With the British Armies in France
April 13 tvia London, 1920 p. m
From a Staff Correspondent of the
Associated Pressl From the Vimy
ridge late today fires could be seen
burning in the German lines and Ca
madam patrols had advanced beyond
the outskirts of Givenchy
An exploration of Vimy ridge
shows that the British artillery vir-
tually blew off the top of it and the
German stronghold which had resist
ed all efforts of the French and Brit
ish during more than two years of
war finally was forced into such a
position by high explosives that it
could not resist infantry charges.
Walking ON top of the ridge was
virtually impossible as 1t is Just one
continuous climb from one she'll
crater to another. Two surmounting
knobs, known only on military maps
as numbered hills, had attracted the
fire of the heaviest British guns and
had been shattered into unrecogniz-
able buttes on the landscape.
Key TO Coal and Iron.
1t is little wonder that the Germans
made such desperate efforts to hold
the Vimy ridge and to retake certain
portions of it by counter attacks,
which failed miserably. The ridge
stood as a natural barrier between the
Germans and their opponents and was
great protective chain of hills
shielding invaluable coal. iron and
other mineral lands that Germany had
wrested from France in the first on
rush of the war in 1914. The city of
Lens, now within sight of the British
lines is a great mining center
1t is generally believed that in yield
ing the mines, which have been of
such help to the invaders, the Ger
mans undoubtedly will try to wreck
them by every means But even If
France does not regain the immediate
use of the mines, the shutting off of
Germany from their precious products
will mean an important step toward
the ultimate allied victory
Now the Top Dog.
From the top of Vimy ridge the
British now look down on the plain
of Douai and toward the great indus
trial sections of France, which so long
have been in enemy hands.
I'VE are the top dogs at last" a
Canadian officer said to the Associat-
ed Press correspondent today. I'VE

pregnable to assaults. German ex-
perts have been even firmer in their
faith in Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg's Eighth Wonder of the World"
than they were a few months ago that
Vimy ridge was unconquerable. The
German belief in the Won Hindenburg
Buddha has even served to hypnotic
part of the British public.
A number of European military
writer's have taken the view that the
Hindenburg line was a myth painted
to hearten the German people. But
the British general staff have known
for some time that there is a definite
Hindenburg line upon which the Ger
man staff was basng its defense and
has known exactly where that line
was drawn.
If the British can break through a
vital or important sector the next
chapter may be further extensive

mans are able to retrcat in order with

TIMELY FILM ADDED - ID 0RPHEUM PROGRAM
"Our Fighting Forces" Is Ad- ded Feature At The Orph-
 cum Theatre This Evening.

The theme of "The Painted Lie" which plays at the Orpheum tonight and Sunday, was suggested to Crane Wilbur by the pathetic story told by a girl who came to the studio seeking work. She admitted she was the daughter of a well-to-do family we'll known in the east She was study ing to be an artist and because of her beauty often posed in different studios.
 One of the members Of the artist colony, a sculptor, had asked her 8 number of times to pose for him for a statue but she did not care to pose in the nude. He was angered by her refusal and told her that either she would. pose for him as he desired or he would ruin her career as an artist. When she still refused he turned bust of her which he had been mod cling into a full length nude figurd and invited all the members of the artist colony, her family and her friends, to his exhibition and at that time did all he could to ruin the rep utation of the young girl in the eyes of her friends.
 Feeling the stigma attached to her name this girl went west and sought work in the pictures. MT. Wilbur not only engaged the girl, and she appears in one of the small parts of this production, but he utilized her story as the basic theme of his pho todrama, "The Painted Lie"
 In addition the Orpheum, this even ing and Sunday will show a recent Pathe release entitled Our Fighting Forces" This film depicts various phases of the United States army ser vice and is interesting and instruc- tive throughout.

BIG DOUBLE BILL . INCLUDING CHAPLIN
 AT THE STAR TODAY

The inimitable Charlie Chaplin in ern picture, "The Valley of Lost Hope" are the films that make up the big double attraction to be shown today at the Star theatre. Chaplin in his craziest manner in Love Pangs," and admirers of this clever movie comedian should be able to laugh themselves into mysteries at the Star today.
 "The Valley of Lost Hope" is just as exciting and picturesque a film as it's name would indicate. There are many thrilling scenes. In one a con- plete train was wrecked in front of the camera to get the desired real istic effect, and in another a huge mountain is blown up. There are many others almost equally as spec tacular scenes. The plot is not too complicated and not too melo-drama- tic, but carries just enough pathos, humor and thrills to make it one that should appeal to every movie fan. Western pictures have, in some in stances, been overdone, but the Wal ley of Lost Hope" is a film in which the western characters are handled in just little bit better manner and the western scenes just little more realistic than in most pictures DOT traying the land west of the Missis- sippi.
