MILTERN ARRIVES
AFTER long YEARS
New Britain Actor Has Played ALI
Over the World

Under the caption Of "AIiltern of
the Melodramas', the New York
Times pays tribute to John Z. Shee-
han of this city, who is knnown on
the stage as John Miltern. From
lowIy beginning. Miltern, fired by the
ambition to win fame before the
footlights, has climbed the tedious
ladder until he has attained the
pinnacle to which all thhe folk of
stage aspire.
The New York Times article fol-
lows:
In John Miltern "Roads of Destiny
is bringing again into the dramatic
foreground an actor who has written
his name on various pages of Ameri-
can theatrical history. He is a grad
uate of the ten-twenty-th type Of
melodrama, and in the heydey of
those plays was one Of their most cele-
DRAFTED performers. Many Of his melo-
dramatic agements, Furthermore,
were obtained from A. II. Woods
whom NIiltern now serves again IN
Roads of Destiny"
Miltern, prior to taking up the
stage, was u Connecticut hotel pro-
prietor But the stage virus was in
his system, and he presently left
Connecticut flat for fortune behind
the footlights His first engagement
was in q play called "Rajah", by the
author of the stage version of Ben
Hur''. and in this piece he made his
first flying trip through the provinces.
4 few desultory and lived en-
gagements of q similar character fol-
lowed, and Miltern then made his de-
hut in the COlOrful melOdrama of the
lime
The firm Of Davis &, Keough was
hen the most flourishing and pros
pe~ous of the maSnatHs in this field.
FOR them Mi}tern appeared in such
plays as "Brother for Brother" Side
walks Of New York" THE Heart of
the Klondi;e," The Stowaway," and
others. He was always the william,
and he soon became the favorite
heavy Of the period.
He then transferred his services to
Sam Blair, WHO was at that time one
of the most promising Of the younger
producers. Blair engaged Miltern for
the heavy role in one of the great sue
cesses of the day. THE Queen of
Chinatown" Among BIair's friends at
that time were "Paddy'' Sullivan, Sam
Harris and A. H. Woods. Blair fol-
lowed THE Queen of Chinatown" with
a melodrama called 1.-THE BOwery
After Dark" written by Theodore
>Kremer. After some months under
Blair's direction Woods took the play
over. Harris, who was then man.
ager of Terry McGovern, the prize
fighter, offered McGovern for the
leading role of the play. Sullivan
contributed some money, and with
these assets the new firm of Sulli-
van, Harris & Woods presented it's
initial offering, The Bowery After
Dark" with Terry McGovern as the
hero and John NIiltern as the william.

DECREASE SEEN IN FIGHTING ON
 THE NINTH DAY
All Along Marne and to the Southwest of Rheims. Allied Troops Still at Death Grip With Enemy

UNDATED WAR LEAD (By The Associated Press) s).-The ninth day of the allied offensive in the Soissons- Rheims salient saw a lessening in the intensity of the battle along the west ern side of the salient. Only mutual bombardments were in progress. Along the Marne and southwest of Rheims the allied troops wer still at deadly grips with the enemy.
 The Germans strove hard to hold back the French and American troops in the forest north of the Marne, de bauching from the woods in strong counter attacks. The enemy every where was forced further back and the forests have been almost entirely clear of Germans.
 Southwest of Rheims heavy rein forcements have been thrown along the front. In the region of Reuil, where the battle line turns sharply to- ward Rheims, the French have cap tured several points of vantage, in- cluding the village of Reiul. They have advanced northward. notwith- standing the violence of the counter movement to the northwest where the Germans are facing the British, the Germans have recaptured Mery and Hill 204. but the British have retained their hold on Vrigny and most of the other territory taken in that region. Eastward from Rheims in Champagne the French now have regained nearly all their old positions and daily are harassing the Germans with counter attacks.
 Before the fighting died down along the western side Of the Rheims-SOis- sons salient the villages of Oulchy Le Chateau and Villemontoire were cap tured by French and American troops who advanced their lines eastward of Oulchy. The fall of Oulchy gives the allied forces the key to the heights dominating Fere-En-T -Tardenois which lies only a short distance to the east. At Oulchy forty guns and hundreds of prisoners were captured
 Big guns have been pulled up for the capture of Fere. En-Tardenois when the time is ripe.

Chairman of War Labor Pol icies Board Denies He Ever Said to Californian That Mooney Was Guilty

WASHINGTON. July 26.-Felix
 Frankfurter. chairman of the war
 labor policies board today tele-
 graphed to Governor Stephens Of
 California a denial that while act
 ing as secretary of President Will
 sons mediation commission he ex-
 pressed an opinion that Thomas
 J. Mooney was guilty of the San
 Francisco preparedness day bomb
 plot for which Mooney is under
 death sentence.
 The telegram was sent because ir. an affidavit field with Governor Ste phens by District Attorney Fickert, Frankfurter was charged with express ing a belief of Moneys guilt to the district attorney.
 The telegram follows.
 News association here reports fil- ing of affidavit with you by District Attorney Fickert, which, in effect at- tributes to me a statement indicating belief in Moneys guilt and urging ex- ecutive action in Moneys behalf soie- " in order to placate radical opinion here and abroad.
 An allegation made by any one as to any expression of belief in Moneys guflt is wholly false. l never directly or indirectly by implication or sugges- tion expressed an opinion in regard to Moneys guilt or innocence. ln- numerable occasions said that l nei- ther had an opinion or was entitled to have an opinion on the merit as 10 Mocney's guilt or innocence. I never l.. I- srh n opinion at this time.
 ''The sole task of the presidents mediation commission in investigat- ing the Mooney case was not to pass upon his guilt or his innocence but to consider whether the circumstances which developed after Moneys con viction were such as to impair the full confidence ordinarily to be accorded to a jury's verdict. The presidents mediation commission as you know reached the same conclusion as this narrow issue as that reached by the attorney general of the state of Cali fornia and the judge before whom the case was tried. The reason that the federal government was involved was because the circumstances of the case widely attracted attention both in this country and among the people of the allies and therefore became a matter of nationwide and international concern. All this has been set forth with un- eauivocaI clearness by the report or the presidents mediation commission to the president on January 16. That report set forth the findings which the commission reached and in all the find ings if set forth the reasons why the commission was charged with making the inquiry and the basis of its recom- mendation. Any opinion or belief out side of the report itself attributed to me or the commission has no tounda- tion whatever.
 q cannot believe that a district at torney who is a judicial officer acting under one of the most solemn oaths imposed upon any official should will ingly or recklessly charge others with facts which he must know to be un-

 DECLARES BAKER
Professional Baseball Men Will Have Until September First to Get More Useful Employment
rRv Review Leased yVlrel


 WASHINGTON, July 26.-Pro-
 fessional baseball players were
 given until September l to seek
 essential employment or be called
 to the colors, in an order issued
 by Secretary Baker today.
 The secretary said that exten-
 sion was given because of the rep
 resentation that players may have
 been put in a less favorable at
 titude than others affected be-
 cause of their reliance on his
 statement the order would not be
 decided until a case had arisen.
 He made it plain that the war de-
 partment is interested solely in
 the strengthening of the mili-
 tary forces.
 Provost Marshal General Crowder Mir. Baker said, has reported it wa' not clear the game would have to bC discontinued even if the order were made immediately applicable. as only 237 major league players would be af fected.
 While regarding it as unfortunate to have so wholesome a recreation de stroyed, the secretary said it would bt a more unfortunate thing to preserve it by making an exception in favor ol players.
 He said baseball differed from other elassed as non-producive ir that its successful conduct depended upon the preservation of all the major league teams scattered throughout the country. while in most occupations the work or fight order has merely a series of local and more or less per sonal effects.
 Secretary Bakers order, in the form of memorandum for the provost mar shal general, said in part:
 'The purpose of the work or fight order, so far as the war department is concerned is to strengthen the mili tary forces of the country and not tC control the labor situation. Incidental ly, it will undoubtedly have the eff feet of adding to the number of per sons usefully employed and decreasing the number of persons uselessly em ployed In this way the order vii the military forces because making it less necessary to exempt fol industrial reasons men who would oth erwise be taken into the military ser vice
 T think it would be an unfortunate thing to have so wholesome a recrea tion as baseball destroyed, if it car be continued by the use of persons mol
