London, Sept 9.-That the allies
have taken the offensive and are
making some advances against the
Germans operating to the northeast
of Paris is indicated In advices from
the war zone, but the cautious tone
of the official communications issued
by the French seem to show the for
ward movement of the allies is only
a feeler to ascertain the reason for
the puzzling eastward swing Of the
German right. In any event de-
cisive battle cannot be long post
poned. The move has cleared the
western valley Of the Seine of Ger
mans and given Paris breathing
spell
The battle continues along a front
of lao miles, from Nanteuille-le-Hau
deuin to Verdun The Germans in
their turning movement have swept
try and the five German columns are
hurting their strength against the
front of the allied forces. No con-
firmation of the reported annihilation
of the imperial guard under Crown
Prince Frederick William is at hand
Allies Readjust Their Lines.
The unexpected swing of the Ger
mans has caused a readjustment of
the lines of the allies, resulting in a
battle formation that puts the Ger
man right wing in jeopardy, as the
advance of the allies left proved. Bits
OF news already coming in from the
wounded show that the allies left
wing gained a distinct success, the
Germans suffering greatly while try
ing to cross the River Marne. AS fast
as pontoon bridges were finished the
French threeinch guns demolished
them before the Germans could cross
Dispatches would indicate the Ger
mans have before the front OF their
wedgelike advance the veterans OF
the allies left wing. which underwent
a terrible battering along the Franco
Belgian frontier, but which has been
reinforced. The allies Also enjoy the
advantage of having their left flank
supported by the great fortresses OF
Paris. while on their right flank are
the fortresses Of Verdun. At the rear
Of the German troops are some OF
the fortresses OF Maubeuge, still held
by the French, despite a terrific Ger
man bombardment.
The 30 called army of Paris is be-
lieved to be acting as an independent
force, holding the convex side Of the
curved battle line and menacing the
German communications.

FEATURES ARE GOOD
AT MAJESTIC

No matter how often one is thrilled
these days with the wonderful photo
plays that are thrown upon the
screen, there ever seems to be new
ones that surpass those that have
gone before.
This is certainly the experience
that one has when he goes to the
Mi%astic theatre. The patrons a few
weeks ago thought that they had
heard the last word in photo drama,
but each succeeding 1lm of adven-
ture and daring is greater than the
last one.
To-day and tomorrow the big sue
cess, When Broadway Was Il Trail"
will be here. 1t is a play of tho
early, trying days of America and the
scenes are laid in old Manhattan and
Puritan New England.
Barbara Tenant and O. A. c. Lund
are cast in the leading roles and
are ably supported by an all-star cast.
The picture is in five parts, and is
one Of the best the Majestic has
booked up to date.
Thursday and Friday the patrons
of this house will be treated to some
thing out Of the ordinary Keystone
Comedy in six reels, entitled "Lillie's
Punctured Romance"
To attempt to criticize or describe
a good film comedy is like trying to
make q person laugh by telling him
about a funny cartoon. In fact. it
partakes of tarring refined gold.
When the hilarity is due to the
antics of the players and the nature
of the situations, cold type cannot
make the reader appreciate the pic

In college, Jack relied upon his

result his mind became poisoned.
That was the beginning. From then

the evil instilled in his brothers soul.
Jack took advantage of this love, and
rose far above his brother in mater
ial benefits. Through treachery he
also had won the love of the girl
whom Frank had held before all
things.
In the end. however the truth tri-
umphed in a powerfully dramatic eli
max, in which Franks constancy and
love were richly rewarded.
This is a truly wonderful picture,
inasmuch as the overwhelming situa-
tions which arise therefrom have
been intelligently mastered by its au-
thor, producer and the actors. There
is not a dull moment in the action,
which is crowded with a wealth of
impressive material.
Grace Cunard plays the part of the
girl in this picture, and appears at her
best in the many strong scenes and
climaXes.

torium is indeed a good one, and
movie fans will miss a rare treat if
they do not see all the pictures this

MARY PiCkFORD
AT THE ROYAL

This winsome little actress is
probably known and loved by more
movie fans than any other appear
ing in pictures She has been seen
by millions throughout the United
States and the world during the past
few years, and each of her successes
seems to eclipse the former one.
In THE Eagles Mate" in which she
will be seen at the Royal Tuesday
is the last word in motion pictures.
The writer saw Miss Pickford
in this picture, and must
say that it was the best this charm
ing little lady has been in in some
time Her personality lends itself to
the role she assumes in this picture,
which is that of a strong willed cOun-
try lass. The photography and set
tings could hardly be improved on in
this production. and, taken as a
whole, it is well worthy of the stand
ard set by Paramount pictures.

SUMMARY OF TODAY's WAR NEWS

e1uding the capture of an imp ort- ant German, position.
 Russian assertions that an inn portant victory has been won over the Austrian forces in Galicia were confirmed today in an of ficia1 statement from Vienna in which the admission is made that the Austrians were eonpel1ed tos retreat along the entire eastern front. It is said that the situation to the north, in Poland, is not af- fected by this reversal, although Petrograd asserts the movement of the main German army has been checked with losses describ- ed as enormous.
 Austria's defeat at the hands Of Servia apparently has been fol- lowed by renewed activity on the part of Montenegro whose troops have carried the fighting to Aus trian soil in Herzegovina, and are now undertaking a vigorous of fensive movement. The Vienna war office states that the Mon tenegrin attacks thus far have repulsed easily.
 Russia's claim to victory over the Turks in the Caucacus is. disputed by reports which reach ed Berlin from Constantinople saving that the Turks have won another success" and are pursu- ing the retreatdng Russians. It is also said at Constantinople that another British attempt to land troops in Arabia. failed.

FRENCH

s Paris. Dec. so.@The official an- lnouncement on the progress of the war given out by the French war de- partment this afternoon reads as fol- lows:
 .4In Belgium, we have won territory in the region of Nieuport, opposite Folders. and to the north of sLom- baertzyde. The enemy subjected St. George to a violent bombardment; this is the position we are putting in a state of defense.
 ssWe have captured a German point Of support located to the southeast of Zonnebeke on the road between Bece- 1aere and Paschendae1e.
 From the Lys to the Disc there is nothing to report.
 'In the valley. of the Aisne and in Champagne the enemy has manifested another burst Of activity which has taken the form particularly of y1o- lent artillery fire to which our heavy artillery has replied effectively.
 ''In the Argonne we have made slight progress in the region of Four depres.
 'tBetween the Argonne and the Mo selle there has been cannonading along the front but particularly severe along the heights of the Meuse..
 .rssIn the Vosges, the enemy delivered an attack at our positions at La. Tete De Faux; this was repulsed.
 4'In upper Alsace we are consolida,t- ing our positions. Our heavy artillery reduced to silence the German How itzers which were bombarding upper Aspach.''
