Elsie Janis Takes
Breath of broadway
To Men at Front
tBv The Associated Press

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. Thursday, May 23.-Seldom
has a theatrical entertainment been
staged in more unusual setting than
one given this afternoon in a location
which enabled several hundred hot and
dirty American troopers just out of the
trenches to get back for an hour or so
TO the atmosphere of Broadway. An
open-air prize ring was the stage. Air
planes purred overhead and the BOOM
ing of the guns on the front was
plainly heard. From the ring, at 8
orossroad on a hill, the German bor-
derland opposite the Toul sector could
be plainly seen.
The performer was Miss Elsie Janis.
She told stories, sang new songs and
danced and for the most part appeared
unconcerned over the unusual condi-
tons surrounding the performance.
Once, however, when a German air.
plane scared in the sky not so very far
away and the American anti-aircraft
guns began bursting shrapnel around
it the performance stopped for mo-
ment while Miss Janis looked up and
asked if there was any chance of her
being killed, because she didn't want
TO be, as she had work to do to NOR
row.
The assembled doughboys, thick on
the ground around the stage and
rerched on the housetops everywhere
within hearing and seeing distances,
yelled in chorus, "No. keep ont"
AT the conclusion Miss Janis offered
to show the men the new dance steps
and several accepted, including one
mule skinner" who created much
amusement. The music was furnished
by Y. NJ. c. A. secretary on the rem
nant of an old piano.
Miss Janis planned 20 remain in the
vicinity of the Toul front for two days,
entertaining at various rest camps.

Real Objective Of Drive Is
to Give U-Boats New
Chance
Clan7or for Decision
Spurs LudendorH
To Stop Now Would Be to
Confess Promised Vic
tory Is Impossible
By c. w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Rccent de-
velopments in the Allied campaign
against the submarine make it plain
that the real objective of the Germans
in the West must be the Channel ports
If Germany does not get these ports
she faces the prospect Of steadily di-
minishing usefulness Of her U-boats.
The figures of sinkngs will tell her
people that the device for the sake of
using which she drew this country into
the war is failure.
The Channel ports are now her great
need. Military authorities here in
Washington believe that breaking of
the Allied line would be no such
serious blow as the loss of Calais and
the neighboring harbors.
The raids by sea and air upon Ostend
and Zcebrugge arc not sporadic, but are
part Of large plan to press the attack
upon the submarine everywhere. An
element in that plan, and an important
element, is the new mine field recently
announced in the dispatches from Lon
don.
The bottling up of the submarine,
which has been urged IN this CORE
spordencc for year, is now being at
tempted, with every prospect at least of
greatly reducing the number Of sub
marines which will be able to attack
British and French shipping.
No such mine field as the British and
American navies have laid will entirely
confine the submarine. Storms and
heavy tides will affect the best marine
traps ever set, but they will at least
make it extremely difficult and danger
Gus for the U-boats to get out where
they can4do the most damage to Allied
and American shipping.
AT any rate, the war is at last being
carried home against the submarine not
only in his nests at Ostend and Zee
brugge, but in his larger and most per-
manent bases in the German ports.
SO the holding Of the Channel ports,
the loss of which would bring the u
boat closer to the British shore, be-
comes of even greater Importance to
the Allies; important as it was before
that this short line of communication
between England and her armies at
the front should be kept open. So
wherever the coming German drive ap-
pears to centre at first it is likely to
be found that it's real aim is to weaken
the grasp EnglaW has on Calais and
The delay of this drive does not sur
prise military authorities in Washing
ton. They point out that it was weeks
after the original drive of Germany
was announced before it actually was
set in motion. 1t was expected daily
for more than a month. The delay
continued so long that men began to
believe that the drive was a bluff.

Drives 5,8O4 Rivets in
9 Hours, a New Record

LONDON, May 24.-A new riveting
record for the United Kingdom was
made yesterday at Barrow by William
Moses, an employe of Vickers, Limited.
Using 2S1s pound riveting shammer
on firing beams for 9.2-inch howitzers,
Moses drove 5,804 rivets in nine hours.
The rivets were of two kinds, counter
sunk and snaphead, and the tools en-
ployed had been in use for twelve
months.
Moses made slow beginning, owing
to defective heating arrangement, and
at noon, which was half time, the score
stood at $500. At o'clock it was
3,2S5
Mr.. Mackenzie, one of the directors
of Vickers, had offered $125 if 5000
rivets were driven, $50 if Moses beat
the mark Of 4,422 made by Thomas De-
vine on the Clyde last week and s25 if
Devlne's mark was equalled.
When time was called Moses wiped
the sweat from his brow and jumped
down from the platform amid the en-
thusiastic cheers of thousands of fellow
workers. The Mayor of Barrow, who
| had been an interested onlooker
stepped forward and warmly congratu.
lated Moses upon his achievement.

military advice would oppose, but
should express the hope, which l know
is shared by the people of Italy, that
some day in the not far off future
American soldiers shall tread the soil

Mr.. Baker had prepared his speech
before leaving Washington, but on
learning. after his arrival in New York,
of the sinking of the transport Mol
davia he referred to the difficulty
which beset the sending Of American
troops to Europe.
The American army must travel

which are peculiar to this war. Even
tonight learn that transport carry
ing soldiers has been lost, but l am
happy to tell you with but slight loss

great, but it is said to be slight And
that message called very vividly to my
mind the picture of that submarine

the American soldier must lace it."

But. Mr.. Baker declared. the sub
marine is becoming less menace. "It

Materials Combined Effectively.

Materials Combined Effectively. They have already been voted as the most popular style of top coat and this is easily proven if one strolls down the avenue and notes the big margin of plurality in their favor.
 Silverton a Popular Material.
 Of course the materials used in the development of these coats are heavy, durable stuffs. Duvetyn is used ex- tensively and close rival is wool ve- Jour. But at the top is the new fab ric which has been introduced on the market but recently. Silvertone it is named and it is indeed one of the most beautiful materials that has been seen for a long time. As the gor- geosuness of the material satisfies the taste for the lavish, very little trim ming is needed. Fur usually appears at the collar and on the cuffs and this enhances the beauty of the already beautiful wrap. Huge buttons are used sparingly, really more out of ne- cessity than for trimming purposes. The prices vary with the quality of material and quantity of fur, but after all I'm sure madame would gladly spend more than she expected to when she has tried on one of these smart wraps. Perfection of line and the charm of grace turk in their very folds. One of the shops shows a stunning model of sort of old blue. Skunk fur claims the right to finish the collar and cuffs and, indeed, one would have to go a long way to find prettiers combination. The lining is of an unusual type dye silk, the colors harmonizing with the color of the coat. The proud possessor of this would indeed have an object of envy for many eyes.
 More Novelties.
 Constantly novelties are popping up. Now Dame Fashion has decided that with blouses of dark colored Geor- gette crepe one must have an equally dark ctmisole. And immediately her demand was satisfied; and now we have magenta, black and violet cam isoles on the market. It is rather a clever idea to wear contrasting color under the blouse. But one must know colors and be sure they are in perfect harmony, for if not the result would be calamity. For instance, very attractive color combination would be dark blue blouse worn over rose madder which would give the ef- feet of violet. Great care must be ex- erted and much consideration given to the complexion of the wearer. These heavy colors are trying to wear, that is, more trying than the pastel shades, and unless one studies one's possibil- ities most disastrous result is bound to ensue.

RED CROSS MEETINGS
 NOTES OF INTEREST

Two Christmas Roll Call Conferen- ces have been planned in the Pacific Division, American Red Cross. One will be held in San Francisco, Decem- Der 4th at the St. Francis Hotel, at 10 a. m.; the other in Los Angeles, December 9th at the Hotel Alexan- dria at 10:30 p. m.
 R. B. Hale, Chairman of the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call Committee, will preside at both meetings. Lunch con sptakers will in clude Gov. Stephens of California, Gov. Hunt of Arizona, and Gov. Boyle of Nevada, also Larry Harris.
 The purpose of the Conference is to make final plans for the Christmas Roll Call Campaign. Delegates from all Red Cross Chapters in the Divis- ion are expected 10 attend. Northern California and Nevada will be repre- sented in San Francisco, and South ern California and Arizona in the Los Angeles Conference.
 Tt will take all the serious minded workers in the Red Cross to do what is to be done," was the statement made by A. B. c. Dohrmann, Acting Manager of the Pacific Division, in discussing the postwar program for the American Red Cross.
 Red Cross vision gives all workers far away glimpse of what can be done by an organization that repre- sents a great people imbued with a great purpose of service.
 The ban placed on Red Cross enter tainments during the United War Fund campaign has been withdrawn and Red Cross Chapters can now con- duct any money-raising plans not in- consistent with the general policy of the American Red Cross. Lotteries, games of chance and rallies are barr ed in mandatory ruling of the War Council.
 Salvage in Red Cross is an activity that has come to stay, is the opinion of the Bureau of Salvage and Shop. As an education in conservation, it is to be extended particularly to the Juniors; as a source of income to Chapters, it is to be encouraged to in- crease funds available to "carry on' Red Cross rtlief work.
 Garments versus Bandages, is the Red Cross Chapter workroom program of Peace versus War. In bulletin issued by the Bureau of Chapter Pro- duction, necessity for speed in making refugee garments is emphasized by the statement: "To give quickly is to give thrice"
 The Civilian Relief program for de- vastated Europe, needy Siberia and the mutilated Orient is comprehensive as planned by the American Red Cross.
 All Chapters are being called upon to do their share.

Indian summer days have fingered with us for long time and therefore delayed the showing of winter apparel. But with coming of the crisp cool days the avenue soon takes on a de- cided wintry aspect. And how deli ciously refreshing it is to see the big warm comfortable coats again. And how suddenly the coat wrap has ap- peared. Tins is decidedly the feature of winter styles.
