CANON CITY

At the Chamber of commerce lunch
con at the Strathmore hotel at noon
on Tuesday H. v. George rendered his
resignation of the secretaryship of
that body to take effect at the end Of

ter upon his duties at Cripple Creek

retaryship Mr. George has made many
friends among the people of this COM
munity who will regret his departure
for new place of residence. He is
live, energetic young man, and un-
der his supervision the chamber of
commerce has been able to accomplish
much of real public benefit for the
town and its surroundings. In their
removal to Cripple Creek to make
their homo Mr.. and Mrs. George will
carry with them the best wishes of
a host of Canon City people.

LECTURE RECITAL BY
MISS SMITH AT THOMPSON'S

Miss Elma Smith, dramatic soprano
who recently came to Cahon City to
live, gave a very interesting as well
as instructive lecture-recital last
evening at the home of Mr.. and Mrs
Roy Thompson.
Following the discourse dealing
with the technical side of the produc-
ton of the perfect tone, her pupils
demonstrated in a convincing man
ner the devices used in developing a
voice that is resonant and entirely
on the breath.
The evenings pleasure was com
pleted by the singing of Miss Smith
herself accompanied by Miss Marie
Schweigert. Among the songs given
were, Now is the Month of Maying",
by Jewel; THE Cuckoo by Lehman:
'Laddie," by Thayer.
In these songs her voice displayed
with ease and joyously a magnetic
quality that thrills and inspires the
listener. This ability has come to
her through training under such teach
ers as Richard f. Parks, now of the
New York Opera Co.. and Madame
Rehfuss who studied for opera under
the famous Lombardi of Italy; Jean
D'Reske of Paris, and Ihas. Clark of
Chicago

BRYN MAWR GIRL
As CIRCUS RIDER
Miss Julian Noted Bareback Rid
er Was Athletic Star at
Girls School.

In all the circus world there is no
bareback rider better known than
Miss Dollie Julian. She is not only
the highest paid circus rider in the
world, but she is the only woman who
has successfully performed a somer-
sault on the broad, rosined hauncA
of galloping horse. Single, forward
and backward somersaults are Miss
Julians specially, and she does these
just to Timber up as she expresses
it.
Miss Julian is the principal bare.
back rider with the Carl Hagenbeck-
Wallace Circus, which comes to Els
marck Thursday, August S, for per-
fOrmance, at 900 and 500 p. M, and
parade at 10 o'clock.
When the big show is over and
Dallie Julian emerges from her pri-
vate dressing tent one would pick
:ler for debutante or society girl
She is slim of build and is just past
her twentieth year, and is unmar-
ried. Her brother. Fred Julian, trav-
els with the show and is a member Of
the executiv staff.
Miss Julian is a gradual Of Bryn
MaWr college. In school she was re-
markably fond Of athletics. One sum-
mer her father, who is banker at
Fall River, Mass, spent week VITA
the Carl Hagenbeck-Wall Circus,
along with him being his daughter,
Dallie. The daughter had always
yearned for life under the canvas, and
thh father believed that week of
roug:ling it would remove all tracs
for desire to follow the circus.
The week with the show saw the lit
tie college girl blossom into full-fedg-
ed circus star.
Under the guidance of Dad Dock
rill, the famous circus equestrian d.
rector, Miss Julian developed into a
remarkable rider. She has duplicat.
ed every feat performed by a male
rider. and has left her sister riders
far in the background. !.

Allies Look For Another German

London, July 23.-The Austri

ing their great attack against
the Russian army defending War
saw with undiminished energy, and
at some points report that progress
Las been made.
They are operating, however,
through country which the retiring
troops have Laid waste and where
the roads are little suited for the
movement of the heavy artillery
whicl is necessary for the lombard
, .ent of the great fortresses that bar
their way.
Still Retreating.
It is not expected, therefore, that
decisive actions on any Of the fronts
will be fought for a few days yet,
although the battle between the Wis
tula and the Bug rivers, where the
German field marshal, Won Macken-
sens, army is advancing toward tie
Llblin-Cholm railroad, has about
reached climax. Here, according
to the German official communication
Issued this afternoon, the Germans
have succeeded in breaking the OBJ
stinate resistance of the Russians at
several points and forced them to re-.
treat. 3EtHg.i ..u.ga Lt .. -fis.
The Russians, however, have had
lots of time to prepare a series Of
positions. and it is believed taat they
7;il make every effort to hold them
1..til if it becomes necessary, their
army is able to retire from Warsaw.
Z On Western Front.
The severe fighting is still going on
in the Argonne and in the Vosges, on
the western battle front, but without
bringing any very material change
in the position of the opposing arm
les. It is reported unofticially that
the Germans are marching through
the St. iMihiel for more extended
offensive, but the official communi-
cation does not indicate that any
thing in the nature Of serious en-
gagement has occurred there as yet.
