Here in France, Comrades in Service

series Of soldiers clubs, with the men
electing their own officials and taking
a large part in forming the program Of
their individual chapters.

also because they had small OppOrtu-

M, 326th infantry, SD division, who was
wounded In a patrol encounter near
the front lines on the Franco Belgian
front. has returned, home with a story
Of unbelievable cruelty suffered at the
hands Of the Germans. Sergt. Mont
gomery was wounded Oct. "a, while
leading a patrol against the Huns. He
was fired upon by a German sharp
shooter and fell to the ground, motion
ing at the same time to his companions
to seek cover. While lying on the
ground the German sha~rpshooter con-
tinued to fire upon Montgomery n
his right leg was riddled with bullets.
He also suffered a flesh wound in the
arm.
Before his companions could return
| with a stretcher Montgomery had been
captured. His injured leg was dressed
in a plain way and for II days the
bandage was not removed. While suf-
fering great agony from his wounds,
Sergt. Montgomery was grflled by Ger
man officers and then on the twelfth
day learned that his leg would be am
putated.
Then he was shifted from one hos
| pital to another until the armistice.
He weighed $50 pounds when injured,
but when turned loose by the Germans
weighed only IS pounds, He has re-
gained much of his weight, but still is
weak. Sergt. Montgomery entered the
service May IL, 1918.

The Woman Thou GaVest Me Is
a radical departure in social drama ana
treats of the dominance of the heart
over the mind. The story. as nearly
every one knows. revolves about the
life of a pretty girl who is sacrificed

family before she even realizes the
meaning of matrimony. Circumstances

comes her first real love to which she

The scenes are quite dramatic ana
the play is excellently staged with a
notable cast including Katherine McS

John O'MaIley rightfully belongs in

dip into vaudeville and this is the rea-
son for his appearance over the Loew

his voice one of exceptional merit and
pleasing qualities.
