At the Majestic

Mary Mac Laren, whom critics
are pleased to call the american
beauty Of the screen" displays her
rare versatility in Vanity Pool,
which comes to the Majestic theatre
today and Friday. She plays the
part of a maid of the tenements
brought into high society, an en-
tirely different sort of role from
those she has previously assumed.
IN The Models Confession" she
was seen as a Fifth Avenue manni-
kin; in Bread" she was a country
girl who comes to the city to be
come an actress; but in Vanity
Pool" she is q child Of the poor
who awaits the coming Of her
Prince Charming, only to find that
he has cloven hOOfs and a wife all
his own.

1t Is Probable That More

SEVERAL UNITS
PROBABLY INCLUDED
101st Ammunition Train Was
Recently Cited for
Bravery

One would think from reading some of
the Boston papers that Vermont did not
have the nucleus of complete organiza.
ton in the Goth division, which, accord
ing to reports from the front, is doing
good service in driving back the Huns;
but such is not the case, according to the
records Of the adjutant generals Office
from the transfers furnished Vermont
some months since, for no mention was
made Sunday of the l0lst ammunition
train, which is a part Of the Goth division
and which has been twice cited for brav-
cry OF the 300 men which compose
that train, of which Major Ashley of
Vermont is second in command, Vermont
furnished 7l3 men. These were trans
ferred from the old lst Vermont regi-
ment, 10 of whom being officers.
While the duties Of the train are diff
ferent from that of the machine gun or
infantry men they are one Of the essen
tials Of the battlefront, for ii is their
duty to get the ammunition to the big
guns and they work under fire.
It is interesting TO note that two
weeks ago Gov. H. F. Graham received a
letter from Major Ashley relating how
the train was cited for bravery, and
that the day following a Paris story
gave the same credit to the train.
Other Vermonters who are in the pres
ent drive are: l02d regiment infantry,
so men; l0lst machine gun battalion,
100 men and four officers; l02d machine
gun battalion, 2l3 men, three officers,
making total Of l,4l7 Of the old Yer
mont regiment.

IRISH FARMERS
SLOW TO RECRUIT
Standish 0'Grady Issues Warning That
They Hold Their Lands BY Act
of the Imperial Parliament.

Dublin, July 20. Correspondence of
the Associated Press Irish farmers
have been the most backward of all
classes in regard to recruiting for the
army.
Standish o'Grady, distinguished Irish
writer, the author of several Irish novels
and historical works, has issued warn
ing to them that, under the land pur-
chase acts, they hold their lands by an
act of the imperial parliament, that
parliament has advanced over I00O00,000
pounds for the purchase of the land from
the landlords, has handed it over TO
thousands Of peasant proprietors and Is
collecting from them the purchase money
by annual instruments less In amount
than their old rents.
Mr.. O'Grady reminds the farmers that

The question Of their future fortunes
az peasant proprietors has certainly been
exercising the minds Of some Irish farm
ers in a very different direction from
that indicated by Mr.. Standish 0'Grady.
A leading Dublin lawyer told the Asso-
ciated Press representative that he had
been demonstrating with local Sim
Fein leader in the country, an inAuen
tial farmer, as to his attitude towards
the war, and asking him what he sup
posed his position would be if the Ger
mans won the war and came to Ireland
The reply he got was that If the Ger
mans completely overthrow the British
government, the Irish farmers would be
no worse off and might be better; there
would no longer be any legal authority
to collect the land instruments, the Ger
mans might remit them, and leave them
the land for nothing. The Sim Fein
