Let US consider the line our soldiers are
now maintaining between Columbus, NJ
NJ, and the present front. When I left,
few days ago. this was a distance Of
S60 miles into Old Mexico, round trip
Of 40 miles necessary for every load Of
~Iirplies carried IN. The Packard trucks,
capable Of ten miles an hour even IN that
trhckless desert, make the round trip in
Aeventy~two hours Of actual travel
Army regulations call for seventeen
miles per day as the maximum travel for
mules. This would mean more than forty
two days for the trip At this rate
six-mule team cannot haul sufficient load
10 keep 1t alive for the Journey, not 10
speak OF carrying any supplies for the
fighting men. Each mule Is fed three
quarts Of oats three times each day,
which means for six mules nearly two
bushels per day. In the desert going.
elKty-nine bushels Of oats would make o
capacity load. But in tho forty-two days
hA
nearly seventy-one bushels.
And the above figures do not take into
account the food and water for the
driver and his guards and the water
which must BIO carried In some parts of
the country for the animals. The trucks
on the other hand, handle an almost co.
pacity load Of supplies for the men in
The field besides the rations for drivers
md guards and q supply OF gasoline and

IRWIN'S BIG SHOW
 NEXT AT GRAND

Fred IrWin's Big Show, which will be the attraction at the Grand thea ter all next week with daily matinee, is constructed to meet every demand of modern burlesQue. Few shows in this branch of entertainm ent repre- sent so large outlay of money. There is som ething unique and dis tinctive about the costumes of the principals and chorus and there is distinction to the stage settings and effects, too. The cast is composed of celebrities, while the girls of the chorus not only represent an unusual ly high beauty standard but also dis play a remarkable efficiency in their vocal and dancing efforts. The book, which was written by Paul Cunning ham is entitled, "A Prince of Good Fellows" The musical program has an air of originality about it and the numbers are many and varied. Songs of Yesterday" which forms the final of the first act, never fails to win high praise from critics. ''rhe Sport ing Widows is the Grand's attraction this afternoon and evening. Harry Cooper is the principal comedian. Ruth Lockwood is the prima donna.

TREAT COMING FOR
 LYCEUM PATRONS

Alma, Where Do You Live?,' the bill selected by the Lyceum Musical Comedy company for next week, is considered by all regular theater pa irons to be one of the funniest yet produced. This will be the first tim e the play has been produced in New Britain, although it has had long runs in other cities, notably New York
 "Alma', while famous for it's lines and plot, would never have been the success it proved to be unless the mu- sic was far above the average. Nu- merous song hits are included in the score and for mirth and melody the performance ranks among the best.
 The Lyceum company is capable of handling this delightful comedy and should score even a greater success than it has done this week in "The Time, the Place and the Girl" The last performance of this latter pro- duction will be given this evening.

CHAPLIN FILM ON
 TONIGHTS PROGRAM

Tonight will mark the final showing of "Behind the Screen" the big Chaplin comedy which has been headlined on the photoplay bill all week. It will also signify the tremin- ation of the local engagements of the several entertainers who have been appearing at the theater during the past few days.
 Prominent among the performers for more reasons than his stature is Chief Bull Bear of the Sioux tribe, who with other Indians from the South Dakota reservations is now touring the country. Bull Bear is a grandson of Red Cloud. chief of the Sioux tribe. He is well educated and during his act gives an interesting talk on the redskin. His associates do some clever rope spinning.
 The Four Youngs offer a pleasing musical program, playing a variety of instruments.
 The management has arranged an excellent program of photoplays for tonight. The list will include a new episode in the Vitagraph serial, "The Scarlet Runner" in which Earle Will Hams is figuring prominently.
