CRANDALL'S

The two things that the public Graves
in summer weather-comfort and
amusement, are what the management
OF Crandalrs Theater is striving TO pro-
vide. A ventilating system that pumps
many cubic feet OF pure air into the
auditorium every minute and a free
sweep Of whatever cooling breezes may
come from at least three points Of the
compass, Insure degree Of comfort.
And the program of the best phCtoplays
obtainable provide the amusement. For
instance today's feature will be "A
Woman's Treachery." a powerful story
OF Russian life. For Monday and Tues
day a leine production. A Maze Of
Mystery" will be shown Wednesday,
Miss Wanda Treuman, the character
actress, will be seen as Countess Hol-
Gska, in The Norwegian Spy" The
feature film Thursday and Friday will
be THE Old Curiosity Shop" and Sat
urday's main attraction Will be The

very great factor in providing things
of worth for US to enjoy has taken his
departure Edwin c. Curtis, stage di-
rector of the Poll Players. has decided
to take his first vacation IN fifteen
years and has resigned his position to
do it thoroughly. Curtis came to
Washington first as the director of the
Columbia Players and remained with
that organization a season, which

He was seized upon By the Poll man
agement as soon as he could be re-
leased from his Columbia engagement
and has been with that concern ever
since. He has staged most Of the pro-
ductions at the Poll Theater for the
left very little to be desired The man
who has been able to pick holes in a
Curtis production has been a person OF
extraordinary perception, not TO say
too capuous a disposition. Curtis has
started on a vacation which he de-
worked steadily week after week for
the past fifteen years without a break
for rest. And he declares now that he
intends to loaf all summer. 1t Is
hardly possible that he will Most of
the people who know him expect to
somewhere within a week or two.
His successor at the Poll establish

Very we'll and favorably known to the
theatrical world for many years. Most
of Mr.. Wayne's fame has come to him
as an actor, a leading man, rather than
as a producer of plays He has been
a much sought lead for stock ccm-
panies and productions alike. Last sea-
son he was seen here in the part of

in which part he expected TO spend |
next season, but the inducements OF

1--WE HAVE TO DO THE BEST
WE CAN"--BELGIAN'S MOTTO
Countrys Soldiers Cooy Realized That They Had to Fight
Even Though They Knew They Would Be Whpped-Ger-
mans Greatly Defenders but Begians Satisfied

They told me their officers had fooled
them. They said their officers gave
them French money on the German
frontier and then yelled to them: On
into France!' Then for three days
they rushed and got to Liege before
they knew they were in Belgium, in
stead of France.
1--WE didn't want to hurt Belgium
they told us, because we're from
Alsace-Lorraine ourselves
you see," continued the logical lit
tie Belgian, ut wasn't their fault, so
we couldn't be mad at them.
That is the BelgiaRs ideal-cooi
logic. -,
"Why did you fight the GermansY'
l asked high government official.
Because civilization can't rest with
out treaties, and it is the duty that a
nation owes to civilization to hight TO
the death when written treaties are
broken was the reply. 1T must be
a rule among nations that to break q
treaty means to fight. The Germans
broke the neutrality treaty with Bel
GUM and we had to fight"
but did you expect to whip the
Germans?"
How could we? We knew that
hordes of Germans would follow the
first corners, but we had no right 10
worry about who would be whipped !.
all we had to do was to fight, ana
we've done 1t the best we could
It has been cool headed, logical
matter with the Belgians from the
start. Treaties are made with INK,
they are broken with blood and Just
as naturally and coolly as the Belgian
diplomats in signing the treaties win
Germany in ink, so the Belgian sol
diers have used their blood in trying
to maintain the agreements.

ADVERTISEMENT,
NOT BID, FAULTY
w. n. Jamouneau Denies That
He Conceded IfreguIarity
on Stand.

William H. Jamouneau protests
that he did not admit that his bid
for furnishing the Ivy Hill aims
house was irregular when he was on
the stand yesterday in the hearing
before Special Master Cora N. Will
Jams.
In a letter to the Evening Star he
says:
A careful examination of the tes-
timony will show that Mr.. Jamou-
neelu admitted in his examination by
Mr.. Bradner that his company did
not submit with prices in all In
stances, but it does not follow that
the bid was informal or irregular on
that account, as the claim is made
on behalf Of the company that the
advertisement did not conform to
the requirements of the law, when
1t required bidders to give unit
prices. When there was no definite
assurance as to the number of ar
ticles that would be required. This,
of course, is question that will have
to be decided by the court. 1t Is
true the city counsel, in his opinion,
stated that the omission of net
prices made the Jamouneau bid in
formal, but he also citel as reason
for informality in the same bid the
fact that the bidder did not state the
time required, and we think his
opinion as regards unit prices is as
contrary to law as his decision that
the Jamouneau bid was informal be-
cause he failed to state the time re-
quired to furnish the goods.

ANTWERP, Sept. (hy courier to
Ostend and mail to New York).-The
little Belgian soldier who climbed into
the cor lrtment was dead tired; ne
trailed AIS rifle behind him, threw
himself nto the seat and fell sound
asleep. He was ready to talk when
he awoke, an hour later.
Eyes, | was up all night by the Ger
man prisoners he said. 1T was a
bad night, there were only sixteen OF
us to handle 200 Germans. We had
four cars and we put twenty-five
prisoners in one end of the car and
twenty-five at the other, and then
four of us. with rifles, sat guard by
the car door.
We rode five hours that way and /
expected every minute that the whole
fifty Germans in the car would jump
on us four and kill us. Four to fifty,
that's heavy odds. But we have TO
do it. You see, there are not enough
soldiers in Belgium to do all the
work, so we have to make out the best
we can"
That explains that plucky Belgian
soldier all over.
He's different from most soldiers
because he is willing to fight when he
knows he's going to lose
I'VE have to make out the best we
cam" is his motto.
in the second place, he's common
sense little fellow. Even While ne )
fighting he's doing it coolly, and there
is no blind hatred in his heart tnat
causes him to waste any effort. he
gets down to the why and wherefore
of things.

prisoners" said a comrade of the tirst
soldier ''They were all good fellows.

TELLS HOW CARS
GUNS GREW MUTE
German Army Officer Describes
Battle Concert" of
East Prussia.
BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN. via Rotterdam, via Lon
don, Sept. 1S-No news from official
sources for publication has been re-
ceived since the midnight bulletin,
whose reports of attacks and counter
attacks indicates that the battle in
France is still progressing. Otherwise
there is little Illuminating news for
the German public, and not the
slightest hint of the movements or
positions of the German army for the
last ten days has been disclosed by
the military authorities, who are de-
termined to veil the situation in abso-
lutte mystery until decision is
reached. They decline to discuss the
statements made in France al Eng
liSh dispatches
The wording of the latest German
bulletin may perhaps be interpreted
as indicating that there is only Sc
ries of minor engagements in prog
ress, but it is understood that this IS
not the case and that the attacks and
counter-a ttacks mentioned are part of
a heavy general eng cement.
Gar ReIaxes Censorship Nigor.
Meanwhile the severity of the CEN
sorship on the Russian front has been
relaxed and a number of stories are
coming through from which 1t Is pos
sible to draw a general picture of the
operations leading to the defeat OF
General Rennenkampff's Russian
army.
From September to 10 the Rus
slams took a strong position on the
line from Angerburg to Gerauden AL
lenburg and Wehlau, the left wing
resting on the Mazurian lakes, and
the right wing protected in the rear
and flank by the forest of F'risching,
whose painless woods and swamps
furnished an almost impregnable po-
sition. The Russians devoted great
efforts to entrenching their position
and brought up besides their heavy
artillery. Russian cavalry secuted
far to the west and south but other
wise the army undertook no offensive
operations in the days following the
battle of Tannenberg.
| The enemy's forces, according to
| the German official account, were
composed of the Second, Third
Fourth and Twentieth corps, two re-
serve divisions and five cavalry di-
visions.
Hindenburg Prepares for Blow.
| General Hindenburg, the German
commander, meanwhile was assem-
| bling every available man, depriving
the fortresses of their garrisons and
calling in all but bare remnant OF
the force protecting the southern

frontier in the vicinity of Soldau,
adding them to achievements re-
celved from the west.
General Hindenburg again resorted
to the customary German outfiank-
ing movement, and since the Russian
right, protected by the forest and
marshes, seemed too strong, he
adopted the daring strategy of send
ing the flanking force to the lake re-
giop to the south, the same character
OF movement by which the Russian
Narew army was trapped and cap
tured a short time before and which
in case of failure might have been
equally as disastrous for the Ger
mans.
The strategy, however, succeeded
although General Rennenkampff Of
fered desperate resistance to the
frontal attacks. After three days
fighting the Russians were forced
back slightly in the centre. When
the flank movement of the Germans
was discovered already threatening
the flank, counter movement was
launched against 1t with new army
collected at Lyck, including the
