At the Strand.


1.-THE World For Sale a story that
breathes the very essence of the out
of-doors and the charm of gypsy lore,
together with an interesting love story,
with Ann Little and Conway Tearle IN
the leading roles is on at the Strand.
The scenes are laid in Canada and
deal with the feud between two small
townships one French Canadian, the
other strongly English, as well as with
the adventures of Max Ingolby, who is
one of the three men in love with
charming Fleda Druse, the heroine. How
Ingolby wins out, altho Handicapped by
the temporary loss of his eyesight and
the deep hatred of his two rivals,
makes a very interesting play.
Ann Little is winsome heroine and
does we'll III the character OF tieda
Druse, alto she has appeared to some
what better advantage in some of her
former pictures. Conway Tearle, who
takes the part of Max 1ngolby, the
strong man of brains and Drawn, gives
a pleasing Interpretation of the diff
cult role. The rest of the cast is in
good hands.
The comedy offering, Alice Howell in
Her Bareback Career proved to be
such a poor and unsatisfactory picture
that the management cancelled it. The
Burton Holmes travel picture was UNI
usually good and interesting.

AMUSEM ENTS.
At the Casino.

"The Mark of Cain" featuring Mrs
Irene (Vernon) Castle, is being shown
at the Casino. The story is not partlc-
ularly interesting and the plot contains
nothing either new or striking, and the
development of the story has nothing
out of the ordinary to commend it.
It is the old theme of murder and in
trigue, in which "doctored" will fig
ures. The hero, Kane Langdon, is
falsely accused of numbering his uncle,
Rowland Trowbridge, following a quar-
rel because of his refusal to finance q
mining venture to the extent of $4,000.
About the most exciting moment in the
play is the hero's getaway following
his accusation of the murder at the
coroner's inquest. But, of course the
hero finally is cleared and the heroine,
Alice, is delivered from a distasteful
marriage with the villain, Judge Hoyt.

actress, and her value as a drawing

CHAPTER TX.
Suicide Annex.


was In my first dugout and looked
around curiously. Over the door of
same was little sign reading "Sui-
eide Annex" One Of the boys told
me that this particular front trench
was called Suicide Ditch" Later ON
I learned that machine gunners and
bombers are known as the Suicide
Club"
That dugout was muddy. The men
slept in mud, washed in mud, ate mud,
and dreamed mud. had never before
realized that so much discomfort and
misery could be contained in those
three little letters, NJ U D. The floor
Of the dugout was an inch deep In
water. Outside 1t was raining cats and
dogs, and thin rivulets were trickling
down the steps. From the air shaft
Immediately above me came a drip,
drip, drip. Suicide Annex was hole
eight feet wide, ten feet long and six
feet high. It was about twenty feet
below the fire trench; at least there
were twenty steps leading down to it.
These steps were cut into the earth
but at that time were muddy and slip
perry. A man had to be very careful
or else he would "shoot the chutes."
The air was foul, and you could cut
the smoke from Tommy's flags with a
knife. 1t was cold. The walls and
roof were supported with heavy square
cut timbers, while the entrance was
strengthened with sandbags. Nails had
been driven into these timbers. On
each nail hung q miscellaneous assert
ment of equipment. The lighting ar
rangements were superb-one candle
In reflector made from an ammuni-
ton tin. My teeth were chattering
from the cold, and the drip from the
airshaft did not help matters much.
While I was sitting bemoaning my
fate and wishing for the fireside at
home, the fellow next TO me, who was
writing letter, looked up and inno'

Bag, and Smile, Smile, Smile
Every now and then the singer
would stop to cough, cough. cough, but
1t was good illustration of Tommy's
cheerfulness under such conditions.
A machine-gun officer entered the
dugout and gave me hard look. I
sneaked past him, sliding and slipping,
and reached my section of the front
line trench, where was greeted by
the sergeant, who asked me, "Where
In - ave you been?"
I made no answer, but sat on the
muddy fire step, shiverlng with the
cold and with the rain beating in my
face. About half an hour later I
teamed up with another fellow and
went on guard with my head sticking

that they had visited and so robbed

THE WESTERN BATTLE FRONT
Has Been Materially Shortencd-Ad-
vantageous to the Allies.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Allied sue
cesses on the Marne, in Picardy and
in Flanders in recent operations have
resulted in a contraction Of the west
ern battle front by more than fifty
miles. Gen. March, chief OF staff, to-
day announced. The allies in en-
gagements conducted this week, he
added have maintained theil> pos
session of the initiative by making
attacks on limited fronts and at
widely separated points.
At the beginning of the German
offensive in March the battle front in
France measured $50 miles; to-day
it is less than 200 miles in length,
and the latest British gains are re-
ducing it further. Gen. March said
he was without official confirmation
Of the results of the British advance
north of the Scarpe, and therefore
would refrain from comment.
Summarizing the results Of recent
operations he points out that the
Flanders salient has been fiattened
out by the enemy retiring from one
to two miles on a 14-mile front; on
the plains Of Roye the line had been
put we'll back of the old 1867 line,
and between the Aisne and the Disc
the French have carried the line for
ward four miles to the plains sur
rounding the city Of Noyon, which is
four miles beyond.
Capture Of the town Of Frapelle, in
the Vosges, the chief of staff said,
had resulted in the elimination of a
very sharp salient. This operation
was carried out by the fifth American
division, which has been under Major
Gen. John e. MaMahon.
Thirty-two American divisions
have arrived in France, Gen. March
said. They are the First to Sixth, in
elusive, of Regulars; the 26th, 9th,
2Sth, 29th, 30th, 32d, SD, seth,
37th, 41st and 42d National Guard,
and the 10th to SD, inclusive, and
the S5th, 89th, 91st, 92d, 93d Ma
tional Army.
Transportation Of troops under the
enlarged military program is depend
ent in the main upon the ability of
the government to secure adequate
shipping, Gen. March frankly said.
While the Shipping Boards deliver
les we're constantly growing, more
tonnage will have to be chartered
and hired to carry out the present
schedule. Gen. March mentioned in
cidentally that Brazil had given the
without compensation.
