PLAZA

Under the auspices Of the United
States government, the Committee on
Public Information will offer at the
Plaza theatre commencing this after
noon the first official United States

esting scenes showing the progress be-
ing made in shipbuilding, aeroplane

EMPIRE

For more than thirty years, the
plays of Henrik Ibsen have held a dig
nified place on the stage in this coun-
try and abroad. One of the more no
table of these dramatic creations of
this Norwegian master dramatist was
"a Dolls House." which was produced
in London in 1889, and which served
later In this country as the starring
vehicles of the leading opponents OF
the Ibsen school of dramatic acting
and thought. "A Dolls House" was
picturized for Aircraft under the d.
rection of Maurice Tourneur and with
Elsie Ferguson as the star, 1t will be
displayed at the Empire theatre today
and tomorrow.
This is a realistic story of a doll

bands life, and who falls into the tolls

NeurOtic Men Are
Cured In France

A Chateau in Lorraine, July IL
American soldiers suffering from shell
shock now are hurried in the short
est pc ssible time to base hospital es-
tabi'sbed here for the special treat
ment of such cases. The element of
time is regarded by the specialists at
tached to this hospital as a prime i'm
portance. Efforts are made to deliv-
er such cases to the hospitals within
forty-eight hours after the first synlp-
toms develop A special ambulance
service has been organized for that
purpose. Once here, the shocked
soldier remains here until the treat
ment Of his case is finished.
If the nervous trouble Of a patient
results from conclusion or from the
strain of service, it is durable here.
If it is not durable, it is because the
case was not brought here soon
enough or because it had a chronic
foundation before the patient went
into the army. Nervous symptoms
resembling what has been called shell
shock have developed under the sim
pie strain of service in soldiers who
have never heard a shell explode.
Base Hospital 1T treats both these
aspects of war neurosis, and only &C.
ccrding to the highest standards OF
neurological science. Hypnosis is
seldom used. No dangerous expert
ments are allowed and isolation is MOI
followed excepting as simple ware
routine. The patients are kept to.
gether and the nurses are kept with
them, giving their company as we'll a!

part of the cure.
The patients, themselves, when the,
have recovered sufficiently become ex
of1cio members of the staff, co-ope
rate with the doctors and nurses il
helping the other boys out of the;
mrddled condition of mind and thei
unsteady state Of nerves.
The most obvious part of the treat
ment is the use of tools or the instru
ments of sport. A shaking hand tina

advantage Of occupying the min

EskimOs Want Names
Desire That Future Generations MAY
Trace Ancestors.

Eskimos are not able to trace their
ancestors back for more than a gem
Grafton or two because the Eskimo
names do not run from generation to
generation, and in every Eskimo fam
lily each person has separate name.
This is pointed out by Charles Men
adalook, an Eskimo teacher writing
in a recent issue of THE Eskimo" the
only publication issued for the benefit
of his race. The magazine is edited
by Arthur Shields, former New York
neWspaperman, who is stationed at
Nome, Alaska, where his brother is
superintendent of schools for the
Northwest district. Mr. Shields is at
tempting the novel idea of having the
Esk1mos write of their own customs
Menadalook, who is a teacher at
Kotzehue, says that the Eskimos call
themselves 'Enupeak."
1--WE learn that name from our
forefathers," he continued. "It means
a real human being White people
are called Nalluakmeult,' which
means in English, people who come
from white tan sealskfn.' Our fore
fathers gave the white people that
name because of the color of their
| skin, but called themselves Enupeak
or real human beings
Let US try to be 'Enupeak' in every
right way we can. One way is to
have an 'Enupeak' surname. We are
| not real people because we have nc
| 'Enupeak' surnames. In every Eski.
mo family each person has a separate
name, so we cannot trace our fore
fathers generation. We know only

GERMAN PRESS
SAYS RETREAT
IS NECESSARY
Newspaper Says America
Will Soon Have First
Glass Arnv in France.

Paris, Aug. 19.---The German press
is attempting to reassure its public
that a general retreat is necessary on
the western front to allow Gen. Lu-
dendorff room to manoeuvre and to
assume the initiative on a vast scale.
A German retreat, the newspapers
say, would be a direct result of the
recent Allied successes. The news
papers asert that even if the Ger
mans receive reinforcements from
Austria they have lost the power to
command events, as Marshal F'och has
the initiative and will keep it.
German propaganda insists that the
German general staff will retain the
initiative by forcing premature en-
gagements on the American army and
thus wearing it out before it is fully
prepared. LHomme Libre says the
American forces taking part in the
PicardX offensive could not be COM
pared in size with those of the French
and British. 1t says America soen
will have a first class army in France
and that it will have aeroplanes which
the German aviators will have reason
to fear

our great grandfather's name, be-
cause there is no family surname.
1--WE may be given a name by white
people, but that will not be a real
name to US, as we are 'Enupeak' We
must use our Enupeak' name for our
last name. If we have no 'Enupeak'
name, our name will sink as a stone
when we throw it into the water. And
then our next generation will hardly
know our name.
''If we try to change our name into
English names entirely our Enupeak'
name will be peluk somesday. I will
have my boy sign his name by my
name if he becomes a man, and then
my name will run from generation
to generation. Then if one of my
family does good deeds people will
know what family he belongs to-"

YANKEE A|RMEN
BOMB THE HUNS
ST. M!HIEL VICTORY DUE IN
PART TO THE SKILL OF
AMERICAN AVIATORS.
Swoop Down Into Woodland Roads,
Attacking Transport Trains, Fly
ing as Low as Forty Feet From
Ground to Reach Quarry.

With the Army in France.-Alagnifi-
cent work of the American ayiators
under most difficult weather cOndi-
tions must not be forgotten in telling
the story of the ST. Mihiel victory. To
them was entrusted every kind of mis-
sion which falls to a flying mans lot,
but the task in which they dis
tinguished themselves most, perhaps,
was harassing the enemy's withdrawal
from the deepest part of the salient.
A careful study had been made of
the roads by which the German trans
port must move, and these observa-
tons turn out to be strikingly accur-
ate, showing that the Germans had
thought out quite as carefully as the
Americans the exact spot which would
remain open longest. This was the
gap between Figneulles and Tniau-
court, with St Benoit as the center. 1t
thus happened that the American air
men found the transport trains exactly
where they expected TO find them. and
their attempts to enforce delay We're
most daring.
Owing to the weather conditions the
ceiling to use the airman's technical
term, was little more than thousand
feet high. and the dense rain occas-
ionally made everything invisible a
few yards away, but not one of the
selected roads was left unattached
The aviators swooped down into the
woodland roads. flying only forty feet
from the ground TO make sure of their
targets. Lorry after lorry was
wrecked and wagon teams torn 10
pieces by skilfully dropped bombs or
machine gun fire

AUSTRIA SUBMITS
PEACE PROPOSAL
WOULD HAVE EXCHANGE OF
VIEWS LOOKING TOWARD
FINAL NEGOTIATIONS
Suggests That There Be No Interrupt
ton of War and That Discussion
Go on So Far as Considered to
Offer Prospects of Success.

Amsterdam.-In extending an invita-
| ton to all the belligerent governments
to enter into non-binding discussions
at some neutral meeting place, the
Austro-Hungariap government stated
that the object of the conference
would be to secure an exchange OF
views which would show whether
those prerequisites exist which would
make the speedy Inauguration of peace
negotiations appear promising"
The Austrian proposal, which is an
nounced in an official communication
telegraphed here from Vienna. sug-
gests that there be no interruption sof
the war, and that the discussions
would go only so far as considered by
the participants TO offer prospects OF
success"
The proposal calls for all the bellig-
erents to send delegates for a "confl-
Dental and unbinding discussion on
the basic principles for the conclusion
of peace, in place in neutral coun-
try and at near date that would yet
have to be agreed upon
The proposal says the conference
would be one of delegates who would
be charged to make known to one an
other the conception of their govern
ments regarding those principles and
TO receive analogous communications,
as well as to request and give frank
and candid explanations on all those
points which need to be precisely de-
fined"
The government announces that
note embodying its suggestions had
been addressed to the various bellig-
erent powers and that the holy see had
been appraised of the proposal in spe-
cial note. The governments OF the
neutral states also had been made ae-
quainted with the proposal.
