FRIEND. NOT Thief.
HAD HIS COLD watch

Sergeant of Detectives Green and
members Of the Police Department
stationed at headquarters were
startled on Saturday night and yester-
day when Max Brandt, of No. sol
West Eighth street, persisted in re-
porting the loss of a gold watch.
Brandt said ne knew the man who
took his time piece from his pocket
on SATURDAY night, but he didn't know
his name or address.
Not having this information, the po-
lice were powerless in the case and
Brandt left TO obtain more ihforma-
ton. He returned TO the police sta
ton q second time on Saturday night
and gave the mans address as No
419 West street. which is a grave
yard. He was told TO obtain the mans
name. and early yesterday morning
he ran into the police station saying
the robber was along the Brandywine.
Sergeant Green went with Brandt
along the Brandywine Greek and near
Van Buren, street they met man who
called to Brandt, saying: Max, | have
your watch" II developed that Brandt
and the man were togethe- Satui day
night and he took the watch in a spirit
of fun. Brandt became separated in
the crowds on the street and the sup
posed robber merely took the watch TO
his home until the following day when
he started a. hunt for Brandt.
Brandt received his watch.

BY CHARLES p. STEWART.


BUENOS ANRllS. Sept. 1.-THE
greatest demonstration against the new
British blacklist staged ia any country
attracted an immense crowd to the
Plaza Congreso Sunday afternoon The
plaza was packed. Ten political and
patriotic organizations participated in
the demonstration, but their members
were outnumbered by the throng OF
business men and their employees who
gathered TO protest against the black
list
The speakers included some OF the
most prominent politicians and pro-
fessional men In the Argentine capi-
tai. They accused the British of at
tempting TO break down the whole
structure of international law, and
declared that no neutral nation should
submit to the throttling OF It's own
trade by any belligerent
The retallatory legislation passed
by the United States Congress has
greatly strengthened the hand of the
opponents OF the British blacklist
here. Several speakers referred TO
the stand taken by the United States.
The meeting was advertised by pla-
cards scattered throush bout the city.

On the Allied left wing the Serbians
pressed forward. driving the Bulgars
out OF the villages of Emboria and
Pakeschori Serbian artillery also
forced the Bulgars to retire near
Florina.
Whether the Allied operations. to-
gether with the RussO-Rumanian at
tacks in the Dobrudja form the be-
ginning Of the long expected double
offensive to crush Bulgaria. it is too
early to determine.
Heavy fighting is going on both
north and south Of the Somme. VIII ere
the Germans last night launched seven
attacks against the newly-captured
British and French positions. The
German war office this afternoon adj
mitted the loss of trenches between
Ginchy and Combles but declared that

South of the Somme the Germans
claim the recapture of a few houses
in the Village Of Bernv from the
French. The French war office, how
ever, reported the repulse of five Ger
man attacks.
On the Russian front and in south
eastern Rumania no important
changes have occurred in the past
twenty-fOur hours.

advance in stage production
Stage pictures and personages Of
the Orient spectacles for the eye
and incidents to hold in the memory.
a background of pageant and atmos-
phere and a foreground given over to
noble and moving story of faith and
love and sacrifice this in brief is
1.-THE Garden of Allah" the stage
version of Robert Kitchens greatest
novel which was dramatized by Mr.
Kitchens himself assisted by Mary
Anderson de Navarro.
II is in reality a staging of that
novel rather than a mere "dramatiza-
ton" Some novels may be dra-
matized but "The Garden Of Allah"
had to be staged. The pictures painted
so wonderfully by Mr.. Kitchens words
had TO be reproduced with all the re-
sources Of stage mechanism and cleo
trical effects The desert itself had
to be searched for actors, both men
and animals. and the action called for
uninteligible Arabic as well as our
familiar English
The stage version OF THE Garden
OF Allah" is framed so as to convey
all the atmosphere Of that far away
land with its lonely wastes Of sand.
in contrast TO scenes of tropical
splendor The wildness of the great
sandstone scene i'm this production
in which real sand is utilized, is one
of the greatest and most fascinating
stage effects OF modern times. The
dramatic story is sincere and force
full. with the mighty sacrifice of two
souls. each OF the nine scenes hold
ing the audiences spellbound until
the final curtain.
