12 7 . ..... , ...J!. SATURDAY EVENING, hajrjrisburg TKT.EGRAPH JANUARY 19, 1918. On Way to France With U.S.Flying Corps, Local Lad Tells of Experience The observations of a flying man, formerly of Harrisburg. L. E. McGin- Ity, now with the Twelfth Aero Squadron of the American Expedi tionary Forces, as contained in a recent letter to his mother here are decided ly interesting. McGlnloy had not yet arrived at the front when this was written, only got so far as Nova Scotia, but his remarks are shrewd and entertaining. "We left New York," he relates, "at 2 a. m. Tuesday, and we were in Phil adelphia at 5 o'clock. By one that <Jay we were on the water but anchor ed. In the morning we were off again. Friday found us along the Maine coast where the sea was rough and the boys began to feed the fishes. My turn came just before dinner. I am on the steamship Northland. a British ship, hired by the United States for the movement of troops. It is about 400 feet long anil there are 2,000 troops aboard, all belonging to the aviation service. We have all kinds of fun with the crew; they are all English, but talk like Irish. Expres sions such as these meself and 'bloody-blooming,' and so many other funny things one hears. Nine out of ten are under IS years of age be cause all the rest of their men, IS or over, have gone to war. One of them said the 'bloodv, blooming Huns are pfraid of the bloody Tanks.' I am at least hoping so." LEGAL NOTICES A DM INISTRATOR'S NOTH'E Estate of Philip Abel, late of Harris burg, Pa., deceased.

Ikeler, a Bloomsburg lawyer, who, it is said, will have the support of the forces that elected John G. Har man, of Bloomsburg, president judge of the Columbia-Montour d;strict last year. Lesher, however, is strong, because of his numerous postoffice and federal appointments. He will be vigorously opposed by friends of those who failed to get jobs, and because he voted t.guinst the woman suffrage amendment and nation-wide prohibition. Republicans are talking of John 11.

Wilson to Consider Taking Over the Meat Industry Washington, Jan. 19. —Chicago stockyard employes last night asked President Wilson to takef over the great packing plants of the country, and the President promised such a step. A delegation of labor leaders told the President that conditions in the plants are now intolerable, wages low and treatment brutal. The work ers even offered to allow the Presi dent to regulate their wages, hours and general conditions. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who accompanied the Chicago labor lead ers, said afterward that the request for government control was made as "a last resort." and that the Pres ident would consider other methods of relieving the tense situation.

Piquant Billie Burke, in the greatest story of her wonderfully brilliant career, delighted the Killle Burke audiences at the lie in "The I,and gent, yesterday, in her of Promise" latest Paramount re lease, "The Land of Promise," which will be shown for the last times to-day. It is a story that was the greatest stage success of its season, and will take its place as one of the greatest sensations of the year in screenland. "The Land of Promise" tells a story that has to do with the unhappy life of a girl "companion" to a wealthy old man and her longing for the hap piness that comes to other girls and seems to have passed her by. How she went to Canada, thinking it the "land of promise," and found only misery even in that fair country; how she married a rough farmer, loathing him all the while, but hoping to es cape the monotony of her life; and how she finally came to love him and appreciate his good qualities is graphically depicted by winsome Bil lie Burke in the role of Nora Marsh. A family squabble is part of the story, and incidentally it is a gem of a screen situation. It shows that it was splendidly directed ,is well acted, and so naturally one feels like an eavesdropper for being around. Billie Burke has for her leading man Thomas Meighan, and is support ed bv a cast, which semes to have been in a race for the acting honors. Mary Alden, John Raymond, Helen Tracy and J. W. Johnson form part of the cast, and perform exceptionally well. What a wonderful title for a mo tion picture drama. All those who witnessed yester- Jcwel Cnrmea day's showing at in "The the VictoriaThea- Klngdom of Love" ter of Jewel Car men, the noted beauty and talented star in this re markable silent drama, will agree that the play lived up to its name. It is totally different from all other west ern dramas, and for that reason all the more interesting. The story moves about a young girl whose father, having been murdered, is com pelled to earn her livelihood by being a dancehall girl in a typical western dancehall of the early days. Being young and beautiful, many of the men want to marry her, all of which she refuses until one day, when one of the younger men, a newcomer from the east, begs her to be his wife, only to lind that they are brother and sister. A letter the boy receives from his mother informs him she is dying and that only an operation, costing more money than they can possibly raise, will save her life. It is then that the girl jumps upon a table in the saloon and dancehall and auctions herself off to the man who makes the highest AMUSEMENTS MAJESTIC THEATER Yon liave only to-nijcht to wee the seaiioii*M Hl* LauKh Feativnl, HILDA'S ANKLE \%ith Clever Comedian*, Singer* nml Dancer*.

These stars have oeen brought into association by John I'. Williams in the Pinero comedy | masterpiece as the two persons in the i present-day theater best qualified to Play the two chief parts. "The Gay Lord Quex" represents the full flow ering of the abilities that the noted English playwright earlier displaved in such comedies as "Sweet laven der." "The Magistrate," "Dandy Dick" and "The Amazons." The Pi nero of "The Gay Lord Quex" is the Pinero of vastly grown powers of plot and suspense, of characterization and of urbanity and elegance. There is the most downright conflict of will against will in "The Gay Lord Quex " The chief figures of "The Gay Lord Quex" —Lord Quex and Sophy Full garney, the manicurist—engage in a clash that for vigor and suspense stands without a rival in the modern drama. Nobleman and working girl both bring to btar all the weapons of sophistication and worldly wise ness upon each other, one to win the hand of a beautiful young girl, the other to prevent such a consumma tion. They stand pretty evenly matched in their great encounter, and the issue is balanced between them until that great burst of feeling which divulges to both their innate fitness. From this tierce encounter neither es capes altogether unscathed, but they emerge with a great mutual respect. Sophy makes herself a spy and an eavesdropper to save her foster sis ter. Muriel, from what she thinks an evil marriage; Quex cajoles, attempts to bribe and then threatens to ruin the good name of the exasperating Sophy In order to win Muriel. He has put folly behind him; the nauseating past can be buried but for this vixen ish working girl, whom no threat can weaken, no bribe lure.
