on Monday preceding h a death.
Hia sickness was known of but his

not thought to serious.
For more than 25 years Mr. Mc-

sympathy of a large circle of friends
in their great bereavement.
"Arms And The GirL"
The Paramount Photoplay which
is appearing on Friday night,
March Bth, at the Mexican Theater,
follows closely the stage version
whiJh-«ret with such success a few
years ago Hillie Burke is the star.
Briefly the plot is as follows : An
American girl is stranded in Bel
glum at the opening of the present
war, she innocently exchanges her
passport with a Russim .girl—a
spy Another American— a young
man, also helps the Russian girl by
the loan of hia automobile When
the Germans seize the town
the two Americans who have not
been able to escape are h»ld for
complicity, especially the man,
who is ordered to be shot "The
Girl" saves him by'declaring him
to be the fiance she has boen wait
ing tor, and as if to prove her i
statement the German General or
ders the two to be married at once
This is done and the two young
people find themselves in a most
embarrassing position The hus
band escapes however, while in the
meantime the real fiance appear*
The latter proves himself to be
rather a cad, so the newly mar
ried couple who are becoming fond
of each other resolve to do nothing
to annul the ceremony as they had
planned Altogether. "Arms * and i
the Girl" is one of the most charm -1
ingly humorous and vivid photo-]
plays of the season

A Utter to U«d From Over There.
Dan Cloud In The Lory.
I have a letter from my boy who
is "over there"—th'o (lr»t one He
diesn't tell much—the knowledge
that the leit.-r li' to 1» censored
(lightens Hm. He wai still aboara
the ship was safe; he was-well; .
there was much to write; he.'d
spent his first Christmas' away
i'rom home;' tell mother he haa
been reading his bible; the whole
company was cheerful, "bat "you
will write often and toll me every
thing, won't you?"
What? Nothing while in
that?
Say, you haven't a bjy at the
front. Say, maybe you havent
any boy at all? Nothlnj In that?
You listen here:
That letter's been censored. Th?
corner of the envelope whera he
had marked something was cut pt;.
There was a foreign postmark,
that was blurred. About the onlf
legible mark on it was the clean,
clear print of the A. E. P. censor
ship stamp. Up in the fight-hand
corner instead of a stamp were
the words, "Soldier's Letter''. ' My
boy's letter to me. Soldier? My
lft-year-old boy? Soldier! De'-,
fender?
Look here, Mr. Man, X don't Hnow
you. T don't know if I want to
know you or not. What are you
doing here at home to back up that
boy of mine? How many Liberty
Bonds did you buy? How much are
you conserving food? What are
,you doing in this thrift stamp
drive? Where were you when W3
were around after the Red Cross
and Y. M. O. A. and Y. W. C. A.
funds?
I don't care what your officii!
title is. It doesn't matter to me if
you live in the big house on the
hill. You may be a close-up
friend of So-and-So's who's haa
the big pull for years. These
things don't count any more. What
are you doing to help win his war
for World's democracy?
That boy of mine isn't much oi
a diplomat He didn't slip any se
crets of world wide importance 'by
that censor. I don't think he even
tried. He's Just a blue-eyed boy
—our baby of yesterday—and he
stands up straight and throws back
his shoulders. They call him "The
Kid", and when he Joined he wns
so small they put him as bugler;
he's grown Bince then—grown near
ly two Inches. That was a long,
long time ago. Let's see—that was
almost nine months ago—eight any
how—lt was when the first cal'
came.
(Jet* that? When the first call
for men came that bov of ours be
came a man, and now—he's in
Prance. -He's over there wher
men walk iflto hell with their eyes
open. Over there wh?re th?y
stand up to certain deith Just to
save a few hours for more r-n 1
to come, and more men and more
men, until some day when the Ger
man lines have weakened, there
will be men enough to push thru,
and men enough to redeem this
world for democracy—for civiliza
tion—for those fine nrinciples that
vou and I have claimed in such
loud tones, but never demon
strated.
Nothing worth while?
Listen here—you man : That boy
of mine is over there ready to
Jielp stop the beasts while we (jet
ready to conquer them. He's right
close up to the line. Maybe, for
all I know, tonight.he's crawling
through the trenches with a mes
sage from the captain to Sergt. De
Bruler.
It's hell over there. Maybe out
in No Man's Land, tonight, he's
No! no! There's no use in such
pictures till we have to look at
at them.
But you! Whit are vou doing
to help" this bov of mine? Are you
doinf? all you can? Or. are you
siting with Bime of your cronies
telling how It ought to bp done?
How about you?
Don't you sunpose I know mis
takes are made? Don't you
sunpose we all know mistakes arc
belpg made? Sure wo do. We
knew from the start thev would be
but growling and or|tif*i*ing and
telling h«w it might have been
done doesn't get food an ammuni
tion and lied Cross supplies antf
more men over in back .up that bov
of mine. I don't like iomc things
as they are, but that's neither ymr
nor my ousfness lust now. o'ir
business is to back un that bov,
from whom I Just got the fl>"s f
letter. That's our business, and
'with Ood's helo we are zolnry to do
it. I'm (roing to do It- anrf—you've
