GERMANS TO STRIKE
At MURMAN RAILROAD

SpeciaL Cable to Evening Pubic Ledger
Copyrioht, 1918, Jv Neo York Times Co.
London, Aug. >.
The new front is developing in the
Thurman region, your correspondent
learns, and as the SHOWS OF winter
make travel in the roadless district
easier fighting may be erpected. Inc
Allied forces have the active help or
the local Murman Government, and
have been reinforced by numbers of
inhabitants of the district.
The Germans are concentrating in
the neighborhood of Niborg, on the
Gulf of Finland, and are making
preparations at Lake Ladoga which
can only mean that they contemplate
an advance against the southern end
of the Murman railroad. They have
the support of the Finnish Govern.
ment. which is organizing its forces
at Uleaborg and is also active at the
terminal of the railroads at Re.
vaniemi, kaiana and Nurmis.
The Germans hope to organize a
Finnish army $4,000 strong, but only
half of them, 1t Is reckoned will be
really serviceable. Moreover, while the
Finnish Government is pro-German
| the bulk of the population Is bitterly
| opposed to their new masters. They
are very short of food and realize that
their sole chance of getting it is from
the Entente.
The inhabitants of Murman are also
heart and soul with the Allies. They
| know that the Germans have induced
| the Bolshevik Government to agree
| to the cession of their territory 10
Finland, and they are firmly resolved
not to be separated from Russia.
No change has taken place in Arch
| angel There the Soviet is still anti
| Entente, although the bulk of the
population Is very friendly to the
| Allies. There is, however. n great
shortage of food and other supplies
and this may ultimately alter the stu
| alton materially.

Aug. 2.-(By l. y. 81.
Severe fighting developed yesterday
along the entire front held by the Amer
leans east of Observation-Disclosures, when
the Germans, backed by strong re-en-
forcements surged forward in thick
waves and attempted to recapture
Cierges and oust us from our positions
across the Ourcq by turning the right
wing. The attack was developed dur
ing the night. the boche carrying up
scores of light machine guns before
dawn.
The heavy German smash was directed
northward of Cierges Some of the
newly conquered low ground had to be
given back to the enemy but he was
again forced back by an irresistible dash
of two companies that used the bayonet
freely.
The Americans apparently were great
ly outnumbered around Cierges, but the
doughboys again proved their worth as
bayonet fighters.

1.-THE PRINCESS PAT"
Sparkling Musical Comedy Full Of
HumOr and Songs Shows TO Two
Large Audiences at the Wash.
ingtOn Theater Yesterday.

OF all the musical offerings present
ed within the last few years, none
have attracted more attention or re-
ceived warmer praise than has the
Cort Theatre, New York production of
the Victor Herbert, Henry Blossom
musical comedy, "The Princess Pat"
which showed to large audiences at
the Washington Theatre yesterday af-
ternoon and night. The reason for
this lies in the fact that Victor Her.
bert has fairly excelled himself in the
tunefulness and variety displayed in
the twenty numbers he has given to
the play, while combined with the ex-
ceptional score is Henry Blossoms
book that is humorous and interesting
and has well sustained plot. Asso-
ciated with this powerful combination
in the staging of "The Princess Pat"
was Mr.. Fred G. Latham than whom
none are more competent in directing
stage presentations of this particular
line of productions.
Briefly told the story of the play
has to do with the Princess di Mon
taldo (PaD, an Irish girl who is the
wife of an Italian nobleman and who
is visiting her chum, Grace Holbrook,
at the home Of her uncle. Among 9TH
er visitors is Anthony O'Brien, a
wealthy man who hopes to climb the
social ladder through a marriage with
Grace. To this Grace agrees solely to
aid her uncle out of his financial diff
culties, but Pat does not believe in
such a sacrifice and partly to break
off the engagement and with still an
other purpose in view she resorts to a
little affair with O'Brien. Her second
reason for engaging in the Irritation
was, if possible, to arouse in her
titled spouse a return to the ardent
love-making that was, much to Pats
liking, so marked in the early days Of
their marriage. That the course she
pursues is entirely successful both in
her own case and that of Grace fol-
lows naturally.
A few of the score of numbers that
showed Mr.. Herbert at his latest and
best were II Wish l Was an Island
in an Ocean of Grils," GAIL For YOU"
1.-TWO Laughing Irish Eyes," "Flirt-
ing, "Neapolitan Love Song, an a
Little World For Two, Make Him
Guess, and Love is Best of ALL"
Among the important members of the
cast were Annette Ford, Stef Ander-
son, Francis Schofeld, Nelson Riley,
Edwin Stanley, Peter Macarthur, Will
bur Cox, Augustus Buell., John Rein
hard. A chorus of singers under the
direction of II. H. Hamilton completed
an organization.
