Mile production for Aircraft will be
shown at the Irene theater next Sun
day. The picture is based upon the
novel of the anne name by Perley
Poore Sheehan, recently published
serially in a leading magazine. The
scenario was prepared by jeanne Mac
pherson, a brilliant writer who achiev-
ed fame as the scenarioist of Joan,
the Woman" The Woman God For
got" "A Little American" and other
famous cinema successes.
The theme of the picture is one of
self-sacrifice and it contains all the
elements that appeal successfully to
the human emotions. The story is
that of a man, burdened by debt. who
steals money from the corporation
with which he is employed. To es-
cape arrest he drops out of sight to
lead the life of a hermit fisherman,
leaving his wife and mother in ignOr-
arce of his whereabouts. He ex-
changes clothing with a body which
he fishes out of the river and the po-
lice are not only convinced that
Trimble is dead. but that he was muir
dered.
Assuming a false name he becomes
a stevedore and is hunted by the po-
lice as the man who slew himself. He
returns home c~landestinely to see his
mother and is arrested for his own
murder. His wife, who had married
again in the belief that she was a
widow, zee him after his conviction
and rather than destroy her happiness.
he c%Onvinces her that they had never
met before and goes to his doom smil-
ingly. The story is replete with dram
attic situations that thrill.

She Thinks Coffee for Soldiers

The following extracts are taken
from a letter written by a Red Cross
Canteen worker, Helen McElhone, an
American woman and college graduate
now located in a district almost con-
stantly under bombardment:

"Things look very black to me. 1
am discouraged at the big outlook Of

see those who have been at the

accordian. Following Professor Orth's
music, John Heer of Aberdeen took
the platform to cry the sales. The
Red Cross cake was sold for $3.50 and
turned back to be resold at the close
OF the sales and brought a second sum
o. S15, making it's final total S20.5O.
The least paid for any of the cakes
was 81, and three out of the nineteen
we're %redonated and brought a very
liberal sum when resold. The pur
chasers of the cakes are as follows:
Gilbert Mosby. A. B. Nelson, Bert
Roos, Miss Kathryn L. Nelson, Charles
Hedrick. Mrs. Ben Fritz, Ramon Men
Frank Ovatt, Scott Daniels, John
Halves, W. Robins. Fred Heer. G. B.
Green, A. T. Turner, H. S. Roos, Frank
Benson and Preston Lewis.
The total sum received from the
sales Of the cakes was $1O2. 25, and fol
lowing the sales the hat was passed
that those who had not bought cakes
might have an opportunity to help the
good cause along. Donations to the
amount of s21 were received in this
process and the sum of S123.25 was
rcaped in the days efforts. At this
time Professor Orth rendered the Star
%Spangled Banner on his a%ccordian, and
a feast followed, after which the crowd
departed. The fruit and coffee served
by Camp Cook Libby, aided much in
the enjoyment of the cake feast in
which everybody participated. Every
body concerned rests assured that the
boys at the front will very gratefully
appreciate their favors and will surely
extend most hearty thanks therefore.

GERMANS Baked IN FLANDERS
Another Determined Attempt to Break
Through Is Frustrated.

Heavy fighting, although on a com
paratively narrow front, continues in
Flanders, where the Germans yester-
day began another attempt to drive a
wedge into the entente lines, and out
flank hill positions southwest of
Ypres.
This attempt failed and only tenn
porary success was secured. Not
w~ithstanding heavy losses the Ger
mans have been reluctant to abandon
The effort, and this morning found
them renewing the attack north of
KENNEL. Heavy machine gun fire
forced the British line back at one
point. but the recession was slight and
the ground gained remained disputed
territory.
After their first successes the Ger
mans were unable to gain further, de
gpite repeated smashes. Bitter strug-
giles took place about Kleine, Vierstrat
and Cabaret, west of Vierstrat. and in
The ridgewood, but the British chung
desperately to the positions. The
British organized a counter attack dur
ing the night, which was so vigorous
the Germans were unable to withstand
it and gradually fell back until they
abandoned all the ground gained.
Fighting is still in progress this
morning near Vierstraet, on the front
southwest of Ypres. At one time the
british were forced back slightly. All
other original defenses, however. ap-
peared to be again in the hands of
the defenders of the fVoormezeele-
Laclytte sector.

SCARLET CROSS
BY
Margaret Widdemer
OF the Vigilantes.

What is It that you do today, who lift the Scarlet Cross?
For all the wthered world is down in ruin and in loss,
And al. the world hears clashing sword, and hears no sound less plain
What can you do who lift the Cross, but heal to fight again?
We guard the women left alone, heartbroken for their dead.
We save the children wandering where all save Fear has fed.
We raise again the broken towns swept down by shot and shell,
We heal again the broken souls hopeless from learning Hell
Oh, they who saw but Grief and Hate see now our red sign plain
We save the sad worlds soul alive that War had nearly slain

SUBS. SANK SUGAR SHIPS.
U-Boat Raiders Have Put Americans on
Short Rations of Sugar.

The present shortage of sugar is due
to several causes The U-boats have
sent $4,000 tons to the bottom Of the
Atlantic. Ships which have been carry
ing sugar have been diverted to other
and more important uses and much acre
age devoted to beet sugar culture has
been inclosed in battle areas. These
things have combined to cause strin
gent shortage OF sugar and made it alb
solutely necessary for the allies TO con
centrate upon methods to reduce the use
of sugar to the lowest possible point I'M
til the new sugar crop is ready for the
market.
Americans have been lavish users OF
sugar and sweet stuffs. The Yankee
sweet tooth has consumed candy enough
In year to supply the sugar rations Of
England for one year or France for
year and Italy for two years. The mon
ey spent in the United States for candy
for one year is double the amount re-
quired to feed Belgium for year.
This inordinate taste for sweets is an
acquired taste and according to excellent
medical authorities, is largely in excess
of the requirements of well balanced diet.
In limiting the use of sugar the United
States food administration does not de-
priye anyone of the needful quantity Of
sweetened foods II does ask that the
ration Of two pounds of sugar per month
for each person be rigidly adhered 10;
that dates, raisins, figs and fruits be used
in sweetening buildings; that honey,
syrups, maple sugar and molasses be
used in cakes, cookies and desserts; that
fruit and nut CONNECTIONS be used in
place of candy containing much sugar
and that waste of sugar be avoided.
Waste means leaving sugar dregs in cof
fee and tea cups and in cereal bowls.
Pieces of cake or cookies or sweetened
desserts thrown into the garbage can,
home made fudge and candy that is
burnt and thrown away--these are com
mon ways of wasting sugar.
A cheerful and ready compliance with
the rules of the Vermont food admins
tration is duty demanded of every 10y
al and patriotic person in the Green
Mountain state.

WHY FRANCIS
LEFT VOLOGDA
Refused to Comply with the
Bolsheviki Demands That
He Move to Moscow
NO DESIRE TO MOVE
UNLESS FORCED TO
News Explains Why Wash
ington Has Had So Little
from Ambassador

Vologda, Russia, Thursday, July %
(By the Associated Press The reason
for Ambassador Francis and other allied
diplomats leaving Vologda for Archangel
to-day was their refusal to comply with
insistent demands of the bolshevik for
eign Office that they move to Moscow.
The bolsheviki said they wanted the
diplomats to move because they believed
.Vologda soon would be the center of
counter-revolutionary fighting.
M. Tchitcherin, the foreign minister,
telegraphed several times to Ambassador
Francis, warning him that Vologda was
not a safe place for the embassy. He
also sent Carl Radek, assistant foreign
minister, to Vologda for conference
with the diplomats.
Ambassador Francis and his colleagues
expressed full confidence in the people of
Vologda and declined to go to Moscow
The Soviet government then refused to
provide an engine for special train to
~ w lNbiNbANlAi
that Archangel was not fit place for
the ambassadors in case of siege, but he
was willing to grant the use of an engine
only on condition that the allied embas-
sizes leave Russia as soon as a ship could
be provided for them. The allied diplo-
mats accepted thQ condition and started
day for Archangel
In final message to the Russian for
eign minister, Ambassador Francis de-
clared he had no desire to leave Russia
unless forced to do so and in any event
his absence would be only temporary
The consuls of the allied countries, he
said, would remain in Russia Tchitcher-
in said that the departure of the ambas-
sailors would not in the slightest alter
the relations of Soviet Russia with the
aIiied countries and assured the acting
American consul general, Mr.. Poole, that
there was no reason why the consuls and
citizens of the allied nations should not
remain in Russia. He secuted the idea
that the departure of the ambassadors
was the forerunner of rupture between
the Soviets and the allies.
