cars with rapid firers have played an
important part in checking the german
rush. Up to the time Of the present
battle they were used but little. but
in the last ten days these cars, which

have held up large bodies of german

 Miss Burke is Polly Marsden, a wealthy society girl of New York, who is un- able to choose between two men who love her and consequently become en- gagged to both at the same time To extricate herself from this tangle she announces that she will give her hand and heart to the first man who captures her, she to have an hours start i'll an automobile.

Lieutenant Roberts
 Held Prisoner Not
 Birmingham Man

Lieut.. A. M. Roberts, who was reported missing in action on July 19, is not Lieut.. A. M Roberts of Birmingham, as was at first thought, but is from Gulfport, Miss, according to press dispatch received from the war depart ment at Washington.
 When the announcement was first made that Lieut.. A. M. Roberts had been cap tured his address was given as 4o11 Alta mont Road, Birmingham. and it was thought it was Mrs. David Roberts son Lieut.. A. B. Roberts, who is known in Birmingham as Meredith Roberts.
 A letter was recently received by Mrs Roberts from her son dated August g. in which he stated he was well. Int letter. however, did not say where the lieutenant was. but Mrs. Roberts was confident that he is not in a prison camp which belief is substantiaxed by the press dispatch from Washington.
 This announcement will be read witt interest by the large circle of friends of Lieutenant Roberts in Birmingham who have been most anxious since ths first report was published.

1 1T SN'T i. delightful to discover a name in vaudeville during these parlous = times that you've ever heard of be- fore?
 I think you'll agree with me that it is, and so we'll talk about MT. Andrew Mack, who is the headliner round at the Lyric, that delightful Irish gentleman ac- tor whose name in vaudeville is to be reckoned with, as he is known and liked from east to west. from north to south.
 I had the pleasure of meeting MT. Mack last season for the first time. He was then i'll the legitimate drama playing Molly, Dear' the sparkling Irish com edy which gave him fins opportunity for his talents, and it was a genuine pleas ure to meet him, too, for all my life I'd heard of Andrew Mack" I had seen in- numerable pictures of his in his costume plays, An Irish Gentleman" From Moore," and the rest, and always rd wanted to know him and this was my first chance
 Yesterday l dropped in at the Lyric a few minutes before the matinee hour :o renew my pleasant acquaintance of last year with MT. Mack and for half hour enjoyed little chat with him.
 MT. Mac6 is the same charming, refined, dgnificd gentleman actor of other days, the same delightful raconteur, as refresh ing and bright as a fairy story after a lecture or economies, for melody and beauty ate tlie keynotes of his conversA- tion and his rare intellect and pleasing personality make him at once a pleasure and joy to meet.
 MT. Mack belongs to the Billy Scanlon- Chauncey Ollcott school, those laughing, singing. joyous, Irish actors who have done so much to elevate the stage ana bring real beauty of thought and action before the footlights.
 MT. Macks bright Irish blue eyes, his coal black Lair and his fine physique make him a striking personality anI, best of .tIi. his good humor and his keen appreciation of wit and fun go far toward. making for him the success he has at tained.
 Whenever I get back to Birmingham Mir. Mack said after greetings, T am always reminded of the first visit pal to your city some years ago, whea O'Brien's opera house was the fashion

able theatre. I recall wildly one of the most amusing incidents that I ever heara in the theatre. Twas here with a wonder full production, which Augustin Daily sent out with Ada Rehan and one of his in comparable casts. The week before, Thomas keene had been the attraction in Shakespearean repertoire. MT. Keene had played as his premier offering, "Othello," one of his greatest roles, by the way, ard the stage manager who was talking to mo about the celebrated trage- dian's engagement said he wanted to tell me a story which he considered very humorous. He went on to say that there was negro employed at the theatre who was very fond of seeing the shows, so whenever he finished his duties early enough he (the stage manager) always got ticket for him and sent him up to a certain seat in the front row in the gal : lery. The night MT. Keene played "Othello'' tie negro occupied his accus- toned seat and after the second act ne went downstairs and went back of the stage. The stage manager asked him how he liked the show, thinking, of course that the swarthy Moor would make deep impression upon him. The negro stopped for a moment and. scratching his head, said: Floss, eff dat nigger don't sing and dance sum buffore dis heah show Is ovah, dar ain't gwine ter be nobody tall heah tornorI ow night. Nav, sir!'
 And, speaking of negro stories," MT. Mack coutrued, q heard a very clever one the other day about the war. IL seems that two negroes were talking and one asked the other how much money he'd given to the war. The second speak CT replied .Nuthin tall!' Well. youd better get busy, kaze eff you don't sorEe body's gwine ter tek what you got erway frum you Nav dey won't said the other. 'Ain't you gwine give nuthin' ter de Red Gross, ner de Liberty Loan, nor nuthin', man?' Nav, drawled the other. 'an' nobody can't tek nuthing' frum me, neither :Xas dey kim observed the other negro. De Presiden' kin tek enny thing you got erway rum you Nav. sir objected. the other. De Presiden' ner ly can't tek nuthin' erway from nobody else' Hump, man. replied the negro who had started the controversy. Didn't de Presiden' done go an tek de railroads rum de gentlemum what owned
