M More startling, however, is the

As early as Nov. 1, lit 15, cer

In there a man in the

There Is a film at the Apollo

theater this week that says there

are such men.

"God's Country and the Wom

devotion.

The filmed version of James

Oliver Garwood's book is one in

No Sappy Goodness.

It is not a milk and wator story

of sappy goodness. The blood of

strong men is split in the snow

in telling how the big-hearted

The spirit of the great north

When Philip Weyraan found

the only woman in the world in

He meant it, too, and when she

■ Without knowing the reason for

her request, or the cause of her

"This is only part of the trou

a baby.

"I have seen the baby, and it

How Transported.

In December the first Russian

troops appeared in the streets of

Marseilles. So strict wao the' cen

arrival, let alone the route by

which they came, was permitted

to pass to the outside world. At

two other times later fresh con

until April of this year that dis

patches were permitted to go to

the newspapers of England and

AinerU-a, announcing the arrival

of several Russian regiments.

Immediately the question arose

-how did they come?

it did not seem possible that

they had been brought by sea

Trust Co., his wife, aud his son,

husband of the girl, was schedul

Uenj. \V. Sherwood, one of the

attorneys for the defense, was

the last witness. He told of the

marriage of the young couple

and denied that he acted as at

parents, and the Lyens at the

same time.

After Lyen had sat in the

Once he said that Lewis told

him that Aldeen was a "chicken."

Attorney Hart misunderstood

the word. He asked Lyen to re

"Chicken!" Lyen shouted.

"C-H-I-C-K-E-N, CHICKEN!" .

two questions in one.

"There you go with your dou

Lyen would protest.

Most of the questions asked

or "He did not."

Mrs. Lyen testified she has vis

"What conversation did you

have with him, If any, about re

H. D. Ccfoley.

"I wanted him to come back

He said: 'I'll never go back.

"Never."

"Did you ever hear of his being

Letters from Japan now cleai

up the mystery.

The four hundred thousand

Russian soldiers now on French

soil were conveyed from Vladi

vostok and Port Arthur by tlie

Japanese navy. They went ii

three separate expeditions, arouiu

India anil through the Suez ca

nal. The first expedition wai

comparatively small, the seconc

ried no fewer than 200,000 fight'

ing men.

A fourth expedition is now or

In this wonderful feat is a ter

rible lesson to America. Japan

has proved that she can trans

"You saw Aldeen again in Octo

"She had a picture of the baby

and she wanted me to look at It."

"Did you look at It?"

"1 did not."

"Why didn't you?"

Babies Don't Interest Her

"I never saw a picture of a

2-month-old baby that was at in

terest to rue."

Mrs. Lyen contradicted all tes

timony that Aldeen ever called

up on the phone and asked for

Lewis, occasionally having Mrs.

Lyen tell her eon to "call up Al

She denied that Esther Aldeen

had ever begged that Lewis be

brought buck to her and to the

baby.

"What did she come to your

home two times for, then?" was

asked.

"1 guesß she just wanted to see

She said she did not give her

WASHINGTON', 1). C, May

22.—Numerous and uncer

tain are the possibilities to be

foreseen in the double-head

ed republican - progressive

presidential conventions to be

held June 7 in Chicago.

Here are the obvious ones:

Both conventions MAY nom

inate Theodore Roosevelt.

The republican convention

MAY nominate Charles E.

Hughes.

The republican convention

MAY nominate any of the fol

lowing: Burton, Weeks, Fair

banks, Root. Sherman, MeCall.

The republican convention

MIGHT nominate Borah, Cum

mins or La Follette.

The republican convention

MIGHT nominate Brig. Gen.

Leonard Wood, "dark horse."

The progressive convention

MIGHT (not likely) nominate

Charles E. Hughes.

The progressive convention

MAY nominate Roosevelt against

Hughes; or against any of the

Burton, Weeks, MeCall class of

candidates.

Roosevelt MAY refuse to take

a nomination from the progres

sive convention. In ease the re

publicans name a "satisfactory"

candidate. He only can say what

candidate would he "satisfao

tory."

THEN:

The progressive convention

MAY nominate Hiram Johnson,

Victor Mttrdock. William Allen

White, Henry Allen or Gilford

Pinchot.

These are a few of the obvloua

possibilities. The uncertalntlee!

of the situation hang on two

questions:

1. What will the reaction- '

ary republican I muses deride

to do with their hand picked

convention?

2. What will Roosevelt

finally deride to do?

In case the republican bosses,
