Read the announcement in the Daily Democrat. A modern St. Cecilia is the type of woman played by Gladys Brockwell in her newest b:*g photoplay for William Fox. “A Branded Soul.” This picture, full of action and artistrv from one end to the other, comes to the Crystal theatre tonight. Mexico is shown in this production. The intimate life of the republic to the south, forms a picturesque background to a series of incidents which approach their great climax in the burning of an oil field and the destruction of a fortune. Miss Brockwell is Conchita Cordova, girl of she people. She first attracts the notice of John Rannie, millionaire, by rebelling against his depredations. He has ordered his men to tear up a church yard in their search for new oil lands and hew wealth. And Conchita defies him to continue the work. Rannie calls off his men. Within the next few days he cultivates the acquaintance which began thus intiuspiciously. He learns that her lover, Juan Mendoza, is a secret agent in German pay. and he uses this knowledge to force the girl to meet his terms. At the last moment, however. Rannie is overcome by the innate purity and piety of this beautiful creature. He forgets his evil ways and seeks to marry her. But his wooing is cut short by the hatred of the populace. They have set fire to his oil fields, and when he tries to beat back the flames, they threaten to kill him. Only the pleading of Conchita saves this man from death. And he seeks penitance by her side.

WERE ON PARADE (Continued from Page One) 1 cool when you are sleeping on the ground. I must admit that 1 have chafed more or less under the restrictions placed on a buck private, but of course grin and bear it. 1 feel that 1 have a certain ability for organization, etc., and my place in civil life rather demonstrated, but it is hard to demonstrate that in the army. I must simply bide my time because 1 know I will make good sooner or later. I am afraid 1 make a rotten soldier so far as manual of arms and physical attainments are concerned, but 1 believe 1 have a greater capacity for learning and let us say. more executive ability than the average. I hope everything goes well at home. 1 still feel that the war is nearing its end. and although 1 must confess those of our French compatriots with whom I have talked do not seem to share that belief, time alone will tell. With love, 808. From Pvt. Robt. J. Nachtrieb, Co. F, 330th Inf., Am. E. F., via N. Y., France. 0 , MILITARY NOTES. Miss Jennie Venis received a letter from A. O.
