Great stress has been put on this department of play and the play ers are working together well. It is likely that several changes may be made in tlio personnel of the team to-morrow night. Several City League stars have been practicing with the team and will be given a faster company. Gordon Ford, who has been out of the game for some time with an in jured knee, is anxious to get back, but his physician advises him to wait until the member strengthens. A big feature on Saturday night will be several of the latest song hits by Abie Bloom, between the halves.

Anna Held will make her reappear ! ance in Harrisburg at the Orpheum on Monday night, March 12. I Anna Held in her new three act iiu "Follow musical comedy entitled Me" "Follow Me." Like royalty. too, Anna, it is said, sur j rounds herself with nature's noble | women, and in her train will be seen j the most stunning lot of girls ever as sembled in musical comedy. The Messrs. Shubert are directing Anna Held's tour this season and that they have supplied her with a magnificent production goes without saying. News paper comments from Philadelphia. Baltimore and Washington would indi i cate that "Follow Sle" is the positive limit in splendor, and the critics have also had many kind words to say about the big company which supports Miss Held. In these days when so many artists are deserting the legitimate stage for tile movies, it is refresh "When a ing to find an actor who ; Uirl Loves" takes his art seriously and believes in it. So far I the temptations of the film drama 1 have failed to lure Fran Jones : away from his first love, the spoken I drama. At the same time, no one can be serious for a moment while watch i ing.

"Prediction," a comedy-dramatic sketch written and played by Hugh Herbert, the well-known ; \t tlie character actor, is one of the ' Majestic bright attractions on the Ma jestic bill the last half of this week. A competent company sup ports Mr. Herbert in his newest vehicle and they are said to give a perform ance that is more than satisfactory. 1 Lovers o? good music, both vocal and instrumental, will enjoy the musical offering that the Princeton Five are presenting. Completing the bill are Helen Davis, clever singing comedi enne. introducing some new song hits; Beatrice McKenzie and Company, in a singing and whistling act, and Peggy ! Bremen and brother, in an excellent ladder balancing act. William S. Hart will be seen at the l Colonial Theater to-day and to-morrow in liis latest Western Hurt and picture. "The Gun Fight llunliinai) nt er," from the Tlios. H. •he Colonial Ince studios. "The Gun Fighter" is the study of regeneration and self-sacrifice,showing Hart in the role of a badman. known as "The Killer," a restless individual, ! with something over twenty entries in a arruesome little notebook, which rec ords the enemies he has disposed of. It is his boast, however, that he has never killed a man who did not deserve the fate meted out to him. Finally he meets a girl who tells him to his face that he is a cold-blooded murderer, and a terrible Conflict follows in the soul of the man. with good finally trlum iphant. and the outlaw makes a great sacrifice for the girl who has shown ihim to himself in his true colors.

COLUMBIA SELECTS MILITARY LEADERS New York, March 9.—Eight of Co lumbia's leading athletes have been chosen by the Student Board at the Morningside Heights College to act with a committee of faculty members, headed by President Nicholas Murray Butler, for the purpose of mobilizing the university's resources in event of a war with Germany. The student ath letes comprise a sub-committee which will be entrusted with the task of rais ing one or more companies of Colum bia alumni and students as an offi cers' training school. The work of or ganization is on, and it is expected REWARD for HONESTY Purity and Delightfulness Make CAMEL Cigarettes The Most Popular and Best Selling Cigarette Ever Sold at any Price enviable position has caused false JL and defamatory statements to be circu lated about CAMELS, in order to injure their sale. As our investigation of these reports progresses, it becomes more and more apparent that "men higher up" origi nated the scheme and have superintended its execution. They were able to slander CAMELS in two ways: By hiring the irre sponsible to lie about them, and by, perhaps, fraudulently inducing honest men to circu late the lie. But an honest man is always honest. Once he learns that he has been duped into misrepresentation, he not only stops it, but quits the employment of and exposes those who have misled him into being an innocent party to the fraud. Slander will not take the PURITY and DELIGHTFULNESS out of CAMELS. It may, for a little while, hurt their sale among those who are easily deceived. But PURE TOBACCOS, scientifically blended, will continue to make CAMELS the most popular and desirable cigarette on the-mar ket, regardless of price. The man who smokes them knows. To him there is no substitute, and no other brand can be long substituted for CAMELS by slander and misrepresentation. An honest man will not work for a company that uses dishonest methods to sell its product, but he need not look for a job. Jobs, and good jobs, are looking for honest men. We have no desire to deal with the cheap crook. But we want more evidence on the "men higher up." If any honest man, who has been induced by those higher up to circulate a lie about CAMEL Ciga rettes, will, to our satisfaction, establish that fact, we will make it well worth his while, and he will be fully protected. To you, Mr. Smoker, we say, CAMELS ARE PURE, and you know they are DELIGHTFUL. R. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY * Winston-Salem, N.

I Can't Report to Yanks; Papa to Be Hanged Macon", Ga., March 9. —Angel Arra gon, the Yankees' Cuban intlelder, yesterday brought to camp with him a communication from Jose Acosta, tho outfielder, who is supposed to be with Clark Griffith at the present writing. The communication was addressed to Clark Griffith, in Spanish. It was translated by Captain Huston and read as follows: "Don Griffith: "I kiss, your hand, but I cannot re port for a week, as my venerated father is with the insurrecfos and may bo hanged next week. If my papa is to be hanged I feel that it Is my duty to be present as an affectionate son. I am suro that you will appre ciate my feelings in this matter be cause of your extreme delicacy of feeling. If ypur father were to be hanged you would like to be pres i ent. lam sure. "Mv parent is very strict In his no- tions of filial piety, and if I were to lie absent at his hanging it would cut him to the heart, and he would never forgive me. Besides, my venorablo parent is now well along in years, and to be hanged without the presence of his affectionate son might Impair his health and hasten his end. As soon as my father is happily hanged I will hasten to report to you. "Until then, adlos. "JOSE ACOSTA." VISBT PACIFIC COAST "Washington, March 9.
