They are shown as a couple of

Mistaken Identity dominates the
theme. It does, not end with the
comedians - being, mistaken for
fliers, but Louise Brooks, the
charming and' beautiful leading
woman, figures in the mistakes.
She plays twin sisters, -one Ger-i
man and one French. Wally loves
the German girl and Ray the
French; their problem of telling
them apart is a tough one and
leads to no end of amazing situa

heroes of the Germans, and then
heroes of the French. Naturally
such good "breaks" don't last,
and they find themselves before
firing squad and between the

battle. It is reported that the fate
of Chengchow now hangs In the
balance. If this city should be
captured by the- northerners it
would permit them a more com
plete cooperation against their
foes in Honan and Shanel and
would eliminate any aid that
might be forthcoming to them
from General Feng Yu-Hslang,
once known as the. Christian gen
eral. . '
Chang Tsung-Chang, the north
ern general has renorted to Pe
king that Feng's troops are with-
darwing toward Honanfu, the cap
ital of the province and that the
early fall of CHengchow may be
expected. However, the combined
forces of the so-called red spears
with those of Fens contend that
they repulsed the northern ad
vance from Tammgfu In south
Chlhli. on Chante Ho, indicating
that Feng has his back to the
wall and is fighting desperately.
Claim Not Backed Up
Foreign reports received here
now show that the northern claim
to have recaptured Chochow, 40
mues soutnwest of Peking, was
premature.
