Dr. Hills tells q thrilling story

German retreats the testimony Of
what has happened is collected By
men sent into the district. A

"OVER THE TOP''

The Home Guard are fortunate ir securing the services of Patrick F Bowe, the popular song writer who will sing his own selections including ''The Irish Volunteer" and When We Come Marching Home" in the State armory today, tomorrow and Satur- day during the showing of the timely patriotic masterpiece, "Over the Top
 MT. Bowe has toured the country and has won laurels in grand opera and on the vaudeville stage. Of re- cent years he has devoted all his time to the writing and publishing of songs.
 His efforts have been applauded from coast to coast and he has many newspaper notices commenting his work.
 Among his most successful songs are '"The Irish Volunteer which he wrote and dedicated to the 69th regi- ment of New York City and When We Come Marching Home" which was dedicated to Col. J. S. Heron and the 304th infantry.

POLES

Two prime attractions for enter taining a broadly diversified public will be offered at the Pol theatre to- day as features on a magnificent vaudeville and photoplay program.
 Well Well, Wer,'' the title of Broadway's latest vaudeville travesty, covers large cast of exceptionally clever singers, dancers and conversa- tional artists There is much new and novel scenery brought with the act and melody and mirth will sparkle throughout
 The supreme screen attraction of the season is a revival of that old and popular meodrama of American coun- try life, 'Biue Jeans," which for the first time has been given it's scope of scenic diversity and attraction by medium of the cameras eye and the screen Miss Viola Dana has been given the leading part and more than ever are the great thrills of this drama reproduced
 Other vaudeville attractions upon the vaudeville stage include Marie Dlonahue, premiere singing come dienne of the American stage, who will offer a repertoire of talk and comic parodies.
 Clark & Bergman, in their newly concocted dance and song review, will occupy the stage during their allotted time, offering delightful and delecta- hle bits of the best in music and terp- sichorean excellence
 The Eddie Miller Duo, harmonists, come fortified against all odds and their vocal delicacies will inspire with new life and invigorate patriotic fer vcr.
 Hearst-Pathe News changed today gives broad knowledge of the great events which dominate the newspaper columns. Hearst-Pathe is the only method of vizualizing what happens elsewhere in America and Europe.

LYRIC

Never before since the Lyric thea Ire was occupied by the Poli play CTS giving stock productions has a series of performances such as the musical comedy "very Good Eddie" occupied the stage and perhaps nev- CT before has the house been filled with the attendances attracted to this beautiful playhouse. Every Good Eddie is continued laugh interspersed with plenty of musical numbers both in solo and duet which assist materially in 1ivening up the lines and many of the situations.
 As the hotel clerk of the Rip Van Wrinkle Inn in the Catskill mountains Dudley Ayers shines. The role is as full of jokes as an egg is of meat and MT. Ayers puts them over with just the proper degree of abandon. He also sings several songs in each of which he is assisted by the swagger chorus of pretty girls from the ori- ginal company in New York whose songs and dances bring down the house at each performance.
 Miss Warda Howard is seen as Georgiana, and as the managerial wife of Eddie is excellent. Miss Gladys Knorr, Miss Edith Spencer, Miss Carrie Lowe and others of the company, all of whom have special ties to offer are greeted with round after round of applause at each pro- duction. Seats can be purchased in advance for any of the remaining per formances twice daily today, tomor- row and Saturday.
 Sunday night Douglas Fairbanks will be the feature in one of his lat est successes '"The Man from Painted Post'' Besides this there will be the usual Mack Sennett comedy. Mutt [ and tJeff cartoons and the Hearst Pathe Weekly news pictorials which are attracting so much attention.
 Next week "The Lion and the Mouse will be the attraction and the Poli Players anticipate scoring an other series of successes.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT

ter'' and other successful photoplays, will be well remembered.
 In this story, which is an adapta- tion by John Emerson and Anita Loos of Vietorien Sardou's "Divor- cnos," the celebrated stage success Miss Burke depicts in delightful fash ion the romance of Cyprienne Mar cey, a girl in a convent whose roman tic nature finds expression in numer- ous, harmless f1irtations. She weds becomes dissatisfied, demands a di- vorce, which she later refuses to ac- cept and finally discovers the error o1 her ways, and a reconciliation witt her husband follows.
 This charming photoplay, Lets Gel DiDorce,'' will be presented at the Empire theatre today and tomorrow It is an excellent vehicle for Miss Burke, and was directed by Charles Giblyn

Washington, Aug. l4.-As submarine
operations of the Atlantic coast grow
more daring, conviction grows among
naval officials that Germany's sole OBJ
ject is to draw Americas attention
away from the transports and supply
ships en- route to Europe. But indica-
tions today are that the government
will not permit the crafty Uboat com
mandcrs to divert our sea fighters to a
chase after spectacular raiders.
Nevertheless increased precautions
are being taken TO apprehend the UNDER
sea raiders which are now apparently
operating along the Atlantic coast.
While the nature of these preeautionj
cannot be discussed, naval officers ar.
convinced that they will soon show re-
suits. The American people are caution
ed not to become unduly alarmed at tLs
attempts at frightfulness which Ger
many is making.

With the American Armies in France
Aug. 13.-(Night)-Allie prisoners, in
GLIDING Americans, are beaten witt
clubbed rifles on the slightest provoca
tioa, according to two British soldiers
who were captured by the Germans on
May 27, and escaped to the American
lines, after spending a week in hiding
and fleeing. They told a remarkable
story Of cruelties practiced by the
boehcs.
Only the most serious cases are ad-
mitttd to hospitals, where they receive
little treatment, the Tommics said. The
majority of wounded die in the hospit

self weak with high fever, worked un.
tiringly treating other prisoners and
endeavoring to obtain supplies.
Conditions in the hospitals are the
worst possible. The Britishers saw Am
crican wounded who had not been treat.
ed and whose wounds, originally Slight.
were becoming serious.
The prisoners stories indicated an
increasing shortage in foods and sup
plies of all kinds. Their ratiOns con
sisted of three quarters of a poundof
unpalatable potato bread, pint of thin
vegetable soup, and coffee made OF
hawthorne berries. The boches received
practically the same rations, except in
larger quantities
Looted cattle and casualties on the
horse lines furnished. meat occasionally
tc the toches. The prisoners got nc
meat.
The two Tommies said the lack of
food among the civilian population of
Germany was such that it has become
the custom Of the soldiers to send their
families part of their sorely needed ra.
tions. Much food was recently sent to
Austria in an effort to aid conditions
there
The prisoners heard boche soldirrs
say tht conditions at home are so de
pressing that they wanted no furloughs
prcferring to remain in the line.
