no Immediate danger."

Yancsi and Roszika, make their Initial bow upon the screen with all the exquisite grace at their command. This pretty pair achieved their fame on the stage by their clever dancing, their lithe beauty and the remarkable resem blance one bears to the other These assets assist them in their debut on the silver-sheet, but the sisters also show a particular aptitude in striking beautiful poses, forming pictures of rare beauty, and they prove to be charming little actresses of no mean ability in the new Peoples Theater of fering. Apologies are made at the beginning of the picture because it was impossi ble to explain how to tell the sisters apart. The substitutes tell you that Tancsl looks, dresses and dances just ike Roszika, and that Roszika looks. dances and dresses just like Yancsi, and not to blame the management if you can't tell which is which. You can't you give it up. but you don't care, because one is as delightful as the other, and the other is as delightful as can be. Even their beaux make a mistake once and kiss the wrong ones. The picture is a frothy, frilly, bon- ton type of musical comedy affair, ab surd as to story but very pleasing to the eye. The subtitles sparkle with up-to-date remarks about places and things familiar to New York's own that Is when they are not trying to tell you that Roszika is Yanscl, or vice versa. The plot is trivial, but daintily seasoned, and isn't Intended to be any thing but camoufalge to show off the Dollys. In this novel way it creates wealth of merriment. The Dollys wear magnificent clothes. and many, many of them, and then, carrying the idea to an extreme, one catches a glimpse of them bathing in sunken pool. One Dolly performs mermaid stunt and executes a high dive in as graceful a manner as An nette Kellermann herself, and the two of them together are seen winning laurels on the Palace stage. They romp around, turn somersaults, vault over furniture, and are delightful and amusing. . News pictorial and beautiful travel scenic are also screened. Liberty. "For Husbands Only," a Lois Weber production, and "Ladies First," a Mack bennett oiiering, co-star on the new Liberty Theater programme, which opened yesterday with one of Henry B. Murtagh's popular organ concerts. The names of Lois Weber and Mack Sennett are well known, and each is a guaran tee of excellent screen entertainment The guarantee holds good in the case of these pictures. Mildred Harris, a demure little screen newcomer, and Lew Cody are the princl pals In "For Husbands Only." which is not the sexy film affair the title might promise to some seekers after that brand of entertainment. The story con tains ginger bivt nothing risque, or at least not so very risque, when one stops to consider that the story Is construct ed chiefly about a girl's efforts to pre vent another chap from stealing her from her husband- Cody, the villain, is a young society man whose chief occupation may be summed up In one word, "women." He meets Ton!, the little convent-bred girl and from then on there's a battle of wits between the two, the girl schem ing to revenge herself upon him for his insults, and the man struggling to take her away from her husband. Her wit is too quick for htm and, when he discovers that she Is the victor. he resorts to an adroit and unusu method of turning her husband against her. Of course the trick doesn't win and virtue Is triumphant, but It keeps audiences in suspense until the final minute. There is much of the whimel cal in the photoplay, which is entitled to that designation much sought after, "different." Chester Conklin and a squad of Ben nett funsters make merry in "Ladles First." "Walrus" Chet la in his glory in this hilarious two-reeler, and there are enough laughs in It to make one forget his troubles. Clara Kimball Young, in Portland to day on a Navy recruiting mission, will make personal appearances at the Lib erty this afternoon and tonight. Columbia. Dorothy Philips, who has had the good fortune to appear in some of the most sensationally successful pictures of a season or two, including "Hell Morgan's Girl." has a vehicle In "A Soul For Sale" that will please her friends immensely and entertain those who don't know the difference between Dorothy and Mary Pickford. "A Soul For Sale" is a nifty title bnt it's not a vampire picture, with ths - .: :i5- 'I' : owner of the soul willing to auction it off for money, title, or something of the sort. No. the heroine is 24-carat fine. It's her mother who wants to link her daughter with money. Add to this desire a weakness which turns the mother Into a thief, and places the girl in a position where she is charged with being mercenary, and then that of thief, and you have an idea of the plot of the Dorothy Phillips special. Nefla Pendleton is the name of the heroine. Her father dies, leaving wife and daughter penniless. and the mother, who has never been taught self-denial, and has an Inordinate pas sion for gems, plans a wealthy mar riage for Nella. They go to a fashion able resort and the girl is thrown at the head of Hale Faxon, a wealthy old rounder who is the scandal of the place. Nella Is compromised financially. cnieny inrougn tne mothers activity, and it looks as though she will be forced to wed Faxon, when Steele Mlntnrn appears and the girl falls in love with him. The mother wrecks this romance by stealing from Minturn. and when Neila enters his room to replace the money and he sees the bills in her hands, the man thinks sties a crook and the resort folk think she's every thing bad. Not until the girl claims her soul as ner own and turns to commercial life, seeking independence. Is she In a posi tion to meet Minturn on a basis of un derstanding and happiness. Poor Fish." a comedy, accompanies me rnimps production. Sunset. "For the Freedom of the . World is a patriotic photoplay of Canada and the trenches "over there." with Aroerl cans who early responded to the call of arms against the Hun hordes as Its principals.

The oame siurr, done at night with an army or lights and star shells, much rmoke and a handful of men. la much more effective than usual picture war fare, while the few trerch shots are most realistic. E. K. Lincoln. Barbara Castleton snd riomaine Fielding are tho leading play ers In this dramatic offering. Lincoln takes tne part of a Yankee llvlnr in csr.ada. He enlists in the American contingent of the Canadian army. He meets a Canadian girl 1 Barbara Cas tleton) and saves her from the attack or a drunkard. This man (Romaina Fielding) is given the choice of golnar to jail or enlisting. He chooses the latter. Before leaving for the front ths American weds the girl. The girl later crosses the ocean and smuggles herself into France with a Red Cross contin gent. She is moved to ths front nsar her husband. The villainous Canadian. made a Lieutenant for heroism per formed by another, spies upon her and manages to bring husband and wife to gether In the officers' quarters. They are discovered and both sentenced to be shot, t'ie penalty for a wife visiting a husband at the front. In desperation the soldier shoots his wife and then asks that he ma v seek death on a peri lous mission. The duty is performed, he falls on the field, and Is rescued by the Canadian who la te'.ven this one more chance to redeem himself. Re covering, the man is pardoned and Is rtttored to his wife, who had recov ered from the wound Inflicted by her husband. .Majestic.

Elinor Glyn wrote "The Reason Why." a story which Involves a wife vho believes that her husband married her only for money, and the man, who believes that the wife is conducting an affair with another man.

' "For the past eighteen years my wife was a sufferer from rheumatism In on of its worst forms." said William Ben nett, who is employed by ono of the arge saw mills at Redmond, Wash- recently. 'Whenever these attacks came on." he continued, "she would get so weak and crippled up that she would have to take to her bed, where she would lie for two or three weeks at a time, suf fering untold a ironies and unable to move. Her left foot was drawn up and twisted so with pain that she seemed to be permanently crippled, and one finger on her left hand was drawn all out of shape so it was useless to her. Her stomach, too, was all out of order, she had no appetite, and. although she was just as careful as she could be about her dieting, her food would sour on her stomach and cause her great distress afterwards. Her nervous sys tem seemed to be shattered, and her rest was so broken at night that ehe could hardly sleep. Her arms and throat appeared to be withered, the skin soft and flabby, and she was just about as miserable aa anybody ever gets to be. For years she had been too weak and ailing to do any of her housework, and what time she wasn't bed she was barely able to get around. "I consulted specialists about her case, but they could give me no hope, and I took her to one of the most cele brated health resorts in the country. hoping she would be benefited through, drinking the water, but it seemed to do her no good. Then she tried all kinds of medicines, but not till she started taking Teniae did she find any relief whatever. After taking a few bottles of this wonderful medicine we are pre pared to say that Teniae Is the only thing we have any faith In. Her last attack of rheumatism was all of two months ago, and she hasn't had a twinge elnce. Her twisted foot la get ting back into Its normal position, and that bent finger Is getting straight and supple like the others. Her stomach, is in such splendid condition that she csn eat anything she wants without suf fering any bad effects afterwards. Her arms and neck are filling eu'. and are plump and firm, and aha sleeps Ilka a. child every night- She is now able to do all her housework, and she la In better condition that she ha bean. In many yeara." .Teniae la sold In Portland by Owl rme Co. Adv. years of age are urged to have their children -weighed and measured under the direction of the National Child's Bureau, as this Is on of the war ac tivities. This will also be conducted at Liberty Temple. Phone your want ads to The Or ego nlsn. Main 7070. A SOUS. Give him ana Eat K war Broadyl
