"WHO IS JUNE?"
"Who Is June?"
The question has been asked in big
bold faced type millions of times dur
ing the last two months in the adver
Using pages of numerous magazines,
of hundreds of newspapers until even
the news gamins have begun - to
query:
"Who the deuce is June?"
And all of thisinquisitiveness has
been aroused by thousands of dolars
in advertising expended in asking
that little three-word question: "Who
is June?"
June is naturally the month that
follows. May and precedes July. But
in this case June is just a demure
little country girl, motherless, fatherless.
Born in sackcloth, June's later in-
heri tan ce consists of a gingham gown
in which she travels over the hills of
Indiana. But over the shoulders of
the frayed gingham dress is a cast
of features and a .pair of eyes that
command attention from all sources.
June, although a product of Indi
ana, is one of those puritanic maidens
who might first have stepped on Ply-

You can camouflage a gun or a
battery in this war so that it cant
be discovered, but after the war
there won't be any camouflage
clever enough to cover up a Britisher
or Canadian of military age in the
United States who has . not volun
teered to fight," said CoL John S.
Dennis of the British and Canadian
Recruiting Mission today.
"One of the classics of American
literature is "THE MAN WITHOUT
A COUNTRY" by Edward Everett
Hale, and the story which is full of
tragedy and ; pathos describes the
unhappy ; fate,, of a,, citizen -of the
United States who lost that citizen
ship and was never permitted for a
moment to see his native land again.
"There are 350,000 Britishers and
Canadians in the United States, a
volunteered for service in the war
and they have also claimed exemp
tion from the American draft be
cause they are British subjects. If
these men do not volunteer for the
British or Canadian Army within
sixty days after the Draft Conven
tion is completed, they will be draft
ed into the United States Army.
They will then be in a very peculiar
and unpleasant position they 'will
be 'Men without a country. What
will their reception be if they at
tempt to go back to England or to
Canada after the war is oyer? --
"Every one will know that they
declined to do their duty by the
United States until forced to do so,
and that they refused to help their
own kin in Canada and Great Britain
in this titanic struggle for a civiliza
very large number of whom have not i tion worth having. Great Britain,
Canada, New Zealand, Australia
South Africa, India and other Brit
ish possessions have not hesitate
to make great sacrifices, why shouU
a Britisher or Canadian in thu
country, living in the midst of plentj
refuse to do his part?
If these Britishers and Canadian,
wait to be drafted they will not im
prove the Allied fighting power at
all, because each one who is drafted;
in tiie United States will merelyj
take the place of a citizen of thia
country in the draft. In these days!
it ..wilfebe -well for Britishers and1
Canadians in the United States to
reed "The Man Without a Country"
and to recall Scott's lines:
"Breathes there the man with sou
so dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This ia my own, my native land

"THE SECRET OF' THE STORM
COUNTRY."
Norma Talmadge, who for some
time has been one of the highest
paid of motion picture stars, with
weekly salary of four figures, and who
now owns her own company and stu
dio. has never had a bank account
and never signed a check!
No she doesn't keep .her money
behind the clock or hidden under
loose brick in the fireplace either.
She simply turns over everything
to mothei: just as she used to in the
days when she was making eighteen
dollars a week. She confessed it the
other dav when she was asked to
buy some boxes for a benefit.

IN GRACE MILLER WHITE'S GREAT NOVEL
"Ik
The Storm Coimfary"
The Sequel to "Tess of the Storm Country."
Norman Talmadge, one of the greatest emotional actresses of tthe
scteen, portrays a role in which mother love Is the supreme Isaue.
With her depths of, feeling, her extraordinary mobility and the ease
with which she can step from pathos to fun, she makes of Tessibel,
the quatter's girl, one of the most compelling figures in fiction.

'111 be glad to take them if you
will trust me," she said. "I have not
enough money with me.
"A check is as good as money,' it
was suggested.
Miss Talmadge shook her head witn
a smile', "I never had a check book in
all my . life," she" said, "and I've never
had a bank account. But wait a minute".
She went to the 'phone and askd
mother to write out one for her and
it transpired that mother had retain
ed the habit of the eighteen dollar
a week days, too, that of refusing
daiurhter nnthine. Which Is more
than a bank account will do. They
refuse checks lots of times.
ttia Sftp.ret of the Storm Coun-
trv " at the Grand today and tomor
row, furnishes this exquisite star with
the greatest screen role she has ever
portrayed, and as a sequel to tne in
fmitable "Tess of the Storm Country,'
made famous by Mary Plckford,
should be the most popular attrac
tion of the month.
It is remarkable that inYhe course
of thA Aisrhteenth century women
most.lv euided the fates of Russia,
while the male sovereigns could not
hold their own, but usually died vio
lent deaths.

tent's dispatch received by Reuters j day
Cincinnati,, Ohio, April 19. Inland
water transportation will be a factor
in foreign trade development afte
the war, declared Walter Parker, gen-1
eral manager of tne JNew uneans
chamberof commerce and former as
sistant commissioner for inland wa
ter transportation of the United
States Department of Commerce, in
an addrels at the convention of the
National Foreign Trade Council to-
nearly a year ago. A cold, almost

Stulpenzel, secretary to the Crown
Princess, has just been received. It
states briefly that the petition can
not be taken into consideration by
the Crown Princess.
Missing Schooner Shows Up.
A Canadian Atlantic Port, April 19.
The schooner, Jean Campbell, 64
days from a Nova Scotian port with
a cargo of flour, has arrived here af
ter having been given up as lost. Rel
atives of the crew have been wearing
mourning.
Tacoma has lifted the ban on tne
employment of married women as
teachers in the public schools.
Agency here quotes tne Tencn gen
eral as follows:
"The course of this battle, like all
hihers, was essentially the same.
eh side would continue to ply blow
and counter blow, endeavoring by
'eight of numbers or superior skill
to find the weak points in the enemy's
armor and each endeavoring to retain
efficient reserves to turn the scale
wn the decisive moment was
reached.
'After four years we are only with-
!? sight of this decisive point. The
Germans have still got in France un--i
reserved and fresh .divisions.

One sure effect of the war," Mr.
Parker added' ".will be that the
world wilL be' more eflBcient in the
generations td come than it has been
in the past and inland water develop

v"The world will need food, clothing
and the materials of reconstruction.
It will need ships in which to move
such commodities. America has th
ability both to produce and deliver.
"Our need for and our will to own

best of assurance that a way will be
found to place our best marine on ec

"The women of France have so much
more to fight for than the men said
Dr. Esther Clawson Lovejoy, who re
cently returned after spending months
of arduous repatriate work at Evian,
to a conference of Red Cross workers in
Wilmington yesterday. The words
fraught with a meaning that only first
hand observation and actual experience
could give stirred the souls of her hear"
ers as perhaps they had not been be
fore. "A man can only die," she explained,
but those lObmen- many of them,
must become the wards of the men they
hate and mothers of children who may
be made to fight against their own land.
To die is easy compared to that."
"The boys of 14 and over are kept
by the Germans to help in the war
against their native land, the speaker
declared. The girls of 1 6 and over are
kept also. The girls can become the
mothers of a Hun who can fight against
her own land. Mother love is stronger
than love for country or anything else
in the whole world. Axmother will
give all for her children. Men cannot be ;s
conquered but women can be through Sr " ,
their mother instinct. The Germans 7 f
know this.
'Why do they keep these girls? They
don't send them back. Is it to breed
rt German army?
"When the women return to France
after having been in the hands of Ger-
mans, they experience a strange inde- 4,
scrbable joy when they reach their na ; T
tive land again. It is' a joy unlike any-
thing that people in Ainerica iiaye'j' r

"They, speak of their boys who have
been killed with a feeling of pride with
their heads raised high, with a serene,
