Not meaning to be dreary or
gloomy, but merely to prepare for
any eventuality, the idea Of need for
speed in THE States" this year is
emphasized by reports of the posi-
bilities on the boat which Sir Tea.
Upton has built to trim the Yankees
in the CUP contest. Extraordinary,
surprising startling, ugly and rangy
are some of the adjectives dug from
n. WebsteI's collection to describe
the Upton boat by the first American
to inspect her The rules of the race
prohibited Designer Nicholson from
building a scow or freak. Nicholson,
adhering strictly to the letters of the
prohibitive rules has laid down about
the best little old combination freak
and-scow boat yet seen. The Sham
rock is said to be neither a scow nor
freak. But it is said to combine the
best features of each of these classes.
The vast spread of canvas is said
to be especially startling. The huge
rig has to have special fixings to
make it stay aloft BY these special
devices an extra spread of six feet
at the base is obtained. Oh yes; one
other adjective was dug from the
Webster collection in painting a pic
ture Of Sir Thomas's challenger for
Americans. Marvel" is the word |
However, Americans have the salts |
faction of knowing that the American |
boat will be manned by sailors of the |
same nationality as Captain James !
Lawrence, John Paul Jones, and |
George Dewey. Which is some con-
ISOLATION.

Discreet in Rejoicing.
BORDEAUX, September 1.-THE re-
ioicings on the part of both civilians and
officials over the news of the success of
the allies is discreet. On every hand it
seems to be realized that the present bat
tie is but one phase of the great struggle.
Gabriel Hanotaux, former minister of
foreign affairs, in an article to local
newspaper, discussing the situation, says:
Paris is always fifty leagues from the
frontier. With what rapidity are 200
kilometers (about 124 mi!es) won or lost

Too Happy for Shouting.
LONDON, September 14.-Dispatches
from Paris to Bordeaux to the London
newspapers describe scenes of en-
thusiasm, mingled with the thankful
ness of the populace. at the news OF
the German retreat.
The streets, the dispatches say, are
full of people, all too overjoyed to ex-
press emotion by noise or singing, but
men are seen embracing each other
with fervor. while women gave vent
to their feelings by crying quietly.
Everybody is amazed at the uneX-
pected change in the tide of war ana
the fullest credit is given Gen. Pau.
who is regarded as having, by prompt
and decided strategy, changed the face
of the campaign.
Everybody is asking what the Ger
mans will now do whether they will
be able to reform their forces and
make a stand, and what will become
of the crown princes army, tangled
up in the wooded Argonne region. 1t
is understood that the factor which
brought about the changes in the for
tunes of war was the new army which
Gen. Pau formed quickly and quietly
at Verseille, composed of some of the
best troops from the eastern frontier
and a fine body of cavalry. This army
marched through Paris northward and
then turned northeast. Its effect was
felt at once.
Petrograd Enthusiastic.
A Petrograd dispatch to the Central
News describes a scene of tremendous
enthusiasm on the first night OF i'm
perial grand opera season, when bull
letin describing the destruction of the
Austrian army between the rivers Bug
and Dniester was read in the middle
of the performance.
The Russian hymn was sung over
and over again and the national
anthems of the allies also were sung,
while the ambassadors and ministers
of those countries bowed from their
boxes.
Tumultuous demonstrations took place
in the streets. the crowds almost fight
ing to buy the newspapers.
The Russian minister of commerce

sion of engineers to the town of Stryj,

cupied by Russians with a view of

College Students to Present
School"

Regarding the play "School'' to be
given by students of Middlebury college
Friday evening of this week, it will be
of interest to literary people of Middle
bury to know that it is one of the pop
ular plays of the dramatist T. w. Rob-
ertson.
The play of Mr.. Robertson, though
written forty or fifty years ago, still
hold place on the English-speaking
stage. Caste, his masterpiece, was
revived by Marie Tempest in 1910 and
was one of the successes of that winter
in New York, surprising the most blase
theatre goers by its freshness, absorb
ing interest and clean good humor.
"School" is not so important a play,
but it is perhaps better adapted to
amateur production. The character
drawing is excellent, especially the part
of the old Beau, Percy Farintosh, for
mery a favorite role of the noted Eng
lish actor, Sir John Hare. 1t is inter-
esting also to remember that it was in
Robertson's plays that Arthur Pinero
first acted, and from them that he first
studied the dramatic method in which
his own plays afterward showed him
such master.
