THE PlERCES
Delight Large Audience Thursday
Evening at First Baptist Church

The Pierces won both the delight
and admiration of their audience in the
First Baptist church Thursday evening
when they appeared in the first OF
the series of entertainments to be held
the coming winter under the auspices
of that church.
The program comprised sextette of
representations and character sketches
in costume taken from life, each and
all of which were acted with that sim
pie charm which conveys truth and
yields interest and instruction. What
especially won the approval and APP
probation of the audience was the de-
lightful manner in which the vocal and
whistling numbers were woven in as
part of the sketches.
The program was as follows: Man
Proposes" by Mr.. Pierce; "A Charac-
ter Study from Life" by Mrs. Pierce;
"A Child Study" by Mrs. Pierce; "Ros-
sizes Letter" by MIR. Pierce; "A Royal
Princess" by Mrs. Pierce and The
Lawyers Advice" by the Pierces
These entertainers are known as
The Pierces-Dramatic Artists" and
are Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Raymond
Pierce of Athens, Ohio. Mr.. Pierce
holds the professorship of public
speaking in the school of oratory as
ISOLATED with the University of Ohio
in Athens, and is enabled to make the
present tour with his wife by leave OF
two weeks absence from the univer-
sity. The tour has been conducted
under the auspices of the Eastern Ly-
ceum of Boston and the Pierees have
spent the larger part of their time
in the northern part of Maine ami
Aroostook county. Tonight they will
give their last performance before the
Emerson School of Oratory in Bos-
ton and will then return to their home
in Athens, Ohio. Mr.. Pierce is a ma
tive of Monmouth, and the enthusiasm
with which the townsfolk of that COM
munity turned out last evening to see
and hear one of its sons must indeed
have been gratifying to him.

whistling solos, and was compelled to
respond again and again. Her first
number, Isle glamour was followed
by "Bartlett's Dream" and a little
Irish melody. In her flute numbers
she was equally pleasing, giving for
an encore, Silly Night" The violin
list was also a cellist and her selec-
tons on both instruments were very
enjoyable. The pianist and accompan
ist was also a soprano soloist and her
first selection, Yesterday and Today"
was followed by THE Bow-legged
Boy" and she graciously responded to
encores. The orchestral numbers were
delightful too and one of the incest
things about the program was the fact
that nearly every number was an old
favorite all were familiar with the
numbers and while it was classic it
was also popular and admirably suit
ed to a mixed audience. Orlando e.
Frost, chairman of the entertainment
committee spoke briefly outlining the
course and also announced that 500

Fighting day and night from deep
trenches whose wonderful, effective
entanglements of baTbed wire, steel
sharp-pointed rods and sharp-pointed
stakes are almost touching, the thou
sands of men comprising the Ger
man left and the French opposing
wing seldom see each other. Prob
ably never before has there been
staged a battle so Electrically set as
is the present. The line of battle runs
wave-shaped for miles through dense
forests, over and around high hills
and across deep valleys traversed
with fast running streams of water.
The French stUbbOrnly contest ev-
cry attempt of the Germans to adj
vance. Lines of trenches are extend
ed a foot at a time. The thousands
on each side dig themselves in like
field moles. They cover their every
movement. Even the guns are hidden
and their locations cannot be ascer-
tanned by the opposing forces as their
smokeless powder leaves no trace.
And, in the open country the trenches
are so constructed as to be invisible
to an aviator unless he flies very low.
When he does fly low he seldom re-
turns to report. But there are always
volunteers on both sides to attempt
it. They go out and most of them are
killed. A few are captured alive and
they are treated with the considera-
ton their daring demands.
The hills and valleys constantly re-
vertebrate with the booming of the
hidden cannon. Many of the shells
are wasted because the target is, of
necessity, a guess. Yet many fall true
and kill the forces hidden in the
wooded country or buried in the
trenches. There is only scattering
rifle fire. The troops have no targets

It is when attempted soTties and
charges are made that the infantry
get into action. Most of these as
sauIts are made at night, and it was
as a result of one of these that the
present position was taken. Then the
Germans advance in closed mass
formation, firing from their hip and
ending their work with desperate
bayonet charges which are usually
effective.

and the territory adjoining, although
they are still subjected to a heavy
artillery fire. The children, however,
play about the streets and the in

unconceTned way. They express no
curiosity. Familiarity with danger
has in this case effectively bred a
feeling of utter contempt for it.
The reports that the Germans were
making an assault in force on Toul
and Nancy are erroneous. For the
present their chief objective is the
smaller line of forts along the Mouse

front from Basic, Switzerland, to

stubborn defense, withdrew from
Tirlemont to stronger position,

onslaught of the Germans into the

rushing for shelter were trampled
under foot. There were also many
people fleeing from Luvain, and
the city Of Brussels was reported

A half dozen or more forest OF
brush fires we're burning within a
radius OF FIVE miles of Rathdrum
last Sunday, famed by steady
western wind. There was much
smoke in the air and some dust
waited from the far off grain fields
OF Adams county, Washington.
One OF the fires was on the Post
place adjoining town and had to
be watched all day. c. F. Minzel
and family found it necessary to
guard their grain field against a
flre on the east side all afternoon,
and DR.. F. Wenz had to have his
meadow west of town flooded to
smother out a fire which threatened
great damage. All these fires
we're subdued by the rain Monday.
