Charlie Chaplin and Marlon Da vies at the Page three days. , Beginning today this management 4 the Page theatre will offer its pa trons something novel-a war pic ture! - ' ' But wait! We should add to make our point quite clear that It Is a war comedy. That's a little better, eh? But wait again! Charlie Chaplin Is the star That makes us friends again, doesn't It?... - . And if you want even further urg ing, Charlie Chaplin's comedy, war picture Is a new picture. It Is none of this old stuff made over, boiled down and cut up. "Shoulder Arms," this is Its title, Is the second of his pictures made exclusively for distri bution through the First National Exhibitors' Circuit. Mark that Well. When you see the name First Nation- 1 on a Chaplin picture you will also see Charlie's signature, and when you see that, you know that It's au thentic, his latest and best. f In "Shoulder Arms" Charlie takes a. stab at the Hun, and succeeds In bringing kaiser, crown prince, and von Hindy, Into the American lines, captives all. The management of the Page the atre refuses to take It upon Itself to enumerate the laughs in "Shoulder Arms." - The cashier tried that, tho she is an expert accountant, soon los,t track of the number, and gave it up. But what we will say is that "Shoul der Arms" Is a comedy on the life of the soldier that Is just packed with laughs. There la a lot that 1b hu morous in the doughboy'sjife despite the serious work that Is his. And we for one offer a hearty vote of thanks to Chaplin for bringing this humor out on the screen. ' , COUNTRY COUSIN" COMING TO PAGE Miss Alexandria Carlisle is sched uled for the Pace Monday. February 24 in the Booth Tarkimiton-Julinn Street comedy, "The Country Cousin.'' This play ran for six months in New York nnd was highly endorsed bv bpth President Wilson and the lnte Col. Roosevelt. The authors have cpntrasted the people of a small west ern town with those of the so-called em art set of New York. The types have been drawn sharply with much humor and With amusing situations and strong climaxes. ' Miss Carlisle is one of the most beautiful and tal ented of the stars on the American fttuce and has the role of Nancy Price, the country cousin, in which Mio has scored a distinct triumph. She comes here under the manage ment of Klaw & Erlancer and Gcoree G. Taylor with a strone supporting company including Alfred Lunt. Jack Crosby, Genevieve Town.- Grace Hampton, Julia Stuart and others. ' ' 'A Woman's Recommendation Mrs, D. T.

B. I. BMVOOD. ARMY INJUSTICE. SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN - lias again, romU'ml'a service to. the army mid to tho American people by introducing a bill to. remedy the abuses and misearrages of justice inflicted by military courts martial, which have been meeting out unheard of sentences for trivial offenses. Such injustice seeu:s inseparable from, militarism.. It is one of the features that make a large standing arniv un popular,' in that it breeds the snobbish caste systeni and inhuman treatment, bringing out all the brutality of force and lack of human sympathy in the management of' men that makes for Prussianism. It will surprise most people to know that such auto cratic tryanny prevails in tue democratic army ot tue United States, out testifying before the senate military committee, General Samuel T. Ansell, who was acting Judge Advocate General of the army while General C-row-der was occupied with the duties of Provost Marshall General, testified that American court martial methods were much harsher than those of Great Britain or France, harsher in fact than those of any except ' the armies of Russia, Prussia and Spain. He declared the punishments meted "intolerable", and "shocking," and due to the ad herence to red tape. . ., Need of reforms is shown by sentences inflicted dur ing the past year in cases quoted by General Ansell. A few are given as examples: death penalty imposed upon au American soldier in France, for refusing to drill when he was ill and physically unable to obey; death penalty for a soldier iir America who. went to the bedside of a dy ing father without leave, returning 'to duty after his par ent's death; a sentence of 40. wuo refused to give up a package or cigarettes to a second lieutenant; 40 year sentence for a soldier, who absented himself without leave; a 15 year sentence for a private who visited a sick wife and baby in destitute circum stances, without leave. These sentences were mitigated by interference from Washington, but they' show the spirit of injustice that prevails in courts martial. . ' . General Ansell claimed the authority of the Judge Ad vocate General's office to review and modify the findings of courts martial, but the war department and Secretary Baker overruled him. He charges the general staff with "professional absolutism" and styles the system of ad ministering justice "an anachronism." 1 . To show the extent of absolutism, the case was cited of twelve non-commissioned officers dishonorably discharg ed and sentenced to imprisonment of from three to seven years each, because of a minor dispute with a young lieu tenant just out of West Point. One thing seems certain, the American army system of administering justice is un-American and undemocratic and should go into the discard along with autocracy. WARSAVINGSTAWIPS "It is really a shame the way the people have been cashing in their war savings stumps at the postoffice the past few weeks." said Assistant Postmaster Will Warner todav. Such proceedings shows a luck of patriot ism. "Now when a holder of liberty loan bonds sell his bond or bonds the gov ernment does not renllv lose, but it is different when one cashes in his war savings stamps. When' you cash in your war savings stamps von are just going down into I'nclc Sam's sock and taking money which the old gentle man needs in keeping up the running expenses of the government. If the government cannot raise expense monev through war savings stamps and similar measures why the monev must be raised bv increased taxation. So there you are. You take your choice." Oak Grove School Notes. On January 31, the Oak . Grove Student club was organized, with Aubrey Xorris, ' president, Lester Lawrentz, vice-president, and Violet Storm, secretary and treasurer. The two teachers were, elected honorary members and advisors. A school newspaper. Oak Grove Outlook, has been organized with Mary Meier, editor, and Clara Finley, assistant. The girls have been busy scouting about for items, and a hu morous paper is expected for the next club meeting. Thelma and Dorothy Wolfprd have recovered from the influenza and are in school again. Leona Cox has returned to school after a brief illness. Ruth and Jean Butler have left for their former home in eastern Oregon. ' Miss Davis, the primary teacher, has returned to school after an ab sence of three days. Watch the' date, February 25. The school, together with the West Side school, expects to join the Howard school in a spelling and arithmetic contest next Tuesday, and the yell leaders have been busy the past week expecting to be able to grin in the same old manner whether the victory is theirs or otherwise.
