BT LEONE CASS BAER.
WASHINGTON. D. C. July 3. No devl.
tlon or concession from th present traffic
rates will be granted to theatrical managers
or travelers.
There might possibly be In the distant
future but no hope can be held out for that.
This Is a war measure. It descends upon
the just and unjust alike, and It Is not our
Intention to make any concessions to theat
rical people.
This Is the statement, made by
Gerrit Fort, director of passenger traf
fic of the United States Railroad Ad
ministration, to a representative of
Variety, a New Torlc theatrical pub
lication. If it is final, it comes as a blow to
the theatrical profession, which has
anticipated that the administration
would recognize that theatricals neces
sarily traveled, with a resultant ad
justment by it of the increased trans
portation rates as far as the theatrical
business at least is concerned.
The added rail rates are peculiarly a
burden to theatrical managers, who
must provide transportation for their
traveling: companies, and to the indi
vidual player, as in vaudeville, who
routes himself or herself from stand to
stand.
It is almost generally agreed that
shows will be cut down to meet the
Increase or eliminated. Vaudeville
considers the possibility of sending'
out road shows, in place of the present
scheme of booking and in that way
cut down the jumps. In the Western
bookings the nine months' increase in
tourist rates may cause & traveling al
lowance by the several circuits cover
ing the territory.
The prospect of a diminished visita
tion of road companies next season is a
splendid argument in favor of perma
nent plans for continuing companies in
stock next season. The railroad dif
ficulties which war needs put in the
way of traveling attractions have
added materially to the optimism which
prevails among stock managers.
In anticipation of permanency many
new firms and individuals have em
barked in the business.
Broadway theatrical agents and play
brokers report an extraordinary de
mand for players and plays, and scores
of almost forgotten dramas, comedies
and musical plays are beginning ag-ain
to pay authors' royalties and satisfy
a new generation of playgoers. The
extensive plans of the management of
the Alcazar company, to be located in
the Alcazar Theater, formerly known
as the Eleventh-street Playhouse, and
the plans of the Baker Theater man
agement, which will retain and occupy
the Baker Theater, are significant of
the impulse and interest in stock. The
managements of both houses are plan
ning for full seasons and are engaging
actors of metropolitan reputations on
long contracts. Announcements of the
players engaged for both, companies
will be given out later.
Pantages remains our only home of
vaudeville Just now and all the per
formances continue to bell attended.
An excellent bill ends tonight, and the
new one, opening tomorrow afternoon
promises diversion.
"An Arabian Night," a comic opera
In one act in which a company of ten
supports John Crawford and Gus Erd
man, is the headliner. A half dozen
other worth-while acts are listed,
among them the three Jolly sailors,
Sully. Roger and Sully tn nautical non
sense, ihe two Parker sisters, billed as
Just American girls. Eniily: Miller, tal
ented soprano, and Hallen and Hunter,
remedy folk.
On the new bill at the Strand The
ater today is featured M'-ers and La
Byers, a singing and talking 3uo. in
"The Trouble Busters," and the Con
cert Duo, in a novelty instrumental and
inging offering. The famous Western
uetor, Harry Carey, in "Hell Bent," is
the photoplay attraction.
Two spectacle motion pictures are
hooked at the Heilig for presents
tion in the near future. One is the
Government's elaborate film, ."Persh
ing's Crusaders." a comprehensive
photographic story showing not only
T-nlted states preparations for the war.
but American troops actually in action
on the other side. Trench warfare,
hand grenade throwing and pictures
showing the men moving into the front
positions are high lights in the picture.
wnicn, oesiaes oeing dramatic, are un
mistakably genuine. The New York
Times said of the pictures: "'Pershing's
Crusaders' is far and away the best
compilation of war pictures exhibited
here since the beginning of the Euro
pean war." The run at the Heilig is
for a week, starting Monday night.
July 22, and with afternoon and night
showings every day thereafter. The
pictures are shown under the auspices
or tne united states government.
The second spectacle photo drama Is
Hearts of the World.' another D. W.
Griffith undertaking. It is defined as
"the sweetest love story ever told," and
the background is the European war,
but the picture is in no sense a war
picture. The pictures were 18 months
In the taking, and David Lloyd George
and other high British and French
statesmen had a hand in the making.
Some actual fighting on the French
front is shown. This attraction is at
the Heilig for two weeks or longer,
starting July 29.
HEILIG AVAR FILM THRILLS
"Pershlng'9 Crusaders" Shows
Americans in Action in France.
Beginning Monday, July 22, after
noons and nights, the attraction at the
Heilig Theater will be the first offi
cial American war film, "Pershing's
Crusaders," which will be presented
by the Committee on Public Informa
tion under the auspices of the United
States Government.
Photographed by the camera men of
the United States Signal Corps and
Navy, this picture is the most up-to-date
war feature ever shown on a
screen. For instance, the recent visit
of Secretary of War Baker to France
is the subject of many interesting
scenes. Secretary Baker and General
Pershing are shown in their tour of
Inspection. You see the first Ameri
cans taking over the front line trenches
In a sector of the French line. Then
there wheels into view the first Amer
ican gun to throw a shell into the
German lines. Twenty-one boches are
captured and shown at ciose range for
your inspection. The entire second
half of the film is devoted to stirring
scenes of American activities in France.
In the first part is shown what is
being done by a vast army of civilians
all animated by militant patriotism.
There are great guns and projectiles
in the making, the rehabilitation of the
United States as a shipbuilder, the
turning out of uniforms, shoes and
equipment on so vast a rcale that It is
almost unbelleveable. The Navy is
shown in its war work and you fly in
observation planes to see great naval
bases.
Every scene is intensely Interesting
and the picture as a whole will make
every American proud of what is be
ing accomplished by the United States
in the great war. It is a splendid rec
ord of achievement. Being a Govern
ment project no war tax will be
charged.
PANTAGES OFFERING IS GOOD
An Arabian Night" Will Be One of
Features of Programme.
With all the dreaminess of the
Orient and the dash of young America
combined, "An Arabian Night," the
latest and best of the George Choos'
musical comedies, comes featured to
Pantages for the week commencing
with the matinee tomorrow.
Leading the cast is John A. Craw
ford, a comedian of note, while minor
stars and a chorus of pretty girls
roounds out the organization. There
the numerous tuneful songs, including
"The Morning Prayer to Allah," "Come
to Me," "Get a Detective" and "I've Got
to Have the Girls." The costumes are
by the Dugan Shop and Mme. Blood
good, scenery by Ackerman, lyrics by
Darl MacBoyle and music by Walter L.
Rosemont.
The plot concerns the adventures of
two young American explorers -who
discover an American girl held In a
Rajah's barem for ransom. Their res
cue of her and the surrounding inci
dents make a plot exceptional in mu
sical comedy.
Florence and Marguerite Parker are
widely known as "just two American
Girls." They are recent arrivals on the
stage, but their work as soloists in
large Eastern choirs attracted the at
tention of theatrical managers and they
were finally coaxed before the foot
lights; They have a diversified and de
lightful song cycle. The Misses Par
ker are assisted at the piano -by Charles
D. Wagner, a young musician of note
and ability.
William Hallen and Ethel Hunter
have an entertaining little production
entitled "Just for Fun." in which they
introduce many bits of harmony and
bright lines.
Davey Jamieson la a different sort of
a dancer and his act is a remarkable
and enjoyable one. He has many new
steps and his bard shoe dancing has at
tracted much attention.
As the Mudtown Minstrels. Crelghton.
Belmont and Crelghton nave much with
which to please. Their "olio" minstrel
show is a scream, while their song
numbers are well chosen. This is one
of the laughing hits on the programme.
Sully, Rogers and Sully appear as
three sailors aboard the good ship "It
istolaugh." They are expert trampo
line and horizontal bar artists, whose
routine is startling, yet there is plenty
of comedy injected in their offerlnc.

HEILIG WILL STAGE FEATURE
"Heart's of the World" Season's
Greatest 'Film Success.
When "Hearts of the World" la
shown for the first time at the Heilig
Theater for a two weeks engagement,
starting July 29. there will be few
in the audience who will realize that
one single scene of this master pro
duction was rehearsed 127 times before
David Wand Griffith called "Camera."
Many will think that a scene re
quiring so many rehearsals must be
quite magnificent, a kind of panoramic
spectacle like the massive groupings
in "The Birth of a Nation" or "Intol
erance." Griffith's two former produc
tions. Contrary to this, the scene upon
which so much time was spent is
neither elaborate non magnificent, and
still everyone who sees it will realize
why so much time was consumed on
it and why the great director attached
so much importance to it.
It is said on good authority that
for two years Mr. Griffith planned to
get the particular expression he sought
from the faces of the talented juve
nile playens, Lillian Glsh and Robert
Harron. Untold or unwarned, probably
nobody would single out this one scene
as the work of nearly two years, yet
everybody will note the expression of
reverence on the faces of the two
players as Mr. Harron slips the band
of gold on the slim finger of Miss
Gish, and, looking upward, says: "If
we are taken, God will know that we
died man and wife."
This scene was rehearsed two years
ago; in fact, it was the first scene re
hearsed and the last to be "shot." ' In
the interim, during all the long weary
months on the batleflelds of France,
this scene was gone over again and
again. Miss Gish herself tells of re
hearsing it also in a London hotel, on
the boat to France, on the battlefields,
with shells screaming over-head; on the
way back to America, In a New York
hotel, and on the train to Los Angeles.
But. like the searcher of old, Griffith
did not find his Holy Grail until one
day upon his return to his home in
Pasadena, CaL When the three were
again going over the wedding com
pact, he caught Just a fleeting glimpse
of tle expression he wanted.
HIP HAS ENTERTAINING SHOW
Vaudeville and Film, "The Heart of
a Girl," Are on Programme.

LONELY GRAVE RECALLS ONE
OF OREGON'S EARLY INDIANS
Elizabeth, the Silent, Fair to Look Upon a Century Ago, Sleeps Almost
Forgotten at the Mouth of the Columbia River.
BY THOMAS McCUSKER.
OR ages poets have written : of
"those who go down to the sea"
and in all such writings there
is a note of Sadness, because we can
not help associating the moaning of the
sea with the tragedies of life.
One gray day in early Spring I
stood within the sound of the ocean's
roar, near where the Necanlcum flows
its sluggish way, beside a lonely grave
which lies half concealed just out of
reach of wind and wave.
For more than a half century it has
lain neglected and almost forgotten.
Once, someone moved to pity, erected
a fence to stay the tread of man or
beast, but this has succumbed to the
elements and has fallen to decay. This
grave is the - resting-place of an In
dian woman, a full-blood ' Clatsop,
Elizabeth the silent. The ground
wherein Bhe lies is now owned by
James G. Woodworth, vice-president of
the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, but it ia unlikely that he knows
of its existence.
She. was a girl fair to look upon a
century ago, when Lewis and Clark
rested at the mouth of the Columbia
in what is now known as Clatsop Beach.
There she first met the white man,
loved and wed, and became the wife
of Alexander Latta, and with the stoi
cism of her race, she faced the mys
teries of life. '
Those who knew her say she was a j
most excellent character, beloved by all.
and the wonder and the pity is that
her grave is thus neglected that is, by
man, for Nature, of which she was a
part, more charitable and sympathetic
has not neglected or forgotten.
Though 60 years have come and gone
since she fell asleep within the arms
of Mother Earth, the outlines of the
grave are still distinct, and at the head
two cedars grow with arms out
stretohed to shield her from the ele
ments, while at her feet the wild rose
droops and scatters petals like tear
drops on the sward, whose odors mingle
with the zephyrs that waft her breath
like incense towards Heaven.
From her breast outgrows a stately
pine where, nursed for 50 years, it now
defies the desecrater's hand and stands
fitting guardian o'er its mother's
sleep.
I stood uncovered In the dell wherein
this body rests, and at my Bide the
SAGE OF CLATSOP BEACH, who
through the hoar of years, from a fund
of knowledge, conned from Nature's
tome, unlinned the story of the past.
His head was hallowed by the silver
frost of age, but in his heart the
Springtime flowers of youth bloomed
free, and Faith and Hope and Love
were on his lips.
With gentle hand he waved a fond
caress o'er the mound, as with kindly
voice he seemed to address the spirit
of the dead, while entranced and awed,
and with bowed head, I listened to his
benediction.
"Fear not." he said, "Death is not the
end. But, when we reach the summit
where all the ages blend, 'tis well that
we should die and none should mourn
save for the broken ties, but tnese are
soon united in the land beyond, for
those who go must wait for those who
stay and for those who stay, more pity's
due.
If life has reached fruition and with
in its span has left no heritage of woe.
we should not mourn, for all is well.
We should sorrow only when a child
is called, for It goes untutored to the
unknown shore and it must live two
lives for one that's lost, and for this.
our tears should fall.
"I do not know, nor can I say what
awaits us in the land beyond the sun.
I only feel and know that the soul will
never die and that somewhere, some
how, we'll meet again."
When he had ceased to speak a glint
of sunshine fell upon the grave, thouprh

I observed no rift atween the weeping
clouds then, like soft music the trees
were swayed into a gentle murmur,
emitting sounds like loving mothers
make to cooing babes when lulling
them to sleep.
Then, from out the silent' noises of
the solitude there came the oarol of a
bird, low and sweet, yet sad withal.
Its plaintive notes would rise and fall
and mingle with the cadence of the
raindrops as they fell in whispered re
quiem for the dead.
A hush like that of a great sorrow
fell, broken only by the soughing of
the wind as it moaned its tearful way
through the dripping trees, and then
the day went out and the pall of night
came down and spread Its shadow
mantle o'er the scene.
BRITISH URGED TO SAVE
Buy War Securities Is Plea
of An-
drew Bonar Law.
LONDON. June 10. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) Urging the
people of Great Britain to economize
and Invest all their surplus earnings
In war bonds, Andrew Bonar Law, Brit
ish Chancellor, has given advice that
may be heeded in every allied nation.
He said in an interview:
"Lives must be lived more simply.
"Personal, household and business
expenses must be reduced to the mini
mum. '
"The surplus of weekly or monthly
earnings over necessary expenditures
must be invested straightway in Na
tional war bonds or war savings cer
tificates. "Current balances at the bank should
be kept as small as possible and the
money invested in National war bonds.
"Private Individuals with money on
deposit in banks should draw as much
as they can and invest in National war
bonds.
"Business people and firms with
money on deposit should withdraw all
not absolutely needed for their busi
ness operations and invest it all in Na
tional war bonds.
"I am confidently looking forward
to the reinvestment In war bonds of a
very large part of the 50.000,000 in
dividends which fall due on Saturday,"
added the Chancellor.
The Chancellor does not contemplate
another long-dated loan and Is con
vinced that the method of continuous
weekly borrowing is best from every
point of view.
Outlining . an agreement with the
principal banks whereby the latter will
reduce their high deposit rates and
urge customers to place their surplus
funds In war bonds. Mr. Bonar Law
said, "The Importance of this cannot
be exaggerated. The amount of de
posits In the banks Is steadily increas
ing. It is from the deposits that the
subscriptions to the war bonds ought
to come.
"To lend one's money to the country
by buying war bonds is a national war
service second only tn importance to
actual participation in the armed con
flict. Nobody's money can be neutral.
"I am confident that the good sense
and patriotism of the nation will make
it unnecessary to ration money.
"If every investor, big and small
throughout the country would make it
a regular habit to set aside- weekly

ANDES .CROSSED IN PLANE
Lieutenant Candelarla Makes Rec-
i
ord Flight Over Mountain.
BUENOS AIRES. June 1. (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press.)
After many fruitless attempts, the Ar
gentine military flying corps has
achieved its one great ambition the
crossing of the Andes Mountains in a
heavier than air machine. Although
the Andes has been crossed by balloons
no one has ever been able to get over
them with an airplane .though many
tried, and George Newberry, the son
of an American, lost his life in the at
tempt some years ago.
The successful flight has Just been
made by Lieutenant Louis C Cande
larla. of the Argentine army, in a ma
chine of 80 horsepower.
Because of the many failure and the
dangerous air currents, the War De
partment refused to permit any more
attempts to be made in the region near
Mendoxa. and gave its consent to Cao-
delaria's flight only on condition that
it be made on the 39th. parallel ol lati
tude. The flight was made from Zapala.
Argentina, to Cunco. Chile, a straight
line distance of approximately 112
miles. The mountain ranges in this
region have an altitude of 1200 meters,
and it is believed that the flight was
made at a much higher altitude to per
mit landing facilities in case of accl
dent. The crossing was made In i
part of the country which has little
telesrraDhlc communication with the
outside world, and the details of this
record flight were not expected until
Lieutenant Candelarla returned to
Buenos Aires to make his report to the
War Department.
Candelarla is one of the most prom
ising of the Argentine aviators. He
completed his flying course In six
months.
