GIRL OF MY HEART"

"Girl of My Heart" Perry J.
Kelly's new musical play will be the
attraction at the Opera House on
Monday. April 22nd.
The book and lyrics are by Ar
thur J. Lamb and the music by
Jules Chauvenet. 1t is ultra-modern
and typically American in it's view,
point. Joyous youth is the keynote
Of it's construction, and merriment,
laughter and love are it's chief char
acteristics. The management has
chosen to tell little of the story,
deeming it better to leave the sur
prises to be discovered BY the audi
ence when it is seen, but it is re-
lated by that the plot is concerned
with the adventures of a dashing
American girl whose beauty, wit
and daring carry her successfully
through a maze of entanglements
which threaten disaster. 1t is not
serious enough to tax the mind un-
necessarily, but just a succession Of
merry scenes punctuated by mo-
ments of intense love interest. Chief
among the lifting melodies furnished
by Jules Chauvenet are "Mabel,"
Girl of My Heart, "Twenty Ways
to Kiss a Maid" "Linger by the
Fountain" "When Cannon Boom"
"You Mustn't Fish in My Fish
Pond" "Give Them Hail Columbia"
"My. Absent One," "Marricd Life
Looks Good to Me-"
For the Interpretation Of the play
the producer has secured the ser
vices of Eda Ann Luke to fill the
role of Mabel Splendid. Other men,
bers of the cast include Vertner
Saxton, Florence Beresford, William
J.. Mccarthy, Charles W. Meyers,
Lois Arnold, Walter Ware, Thomas
F. Reynolds, and Frank MacEwqn.
There is a chorus of melody maids
to add to the gaiety of the piece.
The action of the play is laid in New
York City and Japan and the pro-
duction is mounted lavishly.
Admission, so, 75c. $1.0O and
$3.50. Plus war tax. Seats or
sale now.

felt the butt in the holster. 1 crawled
around in circles and at last found 1t,
then started on my way back to our
trenches, as I thought.
Pretty soon I reached barbed wire,
and was just going to give the pass
word when something told me not to.
I put out my hand and touched one of
the barbed wire stakes. 1t was iron.
The British are of wood, while the
German are iron. My heart stopped
beating; by mistake I had crawled
back to the German lines.
I turned slowly about and my tunic
caught on the wire and made a loud
ripping noise.
. A sharp challenge rang out. ]
sprang to my feet, ducking low, and
ran madly back toward our lines. The
Germans started firing. The bullets
were biting all around me, when bang
I ran smash into our wire, and q sharp
challenge, "'Alt, who comes thereT'
rang out. 1 gaSped out the password,
and, cropping my way through the lane

was safe, but l was a nervous wreck
for an hour, until q drink Of rum
brought me round.

V0RWAEpTS DEGREES RAIN OF STEEL
 FOB PURITY
SAYS INSPIRED WRITINGS OF GERMANS AT OPENING OF WAR REGARDING PURITY TO BE BRED BY CONFLICT HAVE BEEN PROVEN WRONG BY CRIME

NEW YORK. Aug 7-CCorrespond- ence of The Associated Press)-War has caused an increase Of crime and deprayity among the German people, according to an analysis published by the Berlin Vorwaerts. The paper re calls that at the beginning of the war. prophets spoke of a steel bath" in the waters Of which the morals of the Ger man people would recuperate.
 Since August 4, 1914" says the VOr- waerts, we have allowed the bless ings Of this bath to act on us with steadily increasing vigor and the re- suit is a moral condition of health Of the German people of which the com pilatiOns of criminal statistics give con vincing reports. These tell us of the steadily increasing number of crimes of brutality. and serious crimes against property and a glance at any newspap- CT confirms the horribly increasing number of robberies and burglaries in the cities and as well as in rural dis tricts Systematically organized and methOdically operating bands of rob bers menace continually life and prop erty of respectable citizens.
 Also honesty of the latter has sui fered a perceptible "crack" and here the influence of the steel bath is di- rectly proved. We do not fear that we are disclosing any state-endanger- ing secret when we announce the fact that at present there probably are few German subjects left who have not in some more or less serious manner viO- lated the existing government decrees and laws and made themselves liable to punishment"
 The Vorwaertts, then cites the in- stances of the citizen, who on Sundays goes to the country to buy food for hoarding purposes, of the proud wife of the owner of a large estate, whose chickens Hay" eggs only for a mark apiece, of the wife of the first lieuten- ant who sells the food articles receiv- ed from her husband at the front at fancy prices and the army of usurers, secret traders and fOrgers.
 The Vorwaerts then dwells on the effects of the steel bath on the grow ing generation and cites complaints by the clergy and teachers to show that depTavity is one of it's results.
