RIFLE STILL POTENT WEAPON
Military Authorities Recognize Value

The Army and Navy Gazette of Lon
don, commenting on the great value Of
good rifle shooting in the present war,
says: Happily the military authorities
have not been misled by the results
achieved by the big guns, the bombs,
and the various missile-throwing
trench weapons into imagining that the
infantry soldier has ceased, or was
likely to cease, to be primarily rifle
man, and the good work which was ini-
tfated before the war at Hythe and at
Bisley, and at regimental rifle meet
tngs, has been continued and expanded
at the many musketry schools which
have been established behind the front
IN France, where selected officers and
men Of our forces have been taught all
that was to be got out Of the service

JOAN THE WOMAN" HERE
TWO DAYS next week

That the motion picture has opened
up an entirely new and unlimited
field for the presentation of great
historical events in the form of most
stirring dramas, is the opinion of
those who were acquainted with the
preparatory work on Joan the Wo-
man." in which Geraldine Farrar ap-
pears as the star and which was pro-
duced by Cecil B. DeMille. 1t will be
shown at the Majestic theatre on
Wednesday and Thursday, October
10 and II.
There is a vast difference between
motion picture productions, the stor-
les of which have modern or fairly
modern backgrounds, and a great
cinema story of the early 18th CEN
fury. Even before Miss Farrar went to
California three months ago to devote
her entire summer exclusively to a

made to abide by the best authorities,

CITY PRACTICALLY WIPED OUT
Tarnopol Has Twice Been Center Of
Fierce Fighting Between Russian
and German Forces.

Tarnopol, one of the pivotal points
evacuated by the Russians during their
recent retreat on the Galician front, is
the subject of the following war geo.
graphy bulletin issued by the National
Geographic society:
Before the Russians swept into
the town In the course of their first
offensive through Galicia in 1914, Tar
nopol had population of $4,000, the
Poles and Jews being about equally
divided. Today there is no means Of
determining it's size, but its corn mill
ing and brewing Industries have prac-
tically disappeared, and it no longer
carries on the thriving trade in honey,
agricultural products and in horses,
for which it was once famous.
"Tarnopol lies on the left bank of
the River Sereth, 80 miles inside the
Austrian boundary, on the railway line
from Odessa to Lemberg, the former
being 400 miles to the southeast and
the latter 81 miles by rail to the
northwest. The River Podhorce forms
the Russo-Austrian boundary east of
IarnOpOl, the Austrian station on the
right bank of the stream being Podow-
loczyska. The Russian village on the
left bank is WOloczyska.
mo one who values a salubrious
climate would ever select Tarnopol
as place Of abode, for the extremes
OF temperature are very severe. Like
all Galfcia, it is exposed to the north
ern and northeastern winds in winter,
but is cut off by the Carpathians from
warm, southerly winds. AS a re-
suit the winters are very trying; with
an abundance of snow; the springs
are very rainy, the summers short and
hot. Only the autumns show any
'steadiness' of weather. The mean
annual temperature is less than IL de-
grees above freezing"

GERMAN FACE" SLAIN IN FIGHT
Lieut.. Vosse Killed During Battle With
British Airman.

British Headquarters in France and
Belgium, Oct. 3.-The body of the ia
mOas German aviator, Lieutenant
Vosse, who was recently reported in a
German official communication as miss
ing, has been found within the British
lines, the British airmen have already
dropped messages behind the German
front giving notification Of his death.
Vosse was killed on September %.
while engaged in a spectacular combat
with British airman. He died fight
ing determinedly and magniicently.
It is peculiar coincidence that the
famous French airman, Captain Guy
nemer, lost his life about the same
time in battle over enemy territory
and was reported missing until the
Germans found and identified his body.
Vosse was killed by a famous British
aviator.

S. Simons Gees A-Lunchlno.

Simon SimOns, honorary president Of
the Economical Sports association,
looked at the clock again, drew in hts
belt still another notch, and decided he
really must 60 to lunch.
'T'm really quite hungry" he
thought. II believe I'll try sort Of
progressive luncheon-it will be quite
a lark. Let's see, I'll start at Oopen-
heimer's-their 10-cent bowl Of ivy
soup is the biggest in town." And he
walked five blocks to Oopenheimer's,
drank the soup and set out for Swish
fendish's, eight blocks away, where, he
knew, the scent sandwiches were
quite as big and as crowded as the
usual 10 centers.
After lingering over Siamese
cheese sandwich, he walked to Bickel
and Watson streets, to Pogenwoog's,
where he got an ice-cream cone for 8
cents, and by that time he was so
hungry from all the exercise, that, in
desperation, he strobe into a restau-
rant where placard read: "Full
course dinner, IS cents"
When he got back to the Office, two
hours later, he found that Twickenham
B. Woos had dropped in to buy $4,000
worth Of stock in the B. v. D. sand
paper mine, and dropped out again.

1900 TURKS ARE CAPTURED
Big British Victory Over Enemy in
Mesopotamia.

London, Oct. 3.-The kaiser's dream
Of an empire from the North sea to the
Persian gulf received another blow in
the announcement of the capture by
General Maude, with ROmadie, in Me-
sopotamia, of 1000 prisoners, in addi-
ton to number of guns and vast
quantities Of stores and ammunition.
The British forces are continuing
their advance, driving the Turks be-
fore them. The capture of Ramaide
was effected by outlanking the Turk
ish army, cutting off the garrison and
overpowering them by sheer force of
men and guns.
About 800 miles Of the Bagdad rail-
way in Mesopotamia between Basra on
the Persian gulf and point 60 miles
northwest Of Bagdad is now in posses
sion of General Maude's forces.
This rail line was part of the kaiser's
scheme to control trade from the North
sea to the gulf.

500 Coal.

Probably record price for coal
was recently paid by the captain of an
American cargo steamship returning
from Genoa to New York after deliv-
ering a war cargo at the Italian port.
At Genoa the Yankee skipper was COM
PEELED to pay $50 ton for coal enough
to carry him to Fayal, in the Azores.
At the island port he was able to
purchase coal at the comparatively rea-
sonable rate of $50 ton, and got 500
tons, enough to bring him to New York.
The extremely high price of coal now
adays is somewhat of an offset to the
big profits to be made in war freights,
