AT THE COLONIAL FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY

For a year the United States Gov
eminent cameramen have been busy
registering the activities of our sol
der and sailor boys on thousands of
feet of motion picture film. As re-
suit, the people of Annapolis viii have
the first chance on Friday and Satur-
day. at the Colonial Theatre, 10 see
what has been done by our boys up to
date over here and over there.
"Pershing's Crusaders" is the title
of this first official government fea-
ture film of the war, and it really con-
stitntes a motion picture history of
our first year at war. A successful
effort has been made to picture the
governments handling of the gigantic
task of preparation for war. The re-
cruiting of our army, the building of
huge environments, the clothing and
feeding of our troops, the making of
arms to equip them, the building of
enormous ship yards and the rapidity
with which ships are being built and

AT THE REpuBLIC TONIGHT

Bessie Love, who appears in the
star role of How Could You, Caro-
liner, the Pathe photoplay feature at
the Republic Theatre tonight, had a
thrilling experience during the max
ing of the picture.
In one part of the play she goes on
wild ride with a chauffeur, whom
she believes to be a gentleman in dis
guise The chauffeur is supposed to
pay so much attention to her that he
loses control of the car. and it
crashes into a tree beside the road
While this scene was being made
Miss Love played her part so well that
the chauffeur really lost control of the
car 1t crashed into a tree, all right,
but it was the wrong tree, and the
crash was more severe than anyone
bargained for.
Fortunately, the camera man was
on the job and caught the real acct
dent The filming of the rest of the
scene had to be postponed until Miss
Love and the chauffeur recovered

Kitty Gordon, the beautiful, will be
seen on the screen at the Republic
tomorrow, in 1.-The Divine Sacrifice
her newest World-Picture Brady
Made in which she is seen in the
forceful role of Mrs. Madeline Spen-
Ger. The role is one of the most pow
erful and effective which she has yet
portrayed and it gives full opportuni-
ty for the display of her splendid tai
ents.
Miss Gordon's new production tells
a most remarkable story of mother
love. 1t shows the lengths TO which
an adoring mother will go to secure
happiness and a future for her child.
Miss Gordon as the mother has most
difficult role which she handles to
perfection. All the members of the
cast have been chosen for their par
ticular abilities along the lines of the
characters they impersonate, so that
the whole cast is well-nigh perfect.
An interesting thing in connection
with the showing of this picture is
the fact that it marks the screen de-
but of Vera Beresford, the daughter
of Kitty Gordon, whose real name, by
the way, is the Honorable Lady Ber-
esford. Miss Beresford shows that
she has inherited her mothers SUI
preme talents.
One of the very pleasing features of
the picture is the beauty of the inter
Tors and exterior scenes, the exteriors
being notably beautiful OF course
the photography is of the very best
The whole production is very excep-
tional and thoroughly likable attrac-
ton and you'll enjoy it,
Make it a point to see THE Divine
| Sacrifice 1t will be well worth your
while.

Bachelor Mayor Puts A Ban Upon
Oscillations At A Station At
Scranton. Pa.

No more will soldiers passing
through Scranton, Penn, be cheered
by the thoughts of the kisses given
them by Scranton girls while the
troop trains stopped at the Lackawan-
ma station, for Mayor Connell has
called halt to the practice.
The mayor, bachelor, has issued a
statement in which he says that, while
personally he sees no harm in having
the girls kiss the soldiers, he has re-
ceived complaints galore, including
one from the leaders in the Red Cross
canteen, and on this account he has
decided to prevent further kissing.

that Germany would accede to any

Elose, son of an athletic coach a,

patoons over the top. They lost theil
way IN the fog, but finally saw some
Germans disappear into dugout.
Eight Surrender to Two
The two approached the dugout and
demanded that the occupants surrender
Eight Germans came out, and the two
Americans were taking them back when
q German barrage began. One of the
Germans suggested to his comrades
that they try to get away. They did
not know that Grovani understood Ger
man, and were surprised when he sud-
denly told them to behave themselves
or take the consequences.
One of the prisoners then offered to
show the way back to the American
line. The Americans refused to take
chances. and wandered around with
thelr eight prisoners for several hours
until they happened into the American
lines.
Private John Rawlnson, Of Kings

York division, saw a German disappear

and called on all the occupants to come

day. They became separated from their
own units going over knoll. The
Americans finally managed to reach a
dugout, with two doors, which they
entered. Germans who had seen the
American going into the dugout placed
machine guns so that they could play
on both entrances.

OF War on T Hindenburg Line
They Plunge Into Furious Desperate Struggle Fighting
Day and Night in Groups and Single Handed
Against Germans Flayed by Officers

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
THE ST. QUENTIN SECTOR, Oct. 9
(By The Associated Press ).-Ame erican
regiments fighting in the Iindenburg
line along this sector OF the front have
seen some Of the hardest fighting of
the war. 1t was furious, desperate
struggle into which they plunged.
They fought day and night in groups
and single-handed in and out of shell
holes. They showed gallantry, self
sacrifice and devotion to duty unsur-
passed by any other troops.
From the instant they leaped from
their trenches they ran into snipers
and hordes of machine guns. German
infantrymen, spurred on by their Off
GERS. stood up before them Offering
hand-to- hand combat
One Brooklyn regiment took and re-
took a position known as the "Knoll'
three times. The battle swung back
and forth, with the men so close to
each other that rifle butts were just as
effective as anything else.
On the first assault the Americans
rushed forward and suddenly met
masses of camoufaged machine guns,
which held their fire until the Ameri-
cans were close upon them. The Ger
mans did not continue their murderous
work long. A dash, leap, flash of a
bayonet and a stab of flame from 81
rifle and one nest after another was
silenced
Refuse to Leave Captain
A Brooklyn captain was isolated in a
shell hole with twelve men while all
enemy machine gun near by poured a
hot fire into the party. Finally the
captain. was wounded and ordered lis
sergeant to take the men away and
save themselves ii they could. The
sergeant started to carry out the order,
but after the men had crawlcd few
feet on all fours the sergeant asked
them.
81 think it is bad to go away and
leave the captain. Do you fellows want
to go back and stay with him?''
All answered in the affirmative. and
they crept back. They fought like wild
men and killed many of the Germans
who tried to reach them. When the
gallant party was relieved later the
only man not wounded was the SER
geant.
Little parties of Americans had sim
liar experiences in other shell craters

nent behind the line of the Scheldt.
In order to protect his retreat in
the north Ludendorff is obliged To
make desperate efforts to hold fast
IN the Cambrai-La Fere section. On
tuesday the last German supporting
line of the Hindenburg zone gave way
east of LIE Catelet, the midway point
between Cambrai and St. Quentin.
General Rawlinson's army then car
RED the so-called Beaurevoir posi-
tons, getting as far east as Seoue-
hart, into the open country toward
tho Disc River.
Ludendorff saw his peril -and re-
sponded with powerful counter at
tacks. These drove the British back
again to the west of LIE Catelet.
Yesterday, however, Rawlinson's
Australians attacked afresh on a
broad front and recovered all the
ground lost on Tuesday. They
passed BeaurevQir and reached
Waincourt, which is beyond the east
ernmost fringes of the late Hinden-
burg zone. Five thousand German
prisoners were taken. The Germans
retired toward Montbrehain, few
miles west of Bohain, which lies on
the railroad from St. Quentin north
east to LIE Cateau.
This quick and crushing counter
stroke on Rawlinson's part empha-
sizes the peril of Ludendorf's pres
ent position. If he cannot hold on
behind st. Quentin and Cambria. he
cannot cover the flank of his posi-
tlons about Laon. He cannot win
time enough to insure the safe re-
tirement of his forces in the st.
Gobain bastion and to the east of
Laon in the valley of the Aisne. The
whole structure of his defence will
fall to pieces before he can extricate
himself from it.
Every German retreat since ,Julv
10 last has been dilatory and lumber
ing. Hence, the excessive losses in
prisoners and guns. Ludendorff has
not mastered the art of retirement.
In 1914 Won Moltke the Younger got
a group Of defeated German armies
pack from below the Marne to the
north of the Aisne at maximum
speed and with scarcely any losses.
He knew where he was going and
why. Ludendorff, on the contrary
has always shown great indecision
and confusion of purpose in his re-
treats and has had to pay an enor-
nous price for these shortcomings.
Yet some mysterious influence keeps
nm IN command. For which the
New-York tribune., 1918-10-04

Allies have every reason to be thank
full. Nothing could suit Foch better
than to have Ludendorf run true to
form in the grand withdrawal to the
French and Belgian border which is
now starting.
Not only has Damascus fallen, but
Australian cavalry has just cap--
ured an enemy column seventeen
miles northeast of that city. General
Allenby's next step will be to clear
the Damascus Beirut railroad. With
Beirut as new sea base and short,
excellent rail connections from it to
the Damascus-Aleppo main line.
progress toward the latter city, the
key to the. approaches into Asia
Minor, will be easy and rapid.
New-York tribune., 1918-10-04

! Aleppo is now practically unpro-
tected. And the Turks at Constanti-
nople are thinking more of getting
,out Of the war than of defending
sAleppo.
1t was Allenby's good fortune that
he struck in Palestine when he did.
For Bulgaria's withdrawal from the
war has made Allied operations IN
Turkey-in-Asia more than ever a
'sideshow." Constantinople can nov
be reached by short march through
Thrace. In military sense it has
ceased to be defensible. And as soon
as it is seriously menaced the Young
Turks probably will hasten to follow
the self-effacing example of the
Bulgars.
