Many entertaining numbers are on
Keith's bill this week. Phyllis Neil
son-Terry. the English actress, was
heard last night in three songs and
two recitations which are SO good as
to warrant her position as the top
liner in a vaudeville bill. Her voice
is not robust in quality. but sweet.
Her fourth number. 'tCouplets du Ny
soli," carried the house by storm and
in answer to the persistent recalls
she gave two recitations that marked
her as an exceptional elocutionist.
At the conclusion of her efforts, Miss
Terry was given long-continued ap-
plause.
Charley Grapewin and Anna Chance
are back with a new sketch entitled
"Jed's Vacation" which is "a scream.
Grapewin is comedian Of versatility
and his every bid goes over the foot
lights with a punch that is rewarded
with shout Of laughter.
Two good dancing numbers are
given by Lois Josephine and Tyler
Brooke, and Kalmer and Brown, the
latter couple making up as bugs.
Other acts include Espe and Dutton
in dancing, juggling and gymnastics;
the Brightons, in making pictures
from rags; Beatrice Herford: Kate

Ukrainian troops are preparing to sur

Polish forces are in control. Tho
Ukrafnians are said to have already
cut the railroad and are being REIN
forced by sufficient troops returning
from the Italian front to make fight

The Ukrainians deny that they are
bolshevists, but say that when the
Austrian empire was broken up they
felt they had a right to the capital
city Of Lemberg, the Poles having
other capitals. Difficulties are also
anticipated between the Poles and
Czechs over the possession Of Oder
berg, town in Austrian Silesia.
Conditions in Galicia and Silesia
are said to be worse than they were
during the war. The several newly
organized republics are gaining re-
cruits from soldiers returning from
the various fronts and are paying
them several dollars per day for fight

ABODE says: The appointment of
Thomas j. Chope to fill this position
is a natural one. and will meet with
general approval. Not only has he
worked at every position in the mines
from miner to foreman of one of the
largest mines in Butte, but he has also
filled many offices in the miners union
in such a manner as to gain the con-

During the time that he acted as
shift boss, assistant foreman, and
foreman, he never had a man killed

VIOLENCE OF BoMsARDMENr.
Five Million Shells Expended by Huns
on Small Part Of Front.
CFrom the New York Times. }

(From the New York Times)
AS showing the violence of the re-
cent German attack on one of the
sectors held by French troops, Philip
Gibbs quotes an officer who lived
through it as saying: "There were 10
big shells second, and that lasted,
with only two short pauses, for six
days, all through the battle. and
other shells We're uncountable."
For the exact mathematical accur-
acy of this statement-of big shells"
alone it figures out at over 5000, 900
probably neither Mr.. Gibbs nor his
informant would vouch, but, on the
other hand, this correspondent is not
himself given to eXaggeration or to
transmitting eXaggerations by others
His assertion can, therefore, be ac-
cepted as essentially true, and when
so accepted it gives a new and clearer
conception of the colossal scale on
which this war is now conducted.
1t means not only that something
like 100000 shells deserving to be
called heavy were expended by the
Germans in smaA part of the long
front, every mile of which was under
bombardment little less than contin-
uous. 1t also brings to mind the inn

LABOR COMMISSIONER.
A New Position Created by the Ana
conda Copper Mining Company.

Engineering and Mining Journal)
The establishment of the office of
labor commissioner by the Anaconda
Copper Mining company at Butte,
Montana, opens up a field which, while
it may not be entirely new, will be
watched with interest by mining men
and will undoubtedly. result in the ad-
option of similar or modified bureaus
by various operators. Most mining
companies of the present day have
established some form Of welfare work
which tends to lessen the breach that
has existed in the past between miner
and employer, and the steps taken by
the Anaconda represent departure
that has the approval of both. The
purpose of this department will be to
keep in touch with the men and the
conditions surrounding the miners, so
that greater cooperation may be OBJ
tanned. All complaints Of the unions
and men will be heard, and, whenever
possible, an amicable agreement made
Immediately, so that constant bicker-
ings, petty differences, and misunder-
standings, which often develop serious
trouble, may be prevented.
The appointment of Thomas j.
Chope to this important post has met
with general commentator. Mr..
Chope has been employed at Butte
continuously since 1903, although he
came there first in 1899, but left to
take up further mining work in Utah,
Idaho, and other points in Montana.
His continuous employment in various
positions, the popular regard in which
he is held by the men. and a broad
knowledge of conditions ably fit him
for the post which he now holds. Com

The chief difficulty confronting the
United states Employment Scrvict IN
providing lab0rers for employers WHO

curing the men to help. but in finding
places for these men to live. The en-
plOyer, for instance, has sometimes
asked, please send me twenty-five
men"
I'VE can send you the men all right,
but what are you going to do with
them? Where are they to lodge and
board?" the bureau has asked.
II don't know. / haven't thought OF
that" has been the response from the
employer.
Ayres j. Stockley, secretary OF the
state Advisory Board went to Newark
yesterday to locate help for a cannery
there. He secured half dozen men
for the Ritter Conserve Company,
which has been handicapped because or
labor. which had asked for extra help
from the bureau.
Mr.. StOckley found that boarding
houses in and around Newark were full
TO capacity. The only board obtain
able for labOrers was from the hotel
at si2 a week. including lodging, or s.
a week for meals, at the restaurants.
