IN THESE CRUCIAL DAYS OF TIE
GREAT WAR, LONDON LIFE is
MADE CHEERFUL BY WOUNDED
SOLDIERS.

London, Sept 22-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press) ).-Notwith- |
standing the well-nigh total darkness
of the nights and the number of
wounded seen upon the streets, Lon
don life is not without its lighter
shades even in these crucial days of
the great war. One reason for this is
that the wounded soldiers are about
the most cheerful lot London has ever
known. Most of those encountered
along the Strand, in Piccadilly and
other promenades of the West End,
are from Canada, Australia or New
Zealand The wounded "Tommie" is
more often found in the suburbs, in
the neighborhood of his old home.
1t would seem decidedly out of place
to sympathize with these often-time
permanently crippled men in hospital
togs, for that is apparently the last
thing they desire. As matter of
fact they deeply resent it, as a rule.
In crowded tram or tube cars women
often arise and offer seats to wounded
soldiers, only to have them politely
but very firmly refused
Nor will the men ordinarily talk
of where they got it,"
"Oh, somewheres out in no-man's
land" they'll say one chatterbox of a

In this same hotel, which is a sort
of headquarters for the officers from
across the seas, a report was circu-
lated one night of the death of a
young flying corps captain. He had
often been in the club" and only
few days before had "swanked" quite
a bit about the easy life he was
living. All he had to do was to take
new machines across the channel and
turn them over to the aviators at the
| front. Ill lHlS way ne spent doOut
every other day in London, much to
the envy of the fellows "over there"
who were longing for the sights Of

a company of his friends drank a
silent toast to his memory.
Three days later "Gil' created con-
sternation at the club by appearing
very much alive and as hale and
hearty as ever.
"Why, you old cheater," shouted
one of his friends. "go back where
you belong or pay US for that very
expensive round we had the other
night. What right have you got to
be living, anyway
Gil" admitted the obligation en-
tailed by his return from the grave,
paid it handsomely, and is still flying
new machines across channel for the
"wingers' at the front.

Both Canadians and Anzacs delight
in the nocturnal raids made almost
every night on the close-lying Ger

Canadian lieutenant recently worked
his way unseen to an enemy dugout
and suddenly peered over the top. 1t
was a nasty, rainy night, cold and
damp, and group of Germans were
seated about a little stove.
"How many of you fellows down
there?" called out the Canadian in a
raucous voice.
"Nein" came back startled and
ambiguous reply.
"Well, share that among you,"
shouted the Canadian as he hurled a
bomb into their midst and threw him
self fiat on the ground to avoid tho
effects OF the explosion.

The London theatres reflect the
spirit of the times. Serious plays are
all but forgotten, "revues" and mu-
sical comedies holding the boards at
all the better houses. OF course there
are no chorus men in the productions

canteen some time ago when the Aus
traians first came to the western
front Several Canadians were with
in when they espied the wide-b brim-
med campaign hats that distinguish
the Anzacs from all the other sol
diers. The Canadians gave their fell
low Colonials a hearty welcome and
an equally hearty invitation to "have
something" These fraternal details
having been attended to a Canadian
turned to one of the Australians.
when did you fellows come oyer?'
he asked.
Just got in this morning"
"Well, what you going to do?'
This was too good an opening for
the Amaze.
"Oh,' he said in a 'swanky" tone.
"we came over to finish what you fell
lows started"
"Humph," replied the Canadian.
"it's wonder you didn't first finish
what you started yourself down at
Galllpoli."
Then the trouble began. 1t was
Donnybrook affair for a time, but
eventually peace was declared with
renewed and mutual respect for Co
lonial fighting ability.

NOT A BIT LIKE 4 VAMPIRE
Is THE REAL LOUISE GLAUM

Louise Glaum, the girl who appears
at the Queen Friday and Saturday, Is
a totally different person from Louise
Glaum, the actress. Such state
ment may appear an absurdity to
many who have been gripped by Miss
Glaum's sinister characterizauons in
Triangle plays, but il is a fact that
none who know this vampire OF the
screen" will deny.
For nearly two years Miss Glaum
has been appearing under the Thomas
II. Ince banner, and each OF her per-
formances has been that OF the adven-
turess-the type commonly known as
vampire but more clearly defined
as sensual daughter Of idolatry. And
vet. strange as it may seem, she Is. in
private life. the meekest, humblest
and most docile being of the femin-
inc contingent at the studios She
radiates childlike innocence, and
without indicating affectation gives
the impression that she has not YET
graduated from the shy and unobtrus'
i've class.
