RUNNING THEATERS
is A NEW WRINKLE
FOR UNCLE SAMUEL

New York. june 1.-Realizing the
need of wholesome Entertainment for
soldiers training in the National army
and National guard environments thru
out the country, the government or
the United States for the first time
in history, has undertaken the task
of providing dramatic amusements of
a high order and, to maintain and
improve the standards already set,
has gone into the business of theatre
cal management.
The success already achieved, ac-
cording to a resume of the situation
complied by the commission on train
ing camp activities of the war depart
ment, in charge of the work, augurs
well for the continuation and expan :
sion of the work.
AS a first step, the department con-
structed in each of the sixteen Ma
tional army environments a theater
seating $500 or 5000 persons, and IN
each of the sixteen National guard
environments, smaller one with
capacity between 1000 and 1900. In
each of these theaters there is being
presented nightly a dramatic, mls1cal
or vaudeville performance for which
the admission charge is 25 cents.
The plays presented are all Broad
way successes of past years, given ny
excellent companies, the numbers or
which have given their services at
greatly reduced salaries Royalties
have been waived bv the authors and
the scenery and costumes have been
donated by various theatrical mana-
gers Some of the actors appeared in
the original productions.
! Altho investigation has shown that
the soldiers taste runs to farces and
musical comedies with plenty of pref
ty girls, the government is about to
experiment by hooking a classical
play. Moliere's "The Imaginary In
valid" thru the camps. More ambi-
tious than the type of entertainment
thus far presented the piece possesses
distinct farcical appeal. Its produc-
ton by-Sthe Cobran Players is awaited
with interest.

added on responsible authority.
Some significant revelations were
made today concerning the situation
on the allied side. Information re-
ceived by army officers here shows
that the French line was stripped of
troops to a dangerous extent in the
quiet sector. in order to bolster up
the Flanders and Picardy fronts at the
crisis of the March fighting.
In many sectors of the French line
the average strength left was one
man per meter in the entire front line
system. three trenches deep. This
means that in the very first trench
there was only one man to guard sew
en- meters.
Sin some places the number was even
smaller.
Germans Still Outnumber Us.
Before the fighting began in March
the Germans had 1856 divisions in the
west. The number was increased to
$50 divisions. The allies have been
unable to meet this increase In
strength despite the flow of American
troops
The line between scissors and
Rheims was lightly held when the
present attack began, the number OF
allied troops being about one-fifth the
size of the German forces used ip the
attack.
Under the circumstances the line
was forced to give but the redeeming
feature is that there was no break, the
allies receded gradually and are hold
ing a uniform front.
The number Of prisoners claimed by
the Germans. it Is explained. probably
is due to the tenacious resistance of
the French and British. Positions
were held until enemy waves swept
over them. 1t was impossible to carry
off their wounded and these fell into
enemy hands.
