The first episode pictured pre paratory steps of the Tommies in heading- for the battlefront, the second showed them closer to danger and the closing- series pictures them in the midst of shot and shell. Many British residents of Portland have watched every picture of the series at the Orpheum in hope of recog nizing friends and relatives among the Tommies and several have reported Beeing their kin and acquaintances in the war pictures. The entire film gives a close view of every scene. The sec ond episode featured pictures of the German prisoners at work for the Allies and the final episode shows Hun captives by the thousands. Startling Scenes Promised. In assembling of the film for public xhibltion the most startling scenes were held for the final episode. One of these is a picture of a birdman ally making a spiral descent, after photo graphing the German lines. He landed while making a speed of 70 miles an hour. How the big shells are handled on the war line back of the trenches is shown. Hastily constructed railways, motor-trucks, mules and men, all hurry the unceasing stream of shells from the supply depot to the front where they are fed into the big guns to carry death and destruction among the Huns, Patriotic Sons Feature. "American mothers and fathers will be interested In these pictures," said C. W. Niemeyer, veteran, who lectures as the pictures are flashed, "because their sons will be living their lives under the same conditions in a very short time. The discomforts of the trenches, the charge over the top, the merry gatherings around the campfire at night and the general work-a-day atmosphere that the modern war has taken on are all shown." "The Sammies of the TT. S. A.," a patriotic song written by Jesse J. Rich and Jerome Stone, of Portland, will be featured in the musical programme at the Orpheum this week. The melody is said to be of the lilting sort and in the orchestration patriotic airs are merged with the theme of the song. The song has been dedicated by the young Portland composers to the Rain bow and Sunset divisions of American soldiers and it has been copyrighted by Mr. Stone, who is musical director of the "jaz2" band of the Harlow-Grady House.

Tbls curtailment will re sult either In the discontinuance of some of the branch libraries or in a se rious curtailment In the purchase of new books, which are greatly needed If the library Is to continue in effective ness.

It Is estimated that this levy will not be In races at lit). 000. if it reaches that amount. . "The Board wishes to call to your at tention that the .S of a mill levy is no longer sufficient to meet the ever-growing demands opon the resources of the Library and at the next meeting of the Legislature it proposes to go before that body with a bill which will allow an Increase of appropriation and thus afford relief." writes Miss Isom to the County Board. Iaerease la NotecL "In the meantime a real emergncry exists, supplies of all sorts have risen in price anywhere from 20 to 100 per cent, our buildings are all one year older, and, though in good condition now, repairs must be expected. The sal ary schedule waa Increased about 10 per cent. "To meet the present situation we shall need abont 110.000 more than the tax levy will produce. We venture the hope that In your wisdom you will see fit to meet this deficit from your emer gency fund. If this demand cannot be granted, the Library must curtail its work in one or two ways; either It must close certain branches, thus limit ing Its efficiency and causing grave criticism among the citizens and tax payers which these branches serve or It must cut the book fund, which would be equally serious, as books are the ammunition of a library, and we know from history. In the making that with out munitions all endeavor is weak and Ineffective. ' Techatcat Books Needed. "It !s particularly Important to build up our business and technical depart ments at this time when Portland Is entering upon such vast commercial and manufacturing enterprises. It Is equally Important In this time of pain and stress to buy books that make for happiness and distraction, that give courage and hope, or information and Insight Into present conditions. The library as a factor in the making of citizenship cannot be Ignored, "In asking for help to meet this emergency, we wish to state we are planning for no extension of work this coming year, but feel that for the wel fare of our community, for the credit of the city, the library should be main tained In Its present condition of effi ciency and usefulness." The letter further announces that four valuable assistants of the Library Association have resigned during the past 30 days to accept positions In other - cities at better salaries. A librarian of one of the high schools has also been offered a better posi tion ana. unless some salary adjust ments can be made, mora probably will resign. The board will consider the appeal this week In fixing its budget for the coming year. Departure for East Delayed.

MARRIAGE LICENSE FOUND Accused Man Unable to Remember Tear of Ills Marriage, Xame of Girl He Married. Nor Name lie Gave in Securing License. Federal officials yesterday felt they had unearthed a man with a prize" memory when they detained John Hein rich, a young German, as an alleged slacker. Heinrich was anxious to prove he was 31 years of age, and after some persuasive arguments had been ad vanced, he was allowed to wend his way to the Courthouse to prove his ape through the marriage license records. He was allowed to go on his own recog nizance that he would return voluntari ly to the Federal officials and report progress. At the Courthouse, John Heinrich had a rouith session. He could not remem ber the year of his marriage, the name of the girl he married, nor the name ho gave when he secured his license. He said he went either under the name of Heinrich or Henry snd was married, he thought, either in 1S07 or 190S. After clerks had vainly searched the records without results, Heinrich finally remembered that he had be-n married again in 1913. As on his first matri monial venture, he could t remember the name of the girl he married, the date of his marriage, or the name under which he was married. After more than an hour of searching by one, two and at one time, three clerks, the records finally were un earthed showing where he was mar ried, February 18, 1913, to a Miss Bates. Records Prove Charge. When the name of the bride was shown to him, he scratched his head doubtfully and said he did not remem ber her by that name. But what was more to the sorrow of this man of recreant memory was the fact that his marriage records showed him to be a slacker whether voluntary or not. According to his own affidavit, signed In lal3. he was 25 years old at that time. He now admits b will not be 31 until next May. With a memory stl!l somewhat cloud ed and with many misgivings, Heinrich left the Courthouse to return to ths Kederal officials to give himself up. "It looks Jikn a spell in Jail, sura enough," was his parting shot to th clerks who assisted him in provlncr himself a slacker, despite his protesta tions that he had always thought he was a year older. Heinrich neglected to register for the selective draft. IF HE IS A BRITISH OR CANADIAN SUBJECT Give Us His Name Name . . Address , (Where employed if possible.)
