AT PAGE TONIGHT
- . 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. ' ,

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."

the oitv Thursday from I'aiuu Lewis
where he was mustered out of service,
lie served in Franco with Hatterv A.
Mitli coast artillery, and saw as much
uctivo service as nnv soldiev from
Jackson countv, if not more. The olltli
arrived in this country from France
on January JStli, and Sergeant Leon
ard gained 1.1 pounds during his
month's stay at Cauip Lewis.
" "I regard mvselt' Hs one of the luck
iest men ulive," said this returned war

The Tvtith regiment first went into
battle at the second battle of tim
Mumc on August 1st, at Chauteaa
Thierry, and left that sector a month

meat was the Mouse-Arsronne drive
beginning September 'Jtl and lasting
until tho armistice was siuncd
November 11. In tho Marne-Ves-1c
engagement his battalion fired
1,077 rounds of ummunitiou. nnd
during the Meusc-Argonne drive
hurled 4748 rounds into the Germans,
The battery lost a number of men
killed and three of its guns were blown
up bv German shells, 1 lie regiment s
casualties numbered -Gil killed nnd
wounded. , , .
Sergeant Leonard is iustly uroud
of having beon promoted to his ser

to 48 hours nt n stretch consttintlv
under shell fire from the enemv and
al lthe while htirliug from its own
henvv guns masses of death-deulina
metal nnd explosives into the enemv.

YOU CAN MAKE YOUR
SHOE BILLS LESS
;
From' Globe. ArUonn, comes this
recommendation of Ncolin Soles.
J. B. Medlvn sends it. He says:
" 1 have never had my Neolm-soled
shoes repaired as the soles always out
wear the tops. The position I hold
keeps me on my (eel most o( the time,
and I can say tliat for comfort nnd
wear Neolin is the only shoe sole.
Millions of others who have worn
Nefllin Soles think with Mr. Medlyn
that they are the only soies for wear
and comfort. Moreover, these soles
cut your shoo bills down because they
make your shoes last so long. They
arc waterproof too. Nef.hu Soles ure
made scientifically by The (joodycar

also make Wingfoot Heels guaranteed
