2UBBER rs NEEDED
FOR AUSTRIAN ARMY

Vienna.-FOr the second time since
the beginning of the war the govern
ment has found it necessary to step in
and confiscate the rubber supply. The
second confiscation is so drastic and
far-reaching that it is going to put taxi
cabs, many horse cabs, motor cycles
and host of other things out of COM
mission.
In announcing its step the govern
ment declares that the army is plenti-
fully supplied still with automobile
tires and the like. but declares there
exists a need for synthetic or "regen-
Grated rubber that can be filled only
in this way. In consequence all owners
or prospective owners of solid tires,
outer ties, or inner tubes, regardless
Of their condition, must contribute.
Bicycles are almost the only things eX-
empted.
Automobile and carriage owners are
hardest hit Vienna. and the larger
cities of Austria. still have a more
plentiful supply of cars than Germany,
but these and the twO-hOrse cabs
equipped with pneumatic tires, it is ex-
pected, will go.
The person who attempts to circum-
vent the new regulation may be pun
ished with six months imprisonment,
or fined $4,000 kronen, if he fails to
turn in every bit of rubber tire mate
rial he possesses on the day allotted
The first rubber cOnfiscatiOn was in
November of last year, and was more
successful than expected. SO much
rubber was discovered that the mill
tary storehouses were filled, and it was
possible TO turn back some of the tires
to private individuals.

of a reticent nature, it takes the com- bined efforts of his parents and sister to prevail upon him to take a sea voy- age in order to recuperate. On the steamer he encounters his best girl and her mother who are also on their way to Florida. Nothing will at first induce Bobby to disclose to Beatrice,
 (the girlD that he has four false teeth but his sister convinces him that it is the proper thing to do and he finally undertakes to face the ordeal. After considerable hemming and having he gets well under way with his disclos- ure when a clumsy deck-hand bumps into him with such force that the plate with the four false teeth is fore ed out of his mouth and cannot be found. Bobby retreats precipitately leaving Beatrice in doubt as to just what he meant when he stated that he had four of them. This, of course, leads to all kinds of ludicrous situa tions in which all the company parti- cipate. Numerous musical numbers are introduced during the action of the play. Don't miss Bobby"

The Duchess, grief-tricken over her husbands death, hears the 18th and 21st verses of the 18th Chapter of Mat thew read at the sermon. Affected and overcome by the text she staggers and falls, the chimes tolling the twelve strokes of noon. The gypsy's prophe- cy comes true, but a moment before her death, the past looms up in her terrified mind. She sees herself as Madge. a sneering, flirting, gypsy maid. Her husband, John, is at her side as they wind their way through the forest. His brutality covers her and she despises his very sight. Two game-wardens and Harold. the second son of the Duke of MaldOn. hear the shot as John fells a deer Madge and Harold meet. as John is apprehended; fascination seizes them both.

LONDON, Sept 1S.- Dispatches reaching London describe the opera tions which resulted in the capture by the entente allied forces of Florina, Macedonia.
 According to Reuters, Saloniki correspondent the Bulgarians in ex- tending their lines so far south in the region of Lake Ostrovo with limited forces, played bold but dangerous game. Success would have compro- missed the whole entente allied line but lack of success was bound to prove costly jeopardizing the whole Bulgarian right.
 The first wavering among the Bull garians, says the dispatch, was caused by the unexpected pressure of the French and Russians on their extreme flank. and the Serbians, profiting by this indecision, staked energetically on the twelfth and thirteenth. At first the Serbian infantry made little i'm pression on he well-entrenched Bull garians, but after strong bombatd- ment with high explosives the Serbi- ans carried line after line of trenches compelled the Bulgarians to abandon the whole of their advanced positions along the Matkanidze range.

great demand still existing among

mingled laughter and tears. Although
he held the boards at the Booth The
