CLEVER TRIO PLAYING
AT THE Joy THEATRE

The Carr trio played to a capacity
house last night at the Joy theatre
and gave entire satisfaction to the
big crowd. The act consisted OF
singing and dancing specialities.
Miss Carr wore some really stunning
gowns and captured her audience by
her clever toe dancing. The show
was full OF pep" from start to fin
ish and several people in the au-
dience said they had seen this same
attraction only few weeks ago. BY
popular request the management Is
holding them over tonight and to-
morrow night. The program tonight
will be the same as last night. On
Tuesday they will give an entire
change. New and different songs,
dances, comedy and costumes. Miss
Carr VIII present the hula hula
dance just as she learned It In the
Hawaiian Islands. The whole show
is a sure enough attraction and will
certainly please.

GERMAN RUSH TOWARD PARIS
Continued from Page One.

the Germans, in a continuation OF
their mighty stroke, gained several
additional villages and then attempts
ed to proceed further westward.
magnificent opposition was made by
the newly strengthened lines and
with terrific smashes the French
forces recaptured Long Point, Corey,
Faverolls, Champlat aud Troenes,
vantage points in the center of the
line leading to the forest of Villers
Coterets. which seems TO be the pres
ent objective of the enemy. The
French also recaptured Monte de
Cholsy and Hin 1858.
The Germans, however. still have
in their position the village OF vau-
reSis. west of Scissors. and further
south Saeonln-et-Breuil, Chaudun,
Licy and Bouresches. the last named
directly west Of Chateau Thlerry. A
little to the southwest of Chateau
Thlerry the enemy has reached the
Marne.
Nowhere has there been any at
tempt by the invaders to cross the
river, and at all points east OF Cha
teau Thierry they are hugging the
northern bank of the stream. 1t Is
not improbable. however, that the
tactics OF the Germans have in view
the fording Of the river when the
time Is more propitious for in the
center OF the line between Chateau
Thierry and Rheims they have push
ed back the allied forces across the
river at the Dormans road between
Elizy-volaine and ville-en-Tardenois
and are pressing onward toward the
Marne. This Is the only point on
their left wing. however, where the
enemy has been able to make fresh
gains.
Having failed In all their efforts
to conquer Rheims by direct assault,
n now seems to be the intention OF
the Germans further to widen their
occupation OF the territory lying
south OF the Rheims-Dormans road
and thereby outflank the cathedral
city and bring about It's capitulation.
Taken all in all. the seventh day
OF the new battle found the allies

though II had been bent back at
various points. not so hard-pressed
as on previous days and seemingly
more capable OF resisting the enc
my's onslaught.

Cultivate Seff-Confidence.

Dress and self-confidence go hand

that you can and will do whatever

deficient in self-confidence, you cannot
expect to inspire it in others.
