AN ENGLISH PORT, Sept. 31.-- Correspondence of The Associated Press)-Day after day the steady stream of American soldiers pours through this port, en route to France. Never was the town so busy; never of new faces. Most of these men, from the far-off States, have been in England only few days at the most. They land in the North, they hurry across John Bulls little Island and then are off again, across the silver waters of the Channel, for their "ul- innate destination"
 The scene at the docks here is always one of great interest for the privileged few who are permitted to witness it. All day long the great troop-ships are loading and depart ing. The process is a repid one. everything moves with military pre-. cision.
 Five minutes before the troop-ship starts, there is long warning blast on the siren. Soon the big ship slowly veers away from the pier and heads for the open water, it's rails lined with klfaki-clad Americans Outside another troop-ship is wait ing and the transport faals into line behind it's companion.
 Out of the nowhere three British destroyers suddenly appear and take up position, one in front and one on either side of the transports. High above the horizon gleams the silver body of a patrol airship, which with the destroyers will accompany the Americans to their destination. No submarine can creep along the sea bottom without these aerial observ- CTS detecting it's approach, and wireless call to the eager destroyers will bring about it's destruction or speedy withdrawal. The Germans have long since learned the dangers of these narrow seas, and very sel- dom venture within them.

FILM THIEVES ROUNDED UP.

Burns detectives employed by the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation have succeeded, after five months of hard work, in rounding up gang Iof film thieves and smugglers. w. c. Thompson, operating under the name of the Royal Cinema Co.,, at |145 West Forty-tifth street, New York, confessed to the district at torney that he had procured stolen films from Seattle firm. The National Government became inter- ested and directed a raid through the Military Intelligence bureau in which Casimiro Gonzales and Tony i.ucchesse were captured at tEe Forty-fifth street address. They are charged with smuggling film out of the country, conviction of which involves a sentence of 20 years in the penitentiary. A num- ber of smaller fry are involved. A very large amount of stolen film has been smuggled out of the country recently, but it is believed that the gang is now pretty thoroughly bro ken up.

A Woman In the Church.


And there was woman in the
church There always is-one who
stands apart, distinct, diferent-in the
community but not with it, in the
church but not of it.
The woman in Davids church was Of
a languorous, sumptuous type, built on
generous proportions, with a mass of
dark hair waving low on her forehead,
with dark, STRENGTHENING, deep-reach-
ing eyes, the kind that impel and hold
all truant glances She Was slow In
movement, suggesting beautiful and
commendable laziness- In public she
talked very little, laughing never. but
often smiling-a curious smile that
curved one corner Of her lip and drew
down the tip Of one eyes. She had
been married, but no one knew any
thing about her husband. She was a
member Of the church, attended with
most scrupulous regularity, assisted
generously in a financial way, was ON
good terms with every one, and had
not one friend in the congregation
The women were afraid of her. So
were the men. But for different rea-

Carol tossed her blue-ribboned
curly head, and the warm approval IL
David's eyes cooled little.
| What did she have to say?" he
asked curiously.
ooh, she talked lot about being
broad, and generous, and not allowing
environment totwarf one. She thinks
It is shame TOR a-a-girl of my

and artists, and musicians-folks like
that. They have informal meetings
take me. She says / will enjoy them
and that they will adore me-"
Carols voice swelled with triumph,
and David's approval turned to ice
"6he must have liked me- or she
wouldn't have been SO friendly. She
laughed at the Heights-she called 1t
little, money-saving, heart-squeez-
ing, church-bound neighborhood.' She
said must study new thoughts and
read the new poetry, and run out with
her to grip souls with real people now
and then, to keep my star from tar
nishing. I didn't understand all she
said. but it sounded irresistible. Oh,
she was lovely to me-"
"She shouldn't have talked to you
like that" protested David quickly.
"She ts not fair to our people. She
can not understand them because they
live sweet, simple lives where home
and church are throned. New thought
is not necessary to them because they
are full of the old, old thought of train
ing their babies, and keeping their
homes, and worshiping God. And I
know the kind of people she meets
down town-a sort of high class b.
hemia where everybody fiirts with
everybody else in the name of art.
You wouldn't care for It."
Carol adroitly changed the subject
and David said no more.
The next day, quite accidentally, she
met Mrs. Waldemar on the corner and
they had a soda together at the drug
store. That night after prayer meet
ing David had to tarry for deacons'
meeting, and Carol and Mrs. Waldo
mar sauntered off alone, arm in arm,
and waited in Mrs. Waldemar's ham
mock until David appeared.
And David did not see anything
wonderful in the dark, deep eyes at
all-they looked downright wicked to
him. He took Carol away hurriedly
and questioned her feverishly to find
out IL Mrs. Waldemar had put any
fresh nonsense into her pretty little
head.
