Samson, n play of great force and
sustained dramatic action, will be
shown at tlm Empress tonight.
The play deals with a laborer who
rose to be a power in finanee. Housed
to wrath by the falsity of hi- fr'eml
and 1" i r.itt that his wife spurns his
love, he pulls dov n the : tr.;< tuie of
wealth which lie lilts created, crushing
the crowd of sycophants with which!
he is surrounded. He, himself, rises
from the ruins, gains the love of Uts

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, June 14. — One of the re
sults of the presence of the British
I army in France is that a good many
| British soldiers take French wives
[home with them. The difference in
language, far from being a barrier,
lis an acse.'sory. Tommie Atkins
!teaches .Miss France English, and .Miss
| France tenches Tommie Atkins
! French.
There is plenty of leisure for the
courtship to develop. Frequently)
i British battalions remain in the same)
section for months at a time. When J
j the men have done their shift in the)
trenches they return, “in rest" as the j
I saying goes, to the same villages |
where they were before. Usually
they have quarters in the French I
houses. In a sense they become mem
bers of the community.
With the French men folk away the
British soldier lends a hand with any
heavy work which requires a man's
strength. Only today the correspon
dent saw a British soldier drawing a
harrow. A feminine hand does some
sewing or cooking for him in return.
The romantic atmosphere is not lack
ing. When the Briton says “au re
voir,” to his sweetheart and starts for
the trenches he may never come back;,
and he is going to fight for France.
On Sunday afternoons the girls are
out in their best frocks as they are
anywhere else in the world, and walk
ing w'ith them along the roads and
lgnes are men in khaki; their conver
sations are a mixture of French and
English.
It is not romance alone that leads
the Briton to marry in France. He
has learned to admire the thrift and
cleverness of the French woman and
her industry in taking the place of her
fathers and brothers who are at the
front.

COLVILLE RESERVATION
OPENED OK LOTTERY
—
The southern half of the Colville
reservation in Kastern Washington,
which will be opened by lottery next
month, contained tho first American
settlement in the state of Washington.
In 1811 John Jacob Aster's men, who
had established a fur trading station
at Astoria at the mouth of the Co
lumbia river, received alarming infor
mation that the Northwest Fur Com
pany, a British concern, had estab
lished a trading post at Spokane,
thereby threatening to cut off the As
• tor trade. The Astor representatives
at once sent men who built a post at
the junction of the Okanagan and Co
lumbia rivers, uad named it Fort Oka
nagan. It passed, with the other As
tor properties, into the possession of
the Hudson Bay Company, which oc
cupied the fort for many years. The
fur traders left on record their opin
ion that the Colville Indians were
worthless and lasy, hut the Indians,

nllU LOSSES IN EAST
WERE VEfflf HEAVY
VIKNN'A, June 17. — (Corresiiond
lre of the Associated Press.) - The
sses of the British Irak expedltlon
•y force amounted, up to the second
eek in May, to more than 100,000
en in killed, wounded and prisoners,
icordlng to Herr Und Politlk.
In a series of engagements with the
inks last November the British lost
020 dead, according to this journal,
id this number must, it says, be ad
■d, together with its proportion of
ounded, to the British casualty list ;
iblished at that time admitting a loss
25,000 men in the I ik campaign,
t the first of the ye r 1016 the Unt
il losses were more than 40,000 of
cers and men killed and wound, d in
action or dead of diseases, according
to this paper's figures.
The battle of Menlahie, late In
January, cost the British 3,000 men
and approximately 11,500 wounded, on
i authority of Turkish reports, and a
; few days before this the British are
declared to have had losses of about
3,600 at Sheik Said. This series of
engagements is conservatively estl
made by the Turks upon British
j Irak forces about 20,000 men.
At Felahie, early in March, the Brit
ish loft on the battlefield, according
to the Turkish official communique,
; nearly 5,000 dead; and In the attacks
made by the Turks upon Afritishi
forces in the same vicinity in April
the British lost nearly ln.OOO killed
and wounded, it Is claimed.
if to ell these figures ate added the
prisoners of kut c l-Aniara, the total
! estimate of 100,000 in British losses
is passed.
