Good Start Of Century Course

1t would be hard to pick a combina-
tion of any three persons capable OF
presenting more varied and popu ar
program than the Parmenter Players,
who appeared in the Middlebury town
hail Wednesday evening, commencing
course Of four entertainments man
aged by the Eastern Lyceum Bureau
and given under the auspic of the
Century department of the Woman
Club.
Lewis +, Parmenter impersonator,
Ruth Gallagher, pianist and Laura
Ormsbee Goodridge, vocalist and violin
ist, appeared singIy and together and
in every number were applauded hearth
~ by an audience which well filled the
hall. Parmenter gave reading from
Winston Churchills "The Cricis'
which was a character sketch of Abra-
ham Lincoln, and he was good both in
this and monologue, "Pro and Con f.,
depicting the conceted bachelor lawyer
who while debating with himself over
the idea of marriage loses his girl to a
less hesitant sutton. Miss Gallagher
opened the program with piano select
ions and received her warmest recogni-
tion in a concert etude Miss Goodrdge
sang some sweet English songs, and in
her violin selections was splendid, The
finale was Grumpy, a sentimental
comedy by Parmenter, suggested by
Cyril Mande's great play of the same
name. In this he appeared as retired
criminal lawyer, somewhere around 10,
surrounded by his grand daughter, Miss
Gallagher and an adopted daughter, Miss
Goodridge who were rivals for his af-
fections Proving his old time clever
ness in criminal detection he finds which
of the two is true blue.
The whole entertainment augurs well
for the balance Of the course, which in
cludes Grace Bonner Williams, concert
singer, on November IA, Morris G. Hin
dns lecturer, on January II, and the
Bradford Players February 5.

Righteous Indignation on the part of

Much has been said about doing our
bit. Don't think that bit will suffice
in this matter of the Second Liberty
Loan. If we can scrape together $500
or $1,000 and subscribe only for $50 or
a 500 bond, we are as unpatriotic as
our neighbors who will not subscribe at
all. In this matter we must do our ut
most, every one according to his means,
in order that Sl45, 900 may be subscribed
about Middlebury before October o.
The loan is the best of investments, but
it should mean sacrifice as,well to every
one investing. Lets subscribe on the
theory that perhaps we have little
more to put in the loan than the other
fellow, and so must make our subscrip-
tons larger to make up for what he
cannot subscribe. Though everyone
should subscribe at least $50, some
should subscribe $4,000. Let US be
proud this time of Middlebury's show
ing. We appeal to everyone TO sub
scribe according as he has been blessed

Franklin Sedan Shows
Many Exclusive Feature.

Something new in the line of enclosed
cares made its appearance in town this
week in the form of the latest Franklin
Sedan, now on dispulay at the Franklin
Agency, 107 Market street.
OF the new features, the body with its
V-front, constructed with two built-in
windshields of the adjustable type, is
the most striking. When one is seated
in the car, 1t is easily understood how
this design, by eliminating two side
V-front also reduces wind resistance
and makes possible efficient ventila-
tion of the passenger compartment. The
combination of the V-front with the
new lines of the Franklin hood makes
the appearance of the car attractive and
A good example of Rothchild panel
construction, a recent development in
body building, is seen in this Sedan.
Its elimination. of all joint holdings
makes possible the much-sought
smooth, unbroken exterior.
One of the first things a person no.
tices when entering the car is the ease
with which any seat in the passenger
compartment can be reached from
either side. The fact that the front
pullman seats can be tilted forward
out of the way does away with all fric-
ton and crowding.
That this car should weigh only 2,615
pounds is something unusual, as auto
mobile engineers generally consider
$500 pounds the minimum for enclosed
cars. The light weight of the Frank
lin Sedan can be considered real de-
velopment in automobile construction
inasmuch as it .appreciably increases
the usefulness of enclosed cars. Prob
ably nothing win lend more to the
adoption of enclosed cars for general
greater range of travel which light
weight opens uD.

FIERCE BATTLING
TURNS in FAVOR
OF FRENCH ARMY
Germans Lose in Desperate
Attempt to Get Back
Lost Trenches
BY ASSocintcd PrcsS

The Champagne region in France
continues the scene of desperate fight
ing, which Paris reports has resulted
in new French successes.
Last night the Germans made an at
tempt to regain the ground they had
lost in the recent French attack on
the salient near Maisons de Cham
payne created by a successful German
operation last month. The Germans
in this new effort made several des-
perate charges and the tide of battle
flowed back and forth for some time.
Finally, however, the French arms
prevailed, according to Paris. and not
only was the ground originally gained
held by General Nivelle's forces but
fresh progress was made.
Raiders Are Active
Other activities on the Franco-BeI-
gian front were confined for the most
part to raiding operations, except that
northeast of Verdun the Germans are
reported by Paris to have unsuccess-
fully attacked the trenches lately re-
captured by the French north of
Caurieres wood.
Operations in the Rumanian prov
ince of Dobrudja are mentioned in the
official reports for the first time in
many weeks. A statement from Berlin
indicates that the Russians are still
clmging to some ground near the
northern boundary of the province. 1t
reports German air raid on Russian
establishments near the Sulina, an es-
tuary of the Danube in northern Dob
rud1a, numerous bombs having been
dropped successfully.
