Grand Coup By Crown Prince
Was AUered By OfenSiDe
Of the French At Verdun

French Front, October 30.-(Cor-
respondence Of the Associated Press)
One OF the disappointments which
the German crown prince has suffer-
ed since the utter defeat of his great
efforts to capture Verdun has just
been brought to light in documents
found on German prisoners. From
these it appears that while the
French were infiicting their smash
ing blow on the German troops still
menacing Verdun on August 20 last
when the crown prince not only
lost some valuable ground but about
5000 OF his selected men were taken
prisoners-the Germans were care
fully preparing an attack on grand
scale from q point about q mile to
the east of Auberive to the Souain
height. French activity in front of
the fortress Of Verdun upset these
plans completely and caused the
crown prince to put off for an in
definite period any attempt to carry
out an offensive movement in this
region.
Details of the projected attack, as
q result of which the German com
mander had hoped TO gain possession
| OF an important tract OF territory or
the Champagne front, show that the
chief part in the operation was t.
be played by the First Bavariar
division, which was brought up Il

ed orders to prepare to furnish
twelve sections of chosen shock
troops, each section composed of one
officer and forty seven men. Behind
these shock troops were to follow
twelve booty squads and twelve
destruction squads" each compos-
ed of a temporary acting officer and
thirty-tWo men.
The confidence OF the crown prince
in the success of the intended blow
at the French was so great that he
had ordered twelve teams of six
horses each to be ready to gallop of
with the captured French cannon,
while an officer and fifty men Of the
engineer corps were to stand by pre-
pared to destroy gun positions and
guns that could not be carried off.
It had been arranged that an ex-
tremely dense cloud Of. gas should
be emitted over the French infantry
and artillery positions during fifteen
minutes before the shock units ad-
vanced to the attack. Batteries OF
field guns were to be stationed in
immediate support Of the shock
troops. Airplanes were to fly low
and participate in the infantry work
The whole operation was, according
to arrangement, to result in what
was called in the German orders, "a
summer harvest" It was fixed (

further east in the vicinity Of Verdun
started q movement on their own
account, for on that date they open
ed their artillery preparation for
their intended attack on August 20
The menace to the Germans holding
the lines before Verdun became so
great that the crown prince was OBJ
liged to send the two divisions which
had been ordered to support the
Bavarians in the attack in Cham
payne to the help Of the troops at
Verdun and to fill their places by two
other divisions which had just SUI
fered terrific losses in a Flanders en-
gagement and which were in con-
sequence not in the best condition
for severe fighting. At the same
time even the elements were con-
trary to the Germans.
Later orders show that the German
commander was obliged first to put
the attack off till September 1. Be
fore that date arrived he had eYid-
ence in the shape of French artil-
lery activity and infantry raids in
the Champagne sector that sur
prise was out of the question. Fin
ally the French fire became so severe
that on September 10 the crown
prince decided to give up the IDEA
Of an offensive in this section and
began to withdraw to the rear his
guns, troops and other material
which had been intended to help IN
the reaping of an abundant harvest
OF prisoners and the gain of 4 con-
siderable strip of territory.
Once more the French had been
able to impose their will on the en-
envy and to make him fight just
where and when they wanted him to
DO so.

Avery Hopwood's latest farce, Fair
and Warmer, comes to the Orpheum
on Tuesday evening, Nov. q. 1t will
be presented by Selwyn g. Co.
The amusing story Of Fair and
Warmer, begins with a scene Of
family disagreements which progress
even to the plans for divorce before
it concludes. Laura Bartlett COM
plains that Billy her husband, is too
good for mortal woman-too faith
full, too prosaic, too utterly unromap-
tic. In a word, she will have none
OF him, and she is going that very
night to the opera with an old
admirer and leave Billy to the peace
and quiet of his home. Just as she
is leaving, Jack and Blanny Wheeler
enter, and it transpires that Jack is
going out, leaving Blanny to the
peace and quiet Of the Bartlett
home.
Through some indiscreet admis-
sions, neatly dovetailed, the angelic
Blanny Wheeler and the innocent
Billy Bartlett, discover that they are
both being outrageously treated by
their giddy marriage partners, and
instantly they are left alone, they
plan a revenge.
Inasmuch as their knowledge Of
misdemeanors is purely theoretical,
they decide on compromising" each
other by sitting together till 2 or 3
o'clock in the morning, when their
spouses will return and, seeing what
q bad example they have set, shall
promptly reform.
But Blanny and Billy find 1t easier
to plan to sit up all night than it is
to do. for they both get sleepier
and sleeper, and nobody shows the
slightest sign of coming home. Then
Blanny remembers dimly that Jack
has once told her that a cocktail or
two kept late party going, so she
suggests to Billy that they make one
and try it.

1t is in the field of jiu-jitsu, how
ever, that the actor is at home.
This Jiu-jitsu that you see on the
stage of America" he says, that
is merely the rough training which
precedes jiu-jitsu. 1t is difficult for
me to explain the real thing, | dare
not even il ! had the words. 1t is a
sworn secret Of the Sumarai class in
Japan. After you have studied six
years, one secret is impaired to you.
Three years more and another secret
and so on. With my knowledge OF
| jiu- jitsu, / could kill you by press
ing my thumb quickly against a
certain nerve center in your body
that you know nothing about. could
press my finger against another
part of your body and you would
never be able to speak again.
But this is only the crude part.
What comes after that is more diff
cult to explain. Perhaps you can get
something more from this hint:
| Sometimes you are walking down a
dark street at night and see a form
lurking in the shadow; or you go
into your dark garage and you hear
a strange noise and you shake with
fear. The next time you find your
| self in such a condition just contract
abdomen; hold in those muscles
until they are hard. Then / defy you
| to be afraid of anything. Try it and
see. But of course, that again, be-
longs to the crudities of jiu-jitsu.
If you were to try and kill an old
Samurai who had really studied jiu-
| jitsu you would find out what /
mean. You might point your revolver
at him but you could not fire. He
would tell you to put the gun down
! and something would make you put
it down. .
