NAUDE ADAMS HAS POSTPONED
 STAGE SEASON

New York, Oct. 9.-Maude Adams Is at her summer home in the Cat sl1tlls and her condition is said to be such that there is some doubt as to whether she will return to the stage at present.
 The Charles F'rohman Company in tends to send Miss Adams on a star ring tour in December if she is able, but is holding back announcement until next month, when it will be known if she will be strong enough for such strenuous work. The star is very anxious to appear.
 Miss Adams suffered a nervous breakdown in Boston last January and was placed under the care of a specialist. For several months she has been living very quitely, spending most of the time at her summer home in the Catskills.
 Miss Adams was last seen on the New York stage in Barrie's "A Kiss for Cinderella" at the Empire two years ago. Some of her most popular roles were in ''The Little Minister D Peter Pan,'' What Every Woman Knows and Quality Street. She is now forty-seven years old

 COMES TO THE SCREEN
'sIrhe Man Who Stayed at Honle,' '' with AII-Star Cast, to be Shown
 at Empire Theatre.

The Man Who Stayed at Home" the Screen Classics, Inc, production of the famous stage play which ran four years in London and two years in New York, will be the feature at the Empire Theatre on Friday, with an an-star cast of renowned players.
 The play, written by Lechmere Worran and J. E. Harold Terry. deals with inc adventures of a young Secret Service Man, Christopher Brent, who Is detailed by his chiee to run down a band of desperate conspirators. These plotters are harbored at a fashionable seaside hotel and prepared to go to any lengths in their efforts to obtain and transact them to foreign power.
 Young Brent arrives on the scene just as they are about to be success full. He meets a young woman with whom he falls in love at first sighs. She loves him, also, but her ardor is cooled by his mysterious actions and by reason of the fact that he re- fuses to let her know all about his secret mission. Jealousy creeps in when the girl notices that he and the chic Mrs Lee appear to have something in common.
 Brent bears his sweetheart's sus- picions patiently. With the aid of Mrs Lee, who, it turns out, is an other government agent, he thwarts the conspirators and captures them after having saved the hotel from destruction by a bomb planted by

OF HISTORIC FLAG

CONTINUED From Page One.)
When Lord Stirling found that his
retreat was nearly cut on by Cornwall
lis. he directed Major Gist to attack
with half of the Maryland battalion.
and one historian speaks thus of what
followed:
Against all the misfortune of the
day this piece OF resolution and true
lsoldiership stands out In noble relief
The Marylandefs followed their gen.
eral without finching, and were soon
warmly engaged with the enemy, who
had posted themselves at house-the
Iold 'Cortelyou' house--above the upper
mills near the intersection OF the Port
and Gowanus roads. They rallied to
the attack several times, as Stirling
reports, and seemed at the point of
dislodging CORVALLIS, when reinforce
ments came up. and the British drove
the Marylanders back into a piece OF
woods. Here, with conspicuous cour-
age and determination, they formed
again for still another effort to break
through. Strings example was in
ispiring. He encouraged and animated
our young soldiers" writes Gist. with
almost inyincible resolution But his
handful of brave men had done all that
was possible, and in their last charge
they were met by great numbers and
forced to retire again, with much pre-
cipitation and confusion They broke
up into small parties and sought to es-
cape. Nine only. among whom was
Major Gist, succeeded in crossing the
creek. the rest having retreated into
the woods"
Another comment on this part of the
battle says: The conduct of the
Marylanders was soldierly beyond
pYaise. But some accounts subject
them to a singular martydom, killing
every man OF the two hundred and fif-
ty nine reported missing. AS there
was but one officer wounded, or at the
most one killed and one wounded in
the party, according to the official re-
turns, the proportion of men killed
was doubtless small"
The half of the battalion under Ma
jor Gist of Baltimore, which did the
fighting above descibed, was captured
except for the nine men that got across
the creek, but the other half of the
force. under Colonel Smallwood, was
also active in the battle, and was only
withheld from going to the assistance
of Lord Stirling by the refusal Of Gen
eral Sullivan to permit them to do so.
Besides this, Captain Thomas Mary
land Independent Company fought in
the battle and gave good account of
themselves.
For these reasons this particular
flag has a special interest for Mary
