The piece opens with a minstrel

OF DEATH
ALONG FRONTIER
Germans Have Electrically Charged
Fence Which Takes Some
Scheming to Climb
Over.
IBy United Press.l


CHICAGO, March 23.-Germany is
spared more than a half million men
for the western front by an electri-
cally charged wire on the Holland
frontier. The wire serves three inn
portant purposes. according to Lieu
tenant Pat O'Brien, Momence, ILL.,,
boy and British aviator who escaped
after being taken to Germany a
prisoner.

ting out of the country; keeps fugi-
tives like myself from escaping and
stops German sentries from desert
ing" O'Brien said in an interview
with the United Press here. THAT
wire is equal to 100000 guards on
the frontier"
Telling how he passed the barrier,
O'Brien said:
II built ladder out of small trees
that had been cut down. tied the
pieces of wood with my handker-
chief, bits of clothing and a tough
grass rope.
"The first step on 1t, was nearly
killed-probably would have been If
I had touched the wire direct. / was

of me. l just had time to scramble
for shelter and lie down when SEN

and he passed me unseeing.

away the earth beneath the wire. 1t
was some job, that tunneling.
Finally crawled fiat on my
stomach. hands stretched out ahead
of me, and pulled myself under the
wire in safety. My back couldn't have
been more than an inch or two from
the wire"
In Holland, O'Brien said. he passed
as a Belgian peasant long enough to
reach a British consuls Office where
he was given new clothing, money
and everything he needed.
On arriving in England, King
George sent for him to congratulate
O'Brien on his unusual escape from
Germany.
IL had a long audience with the
king and think he is the most demo
cratic man England has ever had on
the throne" O'Brien added.

Y CIRCUS
BIG SUCCESS
Large Attendance and Big Show Goes
Through Without Flaw
Several Star Acts
ON Bill.

The Sorepaugh and Yells mammoth
combined shows exhibited at the Y.
NJ C. A. gymnasium last night to
packed house The performance was
well up to standard and there was
not q spectator who didn't feel that
the show was worth the money.
There were several acts that were
forced to be cancelled, but this in no
way detracted from the merits Of the
big show as a whole, and the manage
ment feels very well satisfied.
There were several features on the
bill that stood out as being meritor-
ious. The headliner position I'M
doubtedly goes to the Berrys in
their bounding wire act. Mr.. and
Mrs. Berry, who are leaving next
week to open their annual tour with
the Walter l.. Main shows, proved
themselves to be versatile artists on
the wire. Another act that provoked
much mtrth was the comedy tumb-
ling act put on by Mr.. Berry and
Frank Satire Director Daniels comes
in for second honors with his slack
wire act, doing some very difficult
balancing and juggling stunts while
balancing on the wire.
Two diminutive trapeze artists,
French and Singleton, featured in an
aerial act that was good, and the
senior gymnastic class in their
pyramid and balancing act also got
a lot Of applause. The clowns were
very much in evidence and staged
one pantomime baseball game that
would have done credit to Marceline
of the New York Hippodrome. AS
whole, the performance was ercellent
amusement and was one that will give
the management license to come
again
