At the Theatres

"Over the Top will be staged at
the Classic Tuesday and Wednesday,
September "a and Is for the benefit of
the Watertown Separate Company,
State Guard Reserve "Over the Top"
is the one story of life in the trenches
that has touched every responsive
soul In America. Since the book was
published more than 100000 people
have read it. Many thousands have
heard Empey, the author, lecture. Now
the whole loyal citizenship of the ma
ton can see the Fighting Sergeant
IN action, can "gO over the top" with
him On the hun hunts. The marvel of
motion picture photography brings to-
life before your very eyes the pulsing,
breathing pages of 'the most widely
read book" of the twentieth century.
Glorious Mae Marsh glorifies any
play in which she appears. When she
comes to the Majestic Thursday in
her newest Goldwyn photodrama, 1.-THE
Glorious Adventure" all her unique
individuality and her remarkable his
trionic ability will be coupled with
play of originality and power. The lit
tie star has never been so fortunate in
her choice of character as in "The
Glorious Adventure" She is precise
1y the sort of girl she depicts with
surprising skill. AS Carey Wethers-
bee, the girl who sought romance on
the open road, she is all Mae Marsh,
all the girl who plays on ones heart
strings like the wind in the willows.

SeashelIs Instead Of Glass.

One curious thing noted by Ameri-
cans in the Philippines was the use by
natives of seashells in lieu of window
glass. There is bivalve mollusk, ma
tive to the waters of that part of the
world, which has a shell seven or eight
inches in diameter, so thin as to be
transparent. It is plentiful and costs
nothing. Glass is expensive.

As to Remarkable Longevity.

We have all read of Thomas Parr, who lived to be one hundred and fifty two. Likewise of the countess of Des- mond, one hundred and forty-five ; Margaret Patten, one hundred and thirty-Seven; Thomas Damme, one hundred and sixty-fOur; John Rovln, Sne hundred and sevcnty-twO; and Pc ter TortOn, who reached the age of one hundred and eighty-fye. But these cases of extraordinary longevity lack proof.
 In the days when those persons lived no accurate chronological records were kept, and dates of occurrences were usually fixed by USSoCiatIng them in memory with other events believed to have happened about the same time. A mans identity was liable to be con- fused with that of a grandfather of the same name.
 Nowadays nobody lives to any such ages. Why imagine that the extreme limits of longevity have shrunk within the last two or three centuries?

WintePs Discipline.

He who marvelS at the beauty of the world in summer will find equal cause for wonder and admiration in winter, It Is true the pOmp and pageantry are swept away, but the essential elements remaIn-the day and the night, the mountain and the valley, the elemen. tai play aud succession, and the per petual presence of the infinite sky. In winter the stars seem to have rekIn- dled their fires, the moon achieves q fuller triumph, and the heavens wear a look of more exalted simplicity. Summer Is more wOoing, more versatile and human, appeals to the affections and the sentiments, and fos- ters Inquiry and the art impulse. Win ter Is of more heroic cast, and ad- dresses the intellect. The severe studies and disciplines come easier in winter. One imposes larger tasks upon himself.

BECOMES lRKSoME AT TIMES
No Matter What the Nature of one's Occupation, It's Routine Wlll oe-
 caslonally Weary.

Are there times when your work be- comes intolerably irksome2 Yes2 We'll don't jump at the conclusion that you are in the wrong place when this hap pens once in awhile. That will be true whatever work you choose. No matter how we'll adapted you are to your occu- patton, there will come times when your thoughts will wander, and the routine will weary you, and you will feel that any other work would be preferable to that which you have chosen. One of the best-knOwn woman writers of the Inst generation wrote an impassioned warning to literary as- pirants, telling them to do any work, even scrubbing floors, in preference to taking up literary career. Undoubt- edly she wrote at a time when her chosen work seemed unspeakably irk- some, but if she had been cOrnered, she would probably have acknowledged that the profession of authorship has considerable to commend It when con- pared with scru5bing floors.
 This occasional lmpatienCe with our vocation Is inevitable. No matter how congenial It is, there are times when 1t will seem a burden. The people who change their occupation every time 1t begins to bore them. are the tramps of the business world.

HUN ARMY IS
BEING RUSHED
To OUR SECTOR
GREAT MOVEMENT OF GERMAN
TROOPS CONCENTRATED BE-
FORE AMERICANS GREAT BAT
TILE ANTICIPATED.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY, in
France, June S.-Reports of recent
heavy German troop movements from
the direction of Metz toward the st.
Mihiel salient has aroused discussion
in the American expeditionary forces
as to whether the enemy is planning
an assault in the Woevre From tao
teal point of view, the neighborhood
of st. Mihiel, with it's sharp salient, of
fers a logical place for German at
tack A drive through st. Mihiel to the
southwest, it is considered, might have
a triple object-menacing of Barle-
Due the outf1anking of Verdun from
the rear and the elimination of the sa-
lient which has its apex at Verdun.
Another place which is likely to see
more fighting is the sector around
Montdidier, where American troops re-
Gently captured Cantigny. Another inn
'portant point at which American
troops are stationed is the territory
around Chateau Thierry 1t may be
considered cerain that whatever the
future holds the American forces I'M
doubtedly will participate in some
hard fighting.

The supply of brown sugar, pulver-

through the local food administrator,
as much as 325 pounds. and the Hard

GERMAN COUNTER ATTACKS COM
PLETELY CHECKED AND ENEMY
BEATEN BACK AFTER HEAVY
ALL-DAY FIGHTING.

WITH THE AMEICRAN ARMY, in
France, June 8-American marines
and adjoining units again drove for
ward northwest of Chateau Thierry to-
day German counter attacks were
completely blocked by the American
advance.
The artillery fire which had been
incassant along Belleau Wood through
out the night, increased violently
about O'Clock this morning At that
moment the right wing of the ma
rines attacked in the south part of
the wood, where the Germans had re-
ta'ned q foothold Success attained in
this attack has not been fully report,
ell, although numerous prisoners have
been sent back The indications are
that the American eliminated the enc
my north of the sunken road between
Torcy and Bealleau.
At 1890 the enemy attempted to
advance their infantry, supported by
artillery and machine guns. Their at
tack was preceded by barrage of gas
shells and clouds of poisonous smoke.
The marines donned their gas masks
and stopped them four hundred yards
from the trenches with artillery and
rife fire. At the same time the Boches
attacked an adjoining unit, losing one
hundred men and suffering a complete
repulse The American losses were
inconsequentiaI
There is evidence that the German
elements are again receiving fresh
reinforcements in an effort to hold the
Americans.
