Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Farr re-
turned to their home at Hunt
last week taking young Norman
Ernest with them to study the
Photography of Apache county.
Ernest the II arrived in town
during their visit here and as he
appeared such a perfect boy
they decided not to make other
proud parents feel sad by putting
him in the baby show to win the
prizes. His age and weight to
date is five weeks and ten pounds.

There is another existing condi-
ton that is humiliating to the major
ity of play-goers. All are not expect
ed to appreciate difficult acting but
every one is supposed to have proper
respect for scenes of tragedy and
pathos. What could be more dis
couraging to one whose whole self is
lost in the atmosphere of difficult
scene than to be awakened by a thot-
less laugh or mock imitation of the
performance by some half a dozen
on-lookers?
Let us stand for higher stand
ards to be maintained by our audiences
and thus insure better presentations.
A CITIZEN.
Citizens" article was brot out
by his attendance at the play, "The
Melting Pot" by a band of our best
local players, and the plot is of old
and world wide stage fame.
"Citizen" himself is one among
our best actors, or perhaps he would
prefer to be known as an amateur.
Being an actor and also being deeply
interested in "The Melting Pot" he
was, therefore, a keen observer and
consequent critic.
This paper has called attention to
the gibby-gabby manners exhibited
by some when four-minute speakers
were before picture show audiences.
Our criticism of such conduct is in
line with what ''Citizen" has to say
about his subject.
If some people don't know when
to applaud at theaters does not, in
our mind, prevent them from know
ing how to show proper respect for
speakers on public occasions, especi-
ally where the very life or death of
our nation is the subject.
And children don't furnish all
the gibby-gabby, either.

Big Attack Coming.
The word went around that the big
attack was to come June 10. There
was the regular mount of gossip and
thousand different rumors as to
what was to happen and on how wide
a froPt the offensive was to be made.
1t was always the same. The rank
and file knew as much as old Haig
when anything was to come off. The
only difference between headquarters
and the men was that the men knew
so many things that weren't so. In
general, though, pretty nearly every
thing OF consequence seeped down to
the men in one form or another. The
trouble was to sort out the true from
the false.
On the Messines Ridge attack the
powers at the head of things fooled
us purposely. They drilled the idea
into us that the attack was to come
off June 10 and every man had that
notion firmly imbedded in his mind.
Their was a good reason for this. The
German secret service was very
active They, no doubt. had spies be-
hind our lines and perhaps in the very
army.
Now the mining situation was, as l
ha", said, peculiar. Both sides were
playing awfully close. Hill 90 was
full Of high explosive placed by our
sappers. And lower down in the hill
the Germans had mined and had no
Omaha daily bee., 1918-05-05

doubt placed more or less dynamite.
Also, as | have said, they had come
across under our support tunnel
These mining operations cannot be
kept secret by either side for long,
The royal engineer officers are listen
ing all the time They have an in
strument of the nature of a micro
phone, a jigger that is stuck down in
the ground and kind of stethoscope
affair to put to the ears. With this
they can hear the slightest tap or
scrape. After a good deal of practice
they get so they can tell whether
digging is going on and how far ad-
vanced the mining processes are.
When the enemy begins bringing in
boxes OF explosive that is betrayed,
too, by the changed sound. If the
enemy is nearly ready to set off his
mines and the R. f. officers detect it..
| why, of course, our men are ordered
from the vicinity. The trick is to wait
until the last possibly moment. 1t is
shivery business trying, to outguess
Heinies on this sort of thing.
Germans Dig Under.
Well, on this Hill 90 business we
we're going close to the limit. The en-
gineers had been listening to the dig
ging under our support tunnel and
they knew that the Germans had
nearly finished bringing in the boxes
of high explosive-that they were al
most ready to touch it off Which
would have been a disaster. .

Arthur James Mckay, "ShelIproof Mack

Being Of an adventurous spirit, he enlisted

failure Of this country to Immediately de-
clare war upOL Germany.
On his first trip over the top he was
wounded and applied for discharge on ac-
count Of being an American citizen. His re-
quest was granted but Mack tore up his
application and went back to the front when
an officer showed thS need for his services.
After being wounded three more times
Mack was st,i on the firing line and on
Christmas Eve. 1917, told story to his

if he were a prisoner now in Germany and

British before the United States entered the
war he probably would be shot.
