Pretty Star Quite Enough
to Keep Big Audience
in Laughter.
COMIC OPERA SUCCESS
Record Crowd Enjoys Bright
Musical Play, Thanks to
Stars Trousers.

The endearing young charms OF
Mitzi are 80 per cent of Pom Pom.
Being more endearing than ever and
no whit less young. they completely
justified the persistent and eestatic
press notices which last night lured
past war tax collectors the largest au-

Other persons appeared upon the
stage during the evening. but the ad-
miration of the audience was re-
served for the star. whose pretty voice
and prettier mannerisms were the sub
stance of the entertainment. Mitzi's
trousers deserve second honors: they
made Pom Pom" more estimable than
"The Spring Maid" which was sheir
peared here.
On the eve OF her first appearance
at the Olympic theater In Nice as
Pom Pom the Pickpocket," the prima
donna is arrested as burglar by n
police force borrowed from the movies.

amazing miscellany of sinners with wit
enough and song to keep things now
ing while the chorus ladies' who FREE
quently interrupt the deviltry are abs
sent. A handsome and baritone po-
lice inspector in disguise makes pos
sible a tuneful and happy ending.
For all that the plot is less evanes-
cent than usual. and anyhow the plot
didn't matters while Mitzi was i'm the
spotlight; the intriguing trousers were
plot enough.

region between Nets and 8trassburg.
The concentration in Belgium has been
so heavy that ordinary railway traffic.
especially between Brussels and Ant
werp. has been almost completely sus-
pended. Four double tracked railways
and numerous automobile roads have
been used to rush troops into the re-
gion behind Metz.
Russian Frontier Stripped.
The German endorsements on the
western front have been drawn largely
from the Russian frontier and include
many Austrian divisions. They are
estimated by English authorities at
100000 men. They will bring the
German armies in the west up to n
greater strength than ever before in
the history of the war.
When the Germans will launch their
double campaign il a matter Of con-
lecture. Their verdun offensive last
year began in the latter part of Febru-
airy. Their drive this year is expected
TO open earlier. In fact, it Is looked
for at any time and may begin tomor-
row or next week.
Since the Germans usually strike
where least expected, some British and
French army men are inclined to dis
count the idea that they will deliver
the rather well advertised blows
perts eliminate Alsace as a possible
point Of attack because Of the adapta-
bility OF the Vosges country between
Belfort and the Swiss frontier for large
army maneuvers.
They think too. that an offensive in
the direction OF the Aisne is unlikely
because Of the recent capture by the
French OF tho advantageous Chemin
des Danes plateau. They believe the
German strategists will select a point
in the Champagne sector proba bly, be-
tween Reims and the Argonne. for
their supreme blow, despite the late
loss of the heights Of Moronvilliers in
that region. If the allied lines are
penetrated In this sector the road to
Paris will lie open through the valley
of the Marine.
Allies Are Confident.
While the German war lords are
forging their thunderbolts in secret. the
English and French commanders re-
main superbly confident OF their abil-
ity to defeat them at whatever point
they may strike. II the German prep
arations have been enormous. the prep
arations of the English and French
have been on a no less magnificent
scale.
The Germans believe the morale OF
the French army and the French ma
ton is at the breaking point. They
hope to drive France to q revolution
and a separate peace. They will be dis
appointed. The heroic spirit of France
may be depended upon to fight the
war out with uncomfortable determi-
nation. Nothing is more certain than
that France will never sue for sepa-
rate peace. The French army, backed
by the French nation, win fight on to
whatever end the future may have in
store. ~
Whatever the result, the spring oper-
atoms undoubtedly will terminate the
deadlock OF interminable trench war
fare.

Calais and Nancy Detectives
Of Great Spring Drive
on West Front.
LIKE FIRST CAMPAIGN
Offensive May Be Ending Of
Deadlock That Has Held
Armies In Check.

Iondon,-where will the Germans
strike when they open their great
spesng offensive on the western front?
This il Just now the thrilling question
confronting England and France.
There il no longer any doubt that
the Germans are on the eve Of deliv-
ering their supreme blow of the war
a blow which they hope will put
France out OF the fighting and per
haps bring peace to the world.
French and English military author
tiles are convinced the Germans con-
template q double offensive, the two
immediate detectives Of which will be
Calais and Nancy. If these detectives
are achieved the two German armies
will converge for an attack on Paris.
Duplicate First German Campaign.
The German campaign apparently is
to be fashioned upon much the same
lines as their first, campaign OF the
war In that first campaign Won
Kluck was to drive south from Bel
gium, while the crown prince was to
break through the French lines at
verdun and join him in front of Paris.
Won Kluck did his part. but the crown
prince failed, and the battle OF the
Marine saved France.
In their present plans, the Germans.
It is said, expect their army of the
north to smash the English lines in
Flanders, capture Calais and press
toward Paris. At the same time their
second army. debcuching from Lor-
raine, will attempt to take Nancy and
work westward with the French CAPT.
tai as its ultimate goal. Paris is at
the apex of a triangle almost equally
distant from Calais and Nancy.
Path Of Former Disaster.
The difficulties of these operations
are obvious. The Germans already
have made one campaign for Calais,
the only result of which was the
slaughter Of thousands of their best
troops. They have made two unsuc-
cessful attempts to break through the
French lines at verdun. their last at
tempt being their most disastrous cam
paign of the war.
In their attack on the Flanders front
they will find the English as strong nu-
merically. as well equipped In artillery
and as seasoned campaigners as them
selves. The army under General Haip
Will prove far different foe from the
poorly equipped contingents under
Lord French that Won Kluck swept
before him in the cyclonic rush thai
carried the Germans within sight OF
the towers OF Notre Dame.
Will Avoid verdun.
In their drive from Lorraine tho
Germans will avoid verdun. that roc}

Nancy at least occupies less difficu'
