almost led to doubt the frenuent as

ttallty seemed to be slipping away
from them last night. The company
which has been assembled to support
the star is of moderate ability. Lorin
Raker in the part Of a boy from
E)mira showed marked ability. Not
everything that he did was right. but
there was ample evidence that he pos
sessed the skill to do pleasing work,
given the proper material and the
proper direction. Roy Briant also
rose somewhat above the general av-
erage of the supporting company.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-An of- ficial narrative of the part Ameri- can industry played in providing munitions for the American army in the great war is unfolded in a Took being prepared under the di- rection of Assistant Secretary Crow ell of the War Department, who was Director of Munitions up to the close of hostilities, when he was specially assigned by the Pres ident to direct the demobilization of material
 Advance pages of two sections of the book, those dealing with the Chemical Warfare material, offen- sive and defensive, and with the equipment for the Signal Corps were made available a short time ago, telling for the first time officially and completely not only of the stu pandous scope of the project; but of the difficulties and delays en- countered and of the patriotic sup port of the war program given by American business generally.
 The Chemical Warfare section tells of the original work done by the ordnance department toward ob- taining toxic gases and anti-gas de vices for the use of the American troops. Subsequently this service became separate branch of the army under the direction of Ma for General w. L. Sibert.

TABLOID WARFARE OF
 DOUCHBOYS AGAINST
 BOLSHEVIKI DESCRIBED
The Allies Were Greatly Outnum- bered by Bolsheviki in Northern
 France, and Regular
 Indian Fighting

EXCHANGED, May 27.-The ta- bloid warfare that the American doughboys and miscellaneous col lection of Allies have been waging against the Bolsheviki up in Au- rora Borealis land since the land ing of an Allied corporal's guard at klchangel, on August 3, has had most of the thrills of the big war in France, with a few pet thrills all of it's own.
 In the summer it was a game of bushwacking, boy scouting, hide and seek and Indian fighting in the swamps, with the added attractions of airplanes, shrapnel, high explos- ives, trench mortars, gunbOats and armored trains. In winter when the thermometer registers around 30 degrees, below zero, 1t is some- thing like an Eski tribal feud, the Eskimos being equipped with all modern devices for putting their opponents out of the combat.
 The Allied North Russian Expe- OICCS W uocC DdShUOhC Ao the Yank doughboy, has been bat ting this winter against double, or triple or quadruple odds. These Tanks and Tommies and pollus and half dozen varieties of Russians and Poles have been scattered out in this column operating over a territory about as large as Ger many and colder than Medicine Hat or Moose Jaw. There were seven or eight of these columns and they branched out like palm leaf fan from its handle, which is Archangel, stretching far and wide from the wastes of the Pechora river on the shores of the Arctic ocean and not very far from the siberian boundary. to the scarcely less frozen country at Omega Bay, west of Archangel, where they con- meet with the Murmansk, or Kola force.
 Each of these columns has pene- trated inland, along railroad, high road, river or forest trail, into the territory of the Bolshevih and, on most of them, Tanks have been at the far-front, where the trouble Isl thickest And, as most of the Americans who have met John Bol- sheviki face to face will tell you, as a trouble-maker, John is active especially when he ha sone out numbered and outgunned.

The martyr City" was shell by the Germans on 1051 days and oyer 1000 persons were killed, including some 300 women and 100 children. The cathedral was struck by 287 shells up to March 31, 1918. After that date no record was kept. April 24, 1917, was the worst day of the war for Rheims. The bom- bardment was so terrific that no rec ords were made of the casualties and damage on that day.

French, HoWeUer, Unable to

PARIS, June 1S.-President Wilson
up to the time of his departure for
Belgium was very hopeful that the
Germans would sign the peace treaty.
His optimism surprises many here,
with the answer of the Allies, espe-
cially believing 1t TO be persuasive.
Another reason for his optimism Is
said to be that he has received re-
ports of unofficial talks between the
Americans and Germans on the occa-
sion of the meeting of the Germans
with the financial commission TO
reform the payments ny Germany.
These meetings have been going on
quietly at Versailles. but have &C.
capped attention.
The Americans sounded the Ger
mans to some extent. although en-
tirely unOfficially. and some mOdifica-
tlons of the treaty are understood TO
have been prompted by what they re-
IDIltN. II IL lllC btlltl VI lucSV
Americans that while men like Max
Warburg are saying officially now
that the treaty cannot be accepted,
nt the final hour they will press for
signature. One report current in
Paris to-day was that Count Johann
Won Bernstorff was inclined this way.
as he wished to come here to sign the
treaty in place of Count Won Brock
dorff RantZau.
On the other hand, the French have
confidential reports from Welmar that
the Germans are highly incensed by
the sharp tone OF Premier Clemen-
ceau's letter OF arraignment, as they
were confident that nothing like an
ultimatum would be forthcoming from
the Allies. 1t is the conviction OF
many diplomats here that the Ger
mans will seek further delay, count
ing on the desire of the Allies not
to resume the war.
