HOOSIER TROOPS CUT A SWATH

CAMP MILLS, N. Y Sept 14 Even a slacker or a pacifist of the worst species, If such be still at large, would have caught the spirit and been thrilled with patriotism to have seen the more than 1,800 Hoosier lads of the One Hundred and Fiftieth United States Field ' Artillery Regiment marching back to camp this afternoon after four hours of the vigorous work on the drill ground. ........ With the regiment's crack band playing "Let's All Be Americans Now," these . Indiana soldiers marched with heads erect, shoulders back, with long, even stride and with the spirit characteristic of the American volunteers. The men had had a workout which tested them, the task being made doubly difficult because of the broken ground over which they had drilled, but they still had ginger enough left to march back to the Indiana camp in a manner which won high praise from Col. Tyndall. A few minutes after the return to camp another beautifully Impressive sight was witnessed when the several hundred men stood at salute while the band played "The Star-Spangled Banner" for retreat.

At Kambove, In the heart of Africa, there is a modern missionary printing establishment, with a book store, which supplies books in twelve native languages.

MUIRIRA THEATRE Sunday Monday and Tuesday Admission: Lower Floor 20c, Balcony 15c, Children 10c

At the Murray Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. "THE AMAZONS" Cast Tommy Marguerite Clark Willie Elsie Lawson Noel Helen Greene Lord Utterly William Hinckley Marchioness of Castlejordan Helen Robinson Lord Tweenways Edgar Norton De Grival Andre Bellon Directed by Joseph Kaufman. Cameraman, William Marshall Synopsis The Marchioness of Castlejordan and her husband have had three deep disappointments in the shape of three charming daughters, Noel, Willie and Tommy. Both the Marchioness and her husband longed for strapping boys to ride with them behind the hounds and perpetuate the old family name. To offset the disappointment, the Marchioness, "whose husband died during the childrhood of his girls, brought up the three girls as nearly in the manner of sons as possible, much to the scandallzation of the villagers to whom the antics of the hoydenish and charming trio was a constant source of gossip. They wore boys' clothes constantly around their home village and when Tommy, the youngest and most hoydenish. was invited for her yearly visit to some relatives at London, it cost her many a pang to leave them behind. In fact on one visit she managed to smuggle in her dress suit and evening hat and after two or three days of decorous life in the hateful girls' frills and ruffles, she rebels. Putting on the dress suit and silk hat she slips out of the house, takes a cab and orders the driver to take her to the "liveliest music hall in London." Here she meets with trouble In the shape of a Cockney bully who tries to fight her but whom she cleverly knocks down with a quick blow that she and her sisters had learned in their thorough boxing lessons. Frightened at what she had done, she jumped from the box and runs from the theatre with the crowd at her heels. Desperate she jumps into a passing automobile where is sitting young Lord Utterly, the catch of the season. He is astounded at the adventure but admires the pluck of the "little fellow" and takes her to his rooms. There he discovers that it is a very charming young lady whom he has so summarily rescued. Tommy who has fainted comes to and finds herself in a strange room.
