Observation-Disclosures

A wedding that came as a sur
prise to their friends of this vici-
nifty was that of Miss Ruth Will
mott, eldest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. L. b. Willmott and Harrison
Crawford, only son of Mrs. A.
Price, which took place at the
Methodist parsonage in Council
Bluffs, Wednesday, July 10th, at
moon. The Rev. Crissmm per-
formed the beautiful ring cere-
mony with only immediate rela-
tives present.
The bride is an accomplished
young lady having been gradual,
ed from the Missouri Valley high
school in June 1915 and since
then has been a teacher in the
schools of our county.
Mr.. Crawford received his edu-
cation at Fremont College and is
now one of our most successful
young farmers and is worthy OF
the bride he has won. They left on
a wedding trip to Denver, Colo.
after which the groom will be
called for military service and the
bride will make her home with
her parents, until the return OF
her husband, when they will re-
side on the groom's farm north oil
town. These young people need
no introduction as they are held
in high esteem by all who know
them.

ssro. Empey Coming In The Great
American Drama, "over the
Top"

The Majestic Theatre Books Vita
graph Picture Starring Fa-
nous Fighter in Own Story
Sergeant Arthur Guy Empey,
veteran of the Somme and author
of the most famous of war books,
"Over the Top" is coming to town
Manager Moreland of the Males
tic Theatre announces that he has
booked the Vitagraph super-fea-
ture, lover the Top which was
made from Employs book, and the
sergeant will be seen as the star
of the production.
This is probably the most i'm
pOrtant news which has come to
local motion picture fans" in an
age, because they have all heard
of Empey and want to see him.
According to the advance informa-
ton received by Mr.. Moreland Mr..
Empey will appear on the screen
with all Of the magnetism that has
made him one Of the most notable
personalities deAeloped by the
war. Albert E. Smith, president of
the Vitagraph company, has pro-
inounced him one Of the greatest
natural actors he ever saw, and he
/ also says that Empey has been
permitted to re-enact on the
screen the thrilling moments he
experienced during the eighteen
months he fought the Germans in
France.
Empey is said to have gone into
4 motion pictures reluctantly and
4 only after he had been convinced
\ that motion picture with aAreal
soldier as the central figure and
bona fide incidents as the back
ground would be Of a value in
solidifying American determine
ton to win the. war. Prior TO ac-
jcepting the Vitagraph proposal,
Empey had declined offers from
theatrical managers and motion
picture magnates, declaring that
he preferred to make his appeal to
America personally. Since his re-
turn to this country after eighteen
months of hell in the trenches OF
France, Empey has devoted him
self to patriotic work. By person
al appeal, he raised more than one
million dollars for the Second Lii
berry Loan, aided the. Rqi Gross
in divers ways and was a strong
influence in swelling enlistments
for the United States Army ane
Navy. His book and his lectures
also have been potent adjuncts o.
the Governments war propa.

Dear SIR
We have your order, through
our Mr.. Brown, for which we
thank you.
We regret it will be necessary
for us to cross Off The order of ice
cream cones, as we are entirely
out, and cannot procure any more,
as the government has shut off
the manufacturers from making
them. Ice cream cones are almost
impossible to procure, as far as
we know. We have been trying to
pick them up from other jobbers,
but they are about in the same fix
that we are, having sold out their
stock, and can not get any more.
Regretting that we are unable
to take care of this part of the Or
der, we are shipping the balance.
Yours truly,

La speaking Of i1Ir American soldiers

"|Thr French generals tell mc the vic
tory was peculiarly American in its
conception and execution. | am much
impressed with the magnificent disci-

American trOops.'
David Lloyd George, prime minister
of England, in speaking Of our soldiers,
said:
- We know that when they appear in
the battle line they fight i'll u way
worthy Of the great traditions Of their
great country. This is in itself a
source of support, sustenance, and en-
conragement to all those who with an
xioas hearts are watching the conflict

Of the world of the Americans in France
Our soldiers part in the great drive

it is the part of the Americans at home

theirs, our response will be worthy of
our great country and of our soldiers
and sailors. And every good American
win do his or her best to make it so.

ONLY RECORD ADVANCES :
OF LOCAL CHARACTER.
ENEMY LOSES YEARS GAINS
Curing the Past Eight Weeks Allied
Troops Have Cleared Almost in
IL Entirety German.HeId Ter.
ritory From Marine to Aisne.

London, Sept. 12.-Eight weeks to
the day, and for the first time the
great Allied offensive of Marshal Foch
is at a virtual pause. Truly, both
the British and French on isolated
sectors OF the front extending from
Flanders to the east of scissors again
have recorded advances, but these ad-
vances were purely local in charac-
ter.
Wednesday witnessed no such prog
ress by the Allies toward strategic OBJ
jeetives as the last few days had seen
recorded-before the torrential rains
turned the lowlands into impossible
marshes and the badly worsted enemy
rushed large achievements forward
to stop the gaps through which the
British, French and American armies
were threatening to filter and wreck
his entire military system.
Germans Lose Years Gains.
During the eight weeks that have
passed the Allied troops have cleared
almost in its entirety the enemy-held
territory from the Marine to the Aisne

bulge We 'tward to NonttIidior and
toward the doorstep OF Amiens has all
but been on,iteTated and the Allies
now are standing across large pOv-
ton Of the old hindenDurg defense
line and virtually are upon the re-
mainder of it.
To the north in Flanders the deep
salients which threatened the English
channel ports have been bent eastward
and the enemy is expelled from the
vantage points from which he had ex-
pected ultimately to make his drive
in an endeavor to gain the seaboard
and thus cause "a diversion of the
transport service from England to
Southern France.
Rains, Not Foe, Stop Allies.
Until the rains began falling, there
had been no let-up in the Allied often
sive, Notwithstanding the fact that the
German high command has stiffened
it's resistance everywhere, discarding
infantry units as such in training them
to machine gun companies and bring
ing up large numbers of guns of all
calibres to hold the aggressors back.
Therefore it is not improbable that
Foch, when the skies shall have
cleared and the marshes shall have
disappeared, again will take up his
task with full impetus and continue
for the two months of good fighting
weather remaining, if not beyond that
period, his efforts with his own great
forces to drive the Germans farther
back toward the Rhine.
The British and French troops ap-
parently are in a hard race for the
prize Of St. Quentin, forces of both
armies now being at equi-distant points
west of the city-the British in the
vicinity of Vermand and the French at
Etreillers and Roupy.

tho Off7e9fo.

London, Sept. ia troopship with
$500 American soldiers on board has
been torpedoed. All hands were
saved. The troopship was beached.
In order to save time, instead Of
launching the boats the men elambered
down ropes to destroyers which
swarmed around the stricken vessel
and came close alongside. This oper-
alton was greatly facilitated by the
fact that the sea was not rough.
Member Of Large Convoy.
The troopship was q member Of a
large convoy approaching the English
coast. The vessel was torpedoed 200
miles from shore at 3 p. m.
The transfer of the American SOL
diers from the stricken vessel to es-
corning British and American torpedo.
boat destroyers was made without in
jury to anyone. They all escaped
when the torpedo exploded and they
soon were on their way to British
port.

board and the admirable behav ior CT
the men WIS Especially SI.tlii ling to
the officers.
Many Of the troops came from Chi
cago and Cleveland and q large per
centage Of them were factory hands Of
foreign extraction. Their behavior
proved that they had assimilated the
true spirit Of the American soldier
Several soldiers told the Associat ed
Press that they saw the German sub
marine lifted clear out of the water
after one of the depth bombs explod-
ed, and then entirely disappear.
Something had gone wrong with the
troopship's engines which compelled
her for time to lag behind the rest
of the convoy, but the trouble had
been fixed up and she was fast catch
ing up with the other transports when
a torpedo hit her just forward of the
engine-room.
Vessel Starts to Sink.
The vessel at once began to sink by
the bow. Many of the soldiers at the
time were taking baths. They did
not wait to dress but made for the
deck with what little clothing they
could hastily lay hands on. The wa
ter was rushing in at such rate that
it was thought the steamer would
quickly founder
To the surprise of most of the SOL
diers the troopship did not sink. Some
means apparently were found to check
the thrush of water and she got near
enough to the shore to be beached. It
is hoped that the vessel ultimately can
be saved.
