Vigorous British counter attacks
towards NillerS- -BretonneuN appar-
emily resulted in the retaining OF
a considerable part OF the territory
lost to the Germans yesterday. The
battle still is raging, however, and
it is too early to make claims.
Tanks went into action on both
sides ior the first time in history.
In the battle about Nillcrs-Bretou-
neuN the German tanks appeared at
the beginning OF the engagement
and by noon the British tanks joined
in the fray. The latter did heavy
execution when they got among the
enemy infantry.
A British counter attack drove the
enemy from Acqucnne wood toward
Nillcrs- Bretonncuz, but the Ger
mans rushed a large number of ma
chine guns into the town and their
fire wa, so intense that the first
counter attack wa, held up.

London. May 2s.
Before departing for America, after
making a comprehensive study of condi-

statement regarding, food conditions:
Since landing in England, the mem
bers of the committee have visited
number of cities and interviewed a
large number of persons regarding the
food situation as We'll as other mat
ters arising from the war. and we
feel IL our duty to impress upon the
American people the fact that they
should endeavor to conserve food in
larger measure that we may sup
ply the people of the Allied countries
with the things necessary for their
subsistence.
There is no doubt that the people OF
Great Britain and of the Allied .coun-

PLAZA

When we went to see ''Les Miser- ables' at the Plaza last night, we weren't particularly interested in what the vaudeville programme might be, but before we left we were might fly glad we got there in time to see the vaudeville numbers for they were exceptional and treat
 The Klein Brothers whom most folks will remember from their triumphs of days gone by had a sing ing and talking skit that ran twenty minutes and there wasn't a second that the crowd was not schreeching with laughter.
 Fernandez and May who billed themselves as '"The Eccentric Musi- clans" were eccentric true enough and they played freak instruments by the score in a manner that brought them back for many encores.
 And Wilbur and Lyke were great, too. Theirs is mixture of trampo- line work, comedy and song and it's all splendid.
 The big drawing card was William Fox's ten reel Limitation of Victor Hugos masterpiece, Les Miserables'' which starred William Farnum as Jean Valjean.
 We've seen Farnum in many ad- mirable roles before but never as the Jean Valjean of Hugo's fancy and we think, without exaggeration, that it is the greatest dramatic character DOT trayal that has ever been registered by the camera. It is superb from the beginning to the end.
 Fox deserves unlimited credit for the production of this great classic | that has been translated into nearIy every language for he has spared neither expense nor energy in faith fully following the book version. The many scenes of splendor are all vivid ly produced and there's not a, screen accomplishment of past or present day that we could compare with il for demanding interest.
