UNITED STATES TROOPS IN
EUROPE.

Carrying out its policy OF silence re-
garding the departure of American forces
from the United States to England and
France, the government at Washington
said nothing about the embarkatiOn of
part of the regular army for Europe; but
the information about the embarkation
was more or less common knowledge in
newspaper Offices at least and, despite
the itching to tell the news, the informa
tion was suppressed in Difference to the
governments wish and to the dictates of
patriotism. With the safe arrival of not
only one of those contingents, but sec
ond as well, together with the fact that
those men will soon be at the front and
their presence thus be known to the en-
envy, it became no longer necessary to
withhold a general dissemination Of the
news. II is now an open secret. The
United States flag. borne BY the REGULAR
army Of the United States, is officially on
French soil. where the mighty conflict
has been waged Tor three years without
decisive result. where decent internation-

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
The Co. c BENEFIT.

To the Editor OF The Times: More
than week has passed since the public
was asked to help the Company c fund
by buying tickets for The Girl from
Broadway Two performances Of this
show were given. with good crowds on
each night. and in addition TO receipts
from this source am led to believe that
many people bought advance sale tickets
which were never redeemed AZ the opera
house. These bought tickets not from
desire to see the show. but because they
wanted to help the bows who were going
70 the front and fight the battles Of
those who stayed az home.
Several days have passed, and thus far

Since the arrival of the American sol
diers in France, the French people have
cheered up nightly, only they were not
by any means downcast before that time
They were holding on like grim death
itself and were moderately confident of
victory; now they are encouraged i'm
measurably by the arrival of the first
forces of the great ally. The British,
too, are feeling no slight citation over
the significance of the arrival of these
first contingents 1t means not light
ening of the burden but the addition OF
the punch necessary to drive the German
armies back over their own border event

We suppose that Gov. Graham can
vassed the field for an appointment as
secretary of state long before the present
encumbent of the office announced public
ly his intention to retire; and we pre-
sumo that the executive already has
made up his mind whom to select. We
can only hope, therefore, that it is a
real strong man and not man for
makeshift.

The work which will devolve upon the
military exemption boards of the various
counties will be arduous and perplexing;
and, in consequence, the boards should be
given all the cordial cooperation that it
is possible to give them during their
period of service. There is, we believe,
entire satisfaction with the selection
made for Washington county, Messrs.
George n. Tilden, chairman, Lewis c..
Moody, clerk, and John II. Woodruff,
medical examiner all having high re-
gard for the seriousness of their obliga
ton. We bespeak for them the utmost
cooperation in order that the most sat
isfaetory operation of the federal law can
be made possible in this county.

DAMAGED GOODS"
MONDAYS FEATURE

Manager Oastler of the American
theatre has secured for immediate
presentation, through a contract with
the Mutual Film Corporation, the new
edition of Damaged Goods" pro-
duced by the American Film Com
pany. This is Richard Benefits
worlds record screen success which
has been revised by Mr.. Bennett into
a new and additionally appealing
form.
The new edition of Damaged
Goods" has been seen by many of the
foremost critics of the United States,
the verdict being that the play has
been improved both as a spectacle
and as a lesson. by the changes that
Mr.. Bennett has made in it,
No drama in the history of the
photoplay has been so widely adver-
tised, and certainly none has been
more generally approved than Dam
aged Goods" which, while it deals
with the sins of society in a frank
and startling way, has been indorsed
by all classes of men and women
throughout the country.
Damaged Goods" scored the most
sensational of successes in its origi-
nal production. which took place early
in 1915. During the run that ensued.
up to September. 1916, when the play
was withdrawn for reconstruction by
Mr.. Bennett, it created a furore of
approval extending from one end of
the country to the other. In the pc
riod covered by the original release
more than 100000 admissions were
sold and more than s1.000,000 was
realized on the production.
The famous story by Eugene Bri-
eux, Damaged Goods" has to do
with the wrecking of hundreds of
thousands of lives through social er-
ror. Many declared Mr.. Bennett an
iconoclast when he began his cam
paign in New York for dramatization
of the famous Frenchman's work for
the American stage, but the brilliant
young actor fought his way into the
councils of the New York theatrical
magnates and ultimately his will pre-
vailed with them.
The result was immediate and as
founding. From all elements of soci-
ETY. encomiums were showered on Mr.
Bennett for his valuable work in the
interest of society. and when the
drama was offered in photoplay form
1t scored an instant triumph.
Damaged Goods" has been indorsed
as a great moral lesson by hundreds
of medical associations. religious or
ganizations, commercial bodies and
sociological societies throughout the
United States. There is no doubt that
it conveys the most powerful sermon
to humanity preached in this century
AS a drama it is beyond criticism
the play having been subjected &c
scrutiny by all the foremost authori-
ties of the country. who have enthusi'
astically approved it.
