BAPTIST. : Notice change of time beginning “‘Some i about 1,000 officers and men was held in Paris on March 15. bii It was decided that a second caucus should be held later in the United States so that the men in service in this country might have a voice in the plans for the organization and in the final | selection of the name. i “The purpose was to take the necessary initial steps to- : ward the formation of a non-partisan and non-political associ- i ation of the veterans of the ‘Great War,’ says the call issued by Colonel Roosevelt, “an association which should keep alive the principles of justice, freedom and democracy for which these veterans have fought; to preserve to future generations the history and incidents of their participation in the war; and to cement and perpetuate the ties of comradeship formed in = . & service. oo “The duties of the caucus will be to adopt a tenative con- | stitution, and to appoint an executive committee which will act 3ok in conjunction with the representatives of the Paris caucus to bt make definite arrangements whereby the organization of the i American Legion will be perfected and whereby all officers and i enlisted men who have served in the military and naval estab- } lishment of the United States at any time between April 6, 1917 and Nov. 11, 1918, will participate in the election of represen- tatives to a convention to be convened on or about Nov. 11. This converition will be composed of delegates from all States, duly elected by the veterans, and will meet with full power and authority to adopt, modify, or reject the steps taken by the caucus, and to take such further action as may be necessary. Minnesota members of the temporary committee are Colonel G. T. Slade, Major Paul B. Cook, W. D. Mitchell, W. B. Thomas, | and Gordon Clark. . . \ 0 A. R. Rogers, chairman of the ninth Reserve district Vic- tory Loan, has issued the following plea in behalf of the cam- paign: “Uncle Sam is going to ask you soon to help him put his Victory Liberty Loan over the top by lending him just as many of your dollars as you can spare. And is asking it: “In sacred memory of 60,000 American soldiers who lie under the poppies of Northern France. “In the name of humanity, of right and justice and liberty and democracy for which they fought. | “In the spirit of gratitude which should animate every; loyal red-blooded American in the country today. “In behalf of the national honor, the national position be- fore the world, the good opinion of the world at large. “In the interest of the common good, the individual and| national welfare. “And there’s only one answer for all of us whose liberties and rights and comforts have been insured by the overthrow of Prussianism and the shattering of its world ambitions. “We must rally to Uncle Sam’s support. Help him make a howling success of this loan and insure for America continued prosperity.” | | | | | R S am— z T R THE METHODIST CHURCH .

The frequency with which bollers blew up on the carly Hudson river boats led to the use of what were known as “safety barges,” and these, in their day, were considered the utmost luxury in travel, comparable to the private cars of the magnates of today. The barges were boats with main and upper decks and were ‘al- most as large as the steamers which towed them. The rabble rode on the steamers, Inhaled the smells of the kitehen and the freight holds, endured the noise of the engines, and took the chances of explosions, while on the barges behind the elite ‘traveled in luxurious state. -Food was brought from the boat kitchen to the barge {.saloon over a swaying bridge be- tween the vessels and was served with great aplomb under the direction of the barge captain, who was a noble figure in the setting. The upper decks of the barges were canopled and decked with . flowers, with promenades and easy chairs from which to view the scenery. At night the Interlors were transformed into sleeping accommodations much the same as a modern Pullman, except that they were more commodious. Not the least attractive feature of these barges, according to a chroalcler of their ex- cellence, was “an elegant’ bar, most sumptuously supplied with all that can be desired by the most fastidious and thirsty.” Recent news dispatches which tell of plans to establish floating cafes on the ocean just outside the three-mile territorial limit when the nation goes dry, indicate that luxurious floating estabilshments somewhat similar to these “safety barges” wmay agsin come into wse S V—— . 3 usual storiessas day from night—and every different from Sullivan’s whit as good as his best. Whether it be comedy, tragedy, comredy dyama or what not—C. Gardner Sullivan seems equally at home. ''His is a rare genius~—the sort one'marvels at and finds.difficult to-define. *ELKO TONIGHT.

Elko theatre next Friday and Satur- day, April 18, 19, offers something different in pictorial drama from the run of great film offerings put for- ward of late. Represented in this achievement are Harold Bell Wright, author of the famous story, which has had a sale of over two million copies in book form, and W. H. Clune, who was -assocfated in the production ‘of ‘“The Clansman” (“Birth of a Nation”) and other large film ventures. b ELKO MONDAY. i Optimism, humor, excitement and novelty are the principal features of Douglas Fairbanks’ new photoplay, “He comes Up Smiling,” which will be presented at the Elko theatre next Monday ond Tuesday. The farce up- on which the picture is based, was highly successful on the stage sev- eral years ago, but it is said the screen version is even more- satis- factory to those who like the ingre- dientts which have been provided by Mr. Fairbanks in this splendid pro- duction. 'MAKING GREAT HIT. “The Heart of Humanity” made a great hit at the Rex yesterday and packed houses are sure to attend the shows to be given today and tomor- row. The orchestra is especially good and adds greatly to the interest of the wonderful play. Dorothy Phillips is featured in the eight-reel Allen Holubar production which brings, to the screen the inspiring story.of woman’s efforts to alleviate the sufferings of the wounded and osrphaned and homeless during the days when France and Belgium were scarred and seared by sword .and torch, and pounded and rocked by great German guns. It depicts the tenderness of the motherheart in.its conflict with the horrors of war. It pays a, deserved tribute to woman- hood as expressed in the Red Cross nurse. It presents a side of the war which we have been too prone to overlook. The story of “The Heart of Hu- manity” was written by Olga Scholl and Allen Holubar, adapted for the copeen by Mr. Holubar and produced by him. It deals with the romance of Nanette, the little ward of Father Michael, parish priest of a commun- ity in the Canadian Northwest. While the parishioners are celebrat- ing the marriage of Nanette and John, the oldest and bravest of the Widow Patricia’s five sons, news comes of the declaration of war by Germany. * HART TONIGHT-GRAND. C. Gardner Sullivan, the celebrat- ed Thomas H. Ince scenario writer, has again rung the bullseye with “Branding Breadway,” William 8. Hart's latest Arteraft picture, which will be shown at the Grand theatre tonight and tomorrow. And it is as What Is The Cause of Headzae 2?
