STRAND.

one ofsthc best acted and most en-
tertniainR plays OF the year was the
attraction at tho Strand theater yes
terdny when Ills Bonded wife"
starring Emmy Wehlcn, was shown.
That clever comedy drama was fully
appreciated was demonstrated by the
fact that the house was packed with
an enthusiastic and obviously de-
lighted audience.
The adventures OF Doris Morse. a
young New York society debutante
who wishes tu pose a. poor girl
to he sure that the man she marries
loves her and not her money are
many and varied. and some ~ the
instances are worth mentioning for
their originality.
Doris leaves home and goes TO a
hig summer resort where she enjoys
the simplc pleasures OF swimming
and boating taking In the delights
OF a day in an amusement park with
shoot the shoots, steeplcchdSing and
other allied sports She meets and
falls in love with a young architect
and tells him that She is shop girl
in that ci,y. He follows her TO town
and arrangCs to meet her after clos
ing hours In front OF the department
store in which she works Cumplica-
tions of all sorts begin TO arise on
account Of her innocent deception,
and she finds II harder and harder to
stick to her resolutions- particularly
Is she is beginning to long for eXpen-
! slye new clothes. How she Is led
through a maze OF extraordinary ad-
ventures Is Cieverly worked out in
/ the play, and Director Charles J. Bra
/ bin deserves word OF praise for his
/ good work
The play was written by Lois and
| Arthur Xeilner and adapted for the
screen by Jane Mathis and Katherine
| kavanaugh. The cast which sup
ports Miss Wehlen is clever one
and is headed by Creighton Hale who

BLAMES THE SOCIALISTS
 FOR HIS DOWNFALL

Little Rock, July 6.-Gov. Brough visited the penitentiary walls yester- day, and reports that he found condi- tions at the walls very satisfactory There are 45 prisoners now at the walls, ten of whom will be sent to the farms soon.
 The governor visited the death cell and talked with two white men under sentence of death. whose days of exc cution have already been fixed. One of the men, convicted of crime in connection with the draft in Polk county, said he got into his trouble by listening to radical socialists who are travelling about the country in- flaming the peoples minds as to the righteousness of Americas entrance into the war. He said several of these orators had represented to the peo- pie that it is a war of capitalists against the toiling masses of the world, and said that if he had not listened to this propaganda he would never have committed the heinous crime and would be free man today. He asked the governor to warn the people of the state against listening to speakers opposed to the war, and against reading incendiary literature calculated to cause a feeling of un- rest in the minds of the people.

!, s. AID CHANGES
 TIDE 0F BATTLE
Gen. Foch, No Longer Rigidly on Defensive, Harasses the Germans-May Soon Force the Issue.

Washington, July 5. - Increasing man power and rapidly extending control of the air have permitted the adoption of a new policy by General Foch, supreme commander of the al- lied armies on the western front, in the opinion of many observers here. They believe the sequence of hard To- cal blows that have been struck re- gently by French, American, British and Italian troops shows that a new phase of the great battle is develop ing which might expand into a major operation.
 Reports of the recently highly sue cessful strokes at the German lines aer taken here to indicate General Foch no longer feels under the urgent necessity of keeping rigidly on the defensive to conserve his forces. The fact that the Germans have been com pletely surprised and overwhelmed by several of the local counter operations is believed to be due to the work of the allied airmen.
 Amreican aid has already served to change the tide of the fighting. The arrival of American troops by the hundreds of thousands has en- abled General Foch to begin harass- ing the enemy all along the line, while the increasing number of American pilots makes possible concentrations of air forces that sweep enemy scouts out of the sky in the sectors selected for limited drives.
 The American attacks around Cha teau Thierry, the French operations on the Soissons front of the Con- peigne salient and the British opera tions on both sides of the Somme and in Flanders probably were prompted by the fact that the weak, ness of the enemy at those points had been revealed by the airplane obser- vations as a result of raids at other points.
 General Foch, ti is believed, is now in a position to force the issue and compel the Germans to assume the defensive.

ARMY TRANSPORT
 COV|hGT0N SU K
Was HOmeward Bound and Only Six Members of Crew Missing Was the Cincinnati, Former German Liner.

Washington, July 5.-The Ameri- can army transport Covington, home- ward bound after landing several thousand soldiers in France, was tor pedoed and sunk in the war zone last Monday night. Six members of the crew are missnig, but all the other men, with the ships officers have been landed at French port. No officers. soldiers or passengers were aboard.
 The Covington formerly was the Hamburg-American liner Cincinnati, which was laid up at Boston and taken over when the United States entered the war She was eos feet long, of 16,339 gross tonnage and had a speed of 15 1-2 knots an hour.
 The Covington is the second of the great German liners seized at the out break of the war to be sent down by Germany's sea wolves, and is the third American troop ship to be de- stroyed. All were homeward bound. The formeS Hamburg American liner President Lincoln was sunk last May 31, and the Antilles, formerly a Mor- gan liner, was sent down last October IT.
 The Navy Department announce ment tonight of the tOrpedoing of the Covington said none of the officers and men landed was seriously in- jured." Apparently some of them were hurt, but the number probably was not given in Vice Admiral Sims dispatch.
 The Covington was struck at 917 o'clock Monday night while proceed ing with fleet of other transports, conveyed by destroyers. The subma- rine was not sighted. The transport remained afioat until Tuesday, when efforts were made by another vessel and two tugs to tow her to port, but she was too badly damaged to keep afoat

BRITISH FRONT Is
 THE STORM CENTER
German Efforts to Retake Vil- lage of Hamel Are Repulsed- Italians Near Mouth of Piave Make Further Progress.

The British front east of Amiens, on each side of the Avre and along the Somme river, seems to be the storm center of the battle front in France. Here the Australians, assist ed by American attachments, surged forward yesterday and drove the Germans out of the village of Hamel and the Vaire and Hamel woods, to the south, at the same time launch ing a secondary attack on the Ger man positions north of the Somme. Since that time the lines before Ameins have been very active.
 The Germans have been repulsed in an attempt to retake the village of Hamel and the wooded positions of the Australians further south. The British official report says that the enemy was stopped easily, but the Germans claim to have checked the British forces east of Hamel and to have thrown them back to their original lines at Villers- s-BretonneuX. With the exception of aerial combats, the American front has been calm.
 The German official statement tells of British attacks in the Ypres re- zion, adding that these assaults were repulsed Heavy artillery fire in this neighborhood is reported from London.
 The French have been content to hold and consolidate their new posi- tions near Moulin-sousTouvent and Autreches, northwest of Soissons, where, in two recent French attacks, the Germans suffered severe casual ties and lost many prisoners. The French war office says that during the past day there has been heavy artillery firing in the neighborhoods of Cutry and Montgobert, which is on the front southwest of Soissons, where the French won ground by a dashlng attack last week.
 Italian forces operating near the mouth of the Piave have continued to make progress and have taken more than 400 prisoners, as we'll as battery of cannon and many machine guns. Tn the mountain region the Italians have extended their lines northwest of Monte Grappa and have repulsed desperate counter attacks by the Austrians against positions taken from the enemy in the Italian drives week ago.
 Stockholm reports that Finland is expected to declare war on the en- tente allies. This is probably the re- suit of German pressure incident to the landing of allied forces at Kola, on the Murman coast. It has been reoprted that German and Finnish troops are pushing northward toward the port of Kola to seize vast stores transported there before Russia's collapse as factor in the war
