The final episode of "The Retreat of
the Germans at the Battle of Arras."
the British government's official war
pictures, which are the extra attrac
tion of the Orepheum show, begins to
day. 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.

that this levy will not be In races at

"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.

"In the meantime a real emergncry

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

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

"It !s particularly Important to build
up our business and technical depart

"In asking for help to meet this
emergency, we wish to state we are
planning for no extension of work this

fare of our community, for the credit
of the city, the library should be main

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

RECORDS PROVE AGE
John Heinrich Held on Charge
of Violating Draft Law.
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.
