and others are threatened with starva-
ton. The war has hit the theaters
and theater folk OF the United King
dom a hard blow
Whereas in ordinary times there arc
400 companies on the road, there are
today fewer than half that number.
The darkened streets In London have
already resulted In a decision by
many managers to give matinees daily
and night performances twice weekly,
thus reversing the established order
OF things, and many theaters have been
closed. To the high-salaried actor or
actress who has saved up for rainy
day the situation is not serious. but
the theater employees must have sub
stantial aid at once.
To relieve the situation several
movements have been started, among
them a plan to have special variety

which the public has been urged to
purchase tickets. Well-known ac-
tresses and actors will give their serv-

During the fight on the Niemen there

tern of Russian gun of large caliber
and considerable mobility. No details
are issued concerning it's construction
and principal features but it is the
product of the famous Putiloff works.
Artillery experts who watched it's per-
Torrance are satisfied it is equal in
power and effect to anything the Ger

AMERICAN WOMEN WORK HARD
Mrs. Vanderbilt, Mrs. Harjes and
Others Cooking and Nursing the

Paris.-In the account by Guerre
Sociale Of the admirable work being
done by Mrs. w. X Vanderbilt, Mrs.
Herman Harjes, and other social lead
ers Of the American colony, the details
are related of visit paid to the
Pasteur High school, where the Ameri-
can Red Cross hospital activities have
their headquarters, by General Gal
lieni and M. BRAND.
The visiting general and minister
found Mrs Vanderbilt, Mrs. Harjes,

barred and hands deep in soapsuds do

the city did, that their fortunes would
afford them no protection against ex-
ploding Taube bombs.
But these brave women of America
remained with US to work among
terrible scenes day and night. And
they worked on and still are working
with the knowledge that their nation

gates any more than we would have
