Somewhere in France
August 3, 1918

Dear Christ
My first chance of writing these
few lines to you since I am here in
France. We are camped near by a
town and we get pretty good chow.
Things are pretty interesting here.
The first night we were here the
Boche came around and dropped
bombs near by us, but no one was
hurt. Many times we see the Allied
air men bring down Boche plane
and have seen a number of fights
take place among the clouds. We
no longer stand and stare at every
airplane we hear and see. But we
do become interested when we hear
that peculiar sounding motor of
Fritzie's for there usually is little
excitement when he comes over.
We just came back from the front
line, and we are going to return in
a few days. Shells have fallen
within 100 it. of me, and that's close
enough. You can hear the shells
whistling through the air, and it
seeps as though they are going to
land right on your bean. 1t is a
grand and glorious feeling when
they explode and you feel that you
are still whole. When they toss
over gas shells we have to get on
our masks, because if we don't we
are done for. Give. my regards to
all who know at home and don't
forget to write often. Well, so
long.

Claims Improvement in Violin.

A patent recently granted to an Illi-
nois inventor covers a radical depart
ure in the design Of the violin. the
body of which is cylindrical in shape
and much more compact than the old
time instrument. The sound post
and bass-bar in modified form are
necessarily retained. The instrument
is provided with a chin rest so shaped
as to be extended laterally while in
use and of folding against the instru-
ment when not in use. The appear
ance Of the violin is most eXtraOr-
binary, but it is said that the quality
and volume of tone is the equal of
that found in handmade vioins of
conventional construction The pc
culiar form involves simplification
in the mode of manufacture and adj
mits of instruments being made almost
wholly by machinery, while still pos
sessing excellent tone quality.

LAWLER BROTHERS
STATE POLICY
Tell What They Would Do if Able to
Secure Lease Of Auditorium-NOt
Pictures Exclusively.

Editor of The Reformer:
As we are one of the applicants for
the management of the Auditorium, we
feel that it is our duty to let the peo-
pie of Brattlebofo know what our
policy will be if I'VE are successful in
getting the Auditorium.
We propose to book the same class of
attractions, stars and stock companies
that we are now and have been booking
at the Lawler theatre in Greenfield,
Mass, and during the time that we can
not get theatrical attractions, we pro-
pose to put on a high class grade of
motion pictures, Including all of the
big special productions.
We recognize the fact that the Au-
ditorium is not maintained as a money
making enterprise and that it was de-
signed for the benefit of the towns
people and we propose at any time that
the inhabitants of the town of Brattle-
boro. churches or local societies want
to use the Auditorium, that we are
willing that they should have it under
such terms and conditions as the select
men may recommend.
1t is not our intention to show mo-
tion pictures exclusively. We have
been assured by the theatrical booking
agencies in New York that if we get the
mana cement of the Auditorium they
will book us the same class of stars,
productions and stock companies as we
get at our theatre here at Greenfield.
| The following is list of some of the
stars, productions and stock companies
that we have played at the Lawlei
theatre in Greenfield:
| Stars: Sarah Bernhardt, Mrs Pat
rick Campbell, Grace George, Mrs. Fiske
Margaret Anglin, William Hodge, May
l1rwin, Maud Adams, George Arliss
Raymond Hitchcock, Stella Mayhem
Nat Goodwin.
Productions: Your I'VE in Love, Very
Good Eddie, Princess Pat, Parlor, Bed
room and Bath, Katinka, Watch You
Step, High Jinks, Oh Lady Lady, TIL,
lOnly Girl, Good Gracious Annabelle
The Very Idea, So Long Lefty, Every

X. Champlin, Bob OFT, Winifred 81

Mr.. n. j. Lawler being one of the d
rectors, places us in a position whereof
we can secure the best attractions.

The attack on the front southwest of
Soissons is making ground, but the
progress is apparently too slow for the
Germans 10 realize their plan to cut in
behind Compeigne forest and outhank
the French positions farther north. In
the fighting so far the Germans have
made less than mile along front
about three miles long from south of
Amblcnc TO st. Pierre-Aiglc. The
Germans evidently realize the danger
to them in the Chateau Thierry sector
near the Marne and have made a VIC
lent attack against the line held by the
American troops northwest of that city
The Americans have held their ground
and repulsed the enemy with heavy
losses. In the Flanders salient the Brit
ish have improved their positions neal

Business Interests.

q No price is set on the lavish summer

These words of James Russell Lowell

come and both are needed, but it is
urged that everyone buy 1918 tag
and wear it Saturday, June Is.
Fifty young women solicitors have
been selected and their routes have
been laid out. They will call at the
houses, offices and shops. and will ap-
proach those on the streets who do not
display red tag, and will ask cour-
teously for your contribution. What
you drop into the boxes will be your
own secret and no comments will be
made.
| The management of the rest room
asks that there be generous response
to the call to support community
Interest. 1t is not charitable object
but an institution which is useful ad
iunct to the business interests of the
town. Those in charge of the manage
ment of the room are giving liberally
of time and unselfsh work all the yea
around and rejoice at its increasing
usefulness.
4 Refreshments will be served in th'
rest room to the solicitors as they re

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Wednesday night, by the As
sociated Press.-The defence of Cour-
celles on the left wing of the battle
front by the French against attacks re-
peated day and night from June Q to
June IL makes wonderful story of
heroism.
The village, which is most important
owing to its commanding position, was
for 4S hours almost surrounded by the
enemy, but the French held on and
when favorable opportunity came
SORTED and counter attacked, repulsing
the Germans from the vicinity. The
spirit of the offensive was so high
among the allied troops that they con
tinued their advance on the left today
despite the fatigues they had under
gone since the beginning of the week
Another batch of several hundred Ger
man prisoners were brought in will
