REAL ALASKA SCENES
STAGED TOMORROW
BY MOVIE ACTORS
Tomorrow afternoon at 1.30 the
motion picture company will stage
some big scenes of a real Alaskan
photoplay on the freight platform out
side the railroad warehouse in Old
town, near the railroad offices.
Ladies and gentlemen are invited
by the director ,to come upon the
stage and be present during the tak
ing of the scenes.
“Please tell the ladies,” said Mr.
Gittens, the director, “that we shall
deeply appreciate their courtesy in
assisting us to show, for the first
time, how things are done in Alaska.
The average picture whose story is
laid in Alaska, as all Alaskans know,
shows a rough and boisterous crowd
of the lowest sort of characters. The
scenes we intend to make are not of
that kind.
,
“There will be dancing, and on
another part of the stage the usual
faro and roulette games will be run
ning. Herschel Mayall, the star of
our production, and Miss Dawson, our
leading lady, will appear in their
character roles. A number of local
players will also enact parts in the
play.
“The ladies are expected to wear
dance dresses. The men are invited
to wear typical clothing—gum boots,
shoe pacs, mackinaws and so on.
“A lot of the old-timers have prom
ised to be there, running the bar,
dealing the games, and otherwise
helping to present a true picture of
the good old days when Cordova,
Nome, Dawson and other towns were
magic words.
“Tomorrow afternoon at half past
one—please.”

HIGH HONORS
WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY, July 23 (Correspon
dence of Associated Press).—Decor
ations bestowed recently upon the
Twenty-eighth infantry, First division
by Marshal Petain, included the sec
ond regimental award of the Croix
de Guerre with palm which, in the
French army, entitle the officers and
men of the regiment to wear the
fouragere. American officers say
they believe it quite probable that
authority for the unit to wear the
shoulder cord will be forhcoming
from Washington in the near future.
All infantry regiments of the First
division have now received the Croix
de Guerre with palm, the Sixteenth
and tlie Twenty-sixth infantry beuig
decorated this week at ceremonies in
Coblenz. The Eighteenth infantry re
ceived the award some time ago.
The Tenth, Eighteenth and Seven
ty-sixth field artillery regiments of
the Third division also received from
Marshal Petain collective citations
amounting to the decoration of the
colors of those regiments wii.h the
Croix de Guerre with the gold star
The regimental colors were nor, avail
able for the occasion as they had not
been brought back from Paris where
they were used in the victory parade
or July 14.
At the ceremonies in Coblenz the
highest award of commander of the
Legion *of Honor was received from
Marshal Petain by Major General
Edward T. McGlachlin, formerly act
ing commander of the American
forces in Germany; and Brigadier
General Frank E. Bamford of the
First division. The title of officer
of the Legion of Plonor was also be
stowed upon Major Genefal Robert
L. Howze, Brigadier General Fred V •

CAMPAIGN FOR ERECTION
OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS
COMES TO AN END
“The war department has decided
to stop the campaign for public build
ing throughout the United States,”
it is announced by Colonel Arthur
Woods, assistant to the secretary of
war.
This decision was taken because
the decrease of unemployment in
many localities has been so marked
that some difficulty is reported in
obtaining soldier labor for the normal
industrial operations. It is therefore
considered that the further stimula
tion of public building at this time
would be inadvisable.
The energies devoted in the past
to the stimulation of public building,
it was further decided, will now be
turned particularly into assisting pro
fessional and technical men in finding
jobs. The work of placing this class
of ex-soldiers presents unusual dif
ficulties because the demand for the
high grade of ability possessed by
these men is not at present in such
great demand as ordinary labor. An
active campaign, however, is being
conducted to secure information from
trade associations, technical societies
and large employers with a view to
finding all possible opportunities for
discharged army men who qualify in
this way.
