At the Palace Tomorrow.

Mae Marsh, the quaint star of the
screen, will appear in her third Gold
wyn picture, "The Cinderella Man,
from Oliver Morosco's famous stage
success by Edward Childs Carpenter
at the Palace theatre tomorrow. The
wistful appeal of Mae Marsh, known
wherever motion pictures are shown
finds remarkable opportunity in the
strong human interest situations OF
Mr.. Carpenters moving story. Ever
the "girl of a thousand faces" it is
another Mae Marsh who awakens
heart. throbs in "The Cinderella Man,
than the Mae Marsh who is deliohtina

classic of the bic top, "Pooly of the
Circus and Sunshine Alley" from
the story of Mary Rider The amaz-
ing versatility of Miss Marsh, which
changes her characterizations so rad
ically from play to play, makes ''The
Cinderella Man" quite as refreshing
as anything she has ever done.

HERE'S A TRUE GHOST STORY
ABOUT MEN AGERlE OF CIRCUS

"It's kind O. hard to imagine ghost
STORY coming out of a menagerie," said
the head animal man of the Sells
lFloto Circus, which will exhibit at
lei Centro soon, "but | know of one
that came out of lions den years
ago. | was with show in the South
playing stands week at clip. We
used to let the lions out nights to
exercise in the steel arena. They
would stretch, walk about, gossip and
roll. But the first night on one flc'-
.da lot they gave the night man the
surprise of his life. Those lions were
digging themselves in. Yes, sir, the
night man found 'em burrowing into
he ground faster than a dog goes
lfter buried bone. 1t was a puZzler.
We couldn't understand it. Nobody
ever heard of lion digging into the
ground. Hyenas do it, but lions
never. We had to r'm the beasts
back into their cages. We tramped
down the ground and covered 1t with
sand and sawdust. The next night
we let 'em out again The confound-
ed lions started digging faster than
ever. And they were mean. NO one
dared 90 into the arena with them
Unless he had a club in each hand.
Back into their cages we ran 'em and
everybody gave it up, Finally. we told
some of the natives about 1t. one
old timer gave Us the cue. Our lot
was on the old town graveyard site.
It was thought all the bodies had beer
emoved years before, but we knew
hat at least one had been overlooked:
We moved the show away from there.
There are eighteen full grown hons
and lionesses with the Sells-Floto Cir
Gus, including two of the finest black
named Nubian male lions in the
world. They are the rarest of rare
specimens. All will be seen IN the
two-mile street parade. There are
beasts from every continent in this
red white and blue and gold pageant.

ELECTRIC WORK FOR BLIND.
Useful Employment Provided for Sol
diers Losing Sight.

GCorrespondence Associated Press.l
London, May 28.-Blinded soldiers OF
France and Great Britain are being
taught to earn their livings doing cleo
trical construction following The sys-
tenn originated by an American, iDr.
Schuyler S. Wheeler, who recently re-
turned to New York after spending
three months here and IN France in
PRODUCING the work.
In it's present stage the blind are
taught to insulate coils for motors and
dynamos and do certain amount Of
assembling. DR.. Wheeler founded a
blind workroom for this work about a
year ago in Ampere, N. T., where he
is president of a large concern manu-.
featuring electrical machinery.
When it became known that the blind
were able to do the work and earn good
livings in competition with sighted
workers." the French government in
vited DR.. Wheeler to come to France
and teach the blinded soldiers. Suisse
quently, through Sir Arthur Pearson,
the British authorities invited DR..
Wheeler to come to England.
In France two large electrical work
rooms have been started for the blind
ed soldiers. The French brach Of q
large American electrical manufactur-
ing company has founded one at their
works in; Neuilly-sur- Marne. where
more than 500 will be installed. Rene

WAR TIDE is TURNING.
Italian Victory Considered Guarantee
of German Failure,

Washington, June 28-The great
victory won by the Italian army over
the Austrian forces along the whole
front of the Piave, from the Montello
to the Adriatic, is regarded by military
experts here as the turning Of the tide
in favor of ultimate victory for the
arms of the entente allies.
1t is not expected that the demorali-
Zation of the Austrians will end the
war in 1918, as some enthusiasts were
inclined to predict in their joy over the
Italian victory, and military men pre-
fer to believe that it will run into 1920
before there can be achieved that kind
of lasting peace with victory for which
President Wilson and entente states
men are determined to contend.
But the failure of the Austrians to
break thru the Italian lines in the be-
ginning, followed now by the rout of
the Austrian forces which had crossed
the Piave or obtained a toe hold on the
pivotal point of the Montello are re-
garded as very important achievements
won in a spectacular way that is cal
culated to instill new spirit into the
morale Of the entente forces along the
whole fighting front from the channel
ports to the Adriatic.
What has occurred along the Piave
is now accepted as a guarantee that
the great German offensive will fail
and General Foch will be able to hold
the Germans until American military
power can be put overseas for the de-
livery Of its full strength, giving the
entente a superiority Of fighting power
over the forces Of the central powers.

Allied Capitals
Favor Joint Driue
Against Austria

Washington. June 2S-The "ltallan
idea'-the plan of striking vital DO"
at Germany thru Austria II m
TO which l directed attention last week.
is rapidly gaining ground.
An official dispatch from ParlS 10
the French embassy, received here To-
dav, gives the distinct impression that
the French public is being prepared
for an allied drive against Austria. The
Italians brilliantly have opened the
way for this military stroke anu y
would seem that at last Paris ana Lon
don. as well as Washington, nave
awakened to the possibilities OF exert
ing the allied strength where 1t Will 40
the most good. instead OF continually
battering away on the strong German
positions in France and Belgium.
There was the further far-reachlnS
suggestion here tonight that if the al
lies should prove successful in Austria
the way would be clearly opened for
dealing with the Russian situation. The
taking of Vienna, for instance, would
permit the allies to treat at once with
the 100000 or 100000 Czecho- SlaVs,
and in the north with the Poles and
thus get into immediate touch with
Russia.
Unlimited Field Opened
The Importance of this means of
Immediately communicating with Rus
STA of being able TO hold out tangible
help to Russia can not be overempha-
sized A plunge thru Austria now, it
is believed, would find thousands upon
thousands of the oppressed people
foCking to the allied standards. The
possibilities of the situation open up
such an unlimited field for allied ac-
complishments that the proponents Of
the italian idea" fairly explode with
enthusiasm when discussing it. 1t GER
tainly seems to offer a way out for
the allies, far and beyond anything
they have yet attempted in war
which has always found Germany TAX
ing the initiative.
The French newspapers are urging
that the allies consider now that they
have but one front, all the way from
the English channel to the Adriatic;
that they shall consider The Italian
front as really the right wing of the
allied armies IN Europe. and that the
advantages this right wing has gained
shall be followed up Immediately with
a powerful thrust against the broken
forces Of the Emperor Charles.
Allied Blow Invited.
The military authorities in Washing
ton, while they have no disposition to
offer strategical advice to General Foch
or any of the other members of the
allied councils are nevertheless almost
a unit in agreeing that the situation in
the dual mOnarchy-political and mill
tary-fairly cries out for an allied
blow. They regard the defeat of the
Austrian armies along the Piave as the
most hopeful situation in the war
but, being far removed from the field
of battle they are inclined to be eau
tiOus in predicting the manner in which
the Italians or the allies may be able
g folio" up the splendid opportunity
for telling blow against the central
powers.

to such an extent that German bases

Another reason Gjveh for intervention
was that the communism preached by

Official figures show there are
about 1000 German subjects held as
prisoners of war or enemy aliens in
the United States, and renewed inter-
est in their treatment by the govern
ment has been oCcaSoined by recent
German propo ganda and threats from
Berlin of reprisals against Americans
held in Germany.
The Germans held in the United
States are di ,ided into three classes
prisoners of war, dangerous enemy
aliens and Undesirable enemy aliens or
commercial prisoners as they usual
ly are designated by the war depart
ment
1t is the general belief that many
more than 5000 Germans are held IN
internment camps in this country, out
the fact is that not more than l,oo'
enemy aliens have been ordered sent
to the camps by the department OF
justice which is charged with the adj

Many thousands of cases have been

BIG INCREASE IN OUTPUT.
British Munitions Factories Respond
NobIy 10 Heavy Demand.

Bedford England, May 25.-(By
MaiD. = The munition factories Of
Great Britain responded nobly to the
heavy demand for increased fighting
material resulting from the present
great German offensive, according to
F. G. Kellaway, parliamentary secre-
tary to the ministry Of munitions. De-
liveries Of guns, he told the Liberal
Club, exceeded the estimates by 80 per
cent, while deliveries Of gun carriages
were 60 per cent greater than before.
There was a great demand for in
creased supplies of a particular kind
of shell but there was sufficient on
hand to supply this from stock. Tho
horse artillery after long inaction sud-
denly was called upon for a most ac-
tive kind of service and consequently
an immense increase in the output OF
ammunition for that branch Of the
service was necessary. The work
shops, Mr.. Kellaway said. rallied mag
nificently and by the end of April the
weekly output had increased 800 per
cent. The production of machine guns,
small arms and rifles increased pro-
portionately.
All this, Mr.. Kellaway added, was
accomplished in spite Of the fact that
for the month previous to the offensive
an average Of $3.50 men were released
per week for the army and for the first
month of the offensive this figure was
increased to 5000 per week.
At meeting Tor enrolling women
for the land army. Mr.. Kellaway said
that since the beginning Of the war
there had been two great pieces Of
constructive work. One was that of
munitions and the other agriculture.
With regard to the former the women
had done splendidly The excavation
work at one Of the most important
Notifications on the northeast coast
was carried out by f1sher-women from
the eastern part Of Scotland. They,
said Mr.. Kellaway. had been the sure
shield and buckler Of Great Britain and
he did not believe they would return to
the useless occupations SO many occu-
pied before the war as there would be
room for them and the men in repair
ing the ravases Of war.
