 ATTACKS ON FRENCH
 Crown Prince Frederick William probably imbued with the idea that at sometime he will be able to pierce General Petains front along the south : ern part of the battle line in France, continues here and there to strike violently. His latest attempt has been in the forest of the Argonne, where three times he threw his troops against the Frenchmen. AS on the Chemin Danes and before Yer dun. where similar assaults recently have been made. the efforts of the Germans were fruitless and brought to them only additional heavy casual ties.
 Comparative quiet prevails on all the other battle fronts. although there has been resumption by the Russians of their activities in the Caucasus. There at several points Ottoman forces have been defeated.

"Belieye Me. Xantinneo

A Harvard prize play with the title. Relieve Me. xantippe,' would be ex- pected to have the flavor of the clas- sics, although Believe Me" would suggest at least a modern setting There is nothing that smacks of an- cient Greece or of Harvard in the mel odramatic farce presented at the Jef- ferson theatre last night for the open ing performance of an engagement which will include matinee this aft ernoon and performance tonight.
 It is a ''crook" play treated in Q new way. and while 1t taxes the cred ulity of an audience. even as farce comedy, the lines and situations are amusing. The company. with the ex- ception of Richard Buhler of Ben Hur" fame. was for the most part in- capable of bringing out the plays fine points-that Is. of drawing the distinc- tion at all times between burlesque and melodrama of the sort that has been relegated to the movies.
 Briefly, the plot hinges on a bet made by wealthy young New Yorker
  knows what to do with He wagers a friend and detective. presumably Of some note, the sum of $30.000 that he can commit a crime and evade arrest for 12 months George Mcfarland forges his friends name to check, collects the money, a paltry s100. and dramatically disappears in the dark ness that follows flashlight picture taken of him by the detective.
 The second act discloses the wander ing hero in a hunting shack in west ern Colorado, where a straight shoot ing sheriff's daughter captures hi,n and proceeds to fall in love with him according to the best traditions of melodrama. as played in years gone by at the Bijou. A real Dad man. ap- pears on the scene-in the hunting shack. to be exact-and the hero proves himself to be a chivalrous fel- low by helping the heroine to capture the desperado. one "Simp" Galloway badly wanted by the authorities.
 While 1t would be unfair to tell the later developments of the plot, il may be said that Mcfarland and his supposed accomplice were transferred to the county jail, where more hu- morous incidents are recorded and aft CT few tense moments of uncertain- ty Mcfarland wins the bet-and the girl.
 "Believe Me. xantippe" has origi- nality to commend it and much gen uine comedy. based on the sort of i'm probabilities which are permissible ir farce, but are never encountered any where else.
 The engagement ends with the per formance tonight.
