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 trie 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.
VIn 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."

ISSUES CALL TO VETERANS.
Plans for the organization of the American Legion, to be
made up of American soldiers and sailors, will be discussed at a
meeting held in St. Louis, May 8, 9, and 10, which has been
called by Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. He is
chairman of the temporary committee of organization and the
vice chairman is Lieut. Col. Bennett Clark, of Missouri, a son of
Champ Clark. The secretary, of the temporary organization is
Lieut. Eric Fisher Wood of Pennsylvania.
In the call for the caucus it was explained that ifhe idea
for the organization of war veterans had originated among offi-
cers in the overseas service and that the preliminary caucus of
about 1,000 officers and men was held in Paris on March 15.
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.
"The purpose was to take the necessary initial steps to-
ward the formation of a non-partisan and non-political associ-
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.
"The duties of the caucus will be to adopt a tenative con-
stitution, and to appoint an executive committee which will act
in conjunction with the representatives of the Paris caucus to
make definite arrangements whereby the organization of the
American Legion will be perfected and whereby all officers and
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.school,
This convention 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.

LUXURY IN EARLY TRAVEL
"Safety Barges" Instituted for Those
Who Feared Hazard of Voyage
on Hudson River.
The frequency with which boilers
blew up on the early Hudson river
boats led to the use of what were
known as "safety barges," and these.
ID 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 a? large as the steamers which
towed them. The rabble rode on the,
steamers. Inhaled the smells of the
kitchen 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 Interiors 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 chronicler of their ex
cellence, was "an elegant bar, most
tnmptuously supplied with all that can
be desired by the most fastidious and
thirsty."
Recent news dispatches which tell
of plana to establish floating cafes on

AT THE
THEATERS
ELKO TONIGHT.
Mae Marsh in "Spotlight Sadie,"
her new Goldwyn picture, comes to
the Elko theatre tonight and tomor
row, Sunday, and as always there are
appealing touches of humanness
throughout the drama. It all comes
about when Sadie voyages from Ire
land to live with her sister and
brother-in-law. She finds theffli
wretchedly poor and the man a
drunkard. The poverty and squalor
of their tenement home disgust her.
When she sees a newspaper para
graph announcing the marriage of
an actress and the scion of a rich
family, Sadie gets the notion that she
would like to follow suit. "Then
I'll marry a wealthy man and let you
live with me," she confides to her-sis
ter.
A comedy is also on the Elko pro
pazin for tonight and Sunday.
SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
Departing from the mere spec
tacular and concentrating its essence
into a powerful love story, gorgeous
California scenic settings "The Eyes
of the World," whrch comes to the
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 -associated in the
production of "The Clansman"
("Birth of a Nation") and other
large film ventures.
ELKO MONDAY.
Optitaism, 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
dients 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
orphaned and "homeless during the
clays 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
cceen 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

has again rung the bullseye with
"Branding Brpadway," William S.
Hart's latest Artcraft picture, which
will be shown at the Grand theatre
tonight and tomorrow. And it is as
